THE NEWSLETTER FROM HAMPTON LUCY, CHARLECOTE AND LOXLEY PARISHES September 2010 Issue 122

Architects visit Hampton Lucy Church The West Midlands Architects’ Conservation

Group visited St Peter’s Church on 27 July to view

the latest stage of the restoration programme. The

group included architects with a particular interest

in this type of work, including Andrew Brooks,

who set up the current restoration phases, and Nick

Reading, secretary of WMACG and English

Heritage Consulting Architect for the project.

Graham Barclay welcomed all the visitors and

refreshments were provided. They then split into

groups and were escorted up the scaffolding by

Stephen Oliver, the Church Architect, to view the

work in progress. Stuart Gartshore and his fellow

stone-masons from Croft Building & Conservation

Ltd demonstrated their highly skilled work which

includes the preparation and placement of

beautifully carved stonework, including gargoyles

and finials to the original designs of Sir George

Gilbert Scott. Nick Reading gave a short history of

the church and the Victorian architects, Rickman

and Hutchinson, who achieved national acclaim for their work on 19th century church buildings. Hutchinson's grave is in the

churchyard with a memorial tablet in the vestry. The visitors also explored the complex under-croft. Everyone agreed that it

was an interesting and informative afternoon and WMACG will be making a donation to the church restoration fund. English

Heritage, The National Churches Trust, The Council for the Care of Churches and The Garfield Weston Foundation have all

contributed generously, plus many fund-raising events organised within the parish. Thanks to good management and fine

weather the work is on schedule and should be completed by the end of October. PJR

Loxley School End of Term Report Loxley School enjoyed a hectic end to the year. It began with

Sports Day, planned by the Year Six pupils, with many parents

and friends enjoying the sunshine and cheering on the children.

Later in the week the Friends of Loxley School hosted a

Leavers’ Disco and Barbeque, a new school event; fun for the

children and a social evening for parents, staff and invited guests

who had helped the Friends committee during the year. I am

sure this will now be an annual event! On the last day of term a

very special service took place at Loxley Church when we

joined Year Six to celebrate their departure from Primary

School. The leavers shared memories of their time at the school

and fellow pupils read out very personal messages of good luck

to their friends. The whole school then performed the story of

Noah's Ark, as chosen by the Year Six pupils. It was a service

full of joy and laughter, plus a few tears! Those that were

leaving then enjoyed a limousine trip into Stratford. We wish

them all “Good Luck”. HCC

Sue Maindonald, licensee of The Boar’s Head, Hampton

Lucy, was delighted to receive the CAMRA award for The

2010 Warwickshire Pub of the Year at a presentation party

in Hampton Lucy on the evening of 29 July. The title is

awarded by CAMRA following ‘anonymous customer’

visits during normal working hours and is a fine

achievement and prestigious success for Sue and her staff.

Congratulations to her and to all of her team, and we wish

them further success in the Regional rounds. AJW

What does it mean to be a Christian? - An Opportunity for Discussion

Despite some predictions about religion dying out, it still seems to be very important to many people in this 21st century. Yet

there are differing views within, as well as between, different religions and it isn’t always easy to know how or where to find

out more. Starting in October we are going to set up some opportunities for people to think about how being a Christian

affects people’s lives. We shall follow the Christian Nurture part of a course called ‘Emmaus’. There will be 6 sessions in

October and November and the course will resume in February for some more sessions. They will all be on Tuesday

evenings, starting on 5 October, but we hope to have a get-together of all who are interested during the week before. It will

take place at a suitable location within our group of six parishes. We plan to start at 7.30 pm with light refreshments. If you

are at all interested and want to know more please contact Rev’d David Jessett (01926 624238, rectory@barford.org.uk) or

Rev’d Cathy Davies (01926 624139, Revcathydavies@aol.com) Rev’d DJ

Cathedral News Coventry Cathedral is one of the world's oldest religious-based centres for reconciliation. Following the destruction of the

Cathedral in 1940, a commitment was made not to seek revenge, but forgiveness and reconciliation with those responsible.

