  • 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.

  • BRITISH BRICK SOCIETY Summer Meeting Saturday 25 July 2015 the FRINGES of MILTON KEYNES BRICKWORKS, RAILWAY STATIONS, CHURCHES Buildings Notes
    BRITISH BRICK SOCIETY Summer Meeting Saturday 25 July 2015 THE FRINGES OF MILTON KEYNES BRICKWORKS, RAILWAY STATIONS, CHURCHES Buildings Notes INTRODUCTION Timgad in a green field: the City of Milton Keynes is an artificial creation, no less than the Roman city on the edge of the desert in Algeria. Some of us remember the land between the M1 to the east and Watling Street (or the West Coast main railway line) to the west as green fields bisected by pleasant country roads and having isolated villages within them. The writer did the journey from Luton to Northampton very frequently in the late 1960s and the first seven years of the 1970s. Along the fringes of the new city the village centres and their eighteenth-century churches remain: Fenny Stratford, Bow Brickhill (not taken in by the new city), Willen, Great Linford. These notes will concentrate on these villages but will also record buildings in two of the old market towns ― Bletchley and Stony Stratford ― now subsumed within the new metropolis. The notes concentrate on three aspects of brick activity: brickworks and their surviving structure, railways and the buildings erected for them, and a group of churches, rebuilt in brick in the early eighteenth century. BRICKWORKS Beside the railway line from Oxford to Cambridge were many brickyards; this is particularly so in the Buckinghamshire section from north of Marsh Gibbon to Woburn Sands. The yards producing the self-combusting Flettons in the late nineteenth century and through to the end of the twentieth century are well-known. But the brickmaking industry around the fringes of Milton Keynes is much older than the last decades of the nineteenth century.
