It features Evvie Lynn and her favourite ex-bat Betty. Thanks to her mum, Elizabeth, for kindly sharing it with us. 3 Dear Supporters Spring has sprung and it’s time for new beginnings, fresh growth and all our latest news. Inevitably we throw the spotlight on Avian Flu, the impact of the recent DEFRA restrictions on hen keepers in backyard flocks as well as commercial farms, and the importance of biosecurity as most of us return to free ranging our hens. With Easter upon us, we explain the history of the Easter egg and have a crackingly zany interview with Choccywoccydoodah … if you haven't seen some of their amazing, fantastical creations, turn to page 32! We have competitions including the chance to win a cookery course and two nights' accommodation worth over £450 at Ashburton Cookery School! A fabulous prize! You can learn about clicker training your hens, we give you an update on our fundraising appeal for the new welfare and education centre here at Hope Chapel, and of course it wouldn't be Chicken & Egg if we didn't include a clutch of happy hens and your lovely stories. So read on for all things chickeny … Warm wishes Jane Howorth MBE Founder Chicken & Egg. Welfare and Food Together. 5 RISE & ShiNe the Eggy brekkies all round way We’re delighted to be celebrating the yumminess of free range eggs with the News launch of Harvester’s Wake Up the Eggy Harvester Way campaign in April. Harvester use British free range eggs in their dishes so the first meal of the day becomes altogether more satisfying with brilliant breakfast baps, wicked waffles and exciting eggs. Customers waking up the Harvester way will also get to hear about the British Hen Welfare Trust with Stop those our logo emblazoned on the Kids’ Cookery mosquito bites... Club pack as well as the menus. If you’re heading off on holiday this year, we have a great idea to keep the mozzies at bay – take your hens! Research has shown mosquitoes actively stay away from a room if it has a chicken in it! This theory was tested by putting volunteers (perhaps they didn’t know what they were signing up for!) in beds surrounded by untreated mosquito nets. THERE’S A FRESH THOUGHT Some volunteers had either a live chicken or chicken feathers near their bed and a trap was set up to catch any mosquitoes which flew in. The result was – you guessed it – there were FindTHERE’S Athe FRESH THOUGHT Golden Egg far fewer mosquitoes in the rooms with the chickens and feathers! So thanks to the team which carried out the research for giving us a reason to take our feathered friends with us wherever they go!

At the time of writing this article some of us have been able to let our birds free range again, but others are still cooped up (even on lovely sunny days like today), and we thought it would be interesting to give you some background on how backyard hen keepers and the egg industry coped with the DEFRA Prevention Zone restrictions put in place on 6th December. Coping at Home Suddenly our chooks were unable to enjoy the everyday activities they took for granted and being cooped up wasn’t their idea of a free range retirement. We gave you lots of information about how you could keep your hens entertained during the long incarceration, such as: • Hanging up cabbages, sweet potatoes and other veg with a piece of string through the middle Managing Commercial Flocks • Hanging up CDs – hens love shiny We all experienced the changes to routine, Keeping regular hours of light and dark, things (as budgies like mirrors) the extra bedding needed, the additional providing clean, friable litter (material the bio security and boredom busters required, hens can scratch about and dust bathe in), • Emptying small plastic bottles filled with but how about managing a flock of 4,000 and adding fibre into feed to replace the loss H5 or more during restrictions? of plant material (such as grass) all helped to N8 corn, then puncturing a few holes so the minimise welfare issues, and maintain egg A simple name with huge implications. corn could fall out as the hens moved it Farmers were advised to maintain good production.

Whilst some farmers were able to let their hens out at the end of February but others were not, Defra decided that all free range eggs should carry temporary labelling to keep consumers fully and clearly informed. Temporary signage began to appear on supermarket shelves and labelling on free range egg boxes advising shoppers that hens laying free range eggs were not necessarily able to free range due to the AI threat. Signage also appeared on processed foods that contained eggs, and it was encouraging to see that both egg industry and retailers were keen to offer transparency.

  • Statements of Significance and Needs
    DIOCESE OF CHELMSFORD DIOCESAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE STATEMENTS OF SIGNIFICANCE AND NEEDS GUIDELINES TO ASSIST PARISHES Revised April 2015 STATEMENTS OF SIGNIFICANCE AND NEEDS INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Faculty Jurisdiction Rules 2013 state that ‘where significant changes to a listed church are proposed’ the applicant for a faculty (usually the parish) should provide the DAC with a Statement of Significance and a Statement of Needs. 1.2 The Statement of Significance is defined as ‘a document which summarises the historical development of the church and identifies the important features that make major contributions to the character of the church’. 1.3 The Statement of Needs is defined as ‘a document which sets out the reasons why it is considered that the needs of the parish cannot be met without making changes to the church building and the reasons why the changes are regarded as necessary to assist the church in its worship and mission’. 1.4 The Statement of Significance and the Statement of Needs are two separate documents, one balancing the other. 1.5 Although Statements of Significance and Needs are required by the DAC, they will also be of assistance to Historic England, the Church Buildings Council, the national amenity societies, local authority, and other interested parties who may need to be consulted; and also to any charities or other grant-making bodies who might be approached for funding. Decisions may be made by people who are unable to visit the church in person, and all the information they will have will be what is contained in the Statements.

Geology, Location & Landscape Geology Fig 1A Blackwater Bridge The bedrock of Maldon District is London Clay; a silty clay deposit laid down in a warm sea some 55 million years ago, and is up to 150m deep. The geology of our area is complex, being dominated by subsequent deposits from the glaciers and rivers that have criss-crossed the region over the past 0.5 million years of the Palaeolithic period. These deposits may be found in our gardens and comprise: brickearths, glaciofluvial sands and gravels, head deposits, and alluvium. The last ice sheet stopped some tens of miles south of here - c.11,000 years ago - the start of the Mesolithic Age, before retreating back up north. Location and Landscape The western boundary of Wickham Bishops Parish roughly follows the Blackwater River (Map 1 Wickham Bishops Parish Boundary). East of the river the land rises quite steeply to a height of 77m, where the main part of the village is situated. The total area of the parish is approximately 762 hectares. There are two roads passing through the parish from Witham, which is 2.5 miles NW of the village, to Maldon which is 3 miles to the SE.
