  • Newsletter July 2020
    Hemingford Grey Parish Council Newsletter July 2020 Notes from the Chair There’s no denying the last four months or so have not been easy and unfortunately there are still likely to be difficult periods ahead. However, as we carefully and gradually come out of lockdown, it's right that we start looking towards the future. The pandemic has shown us that, people suddenly confined to their homes and locality discovered a world and community literally on their doorsteps that they’d either forgotten about or had been too busy to engage with. I believe that hope can be found in this, and particularly in the resurgence of community spirit. The numbers who volunteered for the HemingfordHub or just helped out a neighbour demonstrate that when the going gets really tough, we come together to support each other. And, when individuals from across the local community join forces, these actions become all the more powerful. So perhaps the one “silver-lining” of the coronavirus outbreak and the enforced lockdown, could be a lasting and positive effect on community engagement. To that end, in this edition of the newsletter, we update you on some of the initiatives that Parish Council are already taking forward and ask you to join us. That could be as simple as watering one of our recently planted trees, getting involved in one of our forthcoming events, such as the rescheduled litter pick, joining one of our working groups, or becoming a Parish Councillor. But whatever it is, you decide to do, or how much time you can offer – let’s take something positive out of the last few months.

  • Annual Report 2013
    Civic Society of St Ives Annual Report 2013 THE CIVIC SOCIETY OF ST IVES The Civic Society of St Ives was formed in 1968 to fight the pro- posed plans to route the St Ives Bypass down Ramsey Road, across The Waits, Holt Island and Hemingford Meadow. The siting of the St Ives Bypass as it is today is a result of our ear- ly campaigns. The Society continues to care for the beauty and character of the town, as well as working to stimulate public interest in civic mat- ters and to provide an information service for those who wish to know more about the town’s history and development, and of the surrounding area. Its web-site can be found at: www.stivescivic.org.uk The society is a member of: The Campaign to Protect Rural England www.cpre.org.uk and The Cambridge Antiquarian Society www.camantsoc.org 2 CONTENTS The Civic Society of St Ives—Its Aims 2 Chairman’s Report 4 Annual Accounts 6 Treasurer’s Report 8 Minutes of the last Annual General Meeting—2012 10 Annual General Meeting 2013—Agenda 14 Summary of Talks 2012—2013 15 Programme of Talks 2013—2014 24 Civic Society visit to Houghton Hall 38 Hidden History of St Ives Parish Church Hall 43 History Presentation Boards 47 Thomas Hodgson Liddell 48 3 CHAIRMAN’S REPORT It scarcely seems a year since the last Report was written and once again I am writing it in July to allow time for compilation, printing and distribution for our AGM in October.

  • 1 Agenda Item No: 4 ST IVES BRIDGE CHAPEL
    Agenda Item No: 4 ST IVES BRIDGE CHAPEL – MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND POTENTIAL FUTURE USE To: Assets and Investment Committee Meeting Date: 16th December 2016 From: Deputy Chief Executive, Chris Malyon Electoral division(s): St Ives Forward Plan ref: N/a Key decision: No Purpose: To propose a formal agreement with the Norris Museum to manage the Chapel of St Ledger, St Ives River Bridge on behalf of Cambridgeshire County Council. Recommendation: It is recommended that the Committee; Agree the proposed draft agreement set out by the Norris Museum for management of the asset. Officer contact: Name: Stephen McGee Post: Bridge Engineer – Highway Projects Email: [email protected] Tel: 01223 715652 1 1. BACKGROUND 1.1 St Ives River Bridge and Chapel is a 15th century six span stone arch structure and is noted for being only one of four bridges in England to incorporate a chapel. The structure is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and Grade 1 listed and therefore any structural or fabric alterations must be approved by Historic England. 1.2 The bridge was originally a toll bridge under the ownership of the Duke of Manchester. By 1921 the bridge had fallen into disrepair and the Duke sold it to Huntingdonshire County Council (predecessor to Cambridgeshire County Council). Since 1921 the bridge has been the responsibility of the County Council, forming part of the highway asset and therefore maintained as such. 1.3 Legal records show that the Chapel wasn’t included at the time, but was sold separately under another conveyance dated in 1928 from Mence & Mence to the County Council for the Administrative County of Huntingdon.

