Issue 5 Community Magazine for Furneux Pelham & Stocking Pelham Issue 5 Community magazine for Furneux Pelham & Stocking Pelham Delivered free to all households in Furneux Pelham & Stocking Pelham WELCOME TO THE FIFTH EDITION Well that’s been a slightly unusual month, to say the least. The only place to start is to thank all those from both villages who are quietly helping their neighbours locally, whether its collecting shopping from Clavering shop, getting prescriptions from Much Hadham or Buntingford, giving food or keeping in telephone contact with more vulnerable residents. We’re not going to unintentionally embarrass people by printing a list of names, but if we did it would be quite a long one. You know who you are, and we’re clapping for you on Thursdays as well as our doctors, nurses, carers, emergency services and many more. In the same breath, we should also be thanking Lucy Bonner and her team at the Tap, for starting the shop and generally working their socks off to help the local community. We hope everyone will remember this when the pub eventually re-opens, and enthusiastically support it. In Stocking Pelham, what could better show the great community spirit there than the 75th commemoration of Victory in Europe with the ‘picnic in your own garden’? Great idea! Another great set of contributions this month, please keep them coming, the aim is to celebrate life in Stocking and Furneux Pelham. Finally, could we also ask you also to spare a thought for the vast majority of our advertisers, small local businesses, often self- employed, who are having a very tricky time to keep things going. Please support them if you can. Thank you. Contributions to: [email protected] A reminder from East Herts Council The fortnightly garden waste collection was suspended on 31st March until further notice. The general waste collection and recycling collection services will continue as normal. 2 Cover photo For many years, Furneux Pelham School celebrated May Day with a procession of the May Queen, her court and all of the other schoolchildren round the village. The Queen and her attendants walked beneath hooped flower garlands, holding posies of primroses and other seasonal flowers. The boys carried rattles and other noisemaking implements, and sounded out the pace of the march. Once back at the School. there was a crowning ceremony, displays of country dancing for parents and a maypole dance. The picture dates from May 1972. Eight years later, the tradition caught the eye of the Hertford Local History Society, and was attended by Dr Doris Jones-Baker, their Honorary Secretary. She noted “Mrs Jones and her staff are much to be commended for their splendid preservation of the old Hertfordshire children’s customs for celebrating the coming of May. One would hope this example might become the focus for a county-wide revival of a picturesque and enjoyable part of Hertfordshire history”. The maypole dance tradition certainly continued into the mid 1990s. Latest news - Recognised for Cycling Excellence Delighted to report that both St Mary the Virgin, Furneux Pelham and St Mary, Stocking Pelham have been awarded silver recognition certificates for each raising over £1,000 in the Bike ‘n Hike event run by the Beds and Herts Historic Churches Trust. Half of the funds raised is returned to the individual church involved and the other half supports the preservation and repair of churches in the two counties. Overall, the two Pelhams raised £2488.

If there were any celebrations in either Furneux or Stocking Pelham on those days they were not reported in the local newspaper. There were however celebrations in Bishop’s Stortford. “On Monday afternoon the town began to prepare for the long awaited VE Day. Flags appeared at the windows of shops, office and houses and soon the streets took on a gay and colourful air reminiscent of Coronation time. Tuesday in the evening the centre attraction was The Causeway where there was dancing on the car park, specially flood lit for the occasion, fireworks on the Castle Mound and a huge bonfire in the Town Meads. Now the black-out was beaten with a vengeance. As darkness came on the crowds grew larger and it was noticeable how many parents had brought their children to see this cheerful display of light. One street lamp in The Causeway, back temporarily to pre-war brilliance, was gazed at in wonder by the youngsters, many of whom of course had never seen such a sight before. At about 10.30pm a cascade of fireworks went off on the Castle Mound, which ringed with flares made an impressive sight and brilliantly lit up surrounding trees. Then the bonfire was lit and the occasion celebrated in the age-old manner” (Herts & Essex Observer 12th May 1945) Two months later in Furneux Pelham the children had their own celebration with an outing to Clacton and “A VE tea for the children in the school meadow with sports and bonfire was enjoyed by about 70 children besides their friends. A bountiful supply of American ice cream added to the pleasure” (Herts & Essex Observer 21st July 1945) Furneux Pelham History Group 8 A poem of our time A walk in the fields when the day is done, a time to reflect in the last of the sun. Sadness is rampant all over the world, but many good things will surely emerge.

