Posted on May 30, 2025September 27, 2025 by ecwlarcombe

Some members of Datchet Parish Council (assisted by the clerk) continue to pursue their alleged failed attempt to hijack the assets of the local charity (the DRCCT)

The Clerk has now made changes to the Charity Commission web site trustee and contact details.

The new (and arguably incorrect?) DRCCT contact details on the Charity Commission web site can be found here [corrected Sept 2025]

The names of the Councillors involved can be found here

HORTON

The village name "Horton" is a common one in England. It is Old English in origin and derives from the two words horu 'dirt' and tūn 'settlement, farm, estate', presumably meaning 'farm on muddy soil'.In the Domesday Book of 1086 it was recorded as Hortune.

WRAYSBURY

The village name was traditionally spelt Wyrardisbury; it is Anglo Saxon in origin and means 'Wïgrǣd's fort'. Its name is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Wirecesberie and as Wiredesbur in 1195. The name is seen again as Wyrardesbury in 1422.
