Wells and Pumps<br />

The first amendments are now available for<br />

purchasers of <strong>Hatfield</strong> Regis Local History Society's<br />

publication “The Wells and Pumps of <strong>Hatfield</strong><br />

<strong>Heath</strong>”. It is suggested the following be added to the<br />

addendum page :<br />

APRIL 2013<br />

Lilac Cottage, Stortford Road. Enlargement of the<br />

cottage. Well filled in and an extension built over.<br />

Pump gone.<br />

The Stag. Development planned. The well remains<br />

covered over in what was a bar of this public house.<br />

A cast iron yard pump which stood against an outside<br />

wall has gone.<br />

There are possibly four more sites still to be<br />

researched and an article from an owner who is<br />

restoring his pump for irrigation use still to come.<br />

“Thank you” to all who have purchased a copy.<br />

Copies of this publication, the late Robin Gurnett's<br />

“<strong>Hatfield</strong> <strong>Heath</strong> and its Residents in 1861” and<br />

“Prisoner of War Camp 116” by Ivan Cooper are still<br />

available at the PO/<strong>Village</strong> Tea Room or contact<br />

<strong>Hatfield</strong> Regis<br />

Local History Society<br />

President: Rupert Gosling Esq. Lord of the Manor<br />

The April meeting of the History Society began with a<br />

launch of the <strong>Hatfield</strong> <strong>Heath</strong> POW Camp 116 Book preceded<br />

