Perhaps you feel that the government is doing a great job; perhaps you’re not sure but feel it should have your support anyway in this emergency; perhaps you think it’s doing a bad job and wish someone else was in charge. Whatever your personal views, support in the nation for the lockdown was that 90% supported it and 70% supported it strongly. This level of support for a government policy is usually unheard of in democratic societies. If a government gets 50% support for a policy, it’s delighted. A democracy allows for a huge range of opinion and people usually exercise their freedom to hold the opinion they think best and act upon it. Of course, we have seen people even in the lockdown act upon their opinions; people have gone to beauty spots in groups when they’re not supposed to; even government advisors have broken the rules. But overall the solidarity has been inspiring. Some of that solidarity is because we feel under enormous threat from the virus and now the lockdown is being eased, controversy is breaking out as to what is safe to do and what is not. Some of the solidarity is because of the threat not just to ourselves, families and friends, but to an institution. In normal times the NHS enjoys 70% strong support from the nation. It is seen as our most precious national resource, even when there is no pandemic. We do not want to see the NHS overwhelmed by the sick and be unable to help all those who need it. An institution that commands very little support, even in these days, is the Church. Despite complying with government directives to close buildings, conduct funerals at the graveside or in crematoria, and having to cancel weddings and christenings along with other regular activities, the Church is still there and helping those who need it. The church community is still worshipping and praying together, still meeting to conduct business and study God’s word. Our prayers for the world at this time of pandemic are constantly being offered to God and in our prayer and worship we know that God is present with us, with those who are sick, those who are caring for the sick, those who are maintaining the fabric of society and those who are looking ahead to meet future needs. God is never overwhelmed by need. Whatever our support for him, his support for us never wavers. At a time of loneliness, fear and loss, he is there to help us through the crisis and offers us hope for the future. Yours in Christ Margaret Revd Margaret Davis The Vicarage, 54 Pelham Road, Clavering, Essex, CB11 4PQ 01799 550703 [email protected] Manuden News Please e-mail items for inclusion to Alan at [email protected] or deliver to Broome Barn, Mallows Green Road Registered as a Small Society Lottery under the Gambling Act 2005 with Uttlesford District Council.

Annual Parish Meeting The Parish Council are still holding their regular meetings, albeit online. If any residents have points they would like to discuss with the Council, please contact the Parish Clerk who can arrange for you to be included in the meeting. The Annual Parish Meeting went ahead as planned on 14 May where our current Chair, Katrina Hardy, stepped down and was replaced by John Archer. Katrina has done an impressive job as Chair and will be sadly missed on the Council, but we welcome John to this new role and look forward to benefitting from his wide experience of village matters. We currently therefore have a vacancy for a Councillor – please contact the Parish Clerk for details.

    A N EXQ UISIT E COLLECT ION OF 29 BEAUTIFU L HOMES Thaxted is a magnificent Medieval town sat in the heart of Uttlesford District, Essex. Home to the distinguished the Guildhall, eminent Thaxted Church and the restored John Webb’s Windmill. Set against a backdrop of exquisite architecture Thaxted is considered to be the jewel in the crown of Essex. whittles Thaxted is a small country town with a recorded history which THAXTED dates back to before the Domesday Book. The town is resplendent in architectural interest, unique in character with a flourishing community. The town remains today what it has been for the last ten centuries - a thriving town which moves with the times, but also embraces its heritage with admirable respect. 2 Images depict local area. 3 4 A CHARMED INTIMACY Although Thaxted is a small town it satisfies the needs of modern living with the charmed intimacy one would expect from Essex’s jewel in the crown. As well as being equipped with the day to day conveniences of a post office, pharmacy, library and village shop, Thaxted offers so much more. The Star is a 15th century Inn which has now been refurbished into a modern, stylish and elegant eatery and The Swan and Maypole public houses, offer an abundance of real ales and local joviality. Just a short walk from The Whittles is Ocean Delight, a good old fashioned fish and chips shop and if you continue further into town you could experience the delectable Indian cuisine of India Villa. Thaxted also has an abundance of outside spaces; the recreation ground features a playing field, a basketball and netball court and a children’s playing area.

Previous Meeting Matters Arising Flooding: the work of the Environment Agency, Thames Water and ECC The Chairman began the meeting by expressing sympathy to all those residents who that had been affected by the recent flooding. He identified several points of real concern where attention was very much needed. These were the roadside bank at the northern end of the village, the drainage system at the top of Butt Lane; the centre and southern end of the village and the maintenance of and widening of the River Stort. There then followed a wide ranging discussion which focused on the works of the different agencies involved and the lack of maintenance of the river, ditches and drains and the inability of the drains to cope with the deluge. It was decided that an open meeting should be convened to which representatives of the different agencies would be invited in order to try to identify long term solutions. CCllr Gooding agreed to be fully involved in the meeting. There was nothing further to add at the moment on the Almshouses.

William Chaplin, a long clead pricst, was belabouring the faithful of Bishop's Stortford, who must have been celebrafing Napoleon's exile to Elba with undue vigour. His ardour was such that dre sermon was printed; its nessagc basically could be taken to say '"Thou shall not go poaching, for it leadeth thee into the sin oI housebreaking, and lrom thence 'tis but a step to MURDER. Witness the recent events at Berden." I quickly decided that it would be necessary to locate Berden and this was easy. The village lay on a back road between Newport and Bishops Stortlord. I l.rad promised an article lor Nenpofi News, and suddenly I felt an afticle coming on. It took but a moment to locate the Berclen parish register and I soon found the entry for Henry Trigg, aged 36, shoemaker, The Street, Berden, who died 25th March 1814. A star at the bottom ol the page indicated a handwritten note daLed 1899: "His headstone states that he was murdered." I beat a hasty path to the nearby librarl and swiftly ordered a copy of the Chelm{ord Chronicle for 1814.
