Editors Letter

Welcome to the June issue of Princes Risborough View magazine.We mentioned last month that this was a very busy time for Princes Risborough and this is certainly true. This issue may just arrive in time to remind you all of the brand new family music event. Rizfest is on June 2nd and we do hope it is a great success.

This month we are helping to promote the Horticultural Show which is taking place during Festival week. A schedule of events has been distributed separately and our recipe page has all the details you need to make the finest Victoria Sponge or Crusty-Top Lemon Cakes. The society work extremely hard to put this event together and it would be lovely to have many more people get involved this year.

Are you proud of your home grown fruit and vegetables that you would like to show off or perhaps you are a fabulous baker and are fed up hiding your talents? Then why not have a go and enter one of the classes, its great fun and there is something for everyone and for any age.

This is the month of the Queens Diamond Jubilee and we thought we would show a couple of previous town celebrations for Royal occasions, on our front cover. The maypole dance was for the 1937 Coronation of King George VI and the other picture shows celebrations of 25 years of King George Vs reign. Both events took place in the market square. This June 4th, sees the Teddy Bears Jubilee Street party with lots of fun and celebrations in the High Street. (Please see details in the community pages). Many thanks to The Princes Risborough Heritage Society Archives for supplying the pictures.

What a lovely treat I had when I visited Janey to learn and experience more about

The Alexander Technique.Having had back and neck problems for more years than I care to remember, I really wasnt sure what to expect or even if there could be anything that could help me but I was very happy to give it a try.

I had heard about the Alexander Technique and thought that it was a way to re-train your body to stand and move in a better way and so generally improve your posture. I think a lot of us could benefit from this and I know that my posture is particularly bad especially being tall, so I felt this might prove very difficult. However, after a lovely welcome into Janeys home and a short introduction, I soon realised there was much more to this technique than I had previously thought.

I will definitely have more sessions with Janey. She put me at ease and was extremely professional, passionate and knowledgeable about her business.

Why not give her a ring and ask about the benefits to you, perhaps its time to start taking proper care of your body?

Hi there, Im Oscar, a 2 year old Jack Russell. Im a bit of a complicated young man who is looking for an understanding, adult only, new home. I sometimes get a bit worried by new people and will need to have my confidence built up by an experienced owner. However once I have obtained that confidence I just love having a good cuddle from someone I know, and Im really very affectionate. I would benefit

from a quiet new home where I can settle down and just enjoy life. I get on with some dogs, but not all, but I definitely dont get on with cats.If you are interested in offering me, or any other

dog, a loving home please visit Stokenchurch Dog Rescue any day except Thursday between 2pm and 4pm, or give them a call on 01494 482695.

It would be great to see you!

We aim to provide all our customers with a professional and reliable service with guaranteed satisfaction.Available to Domestic & Commercial customers.

Osteopathy and Arthritis

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative arthritis where the cartilage which covers the ends of the bones becomes damaged.

This leads to bony overgrowths at the joint called osteophytes. These bony overgrowths, together with the damaged and thinning cartilage, cause the joint to become deformed and painful. Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis and is caused by wear and tear on joints as a result of strains put on an area through

poor posture, manual work and previous injuries.

Rheumatoid or Inflammatory Arthritis is an auto-immune disease. That is, the immune system which normally fight infection starts to attack the cells that line the joints. This thin synovial membrane then becomes inflamed causing stiff and swollen joints, pain and lack of mobility.

Osteopathic treatment can do much to ease the pain of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis by reducing swelling,

improving stiffness and restoring some joint mobility. As a result of this there is often less reliance on medication and consequently less problems with the inevitable side effects of the drugs, such as gastritis. Sometimes it is not the arthritic joint that causes the pain but rather muscle spasm as the body tries to naturally protect the joint.

Osteopathic treatment can reduce this excessive muscle tension, ease the pain and improve movement.

Vegetables are particularly hungry, and to ensure you are harvesting a bumper crop later in the year, make sure they get the right food at the right time.Many gardeners grow all sorts of vegetables in growbags or relatively small containers. Once your plants really start to grow and increase in size, the nutrients are soon exhausted, so it is vital to maintain the nourishment available.Tomatoes for instance require a fertiliser high in Potash - so once your plants start to produce flowers, go ahead and feed once a week with Tomorite or the equivalent.Tomato food is also suitable to use for hanging baskets and tubs. The flowering plants in these containers also need Potash to continue producing blooms throughout the summer, so while youre feeding your tomato plants, treat your baskets to a feed too.An ideal slow release fertiliser is Osmocote - a granular product that is mixed into your compost at the planting up stage.Adding this makes sure your plants receive a regular feed throughout the growing season, although to get the best blooms it is advisable to use a liquid feed too.As I am sure you know, the soil in our area is very alkaline. Full of chalk, and most unsuitable to grow acid loving plants such as Azaleas, Pieris,

