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. -
Little Hadham Parish News June 2018
Little Hadham Parish News June 2018 Rector of Parish: Revd. Steve Bate 01279 842609 e-mail: [email protected] Churchwarden, Mrs Karin Green 01279 - 771532 [email protected] Log on to www.littlehadham.com for issues dating back to May 2006 Letter from the Rectory Revd. Steve Bate Many years ago, I was shown a letter written about me. It was written by the Diocesan Director of Ordinands – the person responsible for recommending people for ordained ministry. He’d met with me to form his opinion about my suitability for ordained ministry. “What might he have to say?” I wondered, as the letter was unfolded in front of me. There’s one word I still remember after all those years. The very first sentence of the letter began by describing me as a disciple. I was shocked! I thought the word ‘disciple’ was for special people who were with Jesus during his earthly ministry or, at least, exceptionally spiritual people. Me - a disciple? Surely not. It was the last word I’d think of using to describe myself. It got me thinking, though. It made me reflect on what it really means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. It made me realise that, strange as it may sound, all Christians are disciples – learners. We are people who are learning to be more like Jesus Christ himself. When Jesus called his first disciples to follow him, he was calling them to a life of being with him and learning from him - being his apprentices so as to become like him. -
Issue 9 Community Magazine for Furneux Pelham & Stocking Pelham
Issue 9 Community magazine for Furneux Pelham & Stocking Pelham Delivered free to all households in Furneux Pelham & Stocking Pelham WELCOME TO THE NINTH EDITION Welcome all to the ninth edition of ‘The Pelhams’ and in particular to our latest local advertisers, Andrew Banks and Simon Langsdale. Please check out their ads. This month, several of our reports happily suggest a tentative step forward after the 2020 lockdown. While neither village hall is able to open to individual hirers yet, both are actively planning for the future, with a refurbishment at Stocking Pelham and the imminent installation of wi-fi in Furneux Pelham. Our local school and pre-school are planning for a very different world when September comes. Both our churches too are gradually re-opening. Thank you to all those concerned who are steering these establishments through the minefield of ever-changing government guidance. Please keep your articles coming – we’d love to showcase the achievements, talents and interests of people of all ages. As ever, keep safe. Contributions to: [email protected] Cover photo The cover shows a sketch of the Hall in Furneux Pelham, signed by the renowned Arts and Crafts artist and etcher Frederick Landseer Griggs. In 1900, he had been commissioned by Macmillan and Company to illustrate the Hertfordshire edition of a new series of county guides. This sketch must have been created at some time between 1900 and 1913, (when the ‘Highways and Byways of Hertfordshire’ was published.) He used his motorcycle to travel between locations, often making two or more drawings in one day. -

The Hundred Parishes Society
THE HUNDRED PARISHES SOCIETY www.hundredparishes.org.uk Saturday 7th August 2021 Dear Members, You may recall mention in a previous email of the puddingstone that came to light during construction of the Little Hadham bypass. I am very pleased to report that the formalities have been completed and the bypass contractor has delivered the stone to the place prepared by Little Hadham Parish Council beside the village sign. I attach a photo Our article for September’s parish magazines focuses on hedges and hedgerows and was drafted by Tricia Moxey. I hope you will see it again in your local, accompanied by some photos. Hedges have long been a significant feature of our landscapes. They reduce erosion and offer shelter and forage for livestock and wildlife. Over the centuries, nuts, berries, and herbs from the hedgerows have provided food and natural remedies too. Woody material cut from pollarded hedgerow ash, elm and oak trees was once used as fuel or turned into useful objects. Hedges go back a long way: Roman farmers favoured a living hedge to mark out boundaries. Their value was recognised in 1567 guidance from the court at Felsted: “Any persons breaking any hedge or stealing wood be put next Sunday or holiday in the stocks for 2 hours at the least”. 50% of hedges have been lost since the late 1940s as farmers enlarged fields so bigger machines could operate, with the occasional forlorn oak tree as a feint reminder of a lost hedge. The former layout of hedges in any parish can be seen in 19th century tithe maps; comparison with current aerial maps will demonstrate what has been lost. -

The Hundred Parishes HUNSDON
The Hundred Parishes An introduction to HUNSDON 4 miles NW of Harlow. Ordnance Survey grid square TL4114. Postcode SG12 8NJ. Access: B180, no train station. The village is served by bus routes 351 (Hertford to Bishop‘s Stortford), C3 (Waltham Cross to Hertford or Harlow) and 5 (South End to Harlow Sats. only). County: Hertfordshire. District: East Hertfordshire. Population: 1,080 in 2011. The village of Hunsdon was registered in the Domesday Book of 1086. The village centre is dominated by the 15th-century village hall, originally a house called ’The Harlowes’ which had previously been the village school as far back as at least 1806. The hall faces one of the village’s original 5 greens, mainly now used as a pub car park but also the site of the war memorial. A number of houses in the village date back to the same period as the hall, including ’White Horses’ to the right of the village hall, while many others are of subsequent centuries. Hunsdon’s greatest claim to fame is as the site of Hunsdon House to the east of the church. The house was built in the 15th century by Sir William Oldhall, but by the 16th century the building and its extensive parks were in the hands of the Crown. Henry VIII rebuilt the house expanding it into a palatial estate in the Tudor style, complete with royal apartments and even a moat, making it into a splendid palace. Henry spent much of his leisure time at Hunsdon hunting in the well stocked deerpark. All of the King’s children lived there, Mary until her accession to the throne, Elizabeth and particularly Prince Edward. -

2021 Feb Salings Magazine
LETTER FROM THE EDITORS We are looking out over the last sprinklings of snow as we edit the magazine this month - waiting, like many residents, for warmer weather and the roll-out of the vaccines. Nonetheless, we did see our first snowdrops in Wethersfield Church last week - a promise of better times to come! Normally, of course, we take the opportunity of the editorial to high- light some of the forthcoming events. This has proved a bit difficult at the moment, as we do not know when it will be safe for the govern- ment to relax the COVID-19 restrictions and the ‘stay at home and protect the NHS’ message. This is a particular problem for events like our Fete and Car Display which have a long lead time. Many classic car clubs publish an annu- al calendar of forthcoming events, and we have to decide whether we want to be in it or not. To get round the problem, we have set up a new website dedicated to major forthcoming events in the Salings - stjamesgreatsal- ing.wordpress.com - and decided to tell car clubs that we are plan- ning for an event this year. The website will allow us to update people on changes to plans or specific government restrictions. And with regard to other adverts in the magazine - please phone and check their current status before making a journey! To all our readers, please stay safe, look out for your neighbours and let others know if you need help. Contributions to the next edition by the15th of Feb to: [email protected] 2 From Revd Janet Parker A small booklet and card had been popped through Mary’s door on Christmas morning. -