Today, the parish covers a large area, one of the biggest in the Hundred Parishes, incorporating the villages of Standon and Puckeridge and also the hamlets of Barwick, Colliers End, Latchford and Wellpond Green. Standon, Latchford and Barwick grew up beside the River Rib, which meanders from north to south through the middle of the parish. Puckeridge and Colliers End developed alongside Ermine Street, the old Roman road from London to Lincoln and York that later became a busy coaching route, especially serving London and Cambridge. A second Roman highway, Stane Street, ran between Colchester and St Albans, crossing Ermine Street at a Roman town whose location was close to the present northern parish boundary with Braughing, a boundary that is today largely defined by the old route of Stane Street. Wellpond Green is a relatively new residential hamlet. Much of Stane Street has become today’s A120, with a diversion that now runs to the south of Puckeridge.

  • Little Hadham Parish News June 2018
    Little Hadham Parish News June 2018 Rector of Parish: Revd. Steve Bate 01279 842609 e-mail: [email protected] Churchwarden, Mrs Karin Green 01279 - 771532 [email protected] Log on to www.littlehadham.com for issues dating back to May 2006 Letter from the Rectory Revd. Steve Bate Many years ago, I was shown a letter written about me. It was written by the Diocesan Director of Ordinands – the person responsible for recommending people for ordained ministry. He’d met with me to form his opinion about my suitability for ordained ministry. “What might he have to say?” I wondered, as the letter was unfolded in front of me. There’s one word I still remember after all those years. The very first sentence of the letter began by describing me as a disciple. I was shocked! I thought the word ‘disciple’ was for special people who were with Jesus during his earthly ministry or, at least, exceptionally spiritual people. Me - a disciple? Surely not. It was the last word I’d think of using to describe myself. It got me thinking, though. It made me reflect on what it really means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. It made me realise that, strange as it may sound, all Christians are disciples – learners. We are people who are learning to be more like Jesus Christ himself. When Jesus called his first disciples to follow him, he was calling them to a life of being with him and learning from him - being his apprentices so as to become like him.

  • Issue 9 Community Magazine for Furneux Pelham & Stocking Pelham
    Issue 9 Community magazine for Furneux Pelham & Stocking Pelham Delivered free to all households in Furneux Pelham & Stocking Pelham WELCOME TO THE NINTH EDITION Welcome all to the ninth edition of ‘The Pelhams’ and in particular to our latest local advertisers, Andrew Banks and Simon Langsdale. Please check out their ads. This month, several of our reports happily suggest a tentative step forward after the 2020 lockdown. While neither village hall is able to open to individual hirers yet, both are actively planning for the future, with a refurbishment at Stocking Pelham and the imminent installation of wi-fi in Furneux Pelham. Our local school and pre-school are planning for a very different world when September comes. Both our churches too are gradually re-opening. Thank you to all those concerned who are steering these establishments through the minefield of ever-changing government guidance. Please keep your articles coming – we’d love to showcase the achievements, talents and interests of people of all ages. As ever, keep safe. Contributions to: [email protected] Cover photo The cover shows a sketch of the Hall in Furneux Pelham, signed by the renowned Arts and Crafts artist and etcher Frederick Landseer Griggs. In 1900, he had been commissioned by Macmillan and Company to illustrate the Hertfordshire edition of a new series of county guides. This sketch must have been created at some time between 1900 and 1913, (when the ‘Highways and Byways of Hertfordshire’ was published.) He used his motorcycle to travel between locations, often making two or more drawings in one day.

  • The Hundred Parishes Society
    THE HUNDRED PARISHES SOCIETY www.hundredparishes.org.uk Saturday 7th August 2021 Dear Members, You may recall mention in a previous email of the puddingstone that came to light during construction of the Little Hadham bypass. I am very pleased to report that the formalities have been completed and the bypass contractor has delivered the stone to the place prepared by Little Hadham Parish Council beside the village sign. I attach a photo Our article for September’s parish magazines focuses on hedges and hedgerows and was drafted by Tricia Moxey. I hope you will see it again in your local, accompanied by some photos. Hedges have long been a significant feature of our landscapes. They reduce erosion and offer shelter and forage for livestock and wildlife. Over the centuries, nuts, berries, and herbs from the hedgerows have provided food and natural remedies too. Woody material cut from pollarded hedgerow ash, elm and oak trees was once used as fuel or turned into useful objects. Hedges go back a long way: Roman farmers favoured a living hedge to mark out boundaries. Their value was recognised in 1567 guidance from the court at Felsted: “Any persons breaking any hedge or stealing wood be put next Sunday or holiday in the stocks for 2 hours at the least”. 50% of hedges have been lost since the late 1940s as farmers enlarged fields so bigger machines could operate, with the occasional forlorn oak tree as a feint reminder of a lost hedge. The former layout of hedges in any parish can be seen in 19th century tithe maps; comparison with current aerial maps will demonstrate what has been lost.

