Save Our Stebbing Stebbing Scene Your Village — Your Magazine Edition No: 143 Autumn 2017 As a friend of mine once said, “It’s getting a bit back-endish” - meaning that autumn is once more making an entrance. Sadly, the villagers of Stebbing are fending off a gathering darkness of another kind, as our elected representatives in Uttlesford demonstrate they have no intention of representing our interests, or our wishes. It is unfortunate that it is two years until the next district elections. Those councillors, who have too little respect for democracy to think they need to reflect the wishes of their electorate, will not be forgotten though - we can make sure of that. Thanks to Tim Gates for the above photo of Church End showing how much we have to lose. Richard Foot, Editor 1 SAVE OUR STEBBING Public Meeting 27 July 2017 by Jackie Kingdom The Old Friends Meeting House was full for the public meeting held by the Parish Council’s Planning Committee on Thursday 27 July. Many people were concerned at the prospect of Uttlesford District Council’s (UDC) recommendation to build a ‘Garden Community’ of, in total, 3,500 houses on Andrewsfield and Boxted Wood and abutting Braintree District Council’s (BDC) proposal to create the same on its boundary to Stebbing with 10,000+ houses. This would result in a new town of over 14,000 houses (Stebbing currently has just over 500). Jane Goodwin, Chair of Stebbing Parish Council, opened the meeting. Chris Cant gave an account of the process so far and described the threat to Stebbing, as we perceive it. She reminded everyone that UDC’s Public Consultation is open until 4th September ’17 and urged people to take part. This is very important, for whilst we feel UDC Planners do not listen to our well-reasoned arguments, they will be looked at by the Government Planning Inspectorate, who have the final say on local council plans. Does Stebbing want this development? According to those present, NO! In the recent ‘Neighbourhood Plan for Stebbing’ questionnaire, 4% of people supported the proposal. Over 90% of the village said they did not. At the meeting, a resident described very eloquently how she and her family had moved to Stebbing wanting a rural life, away from the pressures of town. They had worked hard for their home and accepted inconveniences of not having a shopping centre and services nearby. 2 The overwhelming view of the meeting was that Stebbing people want to fight these proposals. Following lively discussion, it was agreed the Parish needs expert help in fighting the proposals from both District Councils. Stebbing Parish Council will take the lead in an appeal to finance an expert planner to make our representations to both councils and, if necessary, to the Planning Inspectorate. Following the Meeting – update: Stebbing Parish Council (SPC) held an Extraordinary Meeting, 3rd August ’17, where the following was approved : 1. That Stebbing Parish Council will take the lead in the village’s opposition to the proposed ‘West of Braintree’ development. 2. That Stebbing Parish Council will provide an initial £2,000 to an appeal towards the cost of engaging a professional planner. Many people are responding to the appeal and donations are growing steadily. You can donate by: • Cash (See Parish Clerk’s letter on page 57 for details of where to send it) • Cheque made out to ‘Stebbing Parish Council’ • Bank transfer to sort code: 20-19-95 account number 40339237 - please use ‘SOS’ followed by a dash and your surname /initial as the reference. The Parish Council has appointed an expert planner who will put SPC’s case for the UDC Consultation. He will also act for Stebbing at the next stage of Braintree DC’s process. We realise this is just the beginning of a long process. At every turn, we will fight for Stebbing. Please continue to support the Parish Council, the elected body, both practically and financially. YOUR VILLAGE NEEDS YOU! If you want to donate for the fight, and are able to, then please do it now!

