    ADDENDUM to UTT/ 13/3123/FUL (STRETHALL) (Referred to Committee by Cllr Menell. Reason: Impact on local countryside, visual impact on ancient manor of Strethall and church. Possible destruction of special verges, fauna and flora. Overdevelopment on constrained site. Contrary to policy ENV8, ENV9, and H6) PROPOSAL: New dwelling LOCATION: Ryders Barns, Strethall Lane, Strethall, APPLICANT: Mr Michael Vanoli EXPIRY DATE: 14 January 2013 CASE OFFICER: Tony Boswell This application was considered at the Committee’s last meeting on the 15th of January 2014 and was deferred to allow a site inspection and further information on two points. a) The alignment of the “Icknield Way Footpath” where that passes through the application site. A Statutory Footpath passes through the application site and would not be obstructed by the proposed new house – (although it might be marginally disrupted during construction). That statutory footpath forms part of the modern “Icknield Way Footway”, which is the route now favoured and recommended for use by ramblers and others seeking to follow approximately the route of the historic Icknield Way - rom Ivinghoe Beacon in Buckinghamshire to Knettishall Heath in Norfolk (approximately 110 miles). That historic route predates all of the modern field boundaries and local roads – generally less than 300 years old, and actually pre- dates the roman era. The map below is enlarged from a map published on-line by the Icknield Way Association and shows that ancient route, with the application site also indicated on that same map base. b) It should be noted that the Icknield Way Association were consulted about the current planning application and did not raise any objection.

  • Saffron Walden and Villages Team Ministry
    Saffron Walden and Villages Team Ministry Profile 2020 i September 2020 Thank you for taking the time to look at our Team Profile. We completed this in early March 2020 just before COVID-19 changed all our lives. We hope you will enjoy finding out more about our vibrant town and village ministries. During lockdown we have taken to Zoom and the telephone to keep in touch with each other and to continue to worship God together. You will find lots of information about our Church at Home and our online services on www.stmaryssaffronwalden.org and our village websites (which can be reached from the relevant pages of the profile). We have established a Pastoral Support team to help the vulnerable and isolating members of our congregation with shopping, collection of prescriptions and providing a listening ear. Many of our members have signed up to help as an NHS Volunteer, at the local foodbanks and with local support initiatives. We started reopening our churches in July in accordance with the current guidelines and are now holding a limited number of services in all the churches in the team. Many of our services are livestreamed and we are continuing to provide ministry online as well as face to face. We pray that as you discover more about us that you will feel God’s prompting. If it seems that this might be the ministry for you, please contact Archdeacon Robin King for a discussion. We hope that we will not need to wait too long to welcome our next Team Rector but we know that the timing is in God’s hands.

  • THE RIVER CAM OR GRANTA & Bourne River
    Water Power in Essex—The river Granta or Cam THE RIVER CAM OR GRANTA & Bourne River The River Cam is a tributary of the River Great Ouse. The two rivers join to the south of Ely at Pope’s Corner. In earlier times the Cam was named the Granta, but after the name of the Anglo-Saxon town of Grantebrycge had been modified to Cambridge, the river was renamed to match. The two principal tributaries of the Cam are the Granta and the Rhee, though both are also officially known as the Cam. The Rhee begins just off the High Street (Ashwell Springs), Ashwell in Hertfordshire running north then east 12 miles (19 km) through the farmland of southern Cambridgeshire. The longer tributary, the Granta, starts near the village of Widdington in Essex flowing the 15 miles (24 km) north past Audley End House to merge with the Rhee a mile south of Grantchester. A further tributary, also known as the Granta, runs 10 miles (16 km) from south of Haverhill to join the larger Granta south of Great Shelford. Parish Index : 1. Elmdon 1. Debden 1. Newport 5.