  • 170221 05Dc Appendix A
    Appendix A Hertfordshire County Council’s oversubscription criteria for secondary and upper community coeducational schools for 2018/19 Section 324 of the Education Act 1996 requires the governing bodies of all maintained schools to admit a child with a statement of special educational needs that names their school. Schools must also admit children with an EHC (Education, Health and Care) Plan that names the school. If there are fewer applications than places available at a school all applicants will be admitted. If there are more applications than places available, the criteria outlined below will be used to prioritise applications. Oversubscription criteria Rule 1: Children looked after and children who were previously looked after, but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a child arrangements order or a special guardianship order)*. Rule 2: Medical or Social Children for whom it can be demonstrated that they have a particular medical or social need to go to the school*. A panel of officers will determine whether the evidence provided is sufficiently compelling to meet the requirements for this rule. The evidence must relate specifically to the school applied for under Rule 2 and must clearly demonstrate why it is the only school that can meet the child’s needs. Rule 3: Sibling Children who have a sibling at the school at the time of application, unless the sibling is in the last year of the normal age-range of the school*. Note: the ‘normal age range’ is the designated range for which the school provides, for example Years 7 to 11 in an 11-16 secondary school, Years 7 to 13 in an 11-18 school .

Polling Scheme by Wards Ward: Bishop’s Stortford – All Saints PD Ref Polling Place Name/Address Current Electorate Predicted house building CD All Saints JMI School, Parsonage Lane, 2,910 Bishop’s Stortford CM23 5BE – Move to Parsonage Community Centre (CC) CE All Saints Vestry, Stanstead Road, 848 Bishop’s Stortford CM23 2DY CF Thorn Grove Primary School, Thorn 2,238 Grove, Bishop’s Stortford CM23 5LD Total 5,996 50 Proposed Changes: CD - Proposal is to send voters to nearby polling place of the Parsonage Community Centre (polling District CC) – large hall who can accommodate these additional voters plus sufficient parking places. The Parsonage already has CC electors’ one side of the hall and CD would be on the other side – this would be a double polling station due to the electorate size and being a different ward. The proposal will be trialled at the local elections in May 2019 and further feedback will be taken in to account from the electorate, polling staff, visiting officers and candidates on the day. Comments: CF will always be a double polling station due to its electorate size. We have explored alternative polling provision in the area such as at the hospital but continued use at the school is recommended.

  • Issue 12 Community Magazine for Furneux Pelham & Stocking Pelham
    Issue 12 Community magazine for Furneux Pelham & Stocking Pelham Delivered free to all households in Furneux Pelham & Stocking Pelham WELCOME TO THE TWELFTH EDITION Welcome to the twelfth and last edition of 2020 and huge thanks to all of our advertisers, contributors and deliverers who have together made it possible to deliver a magazine to your doorstep every month through this strange and challenging year. The even better news is that we’ve got this far without calling on the promised financial support of the two Parish Councils. We also expect to completely cover our costs in 2021 without their help. ‘The Pelhams’ magazine is here to stay! With the days getting ever shorter, we’ve included another sudoku and wordsearch, and also there’s an end-of-year quiz with a chocolate prize, not to mention the glory of being ‘Brains of Pelham 2020’. While many of us are looking forward to seeing family and friends - however briefly - over the festive season, not everyone is so fortunate. If you’re needing a bit of support, don’t hesitate to ask others for help if you need it. They might not know unless you ask, but if you do, most people will be pleased to be asked. If you’d rather ask someone outside our villages, you can call on ‘Herts Help’ – more details are inside. Also with this magazine, you should find a booklet about scams, written by Citizens Advice. They were unable to give us enough copies to go to every household, so – with their permission – we’ve reprinted it and hope you find it helpful.
