AND KIDDLE KILL, KINGSTON-ON-THAMES. PREFACE. THIS is the second Edition of the Directory of the Three Counties in its present form. It has been found that in the more immediate suburbs of London there is very little demand for the County Directories, whilst there is a continually increasing demand for Annual Local Directories of these places, which have since the last edition of this volume been constituted Metropolitan Parliamentary Boroughs, viz.:—Fulham, Hackney, Hammersmith and Hamp- stead; of each of these a Local Directory, price Is. 6d., is published annually. i The contents are similar to those in previous editions—a general account is given of each County ; Lists of Hundreds and Poor Law Unions are in- cluded ; a sketch of the Geological Features of each County, by Mr. W. J- Harrison, is given : then follow the Places in each County, alphabetically arranged, with their Inhabitants, both Private Residents and Commercial; it is stated under each Parish in what Hundred, Union, and County Court District and Division of the County, as formed under the provisions of the " Eedistribution of Seats Act, 1885," as also in what Diocese, Archdeaconry, and Rural Deanery it is situated; and the College and University of every Beneficed Clergyman have been given, as far as they can be ascertained : the names of the Parish Clerks are given under each Parish; lists of Farm Bailiffs of Gentlemen farming their own land are included ; and the popula- tion of each place, from the Census of 1881, has been inserted. E. & H. a 2 IV PBEFACE. A new Hap of each County on a large scale is given. A new set of Indices referring to all places and persons mentioned in the Topographies have been * * given. The Proprietors have again to return their thanks to those Clergymen, Magistrates' Clerks, Registrars, and other Gentlemen who have assisted the Agents while collecting the information, • 51, GTBEAT QUEEN STREET, LINCOLN'S INN FIB LBS, LONDON, W.C, October t 1886.

Implementation…………………………………………………36 Policies Map & Inset Appendix A: Schedule of Evidence Chigwell Neighbourhood Plan Pre Submission Plan October 2016 2 Foreword The Chigwell Neighbourhood Plan provides the opportunity for Chigwell Parish Council and its residents to shape the Local Plan of Epping Forest District Council as far as it affects the Parish so as to provide the required amount of effective change and development necessary to meet its medium term future needs. It allows the full use of local knowledge to be employed so as to effect sensible solutions to difficult problems. As local people, we know what will work and what will not, which is key to the successful selection and planning of available sites to create an environment which will work at a number of different levels: economically, environmentally, socially and in terms of the availability of sufficient infrastructure to hold its future planning together. This Neighbourhood Plan emanates from the publishing of the Issues and Options Document supplied to all residents in 2012 by the District Council to which Chigwell residents gave a massive response ; disapproving of the sites being suggested as possibilities for housing within Chigwell.

  • Pick of the Churches
    Pick of the Churches The East of England is famous for its superb collection of churches. They are one of the nation's great treasures. Introduction There are hundreds of churches in the region. Every village has one, some villages have two, and sometimes a lonely church in a field is the only indication that a village existed there at all. Many of these churches have foundations going right back to the dawn of Christianity, during the four centuries of Roman occupation from AD43. Each would claim to be the best - and indeed, all have one or many splendid and redeeming features, from ornate gilt encrusted screens to an ancient font. The history of England is accurately reflected in our churches - if only as a tantalising glimpse of the really creative years between the 1100's to the 1400's. From these years, come the four great features which are particularly associated with the region. - Round Towers - unique and distinctive, they evolved in the 11th C. due to the lack and supply of large local building stone. - Hammerbeam Roofs - wide, brave and ornate, and sometimes strewn with angels. Just lay on the floor and look up! - Flint Flushwork - beautiful patterns made by splitting flints to expose a hard, shiny surface, and then setting them in the wall. Often it is used to decorate towers, porches and parapets. - Seven Sacrament Fonts - ancient and splendid, with each panel illustrating in turn Baptism, Confirmation, Mass, Penance, Extreme Unction, Ordination and Matrimony. Bedfordshire Ampthill - tomb of Richard Nicholls (first governor of Long Island USA), including cannonball which killed him.
