  • 1 Buckinghamshire; a Military History by Ian F. W. Beckett
    Buckinghamshire; A Military History by Ian F. W. Beckett 1 Chapter One: Origins to 1603 Although it is generally accepted that a truly national system of defence originated in England with the first militia statutes of 1558, there are continuities with earlier defence arrangements. One Edwardian historian claimed that the origins of the militia lay in the forces gathered by Cassivelaunus to oppose Caesar’s second landing in Britain in 54 BC. 1 This stretches credulity but military obligations or, more correctly, common burdens imposed on able bodied freemen do date from the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of the seventh and eight centuries. The supposedly resulting fyrd - simply the old English word for army - was not a genuine ‘nation in arms’ in the way suggested by Victorian historians but much more of a selective force of nobles and followers serving on a rotating basis. 2 The celebrated Burghal Hidage dating from the reign of Edward the Elder sometime after 914 AD but generally believed to reflect arrangements put in place by Alfred the Great does suggest significant ability to raise manpower at least among the West Saxons for the garrisoning of 30 fortified burghs on the basis of men levied from the acreage apportioned to each burgh. 3 In theory, it is possible that one in every four of all able-bodied men were liable for such garrison service. 4 Equally, while most surviving documentation dates only from 1 G. J. Hay, An Epitomised History of the Militia: The Military Lifebuoy, 54 BC to AD 1905 (London: United Services Gazette, 1905), 10.

  • The Evangelical Tradition in Olney in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries
    The Evangelical Tradition in Olney in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries Joan McKillop, former Custodian, The Cowper and Newton Museum Nonconformist beginnings East Anglia and the East Midlands took to the Reformation and the new ideas of religion very easily; perhaps their proximity to the printing presses of The Hague and the rest of Northern Europe was a contributing factor. By the beginning of the seventeenth century the Puritan faction was well established in the area. Unease with the established church of Charles I and his Archbishop Laud expressed itself quite early in the king’s reign. In 1635 some Olney families emigrated to New England in search of religious freedom; they left in April on board the Hopewell of London, arriving in Boston in June. From Olney itself went John Cooper, Edmund ffarington, William Parryer and their families and from the neighbouring villages of Lavendon and Sherington, George Griggs and his family and two brothers, Philip Kyrtland aged 21 and Nathaniel Kyrtland 19. The oldest emigrant was 49 and the youngest 18 months. Another early migrant to America was the Vicar of Olney, William Worcester, who left in 1639. He was a Puritan and was disenchanted with Archbishop Laud and the way the Church of England was becoming increasingly High Church. He became the first minister of Salisbury, Massachusetts, remaining in that post until his death in 1662. Many families in the neighbourhood are of Huguenot descent and one of the reasons that they settled there was because of its Puritan sympathies. They migrated in three main waves between 1572 and 1685.

As it is the province of the Society to collect notices of local customs and privileges tending to throw light upon the history of our county, I shall offer no excuse for drawing attention to the Rhyne Toll of Chetwode, an ancient and singular right exercised by Sir John Chet- wode, Bart., and his ancestors. The Rhyne commences at nine o'clock in the morning of the 30th of October, when a horn is blown on the Church-hill at Buckingham, and gingerbread and beer distributed among the assembled boys. The girls present are not admitted to a share in the bounty, but no reason has been assigned for this par- tiality save that of immemorial custom. When a suffi- cient quantity of these viands has been disposed of, the bearer of the cakes and ale proceeds through the village of Tingewick to the extreme boundary of the county towards Oxfordshire, in front of the Red Lion Inn near Finmere, three miles distant, where the horn is again sounded, and a fresh distribution of provisions takes place, also limited to the boys. At the conclusion of these formalities, the Rhyne is proclaimed to have begun. One toll-collector is stationed in the town of Buckingham, and another in the hamlet of Gawcott, a mile and a half dis- tant, each empowered to levy a tax, at the rate of two shillings a score, upon all cattle or swine, driven through the townships or hamlets of Barton, Chetwode, Tingewick, Gawcott, Hillesden, the Precint of Prebend End in Buckingham, Lenborough, and Preston-cum-Cowley, until twelve o'clock at night on the 7th day of November, when the Rhyne closes.
