THENovember 2020LEEFor The Lee, Lee Common, Hunts Green, Kings Ash and Swan BottomFrom the EditorBy Jonathan Battent was 415 years ago this month thata failed assassination attempt againstKing James I by a group ofprovincial English Catholics, led byRobert Catesby, eventually led to theyearly tradition of bonfire night on the5th November.The plan was to blow up theHouse of Lords during the StateOpening of Parliament on 5thNovember 1605 as the prelude to apopular revolt in the Midlands, wherea lockdown was threatened.The conspirators, who included:John and Christopher Wright, Robertand Thomas Wintour, Thomas Percy,Guy Fawkes, Robert Keyes, ThomasBates, John Grant, Ambrose Rookwood,Sir Everard Digby and Francis Tresham,limited their plotting meetings to sixpeople at a time but were grassed up tothe authorities in an anonymous letter.The rest is history but, as we won’tbe having a village bonfire or organisedfireworks this year, you may smellmore than a whiff of cordite about thisedition of the Newsletter and find a fewfireworks in its contents. We have alsosourced a special gunpowder-infusedpaper for the printing so that, when youhave read it and extracted the Covidhelpline flyer, you can roll themagazine into a tube, attach a stick,light the blue touch paper (see page 23)and watch it go.IIf you do have your own fireworksin your garden, spare a thought for yourneighbours and the local cats and dogs.‘Plogging’ The LeeLast month I was a foot soldier in acohort of intrepid litter pickersattempting to clear up our roads andverges for the second time this year. Itis, as always, a joy to pick up otherpeople’s rubbish including a discardedface mask – what sort of people do that?In Sweden picking up rubbishwhilst jogging is a recognised activitycalled ‘plogga’. A combination of thewords ‘plocka upp’, meaning pick up,with the language's word for ‘jog’,‘jogga’. It has mutated here to theword ‘plogging’ which now appears inEnglish language dictionaries. Theobjective of plogging is to exercisewhile making the area in which youare doing so litter-free.Now that sounds like something alllocal joggers could take up: ifeveryone picked up even one item oflitter each time they went out for a runthink how much more pleasant ourvillage could be.With all the madness in the worldaround us at the moment here is a songchoice to cherish for this month:Smile though your heart is achingSmile even though it’s breakingWhen there are clouds in the skyyou’ll get byIf you smile through your fear andsorrow

2Smile and maybe tomorrowYou’ll see the sun come shiningthroughFor youLight up your face with gladnessHide every trace of sadnessAlthough a tear maybe ever so nearThat’s the time you must keep ontryingSmile, what’s the use of cryingYou’ll find that life is still worthwhileIf you just smileOh, that’s the time you must keep ontryingSmile, what’s the use of cryingYou’ll find that life is still worthwhileIf you just smileOf course we will not see yousmile, as you will be wearing a mask,but it’s about having the mindset.Please send your contributions fornext month’s edition to the editor, PhilHarrison, by 12th November, attheleenewsletter@gmail.comYour LettersThe Lee Covid-19Helpline and VolunteersTo the EditorPlease turn to the leaflet includedwith this Newsletter and retain it forfuture reference.

Bucks Council report thatthey received hundreds of nominationsfor these awards and the calibre ofentries was very strong.Well done (again!) to allconcerned. The Lee can rightly beproud of its community shop.Colin SullySwan BottomA year in thelife of The LeeBy Tony Rigby (expat. of The Lee)uring the ‘lockdown’ I hadtime to clear out old files andreview media. During thisprocess I watched some footage fromthe old ‘The Lee Millennium Video’which, some will recall, was issued onVHS tape and the result of me beingtasked by the village MillenniumCommittee to record the life andactivities in The Lee Parish at the startD

3Revisit the start of thismillennium with a DVDI have therefore taken theopportunity to edit the content down toa more concise 59 minutes (losing 30minutes of ‘flab’), while still coveringall events and ‘happenings’ andretaining Geoffrey Palmer’s narrationin full.The result is now available onDVD – ‘A Year In The Life Of TheLee’ – and will be available to buy,exclusively, at the Lee Shop and itsChristmas Market, for the benefit ofShop funds.Please bear in mind that the pictureresolution is not comparable to today’sdigital standard and was furtherreduced as a consequence of variousdata transfer processes.Just sit back, relax and enjoy!of this millennium, from July 1999 toJune 2000.PyrotechnicsIt occurred to me that the videowas probably a unique comprehensivehistorical record of normal life in theThe Lee, as it included the FlowerShow, the Fête, Midsomer Murders,pantomime, shows, cricket, OldChurch, New Church, suppers, dances,people, animals, seasonal views,parties etc.Seeing it again is also a chance toremember us as we were and otherswho are sadly no longer with us. Forexample, you may have been in theschool play, but 20 years on ?The problem though, should youwish to watch the video again, is thatyou most probably do not have aworking VHS player.SHORT-TERMRENTALSFrom 295 per week (all inclusive)Self-catering holidayor temporary accommodationat Lee CommonMoving house?Completion dates don’t coincide?House sale falls through?Builders outstaying their welcome?Expecting Visitors?Need extra accommodation?Self-contained Period Property:sleeps four guestsTel: 01494 837798e-mail: lowerbassibones@yahoo.co.uk

