The Society takes no responsibility for the quality of services offered, and members respond to adverts at their own risk. Editorial First journal of a new year … we should be looking forward to Thursday evening talks, maybe a few problems with bad weather, perhaps even planning for a Family & Local History Day. Instead, we are still feeling the effects and restrictions of Covid. Luckily, our members seem to have been busy with the family research and sent articles for inclusion in the journal, so please enjoy the fruits of their labours. We have to be grateful for the amount of information available online (if you have access to the web). It is worth searching out information resources that have become free to access at home due to the enforced lockdown. Our local library service (Cambridgeshire Libraries), and also Lincolnshire Libraries, are offering the library version of Ancestry, and Norfolk libraries have Find My Past (if you log in with your library account). The National Archives are allowing you to access digitized records free; as are some other major institutions. Have a look to see what other special offers are out there. You never know your luck, it may have that information you have been looking for (even if not, it’s a good way to get distracted for hours on end). I had an unexpected end to 2020, I started a new job! Having taken early retirement in 2019 I was hoping to do a bit of travelling (maybe even track down some of those parish registers in the West Country to sort out ancestral queries). However, a memo from the Cambridgeshire Association for Local History noting a vacancy in the library service caught my eye. Long story short, I applied and was successful and so am now the County Local Studies Librarian for Cambridgeshire. Quite a responsibility following in the footsteps of such as Mike Petty! If you have any comments, suggestions, proposals, for resources you would like to see added to the library service I’d love to hear them (can’t promise to deliver but will do my best; as the users, you are best placed to review what’s what). I am looking forward to the library being fully open again (I hope all local residents are aware Cambridgeshire Libraries are currently running a click and collect selection service), and perhaps working on joint projects with the Society. This edition has a collection of Hellos from members – a virtual group hug until we meet again.

Continued on page 13 Fenland Family History Society 2 www.fenlandfhs.org.uk Chairman’s Chat, Spring 2021 Hard to believe it has been a year since our journal happily listed the forthcoming talks for 2020/2021. Hopefully, it will not be too long before ‘normal’ life can resume and our speakers can be re-engaged to educate and entertain us, and we can meet to swap family tales and gossip and reconnect as our society community. In the meantime, if you have access to the internet I can recommend searching out online talks and presentations. Find My Past have a weekly Friday live broadcast on Facebook, and many other useful videos to view: https://www.facebook.com/findmypast/videos Ancestry also has informative videos https://www.facebook.com/AncestryUK/videos The Churches Conservation Trust have a weekly Thursday lunchtime talk (previous talks are available to view) https://www.visitchurches.org.uk/what-we-do/online-lectures.html Perhaps there is a local group relating to an ancestral place that has online offerings at the moment – check it out. The British Association for Local History has a series of ten minute talks on various subjects https://www.balh.org.uk/ten-minute-talks More local is Fascinating Fens, Fen Folks Fridays - a new free zoom group, that meet once a month to share and learn about the fens. https://fascinatingfens.com/fen-folks-friday/ The Wisbech Society has commenced a series of talks via Zoom webinars https://www.wisbech-society.co.uk/events - currently they are free to non-members. You do not need to have a microphone or camera to watch the lecture. Once signed up, a link will be sent to you with instructions to join, or you can watch the live stream on their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Wissoc/ The Fenland FHS has not completely shut down – if members have queries or just want to get in touch, please email, or join the Facebook group. If we have access to resources we will help where we can. I am especially grateful to Bridget and Peter Hunter who continue to beaver away in the background helping with enquiries, working on transcription projects, and promoting the society. Susanah Farmer, Chairman Fenland Family History Society 3 www.fenlandfhs.org.uk FENLAND FAMILY HISTORY SOCIETY www.fenlandfhs.org.uk MEETINGS (when running again) Our meetings are held on the FOURTH Thursday of each month except August & December.

In the Divorce Division of the High Court of Justice on the 2nd inst., before Mr. Justice Barnes, the case of Hardy v Hardy was heard. The petitioner, Mrs Leah Smith Hardy, formerly of Emneth, near Wisbech, and latterly of Nottingham, sued for a divorce from her husband, Mr. Francis Musgrave Hardy, whose position was not stated, on the ground of cruelty. The suit was undefended. Mr. Priestly appeared for the petitioner, and stated that the parties were married on the 30th July, 1878, at the parish church of Emneth. There had been three children of the marriage. The cruelty complained of began in 1894, and eventually it was found that the respondent had formed a connection with another woman. The petitioner, Mrs. Hardy, gave evidence, and said that in 1894 her husband knocked her with his knee on the back and caused her pain. ln March, 1896, he struck her with his diamond ring and cut her lip. When she spoke to him about his acquaintance, he threw bottle of stout at her. Latterly they had lived in Nottingham. Mrs. Mary Ann Bateman and Mrs. Fanny Smith, sisters of the petitioner, living in Nottingham, gave evidence to corroborate the cruelty. A witness named Harold Green spoke to having watched the petitioner.

