  • Chipping Barnet Team Parish Profile
    Chipping Barnet Team Parish Profile November 2013 Team Overview Location Chipping Barnet is a multi-layered collection of communities that does not reveal its true self at first, or second, glance. In civic and political terms, Barnet (of which Chipping Barnet is a part) is a borough on the northern edge of Greater London. Economically the population covers the socio-economic spectrum, from affluent Hadley and Arkley, to the deprived Whitings Hill and Dollis Valley Estate. The Parish of Chipping Barnet is situated at the extreme southern tip of St Albans Diocese, to the point where London diocese parishes exist between us and our cathedral. Culturally and socially, the church urban fund (www.cuf.org.uk) places us 289 out of the 339 parishes in the diocese, which puts us among the most deprived of parishes. We are ranked around 8000 out of the 13000 parishes in the UK - a “relatively deprived” parish in national terms. The Church Urban Fund identify lone parenthood and child poverty as the two key concerns, and, as mentioned within the individual church sections, we actively support the Chipping Barnet foodbank and the Winter Night Shelter scheme (which offers food and a place to sleep for homeless people throughout the winter months). The Team Rector has a significant civic role as well as the more usual pastoral activities. As well as sitting on the governing body of the two Queen Elizabeth Schools, there are ex-officio posts on the trustees of four locally endowed charities. For example, the Hyde Foundation owns the historic library building in the centre of the Barnet conservation area and has the disbursement of the rental on the property to support the education of young people who live within the boundary of the old parish of St John the Baptist and that of our neighbours in Monken Hadley.

  • A Brief History of Waltham Cross
    History of Waltham Cross Eleanor Monument The resting place of Queen Eleanor during her funeral procession was known as Waltham and the location was already known to Edward l as he, like former kings, hunted in Waltham Forest. The abbey was built 350 years earlier, during the reign of King Harold. When Edward died at Burgh on The Sands in Cumbria his body was kept at the Abbey for five weeks before its interment at Westminster Abbey in London. It is believed that the location chosen for the monument was a hamlet a mile away from Waltham. It was a main road at a crossroad point where travellers would be able to view it from several directions. In 1720, Stamford Vicar William Stukeley, made a drawing of the monument at Waltham Cross and presented it to the newly founded Society of Antiquaries. They undertook works to protect it from the increasing traffic. In 1795, Sir George Prescott tried to have it moved to Theobalds Park, but failed after official intervention. The first major restoration took place in 1833 by WB Clark, but these improvements lasted just 50 years and further work was required in the 1880s. Eleanor Cross Road was bombed during World War Two, and although the monument didn’t suffer a direct hit it was damaged by the resulting tremors. Following the war, in 1950 a major restoration took place. The statutes were relocated briefly to Cheshunt library and for a time they were stored in Cedars Park conservatory before being loaned long term to the Victoria and Albert Museum for safe keeping.

  • Royal Connections to Dunstable
    Royal DUNSTABLE Connections One of twelve resting places for Queen Eleanor's funeral procession in 1290. Henry I established a town around the crossroads in Dunstable around 1109 and by 1123 had built a royal residence, to take advantage of the hunting grounds. The site is now occupied by the Old Palace Lodge Hotel, Kingsbury Court and the Norman King pub (which was sadly burned down in August 2011). On the wall outside the Norman King was the following inscription: "On the site of this inn and the adjoining ground, Henry I had a palace built where he regularly stayed from 1109, and which was known as Kingsbury." Henry founded a priory (a small monastery) in Dunstable in 1131. He granted the prior control of Dunstable Priory - founded 1131 : Chris Smith the town. However he had already promised the townspeople the same freedoms as the citizens of In 1291 the King ordered crosses to be erected to mark the London.

The ALGG SPG document is guidance that is supplementary to London Plan policies. While it does not have the same formal development plan status as these policies, it has been formally adopted by the Mayor as supplementary guidance under his powers under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended). Adoption followed a period of public consultation, and a summary of the comments received and the responses of the Mayor to those comments is available on the Greater London Authority website. It will therefore be a material consideration in drawing up development plan documents and in taking planning decisions.
