“Hillingdon Hoard” webinar
Archaeologists working in Hillingdon on the HS2 project have uncovered a fascinating rare set of Iron Age potins, an early version of the coin, dating back to the 1st century BC.
If you would like to find out more about this discovery, a free webinar on 19 July will explain all. You can register for it here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/festival-of-archaeology-hillingdons-hidden-history-tickets-157616668699
Swakeleys House open 22nd September
Yes, it’s really open this time. Not half open as it was on Festival weekend.
Details are here: https://openhouselondon.open-city.org.uk/listings/1939
If it’s possible please visit, especially if you’ve not been inside. Secondly, because the more people visit, the more likely that it will remain accessible in future.
Swakeleys House is open this weekend
Ickenham’s wonderful Jacobean mansion is open to the public this coming weekend (16-17 September). Access is via Milton Road between 10am and 5pm each day.
Update: The house is only open on Saturday – the grounds both days. Apologies.
John Squiers
It is with great sadness that we have to announce the death of John Squiers. John was a long-time committee member of the Association and was Membership Secretary for a good number of years. He was very persuasive on the Association’s behalf. If he called to discuss a member’s offer of help, they somehow ended up doing more than they had originally thought!! He was also one of life’s true gentlemen in both senses of the word a very gentle man and an old fashioned courteous man . He will be greatly missed.
This picture shows John doing sterling work for the Association during Gala Day in 2002.

“What makes our village special?”
This is the question we posed about four weeks ago. In just two weeks many of the lovely people of Ickenham rose to our challenge and submitted photos and ideas. From them we’ve burned a DVD of the best 96 for our stand in the Village Hall at the Festive Evening on December 9th.
The deck cycles through 80 rolling slides. It lasts 6m 30s. All photographers are credited in the slides and at the end.
A marvellous effort all of you.
If you can’t get to the Festive Evening, please enjoy them here (and share them if you want) with family and friends.
Enjoy!
