As far as I am aware, no one in the villages has had any issues with their property flooding and given that it has been the wettest February on record (202.1mm) that says a lot for the flood prevention measures that have been maintained since the floods here in 2007. We are now facing some uncertain times with the Coronavirus and as we go to print today, we have no idea of the impact on us here. A Tidmarsh & Sulham WhatsApp Support Group has been set up in order that we coordinate support for our more elderly residents and ensure they are not isolated and can ask for assistance with shopping etc. Please feel free to call either myself or Karen (our numbers are at the bottom of this article), if you want to be included. It was good to catch up with a number of people at the village coffee morning at the start of March – here are a few of us pictured enjoying a nice cup of coffee. In this issue, we have a lovely article contributed by Jean Harland with the history of The Greyhound, our much-loved village pub. Having lived her whole life in Sulham and Tidmarsh, Jean is well placed to recount her own memories too and I am sure you will find it a very interesting read. Stuart (the pub licensee) tells me The Greyhound are hosting a Quiz Night (re-scheduled from the 8th March) in April so look out for more information on their website, Facebook page and the blackboards outside the pub. 3 Tidmarsh Spring Magazine 2020_Layout 1 07/04/2020 09:49 Page 4 EDITORIAL We are always grateful for the support of our advertisers and so if you have a good experience, then please drop me a few lines so others can benefit. Very good friends of mine recently had their wills prepared by Joanne of Hill Hampton Wills and were thorough impressed by her professional, thorough, value for money service. So, if you have been meaning to get around to sorting this most important task, act now and give Joanne a call – she lives in Sulham so you are also supporting a local business. See her advertisement on Page 20. We were most impressed with the young chap who installed our CCTV cameras. These systems have really moved on and we can watch over our property from our mobile phones anywhere in the world and see very clearly what is going on day and night giving us huge peace of mind. If you are thinking about CCTV – I can recommend Phillip at iNight Security – his phone number is 07702 868155. Karen and I regularly get together to discuss ideas for the magazine and in January we opted to meet at @baxters café-kitchen as I promised a review in the last issue. At the time of our visit they were suffering at the hands of Thames Water and had been waiting over two months for their water supply to be sorted and the whole of the front area was still a mess (this has now been sorted and will be furnished with tables and chairs when the weather improves). On the day of our visit, neither of us was hungry and we could only manage coffee (me) and tea (Karen) and some pastries which I have to say were delicious and gluten free. All has gone quiet on the Gigaclear front . We have now had ours installed coming up to one year and have been very pleased with the service although we have yet to encounter any problems so their customer service goes un-tested with us. If you would like to let us know your experience (good or bad) – it would be good to hear from you. Any review can be anonymous if preferred. Finally, my latest find is a lovely lady who produces hand finished cards (a mixture of humorous designs and local water colours of local landmarks) called Valerie Burton. They are reasonably priced and she sells them at the W1 market on Friday mornings at Pangbourne Village Hall. If you are bored of what W H Smith etc have to offer – you will find something original and a bit different here.

The idea is for neighbourhoods to hold a sit-down meal to get to know one another. Everyone brings their own cutlery, plates, glasses and drinks, a simple but delicious lunch is then shared by friends and neighbours sitting together at long tables. If you would like to attend please see the advert for contact details and reserve soon as places are strictly limited to 60. As in previous years, any money left over after expenses will be used to support our two village churches.

  • 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.

  • Parts of the Parish the Parish of Purley Is Comprised of a Number of Areas Each with Their Own Particular Character
    Account of Purley on Thames The Geography of Purley R200243 16/7/2017 General Description The Parish of Purley on Thames is situated approximately four miles west of Reading on the south side of the River Thames, in Berkshire. The ancient parish was 874 acres. This was increased to 1663 acres in 1891 by the addition of those parts of Whitchurch lying to the south of the Thames. In 1934 this was reduced to 1154 acres by the transfer of land between Purley and Sulham. There were approximately 3 acres of water in these totals. It is bounded by the Borough of Reading to the east, by Tilehurst and Sulham parishes to the south, by Pangbourne to the west and by Whitchurch and Mapledurham parishes across the Thames to the north. The Parish has two distinctive geographical parts. Alongside the river the land is flat and forms part of the Thames flood plain with gravelly subsoil. The floodplain rises gradually as it goes west and around to the Pang valley. The land rises sharply to the south up the north slope of the chalk hill which separates the Thames and Kennet valleys. The rise is sharpest in the east of the parish and begins at the banks of the Thames at the extreme east end. Here the Thames runs on the south side of its plain and it swings away to the north in a wide arc reaching the northern extreme of its plain from Mapledurham to Whitchurch. The slope is much more gentle to the west of the parish where it rises to a plateau which eventually ends on the escarpment above Nunhide.