Editorial board The project is implemented by Dr Helen Haugh Centre for Social Innovation at Cambridge Centre for Social Innovation Cambridge Judge Business School Cambridge Judge Business School and the Diocese of Ely Geoffrey Hunter with the generous support of Allchurches Trust Diocese of Ely and Historic England www.reachely.org The challenges facing church communities and their buildings have been extensively studied in the light of declining church attendance in the United Kingdom over several decades. REACH Ely aims to address the less-well-understood opportunities for churches to engage and reconnect with the 97.7 per cent of the local communities in the Diocese of Ely who do not attend their parish churches. With the absence of universal determinants of success and failure of churches in the community engagement context, the REACH Ely project will provide an understanding of the relationship between communities and wider use of church buildings as well as the contribution that churches make to the common good. The project will determine community values, needs and opportunities that can be used in the most effective way to ensure a win-win outcome for communities and sustainable future of church buildings.

  • Altitude Problem
    Viewpoint Altitude problem Time: 15 mins Region: East of England Landscape: rural Location: Tydd St Giles, near Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, PE13 5NU Grid reference: TF 38300 13300 Keep an eye out for: shed-like brick buildings - these are the Fens water pumping stations You may be wondering why we have brought you to this rather flat and featureless set of fields. Looking around there are only crops, minor roads and the odd farm building: not much to attract our attention. Well this is an ‘invisible’ viewpoint! You might not be able to see much but take a look at the section of OS map near the pin. Find the contour line (the thin brown line snaking through the middle of the image). This marks the height of the land in metres above sea level. Look carefully and you’ll see it reads 0 metres. This means we are on land that’s lower than the sea. Why is this Cambridgeshire field - 20 miles from the coast - actually under the sea? The answer is all around. Look for the long straight channels across the fields. In wet weather they are full of water. These are not natural rivers but artificial ditches, dug to drain water off the fields. So much water was drained away here that the soil dried out and shrank. This lowered the land so much that in places it is now below sea-level! But why was the land drained here and how? Originally the expanse of low-lying land from Cambridge through The Wash and up into Lincolnshire was inhospitable.

    A47/A141 Guyhirn junction Project update winter 2020 Investing in the A47 The A47 is an important connection, linking the cities of Norwich and Peterborough, the towns of Wisbech, Kings Lynn, Dereham, Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft and a succession of villages in what is largely a rural area. As part of a multi-billion investment to improve journeys on England’s major A-roads and motorways, the Government is funding a package of six projects on the 115-mile stretch of the A47 between Peterborough and Great Yarmouth. Together the projects will convert almost eight miles of single carriageway into dual carriageway and improve key junctions along the A47 road. The A47 road improvement projects are: n A47/A141 Guyhirn junction n A47 Wansford to Sutton dualling n A47 North Tuddenham to Easton dualling n A47/A11 Thickthorn junction n A47 Blofield to North Burlingham dualling n A47 Great Yarmouth junction About the A47/A141 Guyhirn junction project Project benefits A47 We’ll be making changes to the Guyhirn junction between the A47 (Fen Our improvements to the junction will: Road to South Brink) and the A141 (March Road) which is used by over B1187 GuyhirnGuyhirn 20,000 vehicles a day and experiences high levels of congestion.

  • Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office
    Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office This list summarises the Norfolk Record Office’s (NRO’s) holdings of parish (Church of England) registers and of transcripts and other copies of them. Parish Registers The NRO holds registers of baptisms, marriages, burials and banns of marriage for most parishes in the Diocese of Norwich (including Suffolk parishes in and near Lowestoft in the deanery of Lothingland) and part of the Diocese of Ely in south-west Norfolk (parishes in the deanery of Fincham and Feltwell). Some Norfolk parish records remain in the churches, especially more recent registers, which may be still in use. In the extreme west of the county, records for parishes in the deanery of Wisbech Lynn Marshland are deposited in the Wisbech and Fenland Museum, whilst Welney parish records are at the Cambridgeshire Record Office. The covering dates of registers in the following list do not conceal any gaps of more than ten years; for the populous urban parishes (such as Great Yarmouth) smaller gaps are indicated. Whenever microfiche or microfilm copies are available they must be used in place of the original registers, some of which are unfit for production. A few parish registers have been digitally photographed and the images are available on computers in the NRO's searchroom. The digital images were produced as a result of partnership projects with other groups and organizations, so we are not able to supply copies of whole registers (either as hard copies or on CD or in any other digital format), although in most cases we have permission to provide printout copies of individual entries.

