WILKES ALLEN. Chelmsford, Jan. 12, 1820. THIS VOLUME Is most respectfully dedicated to the inhabitants of the town of CHELMSFORD, with the best wish es of the Author for their growing prosperity. HISTORYOFCHELMSFORD. INTRODUCTION. THERE is a sublime pleasure in tracing the footsteps of past existence, in walking over the ground, cultivated by former generations, in review ing the records of their deeds, and in examining the monuments of their industry, wisdom and piety. — In these acts we seem to become familiarly acquain ted with those; whose voices and countenances are unknown to us, and feel interested in those scenes, which rnce engaged their active spirits and excited their liveliest interest. The propensity, so strong and universal, to dwell upon the virtues of ancestry, finds ample gratifica tion in the learning and piety, patience and fortitude of the first settlers of Massachusetts ; the leading features ot whose character were visible for many years in the inhabitants of this town. The unmolested enjoyment of religious worship and ordinances in their primitive purity, which was their leading object in visiting and subduing this wilderness, was constantly kept in view and made the governing principle of their conduct. Agreea bly Mr. Higgimonin his Election sermon 1663 ob serves, "that it concerneth New-England always to remember, that thej are a plantation religious;, not 8 Commercial. The profession of pure doctrine, WOT* ship and discipline is written upon her forehead. — » Worldly gain was not the end and design of the peo ple of New-England, but religion. If then any man among us make religion as twelve and the world as thirteen, such an one hath not the spirit of a true New-England man.' WE are pleased to find that the ear* Iy inhabitants of this town bore a strong resem blance to their pious ancestors. About twenty per sons from Wouurn and Concord at the last session of the General Court in 1652, petitioned for liberty to examine a tract of land, '.lying on the other side (west) of Concord river. The Court accepted and granted their request. Having by a joint committee examined and viewed the aforesaid tract of land, and having also found sundry others, to the number of thirty nine in all, desirous of uniting with them in „_„ erecting a new plantation, they jointly pe titioned the legislature for a grant of land,* ' bordering upon the river Merrimack, near to Paw- tuckett.'t They stated that, there was a very ' com fortable place to accommodate a company of God's people upon, who may with God's blessing do good in that place for church and state.' They request ed that the said tract of land might ' begin on Mer- rirnack river at a neck of land next to Concord river, and so to run up by said river south and west into the country to make up a quantity of six miles square.' About the same time a petition wos presented tt *See *ppend'iK No. 1. t This word i« spelt by modern writers Pentncket, Pantucket, and Patiickft — J have followed Gookin and other ancient writers, who donbt- lees ii.iii the right spelling. ihd Legislature, by Rev. John Eliot, of Roxburyl agent and trustee for the Indians, for a grant of land," lying about Pawtuckett and Wamesit tails, to be ap propriated to the sole arid exclusive use of the tribe inhabiting thereabouts., This land, called the 'great neck,' was the principal habitation of the Pawtuck- etts, once the most powerful tribe north of the Mas sachusetts. Here they had erected wigwams, and broken up land for planting. The 'court' therefore, t iking into consideration both petitions, directed both an Indian and 1653 English plantation to be laid out ; and that the request of the petitioners from Woburn and Concord should be granted, except some part of the tract petitioned for, lying on Merrimack river. It was made a condition of this grant, that with in two years of the date of the act, they should set tle a competent number of families on it, twenty or more being so, considered, that they might be in a capacity to enjoy all the ordinances of God. Capt. Willard of Concord and Capt. Johnson of Woburn were appointed to lay out the plantation or township.* . , , . It is difficult at this day to ascertain the original boundaries between the Indian and English planta tions. But from a plot of them, presented to the court in 1656 and found among the original papers on file in the secretary's office, and from the documents subjoined at the end of this work, it appears that the original grant for Chelmsford did not extend to Merrimack river on the north east, and barely cor nered on Concord river on the south east.. The plantation, constituting original Chelmsford., was in the form of a parallelogram or oblong square, 1653.