Excursion, 24 July 1976: Denston Church, Hall, And
1976 24 July Denstonchurch,HallandChantryFarm: The church is evidently a rebuilding for servicesof new collegiatefoundation of 1475.Master and brethren apparently lived in former building W. of church. Present Chantry Farm E. of church, with notable Tudor woodwork,is a post- Reformationparsonagehouse. At the Hall, John Bensusan-Buttestablishedthe probability that the rear range was the remnant of the large, quadrangular house of SirJohn Denston,founder of the chantry; that the present main house was built c. 1690for Sir John Robinson (d. temp.Anne), the chief remains being the barley-twist staircase, the black-and-red brickworkand the small-paned windowsat rear; and that alterations, mainly in the front of the house, were perhaps paid for by SirJohn GriffinGriffinat the time of the Robinson-Clivemarriage, 1782.

St Michael's Church
St Michael’s Church Woolverstone A Brief History A Short History of Woolverstone The Beginnings – Fact or Fiction? The earliest evidence of human habitation is of a bronze age settlement situated on the road leading down to Cat House (by the Marina). Here, flint tools, broken pottery and bones of the period have been found. Legend has it that Woolverstone gets its name from a Danish or Norse chieftain called Wulf. It has been said that where the Church now stands there once stood a large glacial stone. This spot had supposedly been held sacred, and on this stone, Wulf the Rover was said to have sacrificed a poor native in honour of his god, and hence – Wulf’s Stone. The Lords & the People In the Domesday Book we read that there were two manors in the area held by Tostin and Aluric. These comprised of 3 ploughing teams, 3 acres of meadow, 3 villeins and 5 bordars, a Church and 10 acres of land, 5 horses, 8 beasts, 20 hogs, 60 sheep and woodland and pasturing for 15 hogs. Most court rolls that describe the management of the manor in these early days were almost certainly destroyed during the 1381 Peasant’s Revolt. Those that do remain show how the original feudal manor gradually became free of feudal ties. The early tenants gained independence and were free to buy and sell land. The 15th Century inhabitants grazed their stock on commons and in wood pastures, but had to pay rent for this to Lords of the manor. They also grew arable crops in small enclosed fields.

Alan Mackley, 'The Construction of Henham Hall', the Georgian Group
Alan Mackley, ‘The Construction of Henham Hall’, The Georgian Group Jounal, Vol. VI, 1996, pp. 85–96 TEXT © THE AUTHORS 1996 THE CONSTRUCTION OF HENHAM HALL Alan Mackley uring the night of Saturday 8 May 1773, Henham Hall in east Suffolk was destroyed by fire, the result, it was said, of the carelessness of a drunken butler whose candle fell whilst he robbed the wine cellar during his master’s absence in Italy.1 The uninsured loss was Dreported to be £30,000.2 This was a serious blow for the 23-year old sixth baronet, Sir John Rous, who had succeeded his father just two years before. The loss represented at least eight years’ rental income from his landed estate.3 Almost twenty years elapsed before rebuilding began. John Rous’s surviving letters and accounts throw a revealing light on the reasons for the delay. Additionally, the survival of detailed building accounts and his clerk of works’s reports permit the almost total reconstruction of the building process at Henham in the 1790s.4 The existence of plans dated 1774 by James Byres indicate an early interest in rebuilding, but Rous’s letters in the 1780s, before he married, reveal an equivocal attitude to investment in his estate, concern about his financial position, and pessimism about the future.5 His views were not untypical of that generation of landowners who lived through the dramatic collapse of land and farm prices at the end of the war of American Independence. Rous had little income beyond the £3,600 generated annually by his Suffolk estate.

