as it is allowed. Because of uncertainty
surrounding the hall’s finances during these
lockdowns, the trustees decided at our autumn
meeting to hold fire on plans to build the Penn
& Tylers Green Heritage Centre on the site of
the hall’s changing rooms.
However, we do have planning permission
and hope to progress matters before too long.
Fingers crossed that by this time next year the
community will be within touching distance of
its long-awaited Heritage Centre. Peter Brown,

P&TG Community Archive
Although progress on the proposed Penn &
Tylers Green Heritage Centre is stalled
temporarily, work is progressing on establishing
the community archive that it will contain - and
we would very much like your help.
Two residents, Madalyn Roker and Cathy
Sturrock, are forming a team to determine what
historical material there is available so it can be
catalogued. They have been in contact with the
Buckinghamshire County Archivist so that the
standard format for recording and archiving
material can be followed.
Eventually the Heritage Centre, at the village
hall, will store publicly accessible archive for
Penn and Tylers Green as well as host an
exhibition area to showcase special village
exhibitions and school projects on local issues.
Lots of old photographs, historically
important documents, village memorabilia and
fascinating artefacts are currently stored in
various spare rooms, cupboards and lofts in
people’s homes in the village. The centre will
enable all these treasures to be safely stored and
accessible in one place and available for future
generations to enjoy.
If you have such material that you would be
prepared to share, have copied or donate to the
centre, then please contact Madalyn or Cathy.
You can email them on madalynroker@hotmail.
com or cathy.sturrock@hotmail.co.uk. If you
would prefer to send a letter, write to me at

If you would like to join the archive team to
help sort out the available material and begin
the process of how to assimilate it, then please
also contact Madalyn or Cathy. Peter Brown
Chepping Wycombe Parish Council
Sadly we are still experiencing vandalism in
Ashley Park drive. During the first week of
November, fireworks were set off in the park,
causing irreparable damage to both the litter
bins and the dog poo bin. These will have to be
replaced at a cost to the Parish which ultimately
comes from the precept paid for by residents.
One bin costs at least £190 without installation
costs.
As a forewarning we are taking out more ash
trees in Kings Wood due to ash die back so very
necessary tree works. There will be more tree
works over the winter months, especially to the
trees around the common. Mostly crown lifting
but because this is in the conservation area, it is
dependent on the planning permission we have
applied for being granted.
We have also applied to the Beaconsfield and
Chepping Wye Community board to assist with
funding to fence around the play area in Ashley
Drive, which is a long-held ambition following
consultation with residents some time ago.
The Beaconsfield Rotary Club asked
permission to plant some crocus bulbs around
the bus stop area opposite JJs which we happily
gave so we look forward to a lovely display in
the spring.
Due to current restrictions our meetings are
