Birdbrook News February 2017 Page 2 a Few New Year Thoughts from the Editor Issue 79 February 2017 Community House Makeover YOU WILL doubtless have noticed that the Community House is looking very spick and span for the start of this new year, having had a bit of a makeover. The most obvious sign of which is the exterior work on the thatch to replace the ridge, but the interior has also been redecorated. The work on the roof was carried out by Cobb Thatching of St. Ives, Cambridgeshire in the early weeks of December. Continued on page 16 Village Sign for Birdbrook Never Miss a Meeting! READERS will be pleased to hear that the WE’RE all familiar with the old office rules of Parish Council has been successful in securing a ‘never miss a meeting’ and ‘don't volunteer’.

Perhaps this is because we are now of parties “carrying on as before” and either just the generation where these people became not listening to, or completely ignoring what the much larger than life and our opportunities to public wanted. Looking at what is happening in see them and what they did became easier and Italy and Greece in this respect and what we are we therefore feel we know them better and of told of upcoming elections in France and course they are of our age group but some were Germany in 2017 then we can possibly expect a still appreciated by and enjoyed by younger few more of these outcomes going against the generations!

A hybrid planning application (11/01169/OUT) for the partial redevelopment of the site in two phases (Phase 1 & Phase 2), was submitted to Braintree District Council in August 2011. The following archaeological investigation was undertaken in advance of Phase 1 of the redevelopment, which comprises the erection of two new retail buildings, associated parking and a new access road (Fig 2). The site is located within an area of archaeological potential. Roman building remains have been identified to the north of the development area (EHER 6958-62) and Roman burials were excavated in the late 18th and 19th centuries near the road junction to the south of the site (EHER 6963-64). For more information on the historical background of the area and details of archaeological finds recovered in the vicinity, see the Essex County Council brief (O’Connor 2012) and the Written Scheme of Investigation (CAT 2012), both of which are appended to this report.

  • Braintree District Council Moyns Park Steeple Bumpstead
    BRAINTREE DISTRICT COUNCIL MOYNS PARK STEEPLE BUMPSTEAD TL 695 407 Late Victorian manor house garden, incorporating remains of a complex moated site of C13 or C14 date. Vestigial avenues dating from at least C18. HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT According to Morant, the estate of Moyns takes its name from the family of Le Moign (Moyne) who were holding the manor by the middle of C13. The daughter and heir of William Moyne married William Gent of Wimbish in the mid C15, but as a widow bought back the manor in 1494 from Richard Martin. Her descendant Thomas Gent achieved great success under Elizabeth and, among other positions and honours, was created a Baron of the Exchequer by her in 1588. He was responsible for adding the main façade to the mansion, which sits in front of the older house, and also remodelled the south-west wing ‘with the addition on the outer side of a connecting gallery corridor, extensively glazed and looking out over what was probably a newly formed garden’ (Michael Leach, Essex Archaeology & History News, Spring 2001). In the late 1590s the north-west wing was also completely reconstructed, and through the following centuries the house was adapted to the changing needs of the family. The Gents owned Moyns Park until 1879, when it was bought by Major-General St. John Ives, in whose family it remained until 1952, with the house being used during the Second World War as a military hospital. The estate was then sold to Ivar Bryce, a great-nephew of the Mahor-General, and on his death in 1985 it passed to sons of his cousin, Janet, Marchioness of Milford Haven.

  • DS(2019)01 1 DIOCESAN SYNOD Title
    DS(2019)01 DIOCESAN SYNOD Title: MISSION AND MINISTRY UNITS Author: BISHOP OF CHELMSFORD Date: 16 MARCH 2019 1. INTRODUCTION At its meeting on 2 March 2013 the Chelmsford Diocesan Synod approved the proposal that Mission and Ministry Units (hereinafter referred to as MMUs) be formed as a response to the need to re-imagine ministry in the Diocese. This paper set out the progress to date on the formation of MMUs and sets a goal for the completion of the formation of MMUs by the end of 2020. Since that decision there have, of course, been changes to the membership of Diocesan Synod and therefore, particularly to assist newer members, appended (in Appendix 1) to this paper or enclosed with the Synod meeting pack are two documents, ‘Guidelines for the Formation of a Mission and Ministry Unit’ and ‘Mission & Ministry Units - a simple guide’, which will help to prepare members for this item. 2. MMU PROGRESS To date a total of 27 MMUs have been given formal approval by their Area Mission and Pastoral Committee. Not all of these have been commissioned as yet. These MMUs comprise a total of 148 benefices and 252 parishes within the Diocese. A simple plan showing those parts of the diocese where an MMU has been approved is included in Appendix 2. The approval of MMUs has involved a great deal of hard work from the clergy and laity in the parishes involved. Area Deans, Lay Chair and Archdeacons in particular have contributed a great deal of effort in facilitating the formation of MMUs, which cannot be done justice in this paper.

  • The Stour Valley Heritage Compendia the Historic Landscape Compendium
    The Stour Valley Heritage Compendia The Historic Landscape Compendium by Howard Brooks BA MIfA FSA THE HISTORIC LANDSCAPE COMPENDIUM Acknowledgements No writing is entirely a fresh creation and this less than most. The extent to which I have drawn the superb Historical Atlas of Suffolk (Dymond and Martin 1999) is evident in the list of references below, but I have also used extensively the comprehensive and detailed Stour Valley Landscape Partnership’s Historical Landscape Study (Amstutz, Blake, et al, 2008), which forms the backbone of Section 4 of this chapter of the Compendium. It would be invidious to pick out any authors whose landscape work is prominent here, but the giants tend to be visible anyway. Norman Scarfe is perhaps the grandfather of Suffolk landscape studies, and he has worthy followers in the outstanding staff of the Suffolk County Archaeology Service – County Archaeologist Stanley West, his successor Keith Wade, and Judith Plouviez. But I would particularly like to mention one man whose work underpins so much of what I have drawn on here, and that is Edward Martin. At a national level, Christopher Taylor, Tom Williamson, and more recently Stephen Rippon, are pre- eminent among landscape archaeologists. In Essex, the County Archaeologists David Buckley and Owen Bedwin oversaw a period in which much landscape archaeology was carried out, and the work of John Hunter who was then head of Environmental Services at ECC deserves wider recognition. Amateur archaeologists have always played a major role in detecting and exploring local archaeological sites. To mention a few, the Colchester Archaeological Group and the Haverhill Archaeological Groups, Mike Matthews in Cornard, and the Nayland Fieldwalking Group under John and June Wallace.
