Gosfield Grapevine Gosfield Grapevine Issue 76—December 2017 Gosfield Parish Council 2 New houses for Gosfield I am writing this having just returned from a Planning Committee Meeting at Braintree District Council where I spoke on behalf of the Parish Council against two proposed developments in Gosfield. I did not believe I would be successful because the District Council had recommended approval and that usually means they go through. As it turned out our fears were realised and the plans were approved The two plans are for 19 houses on the plot to the South of the Limes, and for 35 houses to the North of Meadway, 54 in total. The Meadway plans were with access via Meadway rather than Hedingham Road. To be fair to the District Council, they never envisaged much expansion in the villages and concentrated their plans for development in the 3 towns of Witham, Braintree and Halstead, but they have not got the numbers required by the Govern- ment so have had to turn to villages like Gosfield, but it will affect us not least with the pressure on the road system and other services. And this may not be the end. Developers, sensing blood, are putting in more applications some of which the District Council may have to accept. In all this, the Parish Council representing the village has little say and we are at the mercy of outside forces beyond our control. All we can do try to extract concessions which will mitigate the impact of what is being decided. For example, I proposed that the plans for The Limes site would include some off-road parking to reduce the parking problem in the Limes road. Also, I proposed that construction traffic not be allowed along Hall Drive and Meadway during school rush hours and this principle was accepted. It will be bad enough at normal times with traffic from what will be in effect a 100+ housing estate feeding into Hall drive in competition with traffic from Gosfield Hall, the Golf Club and both St Margaret’s School and the County Primary School, but it would be unimaginable if there is construction traffic at the same time. One ray of light in the gloom is that the developers have offered the other half of the field on the Meadway site to the village as a public amenity space and the Parish Council have accepted the offer, so hopefully, the site cannot be expanded in the future and we will have acquired a valuable piece of amenity land for the village. Bob Waters (Chairman of the Parish Council) 3 Plan No. *17/01066/OUT (APPROVED) Location Gosfield Applicant(s) Baylight Ltd Proposed Development Outline application with all matters reserved except for access for the erection of up to 35 dwellings - Access via Meadway, land to the West of Hedingham Road.

Details of this planning application are contained in the Regis- ter of Planning Applications. The Committee approved this application subject to the additional, proposed site plan Plan Ref: 255-PL-10_B being added to the list of Approved Plans. Councillor Bob Waters, representing Gosfield Parish Council, attended the meeting and spoke against this application. Please see on page five a map of the proposed development area. Land top of Meadway This map was presented to BDC planning committee and used as part of the decision making process You will note the complete development area is inside land to be given to the parish council. This guarantees this site cannot enlarge without the consent of the parish council, [the will of the village] The parish council will eventually have the cost of the upkeep of this land and hedges especially the responsibility to keep the hedge in Hedingham Road cut back, to keep the pavement clear.

Braintree District Council Planning committee 5th December 2017 APPLICATION NO: 17/01607/FUL Proposed development of 40 no. new residential dwellings LOCATION: Former Oil Depot, Land West Of, Hedingham Road, Gosfield, Essex, CO9 1PN Application REFUSED for the following reasons:- 1 The site is located in the countryside and falls outside of the defined village envelope as identified in the adopted Local Plan Review and adopted Core Strategy. The proposal introduces 40no. dwellings in the countryside where development is resisted unless it is sustainable and is located where it will enhance or maintain the vitality of rural communities. Facilities and amenities are beyond reasonable and safe walking distance of the site and development in this location would undoubtedly place reliance upon travel by car. 6 GOSFIELD PARISH COUNCIL GOSFIELD PARISH COUNCIL MEETING DATES 2017 –2018 18th December 2017—Pavilion—7.15pm 15th January 2018— Pavilion—7.15pm 19th February 2018—Pavilion—7.15pm The Parish Council would like to add their voice to the big thank you to Ian Thurston and the speedwatch team for organizing the smiley Sid sign in Hedingham Road.

  • 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.