4Impressions ofa protest: JonesHill WoodBy Claudia D’Alessandroour years ago I was amongst agroup of local people who wentto the House of Lords to petitionagainst HS2. The process of deliveringa petition and arguing in front of theSelect Committee was one I will notforget. The QC for HS2 seemed to havebeen chosen for his close resemblanceto a bird of prey, and his wordsmatched the sharpness of his features.How could we fight such a beast?Four years on, I have had anothertaste of the sinister workings of thisdubious organisation into which publicmoney is being poured. At first, HS2seemed a distant threat. We knew itwas coming, had seen their vans whichregularly dash up and down ournarrow lane, the same lane theyassured us they would not be using,regardless of people or animals. ButHS2 had not really touched our lives atthis point. A few vans parked in thefield, land left fallow and empty,which would normally be planted orgiven over to livestock. We were stillhoping it would just go away, that thegovernment would realise that with themove to home working, it is evenmore of a vanity project, an emptyidea, a train to nowhere.FPigeonProtesters have camped out forsome time now in Jones Hill Wood.They areaneclecticgroup,encompassing many age ranges andpeople of different backgrounds withone thing in common. They love nature,want to preserve the environment andJones Hill Wood from Bowood Lanewant to stop HS2 from destroyingancient woodlands. Tree houses wereconstructed at the very top of the tallestbeech trees. Protesters took on namessuch as ‘Squirrel’ or ‘Pigeon’ in honourof the creatures whose homes they weretrying to preserve.We went to visit the camp on theirRoald Dahl open day, held on thefamous author’s birthday. He wouldhave been 105. I remember meetinghim when I was in primary school; astern and rather grumpy figure, whoreminded me of many of the charactersin his books.Willow effectThe wood sparkled in the softautumn light. A wood fire burned and apot of stew bubbled appetisingly. Thechildren immediately felt at home andrushed off to play while we adultsspoke to protesters about theirexperiences and aims. One earnestyoung man told us that he planned towrite his thesis in a tree (he wasstudying ecology), while another told usof the peace to be found in the wood,away from the cares of the busy world.We were shown ancient fossils ofmarine creatures discovered in thewood, examples of fungi, evidence ofanimals and birds whose home is here.A week later, what a difference! Ihad a message that HS2 had started to

5fence off the wood and that protesterswere asking for support. The weatherhad turned. Autumn winds and rainbegan to pick up, and with the winds,change blew through the wood. Ihurried down after finishing work towitness what was happening.Fences slash through the centre ofthe wood, men in orange jackets werepositioned in the field, and as I startedto cross, a policemen came leaping overto ask me (politely) to go around theedge, as this was now HS2 land. Onentering the wood, a very differentatmosphere reigned. With the softsunlight gone, to be replaced by heavygrey skies and drizzle, the tension in theair was palpable. After dropping offsome supplies to the main camp, Iwalked down to where the fences cutthrough the trees.These are the NET (National EvictionTeam). The silence was spooky. Noneof them spoke but stood staring acrossinto the wood and at the protesters whocame close to the barriers. If anyoneapproached or touched the fences, theywould close in on them like spiders,creeping up to their prey. Protestersvaliantly pierced the silence withrousing songs of “Rise Up!” and “Thereis no planet B”.The next time I visited, there wasmore action. Cherry pickers had beenbrought in, and men were going up intothe treetops to where protesters were inthe treehouses. The barriers around theshelters were being systematicallyremoved, protesters deprived ofbelongings, and ropes and harnesseswere being cut.As the NET was drawn ever closerinto the stronghold, the protestersseemed more and more vulnerable.Shop at The LeeFor all your daily needsThe wood is dividedScreech rocketAll along the barrier wereaggressive looking figures, dressedfrom head to toe in black, completewith helmets, masks and sturdy boots.A community shop, financed andrun by the village; the shop lies atthe heart of the parish.Current opening hours(subject to change):Mondays to Fridays: 8.00 a.m. until 4.00 p.m.Weekends: 8.00 a.m. until 12:00 noon.Tel: 01494 837195shop@thelee.org.uk