by a slide presentation. A well attended meeting followed<br />

the local history of the Camp and a general<br />

introduction to POW Camps in the British Isles.<br />

The location in Mill Lane provided the starting point for<br />

a series of images that was representative of both the<br />

Prisoners and Guards sections. Aerial photographs dated<br />

1946 and recent images show that the Camp has not<br />

changed considerably. The Prisoner section is now occupied<br />

by Greenways with many of the original Laing wood<br />

buildings still in use after almost 60 years. The Guards<br />

section brick built MOWP style has not been occupied and<br />

is now overgrown and subjected to vandalism. There is<br />

however examples of Prisoner artistic abilities in the Camp<br />

and others presented to some <strong>Village</strong>rs. A mural painted<br />

above the door in the canteen, carvings owned by Joy<br />

Passfield and a series of water colours are some examples<br />

of the Prisoners skills. Shower, toilet, kitchen and Guards<br />

living quarters, although dilapidated are still recognisable<br />

as buildings which would have been occupied during the<br />

war.<br />

The presentation ended with a question and answer<br />

session that involved contributions from some of the audience<br />

who had personal recollections and memories of the<br />

Prisoners.<br />

A Talk on Ethiopia<br />

Diane and Richard’s illustrated talk on Ethiopia was<br />

stimulating and informative. It was very interesting to<br />

discover something about the rich history, culture and<br />

traditions of a people that I only became of in terms of<br />

famine or the war with Eritrea.<br />

The majority of<br />

the talk centred<br />

on the Rock<br />

Churches of<br />

Lalibela. It was<br />

fascinating to<br />

learn that these<br />

churches were<br />

carved into rock<br />

horizontally or<br />

vertically. The<br />

vertical ones<br />

starting at the<br />

top, cutting out<br />

the shape,<br />

creating a space<br />

around and then<br />

working down to<br />

the required<br />

level.<br />

Some of the churches were beautifully decorated. As<br />

can be seen from the picture below, there is a strong<br />

influence of Judaism in the Christianity practised in this<br />

region. The final picture shows a priest holding the<br />

special cross of<br />

Lalibela. He is<br />

also holding a<br />

stick with a bar<br />

across the top.<br />

the bar forms a chin rest which affords some measure<br />

of relief for tired legs.<br />

We were also shown some of the primitive conditions of<br />

Northern Ethiopia. Women collecting water from rivers<br />

or springs in<br />

large containers<br />

and then<br />

carrying them<br />

home on their<br />

heads. Some of<br />

the men in the<br />

tour group had<br />

difficulty lifting<br />

them.<br />

Before the talk<br />

we were treated<br />

to some<br />

delicious<br />

sandwiches and scrumptious cakes. We were also<br />

able to chat to old friends and make some new ones.<br />

The talk was given to raise money for Holy Trinity<br />

Friends. This is an organisation which provides funds<br />

to go towards the upkeep of the village church. We love<br />

our church and think that the village and the community<br />

would be poorer in every way without it. If you would<br />

like to support the church by joining the Friends (£10 a<br />

year, or £100 for a lifetime membership) please contact<br />

the Vicarage 730288, or one of the churchwardens,<br />

730610 or 870390.<br />

IN-SHAPE BOOTCAMP<br />

Spring back into shape for summer!!<br />

Do you want to lose weight, get fit and burn big calories?<br />

Then try In-Shape Bootcamp! It is an intense interval fitness program for<br />

men and women of all ages, shapes, sizes and fitness levels.<br />

WANTED<br />

A GROUP OF 6-8 PEOPLE<br />

WILLING TO BECOME FIRST RESPONDERS<br />

FOR THE VILLAGE.<br />

You may be aware that we live a distance away<br />

from the nearest Ambulance Station, this means that<br />

we are well outside the recommended 8 minute<br />

response time.<br />

You may also be aware that the first few minutes<br />

can make a difference between life and death in the<br />

case of Cardiac Arrest, with the time to first<br />

treatment being critical.<br />

In view of this I am trying to get a group of 6-8<br />

people who would be willing to become First<br />

Responders for the village.<br />

This role is a voluntary one, and it does mean<br />

undergoing advanced life saving training by the East<br />

of England Ambulance Service. If you are interested<br />

and would like further information please email me<br />

at alex@ash1staidtraining.co.uk , or grab me on a<br />

Tuesday evening at Brownies or Guides in St.<br />

Mary’s school, <strong>Hatfield</strong> Broad Oak.<br />

If we can get enough volunteers we<br />

really could make the difference<br />

between life and death to someone<br />

in our village.<br />

Thank you<br />

BOOTCAMP DID THE LACTIC RUSH 2013<br />

It was 8.5 miles of running cross country with<br />

30 obstacles including wading through neck<br />

high muddy water and mud puddles


BIRD SCARERS<br />

I was playing in the lane when the local farmer<br />

approached me. He dug in his pocket and produced<br />

a sixpence telling me to make as much noise as I<br />

could whenever the pigeons came down into the<br />

field behind our bungalow. The wheat had just been<br />

harvested and the sheaves stood in stooks, the ears<br />

gathered together in a concentration of grain that<br />

must be irresistible for a flock of pigeons. I took<br />

great delight in banging an old dustbin lid and was<br />

very effective, at least for the time that I was on<br />

duty. The sixpence together with a ration coupon<br />

enabled me to buy a bar of chocolate from the local<br />

transport café.<br />

I realise now that the war had highlighted the<br />

vulnerability of our food supply and, in the years<br />

immediately following, the wartime attitude towards<br />

home production continued, which included<br />

ploughing unused meadows to increase production.<br />

Loss of food to pigeons and other wildlife was<br />

unacceptable and in the late 1950’s or early 60’s<br />

there were inter county shoots to help reduce the<br />

pigeon numbers.<br />

With world population around the seven billion and<br />

rising rapidly, together with increased prosperity in<br />

the developing world there is a growing concern<br />

over food supply and no doubt our farmers will rise<br />

to the challenge as they always have.<br />

<strong>Hatfield</strong> <strong>Heath</strong> Football Club<br />

“TREBLE" WIN<br />

THE DIVISION ONE LEAGUE TITLE,<br />

THE DIVISION ONE CUP<br />

BILL BRUTY CUP.<br />

<strong>Hatfield</strong> <strong>Heath</strong> Football Club has just completed<br />

