Take 2 Timothy for example. The whole letter is set against a very discouraging background of imprisonment and widespread apostasy. Or take 2 Corinthians. In chapter 1, Paul talks of being ‘so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself’ (verse 8). But as he looks back on a dreadful time, he concludes that ‘this was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead. He delivered us from such a deadly a peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will deliver us again’ (vv 9-10). As we come towards the end of the third lockdown, I’m very conscious of the unremitting pressure on church leadership teams to keep ministering online, while individual members have to balance this with care for their families, and all in the relative isolation of lockdown. On top of this comes the need to plan for a changed future when there are still so many unknowns.

  • 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.

  • Pick of the Churches
    Pick of the Churches The East of England is famous for its superb collection of churches. They are one of the nation's great treasures. Introduction There are hundreds of churches in the region. Every village has one, some villages have two, and sometimes a lonely church in a field is the only indication that a village existed there at all. Many of these churches have foundations going right back to the dawn of Christianity, during the four centuries of Roman occupation from AD43. Each would claim to be the best - and indeed, all have one or many splendid and redeeming features, from ornate gilt encrusted screens to an ancient font. The history of England is accurately reflected in our churches - if only as a tantalising glimpse of the really creative years between the 1100's to the 1400's. From these years, come the four great features which are particularly associated with the region. - Round Towers - unique and distinctive, they evolved in the 11th C. due to the lack and supply of large local building stone. - Hammerbeam Roofs - wide, brave and ornate, and sometimes strewn with angels. Just lay on the floor and look up! - Flint Flushwork - beautiful patterns made by splitting flints to expose a hard, shiny surface, and then setting them in the wall. Often it is used to decorate towers, porches and parapets. - Seven Sacrament Fonts - ancient and splendid, with each panel illustrating in turn Baptism, Confirmation, Mass, Penance, Extreme Unction, Ordination and Matrimony. Bedfordshire Ampthill - tomb of Richard Nicholls (first governor of Long Island USA), including cannonball which killed him.

  • 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.

LOCATION: Land Off Little Walden Road Saffron Walden Essex APPLICANT: Gladman Developments EXPIRY DATE: 24 May 201 7 CASE OFFICER: Alison Hutchinson 1. NOTATION 1.1 Outside Development Limits 2.
