  • RIVER STORT DRAFT CATCHMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN May 1991
    NRA Thames 252 RIVER STORT DRAFT CATCHMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN FLOOD DEFENCE AND THE ENVIRONMENT May 1991 NRA National Rii'ers Authority Thames Region U lJ \ T lW ltS RIVER STORT DRAFT CATCHMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR FLOOD DEFENCE AND THE ENVIRONMENT MAY 1991 prepared by The National Rivers Authority Thames Region with the assistance of Land Use Consultants Flynn and Kothweii Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust Essex Wildlife Trust Lee Donaldson Associates ENVIRONMENT AGENCY 123198 A VISION FOR THE RIVER STORT CATCHMENT The river corridors of ihe Stort Catchment are a valuable natural resource, comprising sensitive ecological habitats, a landscape of considerable diversity and value, and areas which are popular for informal recreation. The Stort Navigation is of particular historical significance and its characteristics make it unique in the Thames Region. The objective of the NRA TR is to conserve and, wherever possible, enhance the value of this resource. This will be achieved through appropriate direct management of the water environment, including the provision of appropriate standards of urban flood protection, and partnership with the riparian local authorities, British Waterways Board and other interested organisations. A central part of this objective is to secure the designation of the corridor of the Lower Stort Valley and the Stort Navigation as a ’Special Heritage Area* in the statutory development plans. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Aim of the Catchment Management Plan Under the 1989 Water Act the National Rivers Authority (NRA) is required to conserve and enhance the water environment. Such an important role requires a multi-disciplinary approach; catchment management planning seeks to provide a multi-disciplinary strategy for each catchment.

  • Great Hallingbury Parish Council Response to the NATS Stansted
    GREAT HALLINGBURY PARISH COUNCIL IN THE COUNTY OF ESSEX MRS F.M.R. TOWNSEND 7 THE GROVE CLERK OF THE COUNCIL GREAT HALLINGBURY BISHOP’S STORTFORD TEL: 01279 465790 HERTS. CM22 7TT. e.mail: [email protected] Stansted SID Airspace Consultation, Box 25A, 4000 Parkway, PO15 7FL. 26th August 2014 NATS Departure Route Proposal at London Stansted Airport. Proposal to change existing departure routes from Stansted, heading east, from the Dover SID to the Clacton SID. The documents provided by NATS on this consultation show flight paths but no indication of noise levels. Great Hallingbury is the nearest village affected by aircraft departing from Runway 22 and we therefore accept that noise levels here will be higher than other villages along the flight path. Back in June 2001 when it was proposed that the turn point should be changed from 1.5m to 1.0m, there was much debate among the villages of Hatfield Broad Oak, Hatfield Heath, Little Hallingbury and Great Hallingbury. Great Hallingbury Parish Council made the decision to agree to the change for the good of our neighbouring villages, even though it meant more noise over our own village. This declaration was made through the Uttlesford Association of Local Councils, and on conditional assurance from Stansted Airport Limited that every endeavour would be made to centralise aircraft along the NPR line. Since that time there has been a massive increase in air traffic. The centre of the NPR on both Clacton and Dover routes varies little actually over Great Hallingbury, however the problem is that aircraft on the Clacton route invariably turn early and fly to the east of the NPR flying directly over houses in our village.

  • The Dorringtonsi of Burstead Farm
    The Dorringtonsi of Burstead Farm Philip Hays1 Thirty-three men are commemorated on the Little Hallingbury War Memorial. Sixteen of these men have a known grave. Fourteen of these graves are situated in France or Flanders, but two men are buried in Little Hallingbury, in the Burial Ground at Gaston Green: George Dorrington and Thomas Dorrington. They were the sons of Daniel and Alice Dorrington, who are also buried in Gaston Green. Daniel and Alice had four sons, all of whom served their king and country during the Great War. Three of these sons “laid down their lives” for their brethren. A fourth son was awarded the Military Medal in recognition of his bravery. Daniel Samuel Dorrington was born in Sawbridgeworth in 1859. In 1901 he was living at Burstead Farm, giving his occupation as a “poultry man”. His wife, Alice, was born Alice Jennings in Spellbrook in 1861. They married in 1883 and had four sons and two daughters, all born in Great Hallingbury, probably in Spellbrook. Their eldest son, George, was born in 1884. Their elder daughter, Emily was born in 1886. Their younger daughter, Mary Ann was born in 1888. Ernest Daniel, their second son, was born in 1890. Thomas Charles, their third son, was born in 1892. Albert George, their youngest son, was born in 1896. Daniel Samuel Dorrington died on 2nd February, 1907, aged 48. 1 Philip Hays is currently President of the Stort Valley Probus Club, a local historian and former headteacher of Sheering Primary School for 26 years. 1 In 1911 Alice was living in Burstead Farm with three of her younger sons, Ernest, Thomas and Albert.

  • History of Down Hall
    History of Down Hall Down Hall was one of ten ancient medieval manors in the Parish of Hatfield, later known as Hatfield Broad Oak, which at the time of the Norman conquest, was already a well-established Saxon settlement. Popular for hunting in the neighbouring forest, the royal estate came to be known as Hatfield Regis, or King's Hatfield, partly to distinguish it from Hatfield Peverel, also in Essex. At one time a royal estate of Harold II, Hatfield fell into the possession of William the Conqueror after the battle of Hastings in 1066. At around nearly 9,000 acres (14 sq miles) Hatfield Regis was one of the largest parishes in Essex that at the time of the reign of Edward the Confessor (1042-1066), was already referred to as an ancient demesne – a demesne being all the land retained and managed by a lord of the manor under the feudal system for his own use and occupation or support. We know from records that at this time, Hatfield was formerly divided into four quarters: Town Quarter, Wood Row Quarter, Hatfield Heath Quarter, and Broomsend Quarter, across which these ten manors would have been sited. In the Norman French of ancient deeds, Down Hall is referred to as La Donne, and remarkably from surviving Anglo Saxon records, we find mention of it as Dunhall. During the reign of the Confessor, it belonged to Ulwin, Thegn of Edmund Ætheling. A Thegn was a person ranking between an Earl and an ordinary freeman, holding land of the king or a lord in return for services; and Edmund Ætheling was a member of the royal House of Wessex and the nephew of Edward the Confessor.

Steve Bate Where did this last year go? I’ve found myself saying this to people again and again whenever they say to me “Isn’t it a year since you came here?” They’re right – a whole year has gone by. It’s been such a fulfilling year that’s flown by and I thank God for calling me and Val here, to Albury, Little Hadham and Much Hadham. A year on from my start at the end of September 2016 the season of autumn has come round again. Right now we’re benefitting from the generosity of our neighbours as they share the fruit from their heavily laden trees and behind our house the harvest is over. The period of growth is over, the harvest is gathered in. The Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes puts it like this: “There is a time for planting and a time for uprooting.” This passage begins with the words “There’s a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.” The seasons come and go, our circumstances change – sometimes happy, sometimes sad.
