Gosfield Grapevine Gosfield Grapevine Cinders of the Caribbean Issue 65—February 2015 Gosfield Parish Council 2 CHAIRMAN’S NOTES!! Those of you that read Chairman’s Notes have probably gathered by now how much I value and appreciate all the work done by volunteers for clubs and societies, and for the village. It seems to me that much of what we class as ‘community’ comes from what people do voluntarily. There must be dozens and dozens of you that are filling a wide variety of roles in the village for no pay (and this even includes the Parish Council!). Thank you all so much for your time, effort and dedication. Those of you that belong to a club or society, or are involved in working with volunteers, are probably aware of some of the limitations that often arise. When you look at your committee, a volunteer, treasurer, chairman or secretary, you may allow yourself a private thought about some of their shortcomings, but, on the whole, things manage to tick along. Perhaps the job they do could be done quicker or better by a professional, but you appreciate the willingness of the volunteer and make the best of it. In a small village such as ours, this seems to me the essence of what our community is about. Even though it may not be perfect, there is a certain ownership and involvement that comes with this kind of volunteer service, that helps build a cohesive, inclusive and resilient community – long may it continue in Gosfield. The reason I mention this now, is the decision by the Parish Council at January’s meeting to change the grass cutting arrangements for the award winning children’s play area. For the last few years, the grass cutting has been done by Peter Wood, a volunteer, who has used the Playing Field’s ride-on mower and cut the grass on a regular basis. The ride on mower has been put out of action on occasions because of molehills, and due to the uneven ground can- not cut the grass very short. The vote (6-3) was in favour of a more professional, paid for service, to have more control over how and when the grass is cut, and to have shorter grass. As a member of the council I accept this majority vote (the alternative would be to resign). I haven’t changed my own views, but it does reflect, however, the new ‘personality’- ambience, mood music, flavour - of the current council. It’s just different from the last one, and I felt I needed to explain this to you, especially as in earlier Chairman’s Notes I have often extolled the virtues of volunteers in the village. I still hold this view very strongly. My vision is one in which more and more residents involve themselves where possible and practical in making the village what it is. There will, of course, be times when it really is better to pay someone to do a job – it’s just a judgement call at the time. There are other projects that I hope will be opportunities for volunteers to cement community involvement – one is the growing band of helpers in the nature reserve work parties, another might be to scrape back the overgrowing grass and vegetation on some of the pavements (you may have noticed last year that this was done by The Spinney, and more recently at the entrance to Greenfields). I am sure there will be many more opportunities. Incidentally, we could just pay someone to do it all, but that would increase your Council Tax and involve no community spirit at all. My sincere thanks to all the volunteers in the village3 – and especially Peter Wood for all his hard work over the last few years. Max Ford Hello from the Fete Committee. Saturday July 2nd will be this year’s Fete day and planning is well under way, the organising committee members are working hard to put a great day together and details will emerge in the next editions of the Grapevine. We will be running the evening event again which will follow on after the Prize Draw with entertainment for the children and then two local bands providing the music until later in the evening, completing a memorable day and another great community event. Full details will be published in the program which will be available from early June. The theme this year is ‘The 1920’s’, being the decade that saw the birth of Queen Elizabeth II which is our, albeit tenuous, link to the Queen’s 90th Birthday celebrations and a great subject for float builders and costume makers. And while we’re on the subject of floats, the committee would like to ask for nominations for the Queen and Princesses to lead the procession this year. Please give your nomina- tions to any member of the organising committee as soon as you can and we’ll let everybody know around Easter time. Just as a reminder the 2016 organising committee is; Cherie Ames-Tull; Kelley Scripps (Deputy Chair); Jason Gediking; Peter Woods, Joe Doherty; Mark Bloomfield, Russell