Langford Chapel The Past Editors of the Diary The Langford Diary, Edition 200, so it is 50 years old.This means I was in my mid-forties when I first became Editor and I continued for 22 years before handing over to David, my son. First I must congratulate Trudy for bringingThe Diary into the 21st Century. Who would have thought that technology would have moved so fast over 50 years? Now I must thank all contributors - without them there would be no Diary. I would like to thank John Shipman for his historical input - very interesting. The advertisements, there’s a Ralph Turner - Editor 1969 to 1986 thought. In the early days,The Diary was run on a shoestring budget.When adverts failed to come in, I had to have some help and Gerry Seward, then a Councillor, offered to get village adverts. Many had said to me, it’s not worth it, but Gerry told them, maybe not, but if you want The Diary, we need your financial contribution. I was very surprised that we had no more problems from then on. The production of the Diary relies on many people, thanks to the team, including the proof-readers, the deliverers, and not forgetting the printers. In my time as Editor it was Elphicks of Biggleswade and now the valuable work is done by Steve Hills in Langford. Let us hope the Diary goes from strength to strength in our expanding village. Ralph W.Turner. Gerry Seward 2 It seems an age ago now that the Parish Council approved the idea of a quarterly magazine for the village...and I wonder if the village realises how lucky it is still to have such a magazine. Other local villages have tried and failed to make a go of such a publication whilst Langford's goes from strength to strength. When I took over from Ralph asEditor, I was ably supported by Gerry Seward collating the 'Dates for your Diary' and Joan Wareing looking after all the adverts. I guess that chasing people for contributions is as difficult now as it was then! I remember that we tried to make the 100th issue a bit special and now a quarter of a century later I'm sure that you will make a success of number 200. I wish you all the best for this and every forthcoming issue. David Turner - Editor 1986 to 1991 We celebrate the continued Langford Diary, Robert Larman with wife Julie a publication of varied content needs no inquiry, Editor 1991 to 2000 as Editors come and go with dedication abound, it is hoped the reader is informed in the round. Some say the adverts tend to overcome the news, but the many trades provide the village with diverse hues. The support of the Parish council has always been there, to provide a volunteer service is in their care. Let us wish the future years are with "little hit", black and white or colour doesn't matter a bit. My time as Editor was helped by others, many sadly now passed away, but we have good folk today giving their time and skills, fulfilling the vital role to keep the diary going with or without taking the pills! 3 I was the editor of the Langford Diary for eight or nine years. When Joan Wareing asked if I would take on the job as editor I was quite worried. Although I had done many different jobs I had never tried anything like that before. However, I said I would give it a go, and, with help from Joan, I soon got into the swing of things. I enjoyed putting it together. Joan would collate the adverts. I had help with the archive section from Gerry Seward and of course Ralph Turner.They were both very helpful. It doesn't seem like ten years since I reported that the Diary had been going for forty years. This is a great local magazine and deserves to be kept going. I hope someone will be recording it's sixty years of coming through our letter boxes. So well done to the ex-editors, and to Trudy, Stella Hill - Editor 2000 to 2014 keep up the good work. Stella Hill This is the 200th edition of the Langford Diary which I think is something to celebrate! Special thanks should go to the previous editors for their contributions to this edition. They would have found it much harder than me without the present technology. Before email, reminders were sent by hand to contributors. It would have been more difficult to collate submissions without the use of computers. Let’s hope The Diary is still a useful resource to our residents, for finding tradesmen and finding out about events and organisations. Thank you for all those people who looked out photos and memories for me.I do hope you will enjoy reading them. If we haven’t included all your photos we will endeavour to use them in another edition.Thanks also to Steve Hills for his perseverance!This issue has given him quite a bit more extra work. The annual litter picking has made the village look a lot tidier and the Garage Sale which took place on the same day gave the village a friendly atmosphere. However, more litter pickers would have made the task easier. Hopefully more will help next time. This summer we can look forward to out Playing Field Fete and raft Race on July 3rd. Let’s hope the sun shines and it is as successful as last year’s. Trudy Emery [email protected] 4 The Langford Diary - The Beginnings to Now Recently I spent a very interesting afternoon with RalphTurner. For those who are new to the village, Ralph has been a stalwart of the village for probably a life time. He has archived many old photos of Langford and taken innumerable photos of Langford to document its changes. If you want to know anything about the history of our village Ralph has always been the one to ask. In 1967 there were many local organisations in the village, just as there are today.Ralph and some friends decided it was time to inform all the residents of venues, dates and times of the meetings or events.And so, the Langford Diary was born. The first four editions were hand written, but they decided a typewriter was needed and so a Remington, at the cost to the Parish Council of £10 was purchased. Ian Dow was the first editor but by the fifth issue Ralph became editor with the help of John Sewell with Gerry Seward being responsible for collating the dates of the meetings. Dennis Smith organised the advertising and Philip Rutt became an adviser. It wasn’t until the year 2000 that a word processor was used. The Langford Diary was printed by Elphicks, and Dorothy and Bob Lockey delivered them. In 1974 there was a bit of a hiccup and the Diary could have been discontinued, but for- tunately it was decided to carry on. The Editors have been Editions 1 to 4, Ian Dow, Editions 5 to 91 from 1969 to 1986, Ralph Turner, Editions 92 to 114 from 1986 to 1991, David Turner, Editions 115 to 148 from 1991 to 2000, Robert Larman Editions 149 to 185 from 2000 to 2014, Stella Hill And that’s when I took over. This is 200th edition. Ralph has kept all copies of The Langford Diary and has recently bequeathed them to me. I feel honoured. So, if you would like to see any of the earlier editions please ask me. Trudy Emery 5 King George Memorial Playing Field The Playing Field continues to be a great source of activity in the village,with cricket, football, tennis and bowls being played on a regular basis. Fitness classes are also held Monday evenings and Wednesday mornings. Weekly safety inspections of the playing field,including all equipment,are carried out by Adrian Crawley, which are then passed to the Facilities Manager for any necessary action.The Playing Field Management Committee would also like to give a special thanks to Adrian for the excellent condition he keeps the field and surrounding areas.The annual ROSPA report will be carried out in May. Unfortunately, a group of youths are acting very unsociably on the field, inhaling Nitrous Oxide, together with using sharp implements have resulted in the picnic bench being badly damaged.The Police have been informed and the Management Committee will take the appropriate action should anyone be caught acting criminally. Should you see anyone with a weapon, please call 999 and inform the Police. The Committee is now very small in numbers and would very much welcome additional input and suggestions. Please come along to the ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING TO BE HELD ON THURSDAY 21 JUNE 2018 AT 7.30PM IN THE VILLAGE HALL. – you won’t be made Chairman on the first night! For further details contact Gill Clarke, Facilities Manager on 07826 928882. We have remained stable in our number of volunteers who continue to serve the needs of this community in various ways in order that people can retain their independence. Most of our calls are connected with medical appointments but increasingly we are being asked to support social needs. After the disappointment of our cancelled Christmas Party as a result of the snow, it is planned to invite clients to afternoon tea at Langford Garden Centre. We have been very fortunate to receive a donation of five hundred pounds from Langford Parish Council which has funded the purchase of a new wheel chair which is much lighter and more manoeuvrable than the old one.