WOOLVERSTONE HALL : SOME REFLECTIONS on THE DOMESTIC ARCHITECTURE of JOHN JOHNSON (I732-I 814)
WOOLVERSTONE HALL : SOME REFLECTIONS ON THE DOMESTIC ARCHITECTURE OF JOHN JOHNSON (i732-I 814) by NANCY BRIGGS,M.A., F.S.A. IN 1777JOHN JOHNSON of BernersStreet, St Marylebone, exhibited at the Societyof Artists a drawing of WoolverstoneHall, the seat of William Berners.The WoolverstoneHall estate had been originally leased by William Berners (1709-1783)from Knox Ward (d. 1741). Bernerspurchasedthe estateout ofChanceryfor k I 4,oco C. 1773;the originalhouseprobably stood on the site of the present stables. WoolverstoneHall is said to have been erected in 1776,but the building is not documented, apart from the unsigned and undated plan now at WoolverstoneHall School (Figs. 13, 14,Pl. Vb).1 Johnson's associationwith Berners provides the earliest definite information about the architect's career. He was born in Leicesteron 22 April 1732, the son ofJohn and Frances Johnson, and is possiblyto be identifiedwith the John Johnson, eldestson ofJohn Johnson, joiner, who was admitted a freeman of Leicesteron 22 April 1754.At the time ofJohnson's death in 1814, it was stated in the Leicester Journal that 'he left this town . in early life possessing little more than strong natural abilities,which soonfound their way in the Metro- polis:2 By 1766Johnson was involved in the development of the small Berners estate in St Marylebone; its frontage extended along Oxford Street from Wells Street to Rathbone Place, and as far north as the MiddlesexHospital. Developmentof the Bernersestate had begun in 1738.The existingstreetson the estate were laid out between

Woolverstone Parish Council
Submission from Woolverstone Parish Council As we understand it, the aim of the electoral review is to recommend ward boundaries that mean: 1. Each councillor represents approximately the same number of voters. 2. Ensure that the pattern of wards reflects the interests and identities of local communities 3. Promoting effective local government. We do not feel in Woolverstone that the recommendations as they stand reflect the interests and identities of villages on the Shotley peninsula. In addition that the proposed ward of "Chelmondistan" deprives us of a constituency which includes our Surgery and our Local Academy. It also excludes one of the main shopping areas on the Peninsula Furthermore, the proposals ignore our historical connectivity through the Berners estate. In addition, they fail to notice the road network connections and take into account the integrity of the area of Outstanding Natural Beauty which covers a large area of the Shotley Peninsula Woolverstone Parish Council does not agree with your proposals for the Shotley Peninsula as expressed in the “Draft recommendations on the new electoral arrangements for Babergh District Council.” We also note that no reference was made to Woolverstone’s submission when discussing issues on the Shotley Peninsula in the section “Chelmondistan” p9. Firstly, we are at a loss to understand the chosen spelling of “Chelmondistan” as the name for the ward it is proposed Woolverstone is part of. This must be a misspelling, surely. Secondly, we agree with the ward of Shotley having a single councillor and including Erwarton. We suggest the name of Ganges for this ward recognising the historical connections.

Woolverstone News May 28Th 2020 Dear All
Woolverstone News May 28th 2020 Dear All Summer seems to have arrived several weeks early this year. The blue skies have continued throughout most of May and temperatures remain above seasonal averages. We desperately need some persistent rain, but it looks as if there is little prospect in the next two weeks. The soil from fields that are bare can be seen being blown by wind across the roads and the dusty hedgerows and banks look more like July than May. I was saddened to read about the late April storm across the Mediterranean which engulfed house martins and swallows returning from Africa to our shores. The streets in Athens and the islands were littered with their tiny bodies after they succumbed to the ravages of ferocious winds and rain. This may partly explain why so few have returned this year. Let’s hope that the lower levels of pollution, which seem to have encouraged the insect population, will help feed and restore their strength and they manage to raise strong broods this year. The climbing rose in the photograph is called “Surpassing Beauty of Woolverstone” or the “Churchyard Rose”. It has a glorious scent which you could swim in but it is prone to mildew and spot. It has been grown from the same stock as the one in our churchyard which is thought to be around a hundred years old and was re- discovered by the late Humphrey Brooke. This summer has been perfect for it. They can be bought from Peter Beales Roses: https://www.classicroses.co.uk/ There is a lot more information about the rose in Woolverstone: notes and queries.
