High Country History Group

The High Country History Group met for the final time “in person” in July. At the meeting members
approved the creation of and expenditure to support a legacy website to capture all the research
and information relating to the Group’s activity over twenty-six years. Paul Brooks has done a
magnificent job in drawing everything together. This free to access website was launched on 3
September and now available at High Country History Group.

The absence of information on the new website about Parish Registers of births, marriages and
burials in the High Country History Group area can probably be explained by this missing Journal.
This edition provides an overview of what is now available to view via the Essex Record Office
either online by subscription or in person at the searchroom.
With the closure of the Group and presence of a legacy website our old blogspot is no longer
needed and will be deleted. What follows in this Journal is a collection of items unpublished by the
Group or exclusively on the soon to be deleted blog. There are enough loose ends for another
edition soon.
Firstly, as we go online, we begin with those items useful for genealogists (aka family historians).

The following is taken from ‘Durrant’s Handbook For Essex’ written by Miller Christy (Durrant &
Co., Chelmsford, 1887).
Green’stead-juxta-Ongar.  A. 681; p. 88; Rectory, value £280; 1 m. W. from Ongar.
This parish is remarkable for its unique Church (St Andrew), said to be one of the most ancient in
the world. The walls of the nave are of well-preserved timber, being composed of the trunks of
large oak or chestnut trees, split in two, roughly hewn, and set upright beside one another, their
bottoms being let into a sill, and their tops into a wall-plate. The whole edifice, which consists
merely of nave, chancel, and wooden tower with shingled spire and two bells, one of them dated
1618, measures about 30 ft. in length by 14 ft.  Although it has been several times restored, it is
believed to be the original structure erected as a temporary resting-place for the body of St.
Edmund, on its way from London to Bury St. Edmunds in 1013. It is lit by several modern dormer
windows, in one which is a fragment of ancient stained glass representing what is supposed to be
the crowned head of St. Edmund. The chancel is small, and of brick, with Tudor windows. The S.
porch is new. There is a curious stone pillar-piscina. In the church is preserved a 15th cent. panel,
probably from a rood screen, showing the martyrdom of the king, and very well executed. There
are monuments to the Smyth, Cleeve, and Ord families. The Registers date from 1561. The Hall,
adjoining the church, is a large mansion, with tasteful pleasure grounds and an extensive view.

The following is taken from ‘Durrant’s Handbook For Essex’ written by Miller Christy (Durrant &
Co., Chelmsford, 1887).
Stan’ford Rivers.  A. 4386; P.975; Rectory, value £1077; 2m. S.W. form Ongar.
A scattered parish, named probably form the once stony ford through the Roding, and from its
owners in the 13 th  cent. The church (St. Mary) is chiefly of stone, and consists of nave and
chancel, with a tower and small spire of timber running up through the W. end of the former. It has
no Aisles, and is therefore remarkable for its great length compared with its breadth. The nave and
probably the chancel also, is Norman, though the latter inserted doors and windows, chiefly of the
14 th  cent. (Decor.). The former has one on each side two Norman windows and a 3-light

19

nondescript one. The two doors, from which the Norman work has been removed, now lead to the
rooms which were formerly the porches. The entrance, therefore, is now from the W. The chancel
has on the S. two 14 th  cent. (Decor.) windows, and one on the N., with three small square windows
above and on each side. The E. window is a fine one in the 14 th  cent., new or much restored. The
font is octagonal, of late Norman or E. Eng. Date. Its sides are  carved with pointed arches. There
are brasses to Thos. Grenville  (a child, curious, 1942) Robt. Barrow, Esq. (1503), a man in
armour, and wife (about 1540), and Ann Napper and her six sons, all kneeling (1584), also
inscriptions on the stone to several of the Petres. The Register dates from (1558). Bellhouse, ½m.
S.W., was formerly a seat of a branch of the Petre family. Here for some years dwelt the Rev.
Isaac Taylor and his sister, Jane Taylor, both celebrated writers.

The following is taken from ‘Durrant’s Handbook For Essex’ written by Miller Christy (Durrant &
Co., Chelmsford, 1887).
Staple’ford Tawney. A.1633; P. 222; Rectory, value(with Theydon Mount) £750; 4m. S.E. from
Epping.
This parish takes its distinctive name from the family of Tany, who held it, with many other estates
in Essex, in the 13 th  cent. The church (St. Mary) is small, picturesque, and of ancient origin, though
most of its interesting features have been restored away. It is chiefly of flint, and consists of nave,
S. aisle, and chancel, with timber tower and spire containing two bells, dated 1611 and 1630
respectively  It is evidently of 13 th  cent. (E. Eng.) origin, as there are in the chancel three tall lancet
windows on the E., and one on the S., also a S. door of the same age, but later windows have
been inserted. There are two ancient square niches or aumbries. On the floor is a tombstone 
which once had a double, inscribed fillet, a cross, and a hand holding a scroll, all in brass, date
about 1491(?). Suttons (Sir C. C. Smith, Bart.) is a modern house of stone, overlooking a
picturesque and well-wooded park, through which flows the Roding.

