  • The Welwyn Hatfield Economic Strategy
    WE RECOGNISE THAT IT IS THE BOROUGH’S BUSINESSES THAT WILL DELIVER FUTURE JOBS AND ECONOMIC GROWTH 2 FOREWORD WELWYN HATFIELD IS AN EXCELLENT PLACE TO DO BUSINESS BUT WE WANT IT TO EXCEL To reach our goals will require strong effective partnerships across the borough and we will continue to work with our public, private and voluntary sector partners to identify and deliver a common vision efficiently and effectively. We will ensure that organisations that are best placed to deliver services are properly supported to do so, and will help to develop the infrastructure and environment that is needed to support business growth across the borough. It is the borough’s businesses that will deliver future jobs and economic growth. They will need motivated staff with the right skills; an excellent transport and digital infrastructure; the right premises in the right places; opportunities to network, identify new markets, suppliers, and specific support at different stages of their development. The council cannot deliver all these itself, but it will support organisations that are best placed to do so, leading, influencing and co-ordinating where it is most appropriate. We will ensure that departments across Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council consider the local business and economic impacts of the decisions that they make. Our regulatory services are business friendly; we develop an on-going dialogue with local business representatives, and wherever possible, our approaches to procurement and commissioning support local businesses.

  • Notes and Memoranda on Some Hertfordshire Churches at the Beginning of This Century. Mr
    29 Notes and Memoranda on some Hertfordshire Churches at the beginning of this Century. BY H. R. WILTON HALL. Mr. Cussans twenty years ago wrote:— "At Essendon Place is preserved a large collection of local sketches, the value of which it would be difficult to over estimate. They were made about the year 1797, by a schoolmaster of Tewin, named Pridmore, and are bound in nine thick volumes. The collection consists of coloured views of nearly all the Gentlemen's Seats in the 30 S. ALBAXS AND HEliTs ARCHITECTURAL AXD ARCHvKOLOGlC AL SOCIETY County; all the Churches, and principal monuments within them, together with objects of antiquarian interest, such as old stained glass, windows, rood screens, fonts, etc. One volume is devoted to the Coats of Arms of Hertfordshire families. These volumes bear witness to the fearful destruction of ancient monuments which has taken place during the last eighty years. Modern restorers have as much to answer for as the popularly abused soldiers of Cromwell, destroyers as they were. It seems incredible that scores of Churches in this County, which now possess as much Archaeological interest as the waiting-room of a railway station, should less than a century ago have been rich in brasses, stained glass, and exquisite carvings in wood and stone : yet such is the case."* In the year 1884, Baron Dimsdale allowed the Rev. Dr. Griffith to have copies taken from the collection, relating to his Parish of Sandridge. It was my good fortune to try my hand at making these copies for Dr. Griffith, and I thus had an opportunity of examining this Collection of Views to which Mr.

  • The Impact of Agricultural Depression and Land
    THE IMPACT OF AGRICULTURAL DEPRESSION AND LAND OWNERSHIP CHANGE ON THE COUNTY OF HERTFORDSHIRE, c.1870-1914 Julie Patricia Moore Submitted to the University of Hertfordshire in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of PhD September 2010 2 ABSTRACT The focus of this research has been on how the county of Hertfordshire negotiated the economic, social and political changes of the late nineteenth century. A rural county sitting within just twenty miles of the nation’s capital, Hertfordshire experienced agricultural depression and a falling rural population, whilst at the same time seeing the arrival of growing numbers of wealthy, professional people whose economic focus was on London but who sought their own little patch of the rural experience. The question of just what constituted that rural experience was played out in the local newspapers and these give a valuable insight into how the farmers of the county sought to establish their own claim to be at the heart of the rural, in the face of an alternative interpretation which was grounded in urban assumptions of the social value of the countryside as the stable heart of the nation. The widening of the franchise, increased levels of food imports and fears over the depopulation of the villages reduced the influence of farmers in directing the debate over the future of the countryside. This study is unusual in that it builds a comprehensive picture of how agricultural depression was experienced in one farming community, before considering how farmers’ attempts to claim ownership of the ‘special’ place of the rural were unsuccessful economically, socially and politically.
