Happy New Year To all our readers

Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is He who has been born

King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and

have come to worship Him.” Matthew 2 1-2

Editorial

After Christmas I was always made to write thank you letters. I hated it as I never knew what to say although, “Thank you for my nice present. I had a lovely Christmas” seemed to cover most eventualities. If I was in an inventive mood I could insert “book” or “jumper” depending on whether I could remember who sent what. I could say what my favourite present was but that sounded a bit off when all they sent me was a half-crown postal order. If you do not know what a postal order is or a half-crown well that dates both of us. If they sent money then there was some expectation that I had to spend it on something useful or even better save it. Which sometimes I did.

In this month’s magazine we have some thoughts about the future and plans for the year ahead. We have so much to be grateful for even if we struggle to express it.

Happy New Year one and all. Postal orders accepted.

Letter from Aston Sandford

On Sunday 4th February 2018 at 6:30pm Aston Sandford will once more host the Wychert Vale Benefice evensong Candlemas Service. Every surface will be covered with candles – well over 200 are usually lit.

As is fairly well known the festival of Candlemas (which is also known as the Feast of the Presentation of Our Lord Jesus and the Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary) commemorates the presentation of Jesus at the Temple. It is one of the oldest Christian festivals, known to date back to the 4th century. The festival falls on the 40th day of the Christmas and Epiphany period, that is to say 2nd February, so our service will be close to the proper day. The name Candlemas (i.e. Candle Mass) is said to refer to the practice of the blessing of candles by the priest during the service for use during the year in church and in the homes of the faithful.

What is perhaps less well known is that in France and Belgium Candlemas (Chandeleur) is also considered as the day of crêpes. Tradition attributes this custom to Pope Gelasius I (whose Papacy was 492 – 496), who had pancakes distributed to pilgrims arriving in Rome. It is believed that the forerunner of Candlemas was a Roman festival of candles symbolising the return of the Light after winter darkness, so it is not surprising that it is said that the pancakes, with their round shape and colour reminiscent of the solar disc, refer to the return of Spring. It is even suggested that the practice of flipping a pancake (successfully) brought prosperity for the year ahead.

Our church looks magical in candlelight, so do join us for the service and for drinks afterwards. Our usual monthly service, led by Canon Cavell Cavell Northam, will be on Sunday 18th February at 11:00am.

HAPPY NEW YEAR Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has

gone, the new is here! 2 Corinthians 5:17

You would think that something like New Year would be so simple! Why make it complicated? Just mark the beginning of the next year. Simple. The Jews went back to the very beginning and started the New Year on the traditional anniversary of the creation of Adam and Eve. And why not? However this is usually in the early Autumn. The biblical name for this holiday is the day of shouting. The LORD said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites: “On the first day of the seventh month you are to have a day of Sabbath rest, a sacred assembly commemorated with trumpet blasts. Do not do any of your ordinary work, but present a food offering to the LORD.”’

Leviticus 23:23-32

The Chinese New Year this year is in February. The Islamic New Year in 2018 will begin in September and the academic year starts in September or October. The tax year starts in April and this is the explanation. The calendar is Great Britain was the Julian one which is 11 days off the rest of Europe which used the Gregorian one. They decided to bring the calendar in line with the continent. Until 1752 the tax year in Great Britain started on 25th March, old New Year’s Day. In order to ensure no loss of tax revenue, the Treasury decided that the taxation year which started on 25th March 1752 would be of the usual length (365 days) and therefore it would end on 4th April, the following tax year beginning on 5th April. The next difficulty was that 1800 was not a leap year in the new Gregorian calendar but would have been in the old Julian system. Therefore the Treasury moved the year start again from 5th to 6th of April, and this date has remained unchanged ever since.

Other religions and cultures have different dates so you could if you wanted start New Year in any month. This is good because God makes us new all the time, And He that sat upon the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new”. And he said unto me, “Write: for these words are true and faithful”.

Revelation 21:5

So this year why wait to February, March, April or September? Why

not start the year in January?

Tuesday January 16, 7.30pm, Stone Village Hall

KINDER TRANSPORT – A WANDERING JEW John Fieldsend

John, with his brother and over 600 other Jewish children, was transported in the summer of 1939 from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia to Britain to start a new life. He will speak of arriving in Sheffield, foster parents and first school, the Sheffield Blitz and later boarding school, university, National service and a change of direction.

He will also give us a moving description of his happy pre-war childhood before the war, the discovery of a cache of family photographs and revisiting his homeland.

This is the last photo of the two boys with their father before they left home and parents to board the train to freedom.

