BUCKDEN PAROCHIAL CHARITIES
VACANCY AT THE BURBERRY HOMES
The Charity manages South’s Almshouses and Burberry Homes
in Church Street, Buckden consisting of fifteen self-contained
flats for singles or couples, normally over 60 years of age, who
live in Buckden or who have a close active family relationship
with residents of Buckden and have limited means.
The Almshouse flats are unfurnished dwellings, usually, but
not always, designed with the needs of older people in mind.
The aim is to provide convenient and comfortable accommo-
dation in a setting that allows residents to come and go as
they please. The Almshouse is the resident’s home for as long
as s/he is able to live an independent life. Residents pay a
modest weekly maintenance contribution and, in addition,
may receive support from the statutory authorities. A Warden
is there to provide access to and liaison with these authorities.
Having a Warden also means that, in the event of an emergen-
cy, help can be summoned quickly.
We now have one vacancy in the Burberry Homes
(the more modern of the two properties)
If you are interested, please contact the Clerk for more infor-
mation and an application form:
Joe Greenway, 2 St Hugh’s Road, Buckden, PE19 5UB 07745
889759 or joe.greenway@btinternet.com
Applications close Friday 29 March 2019.
Previous applicants who wish to be considered for this vacan-
cy will need to re-apply by the closing date above.
Children's Society Box Holders
A big thank you to you all. This year you have raised a grand
total of £1,521.97. Well done and thank you again.

Did you know…?
In 1631, Shakespeare’s
A midsummer night’s dream
was per-
formed in Buckden Palace’s grounds for the local gentry. The
play began at 10pm on a Saturday night and did not finish un-
til the early hours of Sunday. For desecrating the Lord’s day,
the Archbishop of Canterbury decreed various penalties in-
cluding that a Mr Wilson, who played Bottom, be put in the
stocks the whole of the following Tuesday.
Did you know…?
The Will of Robert Rayment, dated 16 January 1661, provided
for payment of a schoolmaster to teach boys and girls whose
parents could not otherwise afford it. In 1720 it was recorded
that 34 children were being taught at Buckden’s charity
school. The provision was unusual at that time.