Couch and myself, Chris Flint (Chair) – my contact details are [email protected] – 07932 055292 – 474573. Finally and sadly the committee would like to mark the passing of a recent and long term member of the organising committee and on the committee’s behalf, Joe Doherty has written a eulogy for Roy Mollison. It was with deep sadness that the Gosfield Village Fete Committee heard of the passing of Roy Mollison on 21st November 2015. Roy and Barbara had been members of the Fete Committee since 2002; Roy took on the Chairman role between 2003 and 2005 and was Treasurer from 2005 until October 2014, when he and Barbara stepped down from the Committee. Over those 12 years of service to the Village, Roy and Barbara were stalwart and dedicated members of the Fete Committee; their significant efforts contributed magnificently to the successes of the Gosfield Village Fete. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Barbara and family; Roy was such a huge presence and will be sorely missed by everyone. The 2016 Fete Committee 4 THE QUEEN'S 90TH BIRTHDAY BEACONS - 21ST APRIL 2016. There is a long and unbroken tradition in our country of celebrating Royal jubilees, weddings, coronations and special birthdays with the lighting of beacons - on top of mountains, churches and castle battlements, on town and village greens, farms, country parks and estates, and along the beaches surrounding our shores. The last major beacon celebration was on Her Majesty The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee on 4th June 2012, There will be a further opportunity to celebrate on Thursday 21st April 2016, when beacons will be lit throughout the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, Isle of Man and UK Overseas Territories in celebration of Her Majesty The Queen’s 90th Birthday that day. To date, 255 local communities, including town and parish councils, local authorities, youth groups and organisations such as the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution, the Crown Estate, Windsor, Historic Houses Association, English Heritage, National Trust, Country Land and Business Association, Trinity House, the Royal Air Force, National Association of Local Councils, Local Government Association, Once Voice Wales, National Association of Civic Officers and the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities have agreed to take part. We hope that you too will wish to join us in lighting our beacon, on the playing field Church Road. Joining us in uniting the nation in common celebration of this important milestone in The Queen’s life. The beacon lighting time will be confirmed at a later date. We are planning around lighting it in the early evening. The Beacon Project, by agreement with The Royal Household, will form an important part of The Queen’s 90th birthday celebrations, and Her Majesty The Queen has graciously agreed to light the Principle Beacon on 21st April 2016.

  • 13 March 2020 Dear Parent I Am Writing to Update You on Our Coronavirus Response and Continued Planning Following the Government’S COBRA Meeting Yesterday
    Gosfield Hall Park, Gosfield Halstead, Essex CO9 1SE t: 01787 472134 e:[email protected] w: stmargaretsprep.com Headmaster: Mr Callum Douglas 13 March 2020 Dear Parent I am writing to update you on our coronavirus response and continued planning following the government’s COBRA meeting yesterday. Many parents have been in touch in recent days to ask about a potential school closure – we are keen to maintain frequent and open communication with you in these unprecedented times. While the UK has moved into the ‘Delay’ phase of its Coronavirus Action Plan, the official government advice for schools remains unchanged. As you know, we are following all Public Health England (PHE), Department for Education and NHS guidance. In addition, we have already introduced some additional measures such as asking parents to temperature check pupils before attending school, self-reporting of families’ travel plans, an increased level of cleaning and an emphasis on hand washing and hygiene in school. We will continue with this approach while preparing for the possibility that school closures may be introduced at any time. We are committed to maintaining a normal teaching and learning environment for our pupils, whilst carefully monitoring the fast-moving situation with our Cognita Response Team. We are also drawing upon the experience of further Cognita schools, namely in Spain, that are now successfully delivering remote learning programmes amid mandatory closures. Yesterday’s announcement by the government advised against all international school trips. Although we do not have any planned at St Margaret’s we will keep you updated with any postponement or cancellation of domestic trips.

