June 2019 (Pdf) Steeple Issue No 87 Village News June 2019 Steeple’s Steeple For a village called “Steeple”, the church spire (or steeple) is a rather significant landmark. Some of the timber around Steeple’s belfry has deteriorated and this picture shows Church Architect Hilary Brightman doing a close up inspection. Profit raised from the Vintage Vehicle Gathering on Sunday 18th August will help fund necessary repairs. Page 1 Page 2 Parish Council Elections In our March issue, we encouraged readers to put up for election to Steeple Parish Council. In fact, only three nominations for the five vacancies were received by the due date, so there was no election and Kay Davey, Peter Marshall and Michael Pudney were ‘elected unopposed’. “Three out of five” is the minimum number for council decisions (known as a quorum) so the council can still function provided that none of the three is absent for any reason. Clearly not a satisfactory situation so it was decided at the Council’s May meeting to seek candidates who might be co-opted to fill one of the vacant positions. Any adult who lives, works or owns property in the Parish of Steeple is eligible. If you wish to be considered, please confirm your interest in writing to The Clerk to Steeple Parish Council, Julie Chandler, Jays, Maldon Road, Steeple, Southminster, CM0 7RT. Please give brief details of why you believe you can make a contribution to the Council, such as any prior experience of committee decision making and budgeting. You should confirm your availability for attending Council meetings, usually the fourth Wednesday evening of each month. In the event there are more than two valid applications, the three existing Council- lors will decide a selection process, with the objective of co-opting one or both of the new Councillors at the 24th July Council meeting. The closing date for applications is Tuesday 18th June. At the time of the April Parish Council meeting it was already known that John Partridge did not intend to seek re-election. John had been a Steeple councillor for longer than anyone could remember and was Chairman until quite recently. In earlier years, John mowed the Playing Field, greens and churchyards free-of-charge and represented Steeple at numerous outside events. His wit and wisdom were appreciated on many occasions. Councillors recorded their gratitude to John for his long and valuable service to our community. Page 3 Annual Parish Meeting and May Meeting of the Parish Council In May, the usual Parish Council meeting is preceded, at 7pm, by the Annual Parish Meeting which is an opportunity for all organisations in the parish to report a summary of their activities. This year we were pleased to receive reports from the Parochial Church Council, Coffee, Cakes and Company Wednesday club and the newly formed Community Group. The Aylett’s Charity representative reported on continuing efforts to close the redundant Santander account. At 7.30pm, the Parish Meeting was closed and the Parish Council Meeting opened. The first item was to elect a Chairman and Vice-chair from the three elected councillors. Peter Marshall agreed to serve as Chairman for one more year and Kay Davey became Vice-chair. As explained above, councillors then had to decide how to go about filling one or both of the vacancies. The Councillors were disappointed to learn that Ms Julie Chandler had decided to give up her position of Clerk to the Council and Responsible Financial Officer as she needs to provide more time for her business and studies. In her short tenure of this office, Julie has greatly improved the Council’s budgeting and budget control procedures and has piloted through the adoption of Standing Orders, a Code of Practice and an Expenses procedure, all of which were long overdue. Councillors expressed their thanks to Julie and wished her every success in her studies. As explained below, a procedure is in place to find Julie’s successor. Vacancy for Steeple Parish Council Clerk and Responsible Financial Officer Our clerk will be leaving us shortly, therefore the above position will become vacant in August. Applicants must have proven administration, organisational and basic financial management skills. Microsoft Word and Excel skills are vital. The Clerk is responsible for taking Minutes and arranging Agenda for the Parish Council monthly meeting, correspondence, finances and maintaining the website. Home based, 17 hours per month. Please contact: Ms Julie Chandler, The Clerk to Steeple Parish Council Jays, Maldon Road, Steeple, Southminster,CM0 7RT Email: [email protected] Applications will close on 14th June 2019 Page 4 Highway Issues In March we said that resurfacing of The Street eastwards from the Sun & Anchor was expected to start in April but, of course, it didn’t. Essex County Councils Highways quickly revised that date to the autumn. In one sense the postponement is fortunate because we still lack agreement on what work will be done in the vicinity of the traditional wooden cottages, particularly those towards the eastern end of The Street. For several years, Councillors have been concerned about reports from householders of structural deterioration due to dampness and pedestrian safety concerns relating to the very shallow kerbs. Both these are exacerbated by repeated resurfacing over several decades that has raised the surface of the carriageway. More recently, residents have been complaining about serious levels of vibration experienced every time a heavy vehicle passes, made worse by undulations in the surface, particularly around drain gratings. Steeple Council has long argued that the best solution would be to significantly lower the road surface, together with improved drainage facilities, in the critical area. We were totally ignored until the middle of last year when our District Councillors and County Councillors started to put pressure on the Highways department. The Highways engineers do now understand the issues and have initiated proper investigations. From their core sampling they have concluded that no lowering of the carriageway is feasible although Councillors and some residents dispute this. The engineers have conceded that more modern drainage facilities would carry away storm-water more quickly and could reduce the vibration issues but, to date, there’s no commitment to include these improvements in the autumn re-surfacing programme. Councillors will continue to push for a satisfactory outcome but are ever mindful of the risk of causing further delay. Three local residents recently met with MP John Whittingdale to seek his assistance in getting effective action to properly resolve these issues. He committed to bring this to the attention of the Essex County Council Chief Executive but cautioned that full solutions might not be achievable in the short term.