Make no mistake, the quaint labelling of this development as a ‘Garden Village’ belies the reality; it is an order of magnitude bigger than a village and the plans show little provision of anything ‘garden’. You may have seen the signs around Stebbing proclaiming ‘NO to West of Braintree’. There is a tendency that, whatever is proposed by one group will be objected to by another, sometimes out of NIMBYism, sometimes as a matter of principle and sometimes with good reason. SERCLE is a campaign group highlighting the woeful inadequacy and inappropriateness of the development, West of Braintree, and with very good reason. The formal response submitted by SERCLE can be viewed on the website www.sercle.org.uk, where the realities behind the mythical benefits and assumptions supporting the development are discussed and discredited. If you read the response (and you really should) you will hopefully appreciate why the opposition to this proposal is a serious and valid concern for what such a massive building program will do to the small villages caught up in the sprawl. If you live in Stebbing (or the neighbouring villages) and actually like it, then it is your responsibility to oppose those wishing to capitalise on the need for more housing by plonking them wherever there is a bit of green space. Of course we need more houses, but every house needs a wide range of infrastructure and support services – the WoB proposal totally disregards these factors by imposing a disproportionate volume of properties where there are already barely adequate services. So how do we prevent it? By demonstrating, with valid and credible arguments, that WoB is not a suitable location for such a major development. The only real way we can do this is by hiring professional representation to assemble a coherent and compliant presentation of the true facts when the planning decisions are made. To this end SERCLE has created a crowd-funding page where you can donate to assist in financing this endeavour. https://www.chuffed.org/project/33402 SERCLE has made an agreement with Stebbing Parish Council to pool and share our efforts and resources to avoid duplication because, even though we are approaching the issues from different perspectives, our goal is a common one. Please support this effort in any way you can. Peter Finlay www.SERCLE.org.uk https://en-gb.facebook.com/Sercle.org/ 5 A Message From Our Vicar Dear friends I trust you have all had a good summer, even if we did get a little damp some of the time! As we return this month to school, college and work, I want to share some great news with you, which will benefit the ministry of all of the Pilgrim Parishes. I also want to remind you of a couple of other important events across the parishes, which may be advertised elsewhere in these pages. So the great news is that we have appointed a part time administrator for the Pilgrim Parishes, who will act as a communications and administrative hub for the ministry team, wardens, church councils and other relevant bodies across all our villages. During this month she will be receiving induction training and we will make her contact details more widely known once the office is up and running. She will become the contact point for baptisms (more of which next issue), weddings, funerals and other enquiries, as well as greatly alleviating the administrative burdens of the clergy. This post is initially funded over 5 years, with the help of a grant from the Diocese of Chelmsford, but the local churches will eventually be funding it entirely themselves. If you would like to know more about how that works, do drop me a line. Now, just when you thought the season of fetes and festivals was over, I want to remind you about a few more in the coming weeks. Don’t forget about Tilty Flower festival over the weekend of 30th September -1st October. It really is a great event, with stalls, flower displays, a concert, Thaxted Morris Men, all topped off with the 5 Parishes’ harvest festival in Tilty church on the Sunday morning. And don’t miss Stebbing Village Fete on Sunday 24th September. A last hurrah for the vintage cars, show ring, beer tent cake stall and raffle; it really is a classic English fete. That Sunday is also the day of the Salings Harvest Festival, at Little Saling church at 11am (note the change from the usual time). I really hope you can enjoy being part of all of these events. With every blessing, Tim Tilty Flower Festival - September 30th and October 1st The Flower Festival is the main fund-raising event for St Mary The Virgin Church, Tilty, and this year takes place over the weekend September 30th and October 1st. The Church is a Grade 1 listed building of outstanding historical and architectural significance. It was originally the gatehouse chapel of Tilty Abbey, a Cistercian Abbey founded in 1153, the remains of which can be seen in the field behind Tilty Church, together with English Heritage information boards depicting life in the Abbey.

