    White Roding Parish Plan 7:Layout 1 17/3/09 10:26 Page 1 White Roding Parish Plan a vision for the future Spring 2009 White Roding Parish Plan 7:Layout 1 17/3/09 10:26 Page 2 Introduction Welcome to your copy of the White Roding Parish Plan. In January 2008 a questionnaire was distributed to 128 households within the Parish boundaries. Responses were received from 100 and this plan has been developed following an analysis of these responses. All this was carried out as part of the government’s plan to give more power to local people in influencing the decisions made by local Councils, so that residents are more involved with what happens in their surroundings. The idea behind the questionnaire was to find out what problems affected the residents of the parish and what if anything could be done to rectify these issues. If enough people in the village and surrounding areas thought that something needed to be done about, for example, litter or speeding then this would be the proof needed to take this forward to get the problem solved. But we have to be realistic; just because the majority of residents want an issue addressed does not mean that we can wave a magic wand and everything will be fixed. We still live in a world controlled by budgets and time tables. So what will you find in the following pages? Well, as this is a good chance to reach every household, a little history of the Parish has been included along with a short profile of the current state of the village.

  • History of Down Hall
    History of Down Hall Down Hall was one of ten ancient medieval manors in the Parish of Hatfield, later known as Hatfield Broad Oak, which at the time of the Norman conquest, was already a well-established Saxon settlement. Popular for hunting in the neighbouring forest, the royal estate came to be known as Hatfield Regis, or King's Hatfield, partly to distinguish it from Hatfield Peverel, also in Essex. At one time a royal estate of Harold II, Hatfield fell into the possession of William the Conqueror after the battle of Hastings in 1066. At around nearly 9,000 acres (14 sq miles) Hatfield Regis was one of the largest parishes in Essex that at the time of the reign of Edward the Confessor (1042-1066), was already referred to as an ancient demesne – a demesne being all the land retained and managed by a lord of the manor under the feudal system for his own use and occupation or support. We know from records that at this time, Hatfield was formerly divided into four quarters: Town Quarter, Wood Row Quarter, Hatfield Heath Quarter, and Broomsend Quarter, across which these ten manors would have been sited. In the Norman French of ancient deeds, Down Hall is referred to as La Donne, and remarkably from surviving Anglo Saxon records, we find mention of it as Dunhall. During the reign of the Confessor, it belonged to Ulwin, Thegn of Edmund Ætheling. A Thegn was a person ranking between an Earl and an ordinary freeman, holding land of the king or a lord in return for services; and Edmund Ætheling was a member of the royal House of Wessex and the nephew of Edward the Confessor.
