A History of Newton Newton Neighbourhood Plan Appendix 4 History of Newton A BRIEF HISTORY OF NEWTON Introduction A description of Newton in William White’s directory of Suffolk for 1855 quotes ‘Newton-near-Sudbury, a pleasant village, scattered around a green of 40 acres, 3miles east of Sudbury, has in its parish 499 souls and 2197 acres of land in the Manors of Newton Hall and Bottelers.’ There are currently 229 houses in Newton, and a population of probably a little over 500. In 1801 there were only 47 houses with a population of 354, and in 1831 there were 84 houses with a population of 432. Thus whilst the number of houses has increased substantially, the density of occupation has reduced from 7.5 per property in 1801, to 4.2 in 1831and as low as 2.2 in 2018. It is interesting to note that the population of the village has increased very little in the last 100 or more years. The centre of the village is of course the Green, and the description ‘pleasant village’ ought to be extended to ‘a pleasant and beautiful village’. What more beautiful sight could you have than that which lies before you as you take in the views across the Green, particularly in spring when all the daffodils are in full bloom? Newton Neighbourhood Plan 1 Regulation 16 Submission Consultation The postal address of the village for much of the 20th century was Newton Green, near Sudbury, so that it was not confused with Old Newton near Stowmarket. In my opinion, the name Newton Green better describes the village, and many people still refer to it as such. In an article published in 1961 the then Rector, the Rev A G Ensor wrote “The psychological centre of Newton Green is the Green itself”, and appealed for this attractive open space to be saved from being spoilt. He continues “One wonders what those 18th century Newtonians would think of the changing pattern of the Suffolk countryside today, of modern amenities, of our radio and TV and our rapid means of communication and transport. Yet those of us who live in Newton have inherited from them this piece of common land which is part of our parish as it was in their day. No doubt its appearance has altered much but it is still a pleasant spot however we make use of it or merely stand to admire it. One can only hope that the Green as part of Newton will remain a heritage worthy to be handed to those that come after us so that they will experience the same enjoyment that we do today.” Those sentiments are still very valid, and should extend also to the whole of this village with its many beautiful views and locations. Every effort must be made to preserve and protect such a beautiful place. The Golf Club It is relevant at this point to consider the importance of the Golf Club to the village. Just try to imagine what the Green would be like if it was not as neat and tidy as it is kept today; you would need to go back over 100 years and visualize the Green then. It would have been a mass of blackthorn bushes and brambles, impenetrable gorse bushes, and grass which would have grown to waist height. True there would have been cattle and sheep allowed to graze along with various other animals, which might have kept the vegetation down somewhat. I can remember in the 1950’s Lizzie Hurst at The Plough keeping flocks of ducks and guinea fowl, and a stinking billy goat. Frank Morley at Potash had a flock of geese which would Newton Neighbourhood Plan 2 Regulation 16 Submission Consultation chase off the unwary, whilst Arthur Davey and Herbert Humm had chicken huts in the pits, with the hens roaming freely. A proposal to build a golf course on the Green was mooted in 1901 but firmly rejected by the Parish Council. A few years later in 1906, under pressure from the then Lord of the Manor, Earl Howe, the village gave in and the golf course was laid out, with play commencing in 1907. No doubt the presence of the Gentry, and then business men playing golf had an effect on the village, but a great rapport grew up between the villagers and the golfers. Many of the village lads were encouraged to learn to play golf, and they later represented the club on many occasions. As the village changed however with many new people coming to live here, perhaps some of that closeness has been lost, but the Golf Club continues to be a very important part of the village. The Village Hall The Village Hall is an important meeting place and was originally the village school. By the 1830’s the village needed a place of education for its children. The site which was chosen was part of the village green. The attractive building was erected in 1835 and was paid for by public subscription. It operated as a school for just over 100 years, closing in 1938 because there were too few children attending to make it viable. The village children were subsequently bussed to other local schools, firstly Great Waldingfield, then Assington, and later Boxford. After closure as a school the building began to be used as the village hall (it had previously been used as a village meeting place – press reports in 1906 show that it was the location for a meeting of the village to decide whether to allow a golf course to be laid out on the Green). In 1943 Diocesan Trustees were appointed and there followed protracted negotiations to claim village ownership of the building. In 1948 the Diocesan Board and the Parish Council signed an agreement on the use of the hall, but it was not until 1957 that the hall and land was sold to the Parish Council for a sum of £550, which again was raised by public subscription. In Newton Neighbourhood Plan 3 Regulation 16 Submission Consultation effect having originally given the land and paid for the cost of construction, the village had to buy it back again! Substantial renovation work was carried out. There had been a wood and glass partition to create two separate rooms for the school, and this was removed to form the large room we have now, and the floor was replaced. An extension was built on the rear of the building to provide toilets and a kitchen, and a committee room was constructed at the side. Beyond this the outside lavatories were incorporated into the building to create a store room. In 1961 a management committee to be responsible for the running and maintenance of the hall was appointed. The land at the side of the hall had been used as allotment gardens, the hall being approached by a single driveway with a gate at the road end. To celebrate the Queen’s Silver Jubilee in 1977 it was agreed to use the lane on the left to create the Jubilee Garden. A few years later the land on the right was used to create the car park. In the early years of the 21st century major works were carried out to modernise the kitchen and toilets; the front porch was redesigned, the committee room extended and a much needed larger storeroom was built. With gardens and a patio area being created outside we now have an attractive and well used village hall in very pleasant surroundings, and with excellent facilities. Newton Green Trust The ownership of the Green had traditionally been regarded as being in the hands of The Lord of the Manor. Following the passing of The Common Lands Registration Act in 1965, the then Lord of the Manor, Roland Oliver, took the opportunity to transfer the ownership of the Green to the Village. This involved the Green being registered as a village green, and the creation of the Newton Green Trust to receive ownership and be responsible for the future management of the Green for the benefit of the village. Complying with all the legal requirements took several years and it was not until 1976 that the Trust was formally created. Following this a formal licence was granted to the golf Newton Neighbourhood Plan 4 Regulation 16 Submission Consultation club with provision for an agreed annual rental. The Trust Deed provides that the income received by the Trust is to be applied for the benefit of the village. The Playing Field One of the problems which arose from the Green being used as a golf course was that there was nowhere available for other sports, particularly football and cricket, to be played. In 1966 Roland Oliver approached Cecil Smith the owner of the field behind the village hall to ask whether he would be prepared to let or sell the land to the Parish Council for use as a sports field. He was agreeable to making the field available to the village, but would only let it to Mr Oliver, not to the Parish Council. This was agreed and Mr Oliver arranged for the Golf Club to maintain the field in return for being able to use it as a practice ground. Football and cricket pitches were created on the field and were well used for many years. Sadly, there is now no football or cricket club in the village and the pitches have become disused. Following Mr Smith’s death negotiations began to purchase the field and the ownership passed to Newton Green Trust in 1978 at a cost of about £8000, which was initially raised by interest free loans within the village.

