Deposited by Messrs. Boulton Sons and Sandeman for the Cannon Brewery. Inventory compiled: LAccession 162] March 1968 D/ECb Introduction This collection consists of deeds incident to the conveyance of the vhole of the Hoddesdon Brewery and all its licensed houses in 1866 and titl e deeds of some of those houses and of others that were acquired later. The expansion of Hoddesdon Brewery dates from its purchase by William Whittingstall from Rene Briand in 1781. From that date til l his death in 1803, rfhittingstall systematically enlarged the brewery*s commercial outlets by buying up a number of public houses in the surrounding district. Messrs. John Christie and George Cathrow bought the property from Vhittingstall's executors and at the death of Cathrow in 1842 it was sold privately to a new partnership of Messrs. Peter Christie, John Back and Robert Hunt. After Peter Christie's death and when 3ack and Hunt had retired to their country estates, the firm was conveyed in 1866 to Charles Peter Christie. On his death in 1898 it was turned into a public company which 30 years later was absorbed by the Cannon Brewery of London, later controlled by Taylor, Valker and Co. and now by the Ind Coope combine.

    Tewin Parish Council__ Clerk: Mrs Caroline McFarlane, 2 Badgers Walk, Tewin Wood, Welwyn, Herts AL6 0HP Tel: 01438 798969 E-mail: [email protected] Colin Haigh Head of Planning Welwyn Hatfield Council The Campus, Welwyn Garden City Herts AL8 6AE 9.3.2018 Dear Sirs, 6/2018/0158/OUTLINE - Land South of Money Hole Lane - Outline permission for the relocation of runway, erection of clubhouse,, hanger, car park and aircraft parking with all matters except access and layout reserved. Tewin Parish Council objects to this application for the following reasons: 1. Most of the proposed runway lies on an Area of Special Restraint reserved for future housing. Establishing a runway will hinder the use of the site for housing. 2. The new runway will cause a nuisance to many local residents. Although some residents are keen to see the return of the runway, many others regard the local aircraft movements, especially when flying round the training circuit, as a severe nuisance. In its previous form, the airfield received constant complaints about the noise of the aircraft. The fact that some residents enjoy the aircraft does not mean that other residents are mistaken when they perceive the aircraft as a nuisance. 3. A planning application normally considers the impact on neighbours. The impact of an airfield covers a much wider area. An outline planning application for an airfield is incomplete without information about flight approaches, flight circuits, noise contours etc. Planning decisions should aim to “avoid noise from giving rise to significant adverse impacts on health and quality of life as a result of new development” and noise pollution should be considered at an early stage – see NPPF (123) and the Noise Policy Statement for England (Defra).

  • Notes and Memoranda on Some Hertfordshire Churches at the Beginning of This Century. Mr
    29 Notes and Memoranda on some Hertfordshire Churches at the beginning of this Century. BY H. R. WILTON HALL. Mr. Cussans twenty years ago wrote:— "At Essendon Place is preserved a large collection of local sketches, the value of which it would be difficult to over estimate. They were made about the year 1797, by a schoolmaster of Tewin, named Pridmore, and are bound in nine thick volumes. The collection consists of coloured views of nearly all the Gentlemen's Seats in the 30 S. ALBAXS AND HEliTs ARCHITECTURAL AXD ARCHvKOLOGlC AL SOCIETY County; all the Churches, and principal monuments within them, together with objects of antiquarian interest, such as old stained glass, windows, rood screens, fonts, etc. One volume is devoted to the Coats of Arms of Hertfordshire families. These volumes bear witness to the fearful destruction of ancient monuments which has taken place during the last eighty years. Modern restorers have as much to answer for as the popularly abused soldiers of Cromwell, destroyers as they were. It seems incredible that scores of Churches in this County, which now possess as much Archaeological interest as the waiting-room of a railway station, should less than a century ago have been rich in brasses, stained glass, and exquisite carvings in wood and stone : yet such is the case."* In the year 1884, Baron Dimsdale allowed the Rev. Dr. Griffith to have copies taken from the collection, relating to his Parish of Sandridge. It was my good fortune to try my hand at making these copies for Dr. Griffith, and I thus had an opportunity of examining this Collection of Views to which Mr.