The following is taken from ‘Durrant’s Handbook For Essex’ written by Miller Christy (Durrant &
Co., Chelmsford, 1887)
Theydon mount. A.1500;P. 148; Vicarage, value (with Stapleford Tawney) £750, 3 m,. E from
Theydon Bois, and S.E. from Epping.
Hill Hall, the property, but not now the residence, of the Smijth family, baronets, is a noble
quadrangular building, of large size, very massively built, and in the classic style of architecture,
though part of it dates from 1548.the entrance-hall, dining and drawing-rooms, library, &c., are
large and lofty apartments, hung with an extensive series of old family portraits. That of Sir
Thomas Smijth is ascribed to Titian, and another of Henry VIII. to Holbein. The view from the S.
front is a fine and very extensive one, stretching over the well-wooded park to the hills on the
opposite side of the Roding valley. The mansion was begun by Sir Thomas Smijth, who was born
at Saffron Walden in 1514. He was one of the most eminent statesmen and accomplished
scholars of his day, and held many important offices, including that of the secretary of state under
Edward VI. and Elizabeth. His “De Republica Angloum” is a well-known work. The Church (St.
Michael) was destroyed by lightning and rebuilt in 1600. It is a small building, occupying an
eminence in the corner of the park, and consisting of nave, chancel, and embattled tower, all of
red brick. The windows are chiefly square 2-light ones, but that of the E. end has three lights and
interlacing tracery. Within are some sumptuous monuments to the memory of the former owners of
Hill Hall., including a fine canopied one to the Sir Thomas Smijth already mentioned (1577) and his
wife; another with effigies to Sir William (1626), and several others. In the churchyard is a curious
epitaph to Philip Gloyns, who died in 1806. The Register dates from 1564.

My father, Peter Smith now 87 years old, wanted to throw away an old exercise book containing
graph paper in which he as a teenager plotted designs for rug making on winter evenings in his
Mountnessing home. On the cover were written the following names which he jotted down as he
listened to the wireless as he was working: “Grigg, Wood, Edward, Charlton, Berry, Foulks,
Scallan, Blanchflower, Morgans, Voulet”.
What was the event? Answer on last page.

Ann Brooks gave an interesting talk to over 30 members and visitors last Thursday (27 June 2013)
on the subject of the Essex floods on the night of 31 January 1953.  The freak weather event was
caused by low pressure and wind which had caused the sinking of a ferry off the west coast of
Scotland the previous day. The low-pressure centre was thought to have been tracking eastwards
but instead turned south funnelling the surge along the east coast. Weather forecasters did not
anticipate the scale of the problem, and people went to bed unaware.  Many communities suffered
death and destruction, notably Canvey Island in Essex. Since then, sea defences have been
improved but whether they would be sufficient to prevent another disaster  is questionable. What
has improved since 1953 is the communications and better early warning.

Collected and arranged by William Chapman Waller, M.A., F.S.A.
An extract from the Transactions of the Essex Archaeological Society, ‘new series’ Volume 5
(1895)
Part I: The Hundred of Ongar, and the Half Hundreds of Harlow and Waltham [Extracts cover High
Country Parishes only]
Short and disconnected lists of field-names appear from time to time in various publications, but,
as far as I know, no attempt has hitherto [to 1895] been made to collect and arrange systematically
those which are found to occur over the whole area of any particular county.  A passing reference
made some years ago (by whom and where, I have forgotten,) to “the valuable lists of names
contained in the Tithe Commutation Awards,” stuck, as such phrases will, in my mind, and it
occurred to me that I would someday try to collect those parishes comprised in the Hundred of
Ongar.  My first intention was to make a pilgrimage to each parish and there to inspect its
particular Award.  But further consideration led me to abandon this plan as not only tedious but
impracticable.  Later on, acting in concert with Council of the Society, I approached the Board of
Agriculture, in whose custody the sealed copies of various Awards are deposited.  At first certain
obstacles, which appeared almost insurmountable, stood in the way of my obtaining the facilities
necessary for the execution of the work contemplated.  But at length, thanks to the cordial interest
which the Right Hon. Herbert Gardner, one of our Vice-Presidents, manifested in a project
approved of by our Council, and the courteous kindness of certain permanent officials of the Board
over which he presides, all difficulties were got over, and the first instalment of Essex field-names
now finds its place in the Society’s Transactions.

