It was good to see so many people again. At Downham we had to bend the numbers a little to ensure that everyone who wished to come could find a place, whilst remaining Covid compliant. We hope that we can now return to our normal service pattern, with the exception of the Family Service at Downham, which unfortunately cannot be accommodated in a Covid safe way. Please be aware that there may be last minute changes so do please make allowances if you arrive and find that the service is not as you had expected. Do check our websites and Facebook pages for last minute changes, or call one of the churchwardens whose details you will find on the inside front cover. From the Ministry Team Hello everybody and welcome to spring! This is my first letter to you as the new Associate Minister to our Benefice of St Margaret’s, St Mary’s and St Peter’s. Thank you for the warm welcome that you have given to me, which I know is a bit difficult in these restricted days of Covid. But times are changing, and restrictions are slowly beginning to lift and who knows in a few weeks we may be able to meet more freely with each other. There’s always hope. Of course, for the church Easter is a season that reminds us that even death, however dreadful, can be overcome. But and there is always a ‘but’ in life, we first have to be courageous enough to accept what ‘hope’ is offering. New beginnings are always uncomfortable as by their nature they take us out of our comfort zone and put us somewhere unfamiliar. And if you are anything like me then the way you cope with the new is to try and take with you something of the old, of the familiar, into the new. Perfectly understandable really, but not very helpful when you need to leave the old behind. For me, as I begin a new ministry among you, I have to learn what is good to bring with me from the past and what is better left behind as I get to know the parish/s. It’s no good going somewhere new if all you do is transplant in total where you have come from, I might as well have stayed where I was if I am to live in that fashion: I suppose that is part of the message of a risen Christ. How can seeing Jesus risen from the dead mean that you can carry on in the same old way as before? A risen Jesus means a new way of interpreting the world, if it doesn’t then we will have denied what we have seen and experienced. The early disciples had to grapple with a new truth and with that truth came a reorientation of life’s priorities. For those of us who grapple with this God who can raise his son from the dead we to need to ask ourselves in 2 the light of this new birth how will we begin to see the world differently; and perhaps spring is not a bad time of the year to reflect on such things. Out with the old and in with the new. God Bless Revd Barry Hobson May Day: unbridled merriment Having begun the return to normal after more than a year of lockdown, perhaps May is the month that will start to bring us some happiness. May is the month when the ancient pagans used to get up to ‘all sorts’! The Romans held their festival to honour the mother-goddess Maia, goddess of nature and growth. (May is named after her) The early Celts celebrated the feast of Beltane, in honour of the sun god, Beli. For centuries in ‘Olde England’ the people went mad in May. After the hardship of winter, and hunger of early Spring, May was a time of indulgence. One Philip Stubbes, writing in 1583, was scandalised: ‘for what kissing and bussing, what smooching and slabbering one of another, is not practised?’ Henry VIII went ‘maying’ on many occasions. Then folk would stay out all night in the dark rain-warm thickets and return in the morning for dancing on the green around the May pole, archery, vaulting, wrestling, and evening bonfires. The Protestant reformers took a strong stand against May Day, and in 1644 May Day was abolished altogether. Many May poles came down - only to go up again at the Restoration, when the first May Day of King Charles’s reign was ‘the happiest Mayday that hath been many a year in England’, according to Pepys. May Day to most people today brings vague folk memories of a young Queen of the May decorated with garlands and streamers and flowers, a May Pole to weave, Morris dancing, and the intricacies of well dressing at Tissington in Derbyshire. May Day is a medley of natural themes such as sunrise, the advent of summer, growth in nature, and - since 1833 - Robert Owen’s vision of a millennium in the future, beginning on May Day, when there would be no more poverty, injustice or cruelty, but harmony and friendship. This is why, in modern times, May Day has become Labour Day, which honours the dignity of workers. And until recently, in communist countries May Day processions were in honour of the achievement of Marxism. There has never been a Christian content to May Day, but nevertheless there 3 is the well-known 6.00am service on the top of Magdalen Tower at Oxford where a choir sings in the dawn of May Day. An old May carol includes the lines: The life of man is but a span, it flourishes like a flower We are here today and gone tomorrow - we are dead within an hour. There is something of a sadness about it, both in words and tune, as there is about all purely sensuous joy. For May Day is not Easter, and the joys it represents have always been earth-bound and fleeting. From the registers Downham Funeral in church followed by burial in churchyard 7 April Henry George Simpson Funeral in church followed by cremation 12 April Dorothy May Killworth News from St Margaret’s Downham Resumption of services It was good to welcome so many people at our Easter day service. In order to comply with social distancing we have been restricting the number of worshippers to around 30 people, dependent upon the mix of families and single people, but with careful management we managed 40 for Easter day. We were unable to worship in church last Easter, but looking back to 2019 we recorded a total of 140 people at our two Easter services. Perhaps next year Covid-19 will have been banished and we will be back to our normal numbers.

  • APPENDIX 5 Discounted SLAA Sites List
    APPENDIX 5 Discounted SLAA Sites List TECHNICAL NOTE Job Name: Chelmsford SLAA Job No: 35446 Note No: 2 Date: 19 August 2015 Prepared By: Daniel Wheelwright Subject: List of Discounted Sites from the SLAA Assessment The list below sets out those sites which are subject to the ‘absolute constraints’ (as listed in the SLAA Criteria note) in their entirety. Where sites are only partially affected by the absolute constraint(s), the site is still taken forward into the SLAA database on the basis of the resultant unaffected area. It should be noted that for Green Belt and ‘Green Wedge’ sites, two versions of the SLAA assessment were undertaken (see SLAA Database Methodology and Output Note). The first is a ‘policy-on’ approach of treating Green Belt and Green Wedge sites as an absolute constraint to development. The list below reflects this approach. The second ‘policy-off’ approach does not discount Green Belt and Green Wedge sites and includes them within the assessment. It should be noted however that Sites CFS10, CFS32 CFS253 remain ‘absolute constraints’ under both approaches – given they are site specific reasons for their discounting - and therefore do not feature in the SLAA database.

Essex County Council, 2011. 1 2 Contents.

Maps © and database Crown copyright & Landmark Information Group All rights reserved. May 2011. 3 4 SUMMARY. This Report presents the results of the field survey of the operating railway line between Shenfield and Southminster. A companion Report is published for the two now-discontinued railway branches from Witham to Maldon, and from Woodham Ferrers to Maldon. Fieldwork was carried out between April and August 2007. The purpose of the Survey was to detail what survives of the structures of these lines and their accompanying works including buildings, bridges, embankments, cuttings and subsiduary constructions, to review the statutory designations and to suggest possible further usage for the lines. INTRODUCTION. Much of the track line and adjacent land of the two discontinued lines is in private or corporate ownership and is publicly accessible only where it is crossed by public roads and paths. Small parts have been developed by Local Councils as “Trails” as a public amenity. There are two Nature Reserves. Where building development has been permitted on the former track, some recognition of the former alignment is still recognisable by the line of streets, footpaths and land/property boundaries.