The vision was to “build a kinder, more Christ-like world.” One of the ways the cathedral tried to work towards this was by

establishing the Community of the Cross of Nails which today is an international network of over 150 organisations in 60

countries committed to working towards peace and reconciliation. This work covers some of the world's most difficult and

long-standing areas of conflict. The Cathedral’s work of reconciliation continues to grow. Canon David Porter, the Director

for Reconciliation Ministry, recently outlined new developments including establishing Coventry Cathedral as a place of

Pilgrimage, using one of the Coventry Diocese buildings, St Michael’s House, to set up a Centre for Leadership and

Development for those working in the field of reconciliation, and to raise awareness of the Community of the Cross of Nails.

Another new dimension will be the creation of a network of International Cross of Nails Schools. There are only five

schools in the world at the moment that have this status. Each one has a connection with Coventry Cathedral and their local

church. And at the heart of their ethos is the Coventry vision. Rev’d CD and AB

whole geography of the land was changed.” As I write, 1,600

people have lost their lives and 14 million people have been

affected. “…..We have nothing to eat. We have left our livestock.

Villagers could only save their families. After we have saved our

children, we sit here on the road. We have been sitting here for the

last two days.” And they wait for aid. The image is strikingly

similar to one in the Bible. That image is in the story of the Good

Samaritan who stops to help someone of a different nationality, a

total stranger, who is in dire circumstances on the side of the road.

Jesus told the story in response to a question from someone who

knew they should love their neighbour but didn’t know who their

neighbour was. The reply points to our ‘neighbour’ meaning much

more than just the person next door. Often it is the last person we’d

expect and especially those who are in dire straits. The situation in

Pakistan will need our love as neighbours; prayers, generosity, and

practical love on a vast scale for some time to come.

With love and blessings,

Dear Friends,

Early in August, we were staying in Brecon with the family. I was

clearing up in the kitchen with my mother-in-law and our

thoughts drifted back to the news reports from Pakistan the night

before. I just hadn’t been able to take in the images. The scale of

the flooding and human suffering was mind-boggling. My mother

-in-law felt the same and, as she tried to make sense of it,

memories of flooding in Brecon returned. Heavy rain runs off the

Brecon Beacons and pours into the River Usk. Some years the

rain is so heavy that the river bursts its banks and inundates part

of the town. One year stood out in particular and has become

family folklore. Water reached as far as the ground floor ceilings

and, when it subsided, our family helped to clear up the contents

of a friend’s silt-filled house. That was bad enough, but those

floods were microscopic in comparison to the ones in Pakistan.

What on earth can it be like for the people there? The mountains

in the north of Pakistan are 7-8,000 feet high. Rainwater

“thundered down them...washing away everything on the valley

floors,” as one news reporter put it, “..and in the process, the

email antiques.roadshow@bbc.co.uk or you can check the

BBC website. Admission will be free. There will also be free

entry to The Park for the Heritage Open Day on Saturday, 11

shy and are more likely to be seen close to the main areas of

the Park. Look out for the dates of the Deer Park Safaris in

October (charges apply). The long-awaited repairs to the

gatehouse are due to start on 20 September, and it is hoped

that small groups will be allowed onto the gatehouse roof

during this time, a unique opportunity to get a different view

of the park and the surrounding countryside. Sunday, 19

September, marks another visit of the falcons from JRCS

Falconry. There will be a ‘Walk with the Gardener’ at 2pm

Hampton Lucy and Charlecote WI Our July meeting turned out to be truly

inspirational! James Butler’s talk on his

sculptures was magnificent and during the evening he

extended an invitation to everyone to visit his gallery in

Radway. Many of us took up the offer and were enthralled

by his beautiful and skilful work (and, when we win the

lottery….!) There was no meeting in August but on

Wednesday, 1 September, at 7.30pm we shall meet in

Hampton Lucy when the speaker will be Maggie Millings

with a talk entitled “Tales from the Dressing Room”. The

‘Quilt for Valour’, hand-made by our group, is complete

and resplendent in red, cream and blue. It is now with the

quilter and awaiting despatch to wounded servicemen in

hospital in this country. MJW

Shipston Home Nursing Shipston Home Nursing supports all of the villages surrounding Shipston, Wellesbourne and Kineton. Since

the charity started thirteen years ago we have nursed between thirty and forty people a year, from as young as

17 to 90 years of age. There are eleven members of the Board of Trustees. Janet Oakey, the Nurse Manager,

has a wonderful team of dedicated nurses who are highly trained in palliative care and do a remarkable job.