  • Archeology in Suffolk, 1964
    ARCHEOLOGY IN SUFFOLK, 1964 By ELIZABETH OWLES, B.A. andNORMANSMEDLEY,M.A.,F.S.A., F.M.A. Although the value of this index is naturally greatest to those engaged in research on the various periods or subjects recorded, it is hoped that the introduction at least may be read by members with general rather than specialist interests. To these, therefore, an appeal is made to report to the Ipswich Museum any finds of which they may become aware, giving as many details as possible, e.g., I. Locality, with a National Grid Reference if this is possible, or such details as may enable this to be worked out. Name and address of owner of the site. Nature of any material finds, with name of finder if this differs from that of the informant. Whether any excavation has been carried out. The urge to dig and to collect is strong, but should be held in check unless the digger is fully trained and competent to carry out the work according to modern standards, to draw and interpret accurate measured plans and sections, take photographs, and prepare a report suitable for publication in an appropriate journal. Excavation inevitably involves destruction of the evidence, and should not be lightly undertaken merely to satisfy curiosity or, worse still, for the purpose of 'collecting specimens'. Valuable work can be done by amateurs, not only in helping with excavations under supervision, but by carrying out field surveys. A report is badly needed on the present state of existing monuments, especially tumuli. Even those which are protected by scheduling are liable to gradual levelling by ploughing which is still, unfortunately, permitted.

Summer 2007 ISSUE No.30 CORNARD PEOPLE - FRED BLOYS Fred Bloys was born into a Cornard family when the village really was a village and everyone was familiar with the people that lived around them. Fred’s family has long connections in the area. His great grandfather opened a mineral water business in Friars Street in Sudbury - the bottles from that business turn up very occasionally when the river is being s dredged, and another relative was a lock keeper on the river Stour. Fred grew up in a house in Bures Road on the corner of Radiator Road - his father bought the land and had the house built. He remembers a happy secure childhood wandering the lanes and byways in Cornard. There were many little shops in the vicinity including a ‘cobblers’ in one of the cottages on Bures Road that face Head Lane. It probably did very well as people w walked everywhere. Fred would collect the milk for the family on his bike from Layzell Farm on Bures Road. He recalls on one trip, during the war, seeing a German plane Photo - Cornard News flying low overhead with a German gunner, complete with a machine gun, clearly visible. However, luckily, the gunner did not consider Fred a threat. The nearest bomb to drop in Cornard was at the Water Tower and e although it left a deep crater nobody was hurt. Fred’s father was in the home guard and had a bell in his bedroom that was connected to the house of the Company’s Commanding Officer (CO) who lived only a few doors away.

  • Appendix 1 Assessment Sheets for Babergh
    Appendix 1 Assessment Sheets for Babergh Sensitivity Assessment Sheets Settlement Name: Bildeston District: Babergh Settlement Description: Bildeston lies about 5 miles north of Hadleigh on the east bank of Bildeston Brook. The settlement is sited at the junction of the main route between Stowmarket to the north and Hadleigh to the south and Monks Eleigh to the west and Needham Market to the east. The valley has cut through the High Suffolk boulder clay with the brook along its base being a tributary of the River Brett, which flows south to join the Stour. Only the farm associated with Bildeston Hall lies on the west bank of the brook, with the rest of the village area centred along the High Street, Chapel Street and Duke Street containing large numbers of listed buildings. The grade I listed Church of St Mary is located some way to the west of the village along Church Lane. The majority of the listed buildings are contained within the Bildeston Conservation Area which stretches the length of the High Street and along Chapel and Duke Streets. The built form within the conservation area comprises a mix of timber framed and brick buildings fronting directly onto the pavement. There is a centrally placed market place with a clock tower, war memorial and telephone box, all listed grade II. Summary History: The earliest evidence of occupation within the settlement dates from the Mesolithic period, with find sites located inside and outside the settlement. An Iron Age sherd of pottery and Roman coins have come from sites along Church Lane within the historic core, and the line of a Roman road runs just to the north of the settlement.
