Origins

The existing village of Kelvedon has been a settlement since the early Middle Ages, though it stands near (and partly on) the site of a Roman settlement, probably Canonium. Kelvedon expanded significantly in the Victorian era. The reason was the Norwich - London railway, making it a place to live yet get to work as train was the only fast method of transport. Victorian Kelvedon was set along one street - The High Street. In the 1930s, with the advent of the car the High Street became the A12, the main road through Essex. Ribbon development saw houses sprawl along the road for miles. The village suffered major congestion until the bypass was built in the 1960s. Suburbanization started to take place in the 1980s - a large development called Riverside Park was constructed containing hundreds of homes. For other places with the same name, see Norwich (disambiguation). ... This article is about the capital of England and the United Kingdom. ... The A12 is a major road in England, a trunk road for most of its length, running from London to Great Yarmouth in Norfolk. ... Ribbon development means building houses along the roads radiating from a town. ...

Kelvedon and Feering has most recently been threatened by the A120 proposal to construct a new motorway to the north of the village although there are other plans to shift the road to the opposite end of the village and have the road join the A12 at Kelvedon. This motorway will stretch from the current A12 near Marks Tey to Braintree "cutting travelling time to Stansted by an hour". The Environment Agency has not released information concerning new routes, which has angered some local residents, who oppose the new proposals.


In October 2001, Kelvedon (and surrounding villages) were hit by a serious flood which resulted in millions of pounds of damage being caused to private and public buildings. Amongst private dwellings, 2 businesses were badly affected - The Railway Tavern public house and a local family garage, Deal of Kelvedon. The flood was blamed on the Environment Agency, who it is alledged closed flood gates in the village to prevent the nearby A12 trunk road from flooding. This has never been proved, but is widely believed to have been the cause. No official investigation was ever carried out.


Kelvedon hosts, annually, a free Music Festival.

Kelvedon Hatch: Introduction | British History Online (2648 words)
Kelvedon Hatch is 3 miles south of Chipping Ongar and 4 miles north-west of Brentwood, on the east bank of the Roding.
The ownership of the land in Kelvedon Hatch was from the 16th to the 20th century mainly in the hands of two families, the Wrights of Kelvedon Hall and the Luthers (and their heirs the Fanes).
Although Kelvedon Hatch had resident gentry in the 19th century it is clear that they did not provide the vigorous leadership in parish affairs that might have been expected.
