  • Descendants of Sampson Toovey and Katherine Shrimpton of Amersham

    Descendants of Sampson Toovey and Katherine Shrimpton of Amersham

    DESCENDANTS OF SAMPSON TOOVEY AND KATHERINE SHRIMPTON OF AMERSHAM January 2017, revised August 2017 1 PREFACE This research was undertaken at the request of the Curator of Amersham Museum, Emily Toettcher, who wanted information about the Toovey family members who had lived in the building that now houses the museum. It was very soon apparent that much investigation had already been carried out. The trigger- factor was probably the death of Ronald Frank Toovey on 14 August 1980 in Wycombe Hospital. He was the last survivor of the four children of Frederick Samson Toovey and Sarah Ann Clare. He was unmarried, childless and intestate and, although his solicitors twice attended to try to get a Will drawn, it was too late. The solicitors commissioned a genealogist to act as heir hunter and eventually heirs were identified and the estate distributed. This seems to have generated interest in their ancestry among the descendants of Ronald Frank’s grandfather Henry Toovey (1822-1910). At that time there was considerable interest also in exploring the capabilities of computers for storing and analysing genealogical data. The Toovey family featured in an article in Computers in Genealogy in March 1993 1. In 1995 Richard Boyles wrote Toovey’s in Amersham, My Family History and kindly presented a copy to Amersham Museum. While carrying out this research he became aware of Dr DW Jopling who two years later would publish The Descendants of Toovey of Watlington, born ca 1540. A copy of this, accompanied by a roll pedigree, is in the Library of the Society of Genealogists in London.

  • Appendix 4: Proposed Community Boards Geographies

    Appendix 4: Proposed Community Boards Geographies

    Appendix 4: Proposed Community Boards Geographies The purpose of this paper is to set out an overview of the key issues considered in developing a revised map and boundaries of community boards in response to consultation feedback. The detail of the proposed map and boundaries can be seen in the accompanying appendices to the Shadow Executive report – Appendices 5 & 6. This report should be read in conjunction to those reports. Consultation proposal A key part of the formal consultation was seeking views on all options for the number of community boards, from 0 to 19 plus. Prior to the formal consultation engagement workshops took place with town and parish councils in June 2019. A key discussion topic at those meetings was the possible geographies which informed the consultation proposals. A preferred option of 14 community boards was identified as the option for consultation, with other potential options and maps published of 11, 12, 14 and 19 community board areas. The map of 14 community boards was developed with town and parish council boundaries as the basic building block. Appendix 1 sets out the results and feedback from the consultation including the overall number of community boards and their geographies. Proposed Consultation Response As a result of the consultation feedback, it is recommended that 16 rather than 14 community boards are set-up with revised boundaries. The key feedback taken into account in suggesting these revised boundaries are: Taking into account community views from residents, local groups and the respective town and parish councils. Minimising the differences between the boundaries of the Primary Care Networks and the community boards where this makes sense to do so.

Of these businesses, 33 (40.2 per cent) are Buckinghamshire Business First members. There were 3,438 employed people aged 16-74 living in Ash ridge Vale & Lowndes ward at the 2011 Census, 256 more than the 3,182 recorded in 2001. Over that period the working age population rose 195 to 2,996 while the total population rose 351 to 4,850. The number of households rose by 207 (12.1 per cent) to 1,919. This is the highest percentage increase out of all wards in Chiltern. Based on the increase in number of households, the ward ranks 16th out of all wards in Buckinghamshire.

The Connected Counties project, run by BBF, will deliver nothing to this particular ward due to the high proportion of fibre availability through commercial providers.

Background 1.1 Wycombe District Council is currently progressing work on preparing a new planning framework, including a new Local Plan for the District. This work comprises a range of studies to explore options for accommodating new development requirements. 1.2 As part of the Council’s technical work which has already taken place, particularly as part of the Local Plan Options Consultation in 2014, it has already become clear that the requirements for new development are likely to be considerably higher than previous targets. Consequently the Council is likely to be faced with significantly greater challenges in terms of finding options to meet these needs. 1.3 To put this into context, the Council’s Adopted Core Strategy was based on a housing target of 402.5 new homes per annum, a quantum which was capable of being delivered predominantly through brownfield development and the limited pool of greenfield reserve sites in the south of the District. The early indication of significantly higher growth levels in the District means, however, that for the first time in many years, there is the prospect of a significant level of greenfield development being required to be explored in the Local Plan, to help meet the District’s development requirements.
  • Penn Village Around Holy Trinity Church

    Penn Village Around Holy Trinity Church

    Penn village around Holy Trinity Church 1. Holy Trinity Church, Penn Oldest building in the Conservation Area Set in an acre of churchyard, Holy Trinity has a late 12th century nave, built in flint with clunch and tiles incorporated. The font, consecration crosses and stone tomb are also 12th century. The south aisle and low tower are early 14th century and the clerestory and the queen-post roof are c.1400. Visitors to the Church should note the rare “Penn Doom” – one of only five surviving wooden tympanums in the country. It is a 12 foot wide painting of the” Last Judgement” on oak panels and hangs above the chancel arch. It was added in the 15th century when Penn Church was owned by Chalcombe Priory in Northamptonshire. In the Lady Chapel there is a reminder of the importance of the local medieval tiling industry where an arrangement of 14th century Penn floor tiles may be seen, as well as a collection of Tudor and Stuart brasses of the Penn family. Wall monuments mainly dedicated to the 18th and early 19th century Curzons and Howes are also on display. Penn tiles medieval doom Six grandchildren of William Penn, the Quaker and founder of Pennsylvania are buried in a family vault under the centre of the nave. Heraldic shields on the roof corbels show eight centuries of English history. The Church has had its share of colourful vicars. During the 14th century the vicar was murdered with an axe. In 1539, at the time of the Reformation, the vicar of Penn was jailed at Aylesbury by his churchwardens for “uttering certain opprobrious words”.
