Winslow Almanac, Handbook, and Diary for 1910.

Winslow is a parish, market town, and the head of a Poor Law Union, area 1781 acres.  It is a polling District in the Northern Division of the County, with 750 voters;  and forms Division 16 of the County Council – Councillor, Mr. Thos. Biggs, J.P.

It is distant from Aylesbury 10 miles N.W., 6¾ S.E. from Buckingham and 12 W.N.W. from Leighton Buzzard, and between the 50th and 51st milestone from London.  Population by last census, 1703, (probably now rather more).

THE MANOR OF WINSLOW,

Formed part of the demesnes of St. Albans Abbey until the general dissolution of religious houses in the time of Henry VIII, when it was surrendered to the Crown, in whose hands it remained until 1599 when Queen Elizabeth sold it to Sir John Fortescue of Salden, for £2,329 7s. 1d.   A few years prior to this, viz. 1586 – the Crown had granted to Sir John Fortescue, the Office of Bailiff and Clerk of the Market of Winslow, and all waifs and strays, in right of the Manor of Biggin, near Winslow.  In 1619 the Manor was sold to Sir George Villiers, Marquis of Buckingham;  it was purchased in 1697 under an act of Parliament, (giving power to Nicholas Goodwyn the Mortgagee, to sell it), by William Lowndes Esq.

THE MANOR HOUSE, WINSLOW HALL,

Is a fine lofty brick edifice, standing at the entrance of the town from Aylesbury.  Until recent years it was approached by a handsome flight of stone steps leading to the south front, over the door of which is the name of “William Lowndes,” and the date of its erection, 1700; a modern carriage way now leads to the north front of the house.  It is the property of Norman McCorquodale, Esq.

THE LIVING OF WINSLOW,

Was for many generations under the spiritual authority of St. Albans Abbey, and it was returned in 1534 as being of the annual value of £11 5s. 8d.   After the Reformation the Advowson of Winslow was reserved to the Crown, and made part of the See of London being wholly exempted from the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Lincoln, in whose Diocese the County of Bucks was then situate.  After some temporary changes the patronage again became vested in the Crown, and the impropriation was given to the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul’s Cathedral, its ecclesiastical government being vested in the Bishop of London, subject to the Archdeacon of St. Albans.  The Crown still retains the patronage, the presentation to the living being made by the Lord Chancellor for the time being.  Since 1845, Winslow has formed part of the Diocese of Oxford.

THE PARISH CHURCH.

There was a Church (or Royal Chapel) in Winslow as far back as A.D. 794.  Some parts of the present Building may date back to about the year 1100, but generally speaking it dates from the end of the 13th century or the beginning of the next – the earliest mention that has been found is about 1150 – 1180, and the earliest Vicar’s name recorded is Johanni de Wynselowe, in 1275.  A Feast was granted to the Church on St. Laurence’s day (Aug. 10th) in 1235.

It consists of a Nave of four bays, a large Chancel, a Western Tower, and north and south Aisles.  There is a fine large porch on the south of the building, and the Church was originally completed by a Sacristy to the north of the Chancel, this has now been replaced by a north Chancel Aisle.  Generally speaking, the Church dates from the end of the thirteenth century, or the beginning of the next, - with the following exceptions – the upper stage of the Tower, the south porch, various windows, especially the east window, which were inserted in Perpendicular times, the upper part of the Clerestory, the five windows of the aisle, and the roofs throughout.  The windows at the west end are all original, as are two others, one in the Chancel, and one in the north aisle.  One Clerestory window also remains on each side.  The pulpit is Jacobaean [sic] and of very good design.  The old sacristy door, the piscine in the Chancel, and another of somewhat unusual design in the south aisle, have been brought to light, as well as an aumbrey, also in the south aisle.  The Tower 64 feet high, contains six bells and a small Sanctus Bell.  Lipscomb states that these were cast from an order peal of five bells, by Keene of Woodstock, in June 1663, and gives the weight of the old bells as 7,500 lbs., and the new ones 6,800, only two bells now remain of the latter peal, viz., the fourth and fifth.

