The Essex Field Club
THE ESSEX FIELD CLUB HEADQUARTERS: THE PASSMORE EDWARDS MUSEUM, ROMFORD ROAD, STRATFORD, LONDON, E15 4LZ NEWSLETTER NO. 14 August 1995 LACEWINGS AND ALLIES IN ESSEX Even non-entomologists must recognise a green lacewing when they see one. Though there are 76 British species (including four snake flies, three alder flies and four scorpion flies) we have only one which hibernates and this is the one which is frequently found lying dead on window ledges and in garden sheds during the spring. Exactly ten years ago, back in 1985, when the Passmore Edwards Museum still had a Natural History Department, I produced a set of distribution maps for lacewings and allies in the county. These showed some 34 recorded in recent years together with a further four that had been recorded donkey’s years ago but had not been seen since. At that time, the study of lacewings had, for some reason, been largely ignored by British entomologists, though our European counterparts, especially the Austrians and Hungarians, were approaching these familiar insects in a rather more thorough manner. However, things have moved on apace in the intervening decade. The Essex list now stands at a rather more impressive 46 species reported since 1979, with a further 4 not recorded since the turn of the century. North Essex and South Essex vice counties compare well, with 39 and 41 species since 1979, respectively. I am sure there are half a dozen or so more to be discovered yet! Over the same period, no less than 8 new species have been added to the formal list for the British Isles. -

19Th Century Crime in Galleywood
I never knew that about Essex JUST OFF THE HIGH STREET in Chipping Ongar can be found the small Catholic church of St Helen’s, which has a stained-glass window, known as ‘the Titanic window’, and it is a memorial to Father Thomas R.D. Byles, who lost his life in the tragic sinking of the RMS Titanic in April 1912. Father Byles arrived as the minister at St Helen’s in 1905 and early in 1912 he accepted an invitation to officiate at the wedding Number 36 NOVEMBER 2011 www.essexinfo.net/galleywoodhistoricalsociety of his younger brother in New York, hence the reason for him being a passenger on the fateful voyage.
