Originally a Saxon church, and with what is probably its original Saxon font, it was added to in the 13th and 14th centuries. In the 12th century it was bequeathed to the Knights of St John. It is a processional church, the nave and chancel forming one long, rising sweep, with steps between nave and chancel, and again between chancel and sanctuary and contains ancient relics. The bell tower was added in the 15th century, and later joined to the main part of the church. No two of the six bells are the same age. The oldest was cast in 1630, the most recent in 1907. They were rehung by Eayre and Smith in an eight-bell frame in 1994 and are rung regularly for services and by visiting bellringers. There is a fine organ, re-built in 2000 by Saxon Aldred. A new sound system was installed in 2013, and plans have been drawn up for the re-ordering of the church. In addition to regular services the church is often used for concerts and recitals enjoyed by many from our local community and further afield. St Mary’s Church also holds a series of three Concerts with a soup lunch in the Autumn. Every 3 December carols are sung around the Christmas tree in Standon High Street and there is a decorated Christmas tree competition. The Friends of St Mary’s (FOSM), an independent charity, was set up in 2000, and makes grants to the PCC for particular projects for the preservation and restoration of the church building. The extensive churchyard is maintained by another Friends organisation (FOSC), not independent of the church, the work generally being done by members of the church and of the local community. See SNP4 Environment Report St Thomas of Canterbury Roman Catholic Church, Puckeridge https://parish.rcdow.org.uk/oldhallgreen/ A small chapel of 1926 and linked to St Edmund’s church at Old Hall Green. St Edmunds Church Old Hall Green https://parish.rcdow.org.uk/oldhallgreen/ This is located in the countryside behind St Edmund’s College near Puckeridge. The architect was Arthur Young and it dates from 1911. It replaced a church of 1818 attached to a farmhouse called “Old Hall” both of which exist at the east end of the church. The old church is now used by St Edmund’s College as a gym. See SNP4 Environment Report – Non Designated Heritage Assets Pugin Chapel, St Edmunds College, Old Hall Green Thomas Griffiths came to St Edmunds in 1805 and 13 years later became President of the College. During his Presidency many improvements took place and in 1844 he commissioned Augustus Welby Pugin to draw up plans for the Chapel. Building began in 1846, but both Bishop Griffiths and Pugin died before it was completed. The main Chapel building was not completed until 1853. This building is Grade I listed. Puckeridge Evangelical Congregational Church (former) Built in 1834. Disused and converted to residential use in April 2015. The roof line has been raised and it stands in the main street very near to the Roman Catholic Church. Puckeridge Congregational Church http://puckeridgecc.co.uk/index.html In 1810 a union of the Congregational and Baptist Churches was formed for the evangelization of the villages, and Puckeridge was one of the preaching 4 stations. Prior to the erection of the Chapel in 1832, services were held in a barn at the farm now occupied by Mr. A Weir. The building was due to Mr Simpson of London, son of Daniel Simpson, M.A., author of the “Plea for Religion”. He gave the site, the pulpit and the communion service. The following year a Church was formed. St Mary Church, A Chapel-of-Ease, Colliers End https://www.achurchnearyou.com/colliers-end-st-mary/ A Chapel-of-Ease, dedicated to St. Mary and erected in 1911, at the sole cost of Ernest E. Wickham esq. of Plashes; the church contains some fine carved oak; two of the windows are stained; there are 100 sittings. See SNP4 Environment Report – Non Designated Heritage Assets Plymouth Brethren Hall, Colliers End http://www.theplymouthbrethren.org.uk/ The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church Meeting Room (Gospel Hall) is a simple building in a rural setting off the C183 just South of St Edmunds. Meetings are held every Sunday as well as on the other days of the week. A10 Christian Mission Pastors Colin and Teresa Marks 5 Schools Education Statement for Standon Parish The latest 2012-based population projections data for Hertfordshire was published by ONS on the 29th May 2014. They project an increase of 271,600 in the population of Hertfordshire between 2012 and 2037, that's a percentage increase of 24.1%. The current forecast indicates that there will be sufficient middle and primary school places to meet demand across the forecast period 2016-2020. When our Parish's children move on to Secondary Education outside of the Parish boundary – (there being no secondary schools within), this becomes more of a concern. The main secondary schools used by local pupils are in Buntingford and Bishop’s Stortford. In Buntingford Upper School (Freman College), the current forecast indicates a shortage of places across the forecast period of -29.5% by 2025, a situation which is being monitored closely by the County Council. Bishop’s Stortford, with their new housing growth are providing more educational facilities to cope with their population increase and this will help with Standon Parish flow to upper education. The County Council continues to progress plans to open a new secondary school and again the Council continue to monitor to ensure there are sufficient places available to meet local demand, working with schools locally to agree contingency arrangements in the interim. Local Current Provision for Standon Parish As schools of preference, Roger de Clare had in 2015 89 applications for school places and only 60 allocations (similar to 2014); St Thomas of Canterbury had 28 applications and only 12 allocations No Standon Parish residents were allocated to other authorities, which suggests that there is capacity for education within the county as a whole. In fact we have capacity as a county for out of County applicants which in 2015 was just under 4%. Out of all applicants to primary Education facilities in Hertfordshire over 96% were from Hertfordshire with the remainder from out of county. The figures were similar for 2014. Out of which over 81% from Hertfordshire were allocated their first ranked school. Nearly 78% of children were allocated their first ranked school for Secondary education of Hertfordshire residents. Over 91% from Ralph Sadleir and over 85% from St Thomas's gained ranked allocations to secondary schools compared to lower percentages in the previous year. 6 Standon Parish is served by the following other Educational institutions Spins Pre-School http://www.spinsnursery.co.uk/ Spins Pre-School is situated in between the villages of both Standon and Puckeridge and is based within the Community Centre in Standon which is situated in the grounds of the Memorial Field.

