The Diocese of Chelmsford Archdeaconry Profiles The Diocese of Chelmsford Archdeaconry Profiles: Archdeaconry of Barking Archdeaconry of Southend Archdeaconry of Stansted 1 The Diocese of Chelmsford The Diocese of Chelmsford is a church region of more than 1,500 square miles that stretches from the east coast to the Thames and ranges from countryside to towns and suburbs. It comprises the county of Essex, the unitary authorities of Southend and Thurrock, and the east London boroughs of Barking & Dagenham, Havering, Newham, Redbridge and Waltham Forest. Chelmsford diocese is a big, dynamic and vibrant place and its residents represent most, if not all, socio-economic groups; with a wide diversity in terms of affluence and poverty, culture, different faiths and church traditions. With a population of nearly 3 million people Chelmsford is the second largest diocese in England. There are 463 parishes and 599 churches. Nearly 30,000 children and young people attend church schools, and an estimated 100,000 young people share in assemblies, chaplaincy, clubs and youth work. The Diocese is young; created in 1914, having formerly been part of the Dioceses of London, Rochester and St Albans. It extends from the River Lea in East London, to the Essex coast and the boundary with Suffolk. That the Diocese contains such huge diversity creates a very special place that is different from most other large dioceses and creates unique opportunities and challenges for the future. 2 Archdeaconry of Barking The Barking episcopal area covers the western part of the diocese in what was originally old Essex, east of the river Lea. The Episcopal Area is named after the ancient abbey founded as a missionary centre by St Erkenwald in 666 for his sister Saint Ethelburga. Today, the Episcopal Area covers five London boroughs and extends north through Epping Forest to Harlow. It includes the deeply urban areas such as Newham, suburbs, leafy villages and new towns. It is home to the Olympic Park, Excel Centre, London City Airport, and the Crossrail corridor. It is the most densely populated of the episcopal areas in the diocese, and is larger in population terms than all but nine CofE dioceses. There are three archdeaconries in the Area: Harlow (serving Epping, Ongar and Harlow), West Ham (serving the London boroughs of Newham, Redbridge and Waltham Forest) and the new archdeaconry of Barking. The Archdeaconry of Barking comprises the outer London boroughs of Havering and Barking & Dagenham. The two deaneries are co-terminus with the borough boundaries. This area covers a socially mixed population of 400,000 in a range of settings from the urban to the suburban and rural fringes. It includes Barking Riverside, one of the largest areas of projected population growth in western Europe, centres of outer London affluence, and within just a few miles, some of the poorest and most socially deprived post-war resettlement wards. In consequence, the stock of church buildings ranges from traditional medieval churches to post-war estate churches, to modern worship centres. Some of these churches are exploring exciting redevelopment proposals to provide community hubs, social housing and a renewed Christian presence. The archdeaconry has initiated two of the three proto- Bishop’s Mission Orders in the diocese, and a number of parishes are active in tackling local needs. The full range of CofE traditions are represented in the Archdeaconry, and there are close ecumenical relationships. The archdeaconry includes six of our largest parishes, which will be a particular focus for the new Archdeacon. The archdeaconry also includes one of two CofE Secondary Schools in the diocese. In 2013 the two deaneries together paid around 90% of the parish share requested of them, which is below the diocesan average. The archdeaconry has its strengths and its challenges, and the deaneries are working to respond to Transforming Presence. Summary Deaneries 2 Parishes 34 Population 400,000 Area 15,180 hectares Church Buildings 44 Members 4,810 3 Area Team The Barking Area Team includes the Bishop and three Archdeacons, plus Continuing Ministerial Development, Youth, Mission & Ministry, Mission & Regeneration, and Lay Training advisers, all of whom work closely with counterparts across the diocese. Archdeacon’s Housing and Office A house for the Archdeacon is presently being sought in the Gidea Park area on the A12 corridor, providing good connections to Chelmsford and the Archdeaconry. A number of potential houses are currently being considered. The specification is a well maintained parsonage type house with 4 bedrooms, 3 reception rooms, office suite, garage and parking. 