21

A few words explanatory of the scheme adopted are, perhaps, desirable.  The first proceeding was
to go through the Draft Awards of the forty-one parishes contained in the Hundreds chosen,
copying out all the field-names other than those absolutely common-place – such, for instance, as
Broadfield, Longfield, Tenacres, and a few others, which occur by the score.  The names
excerpted, to which the Tithe Map numerals were added, are in books which will ultimately be
added to the MSS Collections of the Society.  Each name was next re-copied on to a slip, with the
addition of a number corresponding to that assigned to be parish which it was found to occur. 
Duplicates having been eliminated, the slips were arranged alphabetically, in which order they are
now printed.  By way of pendant to this explanation, I must add a word of thanks to my friend, Miss
E M Allen, of Girton College, for the help she very kindly contributed towards the somewhat
tedious process of re-copying and sorting.
It would be out of place to attempt, here and now, to say much as to the names of which the list is
composed.  They exhibit a remarkable variety, the same name in precisely the same form rarely
occurring more than once over whole area under review.  And it must also be added that the
variations, in some few cases, appear to be due to the idiosyncrasies of the original draughtsman
or copyist, or of the person who informed him, rather to essential differences in the names
themselves.  The explanation of sundry inaccuracies is probably to be found in the fact that the
Awards, which were for the most part drawn up about half a century ago, were done in haste, and
many names seem to have been misunderstood, misspelt, and mangled, while others were
insufficiently authenticated. To give an instance or two: - the field which figures as ‘Peerless’
[Loughton] should indubitably appear as ‘Spare Leaze’, while ‘Luscious Mead’ [also Loughton] is
really Lusher’s or Lushen’s mead; the various ‘Readings’ [e.g. Little Hallingbury, Matching],
‘Reddings’ [Stapleford Abbots, Great Hallingbury, Epping], etc., of which ‘redene’ is the earlier
form.
Of all the names not immediately explicable three stand out as occurring more commonly than the
rest: they are Small Gains [e.g. Navestock, Abbess Roding, Bobbingworth, High Ongar, Moreton],
Rainbow Field [e.g. High Laver, Little Laver, Stondon Massey, Harlow, Hatfield Broad Oak], and
Perry Field [e.g. Stanford Rivers, Stapleford Tawney, Fyfield, Magdalen Laver, Theydon Garnon].
Now ‘small’ is a word rarely found as part of a field-name: the comparison is usually expressed by
‘little’ and ‘great’. But in the case of ‘Gains’, the latter affixes occur once and once only, though
‘Gains’ itself never occurs without some qualifying word.  Perry Field may or may not be the
equivalent of the modern Peartree Field [e.g. Theydon Mount, Bobbingworth, Magdalen Laver,
Latton, Great Parndon].  But perige or peru is the Anglo-Saxon for pear-tree, and in one case I
have come on a ‘Piryfield’ in a late 13 th  century charter relating to a parish in which later on two
Perry Fields are found. … Rainbow Field [e.g. Navestock, Norton Mandeville, Abbess Roding,
Beauchamp Roding, Stondon Massey] I hand over to the conjectures of the ingenious, with the
remark that Rainbow, like Perry, also occurs as a surname.
Although many ‘Hop Gardens’ [e.g. Shelley, North Weald, Moreton, High Laver, Epping] remain to
bear witness to the time when each vill drank its own brew, ‘Flex’ [Norton Mandeville] has in three
instances only survived to recall the Statute passed in Henry the Eighth’s time, which rendered
obligatory the cultivation of a certain amount of hemp or flax in each parish.
A momentary glance at an Ordnance Survey Map will serve to shew that the Commutation Awards
by no means include all the placenames of the parish; and many which are nowhere recorded in
print, are yet enshrined in old documents, or, in some instances, still live on the lips of peasant-
folk, preserved through the centuries by oral tradition.  … Comment and criticism will of necessity
by more advantageously applied when, if ever, the lists for the whole county are completed.  [W C
Waller completed and published the work over nine parts from ‘old series’ Volume 5 to 9].

My father jotted down the names of the survivors of the Munich Air Disaster of 6 February 1958.

Twenty-three Manchester United football players (known as the ‘Busby Babes’ after manager Matt Busby), supporters and journalists were killed when their aircraft failed to take off and crashed in appalling weather conditions after refuelling on a homeward trip from a European Cup match in Belgrade, Yugoslavia (now Serbia).

The news bulletin, in the aftermath, confirmed the survivors to be:

Harry Gregg, Ray Wood, Duncan Edwards, who died in hospital 15 days later; Bobby Charlton, who went on to be a member of the 1966 England FIFA World Cup-winning team; Johnny Berry, who was injured and never played again; Bill Foulkes; Albert Scanlon; Jackie Blanchflower, who was injured and never played again; Kenny Morgans; and Dennis Viollet.