Today, the parish covers a large area, one of the biggest in the Hundred Parishes, incorporating the villages of Standon and Puckeridge and also the hamlets of Barwick, Colliers End, Latchford and Wellpond Green. Standon, Latchford and Barwick grew up beside the River Rib, which meanders from north to south through the middle of the parish. Puckeridge and Colliers End developed alongside Ermine Street, the old Roman road from London to Lincoln and York that later became a busy coaching route, especially serving London and Cambridge. A second Roman highway, Stane Street, ran between Colchester and St Albans, crossing Ermine Street at a Roman town whose location was close to the present northern parish boundary with Braughing, a boundary that is today largely defined by the old route of Stane Street. Wellpond Green is a relatively new residential hamlet. Much of Stane Street has become today’s A120, with a diversion that now runs to the south of Puckeridge.

  • East Herts District Plan
    East Herts District Plan Strategic March 2017 Land Availability Assessment 1.0 Introduction 1.1 National planning policy requires all Local Planning Authorities to produce a technical study known as the Strategic Land Availability Assessment (SLAA) in order to identify sites with potential for future development. The SLAA has informed work on the District Plan and Neighbourhood Planning. It has also assisted with the identification of future land supply. 1.2 The SLAA is a ‘live’ document in that it should be updated on a regular basis in order to reflect changing circumstances. Therefore, this version of the SLAA presents the most up to date position as at March 2017. 2.0 Methodology 2.1 Paragraphs 019 to 021 of the PPG identify that, when undertaking a SLAA, sites should be considered against three criteria, namely; suitability, availability and achievability. These terms are explained below. Suitability The assessment of suitability takes into account a range of policy constraints. These include environmental and heritage designations, impact on landscape and character, flooding and Green Belt / Rural Area Beyond the Green Belt. Availability A site is considered to be available if there are no legal or ownership issues which would prevent the site coming forward for development. Achievability Achievability is effectively a judgement about the economic viability of a site, and the capacity of the developer to complete the development over a certain period of time. 2.2 Having assessed each site against the three criteria, a conclusion can be reached. If a site is considered to be suitable, available and achievable, then it is regarded as being ‘deliverable’.

