Bishop Burton Village Hall on One Saturday Evening a Month

[2]

Two Hundred And Seventy Seventh Edition

As you will see from our front cover we are once again entering our

film season with one film a month for the next three months. You

will find all the details further on in this newsletter. Such an easy

way to see a good film right here in the heart of the village. Our

Village Hall Committee work hard on our behalf as we also have a

live show together with supper in November – all not to be missed.

I would like to take this opportunity of thanking those who have very

kindly sent us donations to help keep us going. We get a grant from

the Parish Council which is our mainstay but we do need to top it up

to cover our expenses which we try to keep as low as possible.

May we please have your articles for the November edition before

the 23rd

October. Thank you.

HEDGES IN THE VILLAGE

It has been noticed that the recent weather has resulted in many

hedges becoming overgrown. Unfortunately there are some next to

footpaths and close to roads where this growth restricts the ability of

pedestrians, especially those with pushchairs/buggies/wheelchairs etc

to use the pavements and restricts the ability of pedestrians and

motorists to see around corners before crossing. If you own one of

these hedges the Parish Council respectfully request that you ensure

that your hedge is kept trimmed such that all pavement users are able

to access the pavements and all road users have clear visibility

around corners. Many thanks for your co-operation in this matter.

HELEN HURST

We have just heard the sad news of Helen's death and send our

sincere condolences to her family.

Helen and Dennis became involved in all village activities when he

was made deputy to Peter Buckler and plans were made to found a

college of agriculture in Bishop Burton, way back in 1953. They

moved into the Principal's house when Dennis became Principal in

1964.

Helen supported her husband wonderfully as he developed the

embryo college into a larger, highly regarded establishment. She also

joined in and helped with village functions, despite having four

young children to care for at home.

Dennis and Helen moved away from the college to Cherry Burton

where Dennis suddenly and unexpectedly died in 1985. The family

had all 'flown the nest' so Helen downsized in Cherry Burton.

Her heart had always been in Bishop Burton and we were delighted

when she was able to move back here in the late 1990's. After a few

happy years her general health started to deteriorate and she was

diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. Helen bravely fought this

debilitating illness and after many spells in care homes (but always

returning home,) she eventually had to stay in a nursing home full

time.

We all miss her and share fond memories of her.

Joan Pillmoor

A GRATEFUL GRANNY

I had a telephone call the other day from Anne Overfield. She had

had her grandchildren staying with her so off they went to discover

[5]

the new playground. They had a wonderful time exploring and

playing there and it was a job to get them home again!

So, Anne is very grateful for all the time and effort that went into

making the playground a reality and wishes to thank all those

involved who helped to make her visiting grandchildren have so

much fun.

Saturday 12th September - Dark Horse

Louise Osmond's documentary is the inspirational true story of a

group of friends from a working men's club who take on the elite

'sport of kings' and breed themselves a racehorse

[8]

“…. its sheer warmth and likability, this good-natured documentary

won my heart – a real-life The Full Monty or Billy Elliot or Pride.

In 2000, Jan Vokes was a barmaid and part-time Asda cleaner in the

Welsh village of Cefn Fforest, a place depressed both economically

and emotionally. Jan conceived the idea of organising a syndicate to

breed a racehorse: drinkers in the bar would get a share in return

for a weekly £10 sub. When Jan and her fellow owners cheerfully

rocked up at posh racing meets, toffee-nosed types would mock. But

their horse, Dream Alliance…..” The Guardian.

Saturday 10th October - Testament Of Youth This is the screen play of Vera Brittain’s bestselling memoir of love,

loss and desolation in the first world war.

As Vera Brittain, Alicia Vikander has beauty and presence: her Vera

is a brilliant young woman who, in 1914, is just going up to read

English at Somerville College, Oxford, although women were still

not permitted to take a university degree. Vera’s story is governed by

the unbearable paradox of sacrifice. For too long, women had been

expected to sacrifice their lives and identities to men. But with the

outbreak of war, men were rushing to sacrifice themselves on the

altar of combat, and proto-feminist Vera has the uncomfortable

feeling that to compete with men in terms of social usefulness at this

key moment, she too must sacrifice herself: abandon her hard-won

Oxford place and take up a nursing post either in England or France.

And so the agony of political identity goes on….

