    CASSIOBURY PARK Watford, Hertfordshire

    HERITAGE CASSIOBURY PARK Watford, Hertfordshire CLIENT: WATFORD BOROUGH COUNCIL VALUE: £5,400,000 CONTRACT PERIOD: 69 WEEKS This 18 month-long scheme saw works take place across what is, at 190 acres, Watford’s largest public open space. Attracting around 2 million The newly refurbished Cha Cafe visitors a year, Cassiobury Park’s historic importance was recognised in 1999 when it entered at Grade II in the English Heritage’s Register of Parks and Gardens of Historical Interest. The project, on behalf of Watford Borough Council, was made possible by funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund and Big Lottery and incorporated: • The careful restoration and relocation of a Grade II listed Hill and Smith Bandstand from the Town Hall back to its original home in the park • Refurbishment works to the existing Cha Cafe including the creation of a new external playground and surrounding paving/ landscaping works • The creation of a new entrance to the park which features a “footprint” of the old gatehouse laid out in the cobblestones • Restoration of the former Mill to Cassiobury House, the house itself was demolished in 1927 The final phase was the construction of a eco-friendly Hub Building and the modernisation of existing paddling pools in the heart of the park. Set into the landscape the Hub is finished with striking CorTen weathered steel cladding and features a cafe, exhibition rooms, educational facilities, changing facilities for the nearby sports pitches, toilets and office space for park staff. Living Sedum roof on the Hub Building An environmentally friendly approach was adopted from the outset to ensure the construction process was optimised and the finished build was as sustainable as possible.

    WHERE GATES ONCE STOOD by Ian Welland

    WHERE GATES ONCE STOOD By Ian Welland William Cross lit his lantern and bid a passer-by good day. ‘You take care now Jack, these nights are drawing in fast.’ ‘You too Will. See you at the Tantivy?’ ‘Not tonight; his Lordship wants me to keep watch on some poachers over at Grove Mill.’ William noticed the warm autumnal feel that had dominated September, had been firmly replaced by a rasping air that was seasonally moving the park toward winter’s veil. The leaves, golden and crimson, were now felled. The ground, inky and damp. William pulled his thick collar up around his neck and tucked his scarf securely into his coat. Making his way to the small gates on the far side of the park, he called to a stranger gazing from the bandstand toward the River Gade. ‘Sir, time to take your leave. If you want Watford Met, I’m about to close the small gates.’ ‘No thank you Watchman,’ said the stranger. ‘For I seek lodgings in town.’ ‘In that case, I will come by and light your way to the ramparts.’ After securely locking the small gates, William made good his promise to the stranger by lighting their path toward the triumphant castle-esque rampart gates that led to the town. ‘These gates were put ‘ere when Great Britain joined Ireland in an act of union. ‘Tis said that King George himself admired these gates; so much so, he wanted a similar archway for Buckingham Palace.’ William chuckled. ‘Probably old wives tale, but I like it.’ ‘They are magnificent,’ said the stranger.

    Watford Colosseum Management Contract Watford Borough Council

    Watford Colosseum Management Contract Watford Borough Council Direct Market Engagement Watford Colosseum Opportunity Document Watford Borough Council would like to invite suitable and experienced orgainsations, to participate in a Direct Market Engagement Exercise. This process will involve discussions regarding the proposed development works and new management contract of the council’s receiving and touring theatre called Watford Colosseum. The council have developed this Opportunity Document to provide theatre operators with some background information regarding the venue and the future building and contract plans. Introduction to Watford Watford is an urban borough in South West Hertfordshire, on the edge of the East of England region, and to the north-west of London. It covers 2,142 hectares (8.3 square miles), and is the only non-metropolitan borough wholly contained within the M25. Watford is the largest town in Hertfordshire and the centre of a sub-region serving over 500,000 people, living within a 20 minute travelling time who look to Watford as the go to place for shopping, leisure, culture and entertainment. We are also home to around 5,000 businesses and 100,000 jobs. This brings an amazing energy to the borough Whilst it does not have a common boundary with London, in terms of its regional profile and its young and diverse population (currently circa 96,700 - Office for National Statistics (ONS): 2017 mid-year estimate), the borough has much in common with the energy and dynamism of the capital. However, one of Watford’s key strengths is that retains its own strong identity, with a long and varied history as a market town and a much-loved premier league football team.

    CPSO METHODIST CHURCH NEWSLETTER Lent/Easter 2020 Minister’s Letter – Journey into Lent Our Lent journey begins! We make our way with Jesus towards Jerusalem and the Cross. This year we are exploring that journey and the places en-route through our Lent Group “Places on the Way”. We are stopping off at a village wedding in Cana, climbing new heights at the mount of Transfiguration, finishing up at the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem as Jesus makes his way to Golgotha. We will be exploring what the journey meant to Jesus and the journey we make this Lent. (See later in the newsletter for details) Following on from the soap cross, this Lent I am asking for you to make pom- poms – brown wool pom-poms of various sizes and shades of brown. Make as many as you can during the six weeks of Lent and then join the team putting the cross together. (More information to follow) Maundy Thursday we are still going to gather for a shared meal and worship in the small hall at Bushey and Oxhey Church but this year it will be a ‘bring & share’ supper (details to follow). Finally, Good Friday, as churches together in Bushey and Oxhey, this year we are trying something slightly different. During Passiontide you will be asked to take some purple ribbons and tie them in prominent places (purple being a symbol of the passion). We will gather outside St. Andrews at 9.30am for a short act of worship before walking (or driving) down to the small park opposite St Peter’s for another short reflection.

But as you wend your way through the golf course and over the bridge nothing prepares you for the commanding Georgian manor that comes into view sitting atop the hill. Set in 300 acres of rolling Hertfordshire countryside, this former home of the Villiers family – the Earls of Clarendon – has a rich history dating back to at least the 1500s, though there is archaeological evidence on the grounds of Bronze Age pottery. Attracting T the aristocracy and artists alike, painter George Stubbs regularly graced its grounds, inspired to create his famous equine portraits. Towering over the terrace today is a beautiful black walnut tree, one of the first to be brought to Britain and presented to the Earl of Clarendon as a sapling in the 1770s by the great explorer Captain James Cook. When the fifth Earl became secretary and aide to Queen Victoria in 1846, he decided to throw lavish house parties for the Queen and British gentry who would travel up from London for the weekend parties – a new phenomenon which Te Times described as ‘weekending’. However, just before the Great Depression, Te Grove suffered a downturn as the Villiers family was forced to sell up to reduce the burden of estate tax. Te mansion was used variously as a college of nutrition, riding and boarding schools, before it was requisitioned as the secret headquarters for the railways during World War II.
