In our regular local community feature on the Acres Way Kennels, based in Castle Point, we are trying to find loving homes for both Leo the Lurcher and Fred the Beagle. We also show a before and after photo of Twiggy the Staff to highlight the good work that is being done nursing neglected dogs back to health at Acres Way (pages 10 & 11).

GARDEN SERVICES, HOME IMPROVEMENT & CONSTRUCTION

We have a Community feature on the Rayleigh Horticultural Society (page 18) – one of the biggest societies in the area with over 1000 members.

The Society has been established for over 100 years and has an active Committee working to provide activities of interest to all types of gardeners.

In an interesting article on the History of Rayleigh (page 22) we feature Rayleigh Castle, otherwise known as Rayleigh Mount, a masonry and timber castle built in the 11th century shortly after the Norman conquest.

KITCHENS

We also have our regular financial column from our financial expert Martin Lamb from Joseph R Lamb Independent Financial Advisors (see centre pages).

Can you help Re-Home a Dog from Acres Way Kennels?

Adopting a Dog

I

f you think you can offer a dog a good home, the first thing you need to do is to go down to the kennels, select a suitable dog you like, take it for a walk and see how you get on. Some people and dogs just don’t get along, so before reserving a dog, the Acres Way staff would need to see if you suit each other. If you have children, or another dog, they recommend that you bring them with you, to make sure that everyone will get on.

weeks in the kennels having continuous treatment for her skin, regular scrub ups including cutting her nails and eating plenty to regain a safe weight. Below is a picture of her on arrival to the kennels and below that picture is a picture of her now in her loving new home.

Once you have visited the dogs, and hopefully found one that matches your lifestyle and expectations, a member of staff will arrange a convenient time for a home check. These are usually carried out within 2 or 3 days of your visit and take about half an hour. Once the home check is complete, you’ll be able to collect your dog. You will need to bring with you some identification showing your current address, and the £130 adoption fee.

Their staff will be on hand if you have any questions, and will be able to guide you through the adoption process. All the staff and dogs at Acres Way look forward to seeing you Twiggy – a great example of the difference Acres Way can make to a dog’s life !

Twiggy was a female staff that was brought into the kennels via the local council. She was truly emaciated, claws almost so long that they curled back round to her pads and a horrendous skin condition. She spent many 10

THE LOCAL BUSINESS GUIDE WORKING FOR THE COMMUNITY

Money Guidance

by Martin Lamb Dip. PFS Certs C11 (MP & ER)

A

recent survey showed that only a third of the population trusted Financial Advisers.

This is disappointing as our incredibly complex financial services market means that the layman has virtually no chance of making the correct decisions without some professional guidance. The point at which you chose to retire and draw your pensions may well be the most important financial decision you make in your life.

Your pension fund is likely to be your second largest asset after your home, and the decisions you make with at retirement may well be irreversible and can affect the rest of your life.

We may moan about the NHS but we should all be thankful that as a result of medical advances and ‘free’ treatment for all, that life expectancy has risen incredibly since the war, so much so that many of us will be retired for more years than we earned a decent living. Just think about that for a second, you may well have started earning ‘proper’ money in your early thirties, be retiring thirty years later, and live into your early nineties……………..

That is scary. Just think what prices were thirty years ago. How much did you pay for your first house? What were you earning then? Inflation may well be higher going forwards than over the last twenty years, so just how will your pension fund cope?

Most of us retiring will accept the first ‘quote’ presented to us by our pension providers. Once this is done it probably can’t be reversed and you could be locked in to a static, uncompetitive annuity. It may not provide any benefit for your spouse or partner in the event of your death, and almost certainly won’t have any element of inflation proofing.

Even if you shop around using annuity comparison sites, many of these do not find the best deal

14

and will they walk you through all of your choices?

Have you heard of Temporary Annuities, Investment Backed Annuities, Income Drawdown or Enhanced Annuities? These products all have features that differ from ‘conventional’ annuities, and if you don’t consider them, you may well be making the wrong choice. Remember this may be the biggest choice you ever make!

Much of the material sent out at the point of retirement is confusing and unclear. Before you accept any pension quote and draw your pension you need to ask yourself; How much Tax Free Cash should I take? Why should I take Tax Free Cash if I don’t need it ? Do my existing pension plans have any valuable guarantees that are not obvious? How much spouse or partner’s pension should I allow for?

Do I buy an inflation linked annuity? What happens to the funds on my or my spouse or partner’s death?

Can I pass my pension fund on to my children?

Annuity rates are at an all time low, should I retire later? How can I get an income but not lock into low annuity rates? I want to keep working and need some cash but not my pension, how can I do this?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions, then you need advice!

At Joseph Lamb’s we have been providing point of retirement advice for over 40 years. We can help you to plan your retirement from a few years out if needed or even help you to retire earlier than you may have expected. Contact us for a free initial consultation and a copy of our retirement guide.

Rayleigh Horticultural Society

T

he Rayleigh Horticultural Society is one of the biggest societies in the area, with over 1000 household members.

The Society has been established for over 100 years and has an active Committee working to provide activities of interest to all types of gardeners. There is something for everyone - from the showman, the allotment holder, the plant enthusiast to those who just like to potter around.

Membership is very reasonably priced at just £5 a year per household. This includes monthly club nights, coach trips throughout the year, plant sales, newsletters and access to a vast range of gardening needs attractively priced at the trade store.

Club nights are held once a month and cover a wide range of topics with something to interest everyone.

The next event will be on the 24th September where the speaker will be Roger Robinson. The topic is to be “Laurel & Hardy.”

The Society has a well stocked, purpose built store supplying members with gardening products at prices that are in most cases (but not in all) below those in Garden Centres. A comprehensive range of products are stocked including most well known brands of composts, peat, bark chippings, sand and gravel. The store also stocks Unwin’s seeds - all at discounted prices - and bulbs, seed potatoes, onion sets etc. In fact, you name it and they probably stock it or can get it for you.

Why not pop along and see what they have to offer and if you like what you see you can join and reap the benefits of membership.

Rayleigh Castle (Rayleigh Mount)

R

ayleigh Castle (also known as Rayleigh Mount) was a masonry and timber castle built in the 11th century shortly after the Norman conquest. All that exists today are the earthwork remains of its large motte-and-bailey.

Rayleigh is one of 48 castles mentioned in the Domesday Survey of 1086 and the only one in Essex. The Survey shows that the castle was built by Swein - the son of Robert FitzWimarc (other spellings are Sweyn, Sweyne, and Suen.) FitzWimarc was a Norman lord and favourite of Edward the Confessor and Swein was one of the wealthiest landowners in post-Conquest Essex.

Most land owners with significant holdings at the time of the Domesday Survey had disjointed, scattered properties however Swein was one of the exceptions and most of his land was within the hundreds of Rochford and Barstable with Rayleigh Castle as the administrative centre.

When Swein died the castle passed to his son Robert de Essex and thento his grandson Henry d’Essex.

Henry was accused of cowardice in battle in 1163

and subject to a trial by combat which he lost. The castle and it’s estates were confiscated to become the property of the king, Henry II. The property was then given by King John to Hubert de Burgh in around 1200 who probably used it as a source of building materials for the castle which he started building in 1230 at Hadleigh.

On the death of Hubert’s son in the latter half of the 13th century, ownership of the castle reverted to the Crown. In 1394 King Richard II gave permission for the townspeople of Rayleigh to use the foundations of the castle as a source of stone. Since the foundations are explicitly mentioned in the document giving permission, it is unlikely that any other masonry structures remained by then.

The site of the castle was used for grazing sheep after it fell into disuse.
