My dad used to have a stall in the Market Hall in Wolverton selling groceries. I remember going with him in the van on Fridays and on the way back we would call into to visit old family friends who lived in Cosgrove ' the slaymakers'. Not sure exactly where they lived but seem to think it was on a corner... [more]

Where the name Heelands orginated
I was told a tale by Mrs Lester of Bradwell Village that one day the lord of Bradwell Manor had visitors from Scotland staying, and early one morning as they looked out of their bedroom window and looked across the fields towards Heelands they remarked how much the scenery reminded them of home and the Hi'glands, and this is how the...

I had heard of The Great Linford and can trace genealogy back to the one subjects that lived on the Great Linford although it is not named after any of my ancestors.
In 2000, I had the opportunity to vist London and rented a car and drove out to Milton Keynes and the Great Linford just to see what it... [more]

The lad leaning on the wall was John Cook, whose father was a policeman in NP, the guy to the left in the dark suite is me and the lad sitting on the pillar (to the right) was David Ashworth son of Major Ashworth who lived in Silver Street.

I don't claim to know Nash all that well, but I can't believe that not one person has written anything about about such a lovely village, with what I remember, it was full of friendly and very kind people - well, I would say that! Most of them were my in-laws (many years ago). As you can see my married name... [more]

I was first on Nash page, now first on Whaddon page, and I'm from Bletchley! Well, I moved to Whaddon in Feb 1974 with David Hogg (originally from Nash)and we lived in Stock Lane, a tied cottage, and Dave worked for Mr Bullock at his farm further up the village. The day we moved in it was snowing, and that little... [more]

I can never pass through Maids Moreton without recalling my first day at work as an apprentice electrician for The East Midlands Electricity Board, Buckingham. It was April 14th 1958 and I was assigned to Mr Jack Holland, electrician, and we were sent to install a lighting point in a rear toilet for 'Mrs Holmes, The Old Bakehouse, Main Street', and...

I can't see what all the fuss is about, about having an 'inland seaside', its a bit 'old hat'! US LOCALS had a real one, well over 50 years ago, it was great, wherever you dug there was almost pure white sand, where was it? BEACON LAKE, we used to swim or just walk across to a lovely clean 'beach'. You... [more]

Amersham, Chesham And Rickmansworth Photographic Memories
This view, also taken from an upstairs window of the Griffin, looks into Broadway, much changed in the 1930s and 1940s. Until 1939 the buildings on the right faced Church Alley and the backs of ranges of cottages a few feet away, demolished in that year. Originally medieval and Tudor encroachments onto the old market place, these cottages hid the east view of the 1682 Market House. To the right, further cottages went in 1949 to... [more]

Amersham, Chesham And Rickmansworth Photographic Memories
Looking beyond the medieval parish church the building on the hill behind is the Georgian rectory built in the 1730s by the Rev Benjamin Robertshaw, overlooking the town and away from its bustle and smells. Very much the rectory of a prosperous country gentleman and clearly not that of a worker priest! The church has many fine monuments, mostly to the Drake family of Shardeloes, while to its right are the former Weller's Brewery buildings, now... [more]

Amersham, Chesham And Rickmansworth Photographic Memories
Looking west past the Memorial Gardens, the white building on the far hill, just to the left of the church tower, is Shardeloes, the Georgian mansion of the lords of the manor. Designed in the 1760s by the splendidly-named architect Stiff Leadbetter for William Drake, it replaced a 1630s house and was completed and decorated by Robert Adam. The Georgian stables and service buildings, designed by Francis Smith of Warwick and added to the... [more]
