  • The Hidation of Buckinghamshire. Keith Bailey
    THE HIDA TION OF BUCKINGHAMSHIRE KEITH BAILEY In a pioneering paper Mr Bailey here subjects the Domesday data on the hidation of Buckinghamshire to a searching statistical analysis, using techniques never before applied to this county. His aim is not explain the hide, but to lay a foundation on which an explanation may be built; to isolate what is truly exceptional and therefore calls for further study. Although he disclaims any intention of going beyond analysis, his paper will surely advance our understanding of a very important feature of early English society. Part 1: Domesday Book 'What was the hide?' F. W. Maitland, in posing purposes for which it may be asked shows just 'this dreary old question' in his seminal study of how difficult it is to reach a consensus.

This delay has been caused mainly by the discovery, during the preparation of the work, that many of the documents which go to make up a Sessions Roll had become misplaced. It was thus necessary to examine and arrange all the rolls for a period long after the date when this calendar was likely to end, in order to ensure that all records covering the period would be brought together and noted in the calendar.

  • The Development of the Borough of Buckingham, 914-1086. a H J Baines
    THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE BOROUGH OF BUCKINGHAM, 914-1086 A. H. J. BAINES In 914 Buckingham was fortified and garrisoned to control the Roman road system serving Northampton, Bedford and the Ouse valley. Buckinghamshire originated as the area which was needed to provide military and financial support to this stronghold, to which a hundredal market was transferred. After the pacification of 942, Buckingham lost its military significance but remained a royal borough and developed into a town (« market and service centre, with a mint) having an 'urban field' much smaller than the county, extending not more than twelve miles from the town. Links between its burgesses and neighbouring rural manors are inferred from the Domesday survey. Buckingham was assisted by exceptional fiscal concessions, and two of its reeves, ALthelmoer and Aithelwig, enjoyed strong royal support, but the records, including the coinage, illustrate the difficulty with which its special position as the 'county borough' was maintained. The construction of the fortress of depended on possession of the Water Stratford Buckingham by Edward the Elder in November crossing and the use of the Alchester road (160 914 and the definition of the area contributing A) and Akeman Street. These roads were still to its support can rightly be regarded as the significant, as the only surviving metalled establishment of the borough and shire,1 highways. though at this period burh meant 'stronghold' rather than 'borough', and the term scir was In the late sixth century the Buccingas, folk not applied to the contributory area until a led by Bucc or Bucca, probably approached the 2 century later.

  • The Church in Anglo-Saxon Buckinghamshire C650-C1100
    THE CHURCH IN ANGLO-SAXON BUCKINGHAMSHIRE c.650-c.1100 KEITH BAILEY This paper discusses the scanty evidence for the history of the church in Buckinghamshire between the start ofthe conversion period around the middle ofthe seventh century to the onset of Norman rule after 1066. A handful of charters, some architecture and archaeological dis­ coveries, and some saints' lives constitute the available material, most of which has been sub­ ject to earlier, piecemeal investigation. Taken together, however, the evidence is capable of yielding a more detailed story than has sometimes been assumed. In particular, the network of minster churches is examined. The beginnings of the creation of local, later parish, churches are also discussed. I these respects, notably through the pages of Bede's In terms of its effect on the history of society, and Ecclesiastical History, completed in 731.

  • THE Importance of Bibliography in an Advanced State of Literature Is Unquestionable. to Avail Ourselves Properly of the Labours
    83 THE BIBLIOGRAPHY OF GENEALOGY AND TOPOGRAPHY. THE importance of Bibliography in an advanced state of literature is unquestionable. To avail ourselves properly of the labours of our pre• decessors, and to avoid the useless triRing of perpetual beginnings, it is necessary to ascertain in what state they have left their work. Some portion of the present Miscellany will be devoted to that object. Imperfect as the Topography of England is, as a whole, still the mul• titude of books belonging to. this class is amazing: and their number has been much swelled since any systematic catalogue was published of it. Hereafter we shall proceed to notice them in counties. We shall now take a retrospect of what the past twelvemonth has produced, The more important original articles which have appeared during the year in the Archeeologia and the Gentleman's Magazine are noticed. Those in the 8th volume of the Collcctanea Topographica et Genealogica ate not introduced; but a Synoptical Table of the whole Contents of that work has been appended to the last Number. GENEALOGY.
