The evaluation, which was commissioned by Welbeck Strategic Lannd II LLP, was carried out in compliance with a condition attached to outline planning consent for residential development. The evaluation comprised the excavation of sixteen 30m trial trenches. Fieldwork to the immediate west of the site at Sturrick Farm revealed ditches forming a droveway and associated enclosures of probable Bronze Age or Iron Age date. The evaluation was undertaken to investigate the possible continuation of the droveway. Further to confirm the presence or absence of archaeological remains within the site and to consider the possible relationship of any remains revealed with cropmarks recorded in the wider surrounding area. The evaluation revealed a low concentration of ditches and pits, producing limited dating evidence dispersed across the site. Notably, the possible continuation of the north-west to south-east aligned droveway recorded at Sturrick Farm was identified in the south-western corner of the site. A series of north-east to south-west aligned ditches were recorded at right angles to the droveway and may represent the remnants of an associated prehistoric field system. Additionally, a possible ring ditch was recorded within the norther part of the site and although no dating evidence was recovered this may represent broadly contemporary 2 © Cotswold Archaeology Land west of Heckford’s Road, Great Bentley, Colcheester, Essex: Archaeological Evaluation prehistoric activity. Overall, the site is generally characterised by low-level agrarian activity of possible prehistoric date. 3 © Cotswold Archaeology Land west of Heckford’s Road, Great Bentley, Colcheester, Essex: Archaeological Evaluation 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 In February 2017, Cotswold Archaeology (CA) carried out an archaeological evaluation of agricultural land to the west of Heckford’s Road, Great Bentley (site centred on NGR: TM 1099 2222; Fig. 1), hereafter the site. The evaluation was commissioned by Welbeck Strategic Land II LLP. 1.2 The evaluation was undertaken in respect of outline planning permission (15/01820/OUT) granted by Tendring District Council (TDC; the local planning authority) for the residential development of the site along with associated development and infrastructure. In keeping with paragraph 141 of the National Planning Policy Framework (DCLG 2012) and on a recommendation from Teresa O’Connor, Essex County Council’s Historic Environment Consultant (ECCHEC; the archaeological advisors to TDC), a condition was attached to the consent requiring that: 1. No development or preliminary ground-works can commence until a programme of archaeological trial trenching has been secured and undertaken in accordance with a Written Scheme of Investigation, which has been submitted by the applicant, and approved by the planning authority. Following the completion of this initial phase of archaeological work, a summary report will be prepared and a mitigation strategy detailing the approach to further archaeological excavation and/or preservation in situ through re-design of the development, shall be submitted to the local planning authority. 2. No development or preliminary groundwork can commence on those areas of the development site containing archaeological deposits, until the satisfactory completion of archaeological fieldwork, as detailed in the mitigation strategy, which has been signed off by the local planning authority. 3. Following completion of the archaeological fieldwork, the applicant will submit to the local planning authority a post-excavation assessment (within six months of the completion date, unless otherwise agreed in advance with the planning authority), which will result in the completion of post-excavation analysis, preparation of a full site archive and report ready for deposition at the local museum, and submission of a publication report. 4 © Cotswold Archaeology Land west of Heckford’s Road, Great Bentley, Colcheester, Essex: Archaeological Evaluation 1.3 The scope of the evaluation, which comprised the excavation of 16 X 30m long trial trenches, was agreed during discussions between CA and Teresa O’Connor. It was carried out in accordance with a Brief for Archaeological Evaluation, prepared by Teresa O’Connor (2017) and an approved Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) produced by CA (2017). The fieldwork also followed Standard and Guidance: Archaeological Field Evaluation (CIfA 2014), Management of Archaeological Projects 2 (English Heritage 1991), Management of Research Projects in the Historic Environment (MoRPHE): Project Manager’s Guide (HE 2015) and Standards for Field Archaeology in the East of England (Gurney 2003). The fieldwork was monitored by Teresa O’Connor, including a site visit on 21 February 2017. The site 1.4 The proposed development site comprises agricultural land which covers an area of 2.4ha. The site is bounded by Heckford’s Road to the east, residential properties to the west and south and open land to the north. The site lies on relatively flat land between 25 to 28m above Ordnance Datum (aOD). 1.5 The underlying bedrock geology of the area is mapped as Thames Group clay and silt of the Palaeogene Period (BGS 2017). It is overlain by superficial deposits of Cover Sand comprising clay, silt and sand formed during the Quaternary period (BGS 2017). Previous archaeological work directly to the west recorded the geology as sandy silty clay with some patches of silt (CAT 2014). 5 © Cotswold Archaeology Land west of Heckford’s Road, Great Bentley, Colcheester, Essex: Archaeological Evaluation 2. ARCHAEOLOGICAL BACKGROUND 2.1 The archaeological and historical background of the site has been presented in a historic environment assessment produced by SLR Consulting (SLR 2015).

Welcome and Apologies Melvyn Welcomed those present including Dr Shane Gordon Apologies received from Barry Spake 2. Minutes of Last Meeting Agreed 3.Guest Speak – Dr Shane Gordon, GP and Chief Officer, Clinical Commissioning Group The CCG has been in place since April 2013 and is the local NHS statutory body providing hospital and community services in our area, but does not cover general practice as this is provided by NHS England. Big Care Debate – looking at the future of the health service in the Colchester/Tendring areas. 1000 people have been involved in the last 4 months. The main topics are to look at changing the way NHS listens to the people it serves and being more available, and to make local general practice responsible for health services commissioned in the area. Circumstances we find ourselves in 2014 – The Health Service is very protected with regards to funding, services not needed to be slashed as drastically as within Social Services. However the growth in funding is not as fast as the growth in need. More people not working and paying tax, the older you get more medical conditions are likely and therefore costs more money. £400 million allocated to Colchester/Tendring CCG per annum £200 million allocated to NHS England for the area per annum. Under pressure to do more with the same money, £20 million more work in new year with the same money as last year.

  • The Evolution of Puritan Mentality in an Essex Cloth Town: Dedham and the Stour Valley, 1560-1640
    The Evolution of Puritan Mentality in an Essex Cloth Town: Dedham and the Stour Valley, 1560-1640 A.R. Pennie Submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Research conducted in the Department of History. Submitted: November, 1989. bs. 1 The Evolution of Puritan Mentality in an Essex Cloth Town: Dedham and the Stour Valley, 1560-1640 A.R. Pennie Summary of thesis The subject of this thesis is the impact of religious reformation on the inhabitants of a small urban centre, with some reference to the experience of nearby settle- ments. Dedham has a place in national history as a centre of the Elizabethan Puritan Movement but the records of the Dedham Conference (the local manifestation of that movement), also illustrate the development of Reformed religion in Dedham and associated parishes. The contents of the thesis may be divided into four sections. The first of these concerns the material life of the inhabitants of Dedham and the way in which this generated both the potential for social cohesion and the possibility of social conflict. The second section examines the attempt at parish reformation sponsored by the ministers associated with the Dedham Conference and the militant and exclusive doctrine of the Christian life elaborated by the succeeding generation of preachers. The third element of the thesis focuses on the way in which the inhabitants articulated the expression of a Reformed or Puritan piety and, on occasion, the rejection of features of that piety. The ways in which the townspeople promoted the education of their children, the relief of the poor and the acknowledgement of ties of kinship and friendship, have been examined in terms of their relationship to a collective mentality characterized by a strong commitment to 'godly' religion.