  • Great Bardfield
    The Hundred Parishes An introduction to GREAT BARDFIELD Location: 7 miles northeast of Great Dunmow. Ordnance Survey grid square: TL6730. Postcode: CM7 4SD. Access: B1057. Buses 9/10 to Braintree (Mon-Fri), 16 to Chelmsford (Mon-Sat), 17 to Saffron Walden (Tuesday and Friday only). County: Essex. District: Braintree. Population: 1,227 in 2011. The parish of Great Bardfield lies on the southern aspect of the River Pant, just a few miles upstream from Braintree where it becomes the River Blackwater. Great Bardfield is a place of considerable historic, architectural and cultural interest. Many have considered it the quintessential English village, not least the group known as the Bardfield Artists, many of whom chose to settle here in the period 1930s to1950s. Perhaps the best known of these artists, Edward Bawden, dedicated a series of 16 lithographs, ‘Life in an English Village’, to the shops and workplaces of local tradesmen and women, and in doing so has preserved a record of a now vanished way of village life. The war artist Eric Ravilious (whose wood engraving of Great Bardfield Church appears at the top of this page) spent some years here, as did the ‘Colonel Blimp’ cartoonist David Low who lived in Serjeant Bendlowe’s Cottage (seen here) and Marianne Straub, some of whose textiles are retained in the Warner Textile Archive in Braintree. There were numerous others, and a series of ‘open house’ exhibitions during the 1950s served to put Great Bardfield on the national cultural map. Much of the work of the Bardfield Artists can be viewed today at the Fry Art Gallery in Saffron Walden.

Residents are certainly spoiled for choice if they wish to participate in village life. I have made a few changes to the layout of the mag—mostly regarding size of text which I know has been an issue for some. If I have got it wrong—no doubt you will let me know! I’ve added a crossword with a Stebbing flavour , and although largely cryptic, I’ve tried to include a few easy ones to get people started. It would be good to get some different setters if anyone wants a go. Read, enjoy and have a very, very good Christmas. Richard Foot Editor 1 British Legion Poppy Appeal 2011 On Sunday 13th November 2011, thousands of people throughout the country at- tended parades, services and wreath laying ceremonies to remember those who have lost their lives serving their country. It used to be just people affected by two World Wars but as our troops continue to serve in countries like Afghanistan and Iraq, awareness has grown and the numbers swell. In Stebbing, Remembrance Sunday is also recognised by the Grange Farm and Dunmow Runners annual Stebbing 10 mile road race.

    Stebbing Scene Your Village — Your Magazine Edition No: 130 Summer 2014 Stebbing Scramble on Monday 5th May The annual Stebbing Scramble (see more overleaf) is one of the many events which tell us that the busy summer calendar is building once more. Then on the 11th May came another ‘boys and their toys’ event in the form of a Tractor Road Run in aid of Farleigh Hospice. Thanks to Dick Hughes for the report and photos - also over on page 2. In an attempt to brighten up the magazine we have added a colour centrefold and, to kick off what I hope will be a regular addition, the school have put together some impressions of their Community Month. We hope you will enjoy the modest splash of colour we have been able to add. Your Editor’s life has already been brightened up by the welcome addition to our small team of Karen Howe. She will be taking over from Jackie Kingdom as Deputy Editor and taking on responsibility for our advertising - more of Karen on page 3 (which unaccountably caused her some amusement). Richard Foot Editor 1 Classic Scrambles in Stebbing Dunmow and District Motorcycle Club was formed in 1951. Early events included Trials, Grass Tracks and Scrambles. The Scrambles have always been held at Stebbing, although the track is now on the opposite side of the road to the original.

    LETTER FROM THE EDITORS Plenty going on in the Salings! The arrival of autumn won’t see any letup in our social activities this year - on page 6 of the magazine you can read about the Salings So- cial event on 14th September. As 73 of you said in the Residents’ Survey last year that you missed the pub, we are expecting a good turnout! If that doesn’t appeal, the Camerata Singers, advertised on page 11, are leading Evensong later in the month at St James. The results of Braintree District Council’s governance review have also been announced, notably: 1. To extend the Parish boundary of Great Saling to include the unparished area of Bardfield Saling 2. Increase the number of Parish Councillors from 5 to 6 3. Rename ‘The Salings Parish Council’ So we are pleased to see that BDC have caught up with this maga- zine! Meanwhile, the Millibar and Clubroom at An- drewsfield have now been registered as As- sets of Community Value by both Uttlesford and Braintree District Coun- cils, and so join the White Hart Tearooms in Great Saling which have the same designation. So we trust you will enjoy reading this magazine and take part in the various events which it advertises.