FULL HOUSE AT THE NORTH NENE EUCHARIST Vicarùs Verbalsù St Paul’s Church, Gorefield was the venue for the North What is it about lawns! No matter how Nene Joint Eucharist Service on Sunday 12th July. hard I try I always seem to end up with a lawn full of weeds. There is obviously a Rev. Matthew Bradbury officiated and extended a warm knack to it. As I cycle around the villages welcome to everyone. The sermon was delivered by Rev I see such perfect examples of beautifully Sandra Gardener. The Rev Ryk Parkinson, Joy Andrew, manicured lawns; emerald green with not Mike Brown, Brian Payne also assisted with the service; a single weed, and every blade of grass the organist was David Stone. The large congregation identical, cut to a perfect height. I’m afraid joined heartily in the singing of the hymns. the vicarage lawn is rampant with bindweed and clover, couch grass and After the service about forty people went to the B.B.Q. in even nettles (try taking in the washing in the Church grounds, fortunately the weather was warm bare feet!). I mow it and feed it, spike it and the sun shone! Rev Matthew cooked the sausages and seed it, but all to no avail. And and burgers which guests enjoyed with salad followed by yet….and yet there is something very deserts: the bring and share table was loaded with cakes, soothing about the peculiar mix of plants trifles etc.

  • GUYHIRN CHAPEL Guyhirn, Cambridgeshire
    GUYHIRN CHAPEL Guyhirn, Cambridgeshire 1 West Smithfield London EC1A 9EE Tel: 020 7213 0660 Fax: 020 7213 0678 Email: [email protected] £1.50 www.visitchurches.org.uk Registered Charity No. 258612 Winter 2006 Guyhirn, Cambridgeshire GUYHIRN CHAPEL by Brian Payne (Local historian and Trustee of the Wisbech & Fenland Museum) INTRODUCTION Guyhirn Chapel, also known as the Old Church, or Guyhirn Puritan Chapel, is a small rectangular building situated in the centre of the village on the road to Wisbech St Mary. A stone over the door records the date 1660 and the initials ‘RP’. Whatever fascinating riddle those initials may present to the historian, it is surely the date that is significant, and which endows this little place with an importance out of all proportion to its size and location. The year 1660 was a turning point unique in English history. It was the year in which England ceased to be a Commonwealth and reverted, following the death of Oliver Cromwell in 1658, the subsequent retirement of Richard Cromwell, his son and successor as Lord Protector, and the accession of King Charles II, to what it had always been and has remained since, a monarchy. So Guyhirn Chapel has the rare distinction of embodying that turbulent period. Front cover: Exterior from the south (Kate Weaver) Left: The Pulpit (Kate Weaver ) 2 Exterior from the north-west (Christopher Dalton) Exterior from the south-west (Christopher Dalton) 3 What makes the chapel of special interest, forms of worship with which it was associated, non-attendance at church on the Lord’s Day black gown and contrasting white ‘Genevan’ however, must surely be the fact that it was illegal, whilst the Conventicle Act passed two was punishable at one time by a heavy fine.

  • Fenland District Wide Local Plan Tydd Gote ______
    Fenland District Wide Local Plan Tydd Gote _______________________________________________________________________________________ TYDD GOTE Inset Proposals Map No 24 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. This statement contains detailed planning proposals for the area of Tydd Gote within Cambridgeshire. It must be read in conjunction with the general policies set out in Part One of the Local Plan which apply throughout the District. 2. LOCATION 2.1. The village of Tydd Gote is situated 7 miles north of Wisbech, and 2 miles east of Tydd St Giles on the A1101. The majority of the village is in Lincolnshire. 3. POPULATION 3.1. The population of Tydd Gote has remained stable at 80 from 1981 to the present. 3.2. In mid 1990 the housing stock numbered some 20 dwellings. 3.3. Between mid 1986 and mid 1990 there were 3 housing completions in Tydd Gote. 4. SERVICES AND FACILITIES 4.1. Apart from the Tydd Gote public house all services and facilities lie in the Lincolnshire part of the village. There is no mains drainage and no surface water system. 5. KEY FEATURES OF FORM AND CHARACTER 5.1. Hannath Road abuts the Tydd Gote Conservation Area which runs along the Lincolnshire side of the County boundary. In common with other settlements in the vicinity of the District, the amount of woodland is unique. This is especially the case along the Hannath Road area of Tydd Gote. The high hedges and mature trees complement some fine buildings. Between Dark Lane and Hannath Road is an attractive open field enclosed by some splendid mature trees. Tree Preservation Orders currently protect twenty-six individual trees.
