Creativity Challenge Quiz Answers
2020 Creativity Challenge Quiz Answers We hope you have been enjoying the activities in the Creativity Challenge over the past weeks. Have you had a chance to have a go at the quiz too? This can help you find out more about the amazing history of the district, and about some of our great partners in Epping Forest Creative Network. Now it is time to find out if you got the right answers … 1. Which Anglo Saxon King is thought to be buried at the Abbey Church, Waltham Abbey? A. King Harold II. While the Abbey of Waltham was certainly a very important place for Harold, we can’t be 100% sure he is buried there. There are other places that lay claim to be his final resting place. Some think there wouldn’t have been much of him left to bury after the Battle of Hastings. Either way, it is still very important to commemorate Harold’s connection to Waltham Abbey. 2. Which popular festival takes place at St John’s Church, Epping each Christmas? A. It is of course the Christmas Tree Festival. Lots of community groups and local business decorate trees each year as part of the town’s Christmas festivities. St John’s Church as well as many other churches across the district welcome all sorts of different community events and activities. Our churches are very special places to visit, with wonderful stories to explore too. 3. Near which town in the district can you find the oldest wooden church in the world? A. Churches don’t get much more special that St Andrew’s juxta Ongar in Greensted – a long name for a wonderful small church, and one that is a real treasure of the district. -

The Deer of lapping Forest ' 241 THE DEER OF EPPING FOREST By ANTHONY BUXTON My home was on the edge of Epping Forest and my father, the late Edward North Buxton, was a very active verderer of that forest for practically the whole of his life. He was more- over in the forefront of the fight to save the forest as an open space for the public. From very early days I was constantly in the forest and at once began to take an interest in its deer. In Saxon times and for centuries later a large proportion of Essex was covered by woods, heather and grassy commons. Even at the end of the sixteenth century Camden wrote " Near the Sey (sea) spreads out a chase of vast extent, full of game, the largest and fattest deer in the Kingdom ". In the reign of King John the grievances of the forest laws became so intolerable that he was compelled to limit the royal forest to what was known as the Forest of Waltham, stretching from the River Lea on the west to the Romford sound on the east, and these boundaries were confirmed by Edward I. King Charles I attempted to enlarge these boundaries but the sturdy people of Essex rebelled and held a " conventicle in the very brake where the King's stag should have been lodged for his hunting the next morning ". As a result the Long Parliament passed an Act fixing the forest boundaries to comprise 60,000 acres. Up to the time of Henry VIII nearly the whole of the ownership of the forest soil was vested in the religious bodies of the day, subject to the sporting rights of the Crown. -
