WALKING IN ESSEX | STANSTED MOUNTFITCHET TO NEWPORT
Through the lovely countryside around (misnamed) Ugley Green and Quendon and Rickling Green, with their thatched cottages and pubs, this is a great cross-country route between two large villages connected by regular trains. It's particularly glorious in spring or autumn, passing six woods with carpets of flowers or colourful foliage in season.
Chapel of St Helen (also St Helen’s Chapel) is an ancient religious building in Wicken Bonhunt, north-west Essex. It dates from around the 11th century and is believed to be one of the oldest surviving buildings in the east of England. It has also been described as 10th century.
The Grade II listed, thatched chapel is built from flint and pebble and contains two 12th-century windows on the south and west walls. It was extensively restored in the 13th century and again in the 20th.
It is 37.5 feet (11 m) long and less than 15 feet (5 m) across at its widest point, with the nave being considerably narrower.
Surviving records of the chapel’s history list the names of three of its priests, including Miles in 1248. In 1340, there is a record that land was given to the nearby Hospital of St Mary and St Leonard in Newport to pay for a priest to hold a daily service at the chapel. The chapel was dissolved in 1543 and left vacant.
History has not always been kind to the chapel. The RCHM's 1916 survey, An Inventory of the Historical Monuments in Essex, records it as desecrated and in use as a stable, although it does describe its condition as fairly good.
Extensive restoration took place around 1918, presided over by the then owner of Bonhunt Farm, and architectural features were carefully preserved. By the 1930s, it was once again being used as a shed.
A major middle Saxon settlement found near the chapel in 1967 was excavated in the early 1970s, during construction of the M11. It showed signs of prehistoric (described as presumed late Bronze Age in a British Museum report), as well as Norman, activity and included a burial ground around Chapel of St Helen containing over 200 human remains. The Saxon settlement is considered to be associated with the chapel.
The chapel is now maintained, and is part of the Diocese of Chelmsford. An annual service is held at the chapel, led by a team of volunteers from Wicken Bonhunt. Although the chapel is only usually open for the annual service, the exterior can be seen from the roadside and a public footpath passes nearby.
Newport is mentioned in the Domesday Book, but probably originated around 900 AD as a royal township. It flourished until it's market moved to Saffron Walden in 1141, then became a mainly agricultural village, with trades including leather and woolcombing. There were two religious guilds in Newport, and a guildhall stood on the site of the present Church House. After the dissolution of the guilds in 1540 it was used as the first premises of Newport Free Grammar School until it's demolition in 1838.
Charles II came here on his way to Newmarket and his mistress Nell Gwynn may have lived at Crown House. The main road was improved as a turnpike in 1744 and the railway in 1845 brought new businesses, including a gas works and maltings. Housing expansion in the 20th century has helped Newport retain many shops, pubs, businesses and thriving village organisations.
