Maps © and database Crown copyright & Landmark Information Group All rights reserved. May 2011. 3 4 SUMMARY. This Report presents the results of the field survey of the operating railway line between Shenfield and Southminster. A companion Report is published for the two now-discontinued railway branches from Witham to Maldon, and from Woodham Ferrers to Maldon. Fieldwork was carried out between April and August 2007. The purpose of the Survey was to detail what survives of the structures of these lines and their accompanying works including buildings, bridges, embankments, cuttings and subsiduary constructions, to review the statutory designations and to suggest possible further usage for the lines. INTRODUCTION. Much of the track line and adjacent land of the two discontinued lines is in private or corporate ownership and is publicly accessible only where it is crossed by public roads and paths. Small parts have been developed by Local Councils as “Trails” as a public amenity. There are two Nature Reserves. Where building development has been permitted on the former track, some recognition of the former alignment is still recognisable by the line of streets, footpaths and land/property boundaries.

  • Parish Profile St Mary's Church, Shenfield May 2008
    The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin Shenfield, Essex Our Parish Profile Welcome to St Mary the Virgin, where Christians have learnt to love and worship God for hundreds of years Please visit our website: http://www.stmaryschurch-shenfield.org.uk/ The Diocese: A message from Bishop Stephen In the Chelmsford Diocese we believe that God is calling his church to be a transforming presence. Our vision is that the church - that is the people of God here in Essex and East London - should be a transforming presence in every one of our parishes. These are our priorities – To inhabit the world distinctively To evangelise effectively To hold ourselves accountable to one another and to God for the stewardship of the gospel To re-imagine the way we minister so that each ordained minister and each individual Christian discovers their part in God’s ministry and so that each church flourishes. To this end we are looking for priests who are excited by this vision of becoming a church which is itself transformed, and which is becoming a more visible and effective presence in the huge diversity of communities that make up this most exciting and energetic part of England. There are many challenges ahead of us. We are a diocese generously subsidised by the national church. We need to become financially self- sufficient. Leadership often seems distant. We are creating patterns of leadership that are closer to the parishes. And we are looking to develop missionary leadership at all levels of church life. Nearly half our clergy will retire in the next ten years.

A gated entrance off Hall Lane provides a vehicular right of access to the land on its eastern side. The land is approximately 500 metres from the A1023 Shenfield Road, which gives access to the Ongar/Ingrave Road, the A12 at Mountnessing and the M25 at Junction 28. The mainline railway station at Shenfield provides access to London Liverpool Street station from 24 minutes. Description Hall Wood is an attractive and extensive block of woodland, with an area of open grassland to the north side. A mixed deciduous woodland with a diverse canopy composition and trees of varying maturity, species include oak, beech, ash, alder, sweet chestnut, silver birch, hornbeam and sycamore. The majority of the woodland is clear from undergrowth, with some holly in the shrub layer and an extensive carpet of bluebells. The land is classified as Grade 3 on the Land Classification Series of England and Wales, a clay loam of the Windsor soil series. The land is reached by a hardcore track off Hall Lane over which the land benefits from a right of access for agricultural and private forestry purposes, as shown coloured blue on the enclosed plan.
