Fulmer

Fulmer is a village and civil parish in south Buckinghamshire, England. The village has, along most of its northern border, a narrow green buffer from Gerrards Cross and its heavily wooded adjoining neighbouring villages of Iver Heath and Wexham. The village's name is derived from the Old English for "mere or lake frequented by birds". It was recorded in 1198 as Fugelmere.^[2]

In the late 17th century the owners of the manor of Fulmer were forced to sell their house to their servants because they had squandered their money and could not afford to pay them. The manor then passed into the hands of the Duke of Portland.

In the mid-19th century watercress was grown at Moor Farm, known locally as "The Bog", (now Low Farm) by Richard Whiting Bradbery, the son of William Bradbery, the first British watercress pioneer who had a large cress farm at West Hyde, Hertfordshire. Richard is buried in St James’ churchyard, Fulmer, with his wife Hannah.

Fulmer Chase on Stoke Common Road is a former home of the Wills tobacco family and was used as a military hospital during World War II.

Fulmer is close to Pinewood Studios and several films have been shot in the village, including Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines and Sleepy Hollow. The headquarters of The Mahdi Servants Union is located there.

En el pueblo se juega al críquet al menos desde la primera mitad del siglo XIX. La revista deportiva Bell's Life in London publicó un artículo el 6 de agosto de 1843 que sugería que el vicario, el reverendo Butterfield, había «formado un club entre los jóvenes del pueblo y les había obsequiado con bates, pelotas y postes». Hasta entonces, continuaba el artículo, los jóvenes solían «reunirse en grupos para practicar el infame juego de lanzar y recoger», especialmente los domingos.

No está claro cuánto tiempo duró el club del vicario, pero a finales del siglo XIX se refundó este deporte. Ya existía un equipo local en 1886, pero el club actual se fundó oficialmente en 1895.

El Fulmer Cricket Club juega sus partidos en el King George's Field, que lleva el nombre del rey Jorge V en su memoria . El residente local y reconocido jugador de críquet Denis Compton inauguró la nueva casa club en 1988.