8LitterBy Pat Chinnerywould like to say thank you to allwho helped clear litter away fromour local roads, etc.IThe day after the collection I sawLinda Pearce on her daily walkholding yet more litter. Thanks Lindafor all you do to keep our lanes clearof litter.HS2 updateBy Colin Sully, The Lee Parish Counciln 1st October, the HS2 projectannounced the next tranche oflocal work, which s and ecological translocations in the section of the linebetween Leather Lane and RockyLane. The full notification is atwww.hs2inbucksandox.co.uk in the‘Works in your area’ section.This programme, which will becarried out from a temporarycompound accessed off Kings Lane, isplanned to run from October 2020through to January 2021, at whichpoint the compound will be removed.OOur collection was part of theKeep Britain Tidy campaign this year.Sadly, there was the usual rubbish justthrown from cars and much of therubbish down Rocky Lane consistedof drink containers, cans, bottles andthis year so much more take-awayrubbish, I guess due to Covid.Flying saucerSeveral items of clothing werefound. I know we have had hotweather but among the clothing was aswimsuit and a dress, as well asscarves and jumpers!Road chaosThe project has access to the HS2route, for these so-called ‘enabling’works, via a number of locations alongPotter Row, Kings Lane, BowoodLane and elsewhere. Because of thenarrowness of Kings Lane, theysought and obtained permission for itstemporary closure in order to get theirlarge HGVs in and out, to set up acompound for these latest works. Evenwith this access secured, an attemptwas still made to put low-loaderscarrying heavy plant down a differentaccess point. This failed because of itstotal unsuitability, resulting in afurther blockage and tailback on KingsLane. In early October, with theevictions also taking place at JonesHill Wood at the same time, the localarea became awash with HS2-relatedlorries, vans and cars.

Z-firing fan cakeThe Parish Council has againraised the issue of the use of theselanes with HS2 contractors and withBuckinghamshire Council, but thecouncil’s powers to prevent this‘enabling’ traffic using these lanesappears to be limited, provided it staysbelow the threshold levels set by theAct and by highways regulations. and nearbyMeanwhile, the roadworks at GreatMissenden have been extended intoNovember, a further tranche of‘enabling work’ has been announcedat Great Missenden and finally a oneday closure of Potter Row is plannedfor Monday 9th November to instaltraffic monitoring equipment.Jones Hill Wood updateOn 1st October, HS2 contractorsmoved in to take possession of theirsafeguarded section of Jones Hill Wood(see September Newsletter) and beginthe process of removing the protesters,many of whom had secured themselveson platforms high up in the trees.As reported elsewhere, (page 4),for over a week, the wood became asea of HS2 security personnel, theNational Eviction Team (NET) andThames Valley Police officers, asfencing was installed to delineate andthen clear the HS2 safeguarded area.After eight days, which included‘Storm Alex’ and the return of‘Swampy’, climbing officers fromThames Valley Police scaled to thelast tree camp, where they arrested theremaining trespassing protesters andcharged them with aggravatedtrespass. A total of 24 arrests areunderstood to have been made.At the time of writing, there are noprotesters on HS2 safeguarded land.Pilates@HOME’FLEXIBLE TO THE CORE’1 to 1 Pilates in the comfort andconvenience of your own homeMat Pilates for all abilitiesImproves posture, flexibility,core strength, muscle toneand sports performanceIndividuals [or small groups of up to 4]Qualified Mat Pilates instructor forBeginner, Intermediate andAdvanced Levels“In ten sessions you will feel the difference,in 20 you will see the difference and in 30you will have a whole new body” Joseph PilatesIf you are interested or require furtherinformation please contact:Karen on 07790 rensabsolutepilates.co.uk9

See page 19.The LeeCricket ClubBy Patrick Walshor much of the lockdown it waslooking like we would play nocricket at The Lee this season.We were all forced to sit in ourF