4 Archdeaconry of Southend The Bradwell Episcopal Area which is larger than many English Dioceses, covers nine deaneries from the banks of the Thames to the coast and north, incorporating Maldon and Chelmsford and with a population of 980,000. The nine deaneries which comprised the former Archdeaconry of Southend have been split north south so that the new Archdeaconry of Chelmsford comprises the Deaneries of Brentwood, Chelmsford North and South and Maldon and Dengie. The new Archdeaconry of Southend comprises the Deaneries of Thurrock, Basildon, Hadleigh, Southend and Rochford stretching from the Queen Elizabeth Bridge in the west along the Thames to Foulness Island in the east, and incorporates the towns of Grays, Basildon, Billericay, Wickford, Rayleigh, Hadleigh, Canvey Island and the Southend Conurbation as well as some rural villages. There is a great mix of deprivation and affluence ranging from much poverty in Tilbury Docks, West Thurrock and parts of Southend to considerable wealth in parts of Billericay, Hadleigh, Thorpe Bay and Hockley and some of the rural areas. Very large numbers commute to London by rail and road. A factor in ministering to the community is that there are three local authorities, Essex County Council and the Unitary Authorities of Thurrock and Southend. The five deaneries are served by 65 stipendiary clergy, 7 self- supporting ministers, 12 title curates and 39 Readers. Many of the church buildings were constructed post war whilst others are extremely old but quite small. There are very few large medieval buildings. Church traditions cover most of the Church of England incorporating conservative, charismatic and open evangelical, traditional Anglican, affirming and traditional catholic. There are five parishes which have petitioned for alternative episcopal oversight and several more with resolutions A or B. Seven Team Ministries and many other parishes working together means that collaborative working styles are now a vital part of the life of the Archdeaconry. Parishes work hard to cover their finances including the parish share which in the Episcopal Area amounts to over 5 million pounds. In 2012 93.6% of this was paid. Summary Deaneries 5 Parishes 66 Population 639,000 Area 52,590 hectares Church Buildings 97 Members 6780 5 Area Team The Bradwell Area Team includes the Bishop and two Archdeacons, plus Continuing Ministerial Development, Youth, Mission & Ministry, Faith in Action and Lay Discipleship advisers, all of whom work closely with counterparts across the diocese. Archdeacon’s Housing and Office A large modern house has been purchased for the new Archdeacon of Southend. The house is located between Rayleigh and Southend, with easy access to the A127 providing good connections across the archdeaconry and to Chelmsford. The house contains 5/6 bedrooms, 2/3 reception rooms, private garden and an annex/garage. The house is presently being upgraded to provide a fully equipped office suite. 6 Archdeaconry of Stansted Geographically, the Colchester Episcopal Area covers 51% of the Chelmsford diocese while containing not quite 20% of its people. The northern swathe of the County of Essex contains significant coastal communities and port towns, like Clacton, Frinton and Harwich; and Colchester itself is the sixth fastest growing borough in the country (and – at 179,000 people – is now slightly bigger than Chelmsford itself). Yet there are many villages scattered across this landscape too – usually with historic, and often beautiful, Church buildings. Multi-parish benefices are the norm here. The Area is made up of the Archdeaconry of Colchester and the Archdeaconry of Stansted. The new Archdeaconry of Stansted is the western half – and the least populated part – of this Episcopal Area. Its main travel arteries are the A120 and the M11 (although only one exit of the M11 is actually in the Area!). To the west and to the north are three other county and diocesan boundaries. Braintree continues to be a growing town of nearly 50,000 people, and 25 miles away to the north-west is the historic market town of Saffron Walden. Halstead and Great Dunmow are also major settlements. Stansted Airport handles nearly 23 million passengers a year and provides employment for many people in the region. All else is rural – from picturesque to workaday villages, involving some of the most prosperous communities in the country alongside real pockets of rural deprivation and need. There are currently 36 benefices grouped in 4 rural deaneries. In 2012 these benefices paid almost 97% of the Parish Share requested, one of the best share performances in the diocese. The pattern of ministry currently includes multi-parish benefices, a few sole cures and several established and developing team ministries. Stipendiary clergy are supplemented by a network of self-supporting clergy, lay ministers and retired clergy. The archdeaconry is at the forefront of rural mission, including piloting one of the mission weekends for the diocesan centenary, new youth ministry (resourced from the diocese’s residential youth centre, located in the archdeaconry) and rural evangelism (with a newly appointed rural evangelism adviser beneficed in the archdeaconry). Whoever joins us will find a warm welcome, committed colleagues and real diversity in both local and Christian communities, some surprising – as well as expected – challenges and opportunities, all set in the environment of understated and beautiful countryside.