In 1884, the Church underwent a most extensive restoration, the whole of the galleries being taken down also the high-back pews.  In 1885 a new clock with chimes was fixed in the Tower and the bells rehung in accordance with the bequest of the late D. T. Willis, Esq.  On October 30th, 1889, a new Chancel Aisle of Decorated English design was opened, forming a vestry and organ chamber, and in June, 1890, a powerful organ was placed in the chamber.  Stained glass Windows have been placed in the Church to the memory of the late Mr. H. R. Lambton, and Mr. H. Bullock, and the Church has been re-seated with oak benches.

THE OLD BAPTIST CHAPEL.

The Baptist Church in Winslow dates its origin as far back as 1625, the meetings then being probably held in a private house or even under the trees and hedgerows of the adjoining fields.  About 1630, the present Chapel, situate in a most secluded spot at the bottom of a narrow alley leading out of the Market Square was opened as a place of worship.  It is a very homely little brick and tiled structure with some of the original lattice windows remaining and having a quaint little porch at the side bearing the initials “Wm. G.,1695." opening into a little burial ground, while the interior of the Chapel is nearly paved with memorial stones to departed friends of the cause.

THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.

In the year 1800 the Independents commenced holding services in Winslow, having the use of the Baptist Chapel on alternate Sundays;  and on April 10th, 1816, a building which was originally a barn, situate in Horn Street, having been purchased by Mr. Edmund Cox, and considerably altered, was opened as an Independent Chapel.  It is described as being a neat chapel, capable of holding 250 persons, and costing £300.  This did not long suffice it being pulled down and replaced by a larger structure in 1829.  The first Minister was the Rev. John Wilson.  The present buildings were erected in 1884, on the site of the former Chapel, somewhat enlarged, the cost being about £2,900.  The design is of the early 15th Century Gothic, with entrance through a square central tower, Sunday School to the right and large Class-room to the left.  The Church seats 240 people on the ground floor, and 80 in the gallery.  The School will seat 100 adults and the Class-room 42.  The adjoining property has since been purchased and converted into a minister’s residence.

THE BAPTIST TABERNACLE.

In 1863, an effort was made by some of the townspeople to establish a General Baptist cause, and a preaching room was opened by them in the High Street.  A piece of ground was then purchased in the Buckingham Road, and on May 7th, 1864, the foundation stone of the present buildings was laid, the Rev. C. H. Spurgeon preaching in a tent on the site.  On the 15th September following, the Tabernacle was opened for worship, the cost being £744.  The Rev. R. Sole was the first Pastor of the Church.  In 1880, it being found necessary to have larger school accommodation, the Centenary Hall was erected (mainly through the exertions of the Rev. F. J. Feltham), at the cost of £475.

Charities.

In 1772, Joseph Rogers bequeathed the sum of £600 to be laid out in the purchase of Land, the yearly rents to be spent in educating a number of poor people’s children in Winslow.  The property now consists of a house, outbuildings, orchard and certain closes of Land containing 23a. 1r. 30p.  in the Parishes of Great and Little Kimble.  In 1772, Sarah Egerton bequeathed the annual sum of £1 to the poor of Winslow – this charity now appears to consist of a plot of arable land containing 1a. 1r. 35p.  In 1786, an unknown donor gave land to the poor of Winslow, which then produced £9 9s. per annum, it is supposed to be the present “Poor’s Allotment” containing 7a. 3r. 24p.  In 1664, Joan Forde bequeathed £100 to purchase land for the poor, but nothing is now known as to her bequest.  In 1814, William Packer, Esq., of London, gave £100 in 3 per cents, the interest to be given annually to the parish in bread, on the Sunday after the 5th of July.  In 1815, Edmund Cox bequeathed £300, the interest to be given in “good wheaten bread” twice every year to the poor.  In 1843, Miss Bridget Yeates gave a house adjoining the Churchyard for the use of the Infant School;  and in 1846 her executors purchased the following three-per-cent Annuities : £166 13s. 4d. in aid of the Infant School;  £166 13s. 4d. for coals and wood for the poor; £166 13s. 4d. in aid of the Sunday School, and £50 to buy books for the Sunday School.  A number of Bibles are yearly distributed among the children of the various Sunday Schools, by the will of Lord Wharton.
