March 1st, 2:30pm - A Talk by Julian Hunt Ridge and Furrow in Buckinghamshire The landscape of North Buckinghamshire is full of ridge and furrow, the remains of common arable fields where each strip was cultivated by a different farmer according to strict rules of crop rotation. The feature is less well preserved in South Bucks, but Julian will show that the three field system was used in the Chilterns and the Thames Valley and will attempt to prove when it was introduced into England.

To Pay £3 To Pay £5 To Pay £7 Reminiscence@home Reminiscence at Home is a project to reach out to people in their homes and help them record their life story. Everyone has a story to tell and over 18 months we have had the privilege to help local people record theirs.  We went out to community groups to tell them about the project as well as advertising in local publications and local associations. Trained volunteers visited people in their homes over several sessions and wrote up the life story. Once this was finalised, a printed copy was made for the person to keep, and if they agreed the museum kept a copy as well. If you know someone who would like to tell their story, please get in touch. Click on this link or the image below to read their stories.