  • English Heritage Registered Grade Ii Braintree District Council Gosfield Hall Gosfield Gd1255 Tl773
    ENGLISH HERITAGE REGISTERED GRADE II BRAINTREE DISTRICT COUNCIL GOSFIELD HALL GOSFIELD GD1255 TL773 296 The remains of a mid C19 garden set within an extensive C18 park. HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT Gosfield Hall was originally built in the 1540s by Sir John Wentworth as a quadrangular house ranged around a courtyard. Three of the fronts were subsequently remodelled. The east front was altered by Sir Thomas Millington sometime after 1691; he was probably also responsible for remodelling the south front, although further modifications were made to it in the C18. John Knight, who acquired the estate in 1715, rebuilt the north front in a Palladian style. Following his death, his widow married Robert Nugent, first Earl Nugent, in 1736 and he carried out further work on the house, included heightening the centre of the south range and adding a ‘Tudor-style’ corridor. Robert Nugent also carried out work on the landscape and created a mile-long lake as a key element in his new design for the park. The estate passed by inheritance to the Marquis of Buckingham in 1788, and in 1807 Gosfield became for a while the home of the exiled Louis XVIII of France during which time the west front was reworked. In 1825 the estate was sold to E G Barnard who almost immediately became insolvent, allowing the Hall and its landscape to fall into disrepair. When Barnard died in 1851 the estate was purchased by Samuel Courtauld who spent the ten years prior to his death renovating the Hall, laying out a formal geometric garden around it, and generally improving the park and estate.

  • Gosfield Grapevine Magazine and the Village Shop
    Gosfield Grapevine Photo Tony PhotoSaleTony Issue 70—December 2016 Gosfield Parish Council 2 St Catherine’s Church On the 24th November a service was held at St Catherine’s to license Rev Rose Braisby in the Halstead Team Ministry. It was a also a service of celebration and the church was full of parishioners, visitors and friends from afar, followed by a buffet and a glass of wine and an opportunity for a bit of socialising. I was prompted to write a note for The Grapevine by some of the comments made by the Bishop of Colchester in his address, and I am going to try and summarise briefly what were the key points – for me, at least. No..please don’t stop reading, I don’t intend to beat you over the head with a bit of bible bashing! We are going through great change in society, and this affects everything, Church of England included. Numbers of churchgoers is falling, the power, wealth and influence of the C of E is only a fraction of what it used to be and the ‘old model’ of a church where, basically, the vicar took care of everything and the congregation just had to attend, has gone. What has replaced it – or at least is in the process of taking hold, is a model where a team of people – ordained and lay alike - take responsibility for a number of parishes, working with the congregations, to create, maintain and nurture their communities. You may begin to see why I was moved to write when you saw the word communities! Amongst my friends, relatives, neighbours and family there is pretty much the whole range of opinion towards the church – from downright hostility, total indifference, lukewarm support to fervent devotion.

  • USAAF AIRFIELDS Guide and Map Introduction
    USAAF AIRFIELDS Guide and Map Introduction During the Second World War, the East of England became home to hundreds of US airmen. They began arriving in 1942, with many existing RAF (Royal Air Force) airfields made available to the USAAF (United States Army Air Force). By 1943 there were over 100,000 US airmen based in Britain. The largest concentration was in the East of England, where most of the 8th Air Force and some of the 9th were located on near a hundred bases. The 8th Air Force was the largest air striking force ever committed to battle, with the first units arriving in May 1942. The 9th Air Force was re-formed in England in October 1943 - it was the operator of the most formidable troop-carrying force ever assembled. Their arrival had an immediate impact on the East Anglian scene. This was the 'friendly invasion' - a time of jitterbugging dances and big band sounds, while the British got their first taste of peanut butter, chewing gum and Coke. Famous US bandleader Glenn Miller was based in the Bedford area (Bedfordshire), along with his orchestra during the Second World War. Close associations with residents of the region produced long lasting friendships, sometimes even marriage. At The Eagle pub in Cambridge (Cambridgeshire), and The Swan Hotel at Lavenham (Suffolk), airmen left their signatures on the ceiling/walls. The aircraft of the USAAF were the B-17 Flying Fortress and B-24 Liberator - used by the Bombardment Groups (BG); and the P-51 Mustang, P-38 Lightning and P-47 Thunderbolt - used by the Fighter Groups (FG).