  • Making a Mint. Comparative Studies in Late Iron Age Coin Mould M Landon
    The Prehistoric Society Book Reviews MAKING A MINT. COMPARATIVE STUDIES IN LATE IRON AGE COIN MOULD, BY MARK LANDON Archaeopress, Oxford. 2016. 199pp, 259 black & white figures and tables, ISBN 978-1-78491-408-0, pb, £34.00 Baked clay trays containing multiple rows of similarly-sized holes are not uncommon on later Iron Age settlements in Britain and many parts of continental Europe. Over the years, these ‘pellet moulds’ have attracted a fair amount of comment, primarily with regard to their perceived role in the minting of Iron Age coinage, but research has tended to focus on using scientific analysis to identify which metals were worked in them from any residues. Their morphology and manufacture has received much less attention, however, despite being no less relevant to understanding their function. One reason for this relative neglect was the small size and fragmentary nature of most assemblages, but the long-standing association with minting also played a part, leaving mould rather stranded on the wrong side of a disciplinary divide, divorced from studies of late Iron Age metalworking at large, and a second best to the objects that were supposedly produced with their aid. For remedying this situation, we are indebted to Mark Landon and his chance discovery in 2006 of a large deposit of mould eroding out of the bank of the River Rib at Ford Bridge, in the heart of the late Iron Age complex at Braughing- Puckeridge in Hertfordshire. There had been finds of pellet mould from earlier excavations in the vicinity, but nothing to compare to the mass recovered from Ford Bridge (nearly 10 kg of mould, and 6 kg of pottery, animal bone and furnace debris).

  • Erection of 1 Dwelling and a New Access Onto the B1368 Was Refused at 50 Green End Under Reference 3/09/0442/FP
    3/14/1448/OP – Outline application for approximately 60 houses. All matters reserved except for access at Land off Green End, Braughing for Gladman Developments Date of Receipt: 23.04.2011 Type: Outline – Major Parish: BRAUGHING Ward: BRAUGHING RECOMMENDATION: That outline planning permission be REFUSED for the reasons: 1. The proposed development, by reason of its scale and location in relation to the existing village, its poor public transport connections and lack of local employment opportunities, would represent an unsustainable form of development contrary to the requirements of the National Planning Policy Framework. The proposal thereby represents inappropriate development in the Rural Area beyond the Green Belt contrary to policies GBC2 and GBC3 of the East Herts Local Plan Second Review April 2007. 2. The proposed development would represent a major extension of the village and an intrusion into the open countryside, resulting in a significant reduction in the open space between the settlements of Braughing and Hay Street, and significant adverse impacts on the local landscape and the amenity of sensitive receptors. The proposed development would thereby have a detrimental impact on the wider landscape, and the significance of the Braughing Conservation Area, and the loss of roadside hedgerows would exacerbate this harm, contrary to policy GBC14 of the East Herts Local Plan Second Review April 2007 and Sections 11 and 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework. Summary of Reasons for Decision In accordance with the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2012 (as amended), East Herts Council has considered, in a positive and proactive manner, whether the planning objections to this proposal could be satisfactorily resolved within the statutory period for determining the application.

  • Re-Thinking the Southern British Oppida
    E-THINKING THE SOUTHERN BRITISH R OPPIDA : N ETWORKS , KINGDOMS AND MATERIAL CULTURE Martin Pitts University of Exeter, UK Abstract: This article examines the role of a range of large settlements in late Iron Age and early Roman southern Britain ( c. 100 BC–AD 70) conventionally described as oppida. After reviewing current perspectives on the function and chronology of British oppida, new insights are provided through the statistical analysis of assemblages of brooches and imported ceramics at a broad sam - ple of sites. Analysis of material culture reveals distinct similarities and differences between sev - eral groups of sites, often transcending regional traditions and supposed tribal boundaries. This patterning is primarily explained by the emergence of new forms of political organization prior to Roman annexation, particularly the creation of the Southern and Eastern Kingdoms. Keywords: brooches, correspondence analysis, identity, imports, late Iron Age Britain, networks, oppida, pottery INTRODUCTION This article revisits the role of a range of settlements in late Iron Age and early Roman southern Britain ( c. 100 BC–AD 70) conventionally described as oppida (Fig. 1). The word oppida (singular oppidum) refers to large defended settlements encountered by Caesar in his military conquests in Gaul (58–51 BC), and has since entered archaeological usage as a means of labelling large enclosed settlements in late Iron Age north-western Europe. In recent scholarship the emergence of oppida in Britain has been increasingly problematized. In the 1970s and 1980s, oppida were intrinsic parts of core-periphery models, as proto-urban settlements stimu - lated by increased trade with the expanding Roman world-system (Cunliffe 1988; Haselgrove 1976).
