DRCCT – the case against Datchet Parish Council

Posted on November 7, 2026November 7, 2026 by ecwlarcombe

The Datchet Recreation Centre Charitable Trust (DRCCT, Charity No. 252303) owns the land and buildings at Allen Way on the Sabatini Land.  The Council has agreed this as fact. Its current trustees — Monica Davies and Ewan Larcombe — applied to register that land at HM Land Registry. This is a routine, necessary step, required to bring the charity’s title onto the modern register. Datchet Parish Council, through Wellers Law Group LLP of London, has objected — stating explicitly it will not negotiate — and the matter now heads toward the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber).  You will find further details here.

I will not take down this website as demanded by Cllr Buckley in his Code of Conduct complaint.  This site hosts over 600 posts and content beyond the DPC/DRCCT dispute.  The Code of Conduct process does not provide for ordering removal of a personal website.
As for Cllr Buckley demanding a public apology, I have repeatedly raised my concerns through the proper channels including Datchet Parish Council Meetings, the Charity Commission and External Auditor, but have not yet had support.

I will not give Cllr Buckley an assurance requiring prior written permission from the Clerk for communications about my own role, as that would be an unreasonable restriction on my Councillor’s freedom of expression and duty to represent both the parish electors and the DRCCT.

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.
