Meon Matters News, Views & Comment from East Meon Meon Matters News, Views & Comment from East Meon £1.00 Spring 2020 Issue Number 204 meonmatters.com 11 1 EDITORIAL As the previous issue was going to press, the nation was being inundated. Whole swathes of the country were succumbing to record flooding and thousands were left homeless, their possessions sodden and ruined. How strange it seems now, looking back, to consider that those who were worse affected might have something to feel fortunate about. How quickly things change or to quote the understatement of a good friend, “That escalated quickly”! It seems like a lifetime ago that we were arguing over the validity of cancelling public events. It was just two weeks ago. It seems equally crazy that a week ago, people were saying the postponement of the football was a step too far. And yet today, like tens of millions of workers around the world, I’m writing this holed up in my house. The full impact of coronavirus on the public and our economies is yet to be felt, and a few still think it hype and conspiracy. Whether the lockdown is for weeks or even months is still uncertain. However, the good news is we are all together, and if we are all locked in for weeks on end, many of us are with our families. We will endeavour to print issues as usual. These are difficult and frightening times indeed for us all. But good can and will come out of it. Human beings are resilient creatures and times of crisis can bring out the best the in us all. We are resilient. We’ve weathered storms before, we’ll weather this. So, let’s use this time to bring out the best in ourselves. Let’s work together as a community to support and strengthen each other – albeit not necessarily in person but over the phone or by text or email. Let’s show our friends and neighbours that we care. Already we have seen the village as a whole rise to the occasion and 02392 632 275 02392 632 275 demonstrate great selflessness. Look at what the East Meon Care Group, countryhousecompany.co.uk countryhousecompany.co.uk the Izaak Walton and the Village Shop are arranging, see page 10. Cover Picture: Clare de Lotbiniere EDITORIAL CONT 2 3 VOICE FROM THE VICARAGE Dear all, If we all do what we can, we will all make this better for each other. Keep in touch – via phone, email, social media or text – with other folk in the village. I was hoping that 2020 would be a reasonably unexciting year but that is proving not to be By keeping their morale up, you’ll also be helping yourself feel better. If you the case. In the light of recent announcements from the Government and The Archbishops of Canterbury and York I am writing to let you know that we will be exploring ways of can’t make a big difference, make a small difference whenever you can. doing church differently. Due to the restrictions on gathering together, we will not be able to meet as usual so meetings and normal services are suspended until further notice. Church Keep positive, keep safe … and keep in touch. will continue to be open though, and you are very welcome to come and prayer or to have a time of quiet. During the week I will be in church saying Morning Prayer as usual so if you hear the church bell ringing you know that I will be praying for you. On Sunday mornings I will visit each of the churches in Langrish, East Meon, West Meon and Warnford. If we happen to be there at the same time, we can pray together bearing in mind the advice about hygiene and distancing. Please do email if there is anything or anyone you would like me to pray for. We have been given a lot of information about resources for prayer which can be found on the Church of England website and I will send more information when it is available. This Sunday is Mothering Sunday and we are encouraged to join in a day of prayer to remember especially those who are sick or anxious and all involved in our Health Service. The Archbishops have asked us all to place a lighted candle in our windows at 7pm as a ‘sign of solidarity and hope in the light of Christ that can never be extinguished.’ This is not going to be an easy time for communities everywhere. We are already beginning to see the impact of this in our own village. Hazel Pamplin’s funeral will now be a private service for the family only and we will hold a memorial service for her when we are able to meet again properly. Chris and the family will be very much in our prayers on Thursday. To paraphrase the inscription across the entablature of the James Farley Post Office Whilst there have been some negative comments about the lack of food in the supermarkets in New York City, “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these and the attitude of a minority, it is also encouraging that there are so many people offering Meon Matters couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds”. help and support to those who need it. This is being co-ordinated through the Care Group so if you are able to offer help or are in need of help please contact 07050 177505. Janet and Cyrus in the Village shop have kindly offered to deliver to anyone who is unable to leave their own home. Please phone 823276. East Meon Primary staff are offering to collect and deliver shopping too so if you know someone who needs their support they can be contacted on 823218 The Editorial Team: Editors: Marc Atkinson, Sigi Goolden, Andrew Hughes, Sharon Sillence So, if you or someone you know is in need of help, please do let someone know.