Director: James Kent

Writers:Vera Brittain (autobiography), Juliette Towhidi(screenplay)

Stars: Alicia Vikander, Kit Harington, Taron Egerton

Saturday 21st November - The Imitation Game

In 1939, newly created British intelligence agency MI6 recruits

Cambridge mathematics alumnus Alan Turing (Benedict

[9]

Cumberbatch) to crack Nazi codes, including Enigma -- which

cryptanalysts had thought unbreakable. Turing's team, including Joan

Clarke (Keira Knightley), analyse Enigma messages while he builds

a machine to decipher them. Turing and team finally succeed and

become heroes, but in 1952, the quiet genius encounters disgrace

when authorities reveal he is gay and send him to prison.

Director: Morten Tyldum

Writers: Graham Moore, Andrew Hodges (book)

Stars: Benedict Cumberbatch, Keira Knightley, Matthew Goode |

lights and curtains.

DRAINS IN THE VILLAGE

You may have noticed ERYC in the Village recently digging up

verges etc. and wondered what they were doing. They are looking to

rectify a number of problems with the drains, hopefully once the

work is complete the flooding issues we have along Bryan Mere and

Dalegate will be a thing of the past. They have already been working

outside 11 Bryan Mere and significantly improved the situation

there, and have increased the depth of the ditch along Dalegate.

They have still to carry out the work at the junction of Dalegate and

the road up to Cold Harbour Farm. Hopefully this combination will

stop water coming down Dalegate into the village, and the rain that

does fall in the village will be taken away by the new drainage

configuration. The latter part certainly seemed to work in last week

heavy rain – so here’s hoping.

Bishop Burton Parish Council

RATHLIN – CRAWBERRY HILL – OIL EXPLORATION

You should all have received a flyer from Rathlin with the news that

the decision has been taken NOT to carry out further exploratory

work on the Crawberry Hill site. The well site is to be abandoned

and the site restored. The works will be carried out in line with the

timescale laid out in the planning permission.

A liaison meeting is planned for September when further details will

become available.

Margaret Hebb – Liaison Committee Member

WIND FARM APPEAL

The Planning Inspector has dismissed the following appeal:

[11]

Cold Harbour Farm, Bishop Burton, Beverley, HU17 8QA, erection

of single turbine. (Ref APP/E2001/W/14/30001772).

PLAYGROUND

Since the Playground opened it has been great to see young children

playing whilst the adults get a well-earned rest supervising!

Unfortunately recently it has been noticed that older children have

begun to congregate in the playground and have been on the

equipment. The Parish Council respectfully reminds all parents that

the equipment and the Playground is specifically designed for those 8

years and under and requests that they remind their children of this

fact and encourage them to play in more suitable locations such as on

the village green

Many thanks for your understanding and co-operation in this matter.

Bishop Burton Parish Council

NEWS FROM ALL SAINTS CHURCH

We propose to establish a “Friends of All Saints Church” Group

putting on events and activities to bring the community together and

to raise funds to support the fabric of the church building.

Our lovely church has played an important part in the lives of many

villagers and their families over generations from births,

christenings, weddings and funerals. Sadly if we do not use the

church as an integral part of village life and the wider community, it

will inevitably fall into disrepair, and its closure will be

inevitable. We believe there is scope to expand its use imaginatively

as a community asset for the benefit of the whole village.

We are planning a relaxed and informal meeting in the autumn over

cheese and wine to share ideas on how to renew the part our historic

and beautiful church building can play in the life of our village.

[12]

Further information and date/venue for this gathering will be popping

through your letterbox shortly! So do look out for it, and hope to see

you there.

Enjoy the last of the Summer!

CHURCH MONTHLY

John Dunning recently lent me four copies of The Church Monthly

dating back to the turn of the century – 1900 not 2000. Each bound

volume spans a year and comprises articles that are published

nationally together with snippets from parish magazines from a

particular area. John’s copies contain items from the East Riding

parishes that formed the Parish Magazine Union. It started in 1878

and our parish joined in 1896 when Rev W A Pearman was vicar.

The Church Monthly section contains illustrated articles of social

commentary, theology, history and curiosities – general and church,

worthy short stories, songs and hymns, puzzles and domestic advice.

[13]

A page opened at random reveals: a short account of Church

Musicians, Missionary Gleanings, Homely Cookery (recipes),

Gardening notes, A hint to Sons and Daughters (write to your father

and mother) and a feature on the status and duties of church wardens

written by a barrister. The parish magazine items are an even more

eclectic mix. Again opening a volume at random reveals cricket

match results, parish accounts, services during lent at Burton Agnes,

interments in Walkington – including the startling observation that in

1900 corpses from the East Riding Lunatic Asylum (located at

Broadgates) absorbed more than sixteen times as much room as those

from the parish! The original includes the exclamation mark!