11gardens during those endless days ofclear blue skies in May and Junepondering on what could have been.Boris’s comment on cricket ballsbeing a ‘vector for the disease’seemed to confirm our worst fears.Then, all of a sudden at the start ofJuly, there was a U-turn by thegovernment and the ECB, and wewere given the go-ahead to play,under strictly controlled conditions.Fortunately our pitch had beenlovingly maintained during lockdownbyourteamofvolunteergroundsmen, Ed, Ben and Rob, andwe were ready to play at a moment’snotice. We had no problem gettingplayers either, and were delightedthat many who had not played for afew years came back to the club keento don their whites again.Jumping jacksWe have managed to completehalf of a normal season, with theSaturday 1st and 2nd XIs each playingthe other teams in their division oncerather than twice.What we lacked for in quantitywe certainly made up for in quality,with our players managing to scoretwocenturies,fourteenhalfcenturies, six five-wicket hauls andtwo hat-tricks! Special mention mustgo to Harry Rice for notching upfour of those five-wicket hauls.A shorter 40 overs per side,win-lose, format was introduced to theleague games to allow extra time forsanitising hands and the ball every sixovers, and this actually led to somethrilling finishes.There was no promotion orrelegation this year, but both of ourleague teams ended up in respectablemid-table positions.Mini-rocketAs always we like to get youngerplayers in our adult teams, and the 2 ndXI often had three Under 13s playingin the team, and often making matchwinning contributions with bat, balland in the field.Our colts’ season normally runsfrom May to mid-July, so thescheduled fixtures were wiped out bylockdown, but the coaches hastilyarranged a set of friendlies with otherlocal clubs, and we played these rightthrough until early September –meaning that most of the kids endedup playing more cricket than theywould have done in a normal year.We all hope that next season wecan get back to some form ofnormality – but if we keep seeing thequality of cricket that we have seen inthis abridged 2020 season then it willbe something special to behold.

The churchwas decorated with fruits from thehedgerows, flowers and vegetablesfrom allotments and gardens; all ofwhich gave us a glimpse of what lifeused to be like before lockdown.RemembranceSunday2020:th8 NovemberBy the Editors we go to press, weunderstand that there will beno service at St John theBaptist on 8th November, nor at theOld Church.The national and local guidance forRemembrance Sunday is that, whereverpossible, people should “commemorateat home” on that day, although somelimited-scale events are being held,where Covid-19 risk assessments havebeen carried out and the numbersattending can be controlled.As it is unlikely that there will beany organised event in The Lee on thatday, any residents who chose to go tothe The Lee Green are asked to respectthe then applicable social distancingrules, traffic regulations and the privateownership of the Green.Any further information will beposted on The Lee website and Forumas it becomes available.A

13John Barber –RIPBy Sheelagh Reevet is with great sadness that weheard of the recent passing of JohnBarber at his home in South Heath.He was well known in the Lee asthe man with the steam car thatprovided so many happy rides aroundThe Lee Green during The Lee Fêtesover the years. John was also a regularmember of The Lee Thursday walkinggroup and will be greatly missed bymany in the local area.We knew John as he was ouradjacent neighbour for about 20 yearsin South Heath when he moved intothe area from Ley Hill, Chesham aftermarrying his late wife Hazel.ISaluteJohn was a lovely social personwho would happily stop to chat about avariety of subjects especially when wesaw him out walking with his dog,Lucy.

15meaning that more of theWendover – Chesham traffic ison Rocky Lane / Chesham Lane increased HS2 activity betweenSouth Heath and Wendover HS2 protesters camped at, andvisiting, Jones Hill Wood roadworks and delays on theA413 causing ‘rat-running’ onthe hill-top lanes increased building work onChartridge Lane and locally.Sadly, the long-awaited HS2monitoring of hill-top traffic has stillnot started. The Lee Parish and CountyCllrs continue to press HS2 for this tobe prioritised.Damp squibBucks Highways have investigatedthe possibility of a sign saying “Roadunsuitable for HGVs” on the road fromChartridge / Chesham but have beenunable to find a location that fits withinthe regulations (there is already such asign at the bottom of Rocky Lane).HummerLocal powers to set speed limitsalso seem unlikely to be changed anytime soon. A review of limits nowwould require a full ireCouncil(BC)internal committee and full Councildiscussion / approval process, and thenlegal amendments to statutory TrafficRegulation Orders. BC are notinclined to go down this route on theevidence available.Bucks Highways will also notthemselves initiate speed signs orcameras on this road. There may,however, be two possible waysforward for the parish council:a) make a bid to the Chesham andVillages Community Board forfunding for such signsJ Brown Funeral Services67 Woodside Road, Amersham, HP6 6AA01494 727474 (24 hours)A truly independent family funeral directorsBespoke and traditional servicesPrivate chapels of restPre-paid funeral plansOff street client parkingHome visitsContact Jason Brown on: 01494 727474jason@jbrownfuneralservices.co.ukRecommended byThe Good Funeral GuideCromarCarpets LtdCarpets, Vinyl andWood FlooringSupplied and Fitted9-11 Station ApproachGreat Missenden01494 862125
