It is one of eight deaneries in the Colchester Episcopal Area and one of four in the Archdeaconry of Stansted. Stansted Mountfitchet parish is a large Essex village situated some three miles north of the Hertfordshire market town of Bishop’s Stortford. The village has a mainline railway station and is close to the A120/M11 motorway junction, both of which provide easy access to London and Cambridge. Birchanger parish is a “linear” village built along the line of Birchanger Lane, situated to the south west of Stansted Mountfitchet. The parish lies in a rough triangle of green belt. Farnham parish is a small village situated in the heart of agricultural countryside, some three miles to the west of both Stansted and Birchanger and some two miles from Bishop’s Stortford. Takeley and Little Canfield parish is made up of two small but growing semi-rural villages; Takeley and Little Canfield and a number of ‘ends’ and ‘greens’. A number of new housing developments have shortened the distance between the two villages, further uniting the two parishes. All five parishes are relatively close to Stansted Airport, which does have some impact on the infrastructure of the area. Stansted & Takeley Benefice Map 3 A word from the Churchwardens The Benefice of Stansted, Birchanger and Farnham and the Parish of Takeley with Little Canfield intend to join together. This is an exciting opportunity and a new beginning for all of us. As we write this, our churches are operating under Covid 19 regulations. Since the beginning of 2020 when St John’s Stansted started streaming its service by Zoom (first from the Rectory and then from the church), some members of all five churches have logged in. Therefore we feel we are already getting to know each other and feel a connection. We have also been involved in the Connect 120 collaborative venture to strengthen and build the connections between schools and communities with local Christians and churches. All schools within the Stansted, Takeley and Great Dunmow corridor have been involved. The initiative started in 2017 and for the first two and a half years Tara, a School & Community Missioner, was employed. She has now left the project and the steering group is considering what to do next. Now that she has left, we are assessing how we should proceed for the remainder of the project. For full information about the project see the website www.connect120.org.uk In common with many churches, we are moving forward in leaps and bounds as far as our technological skills are concerned. However, it is probably fair to say that we have a lot to learn about how to reach out through social media, and some sort of co-ordinated approach to this would be desirable. In each of our parishes there are still many people who do not wish to engage with the internet, and we are aware that we need to find ways to ensure these people are still involved in the life of our churches. For the purpose of this Benefice profile, the parishes have each compiled their own sections to best represent themselves, but we have tried to give a cohesive vision of the future for our new Benefice. We are all keen to work together and with God’s help we are ready to support our new priest-in-charge in meeting the challenges which lie ahead. Cheryl McGreal (Stansted) Gary West (Stansted) Jo Wilson (Farnham) Pam Lee (Birchanger) Alan Parkinson (Takeley) Stretch Fulcher (Little Canfield) Profile compiled and approved by all PCCs January 2021 4 A Benefice Overview Our Benefice’s blessings include … The ordained and lay ministry team who are leading the benefice during the interregnum. We currently have a third year SSM curate (living in Great Dunmow) who gives three days plus Sundays to the Benefice. Stansted also has a newly-commissioned Pastoral Assistant. Takeley have a Licensed Lay Minister. The worshippers who make up our church families, including the many volunteers who help in our various activities. New housing developments offering new opportunities. Dedicated choirs, organists and musicians. Experienced church administrators. Connect 120. Good relationships with other Christian denominations. The opportunity to become involved in chaplaincy at Stansted Airport Our challenges include … How we, with the support of our new priest-in-charge, can offer pastoral care to those in need in our communities. How we can assist our new priest-in-charge to find a way to divide his/her time between us. How to create a united community within our four parishes which reflects God’s vision for us. How to nourish spiritual growth and reach out to bring others into the knowledge and love of Christ. How to encourage others to use their talents to the full. How our churches can best maintain financial viability. How to build on the success of Connect 120 and strengthen our involvement with all the schools in the benefice. How to reach out to all generations by developing use of social media. 5 Experience and Qualities we wish to see in our new Priest-in-Charge Experience…. The successful candidate should demonstrate experience or understanding of : The opportunities and challenges of ministry in a multi-church benefice encompassing different styles and traditions of worship. Growing congregations by developing an effective mission in the local community.

The M11 runs to the east of the Parish, providing a direct route south to Harlow and London, and north to Cambridge. The A120 is located two miles south of Stansted Mountfitchet village, providing good access to Stansted Airport and beyond to Braintree and Colchester in the east, and Hertfordshire and the A10 to the west.

New housing estates have regularly been developed on the edges of the settlement, incrementally increasing the size of the village both north and south of the railway line. The most recent major housing development was Forest Hall Park, where 715 new dwellings, and a new primary school have been built to the south of the village.

  • National Sample from the 1851 Census of Great Britain List of Sample Clusters
    NATIONAL SAMPLE FROM THE 1851 CENSUS OF GREAT BRITAIN LIST OF SAMPLE CLUSTERS The listing is arranged in four columns, and is listed in cluster code order, but other orderings are available. The first column gives the county code; this code corresponds with the county code used in the standardised version of the data. An index of the county codes forms Appendix 1 The second column gives the cluster type. These cluster types correspond with the stratification parameter used in sampling and have been listed in Background Paper II. Their definitions are as follows: 11 English category I 'Communities' under 2,000 population 12 Scottish category I 'Communities' under 2,000 population 21 Category IIA and VI 'Towns' and Municipal Boroughs 26 Category IIB Parliamentary Boroughs 31 Category III 'Large non-urban communities' 41 Category IV Residual 'non-urban' areas 51 Category VII Unallocable 'urban' areas 91 Category IX Institutions The third column gives the cluster code numbers. This corresponds to the computing data set name, except that in the computing data set names the code number is preceded by the letters PAR (e.g. PAR0601). The fourth column gives the name of the cluster community. It should be noted that, with the exception of clusters coded 11,12 and 91, the cluster unit is the enumeration district and not the whole community. Clusters coded 11 and 12, however, correspond to total 'communities' (see Background Paper II). Clusters coded 91 comprise twenty successive individuals in every thousand, from a list of all inmates of institutions concatenated into a continuous sampling frame; except that 'families' are not broken, and where the twenty individuals come from more than one institution, each institution forms a separate cluster.

  • Birchanger Village Magazine 1 a Census Has Taken Place in England Every Ten Years Since 1801 (With the Exception of 1941)
    Birchanger Village Magazine January 2021 Issue 216 A Beautiful Happy New Year Birchanger has never looked so good. The Christmas lights of 2020 were utterly amazing. Beautiful designs, fantastic colour combinations, every house with a different colour scheme, all of which brought people out nightly from miles around to see the spectacular show. Thank you everyone who contributed in their own and very individual ways. Displays don’t just happen. They require designing, planning and purchasing of the lights in the various colours. They may need a support Elizabeth First Place Godwin turning on the club Christmas tree structure and require hours hanging from ladders, not always without incident either, and the lights weather certainly didn't help. Selecting the winner was incredibly hard. Coronavirus meant there could be no public voting this year and so a small team of individuals was appointed to choose the winner. Each individual went all over Birchanger making his or her own individual choices based on a point system. The team then added the points together to find the top three and ranking them in first second and third place. There were so many excellent displays to choose from that finding a winner was really difficult for the team. Congratulations go to our excellent winners but also to everyone else who made the effort and put up their lights in Birchanger. Thank you all for your own individual parts in this. You collectively turned a Christmas which threatened to be a Covid washout into a memorable experience to be remembered for years to come, with apologies to those who were stuck in the nightly traffic jam of spectators.