  • How Do You Lose a River?
    Number 1,1, SpringSummer 2016 2015 Waypoints 1 How do you lose a river? In this paper I explore the concept of the lost river and the implications this Jonathan Gardner term has for our understanding of the history of changing urban environ- jonathan.gardner@ucl. ments. ac.uk In taking a voyage down one of the London 2012 Olympic Park’s now-filled waterways, the Pudding Mill River, charting it and the surrounding area’s diverse history, I explore how rivers end up becoming losable. Drawing on diverse methodologies from archaeology and geography and with a particular emphasis on mapping, I argue that a literal and metaphorical exploration of such a rapidly changing environment reveals a multitude of buried narratives and fluid histories. This research suggests that the labeling of a river as lost is not a politically neutral act and that, with its romantic connotations, the term may actually serve to legitimise insensitive and contentious changes to our environment. Much has been written about London’s numerous lost watercourses over the years, most notably Nicho- las Barton’s seminal volume The Lost Rivers of London [1] and more, recently Paul Talling’s London’s Lost Riv- ers [2] and Tom Bolton’s London’s Lost Rivers: A Walker’s Guide [3]. In addition to these works a large range of blogs and websites devoted to the lost rivers are continually created and updated, for example, Diamond Geezer 2015 [4]. The subject is one that seems to inspire intense interest amongst a wide range of people and would suggest that city-dwellers are curiously attracted to such forgotten or lost spaces, and in particular, the unusual juxtaposition of the natural and the urban these watercourses seem to present.

  • Episcopacy in the Diocese of Chelmsford: a New Bishop Of
    Episcopacy in the Diocese of Chelmsford: A new Bishop of Bradwell November 2017 DRAFT Contents 1. Introduction 3 2. A Vision for the Diocese of Chelmsford 6 3. Overview of the Diocese of Chelmsford 8 4. The Episcopal Areas and Archdeaconries 9 5. Role description and Person Specification 10 6. The Bradwell Episcopal Area 13 7. Working together 19 Appendix: The diocese and its people 20 1. Introduction What sort of episcopal oversight, leadership and ministry do we need in the diocese of Chelmsford? Since 1984 the answer to this question was the area system. That is, a system of oversight and governance, whereby the diocese was organised into three areas, with virtually all episcopal responsibilities delegated to the Area Bishop. This in turn leaves the diocesan free for strategic oversight within the diocese and for national responsibilities. The diocese of Chelmsford is what you might call, a small province rather than a big diocese. However, for about the same amount of time there has also been a recognition that this model wasn’t working as well as it might. The sheer size of the diocese has always stretched our leadership structures and resources. In 1989 a decision was made to create a fourth episcopal area, but this was never implemented beyond creating a new archdeaconry of Harlow in 1993. The question was raised several times and particularly by Bishop John Gladwin. Stephen Cottrell was enthroned as the tenth Bishop of Chelmsford in November 2010. He was appointed with a clear brief to help the Church in Essex and East London become more intentionally missional and evangelistic in all its ministry.

  • The Navigation of the River Lee (1190 – 1790)
    Edmonton Hundred Historical Society Occasional Paper New Series No. 36 by J.G.L.Burnby and M.Parker. Published 1978 Added to the site by kind permission of Mr Michael Parker THE NAVIGATION OF THE RIVER LEE (1190 – 1790) PREFACE As the men of the river frequently pointed out the Lee is one of the "great rivers of the realm", and it is only fitting that its history should be traced; indeed it is surprising that the task has not been carried out far earlier than this. Regretfully the story of its busiest period in the days of post-canalisation has had to be left to another, later Occasional Paper. The spelling of the name of the river has varied over the centuries. In 1190 it was referred to as "the water of Lin", in the fourteenth century as "La Leye", the cartographer Saxton seems to have been the first to introduce "Lea" to map-makers in 1576, in the eighteenth century it was not infrequently called the "Ware River" but the commonest spelling would seem to be "Lee" and it is to this which we have decided to adhere. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We would like to thank the London Borough of Haringey Libraries panel for their financial assistance in the publication of this paper. Our gratitude also goes to the Marquess of Salisbury for granting permission to reproduce the maps held in the Hatfield House Collection. A number of people have most generously helped us in the production of this paper.
