Longford had an early Quaker Meeting House & burial ground, the cottage still exists. The proximity of the county boundary being an important factor when being persecuted by the Middlesex Justices #OnePlaceWednesday

Give some love to Longford #One-PlaceStudy as important work is being done recording the history of the hamlet before it is demolished by Heathrow’s unnecessary third runway and corporate greed.

Lady Julia Inglefield’s work was reported in S Bucks newspapers as she attempted to get employers to take on male workers. The Belgians were living in poverty while in UK. She also attempted to divorce her husband.

The errors in the London parishes are can be seen before the Ancestry executives land at Heathrow. The adjacent parish of Stanwell is not in the Borough of Richmond. While Harmondsworth, the parish the aircraft touches down, has one film in reverse order. Problems before their luggage is found!

I did not order any Wills for Colnbrook #OnePlaceStudy There are other sources like Lloyd George Finance Act, Land Tax, Tithes, & Water Rates can give ownership information.

Machine learning using one’s own data, like astronomy is acceptable as it is their own data. This research is also being compromised by Starlink’s hundreds of satellites circling the Earth 🌍

Artificial Intelligence using the Large Language Model is a whole industry based on theft. Which is one of the reasons I do not modernise the spelling used in transcribed Wills & Deeds for Colnbrook #OnePlaceStudy

The same can be said about Coleshill Hertfordshire between Amersham and Beaconsfield. A place of refuge from the Buckinghamshire Justices of the Peace.

This was at the time of religious persecution and Catholic threats against Elizabeth I. I wonder if this baptism was a confirmation that Samson was a member of the community in Buckingham and declared this publicly.

This #OnePlaceWednesday I’m working to finish the Banns transcription of Iver the parish next to #Colnbrook-OPS. The study contains one significant Inn & farm in that parish. In the meantime here is a view of Market Square Aylesbury while waiting for @BucksArchives to open #OnePlaceStudies

With a 1st edition Pevsner you know when he didn’t like something. Aylesbury market clock was described as “insipid gothic with a spire”.

I’m also concerned that the current government has run out of ideas, and land tax could happen. Although our predecessors doing #OnePlaceStudies in 100 years time would thank them.

Anybody seeing the word Domesday should be reminded that any survey like this is usually followed by confiscation or taxation. Henry VIII had a Military Survey in 1522. The result was Certificate of Musters for the ordinary folk. Colnbrook #OnePlaceStudy has its own entry.