The entries in the Parish Magazine section for Bishop Burton contain

several items of interest. There are regular mentions of contributions

to a fund that paid for a District Nurse who visited the village from

time to time. There are also several references to the construction of

the cross in memory of Queen Victoria who died in 1901. The most

rewarding items are a series of letters to Rev Pearman from John

Dunning – our John’s uncle – who writes of his experiences in the

2nd

Boer War that lasted from 1899 to 1902 and took place in South

Africa. His letters are full of insight and are very well written.

I am in the process of creating digital copies of the parts of the

Church Monthly volumes that refer to Bishop Burton. I will post

these on the village web site when done (probably late September)

but will also create some mini-features which I will include in future

editions of the Bishop Burton News (subject to the editor’s approval,

of course!). The volumes that John lent me are for 1899, 1901, 1902

and 1903. If you happen to have volumes for other years, please let

me know.

BISHOP BURTON COUNTRY FRIENDS

Our 2014-15 year has been a great success with our last two events

being well supported by the village and friends. The French evening

“Allo Allo” was enjoyed by all who attended and raised £280,

enough, along with the money raised by the Christmas meal to pay

for the coach for the annual outing with no extra cost for members.

The outing to Helmsley and Nunnington Hall took place on Tuesday

14th

July. The weather was mostly cloudy but dry and perfect for

sightseeing! It was a tranquil and relaxing day, rounded off with a

traditional Fish and Chip supper at Stuarts of Driffield.

The 2015-16 year is nearly upon us, it starts on:-

Monday 14th

September at 7.30pm in the Village Hall, when John

Bailey will describe his experience as a volunteer on the North

Yorkshire Moors Railway. Following this we have:

12th

October “Pets and Therapy” – Jill Shilaker and her dog

9th

November “Mercy Ship” – Dr Chris Blackburn will tell us about

the incredible work of the floating hospital that delivers lifesaving

medical care to some of the world’s poorest people.

14th

December -“Antarctica, South Georgia and the Falklands in

Shackleton’s footsteps” – Slide show and stories from the end of the

earth.

11th

Jan – Festive Meal.

New members are always welcome (£8.50 for the year), or turn up at

the meetings that you fancy for a small charge.

NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH

What Makes Your Home Attractive To Burglars?

A high front boundary

Low side and rear boundaries

Accessible wheelie bins

No visible intruder alarms

No security lighting

Valuables on display

Open or unsecured windows

Unsecured garage or shed door

Unlocked back or side gate

Paved drive or driveway

TOP TEN TIPS FOR SECURING YOUR HOME

Do not leave keys or ID documents within easy reach of

doors, letterboxes, windows.

Close and lock all doors and windows. If you have multi-

locking door handles, lift the handle, lock with key and

remove it.

LIFT - LOCK - REMOVE! Put the key in a safe place out of

sight in case of fire.

Lock garages and sheds so garden tools and ladders cannot be

used to break into your home.

Keep side gates locked and bins stored behind them.

[16]

Use timer switches linked to lights and a radio so it appears

that someone is at home

Invest in a safe for valuables and sentimental items and

securely fix it to a solid surface

Install a visible intruder alarm system. Burglars don't want to

be seen or heard.

Install low level "dusk to dawn" lighting to increase visibility

and deter burglars

Keep side and rear boundaries high to restrict access and

front boundaries low to remove hiding places.

Photograph and mark valuables with your post code and house

number then register items with serial numbers at immobilise.com

You can register your property on the secure property register

immobilise.com. It is easy to do and recommended by the Police

RECYCLE YOUR GLASS AND HELP RAISE FUNDS FOR

THE VILLAGE HALL.

I am conscious that a lot of new people have moved into the village

recently – welcome to you all. You may have noticed that there is a

bottle bank in the Altisidora Car Park and wondered why it is there

given that you can put glass in your blue bin. It is there as the glass

deposited in the bottle bank helps raise funds for the village hall. So

if you are able it would be appreciated if you could put your glass

into the bottle bank in the Altisidora car park.

[17]

Last year the efforts of the villagers raised over £100 for the Village

Hall. This helps to keep the charges for the village hall low and the

quality high. So a BIG THANK YOU to all those who use the Bottle

Bank in the Altisidora car park.

