Today, the parish covers a large area, one of the biggest in the Hundred Parishes, incorporating the villages of Standon and Puckeridge and also the hamlets of Barwick, Colliers End, Latchford and Wellpond Green. Standon, Latchford and Barwick grew up beside the River Rib, which meanders from north to south through the middle of the parish. Puckeridge and Colliers End developed alongside Ermine Street, the old Roman road from London to Lincoln and York that later became a busy coaching route, especially serving London and Cambridge. A second Roman highway, Stane Street, ran between Colchester and St Albans, crossing Ermine Street at a Roman town whose location was close to the present northern parish boundary with Braughing, a boundary that is today largely defined by the old route of Stane Street. Wellpond Green is a relatively new residential hamlet. Much of Stane Street has become today’s A120, with a diversion that now runs to the south of Puckeridge.

Steve Bate 01279 842609 e-mail: [email protected] Churchwarden, Mrs Karin Green 01279 - 771532 [email protected] Log on to www.littlehadham.com for issues dating back to May 2006 Letter from the Rectory Revd. Steve Bate Many years ago, I was shown a letter written about me. It was written by the Diocesan Director of Ordinands – the person responsible for recommending people for ordained ministry. He’d met with me to form his opinion about my suitability for ordained ministry. “What might he have to say?” I wondered, as the letter was unfolded in front of me. There’s one word I still remember after all those years. The very first sentence of the letter began by describing me as a disciple. I was shocked! I thought the word ‘disciple’ was for special people who were with Jesus during his earthly ministry or, at least, exceptionally spiritual people. Me - a disciple? Surely not. It was the last word I’d think of using to describe myself. It got me thinking, though. It made me reflect on what it really means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. It made me realise that, strange as it may sound, all Christians are disciples – learners. We are people who are learning to be more like Jesus Christ himself. When Jesus called his first disciples to follow him, he was calling them to a life of being with him and learning from him - being his apprentices so as to become like him.

  • Issue 9 Community Magazine for Furneux Pelham & Stocking Pelham
    Issue 9 Community magazine for Furneux Pelham & Stocking Pelham Delivered free to all households in Furneux Pelham & Stocking Pelham WELCOME TO THE NINTH EDITION Welcome all to the ninth edition of ‘The Pelhams’ and in particular to our latest local advertisers, Andrew Banks and Simon Langsdale. Please check out their ads. This month, several of our reports happily suggest a tentative step forward after the 2020 lockdown. While neither village hall is able to open to individual hirers yet, both are actively planning for the future, with a refurbishment at Stocking Pelham and the imminent installation of wi-fi in Furneux Pelham. Our local school and pre-school are planning for a very different world when September comes. Both our churches too are gradually re-opening. Thank you to all those concerned who are steering these establishments through the minefield of ever-changing government guidance. Please keep your articles coming – we’d love to showcase the achievements, talents and interests of people of all ages. As ever, keep safe. Contributions to: [email protected] Cover photo The cover shows a sketch of the Hall in Furneux Pelham, signed by the renowned Arts and Crafts artist and etcher Frederick Landseer Griggs. In 1900, he had been commissioned by Macmillan and Company to illustrate the Hertfordshire edition of a new series of county guides. This sketch must have been created at some time between 1900 and 1913, (when the ‘Highways and Byways of Hertfordshire’ was published.) He used his motorcycle to travel between locations, often making two or more drawings in one day.

Deposited by Messrs. Boulton Sons and Sandeman for the Cannon Brewery. Inventory compiled: LAccession 162] March 1968 D/ECb Introduction This collection consists of deeds incident to the conveyance of the vhole of the Hoddesdon Brewery and all its licensed houses in 1866 and titl e deeds of some of those houses and of others that were acquired later. The expansion of Hoddesdon Brewery dates from its purchase by William Whittingstall from Rene Briand in 1781. From that date til l his death in 1803, rfhittingstall systematically enlarged the brewery*s commercial outlets by buying up a number of public houses in the surrounding district. Messrs. John Christie and George Cathrow bought the property from Vhittingstall's executors and at the death of Cathrow in 1842 it was sold privately to a new partnership of Messrs. Peter Christie, John Back and Robert Hunt. After Peter Christie's death and when 3ack and Hunt had retired to their country estates, the firm was conveyed in 1866 to Charles Peter Christie. On his death in 1898 it was turned into a public company which 30 years later was absorbed by the Cannon Brewery of London, later controlled by Taylor, Valker and Co. and now by the Ind Coope combine.

  • Summary of Responses to the Thundridge Neighbourhood Plan (Regulation 16 Consultation) Summary Document of Representations: Orga
    Summary of Responses to the Thundridge Neighbourhood Plan (Regulation 16 Consultation) Summary Document of Representations: This Document provides a summary of representations received during the Regulation 16 consultation on the Thundridge Neighbourhood Development Plan. This summary does not contain an exhaustive list of every representation and detail received. All comments received during the consultation were sent to the Independent Examiner in their entirety. Organisation Summary of Comments Savills on behalf of Thames Thames Water is the statutory sewerage undertaker for part of the Borough and is hence a “specific Water consultation body” in accordance with the Town & Country Planning (Local Development) Regulations 2012. From the 1st April 2018 all off site wastewater network reinforcement works necessary as a result of new development are delivered by the relevant statutory undertaker. Local reinforcement works will be funded by the Infrastructure Charge which is a fixed charge for water and wastewater for each new property connected. Policy WAT6 of the East Herts District Plan relates to wastewater infrastructure issues and requires that development proposals must ensure that adequate wastewater infrastructure capacity is available in advance of the occupation of development. To assist with ensuring that any development considers the wastewater infrastructure implications at an early stage and to help ensure that any necessary upgrades to the sewerage network are programmed to align with new development it is suggested that additional text as set out below is added to Policy THFS6 on Infrastructure or supporting text for the Policy. “In order to ensure that development proposals comply with Policy WAT6 of the East Herts District Plan developers are advised to contact Thames Water at an early stage to discuss the drainage requirements for their development.

  • Circular Walks – Number 136 Westmill and Aspenden - 5.2 Miles (8 Kms)
    The Hundred Parishes Circular Walks – number 136 Westmill and Aspenden - 5.2 miles (8 kms) This walk is a mixture of countryside and an exploration of two attractive Hertfordshire villages. It is moderately hilly, mainly on quiet lanes and good paths. There are no stiles. Westmill has a pub and a tea room and there is a pub in Aspenden. Start and finish: The walk starts and finishes from Westmill Church where there is room for several cars to park in the road beside the wall of the cemetery. Ordnance Survey Grid Reference: TL370272 - Postcode: SG9 9LJ. The route can be followed on Ordnance Survey Explorer Map 194. A diagram of the route is provided at the end of the description. Before getting boots wet or muddy, you might like to visit Westmill’s parish church, dedicated to St Mary the Virgin. It dates from the 12th century with substantial additions in the 15th and much rebuilding work in 1876. One of the church’s six bells is exceptionally ancient, dating from 1350 AD. From the churchyard, return to the road and when safe cross to the “pavement” on the far side and turn right. On the left we pass an attractive series of cottages whose origins range from the 16th century to the 18th. Most are listed buildings. On the right, the unusually-named pub, The Sword in Hand, dates from the 16th century. It was once a house but has been an inn for over 200 years. Its name comes from the coat of arms of the Greg family who lived at Coles Park in the south of Westmill parish.

This includes their geographical location within and overlooking the Rib Valley, with the open landscape of arable fields and hedgerows which surround the settlements (see BCA Map of the Neighbourhood Plan area), and the presence of patches and strips of ancient woodland throughout the area.
