How to get to Great Bardfield To Finchingfield To Thaxted P To Gt. Dunmow To Braintree From Braintree take the A120 towards Dunmow and take the Stebbing & Felsted turn off. Take the last exit at the roundabout at the top of the slip road and then left onto the B1256 . Take the first right to Bardfield at the Palm Trees Restaurant (you can’t miss it, trust me). Follow this road (Braintree Road) through Great Saling until you get to Great Bardfield. For parking at the Bardfield Centre, take the first left turn once in the village (immediately before the traffic calming chicane). Follow the road around to the right where parking is marshalled by the Youth Club. From Great Dunmow from the Thaxted road, turn at the big clock house down Lime Tree Hill and go past the Angel and Harp and St Mary’s Church then keep going on the B1057 into Great Bardfield. For parking at the Bardfield Centre, continue through the village turning right immediately before the war memorial (into Brook Street). Go past the green and primary school (on your left) and continue up the hill. Turn right directly after you have passed through the traffic calming chicane. Follow the road around to the right where parking is marshalled by the Youth Club. From Thaxted take “The Bardfields” road (going past the primary school) and keep driving out of the village. Continue on through Little Bardfield and at the end of the road is Great Bardfield. For parking at the Bardfield Centre, turn left into the High Street (B1057). Turn right immediately before the war memorial (into Brook Street). Go past the green and primary school (on your left) and continue up the hill. Turn right directly after you have passed through the traffic calming chicane. Follow the road around to the right where parking is marshalled by the Youth Club. From Finchingfield take the B1057 towards Great Bardfield (as you leave Finchingfield you will pass the garage on your left). Continue on until you enter Great Bardfield via Bridge Street. Please be patient when you reach the bridge in Bardfield; it is only wide enough for a single lane of traffic and priority is given to cars leaving Bardfield. For parking at the Bardfield Centre, continue along Bridge Street until you reach a T-junction. Turn left into Brook Street and go past the green and primary school (on your left). Continue up the hill. Turn right directly after you have passed through the traffic calming chicane. Follow the road around to the right where parking is marshalled by the Youth Club. .

THE FRY ART GALLERY TOO When Bardfield Came to Walden Artists in Saffron Walden from the 1960S to the 1980S 2 December 2017 to 25 March 2018
THE FRY ART GALLERY TOO When Bardfield Came to Walden Artists in Saffron Walden from the 1960s to the 1980s 2 December 2017 to 25 March 2018 Welcome to our new display space - The Fry Art Gallery Too - which opens for the first time while our main gallery at 19a Castle Street undergoes its annual winter closure for maintenance and work on the Collection. The north west Essex village of Great Bardfield and its surrounding area became the home for a wide range of artists from the early 1930s until the 1980s. More than 3000 examples of their work are brought together in the North West Essex Collection, selections of which are displayed in exhibitions at The Fry Art Gallery. Our first display in our new supplementary space focuses on those artists who lived at various times in and around Saffron Walden in the later twentieth century. Edward and Charlotte Bawden were the first artists to arrive in Great Bardfield around 1930, along with Eric and Tirzah Ravilious. After 30 years at Brick House, Charlotte arranged in 1970 that she and Edward would move to Park Lane, Saffron Walden for their later years. Sadly, Charlotte died before the move, but Edward was welcomed into an established community of successful professional artists in and around the town. These included artists Paul Beck and John Bolam, and the stage designers Olga Lehmann and David Myerscough- Jones. Sheila Robinson had already moved to the town from Great Bardfield in 1968, with her daughter Chloë Cheese, while the writer and artist Olive Cook had been established here with her photographer and artist husband Edwin Smith for many years.

