Consultation on catapult ban:  I do not need to list the damage and harm associated with the use of catapults.

Motion for 8/12/2025 Datchet Parish Council meeting: This Council confirms support for the RBWM Catapults PSPO Consultation.

Here is an opportunity to take some action.  Please record your views on the consultation document now.   An email received from RBWM Cllr Mark Wilson states as follows:  With many thanks to officers involved in developing this over the last six months, I’m pleased to share the link to the public consultation regarding the draft Catapult Public Space Protection Order which was launched recently.

DATCHET

The name "Datchet" is thought to be Celtic in origin, and the last part may be related to cet ("wood"). In the Domesday Book it is called "Daceta".lla. Datchet is first mentioned between 990 and 994, when King Ethelred made small grants of land 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.