  • Excursion to Chelmsford: Saturday, July 11Th, 1891
    202 EXCURSION TO CHELMSFORD. EXCURSION TO CHELMSFORD. SATURDAY, JULY 11TH, 1891. (Itt conjunction with the Essex Field Club.) Director: HORACE W. MONCKTON, F.G.S. (R~port by THE DI RECTOR.) The object of this excursion was to study the Glacial Beds of the Chelmsford district. The party from London reached Chelmsford about half-past two o'clock. The first pit visited is close to the Chelmsford Waterworks on the Roxwell Road. It shows a very good section in well stratified Glacial Sand and Gravel. At the east end the gravel is overlaid by a mass of reddish clay containing unworn Chalk flints, &c., which is, no doubt, Chalky Boulder Clay, much decomposed. At about the middle of the section there is a deep hollow in the stratified sand and gravel, which is filled with Chalky Boulder Clay. This is a peculiarly interesting feature, and a photograph of it was taken by one of the party. The second pit visited is dose to the bridge over the River Wid at Writtle, and there the section is as follows;- I. Surface Gravel and a little Laminated Clay, probably Post-Glacial; 3 feet. 2. Red Clay with many stones and some Chalk, probably Boulder Clay, much decomposed; of irregular thickness. 3. Stratified Sands and Gravel, with a great abundance of red quartzite pebbles, and large blocks of white quartz-Glacial Gravel. On a heap of stones in the pit, Mr. Leighton found a block of Mica Schist, with garnets. S.\\'. ".E. f! . N. N. lVid Call Chtillur a. Alluvium. a'. Older All uvi um.

  • The Hundred Parishes LITTLE CHESTERFORD
    The Hundred Parishes An introduction to LITTLE CHESTERFORD Location: 3 miles northwest of Saffron Walden. Ordnance Survey grid square: TL5141. Postcode: CB10 1TS. Access: 1 mile from Great Chesterford station on London Liverpool Street to Cambridge line. B1383, B184. Bus: Citi 7 (Mon – Sat) between Cambridge and Saffron Walden. County: Essex. District: Uttlesford. Population: 215 in 2011. The Domesday Book of 1086 identifies Little Chesterford quite separately from its larger neighbour, Great Chesterford, and the two parishes have remained independent. Little Chesterford has an active parish church and a village hall which served as the village school from 1862 until the beginning of the 20th century. Little Chesterford village sits beside the River Cam (also known as the River Granta) between two roads that run South-North, the B1383 and B184. The parish also includes a small hamlet at Springwell, a little further south, and on the high ground a mile west of the village a substantial research park has been developed around a 19th-century mansion within Chesterford Park. The parish church, dedicated to St Mary the Virgin, dates from the 13th century. It is unusual in having the nave and chancel under a single roof without a division. Beside the church stands The Manor which also dates from the 13th century and may pre-date the church. It is a private house, listed as Grade I, and is one of the oldest surviving domestic buildings in Essex. Alterations were made in the 14th and 16th centuries, but much of the original roof structure remains, as do elements of 13th- century windows.

  • 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.

  • Sorting out the Pledgers
    Sorting out the Pledgers A family reconstitution of the descendants of George Pledger of Littlebury (1668 – 1739) This account was written because I found some key differences between my research on this family and the version which appears in Megan Ridgewell’s The Pledger Family Archives. While I have respect for the enormous amount of work which has gone into that book, the author had one of my direct ancestors linked to an entirely different spouse, and another descended from a different branch of the family. So I set out to try and confirm or disprove my version of events. I am making what I found available to other researchers not to belittle other versions, but to encourage those who may be connected to this family to look at the original records rather than accept verbatim what has previously been written. The key players in this story seem to have spent much of their lives migrating between Great Chesterford and Littlebury, which, along with the limited choice of Christian names, makes it very difficult to disentangle the various branches. I have numbered all the various Georges, Williams etc, both in the account which follows and the appended tree, in an attempt to make it clear which one is under discussion. I am quite willing to believe that I may have made some wrong deductions, but I am sure that my direct ancestor, Sarah Pledger, born 1794, was the daughter of William5 Pledger and Sarah Mason, not of William Pledger and Elizabeth Bailey of Chippenham. All key parish register details are taken from filmed versions of the original documents on microfiche at the Essex Record Office unless specified otherwise.
