Forward, BA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2007 To my Grandparents Abstract The recent work of D. H. Green and others on the benefits of combining linguistic, archaeological and historical evidence has highlighted the importance of cross-disciplinary collaboration to early medieval studies. In this context, the Whittlewood Project (WP) lays important foundations for future projects, both in the UK and elsewhere, which seek to understand local settings in greater depth that any single discipline could permit. The WP is a multi-disciplinary project, encompassing not only the research and analysis in this thesis but also the surveys and findings conducted by Dr Richard Jones (archaeologist) and Dr Mark Page (historian), amongst other scholars. The Project focuses on twelve parishes which straddle the county boundary between Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire. The general aim is to build a picture of its medieval setting, with particular interest in the chronology of medieval settlement formation and subsequent changes in the way that communities responded to and utilised the landscape. Chapter 2 presents a catalogue of Whittlewood place-name material, of which all names recorded before 1600 are analysed. The major place-names of Whittlewood and the surrounding area are investigated in Chapter 3. The band of parishes around Whittlewood adds context to the work solely on Whittlewood parishes; patterns may be further exploited. Chapter 4 draws from the minor names in this catalogue, weaving together the findings from the archaeological and historical surveys with those of place-names. This thesis provides a framework that can be used to aid future onomastic research projects with a cross-disciplinary focus. Acknowledgements I should like to thank my supervisor, Dr David Parsons, for his academic guidance. I am grateful to the School of English Studies and the Institute for Name-Studies for the Cameron Memorial Studentship. Many thanks to Dr Paul Cullen, for indulging my endless questions on obscure minor names and for support in the form of real ales. Thanks also to Dr Eleanor Quinton, Dr John Baker and Dr Jayne Carroll for their words of wisdom, both in and out of academia, and to Helen Whitfield for always being there when I needed a chat. I would like to thank Professor Chris Dyer, Dr Richard Jones and Dr Mark Page for aiding my understanding of archaeology and history, and inviting me to partake in a summer of archaeological excavation. I am also grateful to them for taking the time to read and comment on earlier drafts of relevant chapters. Thank you to my examiners, Professor Richard Coates and Dr Malcolm Jones, for managing to read the whole thing so thoroughly and for a surprisingly enjoyable viva. Thank you also to Professor Thorlac Turville-Petre for acting as viva chair. Love and thanks go to: Friends who supported me and made me smile – Harvy, Laura and Kate deserve special mention. The football girls from Absolute – for occupying my brain with something other than place-names for at least two hours a week. DJ friends at myhouse-yourhouse radio – for the eclectic tunes that kept me sane on many a late night at work. Long live vinyl. Val – my brick. Words cannot describe just how much you’ve helped me; I now feel armed with the ability to view life’s pitfalls with a smile. My mum – for always being at the end of the phone with soothing words in turbulent times. Thanks also to my sister for her delicate questioning and to my dad for giving me space. Vicky – for believing in me, for the hugs, the smiles, and the cups of tea. I would not have got through this without your love and support.

This context appraisal, based on fieldwork and a study of the existing literature, expands on the particular features of the towns of Northampton, Daventry and Towcester and a number of surrounding villages. The section begins with an analysis of West Northamptonshire at the national and regional levels. It covers the geographical, historic, socio-economic and spatial features that shaped its development and led to the current conditions. This is followed by a review of each town, examining the typology of movement; the historic development; and the streetscape, townscape and architecture of the various areas within each town. Together these elements embody the local distinctiveness of Northampton, Daventry and Towcester and their surrounding villages. The information contained in this section is not only applicable to development within the WNDC’s boundary but can also be drawn upon in the consideration of new development within the

  • Aylesbury Vale North Locality Profile
    Aylesbury Vale North Locality Profile Prevention Matters Priorities The Community Links Officer (CLO) has identified a number of key Prevention Matters priorities for the locality that will form the focus of the work over the next few months. These priorities also help to determine the sort of services and projects where Prevention Matters grants can be targeted. The priorities have been identified using the data provided by the Community Practice Workers (CPW) in terms of successful referrals and unmet demand (gaps where there are no appropriate services available), consultation with district council officers, town and parish councils, other statutory and voluntary sector organisations and also through the in depth knowledge of the cohort and the locality that the CLO has gained. The CLO has also worked with the other CLOs across the county to identify some key countywide priorities which affect all localities. Countywide Priorities Befriending Community Transport Aylesbury Vale North Priorities Affordable Day Activities Gentle Exercise Low Cost Gardening Services Dementia Services Social Gardening Men in Sheds Outreach for Carers Background data Physical Area The Aylesbury Vale North locality (AV North) is just less than 200 square miles in terms of land area (500 square kilometres). It is a very rural locality in the north of Buckinghamshire. There are officially 63 civil parishes covering the area (approximately a third of the parishes in Bucks). There are 2 small market towns, Buckingham and Winslow, and approximately 70 villages or hamlets (as some of the parishes cover more than one village). Population The total population of the Aylesbury Vale North locality (AV North) is 49,974 based on the populations of the 63 civil parishes from the 2011 Census statistics.

  • Neolithic to Early Bronze Age Buckinghamshire: a Resource Assessment
    Neolithic to Early Bronze Age Buckinghamshire: a resource assessment Inheritance Mobility Although Neolithic populations are thought to have had continued mobility, more and more evidence for Neolithic settlement has come to light. In Buckinghamshire the most important evidence comes from excavations in advance of the construction of Eton Rowing Course (ERC) and the Maidenhead to Windsor and Eton Flood Alleviation Scheme (MWEFAS), mainly in the parish of Dorney in South Bucks on the Thames. The evidence points to intensive use of the area by people in the Early Neolithic but it is not certain that it represents year-round sedentary occupation rather than seasonal re-use (Allen et al 2004). Other evidence does point to continued mobility, such as the artefact scatters at Scotsgrove Mill, Haddenham (Mitchell 2004) and East Street, Chesham (Collard 1990) for example, reflecting visits over a long period of time. Persistent places Mesolithic persistent places continue to have meaning for Early and later Neolithic populations. These persistent places include East Street, Chesham (Collard 1990, 18) and Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age activity at Chessvale Bowling Club nearby (Halsted 2006, 23-8). Another persistent place seems to have been the lower reaches of the River Colne. Recent excavations at the Sanderson Site, Denham (Halsey 2005) continued the activity from nearby Three Ways Wharf, Uxbridge (Lewis 1991). Other persistent places include the attractive river valley location at Bancroft in Milton Keynes (Williams 1993, 5), and Scotsgrove Mill, Haddenham, where the River Thame meets one of its tributaries (Mitchell 2004, 1). These persistent places may have been the basis of evolving ideas about land tenure.