  • The Evaluation of Bedfordshire Burial Registration, L538-L851
    The evaluation of Bedfordshire burial registration, L538-L851 Peter Razzell, Christine Spence and Matthew Woollard Abstract This article is based mainly on a digital transcript of burials for 126 Bedfordshire parishes 7538-7851, and a county index of wills for the same period. The comparison of probate with burial register data indicated that there uas little long-term change oaer time in burial tmder-registratiott, with between 21 and 27 per cent of utill entries missing in the registers. There was also little aariation between parishes of dffirent population sizes, suggesting that burial tmder-registratiot'L was predominantly a random process linked to clerical negligence. A comparison of 1841 and L851 census data, linked to the Bedfordshire burial database, reaealed thnt missing burials amongst married couples was 29 per cent, similar to that found in the probatelburial register comparison in the 1840s. These findings on the adequacy of burial registers -saggesf thnt similar resesrch on others counties will be necessary in order to establish reliable conclusions about England's population history. Introduction One of the major issues of historical demography has been the reliability of Anglican parish registers and its relationship to English population history in the period 1538-1850.1 Assumptions about the reliability of registers have had a major effect on the interpretation of population change, and this has had a significant impact on the debate about the nature of population growth during the 'parish register period'. Much of the uncertainty about demographic change is due to the inflation factors used for the correction of missing births and deaths in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.

