WELCOME TO FELSTED

Located in north-west Essex and with a population of around 3,000, the Parish of Felsted has at its heart the historic village of Felsted, surrounded by Greens and Hamlets, in a beautiful rural setting.

Felsted retains the underlying charm and attraction of a rural parish, with the community and village at its heart. This is what attracts people to the area and what we as the Parish Council see as our historic duty to protect. Preservation of our heritage is balanced with a duty to ensure that the Parish thrives and meets the future needs of our community.

Winner of RCCE Village of the Year 2015

Christmas Decoration Day: a great success

by | Nov 15, 2022 |

Saturday’s Christmas Decorations day, sponsored by the Parish Council, led by Councillors Roy Ramm and Richard Freeman, and held at the Memorial Hall, was a tremendous success, with double last year’s attendance!

Children wrote over sixty letters to Santa, painted over eighty slices of timber and dozens of pine cones from Felsted trees. They wrapped pounds of reindeer food, made scores of crackers, mini Christmas trees and crafted lovely Christmas cards.  They also managed to eat a fair few chocolate biscuits – provided by the helpers!

But days like this take weeks of planning, shopping for materials and setting up the event.

The team started dressing the Memorial Hall at 10 am.  The doors opened at 1pm and we finally saw the last set of sticky fingers leave at about 4:50pm.  Then the big clear-up kicks off. We have to leave the hall as we found it: spotless!

So by around 6:30 we turned out the lights.

On behalf of the Parish Council, Richard Freeman and Roy Ramm would like to thank all involved. In particular we thank Hope and Ann Alexander (Elf and mum), Janet Johnson (Crafting Queen extraordinaire) Carol Freeman, Janet Ramm, Dawn, Suzie, Gill and Ola all for doing their bit!  A special thanks also to Martin from Falcon Tree Services who produced beautiful thin slices of Felsted timber.”

Good quality existing places
At the meeting on the 22nd October, examples of good quality existing places were requested.
The first port of call for this would be the Uttlesford Building for a Healthy Life document, which contains some good design in Uttlesford and can be found here:
Further to this, here are some other schemes which have some good design features:
