Whilst the contractor has moved off site they are still coming back to WNC to undertake small scale refinements to any defective paintworks. The railings look splendid! Burials In Reused Graves As members will know Lambeth have produced a website giving details of i!legally re-sold graves (http://www.lambeth. gov.uk/LCem/cgi-bin/lcem.exe?). Until recently no relatives of the original owners of these graves had come forward. However, in July we were pleased to welcome Janet Auckland Hill Railings Hobbs Johnson and her husband and daughter to the cemetery. Jaoet's ancestors include the vocalist John William Hobbs (1799-1877) and his son-in-law Dr William Hayman Cummings (1831-1915). Their gravestone (grave 444, square 112) has been destroyed and the grave re-used, and there is a stone commemorating the recent burial. Both Hobbs and Cummings were well known in their day (Hobbs was a Gentleman of the Chapels Royal and Cummings Principal of the Guildhall School of Music, for example) and feature in my booklet West Norwood Cemetery's Musicians (1998). Janet did not know her relatives were buried at Norwood until she looked at the website. We now need to re-open discussions with Lambeth about re-erecting a memorial on the grave. Mrs HoMs Johnson andJamily, Wesl Nonvood, July 2003 National federation of Cemetery friends Annual General Meeting by Pam Gray This year the National Federation ofCemetery Friends convened their AGM at Wells, Somerset by invitation of the Friends of Mendip Hospital Cemetery. It was an unaccustomed early start for many, but 50 representatives from 17 groups made it. Welcoming addresses from the Mayor of the City of Wells and by local MP David Heathcote~Amory, who was instrumental in saving the Cemetery from sale at auction for redevelopment in 2000, were followed by a tour oflhe Cemetery. In 1873 land was purchased at auction from the trustees of the estate of Edmund Davies for use as burial ground for the Somerset & Bath Lunatic Asylum. Over the coming years, the need for space resulted in extensions to the cemetery and the building ofa chapel. Although the people the Cemetery served were excluded by Victorian society, they were. nevertheless, entitled to a decent Christian burial. Denied separate memorials, graves were marked by simple but elegant cast iron markers. All were subsequently removed. although many were salvaged and are now stored in the chapel. The last of the Cemetery's 2,900 burials took place in the early 1970s and the cemetery closed officially in 1997. The Cemetery is virtually devoid ofmemorials - just 17 scattered in 3 acres of ground - but is a nature reserve of unparalleled peace with a stunning backdrop of rolling green countryside. It remains as a memorial to a vanished piece of English social history. The afternoon was given over to the fonnal business ofthe AGM. This included the latest news on the Local Government Finance Act 1992; an update on the HLF bid for a paid worker for the Federation which member colleagues from Sheffield General Cemetery were pursuing and will now be followed through by the incoming Chairman and officers; a plea from members for reasonably priced insurance following the recent steep increase in premiums; and a debate about the policy adopted by some local authorities of 'laying down' headstones on safety grounds (a subgroup was formed to look into these practices); and the Federation's continued productive work in the government's Burial & Cemeteries Advisory Group (BGAG) preparation ofthe consultation paper on burial law and cemetery provision. There was some questioning on the aims, function, direction, constitution, and composition ofthe Officer panel of the Federation. The election of officers resulted in Arthur Tait coming in as new Chairman, and re~election of Gwyneth Stokes and lan Simpson as Secretary and Treasurer respectively. Edinburgh will be the venue for the 2004 AGM. One ofthe last iron grave markers - Mendip Hospital Cemetery. Line draWing by Don Sianeo. - 4 - lames Busby (1802-1871) by Claudia Orange Reproduced with permission from the New Zealand Dictionary ofNational Biography FOWNC Newsletter 25 (January 1996) carried an article about James Busby and his role in taking vines to Australia and in negotiating the Treaty of Waitangi. However, how and why he came to be buried at Norwood (grave 13,335, square 86) remained a mystery until this article was found on the interne!. Note that the internet bibliography gives sources to further information about some ofthe people and events mentioned in the article. The fact of his burial at Norwood was likewise not known to those interested in Busby's life and work in New Zealand. Its of interest that his headstone records that he died 15 July 1871 aged 72 ... ViticulturaUst. British Resident, farmer, politician, newspaper editor James Busby was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, on 7 February 1802, the second son of Sarah Kennedy and her husband, John Busby, a mineral surveyor and civil engineer. lames Busby studied viticulture in France before accompanying his parents to New South Wales, Australia. The family sailed from Leith in the Triton; on 24 February 1824 they arrived at Port Jackson where James's father had been appointed to survey coal resources and to construct Sydney's water supply. James Busby took up a grant of 2,000 acres in the Hunter River district and began to experiment with vine-growing; in 1825 the first of his several papers on viticulture was published in Sydney. At the same time he obtained employment in the public service as superintendent of the Male Orphan School's farm at Cabramatta, near Liverpool. When he lost this position in 1827 he was given temporary employment as collector of internal revenue. Busby returned to England in February 1831. He made a four month tour of Spanish and French vineyards. He also impressed the Colonial Office with informative reports on colonial matters, including viticulture, pauper emigration, Crown lands, the jury system and the state of New Zealand. The last gained him appointment there as British Resident. James Busby (/802-/871) - 5 - Returning to Sydney in October 1832, Busby married Agnes Dow at Segenhoe, on the Hunter River, on 1 November.

  • Mr Boris Johnson, Mayor of London the Greater London Authority City Hall, the Queen’S Walk, London, SE1 2AA
    Mr Boris Johnson, Mayor of London The Greater London Authority City Hall, The Queen’s Walk, London, SE1 2AA BY EMAIL: 13 March 2013 Dear Mayor Johnson Policing and Crime Plan The Crystal Palace Community Association (CPCA), a 43-year-old registered charity and amenity society, and the Gipsy Hill Residents Association (GHRA), is deeply concerned over proposals to close the purpose built Gipsy Hill police station as part of the cuts to be imposed on London’s police forces. Upper Norwood is a unique part of southeast London lying, as it does, at the confluence of five London boroughs; Lambeth, Croydon, Southwark, Bromley and Lewisham. There is nowhere else in London with this anomalous configuration. Over many decades the cross-borough make-up of the neighbourhood has led to significant difficulties in many areas of local government administration including effective, intelligence- led, local policing. Different initiatives have been made over the years to improve the efficacy of policing in Norwood; the latest being the creation of a Crystal Palace and Upper Norwood Triangle SNT. This cross-borough team has enjoyed some success; demonstrating the benefits and efficiencies of cross-border policing. However, it is understood that even this small presence is likely to be reduced under ill-conceived and researched cost-cutting proposals with the ‘Local Policing Model’ being part reliant on ‘contact points’ in, as yet, unidentified locations. Additionally, police will be based at centres well away from the Crystal Palace/Norwood area ensuring that valuable time is spent ‘commuting’ between their ‘home’ base and the ‘patch’ they have been assigned to work in.