Fund-raising continues throughout the year with all manner of events from country car-boot sales, plant sales, gift fairs, and

sponsored walks, runs and bike rides, to discos, operas, balls and much more. The events are designed to encourage as many

local people as possible to participate and we always welcome new ideas. The charity needs to raise £150,000 per annum and

Shipston Home Nursing is fortunate to receive tremendous support from the local community, for which we are enormously

grateful. In addition to the events that we run ourselves, many local groups and individuals arrange their own events and

generously pass the proceeds on to Shipston Home Nursing. “Thank you” to everyone for your continuing help. RM

The Pageant - 2010 The Story of Christ’s Nativity, presented in mime and music,

will be performed by the parishioners of our six parishes at St

Peter’s Church, Barford, this Christmas. The pageant,

involving over a hundred adults and a smaller group of

children, has been performed every five years since the early

1950s and has become a local tradition. If you are interested

in taking an active part in this production, be it acting, singing

or backstage, you are invited to a meeting at Barford church

on Sunday, 3 October, at 11:00am. This will just be a short

meeting to gather information on the numbers of people

available. Details from Michael Ashton on 01926 624027. MA

Rogue Traders ! Summer is a particularly busy time for rogue traders and Trading Standards, together with the police, have been cracking

down with special intelligence-led operations. Rogue traders use all types of tricks and intimidation to get householders to

pay high prices for poor workmanship or, in some cases, no work at all. Here are some of their tricks:

Pretending to be from the local council and offering to tarmac your driveway using materials that are "left over".

Claiming to be also working on a neighbour's property in order to give you a false sense of security. Inventing

problems which don't exist in hard-to-see places such as the roof. Using false names, documents and addresses with

untraceable mobile phone numbers. Offering to start work immediately to prevent you from changing your mind.

Never agree to work being done by cold callers who knock on your door, and don’t be rushed into making a decision. You

are legally entitled to take time to consider, so always seek recommendations from trustworthy local traders. To report a

suspected rogue trader, contact Consumer Direct on 08454 040506. WTSS

Free Electric Blanket Safety Tests Warwickshire Trading Standards Service will provide

FREE electric blanket safety tests between 4 and 8 October

cause a number of fires each year, which can result in injury

or death. Don’t miss this opportunity. Call Trading

The Loxley Strawberry Fayre

Being blessed with a sunny summer day on 10 July, Loxley

held a very successful Strawberry Fayre. Once again the

gardens of Loxley Hall made a beautiful setting, thanks to

the hospitality of Peter Gregory-Hood. People from near

and far flooded in and enjoyed the stalls and entertainment,

as well as a delicious tea provided by the village ladies who

had baked cakes, prepared sandwiches and hulled 75lbs

strawberries for over 300 people! The villagers are

delighted to have raised almost £2,500 for church funds. LL

Hampton Lucy Parish Council At the Parish Council meeting on June 23 the major subjects

discussed were aircraft noise over the village, the proposed

purchase of a gritting bin for the pavement on Snitterfield Street

and the condition and maintenance of the equipment in the

playing field. Action was deferred until the next meeting when

further information should be available. The chairman referred to

a County Council requirement for a social housing needs survey.

It was agreed that the views of residents should be sought. The

next meeting will be on Wednesday, 8 September, at 7.30pm in

the village hall when all residents are invited to attend. A copy of

the Parish Council minutes, sent by e-mail, can be requested by