  • The History of Women in Jazz in Britain
    The history of jazz in Britain has been scrutinised in notable publications including Parsonage (2005) The Evolution of Jazz in Britain, 1880-1935 , McKay (2005) Circular Breathing: The Cultural Politics of Jazz in Britain , Simons (2006) Black British Swing and Moore (forthcoming 2007) Inside British Jazz . This body of literature provides a useful basis for specific consideration of the role of women in British jazz. This area is almost completely unresearched but notable exceptions to this trend include Jen Wilson’s work (in her dissertation entitled Syncopated Ladies: British Jazzwomen 1880-1995 and their Influence on Popular Culture ) and George McKay’s chapter ‘From “Male Music” to Feminist Improvising’ in Circular Breathing . Therefore, this chapter will provide a necessarily selective overview of British women in jazz, and offer some limited exploration of the critical issues raised. It is hoped that this will provide a stimulus for more detailed research in the future. Any consideration of this topic must necessarily foreground Ivy Benson 1, who played a fundamental role in encouraging and inspiring female jazz musicians in Britain through her various ‘all-girl’ bands. Benson was born in Yorkshire in 1913 and learned the piano from the age of five. She was something of a child prodigy, performing on Children’s Hour for the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) at the age of nine. She also appeared under the name of ‘Baby Benson’ at Working Men’s Clubs (private social clubs founded in the nineteenth century in industrial areas of Great Britain, particularly in the North, with the aim of providing recreation and education for working class men and their families).

Bolig The advent of this online discography is a continuation of record descriptions that were compiled by me and published in book form by Allan Sutton, the publisher and owner of Mainspring Press. When undertaking our work, Allan and I were aware of the work started by Ted Fa- gan and Bill Moran, in which they intended to account for every recording made by the Victor Talking Machine Company. We decided to take on what we believed was a more practical approach, one that best met the needs of record collectors. Simply stat- ed, Fagan and Moran were describing recordings that were not necessarily published; I believed record collectors were interested in records that were actually available. We decided to account for records found in Victor catalogs, ones that were purchased and found in homes after 1901 as 78rpm discs, many of which have become highly sought- after collector’s items.

  • Ted Heath (Bandleader) from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Ted Heath (bandleader) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Background information Birth name George Edward Heath Also known as Ted Born 30 March 1902 Wandsworth, South London, England Died 18 November 1969 (aged 67) Virginia Water, Surrey, England Genres Big Band, jazz Occupation(s) Bandleader, composer Instruments Trombone Years active 1916–1969 Labels Decca, London George Edward "Ted" Heath (30 March 1902 – 18 November 1969) was a British musician and big band leader. He led Britain's greatest post-war big band recording more than 100 albums which sold over 20 million copies. Considered the most successful band in Britain during the 1950s, it remained in existence as a ghost band long after Heath died, surviving in such a form until 2000. Musical beginnings After playing tenor horn at the age of six, encouraged by his father, the leader of the Wandsworth Town Brass Band, Heath later switched to trombone. Earning a living for his family in the post-war years he, and his brother Harold with three other musicians, formed a band that played to commuters outside London Bridge Station before winding their way along the streets in London to a location outside the Queen’s Hall Gardens venue. It was here that Heath’s professional career began as he was spotted on the street and asked to play with the Jack Hylton Band who had a residence there. He did not last long, not having the experience required, but it gave him the ambition to pursue a career as a professional musician. 1920s His first real band gig was with an American band on tour in Europe – the Southern Syncopation Orchestra – which had an engagement in Vienna, Austria and needed a trombone player.

  • 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.

TIIE Proprietors, in submitting to their Subscribers and the Public the present (being the Fifth) Edition of the Six HOME COUNTIES DIRECTORY, trust that it may • be found to be equal in accuracy to the previous Editions. Several additions have been made to the present volume : lists of Hundreds and Poor Law Unions have been included in the Topography of each County; it is stated under each Parish in what Hundred, Union and County Court District it is situate, as well as the Diocese, Archdeaconry and Rural Deanery; and the College and University of every Beneficed Clergyman have been given. The Post Office Savings Banks have been noticed; the names of the Parish Clerks are given under each Parish ; and lists of Farm Bailiffs of gentlemen farming their own land have been added. / The bulk of the Directory has again increased considerably: the Third Edition consisted of 1,420 pages; the Fourth had increased to 1,752 pages; and the present contains 1,986 pages. The value of the Directory, however, will depend principally on the fact that it has been most carefully corrected, every parish having been personally visited by the Agents during the last six months.
