  • The Evolution of Puritan Mentality in an Essex Cloth Town: Dedham and the Stour Valley, 1560-1640
    The Evolution of Puritan Mentality in an Essex Cloth Town: Dedham and the Stour Valley, 1560-1640 A.R. Pennie Submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Research conducted in the Department of History. Submitted: November, 1989. bs. 1 The Evolution of Puritan Mentality in an Essex Cloth Town: Dedham and the Stour Valley, 1560-1640 A.R. Pennie Summary of thesis The subject of this thesis is the impact of religious reformation on the inhabitants of a small urban centre, with some reference to the experience of nearby settle- ments. Dedham has a place in national history as a centre of the Elizabethan Puritan Movement but the records of the Dedham Conference (the local manifestation of that movement), also illustrate the development of Reformed religion in Dedham and associated parishes. The contents of the thesis may be divided into four sections. The first of these concerns the material life of the inhabitants of Dedham and the way in which this generated both the potential for social cohesion and the possibility of social conflict. The second section examines the attempt at parish reformation sponsored by the ministers associated with the Dedham Conference and the militant and exclusive doctrine of the Christian life elaborated by the succeeding generation of preachers. The third element of the thesis focuses on the way in which the inhabitants articulated the expression of a Reformed or Puritan piety and, on occasion, the rejection of features of that piety. The ways in which the townspeople promoted the education of their children, the relief of the poor and the acknowledgement of ties of kinship and friendship, have been examined in terms of their relationship to a collective mentality characterized by a strong commitment to 'godly' religion.

In order to do this many properties had to be demolished to make way for the new road, which included the terrace of thirteen shops on the east side of Maldon Road (left) abutting Crouch Street. These small late Victorian shops (and some of earlier age) occupied by private owners, gave a personal service to customers, almost everything from a fishmonger to a butcher - all before the days of the supermarket. For those folk over a certain age, see if you can remember some of these shopkeepers from just after World War One through to the days of closure in the late 1960s. The first shop, No 2 Maldon Road, was occupied for some forty years by Ernie Sheppard, a fishmonger. He was a tall upright gentleman who wore a striped apron, had a hard straw hat and wore a pince-nez. Ernie was a friendly man always ready to chat to his customers. The fish for sale was laid out in regimental fashion on a marble slab and he would look at them affectionately as if he was reluctant to part with them.

  • 5 Lexden Park House Lexden Road | Colchester | CO3 3UF
    5 Lexden Park House Lexden Road | Colchester | CO3 3UF INSIGHT A prestigious, three double bedroom duplex penthouse apartment with a private roof terrace overlooking Lexden Park, set within an outstanding historic white brick Italianate house. The residence is architecturally grand with a luxurious, high specification interior design and residing amongst the elite within an opulent setting amidst the communal grounds and lake of Lexden Park, Colchester. The residence was originally built in the 1800's as a private house with spectacular grounds including a large ornamental lake. After being extended, Lexden Park House was converted into a school before becoming part of Colchester's Technical College. Eventually it was converted into five large apartments including number 5, which occupies the top floor and has been upgraded and reconfigured over recent times to allow for the generous proportions you see today. During the owner's occupancy the property has been extensively transformed to combine an exceptional standard of living whilst taking full advantage of the views beyond. At the front of Lexden Park House there is a pillared entrance with two sets of double doors leading through the communal entrance hall. Stairs ascend to all levels and the apartment is positioned securely on the top floor, providing a separate private access to the roof terrace, which is exclusive to this apartment. Upon entering the personal entrance hall, you are greeted by an enticing reception, which captivates the elegance of the property and reflected throughout this handsome home. The accommodation flows seamlessly through to a generous lounge, which offers inklings to the rich Victorian past having sash windows, deep skirting boards, high ceilings, and an ornate feature fireplace, yet having been sympathetically enhanced to an extremely high specification by the current owners.