  • The Easterling
    1 THE EASTERLING JOURNAL OF THE EAST ANGLIAN WATERWAYS ASSOCIATION VOLUME NINE NUMBER SEVENTEEN MARCH 2017 Edited by Alan H. Faulkner 43 Oaks Drive, Colchester, Essex CO3 3PS Phone 01206 767023 E-mail [email protected] NAVIGATING THE OLD BEDFORD RIVER John Revell & Mike Daines (IWA Peterborough Branch) 15 November 2016 In November 2016 I took my narrowboat, based at Fox's Marina in March, into the Old Bedford River via the tidal river Great Ouse at Salter's Lode. This is not as simple as it sounds. It has to be done “on the level” and the Old Bedford and the narrow tidal channel which leads to it are in poor condition. As a result, few boats have been willing or able to do this in recent years. 2 I attempted the same journey in November 2015 and managed about a mile before being forced to turn round through lack of water and a massive amount of cott weed which completely clogged up the propeller. This year I emailed the Environment Agency (EA) will in advance on the 7th October advising them that I proposed to navigate the Old Bedford during the period 3 November to 5 November. I further explained that I would aim to cruise all the way to Welches Dam lock and I asked for confirmation that the Welney Guillotine Gate, through which we would have to pass, would be left open in the raised (navigable) position. I never received a reply from EA. I successfully entered the Old Bedford at 7.45am on Saturday November 5.

Sgt Ben Cartmell, Snr Drill Instructor explains the work done to make a whole regiment parade in unison and provide such an impressive spectacle. Planning for the day started six months in advance, but for me preparation started with basic foot drill lessons the month before. This was an opportunity for soldiers to get used to marching again - necks in the back of the collar and arms shoulder high. After the basics had been revised, we progressed into rifle drill - at the halt and on the march - with a focus on fixing bayonets, as this was to be such a key part of the parade.

  • Milestone Society Newsletter 10
    THE MILESTONE SOCIETY Newsletter 10 January 2006 The Cover Picture - The drawing is by Frank Patterson (1871 - 1952) and is reproduced with the kind permission of Gerry Moore who wrote the biography of this prolific artist. Copies of Gerry Moore's book are available from the author; contact and purchase details are given later in this Newsletter (p. 26). "G.O.O" stands for "Good Old Ordinary", referring to the type of bicycle. Frank Patterson had a unique and most attractive style in his line drawings, many of which he produced for the magazine Cycling and the C.T.C. Gazette. He has featured in an earlier edition of the Newsletter (Number 7, p. 20). EDITORS' COMMENTS - Regular readers of the Newsletter will notice a different order of material in this issue, resulting from a constructive suggestion from the committee that the more mundane material should appear later in the issue with the 'newsy' and illustrated items coming towards the front. The short reports on committee meetings serve to highlight issues under consideration and the reports on Society meetings are hopefully of value and interest to the majority of members who are not able to attend in person. We hope that the Newsletter continues to serve its purpose of providing the membership with the opportunity to communicate and read items in a relatively short format on topics of wide interest on milemarkers and to provide a means to get important information (notices of meetings, etc.) to members. NOTES AND QUERIES Fractions Further evidence that Cheshire was very precise in its measurements comes from Allan Brackenbury, resident of that county (see NL9, p.

No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system or transmitted in any form or by any means, electrical, mechanical, photocopying, recording or otherwise without the permission of the copyright owner. Printed and bound by St Ives Quickprint Ltd Cover designed by Brightspark Creative (www.brightsparkcreative.com) The Growth of Hemingford Grey Foreword This small book began as a talk I gave to the Hemingfords’ Local History Society in 2010, entitled ‘The Growth of Hemingford Grey’. In an earlier talk given by two members of the Society, Pat Douglas and Sarah Power, they had spoken of a World War II Hemingford Grey when the population was 688 (according to the 1931 census) and that by 2001 it was 2,524. So I decided to try to find out when, how and where the village had grown. I have always had an interest in architectural periods and was aware of the rough dates of many of the village houses, but further research was needed. Some of the information I have used is based on written sources, some on 19 th century census returns, on maps (not always accurate) and on 19th and early 20th century commercial directories. Also, several small books written about various aspects of the village have yielded much useful information, but many of the observations that I make are based on individual home owners, or past owners, giving me dates of their own or other properties and most importantly on the folk memory of older residents.
