Research and responses

I cannot locate Hatford Glebe [AP 31/08/2006]

According to the Oxford English Dictionary online a glebe can be defined as "A portion of land assigned to a clergyman as part of his benefice", therefore Hatford Glebe may refer to parish owned land around the village of Hatford. Interestingly under the Church of England only parishes with Rectors [as opposed to Vicars] held glebe land [James Hearne was probably Rector of Hatford]. A search of historic Ordnance Survey maps revealed only one village named Hatford [National Grid reference: SU 335 945] in Oxfordshire and surrounding counties. [MN 17/11/2008]

All other William Buckland items were transferred from the Oxford University Museum of Natural History, presumably this was too. He died in 1856 so presumably the item was after that date in the OUMNH collections [AP 20/7/2007]

For details on the history of the Parish of Hatford please see pages 461-463 of A History of the County of Berkshire: Volume 4 (1924). This can be accessed online at http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=62748&strquery=hatford.[MN 28/05/2009]
