Datchet Parish Council publishes misinformation on website.

Posted on November 19, 2025November 19, 2025 by ecwlarcombe

The Datchet Parish Council Clerk continues to publish misinformation on the DPC website.  On the DRCCT page – the DPC text states as follows:

Published: 12 May 2025

Statement from Datchet Parish Council regarding the unofficial DRCCT website

Please be advised that the website www.drcct.org is not an official site of the Datchet Recreation Centre Charitable Trust (DRCCT).


The above sentence and much of the web page is untrue and I invite the DPC Clerk to remove the entire page.  After seven months, I remain concerned that some relatively new Datchet Parish Councillors (and the Clerk) continue to dispute the proper governance of the Datchet Recreation Centre Charity Trust (DRCCT) and its assets.
It appears the current Parish Council Chairman (and Clerk) have been unwilling to resolve this matter or to establish a framework for constructive cooperation that maintains our respective independence while meeting our separate legal obligations.

Please be assured that www.drcct.org is the link to the DRCCT approved web page.  We (the properly appointed DRCCT trustees as shown on the Charity Commission website) have nothing to hide.

Ewan Larcombe (DRCCT Chair)

DATCHET

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.
