The Hundred Parishes
The Hundred Parishes is an area of South East England with no formal recognition or status. It encompasses around 450 square miles (1,100 square kilometres) of northwest Essex, northeast Hertfordshire and southern Cambridgeshire. The area comprises just over 100 administrative parishes, hence its name. It contains over 6,000 listed buildings and many conservation areas,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.uttlesford.gov.uk/caa )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.braintree.gov.uk/info/200581/conservation_areas_and_listed_buildings/205/do_i_live_in_a_conservation_area )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.scambs.gov.uk/content/conservation-area-appraisals )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.eastherts.gov.uk/index.jsp?articleid=15427 )〕 village greens, ancient hedgerows and other protected features. The historical pattern of small rural settlements in close proximity to one another remains largely intact and has generated an extensive network of public rights of way that offer fine views over the gently-undulating countryside. It is an area that is rich in photogenic villages, of which just a few are shown here.
== Origins ==
The idea of recognising the area for its special heritage characteristics was originally conceived by local historian and author David Heathcote.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.littleburyparishcouncil.org.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=259&Itemid=223 )〕 A steering group of local historians, conservationists and a local authority representative, spearheaded by the Essex branch of the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE), progressed the idea and defined a boundary.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cpressex.org.uk/ACTION%20ESSEX%20SPRING%202011%20FOR%20WEB.pdf )〕 The name arose in response to the fact that the defined area covered just over 100 administrative parishes. The initiative steadily gained support and the Hundred Parishes name was approved in 2012 at a constitutional conference to which all local authorities and many other local organisations were invited. The conference was attended by delegates from more than 30 authorities and organisations and The Hundred Parishes Society was established as a company limited by guarantee immediately afterwards.〔Company 8124462, limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.walksaroundstortford.org.uk/?p=3633 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://hormead.org.uk/links.php )〕 After a period of gathering information, fundraising and building a website, the Society was awarded charitable status in July 2014 and immediately set about promoting the concept to a wider audience.