First and foremost we are a public body elected by the residents and form the first tier of local government. Empowered by Parliament we have the authority to raise money through taxation - the precept, and to spend this public money in looking after the infrastructure of the village. The River Meon, parking, traffic, community safety, street lighting, hedges, the allotments, the football field and recreation ground, the all sports court, the 2 children’s play areas, litter, the War Memorial, seats, rights of way, stiles and kissing gates and of course We gathered as planned towards the end of January, right in the midst of the ghastly wet planning - these are some of the main issues that concern East Meon PC. weather that sadly seems to have been with us throughout this winter.

  • The Rise of Non-Conformity in the Ramsdean, Langrish and Stroud Tithings of East Meon in the 19Th Century
    The Rise of Non-conformity in the Ramsdean, Langrish and Stroud Tithings of East Meon in the 19th Century This short paper examines the discovered evidence, documentary and physical of the origins, growth and practice of Non-conformist congregations in the eastern tithings of East Meon viz. Ramsdean, Stroud and Langrish, subsequently separated into the Administrative Parish of Langrish in 1894. A companion paper on the congregations and chapels of the village of East Meon itself is under preparation. These tithings are currently in the Ecclesiastic Parish of East Meon. Inevitably, given the ecclesiastical and governance unity of the parish in the 19th century until 1872 when St John the Evangelist Church at Langrish was built there is considerable connection/overlap with developments in East Meon. Two factors that to some extent differentiate Ramsdean and Stroud from East Meon proper are their greater proximity to the local market town of Petersfield and their distance from the parish church of All Saints at East Meon itself. The latter is highlighted by the very unusually chatty enumerator’s (Mr. Walter Goulding) preamble to the 1861 Census of the tithings which reads “Whilst this is a matter of congratulated [improvement in education and soil fertility], the want of Church accommodation in this district is to be much lamented; the nearest church is more than a mile and the majority of the houses more than two miles & many three miles.” He follows on with that despite the large tithes paid there “….is not one family in five that attends any church, so that most of the advantages of education must be lost from the want of ministerial institutions….” Obviously, a significant issue.

  • Hampshire Barrows
    346 HAMPSHIRE FIELD CLUB HAMPSHIRE BARROWS. By L. V. GRINSELL. PARTS I AND II.—ADDENDA AND CORRIGENDA. PART I. On p. 30 I stated that a list of field names indicating the possible former existence of barrows would be included in a future instalment of this paper. In view of the uncertainties of the times I have decided to complete this paper by the present instalment, and in order to save space the list of field names is omitted ; in any case most of them are given in Dr. Grundy's papers on Hants charters (Archaeol. Journal, Vols. 78, 81, 83, 84). PART II. 30 N.E. Grateley Disc-barrow (p. 217). This appears to be the barrow in which bones were recently found (Hants P.C., XIV, p. 270). 59 N.E. Old Winchester Hill (West). On p. 229, the quarter-sheet was given in error as 56 N.E. instead of 59 N.E. The site is very important and similar to that at Rockbourne on 54 N.W. (Fig. 4c). 80 N.W. Setley Plain Disc-barrows. I forgot to state that an account with excellent plans appeared in Sumner, New Forest, pp. 80 ff. and Plan XXII. Part HI. A List of Hampshire Bowl-Barrows. Introduction. The arrangement of the following list is based on the 6in. O.S. quarter-sheets arranged numerically. An asterisk (*) following the name of the parish denotes that the barrow is not marked on the latest edition of 6in. O.S. map prior to 1938.

  • 600 Transposals of Uk Place Names
    182 600 TRANSPOSALS OF UK PLACE NAMES DARRYL FRANCI Sutton. Surrey, England [email protected] The May 1990 issue of Word Ways carried an article of mine entitled "London Wordplay". This was an examination of trans po sa Is, transadditions, beheadments and a variety of other wordplay bascd on placc namcs in and around London, England. I recently decided to take a trip a virtual trip around Great Britain (England, Scotland, Wales) to search for place names that had genuine English-language transposals. I wanted to get away from the London emphasis of my earlier article and discover transposals of place names out around the country. Transposals of some of the larger British cities and towns have appeared in Word Ways and othcr sourccs beforc (e.g. MANCHESTER searchmcnt, LA CASTER ancestral), and I didn' t particularly want to rehash those here. I concentrated on lesser-known places. Indeed, most of the place names mentioned in this article were unknown to me. I uscd LeXpert, the Scrabble playcr' s software tool, to heIp me find transposals. I could have searched Web ter's Third as well, but decided not to, in order to keep things relatively simple. 0 all the transposals presented in the following list are courtesy of LeXpert, with four (asterisked) exceptions. The counties in which the place names are found are given in braekets with full names at the end of the article. Which placenamc has the most transposals?
