Amwell View School I have little doubt the most of the people you have come in and out of the school, or have any attachment to the school, can only have good things to say about their experience. I am sure that I just and Specialist Sports College join a long list of people who say that they get a lot out of working at Amwell View.

    GB 0046 D/ECb Hertfordshire Archives and Local Studies This catalogue was digitised by The National Archives as part of the National Register of Archives digitisation project NRA 13977 The National Archives HERTFORDSHIRE RECORD OFFICE D/ECb Deeds of the Koddesdon Brewery and a number of licensed houses owned or leased by the brevors. 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.

    Hunsdon Parish Council Letter by email to: For the attention of Adam Halford Planning Dept. East Herts Council Wallfields Pegs Lane Hertford SG13 8 EQ email to [email protected] cc: Councillor [email protected] Ref. No: 3/19/1045/OUT; No: 3/19/1051/FUL; No: 3/19/1049/LBC OUTLINE PLANNING APPLICATION FOR GILSTON PARK ESTATE VILLAGES 1-6 And the Gilston Park planning detailed applications for the two access routes SUBMITTED BY PLACES FOR PEOPLE The Parish Council, as a sponsor of the joint Hunsdon with Eastwick and Gilston Neighbourhood Plan Group, endorses the responses produced by the Group and accordingly appends them to this letter as part of its submission. There are several key issues in the response that the Parish Council would like to underscore and amplify as part of its objections. These have emerged from discussions within the council and residents and following public consultations organised by The Hunsdon Area Neighbourhood Plan Group. We trust that all concerns will be clarified and refined through engagement by both the applicants and the East Herts Council with our joint Neighbourhood Plan Group over the coming weeks. Traffic Impact The route through the centre of Hunsdon from the A414 via Church Lane, Acorn Street the High Street and B180 Widford Road is widely used in both directions as a rat run to avoid congestion in Sawbridgeworth. This increases traffic through the village centre and in particular past the school. The submission is all but silent on the impact the Gilston Area will have on the route, though the EIA noise section, Table 11.4.2 appears to suggest that traffic in Church Lane will more than double on average Apart from a need for greater clarity of what would be the implications for noise and safety our community would like to know how rat runs are going to be discouraged and/or controlled firstly under the interim arrangements for access to village 6 and then looking to the wider impact as Village 7 is developed.

  • The Hundred Parishes HUNSDON
    The Hundred Parishes An introduction to HUNSDON 4 miles NW of Harlow. Ordnance Survey grid square TL4114. Postcode SG12 8NJ. Access: B180, no train station. The village is served by bus routes 351 (Hertford to Bishop‘s Stortford), C3 (Waltham Cross to Hertford or Harlow) and 5 (South End to Harlow Sats. only). County: Hertfordshire. District: East Hertfordshire. Population: 1,080 in 2011. The village of Hunsdon was registered in the Domesday Book of 1086. The village centre is dominated by the 15th-century village hall, originally a house called ’The Harlowes’ which had previously been the village school as far back as at least 1806. The hall faces one of the village’s original 5 greens, mainly now used as a pub car park but also the site of the war memorial. A number of houses in the village date back to the same period as the hall, including ’White Horses’ to the right of the village hall, while many others are of subsequent centuries. Hunsdon’s greatest claim to fame is as the site of Hunsdon House to the east of the church. The house was built in the 15th century by Sir William Oldhall, but by the 16th century the building and its extensive parks were in the hands of the Crown. Henry VIII rebuilt the house expanding it into a palatial estate in the Tudor style, complete with royal apartments and even a moat, making it into a splendid palace. Henry spent much of his leisure time at Hunsdon hunting in the well stocked deerpark. All of the King’s children lived there, Mary until her accession to the throne, Elizabeth and particularly Prince Edward.

  • 124 Wareside and Thundridge: a Countryside Walk of 6.0 Miles (10 Kms)
    The Hundred Parishes Circular Walks – number 124 Wareside and Thundridge: a countryside walk of 6.0 miles (10 kms) This countryside walk is mostly in the parish of Wareside with about a third in the parish of Thundridge. The route is a mixture of footpaths, tracks and fairly quiet lanes, with no stiles. There are two pubs in the hamlet of Wareside, after about 3 miles. Start and finish: The walk starts from a quiet stretch of Fanhams Hall Road, a fairly quiet lane that runs between the north-east of Ware and Babbs Green in the parish of Wareside. The walk starts to the east of Fanhams Hall and just south of Noah’s Ark, about 200 yards west of where the Harcamlow Way crosses Fanhams Hall Road. There is ample room to park along this lane (and there are few suitable parking alternatives along the route). Ordnance Survey Grid Reference: TL378158 Postcode: SG12 7PW (the postcode covers about half a mile of mostly uninhabited roadway). The route can be followed on Ordnance Survey Explorer Map 194. A diagram of the route is provided at the end of the description. Head east along Fanhams Hall Road – keeping to the right so as to face any oncoming traffic. Not long after passing an 18th-century house on the left called Noah’s Ark, turn left onto a bridleway signposted to “Cold Christmas 1”. This is part of the Harcamlow Way long- distance route. Follow this wide track for some distance – with time to read a little background to this area.
