  • Compendium of World War Two Memories

    Compendium of World War Two Memories

    World War Two memories Short accounts of the wartime experiences of individual Radley residents and memories of life on the home front in the village Compiled by Christine Wootton Published on the Club website in 2020 to mark the 75th Anniversary of the end of World War Two Party to celebrate VJ Day in August 1946 Victory over Japan Day (VJ Day) was on 8 August 1945. It's likely the party shown in the photograph above was held in Lower Radley in a field next to the railway line opposite the old village hall. Club member Rita Ford remembers a party held there with the little ones in fancy dress, including Winston Churchill and wife, a soldier and a Spitfire. The photograph fits this description. It's possible the party was one of a series held after 1945 until well into the 1950s to celebrate VE Day and similar events, and so the date of 1946 handwritten on the photograph may indeed be correct. www.radleyhistoryclub.org.uk ABOUT THE PROJECT These accounts prepared by Club member and past chairman, Christine Wootton, have two main sources: • recordings from Radley History Club’s extensive oral history collection • material acquired by Christine during research on other topics. Below Christine explains how the project came about. Some years ago Radley resident, Bill Small, gave a talk at the Radley Retirement Group about his time as a prisoner of war. He was captured in May 1940 at Dunkirk and the 80th anniversary reminded me that I had a transcript of his talk. I felt that it would be good to share his experiences with the wider community and this set me off thinking that it would be useful to record, in an easily accessible form, the wartime experiences of more Radley people.
  • The 1522 Muster Role for West Berkshire (Part 5)

    The 1522 Muster Role for West Berkshire (Part 5)

    Vale and Downland Museum – Local History Series The 1522 Muster Role for West Berkshire (Part 5) - Incomes in Tudor Berkshire: A Recapitulation by Lis Garnish A well reasoned counter argument is always useful in research, calling for a reappraisal of the evidence and possibly opening up new and profitable lines of thought. Having written an initial article in "Oxfordshire Local History" on the 1522 Muster Certificate for west Berkshire (1), and a follow up one suggesting that the figures for “goods” were income rather than capital (2), I was pleased to see Simon Kemp’s article in reply (3). However, I finished reading the item with a sense of disappointment and confusion. Disappointment because he had produced very little in the way of extra evidence from the west Berkshire area, and confusion because he seemed to be countering propositions which I had not made. Kemp's article seems to contain two main lines of argument. Firstly, that the figures for “goods” given in the 1522 Muster Certificate were for “total wealth”, not income, and secondly that the comparison I made with later probate inventories was unjustified. If he had confined himself to the second argument he might have had a valid point. The comparison was a speculative one in an attempt to set the figures in a wider context, although in the absence of other hard evidence I feel it was justifiable to try to draw some conclusions. However, his case for “goods” being capital, as opposed to income, does not seem to have been made. Kemp's first criticism seems to be that two lists were required from the Muster Commissioners, that these were to be separate and that I have ignored this evidence (3).

    THE THAMES THROUGH TIME The Archaeology of the Gravel Terraces of the Upper and Middle Thames: The Thames Valley in the Medieval and Post-Medieval Periods AD 1000–2000 The Medieval Rural Landscape AD 1000–1500 THE THAMES THROUGH TIME The Archaeology of the Gravel Terraces of the Upper and Middle Thames: The Thames Valley in the Medieval and Post-Medieval Periods AD 1000-2000 The medieval rural landscape, c AD 1000–1500 by James Bond INTRODUCTION The study of the medieval rural landscape entails a long history of research. The late 19th and early 20th century saw several pioneering works by historians who aimed to shift the spotlight from matters of political and religious history towards a better understanding of the countryside (eg Seebohm 1883; Vinogradoff 1892; Maitland 1897). The work of Gray (1915) built on these early studies by emphasising the considerable evidence of regional variation in landscape character. By the 1950s, interest in the medieval rural landscape, and particularly of the medieval village, was accelerating, with research by Beresford (1954) and W G Hoskins (1955) amongst the most prominent. The emerging knowledge base was now becoming founded on archaeological research and this was increasingly complemented by architectural (eg Long 1938–1941; Faulkner 1958; Currie 1992) and place/field-name studies (Gelling 1954; 1976; Bond 1982; Faith 1998) which added further detail and context to understanding of medieval settlements. Broader appreciation of the wider landscape, in terms of how it was used, organised and perceived by its medieval inhabitants have also been examined from the perspective of the elite (eg Creighton 2009; Langton 2010) and increasingly from the point of view of the peasant (eg Faith 1997; Dyer 2014).