Non-members welcome £2 – ring Joan on 748530 for further information.


An A -Z of Dinton by Andrew Wild. G is for Gibraltar. Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory, ceded to Britain in perpetuity under the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713. It is also the name for a small settlement within the parish, astride the A 418, to the northwest of the main part of Dinton. What is the connection? I’m not really sure. Certainly, Gibraltar has not always had that name – it is shown on old maps as Littleworth. One story is that a sailor returned from Gibraltar carrying cholera, causing an outbreak from which many people died. There definitely was a very serious cholera outbreak (maybe in 1850), but it was already called Gibraltar then. G is for Goodall. The Goodall family lived at Dinton Hall between 1788 and 1920. The first Goodall was William, who married Rebecca, heiress to the Dinton Hall Estate. The couple are reported as having had 16 children. On William’s death, the estate was inherited by the eldest son, James Joseph Goodall, who lived there until his death in 1886. James Joseph and his wife Elizabeth had 3 children and the estate was inherited by their second son, Liebert, who lived there with his wife Philadelphia until he died in 1918. Philadelphia died in 1920. G is for Goosey (Goosey Field). There was probably a time when all fields had a local name, for identification purposes. This is the only one that I am aware of, but I am sure there will be more. The Goosey Field lies between the bottom of Boot Lane (just past Goosey Cottage) and the Biggin Pond. I don’t know which came first, the field or the cottage. There is a public footpath across the field, which has not been cultivated for some years, so scrub is creeping in from the edges. It may become the Goosey Wood. H is for Hall – Dinton Hall. Dinton Hall is an impressive Grade 2 (starred) listed building, immediately next to the church. Much of its early work dates from the 1500’s, but it has been much altered subsequently, particularly by the Goodall family, with their many children. It is particularly impressive when viewed from the south, and the fine display of chimneys can be seen from almost any direction. H is for Hermit – The Dinton Hermit. The story of the Dinton Hermit is well known locally, although there appears to be just one piece of original source material. The hermit was John Bigg, clerk to Simon Mayne of Dinton Hall, and Richard Ingoldsby of Waldridge Manor, both of whom were signatories of the death warrant for Charles 1. Upon his restoration in 1660, Charles 2 hunted down those associated with his father’s death. At this point John Bigg became what we might now call a tramp or beggar, living rough. He mended his shoes by nailing new pieces of leather where needed, and one such huge shoe can be seen in the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. There is a local rumour that John Bigg was the executioner of Charles 1. The truth is that the authorities in 1660 couldn’t identify the executioner, allowing all sorts of implausible theories to be aired.


H is for Hermit -The Dinton Hermit (The pub). The Dinton Hermit was, until recently, a pub in Ford. That was quite confusing for outsiders, who clearly expected the pub to be in Dinton and would often ask Dinton residents for directions. Unfortunately, the pub closed in December 2013, and remains so. H is for High Street. On the basis of the electoral register, Dinton High Street (or possibly Westlington High Street – see a later article) extends in an easterly direction from Wootton Farmhouse, in Westlington, to its junction with Boot Lane, where it turns in a roughly northerly direction as far as its junction with Stars Lane. The latter section is sometimes informally known as Upper High Street. The road then turns again and goes past the village hall, but by then it has become Upton Road. I is for Ingoldsby – Sir Richard Ingoldsby. Richard Ingoldsby lived at Waldridge Manor, was a cousin of Oliver Cromwell and an officer in the New Model Army. He was also, along with Simon Mayne (see later), one of the signatories of Charles the First’s death warrant. Upon the Restoration in 1660, Charles the Second pursued all those involved in his father’s death, but Richard Ingoldsby was one of the few regicides who somehow managed to prosper. He is buried in Hartwell. J is for Japanese Knotweed. Japanese knotweed is probably the most serious invasive species to have been introduced to Britain – by well-meaning Victorian gardeners. It can grow through concrete, is expensive to eradicate and can even make properties unsaleable. I am aware of one patch in the parish, beside the A 418 in Upton. (note: entries with the suffix “JH” have been provided by Jon Horn)

K is for Kingham. In 1923 the Kingham family sold Manor Farm (in Ford) to Alfred Ludlow. Miss Alice Kingham lived in France where she had gone to study painting and she married a Frenchman, becoming Alice Kingham Le Chevre. She became a famous painter and won medals for her pictures, many depicting horses. (JH) K is for Kites (Red Kites). The red kite is a native British bird which was poisoned and shot to extinction in England in Victorian times. Reintroduction started in 1989 on the Wormsley estate in the Chilterns, and has been hugely successful. Red kites are commonly seen in the Parish, and more widely. They are birds of prey but obtain most of their food through scavenging.


