It was thought that its origins were in a school run by Elizabeth Salmon, a Presbyterian, who taught French, housewifery and polite accomplishments to girls as early as the 1630s. 1 Thomas Salmon, Elizabeth's husband, had a pew built for his scholars in Hackney Church at his own expense and added to this in 1671.2 It is BL British Library probable that Thomas and Elizabeth Salmon were jointly running a mixed school. Thomas Salmon died in 1672, and bequeathed his dwelling house with eight acres of land, and three acres in Hackney Marsh, GHL Guildhall Library to his wife. This was presumably the large house which he occupied in Clapton in 1658 and probably HAD Hackney Archives Department accommodated Salmon's school.3 His son Thomas was granted his other 'lands, tenements, etc.' and his UvIA London Metropolitan Archives dwelling house after his mother's decease.4 However, Thomas junior acquired the house within a couple 5 ODNB Oxford Dictionary of National Biography of months of his father's death in 1672.

In 1693 Benjamin Morland acquired the house. This was probably the property which had a rental value of £70 and on which Morland paid a tax of £14 in 1693.8 As Benjamin Morland had this house and the Salmon pew, it seems likely that he was a master at Salmon's school and continued the school established by them: Thomas Salmon died in 3 Hackney History Newcome 's School useful surviving document is a list of plays dating 1706, and bequeathed £100 apiece to his daughters he was known as Dr Newcome.

    QUAKER RECORDS I. Historical Background the Sect Was Founded

    QUAKER RECORDS I. Historical Background The sect was founded by George Fox about 1652. It was mostly centered in central and northern England (strongest in Westmoreland, Northwest Yorkshire and North Lancashire); expansion first into London and the southwest, Bristol, Norwich; then Scotland and Ireland and finally spread to Europe and North America. Persecution increased during the Commonwealth; William Penn was an outspoken advocate for the Quakers—in 1682 the king, Charles II, granted Fenn the right to charter a colony} and Pennsylvania-became a Quaker settlement. II. Record Sources and Time Periods Covered A. Regl;ters—The majority begin before 1669 and last until 1837. 1837-1851 registers had to be surrendered to Recording Clerk's Office, Lond:a. Before they were turned in, they were gathered at the Quake:* Society in London and duplicates were made and put into Di^^ts. Therefore, many of the pre-1837 records are to be found i.i these Digests. (85 vols.)* 'J21 Contents: birth, marriage, and death records. In 2339, use of birth and burial notes became standard—see example sheets.) B. Minute Books Contents: 1. Marriages (1/4-1/3 of all minutes) 2. admission to membership—mid-18th century 3. disownments—from outset of sect 4. removal certificates—from mid or late 18th century 5. testimonies to deceased members—from 1740-1872 Hi-fy C. Membership Records "Not until the latter part of the 18th century did accurate membership lists become general and many meetings did not commence such a list until 1836."

    HACKNEY SOCIAL RADIO – the Story So Far June 2020 – April 2021

    HACKNEY SOCIAL RADIO – The Story So Far June 2020 – April 2021 SUMMARY OF ACHIEVEMENTS During the height of the first COVID-19 lockdown, from June to September 2020, we successfully produced 15 episodes for the first series of Hackney Social Radio – a community radio show created by older people, for older people, specifically aimed at the digitally isolated in the London Borough of Hackney. As the country went into the second lockdown, we re-launched for Series 2 with the intention of supporting our community of makers and listeners for as long as we could. We were fortunate to receive funding from the Henry Smith charity and CAF and will have created 35 episodes for our second series, which ends on 14th July 2021. To date we have produced 41 weekly 59-minute radio show, which broadcast every Wednesday at 11am. Programmes are transmitted through Resonance 104.4FM, played out on their online radio player, and available for ongoing playback through Mixcloud. We enabled 178 local people to participate in the production of the show in the first series and so far, 181 people in the second series – these included the production team, feature makers, feature contributors, editors, and interviewees – local artists and creatives, community activists, volunteers, service users and experts such as representatives from Local Government, GPs, faith leaders, advisors, and community champions. Our contributors have represented the diverse communities of Hackney with features and interviews covering for example Windrush events, Chinese New Year, Jewish and Muslim Festivals. We have covered a wide range of art forms from theatre to photography and music with our 78-year-old DJ playing requests from our listeners.

    © Georgina Green ~ Epping Forest though the Ages Epping Forest Preface On 6th May 1882 Queen Victoria visited High Beach where she declared through the Ages "it gives me the greatest satisfaction to dedicate this beautiful Forest to the use and enjoyment of my people for all time" . This royal visit was greeted with great enthusiasm by the thousands of people who came to see their by Queen when she passed by, as their forefathers had done for other sovereigns down through the ages . Georgina Green My purpose in writing this little book is to tell how the ordinary people have used Epping Fo rest in the past, but came to enjoy it only in more recent times. I hope to give the reader a glimpse of what life was like for those who have lived here throughout the ages and how, by using the Forest, they have physically changed it over the centuries. The Romans, Saxons and Normans have each played their part, while the Forest we know today is one of the few surviving examples of Medieval woodland management. The Tudor monarchs and their courtiers frequently visited the Forest, wh ile in the 18th century the grandeur of Wanstead House attracted sight-seers from far and wide. The common people, meanwhile, were mostly poor farm labourers who were glad of the free produce they could obtain from the Forest. None of the Forest ponds are natural . some of them having been made accidentally when sand and gravel were extracted . while others were made by Man for a variety of reasons.

Under this legislation the Council is obliged to adopt and implement a contaminated land strategy. The Council is under a statutory duty to secure the remediation of contaminated land where significant harm is being, or could be caused to the environment, human health or to structures. The strategy relates to land contaminated by past activities only. The Council is the primary authority for the implementation of the strategy. It will consult with and take advice from other agencies, for example the Environment Agency, English Nature, English Heritage and the Greater London Authority. The strategy outlines the Councils’ approach to dealing with contaminated land within the borough. Procedures have been developed to identify responsibilities within the Council and to ensure the Council deals with land which is contaminated, in a consistent and diligent manner.

The Park attracts over 7 million visits each year largely drawn from London, Hertfordshire and Essex but given the international status of its venues increasingly from across the United Kingdom and abroad. The Regional Park lies at the centre of one of Europe’s largest regeneration areas which includes London 2012 and its Legacy, major developments in the lower Lee Valley, Meridian Water and a range of large schemes coming forward in Epping Forest District and the Borough of Broxbourne. The Authority’s adopted policies date from 2000 and, given the Regional Park’s rapidly changing context, a new approach is required. The Strategic Aims and Policies, Landscape Strategy and Area Proposals included in the Park Development Framework are designed to respond to this changing context to ensure that the Regional Park can maintain its role as an exciting and dynamic destination which caters for leisure, recreation and the natural environment over the next 10-15 years.
