Today, the parish covers a large area, one of the biggest in the Hundred Parishes, incorporating the villages of Standon and Puckeridge and also the hamlets of Barwick, Colliers End, Latchford and Wellpond Green. Standon, Latchford and Barwick grew up beside the River Rib, which meanders from north to south through the middle of the parish. Puckeridge and Colliers End developed alongside Ermine Street, the old Roman road from London to Lincoln and York that later became a busy coaching route, especially serving London and Cambridge. A second Roman highway, Stane Street, ran between Colchester and St Albans, crossing Ermine Street at a Roman town whose location was close to the present northern parish boundary with Braughing, a boundary that is today largely defined by the old route of Stane Street. Wellpond Green is a relatively new residential hamlet. Much of Stane Street has become today’s A120, with a diversion that now runs to the south of Puckeridge. -

East Herts District Plan
East Herts District Plan Strategic March 2017 Land Availability Assessment 1.0 Introduction 1.1 National planning policy requires all Local Planning Authorities to produce a technical study known as the Strategic Land Availability Assessment (SLAA) in order to identify sites with potential for future development. The SLAA has informed work on the District Plan and Neighbourhood Planning. It has also assisted with the identification of future land supply. 1.2 The SLAA is a ‘live’ document in that it should be updated on a regular basis in order to reflect changing circumstances. Therefore, this version of the SLAA presents the most up to date position as at March 2017. 2.0 Methodology 2.1 Paragraphs 019 to 021 of the PPG identify that, when undertaking a SLAA, sites should be considered against three criteria, namely; suitability, availability and achievability. These terms are explained below. Suitability The assessment of suitability takes into account a range of policy constraints. These include environmental and heritage designations, impact on landscape and character, flooding and Green Belt / Rural Area Beyond the Green Belt. Availability A site is considered to be available if there are no legal or ownership issues which would prevent the site coming forward for development. Achievability Achievability is effectively a judgement about the economic viability of a site, and the capacity of the developer to complete the development over a certain period of time. 2.2 Having assessed each site against the three criteria, a conclusion can be reached. If a site is considered to be suitable, available and achievable, then it is regarded as being ‘deliverable’. -

Hertfordshire Archives and Local Studies
GB 0046 D/ECb Hertfordshire Archives and Local Studies This catalogue was digitised by The National Archives as part of the National Register of Archives digitisation project NRA 13977 The National Archives HERTFORDSHIRE RECORD OFFICE D/ECb Deeds of the Koddesdon Brewery and a number of licensed houses owned or leased by the brevors. Deposited by Messrs. Boulton Sons and Sandeman for the Cannon Brewery. Inventory compiled: LAccession 162] March 1968 D/ECb Introduction This collection consists of deeds incident to the conveyance of the vhole of the Hoddesdon Brewery and all its licensed houses in 1866 and titl e deeds of some of those houses and of others that were acquired later. The expansion of Hoddesdon Brewery dates from its purchase by William Whittingstall from Rene Briand in 1781. From that date til l his death in 1803, rfhittingstall systematically enlarged the brewery*s commercial outlets by buying up a number of public houses in the surrounding district. Messrs. John Christie and George Cathrow bought the property from Vhittingstall's executors and at the death of Cathrow in 1842 it was sold privately to a new partnership of Messrs. Peter Christie, John Back and Robert Hunt. After Peter Christie's death and when 3ack and Hunt had retired to their country estates, the firm was conveyed in 1866 to Charles Peter Christie. On his death in 1898 it was turned into a public company which 30 years later was absorbed by the Cannon Brewery of London, later controlled by Taylor, Valker and Co. and now by the Ind Coope combine. -

124 Wareside and Thundridge: a Countryside Walk of 6.0 Miles (10 Kms)
The Hundred Parishes Circular Walks – number 124 Wareside and Thundridge: a countryside walk of 6.0 miles (10 kms) This countryside walk is mostly in the parish of Wareside with about a third in the parish of Thundridge. The route is a mixture of footpaths, tracks and fairly quiet lanes, with no stiles. There are two pubs in the hamlet of Wareside, after about 3 miles. Start and finish: The walk starts from a quiet stretch of Fanhams Hall Road, a fairly quiet lane that runs between the north-east of Ware and Babbs Green in the parish of Wareside. The walk starts to the east of Fanhams Hall and just south of Noah’s Ark, about 200 yards west of where the Harcamlow Way crosses Fanhams Hall Road. There is ample room to park along this lane (and there are few suitable parking alternatives along the route). Ordnance Survey Grid Reference: TL378158 Postcode: SG12 7PW (the postcode covers about half a mile of mostly uninhabited roadway). The route can be followed on Ordnance Survey Explorer Map 194. A diagram of the route is provided at the end of the description. Head east along Fanhams Hall Road – keeping to the right so as to face any oncoming traffic. Not long after passing an 18th-century house on the left called Noah’s Ark, turn left onto a bridleway signposted to “Cold Christmas 1”. This is part of the Harcamlow Way long- distance route. Follow this wide track for some distance – with time to read a little background to this area. -

Making a Mint. Comparative Studies in Late Iron Age Coin Mould M Landon
The Prehistoric Society Book Reviews MAKING A MINT. COMPARATIVE STUDIES IN LATE IRON AGE COIN MOULD, BY MARK LANDON Archaeopress, Oxford. 2016. 199pp, 259 black & white figures and tables, ISBN 978-1-78491-408-0, pb, £34.00 Baked clay trays containing multiple rows of similarly-sized holes are not uncommon on later Iron Age settlements in Britain and many parts of continental Europe. Over the years, these ‘pellet moulds’ have attracted a fair amount of comment, primarily with regard to their perceived role in the minting of Iron Age coinage, but research has tended to focus on using scientific analysis to identify which metals were worked in them from any residues. Their morphology and manufacture has received much less attention, however, despite being no less relevant to understanding their function. One reason for this relative neglect was the small size and fragmentary nature of most assemblages, but the long-standing association with minting also played a part, leaving mould rather stranded on the wrong side of a disciplinary divide, divorced from studies of late Iron Age metalworking at large, and a second best to the objects that were supposedly produced with their aid. For remedying this situation, we are indebted to Mark Landon and his chance discovery in 2006 of a large deposit of mould eroding out of the bank of the River Rib at Ford Bridge, in the heart of the late Iron Age complex at Braughing- Puckeridge in Hertfordshire. There had been finds of pellet mould from earlier excavations in the vicinity, but nothing to compare to the mass recovered from Ford Bridge (nearly 10 kg of mould, and 6 kg of pottery, animal bone and furnace debris). -
