In 1121 King Henry I founded the great Abbey of Reading and endowed it with many gifts of land, including the Manor of Thatcham. At the same time Thatcham Hundred ceased to exist: the western part was transferred to Faircross Hundred, and the remainder to the Hundred of Reading. In 1141 Thatcham Church, previously the property of the Diocese of Salisbury, was granted to Reading Abbey by the Empress Matilda, who at the same time confirmed her father's gift of the manor to the Abbey. Thatcham has a site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) just to the south of the town, called Thatcham Reed Beds.
The name Thatcham is brand-associated with the approval ratings for car security systems issued by the Motor Insurance Repair Research Centre based near the town (see link below). For instance, Thatcham Cat 1 (or just Cat 1) is the approval for a combined car alarm and immobiliser, Thatcham Cat 2 is for a standalone immobiliser and Thatcham Cat 3 is for additional physical security devices such as steering wheel locks.

Henley-in-Arden is a small town in Warwickshire, England. Henley is known for its variety of historic buildings, some of which date back to medieval times and wide variety of preserved architectural styles. The one mile long (1.6 km) High Street of Henley is a conservation area.
Henley-in-Arden is approximately 9 miles west of the county town of Warwick, 15 miles southeast of Birmingham, 9 miles east of Redditch and 9 miles north of Stratford upon Avon (where the road between Stratford and Henley was named Henley Street1). It is located in a valley of the River Alne, which separates Henley from the adjacent settlement of Beaudesert.
Henley and Beaudesert effectively form a single entity, and share a joint parish council, although Beaudesert is a separate civil parish. The town lies at a crossroads between the A3400 and the A4189 roads and is the starting point for the circular Arden Way path. It also lies on the Heart of England Way. Henley Sidings is a nature reserve managed by the Warwickshire Wildlife Trust.
Henley-in-Arden is not listed in the Domesday Book and may not have existed until the 12th century. The first record of the town is in a legal instrument drawn during the reign of Henry II. It was originally a hamlet of Wootton Wawen, on Feldon Street, the original route out of the Forest of Arden. In the 11th century, a Thurstan de Montfort constructed Beaudesert Castle, a motte and bailey castle, on the hill above Beaudesert. In 1140, the Empress Matilda granted the right to hold a market at the castle and Henley soon became a prosperous market town, conveniently located on the busy Birmingham-to-Stratford road. In 1220 in the reign of Henry III, the lord of the manor, Peter de Montfort, procured the grant of a weekly Monday market.
Historically, Henley has had several private lunatic asylums. The first was licensed in 1744, which housed pauper lunatics at the expense of the parish. Another was run by Thomas Burman in 1795, who charged one guinea/week for board and medicines, the patient finding their own linen and washing. If any person chuses a servant constantly to attend on them, board and wages are separately considered..
Henley-in-Arden railway station is on the Birmingham to Stratford Line and has regular rail services to Birmingham Moor Street and Birmingham Snow Hill and Stratford upon Avon station. The line south of Stratford upon Avon previously connected along the Honeybourne Line to Honeybourne (which is on the Cotswold Line) and onwards to Cheltenham. The town lies a few miles southwest of the M40 motorway, which links Birmingham and London.

36th Annual Malpas Yesteryear Rally - Steam on the Field - 12/09/2009
A few shots of the steam road and agricultural locomotives on view at the 36th Annual Yesteryear Rally which took place at Hampton, Malpas, Cheshire on Saturday 12th September 2009. (I did not attend on the 2nd day.) Some shots are very short to get as many vehicles into the 10 minutes that YouTube allows. The captions are equally short so you will need to pause to read them all or, of course, you can scroll down these notes.
For the first 3:45 the locos are static - after that some are seen moving round the field in readiness for the traditional parade in the ring.
