  • Romford Market Trading Through Time
    Romford Market trading through time 1247 Romford’s market dates back to 1247 and the reign of Henry III where it is recorded in the Close Rolls, a copy of legal letters and agreements made by the monarch “Concerning the holding of a market. It is ordered that the High Sheriff of Essex, shall proclaim publicly throughout his county and its hundreds the establishment of and holding of a market at Romford on Wednesdays, with all the liberties and customs belonging to the said market. Witnessed as above.” One important custom was the distance between markets, said to relate to the two leagues or six miles a sheep could walk in a day. 1250 In 1250 Henry III granted permission to hold an annual fair during the week of Pentecost. 1274 Romford market encouraged trade and expanded the commercial economy of Havering. By 1274 tenants of the Royal Manor of Havering had freedom from payment of tolls, not just in Romford but in all markets throughout the kingdom, though the constable of the Castle in Ongar refused to stop taking tolls from “the king’s tenants of Havering” despite royal instructions. 1350 By 1350 Romford market was well established as a supplier of goods to London which were difficult to transport very far, such as fattened animals and wood. Most craftsmen sold their own wares directly to customers with few people working solely as sellers. 1380s The market was central to the local economy but was also used by others from outside the manor of Havering. In this period a London vintner, butchers from Barking and Brentwood and a poultry dealer from London brought goods to sell.

Bedfords b. Berwick Pond c. Beam Park d. Collier Row e. Cranham f. Elm Park g. Emerson Park h. Gidea Park i. Gooshays j. Harold Wood k. Harrow Lodge l. Heaton m. Hylands n. Mawneys o. Pettits p.

SUMMARY The Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) is undertaking a review of the London Borough of Havering’s local government electoral arrangements. The outcome of the review being implemented in readiness for the 2022 Council elections. In September 2019, the Council recommended to the Commission that it retain its existing cohort size of 54 (Part 1 submission). The Commission subsequently informed the Council that it was minded to agree to the proposal. For its Part 2 submission on warding arrangements, the Council proposes a pattern of 22 wards across a total membership of 56 councillors. The proposal gives a councillor / elector ratio of 1:3728 (by 2025). The Council considers that it has drawn up a ward arrangement which the Boundary Commission will find acceptable by meeting the statutory criteria for a successful electoral review. 2. ABOUT THE BOROUGH Havering is an outer London borough and the third largest in London, comprising 43 square miles. It is mainly characterised by suburban development, with almost half of the area dedicated to open green space, particularly to the east of the borough.

  • Annual Report by the Member Champion for the Historic
    ANNUAL REPORT BY THE MEMBER CHAMPION FOR THE HISTORIC ENVIRONMENT 2019/20 Introduction I have continued to relish my role as the Member Champion for the Historic Environment in the London Borough of Havering. It never ceases to fascinate me how much history there is to be found in this part of Essex and I am making new discoveries all the time. Unfortunately, my second year in my role as Member Champion has been affected by the coronavirus. I did not achieve all I set out to do at the start of the municipal year. However, I did join some of the Friends Groups, took a close interest in local issues which affected the Historic Environment and continued to make visits. As I mentioned last year, visits are most important, not just for historical interest, but to meet the people who are working to preserve our local history. I have continued to have regular meetings and correspondence with Mr. James Rose (Parks Development Manager). As we emerge from the COVID-19 restrictions, it would be interesting to find out how the local area responded to previous epidemics, such as the influenza directly after the First World War. Who knows, one day we may be reading the Leader’s COVID-19 briefings as part of our historical archive! VE DAY 75 Perhaps most disappointingly, COVID-19 meant almost all the celebrations and commemorations planned to mark the 75th Anniversary of VE Day in May had to be shelved. However, in best Essex and British tradition, many of us kept calm and carried on, holding socially-distanced afternoon teas with family, friends and neighbours in our front and back gardens.