Also it would be great to see you at events in the Village Hall. The

Autumn season of films is coming up as is the first of the live Acts -

Maziaka on November. Chris has described these elsewhere in the

newsletter so I’ll say no more. As part of this you will also be

contributing to the bottle bank as naturally that’s where all the

empties go.

Be assured the bottle bank takes all glass colours – irrespective of

what the actual container may say. If you find it is getting full please

give me a call and I will arrange for it to be emptied.

e) Dalegate – 1. jetting out of drains- ERYC believe that the “drains” in the village

need review to ensure fit for purpose, and understand what drains into what. ERYC counselled against just using the pit as believed it will continue to block up due to position and debris from road.

05.800 Lambing Sunday – Jeanette Dawson (principal Bishop Burton College) joined the meeting. It was noted that during Lambing Sunday this year there had been chaos in the village with cars being parked down all the roads, on the green and even 18 up Low Balk Lane. It was unacceptable as it made it impossible for any emergency vehicle to get through and for any farm traffic. It was questioned whether there was adequate parking at the college and how could a re-occurrence be prevented in 2016. It was believed that one of the reasons was that the college car parks were full. Cllr Wray had visited the entrance in the village and seen a car park full sign and seen the security personal directing them away from the entrance but not directly them to another car park. On discussion with the security personnel he indicated that the car parks were full. Mrs Dawson commented that she would look into this as the main college car park (entrance on York road out of the village) was nowhere near full and could have taken many more cars. The village entrance is only for disabled parking and thus others will be turned away, there should however not of been a car park full sign and the security personnel should of been directing them to the main car park. Indeed there was a park and ride and this was not fully utilised either. It was requested that in future the police be asked to cone the village off for local use only. Resolved: Mrs Dawson to provide date for next year’s event; Clerk to inform police and ask that they cone off the village for village use only; Mrs Dawson to ensure that there are adequate signs in the village directing visitors to the main entrance; Mrs Dawson to ensure adequate training of staff to direct any overflow traffic to the correct car parks and not into the village.

05.801 April ASBO report –It was noted that Bishop had two ASBO’s in April – the same as Leconfield and Leven. It is not possible to get these broken down between the college and the village. Mrs Dawson commented that she is not aware of any at the college but she is not routinely informed. No-one was aware of anyone with ASBO’S. Resolved: matter is noted.

05.802 Councillor training – The ERNLLCA training programme had been circulated. Resolved: No training required at present.

05.803 Playground

a) update on progress – The playground installation is due to start w/c 25 May. The opening is currently scheduled for the 13th June.

b) risk assessments – The risk assessment is due to be completed by David Jolliffe once the playground has been completed.

c) weekly inspections – David Jolliffe will complete the weekly inspections when available. Resolved: Cllr Ellerington will be responsible for standing in for David Jolliffe when he is not available

[21]

or for finding a replacement. The completed inspection documents need to be filled with the clerk.

05.804 Insurance renewal – The quotes of Aon (£2,295.04)and Zurich(£1463.84 -1 yr; £1,332.03 – 3 yr), previously circulated, were compared. It was unanimously Resolved to take up Zurich’s Insurance on the three year option.

05.805 Planning ERYC have approved the following applications: none

Applications received: - none It has been brought to the attention of the Parish Council that the building work on a house located in a narrow cul-de-sac has been causing significant inconvenience to other residents and users of the road. This has been caused by inconsiderate parking and use of the road by the builders/suppliers etc. Resolved: to consider applying conditions to future planning applications where access is difficult and may significantly inconvenience other residents.

05.806 Any projects for East Riding Voluntary Action Services? – No 05.807 Matters around the village:

a) Railings – cold harbour view/Mere. ERYC have painted the railings around Cold Harbour view. It has been noted that some of the posts/railings are unsafe. Resolved: Clerk to contact ERYC to report. In respect of the Mere Village Taskforce are reviewing how these can be painted given the proximity of the A 1079 – response awaited.

Two recipes by a Dorothy Stuart – a certificated teacher of cookery –

found in Church Monthly dated 1901.

VI Boiled eels

Take four eels, put them in a stewpan with sufficient water to cover

them, add a small bunch of parsley. Simmer for half an hour or

thereabouts. Serve them with a little parsley and melted butter.

XII Toast and water

Take a slice of stale bread and toast it nicely on both sides. Pour over

in a jug a quart [two pints] of boiling water, cover it closely and let it