— The first person born in town was Joseph Parker,son of Joseph Stid Margaret Parker, March 30. Tradition. * See No. 2 Appendix. 10 It was bounded on the north by a straight line, be- f inning at the glass manufactory and running to the ouse of Benj. Osgood, Esq. of Westford. On the south west by Tadmuck Swamp, and on the south east by a straight line, beginning af Pawtuckett stake, so called, by the side of Concord river at a point where Billerica, Chelmsford *nd Pawtuckett, or Wamesit meet, and running south west 43 deg. to the aforesaid Tadmuck swamp. On the north east by Pawtuckett or Wamesit, for which see No. 5, In dex. The plantation thus granted May 1 8, 1653 and laid out in June following, was occupied within 18 months by a sufficient number of people to render it expedient to call a general meeting for the choice of officers * to manage the public affairs of the place.* This meeting was holden on the 22d Nov. 1654 at which the following persons were chosen int^ office, viz: — Esdras Reed, Edward Spalding, William Fletcher, Isaac Learned, Simon Thompson, William Underwood and Thomas Adams. Their early and liberal provision for the establish ment and maintenance of religious worship and in- struc'.ion. is worthy of special notice. At their first public meeting, measures were adopted for support* ing a settled minister, the Rev.

  • The David Attenborough Building Pembroke St, Cambridge CB2 3QY
    Venue The David Attenborough Building Pembroke St, Cambridge CB2 3QY http://www.conservation.cam.ac.uk/ Cambridge Cambridge is a university city and the county town of Cambridgeshire, England, on the River Cam about 50 miles (80 km) north of London. At the United Kingdom Census 2011, its population was 123,867, including 24,488 students. There is archaeological evidence of settlement in the area in the Bronze Age and in Roman Britain; under Viking rule, Cambridge became an important trading centre. The first town charters were granted in the 12th century, although city status was not conferred until 1951. Cambridge is the home of the University of Cambridge, founded in 1209 and one of the top five universities in the world. The university includes the Cavendish Laboratory, King's College Chapel, and the Cambridge University Library. The Cambridge skyline is dominated by the last two buildings, along with the spire of the Our Lady and the English Martyrs Church, the chimney of Addenbrooke's Hospital and St John's College Chapel tower. Cambridge is at the heart of the high-technology Silicon Fen with industries such as software and bioscience and many start-up companies spun out of the university. Over 40% of the workforce have a higher education qualification, more than twice the national average. Cambridge is also home to the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, one of the largest biomedical research clusters in the world, soon to be home to AstraZeneca, a hotel and relocated Papworth Hospital. Parker's Piece hosted the first ever game of Association football. The Strawberry Fair music and arts festival and Midsummer Fairs are held on Midsummer Common, and the annual Cambridge Beer Festival takes place on Jesus Green.

Whilst this is a significant step in our journey as a system, we also acknowledge that there is much work to be done to make the C&P ICS a success. Our ambition is to launch our ICS in shadow form during Q4 of 2021/22 before the new ICS establishment is formalised in Q1 2022/23. There are a significant number of development steps that we need to take in order to meet this ambition, which have been grouped thematically to include: • System roles and capabilities • System leadership and accountability • System oversight and quality improvement • Leadership and people development • Financial framework and use of resources • System and digital transformation Each of these themes requires a significant amount of engagement, design work, implementation work, and throughout we must ensure that we continue to deliver business as usual activities and meet our operational and strategic targets. As a result, we have developed the following plan to set out how we aim to deliver the spectrum of activities required to ensure we progress towards our future vision whilst meeting the current needs of our local population and stakeholders. Whilst developing the plan, we have ensured it will deliver against five key development areas highlighted to us by the regional team including: finance, regional clinical leadership, workforce, provider collaboration and Local Authority engagement.
