Excursions. August 10Th, 1922. (Livermere, Ampton, Wordwell
EXCURSIONS. AUGUST10TH,1922. On August 10th an attractive Excursion Programmedrew many Membersand friends to Bury Station, which was the meeting and starting point for our round ofvisits, commencingwiththe thatched Church of St Peter, Great Livermere. Here the Rector, the Rev. H: C. Dobree pointed out features of interest, also mentioningthat Baptist Lee, who ownedthe Hall during the latter part of the 18th century, won a prize of £30,000in a State Lottery and improved the property, enclosed the Common (conditionally on payment yearly for ever of £8 to the Feofeesof Great Livermere)formed a Deer Park and made so many alterations that Little Livermere Church becameisolated and is now only used-for funerals. Our next halting place was Ampton Church, where the Rector, the Rev. W. A. Wickham read a most interesting Paper and drew our attention to Cokets Chantry, a Palimpsest Brass and the Ampton Sealed Book. (An article by the Rector giving the His- tory of this SealedBook, appears in the last issue of our Proceed- ings). From Ampton we went to Wordwell Church, a tiny Church but big with interest to archaeologists,as so many suggestionsof the earliest form of CliurchArchitecture still remain. The whole atmosphere is Saxon. The Chancel was evidently once Apsidal, and in the Arch separating it from the Nave, is the Long and Short work typical of the Saxontouch. This Arch being the Triumphal Arch symbolizingthe Gate of Heaven. The Doorwayin the outside North wall preservesthe survival of a very primitive style of building,for here the Pilasters that form the jambs of the door are not parallel but contract from the base to the top, being nearer together above than below.

BC September Report for Hawstead.Pdf
Borough Councillor’s September Report for Hawstead. Anglia Revenues Partnership. ARP collects our council tax. They have now set up an enforcement agency which will ensure consistent customer service standards are maintained throughout the payment collection process. It will also ensure that enforcement fees are only incurred by debtors after all reasonable attempts have been made to engage with them to make arrangements for payment. Where debtors will not make payment and enforcement agents have to visit premises, the fees charged and recovered will be retained by the Councils, benefitting the council tax payer. It is estimated that an income from fees of £150,000 will be shared between the partners. Apex. For the first time, income from ticket sales at The Apex has topped the £1m mark - up 42 per cent on last year. The number of tickets sold has also leapt by 34 per cent to 63,011, of which 12,431 were new customers. The increased income, accredited to an improved programme, marketing initiatives to reach new audiences, and excellent work from the support team, has helped bring the venue £74,732 under budget. Parks in St Edmundsbury are amongst best in UK for cleanliness and safety. The Abbey Gardens in Bury St Edmunds, East Town Park in Haverhill, Nowton Park and West Stow Country Park, have all been awarded The Green Flag Award for 2015/16 from the national charity Keep Britain Tidy.

St. Genevieve Lakes is the new name for the site at Park Farm, Ingham. This masterplan for St Genevieve Lakes builds on Policy RV6 and it’s adopted concept statement. This masterplan has been prepared by Corylus Planning and Environmental Ltd to promote high standards of design for the land identified by Policy RV6 of the Rural Vision 2031 Local Plan Document. A ‘Masterplan’ displays more detail than the preceding concept statement and provides a basis for later planning applications.
