2020 Creativity Challenge Quiz Answers We hope you have been enjoying the activities in the Creativity Challenge over the past weeks. Have you had a chance to have a go at the quiz too? This can help you find out more about the amazing history of the district, and about some of our great partners in Epping Forest Creative Network. Now it is time to find out if you got the right answers … 1. Which Anglo Saxon King is thought to be buried at the Abbey Church, Waltham Abbey? A. King Harold II. While the Abbey of Waltham was certainly a very important place for Harold, we can’t be 100% sure he is buried there. There are other places that lay claim to be his final resting place. Some think there wouldn’t have been much of him left to bury after the Battle of Hastings. Either way, it is still very important to commemorate Harold’s connection to Waltham Abbey. 2. Which popular festival takes place at St John’s Church, Epping each Christmas? A. It is of course the Christmas Tree Festival. Lots of community groups and local business decorate trees each year as part of the town’s Christmas festivities. St John’s Church as well as many other churches across the district welcome all sorts of different community events and activities. Our churches are very special places to visit, with wonderful stories to explore too. 3. Near which town in the district can you find the oldest wooden church in the world? A. Churches don’t get much more special that St Andrew’s juxta Ongar in Greensted – a long name for a wonderful small church, and one that is a real treasure of the district. The central part of the church is built from massive wooden logs which have been dated back to about 1060AD, making this not only the oldest wooden church in the world, but also potentially the oldest wooden building in Europe. 4. Name one theatre or cinema in the Epping Forest district. A. Lots to choose from here – you might have gone for the Corbett Theatre at East15 Acting School in Loughton, but you could also include many of the village halls and libraries that turn themselves into theatres for family shows during school holidays or for local amateur drama groups to perform in. We don’t have a big cinema chain in the district, but again there are many community cinemas that pop up with fun affordable screenings. Waltham Abbey Town Hall and Epping at the Movies are just two of these. 5. Which Shakespeare play is thought to have been first performed at Copped Hall, Upshire? A. A Midsummer Night’s Dream was almost certainly written and performed for the wedding celebrations of Sir Thomas Heneage and his second wife, The Countess of Southampton, which took place at Copped Hall in 1594. Sir Thomas was a very important member of Queen Elizabeth I’s government and a close friend too. Elizabeth had granted Copped Hall to Sir Thomas in 1564. 6. Name one of the Iron Age forts in Epping Forest. A. There are two you can choose from – Loughton Camp or Ambresbury Banks. The forts are clearly marked on maps of the forest, but not much can be seen of them. Ambresbury Banks is the easier to find, and you can still see some of the high banks and deep ditches that were made from earth. The forts date from the Iron Age, over 2000 years ago, and may have been used by the Trinovantes and Catuvellauni tribes as the border of their territories met along this high ridge. 7. On which street in Waltham Abbey is Epping Forest District Museum? A. Sun Street – named because the street runs due East / West so the shops on the North side have the sun shining on them all day. The Greenwich meridian line also passes across Sun Street. 8. Which Tudor King ordered Queen Elizabeth’s Hunting Lodge to be built in Epping Forest? A. King Henry VIII ordered the building of what is now know as Queen Elizabeth’s Hunting Lodge, in 1543. Originally known as the Great Standing, the building was like a large grandstand, allowing the king and later the queen to view hunts taking place in the forest around them. 9. Where are the two Epping Forest Visitor Centres situated? A. One can be found at High Beach and the other at The View, Chingford, next to Queen Elizabeth’s Hunting Lodge. Here you can find out all about the history and nature of this amazing space in the district. 10. Name two stations on the Epping Ongar Railway Heritage Line. A. You can choose from Ongar, Blake Hall and North Weald. The trains now have to stop just short of Epping itself now. 11. Name one animal on the farm at Lambourne End Centre for Outdoor Learning. A. Lots to choose from here – why not have a look at their website and see if your favourite farmyard animal is there https://www.lambourne-end.org.uk/farm 12. Name one sporting activity that takes place in the Lee Valley Regional Park. A. Again, so many different sports to choose from including ice-skating, horse riding, cycling, tennis, swimming and white water rafting – check out the website to see if your favourite sport is included https://www.visitleevalley.org.uk/en/content/cms/outdoors/ 13. Can you name your closest library? A. Lots to choose from so you can name your local library. The museum is lucky to be next door to Waltham Abbey library and we enjoy working with the librarians there to help us in our research and support each other with community activities. 14. Which town in Epping Forest District did the French artist, Lucien Pissarro live in? A. Lucien lived in a house on Hemnall Street in Epping – it is marked with a blue plaque. Lucien, son of the French Impressionist artist Camille Pissarro , came to live in Epping in 1893 with his wife, Esther. Their daughter Orovida was born shortly afterwards. Lucien painted many scenes of the local area including the garden of the house on Hemnall Street. One of these can now be seen in Epping Forest District Museum. 15. In which town is the Lopping Hall Gallery? A. The gallery can be found in Loughton, by the Lopping Hall. The gallery is a volunteer run, community space dedicated to bringing art and culture to Loughton. 16. Which primary school has made a podcast with Loughton Youth Project? A. Staples Road Primary School have worked with Loughton Youth Project to learn all about producing and recording podcasts. You can hear the results of their hard work here https://www.staplesroad.essex.sch.uk/srs-radio/ 17. What market is the oldest in the district, Epping or Waltham Abbey? A. Waltham Abbey is the oldest as it was granted a charter to hold a weekly market in 1189, with Epping receiving its charter in 1253. 18. In which famous WW2 battle did North Weald Airfield play a part? North Weald Airfield played a key role in the Battle of Britain. Thirty-nine aircrew from North Weald and its satellite airfield at Stapleford Tawney were killed during this period with two major attacks taking place on the airfield itself, but thanks to the skill and determination of the crew on the ground and in the air, the airfield itself was never put out of action. 19. Name one thing you can find out about at the Royal Gunpowder Mills? A. Lots to choose from including nature, history, science and of course explosives. Have a look at the website to see what else you can learn about there https://www.royalgunpowdermills.com 20. Name one image that appears on the Waltham Abbey Meridian Line mosaic? A. This 15-foot long mosaic marking where the meridian line crosses Sun Street in Waltham Abbey shows a map of the World, the Abbey Church, King Henry VIII, Epping Forest District Museum, a coin of King Harold II and a pair of Chinese dragons to signify east meeting west. There are many more mosaics to explore along Sun Street and in the Abbey Gardens. .