Great Bardfield
The Hundred Parishes An introduction to GREAT BARDFIELD Location: 7 miles northeast of Great Dunmow. Ordnance Survey grid square: TL6730. Postcode: CM7 4SD. Access: B1057. Buses 9/10 to Braintree (Mon-Fri), 16 to Chelmsford (Mon-Sat), 17 to Saffron Walden (Tuesday and Friday only). County: Essex. District: Braintree. Population: 1,227 in 2011. The parish of Great Bardfield lies on the southern aspect of the River Pant, just a few miles upstream from Braintree where it becomes the River Blackwater. Great Bardfield is a place of considerable historic, architectural and cultural interest. Many have considered it the quintessential English village, not least the group known as the Bardfield Artists, many of whom chose to settle here in the period 1930s to1950s. Perhaps the best known of these artists, Edward Bawden, dedicated a series of 16 lithographs, ‘Life in an English Village’, to the shops and workplaces of local tradesmen and women, and in doing so has preserved a record of a now vanished way of village life. The war artist Eric Ravilious (whose wood engraving of Great Bardfield Church appears at the top of this page) spent some years here, as did the ‘Colonel Blimp’ cartoonist David Low who lived in Serjeant Bendlowe’s Cottage (seen here) and Marianne Straub, some of whose textiles are retained in the Warner Textile Archive in Braintree. There were numerous others, and a series of ‘open house’ exhibitions during the 1950s served to put Great Bardfield on the national cultural map. Much of the work of the Bardfield Artists can be viewed today at the Fry Art Gallery in Saffron Walden.

CONGRATULATIONS to the WINNER of ESSEX VILLAGE of the YEAR 2019 Peldon Has Been Crowned Essex Village of the Year 2019
Issue 77 July 2019 Follow us on Twitter @EssexRP CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNER OF ESSEX VILLAGE OF THE YEAR 2019 Peldon has been crowned Essex Village of the Year 2019. At a packed Rural Community Council of Essex AGM on Wednesday 10th July, Peldon, a village in the borough of Colchester, was announced as outright winner of the Essex Village of the Year competition for 2019, with representatives from Peldon being presented with a cheque for £500 and the Essex & Suffolk Water shield. Alresford and Great Bardfield were placed joint second and received £200, with Great Tey in fourth place, receiving £100. This year the competition, organised by RCCE and sponsored by Essex & Suffolk Water and Inkpen Downie Architecture & Design Ltd, was open to villages in Essex with a population of up to 6,000 and, as usual, competition was fierce, with 28 villages vying for the title. The focus of the competition is on the work of communities and the efforts of local people to strengthen and sustain community life. When entering, villages were required to answer the question: ‘What makes your village special?’ All shortlisted villages were visited by volunteer judges who met with community representatives and assessed them according to the five judging categories: Community facilities and activities; Businesses and services; Environment and sustainability; Community information and New initiatives and future plans. Peldon has a population of 459 and the judges were particularly impressed with the enormous amount of community activities and initiatives. The new village hall provides excellent facilities for a wide range of activities, clubs and groups, including the annual village pantomime.

Fry Too Leaflet
Winter opening in our new location When Bardfield Came to Walden An exhibition of works by artists who lived in and around Saffron Walden in the 1960s to 1980s 2nd December 2017 to 25th March 2018 Saturdays 11am-5pm, Sundays 2.15-5pm 9b Museum Street Saffron Walden CB10 1BN 01799 520679 www.fryartgallery.org THE FRY ART GALLERY The Fry Art Gallery in Saffron Walden is home to The North West Essex Collection of work by artists who have lived in the area. Edward Bawden, Eric Ravilious and John Aldridge were the first artists to settle in the Essex village of Great Bardfield in the early 1930s. Others soon followed, and their diverse output contributed strongly to British visual culture and artis- tic practice over many decades. The influence of this area continues to this day through the work of prominent contem- porary artists. The main Gallery, in Castle Street, Saffron Walden, is open from April to October. WHEN BARDFIELD CAME TO WALDEN Artists in Saffron Walden 1960s to 1980s In 1970 Charlotte Bawden arranged that she and Edward would move from Great Bardfield to Park Lane, Saffron Walden, where life would be more convenient. Sadly, she died before this was achieved, but Edward found a welcome in an established community of successful artists. Paul Beck, John Bolam, Olga Lehmann and David Myerscough-Jones all had established reputations, and Sheila Robinson had moved there from Great Bardfield in 1968. Olive Cook and Edwin Smith, well-known for their books on the English countryside, and the long-running Saturday Books, had long been established in the town.
