  • 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. It is Domesday Book,1 was right in saying that it almost, one might say, a Holy Grail, and sub• is in fact central to many of the great questions ject to many interpretations designed to fit this of early English history. He was echoed by or that theory about Anglo-Saxon society, its Baring a few years later, who wrote, 'the hide is origins and structures. grown somewhat tiresome, but we cannot well neglect it, for on no other Saxon institution In view of the large number of scholars who have we so many details, if we can but decipher have contributed to the subject, further discus• 2 them'.

  • 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.

This is an area of great natural beauty which attracts visitors and walkers from the surrounding areas. The churches have, in many ways, drawn closer together during the period of lockdown. The Associate Minister and a lay leader have led a weekly service of compline as well as signposting to other online services. The many who participated from across the benefice have begun to get to know each other better – a positive sign for the future of the benefice. The PCCs have engaged positively with deanery and diocesan advisers during the vacancy and have been open to exploring a more sustainable model of ministry for the future of the benefice. As you will see from the profile, they have identified a number of significant strengths, including their relationship with local schools and the level of support for the churches from within the village communities.

  • 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.

He has decided to dismiss the appeal and refuse planning permission. DELEGATED DECISION - 20 NOVEMBER 2018 INTRODUCTION OF 20MPH SPEED RESTRICTIONS INTO NEW AND EXISTING RESIDENTIAL ESTATES. The Council Plan 2016 – 2020 sets out how Milton Keynes Council will work to achieve its ambitions for Milton Keynes and includes a Transport commitment to introduce 20mph speed limits into new estates and to support any community that requests a 20mph speed limit. Unitary Councillors Report December 2018 Snippets • Levante Gate – spoken with officers and no further contact from Guinness so I suggest this issue has been put on the back burner. • Blocked Gullies – residents in Bow Brickhill are naturally concerned by the fact that the guillies still appear blocked causing pooling and pedestrians risking getting soaked by passing vehicles. Carl Devereaux writes; The Gullies and Side entry kerb weirs where cleared as part of the whole of Bow Brickhill as requested by the Local Council September 2018 At the time it was requested to have Serco in to clear the excessive silt in the kerb lines in this location and the rest of the village.
