    Consolidated list of Definitive Map (DM) changes since DM2015 to Dec 19 Rosalinde Emrys-Roberts (to June 18) and Richard Cuthbert (Dec 18 on), of the Herts County Council Rights of Way Service, report on progress with the Definitive Map. In December 2015, we sealed our latest Definitive Map—’DM2015’. In future, the working copy of the Definitive Map available on the web will be updated more regularly – probably on a monthly basis. Since that consolidation, the following routes have been added or existing rights of way changed. They are listed by District and the status of the route and its location described. Broxbourne A footpath has been recorded in Cheshunt, leading south from Ashdown Crescent to Cadmore Lane. The footpath crossing the railway west of Dobb’s Weir in Hoddesdon has been diverted over a new railway bridge with steps. In Goffs Oak, a footpath has been recorded connecting Cuffley Hill (just east of Jones Road) northwards to The Drive. Dacorum A new footpath has been dedicated in Kings Langley, leading south east from Footpath 5 alongside the A41 to Footpath 1, adjacent to junction 20 of the M25. A new footpath has been recorded in Potton End, leading north east from Brown’s Spring through woodland to connect with Nettledon & Potton End Footpath 31. The width of the footpath leading from Wilstone Green to Wilstone reservoir has been recorded following enforcement action. In Kings Langley a path round the perimeter of the field north of Lady Meadow has been recorded as a public footpath (Kings Langley 47). East Herts The bridleway crossing the A120 Bishop’s Stortford Bypass south of Wickham Hall is now correctly shown in the Definitive Map records.

Deposited by Messrs. Boulton Sons and Sandeman for the Cannon Brewery. Inventory compiled: LAccession 162] March 1968 D/ECb Introduction This collection consists of deeds incident to the conveyance of the vhole of the Hoddesdon Brewery and all its licensed houses in 1866 and titl e deeds of some of those houses and of others that were acquired later. The expansion of Hoddesdon Brewery dates from its purchase by William Whittingstall from Rene Briand in 1781. From that date til l his death in 1803, rfhittingstall systematically enlarged the brewery*s commercial outlets by buying up a number of public houses in the surrounding district. Messrs. John Christie and George Cathrow bought the property from Vhittingstall's executors and at the death of Cathrow in 1842 it was sold privately to a new partnership of Messrs. Peter Christie, John Back and Robert Hunt. After Peter Christie's death and when 3ack and Hunt had retired to their country estates, the firm was conveyed in 1866 to Charles Peter Christie. On his death in 1898 it was turned into a public company which 30 years later was absorbed by the Cannon Brewery of London, later controlled by Taylor, Valker and Co. and now by the Ind Coope combine.

  • Berry, Grosvenor’S Sister William ETTY (1787-1849)
    Clarence in Much Hadham and his nephew Grosvenor – a mystery solved By Marcus Bicknell, November 2019. Copyright © 2019 Marcus Bicknell www.clarencebicknell.com [email protected] Clarence’s sketches of Much Hadham I have been haunted for 20 years by two nice sketches by Clarence Bicknell of Much Hadham, a quiet village in Hertfordshire, northeast of London and now under the departing flight path of Stansted airport. One sketch is of the windmill at Much Hadham (below right) and the other of The Palace at Much Hadham, the latter titled by Clarence in a hand-styled font, a cross between 12th century medieval and contemporary arts-and-crafts (on page 3 below). Both are dated 1889; he visited Much Hadham in July of that year. But we never knew, until today, why Clarence went there. He had moved to Bordighera ten years earlier, so this trip was not a casual one, not just touristic. He would have had an objective. Thanks to the keen interest of a present inhabitant of Much Hadham, a descendant of Charles Adams and a regular follower of Clarence Bicknell’s Facebook page, we have the answer. Much Hadham was the home of Ada Berry née Bicknell (1831-1911), Clarence's favourite sibling, 11 years his elder. He visited her in London and Kent throughout his life. Our Much Hadham source also made the link with Ada’s son Grosvenor Berry who lived and farmed in the area for there for 65 years. Clarence Bicknell - Grosvenor Berry Marcus Bicknell 2019 1 Ada Berry née Bicknell Ada Bicknell married Edward Berry 1 (senior) in 1857.

  • I'm a Celebrity Get Me out of Here !!
    I’m a Celebrity Get Me out of Here !! There was no escaping the annual Celeb- rity Night for speaker Willie Thorne, de- spite having suffered a stroke three weeks earlier. An excellent evening was enjoyed by 182 guests and Rotarians, for this the twenty eighth year of Hoddesdon’s charita- ble fund raising night. Willie entertained the hall with stories from his career as a professional snooker player, travelling the world with fellow players and the highs and lows of his personal life. Comedian John Stiles (below) compered the evening, sharing details of his infamous father, foot- baller Nobby Stiles. A total exceeding £9000 was raised IN THIS ISSUE IN THIS ISSUE for charity including proceeds of the auction, and our thanks and congratulations to Roger Merton and the Ways and Means Committee for organising the evening. 1 President Ted Gradosielski As I reflect on my first five very enjoyable months as President I wonder where the time has gone ! The honey extraction day on a Sunday in August in my apiary at Chapel Barn was very well supported and I had a chance to explain how cheap my honey was to buy when compared to the work involved in producing it! The highlight of my year however was the President’s weekend in Krakow Po- land – Thursday 10th to Sunday 13th September 2015 with 26 Rotarians and friends attending to enjoy the sights and history, thank you for your support. We celebrated our Club Charter at the Highland restaurant in Broxbourne on Monday 14thSeptember with a speaker from a beekeeping charity called “Bees for Development”.

  • The Cemeteries of Roman Baldock
    The Cemeteries of Roman Baldock KEITH J. FITZPATRICK-MATTHEWS North Hertfordshire Museum [email protected] The ancient town of Baldock occupies a shallow bowl in the hills that run west-southwest to east-northeast through North Hertfordshire, a north- eastern extension of the Chilterns (Figure 1). It lies close to the source of the River Ivel, which flows northwards to join the Bedfordshire Ouse, but is not situated on a river. It is also at a road junction, with pre-Roman tracks from Braughing, Verulamium, and Sandy converging with the line of the Icknield Way to the southeast of the springs. It seems to have functioned as a local market centre, with evidence for small-scale craft production, although osteological evidence suggests that a proportion of the townspeople were agricultural labourers. Even so, there is evidence from all periods of a degree of personal wealth and literacy that places at least some of the inhabitants in the upper strata of Romano-British society. This view of the town contrasts with Stead’s (1975, 128) dismissive comment that the town resembled an overgrown Little Woodbury Iron Age farm. Instead, the evidence now points to its success as a cult centre of at least sub-regional importance. Lead sealings that apparently name the settlement and its council (C·VIC—either Curia Vic… or C Vicanorum) demonstrate the presence of a curial class employing the trappings at least Figure 1. Baldock location Fragments Volume 5 (2016) 34 FITZPATRICK-MATTHEWS: The Cemeteries of Roman Baldock of self-government, while the variety of the population’s burials (which include at least two suspected sub-Saharan Africans) and the extreme longevity of the settlement into the fifth century and beyond show it to have been economically successful and socially diverse.