The village is tiny, only amounting to a hundred people for a few years in the 19th century, but its origins are old. A Roman pavement was found at the old rectory and the suffix ‘worth’ means an enclosed settlement, in this case Edda’s, a name dating from well before the Norman Conquest. To the east of the church there are traces of a moated site, suggesting that the church may not always have been as far as it now is from its village.

This can probably be explained by the returning after the Black Death of 1348–49; crossing the farmyard to where the church fact that the church belonged to St Neot’s Priory and the porches and battlemented clerestory are stands on a meticulously tended slope beyond.

  • Langford GI Plan, Will Be Used by the Authority in Considering Development Proposals and Assisting with the Creation of Green Infrastructure Assets
    Langford Green Infrastructure Plan April 2011 Langford Parish Council LANGFORD’S GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN Introduction: Langford’s Green Infrastructure (GI) Plan is part of a programme of 19 parish and town GI plans across the area funded by Central Bedfordshire Council and facilitated by Bedfordshire Rural Communities Charity, the Greensand Trust and the Marston Vale Trust. BRCC was asked by Central Bedfordshire Council to assist in the production of the GI plans as it is a charity that works with local communities and landowners to conserve and enhance the landscape, wildlife and history in this area. At the heart of BRCC’s work is the belief that the best results are achieved by empowering local communities, giving them a say in issues that affect them. BRCC has over 50 years experience of community development support and facilitating community consultation; and has nearly 20 years experience of planning and delivering green infrastructure projects in east Bedfordshire. What the plan shows The community green infrastructure plan shows information about the existing environment, and identifies aspiration and proposals from community members to enhance the local green infrastructure. These aspirations and proposals include priorities to maintain existing assets, enhance or restore existing assets, and create new green infrastructure. The information is shown on a map, which identifies both existing green infrastructure, and aspirations for improving the green infrastructure network. The plan as a whole is based on a robust approach to making and implementing a high quality green infrastructure network for the existing and future residents of Langford. It should be acknowledged that not all of the aspirations identified will be delivered, because there are many other influencing factors, such as the views of landowners, existing planning permissions and allocations, potential future land use allocations and the cost of enhancements.

O&H control land allocated for development under Policy MA3 of the Central Bedfordshire (North): Site Allocations Document Plan Document (April 2011) (Site Allocations DPD) and have a promotional agreement in respect of Land South of Wixams, which is subject to an outline planning application (reference CB/17/02575/OUT). This representation relates to the Policy MA3 land. Separate submissions – made jointly with Old Road Securities – address Land South of Wixams. Terminology Land allocated under adopted Policy MA3 is referred to in the Site Allocations DPD as ‘Land south of Wixams’. The land south of MA3 was proposed to be allocated under the (now withdrawn) Central Bedfordshire Development Strategy and was identified as draft Policy 63. The emerging Local Plan now uses the name ‘Land South of Wixams’ in relation to the draft Policy 63 land. We recommend that a clearer naming convention is utilised for the next stage of plan-making. For the purpose of this representation, we use ‘Policy MA3 land’ to refer to O&H’s landholding immediately south of Wixams.