    Frontispiece for Volume 2 March 1954

    The Deer of lapping Forest ' 241 THE DEER OF EPPING FOREST By ANTHONY BUXTON My home was on the edge of Epping Forest and my father, the late Edward North Buxton, was a very active verderer of that forest for practically the whole of his life. He was more- over in the forefront of the fight to save the forest as an open space for the public. From very early days I was constantly in the forest and at once began to take an interest in its deer. In Saxon times and for centuries later a large proportion of Essex was covered by woods, heather and grassy commons. Even at the end of the sixteenth century Camden wrote " Near the Sey (sea) spreads out a chase of vast extent, full of game, the largest and fattest deer in the Kingdom ". In the reign of King John the grievances of the forest laws became so intolerable that he was compelled to limit the royal forest to what was known as the Forest of Waltham, stretching from the River Lea on the west to the Romford sound on the east, and these boundaries were confirmed by Edward I. King Charles I attempted to enlarge these boundaries but the sturdy people of Essex rebelled and held a " conventicle in the very brake where the King's stag should have been lodged for his hunting the next morning ". As a result the Long Parliament passed an Act fixing the forest boundaries to comprise 60,000 acres. Up to the time of Henry VIII nearly the whole of the ownership of the forest soil was vested in the religious bodies of the day, subject to the sporting rights of the Crown.

    _________________________________________________________________________ LOUGHTON & DISTRICT HISTORICAL SOCIETY NEWSLETTER 143 FEBRUARY/MARCH 2000 Price 20p, free to members _________________________________________________________________________ Notes and News The British School The Society opposed an application for outline planning permission to demolish the old British School in Smarts Lane and to replace it with houses. The British School was the nonconformist primary school for Loughton, as opposed to the National School which was run by the Anglicans. It was sponsored by Loughton Baptists (the congregation that became the Union Church) and was built about 1844 in Smarts Lane, in the then traditional form of schoolroom and master's house adjoining and intercommunicating. In fact, the school was run by a mistress until 1865. It was reported in 1867 that the average attendance was 69 and the school attracted the approval of inspectors. The last headmaster was Joseph Hawkins Hayward, a Devonshire man. Hayward, who was a Wesleyan, ceased to be master in 1888, when the school was transferred to the new Loughton School Board, which opened Staples Road Boys’ School the same year. Hayward later became secretary to the Lopping Hall and the first clerk of the Loughton Urban District Council. After 1888 the British School building was at first used as a Sunday school, latterly by St Mary’s Church. But that use ceased when St Mary’s got its own hall. The building then had a variety of industrial uses, including as the works of F A Davies & Co, manufacturers of tennis racquets and, from about 1935, the Loughton Bag Manufacturing Co. It has recently been used by Taylor’s Shopfitters.
