Southern District NEWSLETTER St ESSEX ASSOCIATION OF CHANGE RINGerS NO. 134 AUGUST 2014 SOUTHern DIstrICT NEWSLETTER ST. THOMAS OF CAnterBURY, BrentwOOD A chapel was built on the current site in 1835 following independence from the parish of South Weald. It was subsequently demolished and the present building was consecrated in 1883. The tower, spire (170 ft. tall), and bells were added in 1887. By the late 1990s the installation of eight bells required major refurbishment. Work started in July 2008. The bells initially went to the Whitechapel Bell Foundry (where they were cast) for cleaning and re-tuning before being transported to Nicholson’s for modification and re-installation in the original but strengthened cast-iron frame. The project was completed by Christmas 2008 and rededicated in March 2009. The bells are tuned to D# Major with the treble weighing 5cwt-0qtrs-11lbs, and the tenor bell 18cwt-1qtr-15lbs. Practice nights alternate with Shenfield and are on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Thursdays (7.45 to 9.00pm). DIstrICT MeetING 3.30 pm Ringing • 4.30 pm Service • 5.30 pm Tea followed by meeting.

Our first tower was the ground floor eight at Over; these proved quite a challenge as we are all too used to ringing on upstairs sixes with short draughts! Unfortunately, one of the local residents didn’t appreciate our ringing and was overheard saying, “*#?! off, ****** bell ringers” – Jean will be able to tell you exactly what the unprintable words were! Hemingford Grey Hemingford Next was Fenstanton, a ground floor six, where the church and village was being prepared for an open gardens afternoon. Yet another ground floor ring followed, this time the eight in the riverside town of St Ives. Lunch followed, with some people picnicking by the river and others sampling the local hostelries. By this time the weather had become really hot and sunny, and several couldn’t resist an ice cream by the river and the historic town bridge with a chapel built into it. Next was Hemingford Grey, surely one of the most picturesque settings for a church. The tower was slightly unusual with a truncated tower, and is just a few yards away from the river. A course of Ouse Surprise Major was rung here, followed by the customary group picture. Next up were our fourth ground floor ring of the day at Houghton, just by the National Trust mill. The NT tea room proved too much of a temptation, and several sneaked off from ringing to have cream teas and ice creams. Our last tower was the heavy eight at Godmanchester. By now we were all getting tired, but everyone seemed to have had an enjoyable day. Thanks to everyone who came along. The outing made a profit of £66, which has been donated to the Essex Association Bell Restoration Account.

  • Transfer of Eastern National Grays Area Services to London Transport
    TRANSFER OF EASTERN NATIONAL GRAYS AREA SERVICES TO LONDON TRANSPORT 1933-1951 By Alan Osborne THE EASTERN NATIONAL ENTHUSIASTS GROUP TRANSFER OF EASTERN NATIONAL GRAYS AREA SERVICES TO LONOON TRANSPORT 1933 • 1951 By Alan Osborne The Eastern National Enthusiasts Group 1980 INTRODUCTION This book replaces our fo:rmer Publication E.P.14 and is in essence a complete history of bus services in the Grays area from the early days until 1952. Some notes on the 1979 exchange have also been included to finish the story. This is the first major production by the Eastern National Enthusiasts Group following the re-organisation and expansion of the committee institu.ted in 1979. The present author then assumed his new role as Cba.irma.n & Founder, with a lesser administrative workload, which allowed more time to be devoted to historical research for publications such as the present study. Area route maps have been included, but since the central areas of Grays and Tilbury appear ver:y small, enlarged street plans (as at 1951/2) of the two towns, with the streets, timing points and terminals referred to in the tex.t all located, are appended. on page 39. Many friends and colleagues have offered assistance and I am especially grateful to Frank Simpson, Nick Agnew, John Smith, Bob Palmer and Martin Weyell for helpful discussions and loan of material. Much information was also gleaned from material in the Omnibus Society library through the kind auspices of Brian Walter. Special tribute must also be made to Bob Beaumont of F.astern National for providing.

    THAMES ESTUARY PATH: Tilbury Town to Southend ! Introduction There has been a long-term ambition to create a path from Central London, through East London and Essex, to Southend for some time. Over the years numerous parts of the path have been achieved but many gaps remain. In 2008, the cycling and transport charity SUSTRANS carried out a complete survey of the path for the Department of Communities and Local Government (CLG) and this is on the CLG website if you search under “Thames Estuary Path”. The Thames Estuary Path through Essex is an amazing path taking you past Thameside Forts, ancient Churches, through Thames Marshes and along the sea wall over-looking internationally important marshes and mudflats. From Tilbury to Southend it is approximately 30 miles, but the route has the advantage of being shadowed by C2C railway line with stations at Tilbury Town, East Tilbury, Stanford-le-Hope, Pitsea, Benfleet, Leith, Chalkwell and Southend-on-Sea. This enables the walker or cyclist to do “short sections” and returning on the train. The beauty of this route is you can choose to start at one station and walk for as much as you like and then get the train back. The stations are generally 3 to 4 miles or 6 to 8 kms apart. When describing the route the distance from Tilbury Town station is shown in brackets when the path passes subsequent stations. Sensible Precautions All walking is inherently risky and before starting your journey you should consider: • Food and drink • Walking sticks (if necessary) • Sun screen (summer) • Warm and waterproof clothing • Sound footwear especially as many parts of the path are muddy outside summer.

  • Thurrock 1973-1996
    Thurrock Borough Council Election Results 1973-1996 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election.