one of the most successful and memorable<br />

seasons in our history.<br />

Under manager Spencer Bull the club won the<br />

coveted "treble" winning the Division One<br />

league title, the Division One cup and then<br />

topped it off with the prestigious Bill Bruty Cup.<br />

Older villagers will remember Bill who lived in<br />

Ardley Crescent and was a legend of the Essex<br />

football scene until his death in the early 1980s.<br />

So it was particularly poignant to win the trophy<br />

for only the second time ever with a 4-2 win<br />

over Parsloe Athletic at Bishop's Stortford's<br />

Woodside Park stadium on May 11th.<br />

It's an exciting time for the club with the launch<br />

of our fund-raising appeal to secure a pitch in<br />

the village. We have already banked over<br />

£3,000 in our attempts to raise enough money<br />

to buy land for a pitch for the first time in the<br />

club's 120 year history.<br />

A quiz in the village halll raised £765 and a<br />

dress up to earn money for those that needed it. The<br />

school dressed up in red and did a school talent show.<br />

Even though the children and staff had a great time<br />

no one forgot the cause that they were raising money<br />

for.<br />

The school showed great talent, entertainment and<br />

enthusiasm for Comic Relief! The winner of the<br />

juniors was Jed Eastland singing ‘Food Glorious<br />

Food’ from Oliver Twist and the joint winners for the<br />

infants were a group of dancers and a group of<br />

singers singing ‘Skyfall’.<br />

The school raised approximately £1000; an amazing<br />

amount of money for Comic Relief.<br />

PHIL SNELL<br />

NEED FOR MORE RUNWAYS IS<br />

AVIATION INDUSTRY SPIN,<br />

SSE TELLS<br />

AIRPORTS COMMISSION<br />

The UK economy is not being held back through a lack<br />

of airport capacity, says Stop Stansted Expansion (SSE).<br />

In a statement based on its submission to the Airports<br />

Commission, widely reported in national and regional<br />

media, the campaign group says there simply isn't any<br />

unsatisfied demand for more business flights or for more<br />

routes to emerging markets. Claims that the UK<br />

economy is suffering through lack of airport capacity are<br />

aviation industry spin, it says. To back up its statement,<br />

SSE says <strong>Heath</strong>row flew more people to Miami last year<br />

than to the whole of mainland China, and more people to<br />

Nice than to either Beijing or Shanghai. Gatwick flew<br />

almost 50 times as many people to Spain last year as to<br />

the four BRIC countries - Brazil, Russia, India and<br />

China - combined. Stansted provides flights every day of<br />

the week to Alicante but none at all to any of Europe's<br />

main business centres such as Paris, Zurich and<br />

Frankfurt. Meanwhile, London continues to be<br />

independently ranked as the best city in Europe for<br />

doing business and as the city with the best transport<br />

links with other cities and internationally. In its<br />

submission to the Commission, Brian Ross, SSE's<br />

economics adviser, says overall demand for business<br />

flights is actually declining and is now 20% less than it<br />

was ten years ago. SSE's submission to the Airports<br />

Commission<br />

LONDON 'WON'T GET BOOST FROM<br />

AIRPORT EXPANSION'<br />

London Evening Standard - 22 April 2013<br />

AN INDEPENDENT report into airports expansion<br />

today accused groups in favour of boosting capacity<br />

of "distorting" the economic arguments.<br />

The study by Dutch consultants CE Delft claims the proexpansion<br />

lobby is guilty of "miscalculating" and<br />

"exaggerating" the case for change. It also criticised the<br />

Department for Transport for failing to take into account<br />

social and environmental costs compared with the<br />

economic benefits. And it said London's economy would<br />

not necessarily get a boost from expanding or building<br />

new airports as it already had good air connections.<br />

Sir Howard Davies's airports commission is examining<br />

whether the South-East needs additional capacity to<br />

remain a major world player. John Stewart of Hacan, the<br />

<strong>Heath</strong>row anti-expansion group, said: "This new report<br />

could not be more timely. It comes just as the<br />

commission is asking the hard questions about airport<br />

capacity and connectivity. Its message is clear: new<br />

runways may not be nearly as important for our<br />

economy as is commonly assumed."<br />

The study, commissioned by Hacan, said the Department<br />

for Transport estimated <strong>Heath</strong>row expansion would<br />

produce £5 billion in economic benefits but when the<br />

New Economics Foundation used different predictions<br />

for growth and oil prices they found it would result in a<br />

£5 billion loss.<br />

The new report comes as the Confederation of British<br />

Industry risked a backlash by claiming that night flights<br />

into <strong>Heath</strong>row, Stansted and Gatwick must be protected<br />

because they contribute £1.2 billion to the economy.<br />

period of occupation. In particular the accounts<br />

given by the Vicars during the two World Wars gave<br />

an insight as to life here which could not be obtained<br />

by any history book. Here is the third report which<br />

covers the period 1905 - 1915 during the Rev De<br />

Vere Watson's time.<br />

The next Editor the Rev. H. DE V. WATSON who<br />

came here in 1905, and is now Rector of<br />

Belbroughtqn in.Worcestershire, has sent some<br />

very interesting reminiscences of his ten years'<br />

work here,<br />

" I first took services in the church at <strong>Hatfield</strong> <strong>Heath</strong><br />