  • The "King" Family
    23 third, sable t on a chevron between three towers, argent, as many fleur de lis, or, for Berill." The "three eagles" description is curious as inanother part of the same Visitation the number of eagles displayed is distinctly stated to be "two." Itis quite probable that the then Herald carelessly wrote the word "three" instead of "two," as all early drawings of the arms only show the two eagles. The eagles, however, sometimes are drawn with one, and sometimes with two necks, but no explanation of this variation has as yet been unearthed. An extensive Pedigree of this prominent Essex King family has been compiled, after an almost exhaustive examination of all the early records, wills,etc., of Essex County. The first ancestor of record appears to have been John Kynge of Dompnar inBurnham, Co. Essex, who died in 1490, leaving a will,and known issue, John, Richard, Thomas and Joan. John Kynge (John) of Althorne, Essex, called "John Kynge by West," probably to distinguish him from another John Kynge, (either a brother or a near relative) was an extensive land owner and died in 1524 leaving a willand known issue, William,Robert "Second sonne," John, Emme and Elynor. William Kynge (John, John) of Great Baddow, Essex, owned extensive lands inBurnham, Mayland and Althorne and died in 1570 leaving a will. He married Cicely ,and had known issue, Thomas,* Abraham, John "youngest son," and Priscilla. His son Thomas Kynge has been indentified as that Thomas Kynge of Purleigh, Essex, who died in 1588 leaving a will. By his wife Anne, he had known issue, Christopher, Edward, George and a daughter who married Thomas Hastier.

  • Draft List of Local Heritage Assets in Althorne
    APPENDIX 1 P a g e | 1 Draft List of Local Heritage Assets in Althorne December 2018 Planning Policy 01621 854 477 [email protected] APPENDIX 1 P a g e | 2 Introduction The Maldon District contains over a thousand nationally listed buildings, which are protected by law. It has also been recognised that there are many historic buildings which, although they may not meet the criteria for national listing, possess local value because of their architectural and historic interest. The District Council is developing a List of Local Heritage Assets to identify and celebrate these locally important buildings. Inclusion on the Register does not of itself bring any additional consent requirements over and above the existing requirement for planning permission, but it does mean that a building’s heritage significance will be a material consideration in the planning process. The following criteria have been developed to help identify those buildings which merit inclusion on the Register of Local Heritage Assets. As with the national list the word building can apply to any type of permanent structure. 1. Age and integrity a. All buildings which retain a significant degree of pre-1840 architectural character in terms of form, materials and stylistic detailing or for which there is realistic potential for restoration of that character. b. 1840-1880 buildings that are reasonably complete and of good local architectural and historic interest c. 1880-1945 buildings that are substantially complete and of very good local architectural and historic interest d. Post 1945 buildings that are wholly complete and of an outstanding level of local architectural and historic interest e.

Having started an exciting journey in a new joint benefice we would like the new Priest (Priest-in-charge) to help us to continue to take our churches forward in the encouragement of baptisms, confirmations and welcoming new members. Within the benefice we have the ancient chapel of St Peter ad Murum. The Chapel has its own ordained Chaplain who is a member of the ministry team. Qualities: We produced a survey of 10 questions in all five of our parishes to ask ‘what qualities’ parishioners would like their new priest to have and the top three most popular were: Schools (works closely with our local schools) Community (bringing church and community closer) Visiting; (those in need of support) From this we established the qualities we think are required: One who can work with our two primary schools and work with existing groups and projects that have been started in our parishes.

  • The Crouch Valley Trail
    THE CROUCH VALLEY TRAIL Introduction Welcome to the Crouch Valley Trail! This walk of nearly 30 miles highlights some of the most pleasant scenery in the County of Essex, providing the opportunity of experiencing rural life alongside the region’s history. The trail commences at the old market town of Rayleigh and passes through the many distinctive towns and villages of both north and south of the River Crouch, before ending at the fine sailing town of Burnham-on-Crouch. Both the start and finish points: The Windmill, Rayleigh and the Clock Tower, Burnham have been selected as they encompass heritage points of interest. The route of the trail has been composed to provide regular opportunities for refreshment stops and thought has been given to facilitate public transport links as best as possible. The trail has been broken down into 4 stages in order to provide flexibility and options, and combinations or parts of the stages can be undertaken to suit whichever route you wish to take. The 4 stages in themselves can be considered a complete walk; each vary and are individual in terrain and length. Please enjoy the charming countryside of rolling hills, farmland, woodland and riverside as you journey through the Crouch Valley Trail. Public Transport Links Due to the linear nature of this walk, there is obviously a need for public transport to get you back to your starting point or to join the trail at any link. If you are driving to any part of the trail, it is recommended that you park at a rail station as mentioned within the Trail Directions.
