Open Weekdays only 8 30 am. - 5 pm. Without a doubt my favourite season of the year is summer. I often think back to the long hot summer of 1975 which seemed to go on for ever. lt was even longer than last summer's heatwave. My memories of the summer of 1976 are many and varied. Weeks spent on Woolacombe beach, (l'm sure it was as often as I remember) and it's still my favourite British beach. Then there was of course the hosepipe ban and standpipes. When the rain finally came in September I remember sitting outside in the garden enjoying the cool freshness that came with it. What I like most about the summer is that regardless of the weather, rain or shine, the days are longer, earlier sun rises and late sunsets. This can give us so many opportunities to be outside enjoying the garden with family and friends on a warm summer evening. Somehow the pace of life in summer can seem to slow down just a bit. Another thing I enjoy about the summer is the endless summer community events. Summer fetes and fayres, open gardens, village days, barbeques and picnics. There is plenty on offer to enable local people to gather together focusing on fund raising and community building. Alongside events in our own village there are opportunities to visit other communities and share in the fun with others. So often we can mean to visit other places which are virtually on our doorstep for years, but until we have a reason to cross over into another place we keep putting it off. Community is important we all need to feel we belong. Former England Football Captain, David Beckham, describes what it was like being sent off in the 1998 World Cup :'lt wos probobly the longest wolk in my lit'e... looking bock l'm not sure whot thoughts were going through my mind: it wos o swirl of feor, guilt, onger, worry ond cont'usion. My heod wos spinning... I wolked into the dressing room. The rules stoted thot I hod to stoy in there t'or the remoinder of the motch.' Englond lost. We were out of the World Cup. 'When the other ployers come bock into the dressing room, no one breothed a word to me. There wos olmost complete silence. I could Jeel my stomoch tightening even more. I gulped, breothed in, ond gulped ogoin. lwos in o pocked chonging room but I hod never felt so lonely in my lit'e. I wos isolated ond of roid... We were created to belong. God does not intend for us to be lonely and isolated. God created us for community - calling us into relationship with him and with other human beings. Enjoy your summer however you spend it. Revd. Elaine PERTWOOD SERVtCE, 7th July 2019 The Giles family have very kindly offered us another service at Pertwood. There will be a service of Evensong at St Pete/s, Pertwood, at 3.00 pm on 7th July.

  • Chalk Map of Australia
    Chalk Map of Australia Compton Chamberlayne During World War 1, the Australian soldiers, belonging to the Australian Imperial Force, were based at the Military Camp at Hurdcott. In 1916, volunteer soldiers dug out an outline of Australia, with the word “Australia” inside the map, into the northern slope of Compton Down. They created this large map overlooking the Hurdcott Camp, on the ridge of Burcombe Ivers, southeast of the village of Compton Chamberlayne. On the chalk downs, above the neighbouring village of Fovant, a few miles west of Compton Chamberlayne, there were some twenty discernible military badges that had been carved into the surface of the chalk downs by the end of World War 1. Apparently a large figure of a kangaroo had also been carved into the hillside in the area. (Photo showing Hurdcott Camp & the Map of Australia overlooking the Camp) The map of Australia was constructed by volunteer Australian soldiers by excavating a series of shallow bedding trenches into which clean chalk rubble was inserted and compressed into place. It is believed that the work took 17 weeks to complete. ©Wiltshire OPC Project/ Cathy Sedgwick/2012 In a letter to his family, dated 27th January, 1918, an Australian soldier named Thomas James Quinn wrote: “I am enclosing a map of Australia on the hill here at Hurdcott. It is done with white chalk stone & is longingly watched by the troops camped here.” An extract from the Diary of Cpl Ivor Alexander Williams, Service number 538 of 21st Battalion Australian Imperial Force, dated 13th October, 1917: “Our camp has been shifted so today I had to find them at Fovant (about 2 miles from Dinton) Oh! The scenery is just lovely.

  • THE HENRY WILLIAMSON SOCIETY Spring Meeting in South Wiltshire
    THE HENRY WILLIAMSON SOCIETY Spring Meeting in south Wiltshire, 15–17 May 2020 LOOKING FOR ROOKHURST, SEAT OF THE MADDISONS Henry Williamson’s books are for the most part firmly associated with Devon, North Norfolk and south London around Lewisham. Another, perhaps less obvious and familiar, setting is south Wiltshire (see John Akeroyd, ‘In search of Rookhurst’, HWSJ 49, 67–74, 2013). The Society has not previously held its Spring Meeting in this part of Wiltshire. Among HW’s earliest works, the first two novels of the Flax of Dream tetralogy, Dandelion Days (1921) and The Beautiful Years (1922), have usually been placed ‘somewhere in the West Country’. But there are plentiful clues that we are indeed among the chalk downs, beech hangers, fields, hedges and villages where Wiltshire on the south side of Salisbury Plain meets Dorset. This is confirmed in The Power of the Dead and briefly elsewhere in A Chronicle of Ancient Sunlight, by references to Shaftesbury (‘Shakesbury)’, Cranbourne Chase, Salisbury and ‘The Great Plain’ itself. HW must often have passed this way while back and forth to Devon, as described in The Sun in the Sands and The Innocent Moon or in the essay ‘A Night on Salisbury Plain’. And two stories in The Peregrine’s Saga (1923) also link Wiltshire with Devon. The 2020 Spring Meeting will explore this area to pick up the atmosphere of the novels and visit some actual localities mentioned in HW’s writing. There will be an introductory talk on Rookhurst and its setting on the Friday evening, and on the Saturday evening a talk on the Springhead Trust and Rolf Gardiner, folk-music enthusiast, forester, organic farmer and another of HW’s colourful associates.
