  • PARISH PROFILE for ST PAUL's WALDEN with PRESTON
    PARISH PROFILE FOR ST PAUL’S WALDEN with PRESTON St Paul’s Walden with Preston Parish Profile 1 OVERVIEW The parishes of All Saints’, St. Paul’s Walden, and St. Martin’s, Preston are located in the beautiful North Hertfordshire countryside surrounding the villages of Whitwell and Preston. The villages are ideally located for commuting into London and around the South East, with a modern family-size vicarage in the village of Whitwell, next to the village primary school. Both villages have a flourishing community life with large numbers of groups and events, making up a community of diverse skills, occupations, interests and faiths. The incumbent will have Team Vicar status as part of the Hitchin Ministry Team, which provides a supportive, friendly and enthusiastic ministry to both Hitchin and these village parishes. The churches provide a focal point for the community, with many villagers having an association with the churches even if not attending regularly. Each church seeks to provide meaningful worship through a wide variety of services and events, aimed at all members of the community from residents of assisted living or care homes, to families and young children. We try to be creative, and are open to new ideas. Services such as Harvest, Lessons and Carols at Christmas, and Holiday clubs at Easter and the Summer attract many people, and we now seek to enable those who attend the festivals and Messy Church to be more engaged in an active part of the church family. Sunday school is offered most Sundays at All Saints,’ with a younger and older group offered if required.

    NEWS RELEASE FOURTH STREET AT CONSTITUTION AVENUE NW WASHINGTON DC 20565 . 737-4215/842-6353 EXHBITION FACT SHEET Title; THE TREASURE HOUSES OF BRITAIN: FIVE HUNDRED YEARS OF PRIVATE PATRONAGE AND ART COLLECTING Patrons: Their Royal Highnesses The Prince and Princess of Wales Dates; November 3, 1985 through March 16, 1986, exactly one week later than previously announced. (This exhibition will not travel. Loans from houses open to view are expected to remain in place until the late summer of 1985 and to be returned before many of the houses open for their visitors in the spring of 1986.) Credits; This exhibition is made possible by a generous grant from the Ford Motor Company. The exhibition was organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington, in collaboration v\n.th the British Council and is supported by indemnities from Her Majesty's Treasury and the U.S. Federal Council on the Arts and Humanities. Further British assistance was supplied by the National Trust and the Historic Houses Association. History of the exhibition; The suggestion that the National Gallery of Art consider holding a major exhibition devoted to British art was made by the British Council in 1979. J. Carter Brown, Director of the National Gallery, responded with the idea of an exhibition on the British Country House as a "vessel of civilization," bringing together works of art illustrating the extraordinary achievement of collecting and patronage throughout Britain over the past five hundred years. As this concept carried with it the additional, contemporary advantage of stimulating greater interest in and support of those houses open to public viewing, it was enthusiastically endorsed by the late Lord Howard of Henderskelfe, then-Chairman of the Historic Houses Association, Julian Andrews, Director of the Fine Arts Department of the British Council, and Lord Gibson, Chairman of the National Trust.

  • Local Plan Incorporating the Proposed Main Modifications
    PROPOSED SUBMISSION LOCAL PLAN INCORPORATING THE PROPOSED MAIN MODIFICATIONS Knebworth Introduction 13.183 Knebworth parish lies on the southern edge of District between Stevenage and Welwyn. The village of Knebworth has a good range of facilities including a railway station, school, doctors and dentists, library, a range of shops, village hall and churches. The railway and A1(M) both cross the parish. East of the A1(M) is Knebworth village, which grew up around Knebworth Station. West of the A1(M) is Old Knebworth, adjoining the Knebworth House estate. Apart from the two villages the parish also includes the Knebworth House parkland and surrounding countryside. 13.184 At the 2011 census the population of the parish of Knebworth was 4,496 and there were 2,002 dwellings in the parish. Role in settlement hierarchy 13.185 Knebworth is identified as a Category A village. It is excluded from the Green Belt with a settlement boundary shown on the Proposals Policies Map. General development will be permitted in this area. The rest of the parish is designated Green Belt. Old Knebworth is identified as a Category B village within the Green Belt where limited infilling will be allowed. Heritage 13.186 Knebworth village has moved twice. The original village was in what is now Knebworth Park, clustered around the parish church of St Mary and St Thomas. The church, which is a Grade I listed building, now stands alone in the park, after one of the owners of Knebworth House moved the village to enlarge the park. The village’s new location was what is now called Old Knebworth.
