    10(i)/19 48 PARISH COUNCIL MEETING Held in the Guildhall, Thursday 3rd October 2019 at 7.30 pm. Present Mr J O’Mahony, Vice Chairman Mrs D Twitchett, Miss A Mortimer, Mr B Panton, Mr T Sheppard, Mr A Searle, Mr I Lamont Mr R Lindsay, Suffolk County Councillor. Mrs M Maybury and Mr C Arthey, District Councillors for Lavenham Ward. 4 members of the public Public Forum - Mr John Pawsey, Chair of the Friends of Lavenham Airfield, spoke about plans in hand and ambitions for the future. The group has received many gifts from veterans and is looking for a site for a museum, perhaps in conjunction with another group such as the Parish Council. The annual FOLA celebrations will take place to coincide with the VE Day 75 weekend, this will involve many village groups and FOLA would like very much for the Parish Council to be involved as well. Fundraising for the memorial to the 233 servicemen who died flying from Lavenham Airfield continues. Alpheton Parish Council has made a £200 donation. Increasing numbers of relatives, children and grandchildren, are coming back and staying in the village, keeping the connection going. Mr Pawsey hoped that the people of the village continued to consider the Airfield, and the people who had served there, as part of the community.

  • Cockfield Was Originally Designated by West Suffolk County Council in 1973, and Inherited by Babergh District Council at Its Inception in 1974
    conservation area appraisal © Crown Copyright Babergh District Council license no 100023274 2012 Introduction The conservation area at Cross Green, Cockfield was originally designated by West Suffolk County Council in 1973, and inherited by Babergh District Council at its inception in 1974. The Council has a duty to review its conservation area designations from time to time, and this appraisal examines Cockfield under a number of different headings as set out in English Heritage’s new ‘Guidance on Conservation Area Appraisals’ (2006). As such it is a straightforward appraisal of Cockfield’s built environment in conservation terms. As a document it is neither prescriptive nor overly descriptive, but more a demonstration of ‘quality of place’, sufficient to inform those considering changes in the area. The photographs and maps are thus intended to contribute as much as the text itself. As the English Heritage guidelines point out, the appraisal is to be read as a general overview, rather than as a comprehensive listing, and the omission of any particular building, feature or space does not imply that it is of no interest in conservation terms. Text, photographs and map overlays by Patrick Taylor, Conservation Architect, Babergh District Council 2012. © Crown Copyright Babergh District Council license no 100023274 2012 Topographical Framework Cockfield is a village in west Suffolk about four miles north of Lavenham, comprised of several hamlets, one based at the church, with others around several greens of which Cross Green is but one. The parish is set in the upper reaches of the valley of the River Brett, which flows south from here through Lavenham and Hadleigh to eventually join the River Stour at Higham.