on Ash Wednesday, March 8th, 1905, though I was<br />

not actually licensed and admitted as Perpetual Curate<br />

and Titular Vicar until March 28th by the Bishop of<br />

St. Albans.<br />

My most vivid recollection of coming to the Vicarage<br />

is that a new kitchen range which had been included<br />

in the repairs to be done had not arrived and that Mr<br />

and Mrs, Horace Broke, who had invited us to stay at<br />

Gladwyns for a day or two, most kindly<br />

kept us there for a fortnight. This was the beginning<br />

of a friendship which, I am glad to say, lasts to the<br />

present time with a family whose interest in the parish<br />

has been unfailing.<br />

The most outstanding event connected with the<br />

church during my time as Vicar was the celebration of<br />

the Jubilee of its consecration on August 4th, 1909,<br />

During the preceding 3 years £300 had been raised for<br />

a new organ, which is still I trust doing good service.<br />

On August 4th the Bishop of St<br />

24


Albans, Dr. Jacob, came to dedicate it, and two<br />

former Vicars, Mr. Beaven and Mr. Reynolds, were<br />

present to take part in our thanksgiving services.<br />

The church was, I remember, packed to the doors.<br />

On the following day there was a most enjoyable Fete<br />

at the Vicarage. Memory recalls the Widdington<br />

Brass Band and the Rev. F. W. Galpin<br />

of, Broad Oak, a most accomplished musician,<br />

amusing himself by playing various instruments in<br />

turn in order to give .the players a rest. Also the<br />

800 fairy lamps which lighted up the garden in the<br />

evening.<br />

I look on to another August 4th, that of; 1914 when<br />

war was declared on Germany. I had arranged to start<br />

my holiday on that day and a locum was coming into<br />

the Vicarage. Not knowing exactly what was going<br />

to happen we had agreed to carry on with our plans,<br />

so my wife and I and our two little girls started off for<br />

the Isle of Wight where we spent the first few weeks<br />

of the War. On our return many lads came from time<br />

to time to the Vicarage to discuss the question of<br />

enlistment and there was a very good response of<br />

volunteers from the village. Special Constables were<br />

enrolled. I was made a Corporal and had many night<br />

walks round the village, often with Mr. Ernest<br />

Hockley. The Government kept in view the<br />

possibility of an attempt at invasion and instructions<br />

were issued as to the roads by which the villagers<br />

were to be evacuated in the event of a landing on the<br />

East coast. Able bodied men were to remain behind to<br />

help to dig trenches, etc., and part of my duties was<br />

specified to be that of' burying the dead.'<br />

In my time means of transport were limited, and there<br />

was no wireless, so that we were a self-contained<br />

community depending on ourselves for amusement,<br />

and I remember many enjoyable concerts and other<br />

social gatherings in Trinity Halt. Cricket was popular<br />

and calls to mind the figures of I. Brown, G. Harris,<br />

P. Newman, R.Warden and<br />

others. A popular event, which included a cricket<br />

match, was an annual visit of a party from the Trinity<br />

College Oxford Mission at Stratford, where I began<br />

work. This contact between the village and Londonover-the-<br />

Border was beneficial to all. The Mission<br />

has alas ! been bombed out of existence. There was a<br />

very clear cut division between Church and Chapel,<br />

though we were good friends, for each body had its<br />

own Day School with Head Master and Assistants, a<br />

most unusual position in a village of only about 600<br />

inhabitants. There were very few children who did<br />

not belong to one of the Sunday Schools and though<br />

maybe one looks back through rose-tinted glasses, it<br />

seems to me that there was a<br />

greater readiness to attend Sunday Services and weekday<br />

meetings of various kinds than I find now-a-days<br />

This may have been partly due to the fact that we<br />

were, as I have said, a self contained community. In<br />

25<br />

addition to the organ, and oak casing which was<br />

added later, the church was beautified by the E.<br />

window given by Mrs. Horace Broke and family, and<br />

the wrought iron lectern subscribed for by<br />

parishioners and friends, both in memory of Mr.<br />

Horace Broke, These were dedicated on Palm<br />

Sunday, 1911, by the Rev. J. B. Andrews, RD. and<br />

later Mrs. Broke gave the small window adjoining the<br />

pew where they had always sat. Mr. E. Perry was my<br />

Warden for 10 years, a faithful friend and loyal<br />

servant of the Church. Mr. Bretton was People's<br />

Warden for my first few years and was succeeded by<br />

Col. H.Broke who continued in office up to the time<br />

that I left. Mr. D. Day was Clerk and Sexton for the<br />

whole period and on Trinity Sunday, 1909, was<br />

presented with a silver watch in appreciation of 25<br />

years' service. In 1914 Essex was separated from the<br />

St. Albans diocese, the new diocese of Chelmsford<br />

formed, and the Rev. J. E. Watts-Ditchfield, Vicar of<br />

St. James-the-Less, Bethnal Green,was consecrated as<br />

its first Bishop on St. Matthias' Day. One of my last<br />

recollections as Vicar of <strong>Hatfield</strong> <strong>Heath</strong> is of a visit<br />

from him and a talk in the study about the parish<br />

when he gave me his Blessing for the new work to<br />

which I was going."<br />
