  • R200165-H0022-Mediaeval Courts
    Account of Purley on Thames Mediaeval Courts R200165 15/1/2018 Introduction It was the Courts which administered England until the development of local authorities in the nineteenth century. They essentially made judgements on rights and obligations and settled disputes which previously had been settled by force of arms. After the retreat of Roman administration in the fifth century force of arms was about the only means of control, if you were strong, your word was law was the dictum. The result was several centuries of warfare and contest for power and it was only at the lowest level that matters could be decided by other means. In early Saxon times village affairs were dealt with at a village meeting known as a witangemoot. This was called whenever there were matters to decide, for example to elect a village chief, to settle a dispute or to commence a common venture such as harvest. They started out as meetings at which all had an equal say but as time went by the need for the development of specialist skills and for strong guidance resulted in the development of the social order which we would nowadays recognise as essentially feudal. As Christianity spread, a quite different approach to land ownership emerged. It was argued that as God created Heaven and Earth, it was all in his ownership, but it could he 'held' in His name. At the same time the concept of Kingship emerged and it was the King who held all land in his realm and who could allow his underlings in the social order to hold it from him and enjoy the benefits and privileges that landholding conveyed.

  • Parish Magazine
    Tidmarsh with Sulham Parish Magazine Winter 2015 Parish Magazine Winter 2015 1 2 Winter 2015 Tidmarsh with Sulham Editorial Firstly, apologies for the late arrival of this issue. We have been desperately looking for someone to take over the editing of the magazine and to help with dealing with the advertisers, sending invoices etc., I am still hopeful that someone will contact me and offer some help. If only I was retired, I would be more than happy to do it all but for the foreseeable future I feel I just have too much on. If you feel you could contribute just a couple of hours a month, I would love to hear from you – it could make all the difference to the future of the magazine. My contact details are below. I was delighted to see that West Berkshire Council have finally managed to tidy up the overgrown bushes and spreading vegetation along the footpaths on the Tidmarsh Road thus enabling pedestrians to walk more safely. I only hope they will also do this at the height of summer when it is virtually impossible to walk along the footpath without going onto the road to avoid overhanging bushes. The arrival of Costa Coffee in Pangbourne has been an interesting subject for discussion. There are those who feel we do not need a coffee shop ‘chain’ as it will take business from the independent cafes and those who are of the opinion that Costa will draw people into Pangbourne and they will shop in the local businesses. Certainly I have it on good authority from my man on the ground (John in the Co-op car park!) that since its opening on Christmas Eve, more people are coming into Pangbourne so I guess that can only be a good thing.