January Gardening Notes

January is the start of the year, but the gardening year does not start in earnest until March unless of course one is a very keen exhibitor probably sowing onion seeds on Boxing Day.

However there are always jobs to do in a garden whatever the weather. After any cold and frosty weather check over-Wintering plants, such as wallflowers, stocks, Sweet Williams and Polyanthus, to see whether they have been lifted by frost. If they have, firm them in. Rake out fallen leaves and other debris from under hedges. Birds may then find a few over-Wintering grubs. Overgrown hedges may be hard pruned during frost-free weather.

Try to complete pruning or at least tiding up any fruit trees or bushes. Leave plum and cherry trees untouched even in the Summer as they are susceptible to attack by the Silver-Leaf fungus, the spores of which frequently infect the tree through wounds caused by large cuts and will kill the tree.

I often advocate growing potatoes. If you have never grown any, try growing some new potatoes this year, the taste will amaze you. Now is the time to buy some sets, place them in a warmish light place to allow strong shoots to develop ready for planting in March. A very Happy New Year and good gardening in 2018. PS

Stone with Bishopstone and Hartwell Parish Council Forward to 2018!!

If we thought that 2017 was challenging…..!!! As the Parish Council starts to think about the precept for 2018/19 (that little bit(!) that you pay in your Council Tax for local facilities maintenance) thoughts inevitably turn to the rising costs of maintaining our large Parish. I know that you all want us to keep everything looking good but unfortunately that comes at an ever increasing price. So we continue to seek more efficient ways of keeping the current “estate” going while looking at ways in which we can improve the environment in which we live. Sadly, as AVDC appear to have left weeds to take a greater hold in our street gutters we will probably end up having to pay for this to be corrected ourselves. It is an annoying burden but we want to maintain a pride in our streets. On the more positive side, we are looking at further improvements to the War Memorial Recreation Ground - tree management (and planting), provision of exercise facilities and more benches (to recover after the exercise), better practice goals, events sign-posting and a storage facility for fete and sports equipment. We hope also to provide some disabled parking close to the pavilion for its users and would also like to replace the old footpath section next to the playground. Additionally, we are currently investigating the feasibility of low level lighting for the footpath between the car park and the pavilion.

Elsewhere, we intend to provide a much needed bus shelter in Bishopstone where waiting for a bus in inclement weather at the moment is so dangerous. As a result of discussions with Stone School staff regarding road safety, we hope to reduce the danger to children when leaving the school by part-funding the erection of a new protective barrier. There will also be some more improvements to the Cemetery landscape which has been the subject of praise from several parishioners following completion of its renovation this year.

Given the enormous success of the Fete we will, once again, provide support to next year's activity so that weather permitting, the whole community can enjoy this increasingly popular event. However, we do need some ideas from you - the residents - and also of course, volunteers to help improve upon the previous year’s success; so if you have any good ideas for Fete activities and would like to help us make it an even better event then please get in touch.

Your Parish Needs You!!

Which reminds me, 2018 sees the 100th anniversary of the end to the Great War which falls on Sunday 11 November. We hope to change the format of the Memorial Service so please help us to commemorate all those from our Parish who gave their lives in that war. It just remains for me, on behalf of the Parish Council, to add very best wishes to you all for the New Year and look forward to….. Another challenging year ahead!!!

Brian Rogers Chairman SHBPC


Dinton with Ford and Upton Parish Council Plans for 2018

The Parish Council is planning to deal with several issues in the next twelve months. Involvement by parishioners is always welcome if there are other subjects.

There will be further development of ideas and the content of a Parish Plan, based on the survey of 2016. This will include thoughts as to how deal with planning applications for new housing including those going to appeal in January 2018.

The need for comprehensive Broadband is recognised as one that affects several parts of the Parish and we will be pushing BT to implement quicker access to good Broadband speeds.

The parking problems around the church, school and adjacent Ford road have been addressed and with Bucks CC we hope to have measures in place by Easter to protect walls and verges and prevent bad parking. Litter collections will take place in the spring to maintain the visual appearance of the parish. We hope that fly–tippng will be quickly reported. To calm traffic through Ford a Sentinel Speed camera will be in place from December, manned by volunteers.

As November 2018 will be the centenary of the END of World War 1 it is planned that there should be a memorial to the date in the parish. Ideas as to the format are welcomed. Martin Usherwood Chairman DFUPC

We send our love and prayers to all, everyone who is unwell, those who care

for them, and who miss loved ones
