  • History of St. Francis Church Silver End
    HISTORY OF ST. FRANCIS CHURCH SILVER END The building was originally an Essex Barn, built between 1690 and 1750 and belonging to Grooms Farm. It was bought by F I Crittall when he built the new village in 1926 to house the workers for his window factory. The barn was converted to serve as a church for the Church of England Community and was dedicated in 1930. The main beams of the barn were discovered in 1982 to be Scandinavian timber. From 1930 to 1982 the ceiling had been a deep midnight blue with gold stars and the beams were painted red with gold detailing. In 1982 the ceiling was re-painted to its current pale blue with some of the original gold patterns retained and the red paint from the beams was removed. In 1982 the kitchen and toilets were added in what had been a cow shed on the side of the barn. The main entrance to the church was originally in the centre of the building where the barn doors would have been opened on both sides to gain access and to let air flow through during harvest time. The original hinges and smaller church entrance door, now blocked up, can be seen from the outside. The entrance was moved to its current location in 1968. The way building is sited means that the congregation faces the widow to the south and not the east as the normal convention. The church and the land up to the road path and footpath running along the north end of the building is held on a 999 year lease from Braintree District Council.

It monitors the period from 1st April 2006 to 31st March 2007. 1.2 A key objective of the new planning system is that local development documents will be ‘spatial’ rather than simply land-use plans. They will deliver sustainable development objectives, consider the needs of communities and key spatial drivers of change, facilitate partnership and focus upon implementation. 1.3 The evidence base upon which LDDs are based, requires the review of the following matters, which are set out in the monitoring report: i.
