  • Memorial to the Fallen of Danbury, 1914 1919
    MEMORIAL TO THE FALLEN OF DANBURY, 1914 1919 1 Men named on the Danbury memorial, and on the tablet within St John ’s Church, Danbury, who lost their lives in the first world war The list of names has been there in the village for all to see since the memorial was put in place in 1926. Now, research has been undertaken to see what we can learn about those men, their lives, their service and their families. The list of names may not be complete. There was no government led undertaking to commemorate the fallen, or central records used; it was up to individual parishes to decide what to do. Maybe there was a parish meeting, or a prominent local person might have set things in motion, or the Royal British Legion, and parishioners would have been asked for the names of those lost. Sometimes men were associated with more than one parish, and would have relatives putting their names forward in each of them. Occasionally people did not wish the name of their loved one to be there, to be seen each time they walked past, a constant reminder of their loss. Various websites have been consulted, namely the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, Findmypast and Forces War Records. My thanks go also to Ian Hook at The Essex Regiment Museum who helped me to track down some of the men and to Alan Ridgway who allowed me to use material from his and Joanne Phillips’ comprehensive study of the lives of the “Great War Heroes of Little Baddow and their Families”, regarding Joseph Brewer and Charles Rodney Wiggins.

  • Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, Little Baddow
    PARISH CHURCH OF ST MARY THE VIRGIN, LITTLE BADDOW. WELCOME ….. to this ancient and interesting church, which has a pleasant and peaceful situation at the northern end of the parish, near the River Chelmer and at the foot of the gentle rise of Danbury Hill, upon the slope of which is situated the main residential area of the parish. People have worshipped here for at least 900 years and throughout its long history, generations of Baddow folk have altered, improved and beautified this ancient building. Today it is still in regular use for Christian worship; the purpose for which it was built. We hope that you will enjoy exploring St Mary‟s and discover its features of interest and beauty. Above all, we hope that you will feel “at home” here in our Father‟s House. No visitor can fail to appreciate the love and care given to this church by its present-day custodians, who have recently spent thousands of pounds upon the building. Please pray for the priest and people whose Spiritual Home this is, and who welcome any contributions that their visitors could spare, to help them keep their ancient church intact and beautiful for future generations to use and enjoy. * * * * * * * * * EXTERIOR The church stands attractively in a trim churchyard, from which the ground descends to the west, thus explaining the unusual arrangement of buttresses which strengthen the sturdy tower. The north-west buttress is diagonal, whereas the south-west corner has angle buttresses. This 52 ft high tower is mostly work of the 14th century and has a fine west doorway with Decorated (early 14th century) window above it.

  • Chelmsford City Council Review of Polling Districts and Polling Places 2014
    APPENDIX 1 CHELMSFORD CITY COUNCIL REVIEW OF POLLING DISTRICTS AND POLLING PLACES 2014 Introduction The aim of the review is to ensure that polling districts are logical and reflect the local community and that polling places are conveniently located and accessible. This review is an opportunity for electors and any other interested parties within Chelmsford to express their views on the existing polling district boundaries and polling places. A polling district is a geographical sub-division of an electoral area. All wards within Chelmsford are divided into polling districts, which form the basis upon which the register of electors is produced. Most are defined by parish boundaries, geographical or man-made features, but there are exceptions. A polling place is the geographical area within which a polling station is located. In the absence of any legal definition, this can be regarded as widely as the entire polling district or as narrowly as the actual building used as a polling station. Summary of Proposals Other than those referred to below, no changes are proposed to existing polling districts and polling places. The exceptions are: Proposal Polling district Proposal Polling district Proposal Polling district No. No. No. 11 Dorset Avenue 20 Central 63 Broomfield North 14 Civic 28 Melbourne 67 Little Waltham 15 Rectory Lane 34 Holy Trinity 68 Chignal 19 Victoria Road 57 Collingwood 74 Writtle South 1 PROPOSALS Proposal Polling District Proposal for District Reason for District Proposal Map No. No. Parliamentary Electorate (Aug 2014) Proposal for Polling Place Reason for Polling Place Proposal Existing Polling Place Chelmsford Constituency / Chelmer Village and Beaulieu Park Ward 1.
