Bartholomew tipping
I started attending Bartholomew tipping, or B.T. in Stokenchurch, at 11 in September 1967 and left at 16 in July 1972. Mostly great teachers and a good school. Closed by idiots. Especially fond memories of teachers Mr. Parker (Plod), Hazel Groom later Szwierchynski (sorry if miss-spelt) and Audry Tattersall. I'd love to swap memories.

My family of Anderson in Stokenchurch
I would like to remember all the members of the Anderson families in Stokenchurch. My mother was Bertha May Anderson, daughter of Abel and May Anderson. Abel's brother Harry had a chair factory in Stokenchurch called Harry Anderson and Son Ltd. This has now been demolished and in its place is an housing estate. My Anderson family originally came to Stokenchurch from Ashendon and Winchendon, Bucks. Other families connected to the Anderson Families are Saunders, Lacey, Poole, Messenger and many more. Please get in touch if you are also interested in the families of Stokenchurch. We could be related!!

Extracts From Stokenchurch & Buckinghamshire books
The telegraph wires
have long gone to be
succeeded by other
media, and although most
of the houses in this
view remain, the place is
virtually unrecognisable
and the traffic scanty: this
is the main A40 London
to Oxford road.
An extract from from"Buckinghamshire Photographic Memories".
Looking across Bowling Green to the south side of Oxford Road, these
houses are mainly early and later 19th century. The modest petrol
station has now expanded and the houses on each side of the Esso
sign have now gone.
An extract from from"Buckinghamshire Photographic Memories".
From the arches of the Georgian Guildhall the
camera looks down White Hart Street. The
buildings on the right replace medieval market
place encroachment. On the left the open area was
until 1947 occupied by fine 16th- and 17th-century
timber-framed buildings, unforgivably demolished
for an aborted road improvement scheme.
An extract from from"High Wycombe - A History & Celebration".
The ancient open space of Frogmoor had from 1877 until the Second World War a fine cast-iron fountain and
well trimmed trees. Note the four gables of the old Hen and Chickens on the left (rebuilt in 1888).
An extract from from"High Wycombe - A History & Celebration".
IN 1801, according to the first national
census, the borough had a population of
2,349 consisting of 565 families living in
448 houses, while the rest of the town, the
ancient ‘foreigns’, had a further 1,899 people,
397 families living in 370 houses.