  • STEBBING PARISH COUNCIL Please Note That the Parish Council Website Has Moved to a New Address
    StebbingStebbing SceneScene Your Village — Your Magazine Edition No: 123 Autumn 2012 Those of us who are not great lovers of sport have found few places to hide this summer—and Stebbing Scene provides no refuge as the villagers of Stebbing recount their Olympic, and other, sporting exploits. A particular thank you in this respect to Judith Jolly (pictured above) for the way she conveys her enthusiasm when describing her role as Team London Ambassador (what a title!) on pages 31- 32. There are more pictures of colourful outfits and sporting encounters on the inside front and back pages and even the caption competition has been subpoenaed to attend the court of cricket. Thanks to The Vintner for another amusing annual report on the Church vs. Stebbing match. A big thank you to Michael Kingdom and Margaret Rufus for providing sustenance to those with other interests, and of course to all the usual contributors—without whom it wouldn’t happen. Richard Foot 1 I never thought I would wear a Stella McCartney outfit. London 2012 - what an exciting event! When they called for volunteers I thought, “Yes this is an opportunity not to be missed”. The selection process started in 2010 and I was lucky enough to be selected as a Games Maker. My role – Heathrow terminal 1, ensuring athletes, officials etc. reached their destinations safely. Did we lose a bus? Certainly not - the driver was using his initiative and taking our visitors on a tour of London! The other volunteers were great fun, from all over the world and all walks of life.

  • 119 Great Dunmow and Stebbing - 9 Miles (14 Kms)
    The Hundred Parishes Circular Walks – number 119 Great Dunmow and Stebbing - 9 miles (14 kms) This clockwise walk passes through attractive countryside with explorations of parts of the town of Great Dunmow and village of Stebbing. A shorter walk, number 117 covering 2.8 miles, focuses just on Stebbing and covers some of this route in the opposite direction. Caution: about one mile of the route, approaching Merks Hall and Dunmow towards the end, is across fields that can be muddy or even ploughed. The walk is fairly flat. The first half is largely on well-surfaced tracks, and the second half mainly along paths including a long straight stretch of cross-field path that can be heavy going, especially after rain. There is one stile. There is a choice of eating places in Great Dunmow and a pub in Stebbing. Start & Finish: Public Car Park, The Causeway, Great Dunmow, Essex Grid Reference: TL628225 – Postcode CM6 2AA. Public toilets in Car Park. The route can be followed on Ordnance Survey Explorer Map 195. A diagram of the route is provided at the end of the description. Leave the car park beyond the toilets, through the gate on the left. Proceed with a hedge on the left towards a seat about 100 yards distant. Shortly before the seat, bear right along a straight tarmac path across a playing field towards the church. The path becomes a roadway and soon meets Church Street (B1057). Turn right, passing the Angel and Harp pub, and soon, where the view is clear in both directions, cross the road with care.

    Stebbing Scene Your Village — Your Magazine Edition No: 131 Autumn 2014 Bringing Home The Harvest! Thanks to Curtis Walsh @ rarebreedphotography - more on the inside back cover Summer has flown by again and autumn is already making itself known, with dew on the grass and some chilly nights. It has been an eventful summer though, especially in the sporting arena, and I hope you feel we have captured enough of the flavour of events in this issue. Many of us watched the local stage of the Tour de France but it took a Yorkshireman to head north and record his experience of Le Grand Depart - and thanks Ben for sharing it with us. I'm sorry that this little space does not allow me to individually thank the many others of you who contribute - but there would be nothing without you! The harvest photos were a pleasure to receive and if other villagers would like to send me some autumn pictures by the middle of November perhaps we could have a centre spread of the best. Richard Foot Editor 1 Bran End Celebrates! The community of Bran End Fields and their families gathered together on Saturday June 21 2014 to celebrate 60 years of the development of their homes. Some have lived there since 1954, when the houses were built, and have raised their families during their time in this road. Some families moved from London and commented on thoroughly enjoying seeing the green fields and countryside around the area. Oral history was gathered in a series of interviews on the day on behalf of the Stebbing History Society - including memories of 'moving-in day' through until the day their youngest child left home.