Rhododendron, Camellia and some heathers. To get round this problem, it is quite alright to grow these varieties in containers using the correct Ericaceous (acidic) compost. However, after a few months the acidity in these containers is reduced by watering - and so the compost begins to revert to a neutral balance. Your plants will reflect this by losing their rich green look. The foliage will become yellowy telling you you must increase the acidity. This is easily done by feeding with an Ericaceous fertiliser which is available in either liquid or soluble form. Laurels and Box, although not acid loving plants, will also benefit from this kind of feed.Some acid loving plants hate chalk so much that it is advisable to only use rain water as our tap water will affect the PH balance in the container.Many gardeners choose to only use organic products, and this is not a problem when feeding your plants. Bonemeal is an excellent way to promote root growth and is normally used when planting hedges and trees. Fish, Blood & Bone is a more all round source of food and will encourage foliage and flowering as well as roots. If you wish to be organic and make your own fertiliser, have a go at making a Comfrey style tea. Comfrey is an easy to grow large foliaged herb that produces a mass of leaves. Simply harvest these

leaves and place them in a large container, fill it with water, then cover and leave it to its own devices for a month or so. The leaves will break down in the water to produce a rich organic fertiliser that will do wonders for any plant in your garden. A word of warning however. The end product is indeed rich in nutrients and an ideal organic feed - but it stinks to high heaven! So store the container well away from the house.

You will soon see the improvement in any plants you feed regularly, apart from encouraging flowering and leaf growth, you will strengthen them making them far more likely to shake off any disease or insect problems.

Happy Gardening.See you soon,

Simon, Alison, Edith the Jack Russelland all at Askett Nurseries.

A View of Risborough Circa 1643

By Mike Payne

I thought I would give you all a history lesson in todays article. One of the talks I give to various groups in the area is about the Battle of Chalgrove, which of course took place during the English Civil War. It happened on June 18th 1643, 369 years ago, and one thing that fascinates me about that period in our history is to try and imagine how different the area would have looked at that time. It has certainly led to me thinking a lot more about how Princes Risborough would have looked in the mid-17th century? Which buildings still survive and how many people lived here?

I now have a good mental picture of how the town looked. The 12th century Church of St Marys was there, although it wouldnt have had the tall steeple it has today, that was added later. The house called Monks Staithe (or the Old Vicarage) in Church Lane, best known as the house that Amy Johnson once lived in, was there, as was the Manor House, as that dates from 1630-1650. Opposite the Church Corner Cottage, Vine House and the Old Garden Centre were there. Moving towards the centre of town, Cromwell House, The Gables, and of course the Old Library building, now an Indian Restaurant, would all have been built by that time. The Market House is thought to date from around the same time as the Manor, so that was almost certainly there in some form. Beyond the Church, going towards what is now Stratton Road, it would have been fields, streams and farmland in that era. I was surprised to learn that the two cottages that house Domestic

Appliances and the Crystal shop were also 17th century. I had no idea they were that old. Duke Street was there, although in what form I am not sure, but it is known that the building that was Adcock and Percival is also 17th century.

Moving up the High Street, there was almost certainly something on the site of the George and Dragon, and the Cross Keys buildings too. There are obviously other very old foundations hidden behind many of the 19th century rebuilds, the opticians in the High Street is a classic example where the apparently modern building hides a 15th century timber frame. The cottages in Queens Square, the recess opposite Costa Coffee, were definitely there, as were the thatched cottages along Bell Street.

The other building that would also have had a significant presence in the Civil War days is Horsenden Manor. In fact it was very much a Cavalier stronghold at the time, which is strange when you think that John Hampden (a Roundhead) had much influence all around our

town. As for population, there are not too many accurate figures available, although one historian wrote in 1715, not that long after the Civil War, that Princes Risborough had more than 100 families! Longwick meanwhile had nigh on 40! To give you a further idea, the population of the Parish, which probably included Longwick, Lacey Green and Loosley Row was 1,554 in 1801, whilst Monks Risborough had 768 inhabitants that year.

So there you have it, a brief glimpse at what Risborough looked like all those years ago, and the next time you walk down the street have another look at all the buildings Ive mentioned. The funny thing is that many of the people who lived here at the time wouldnt have even known that there was a war on! And they almost certainly wouldnt have known anything about Chalgrove, until the news spread that John Hampden had died from wounds received at the battle there.

You may have noticed that green and white striped gazebos have been springing up in Princes Risborough High Street on certain Sundays in recent months. If you havent yet come along to see what theyre all about, make a note in your diaries now!

Although Risborough already has a thriving weekly market on Thursdays, the Princes Risborough Market Group - which is made up of a team of local volunteers - felt that it would be a fantastic addition to whats already on offer in the town to introduce a monthly food and craft market on Sundays.

The market seeks to bring a variety of products to you, many from local producers - recent markets have included bread and

cakes, cheese, handmade crafts and cards, plants, meat, olive oil and lots more.

The market runs from 10am to 2pm and will be held on the following dates for the rest of the year: June 17th, July 15th, August 19th, September 16th, October 21st, November 18th

So please support this local initiative and come along to the High Street on the 3rd Sunday of the month; enjoy browsing the stalls, sampling the products, chatting to the producers and see for yourself the great selection thats on offer, you wont be disappointed! There are plenty of places in the town to stop for refreshments, plus remember public car parks in the town are free on Sundays.

If you would like further information about the market, please contact: [email protected].
