Ministers Superintendent: Rev Graham Morgan Presbyter: Rev John Pugh Deacon: Helen Webster Thank You A big ‘thank you’ to the contributors and distributers of this issue, all you do is much appreciated. Not forgetting everyone who helps print and fold our magazine. Deadline for the next issue is October 16th 2015 You know the address: [email protected] The Wayfarer Autumn 2015 Love in Christ, Ellinor Dear friends In the North Yorkshire Coast Circuit we are undergoing change – a new superintendent has arrived, raising the question – What is a Superintendent? Methodists often hear about and speak of this person as the ‘Super’, who is the Senior Presbyter chosen by the Methodist Conference to be responsible for the leadership of the Circuit, aided and supported by the Circuit Stewards. Our new Super is Reverend Graham Morgan replacing Rev Mark Haynes. As well as having Pastoral responsibility in his own right for some of the Circuit Churches his duties include pastoral care of the Circuit Staff and responsibilities of leadership over Circuit meetings, Preachers and Worship Leaders meetings, Staff meetings, plus certain responsibilities to the District. Long standing practises allow him to delegate some of his leadership role to other Presbyters; this is usually seen in the leadership of Church Councils. He is encouraged to preach in as many of the Circuit Churches as possible each year; however in Super Circuits like ours this becomes a rather difficult process so some churches may not see Graham too often. As Super, Graham is also responsible for maintaining discipline within the Circuit and in each Church. The role is a demanding one so let us pray for Graham who joins us with his wife Emma – who is also a presbyter. Our next article is a pen portrait of the man himself. ‘Welcome Graham and Emma’ John 1 The Wayfarer Autumn 2015 Dear friends, In July Emma and I were surrounded by packing boxes in Shildon, County Durham. We were undergoing a seemingly endless round of final meetings, services and saying goodbye to some lovely people. We would soon be surrounded by the same packing boxes in Scarborough and preparing for an endless round of first meetings, services and saying hello to more lovely people! We were very much looking forward to our move and, like it or not, we have a lot of changes ahead of us and challenges before us. Emma and I have been sharing a Team Ministry in the Shildon Circuit - in the North Yorkshire Coast Circuit we shall be part of a much bigger team, this we look forward to. We have two children: Sam(uel) who, in September, will be working for ‘Rock UK’ a Christian Charity based in Carlisle and (Re)bekah who hopes to be living and working in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. It will be strange adjusting to the ‘empty nest’ syndrome. We were both born in the North East of England and reasonably familiar with the North Yorkshire Coast and looking forward to becoming more familiar. As superintendent I will be travelling around the circuit, visiting all the churches and getting to know as many of you as possible in the coming weeks and months. Please be patient with me, presume I know nothing and forgive me if I take a while to put the right names to the right people. Love is at the heart of my ministry; a love for God and I hope to love you all with the love of the Lord, all I ask is that in return, you love me too. Together, let us grow together in Love and seek to share that Love with others as we seek to grow God’s Kingdom in our hearts and churches. Laughter is also an important part of my ministry and my motto, if I had one, would be ‘Laugh often and laugh loud!’ I look forward to meeting you, to working together with you and to sharing much laughter. Hopefully you are looking forward to meeting me and to working together with me. With love in Jesus, Laugh often and laugh loud! The Wayfarer Autumn 2015 Graham (Rev Graham Morgan) 2 The Wayfarer Autumn 2015 “Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain.” Is 40: 4 On the left hand side of the road, going towards Sandsend, the earth on the bank side is being levelled from the top and the rough areas smoothed creating a balanced and even cliff face. On the other side of the road large mechanical earth movers appear to be making a way down to the sea-wall so further support work can be carried out. As a work in progress it is fascinating to watch. As a teenager, whilst walking my dog along the same piece of road I watched in horror as huge amounts of earth fell down on to the road from the nearby bank side and blocked much of it off. Over the intervening years I must admit to taking quite an interest in seeing how this on- going problem has been tackled. Thinking of this recently these words from Isaiah came to mind, “Comfort my people,” says our God, “Comfort them. Clear the way in the desert for our God, fill every valley, level every mountain, the hills will become a plain and the rough country will be made smooth.” (Isaiah 40: 1-5 – GNB ) So much in nature is echoed in life events! There are times for all of us when life becomes overwhelming and seems to come crashing down around us. Domestic problems, health issues, relationship difficulties, bereavement can all create the landslide which blocks our way and at worse threatens to cut us off from our Lord and even our faith. In daily living we address problems created by the forces of nature by turning to the experts in this field, those trained in the management of such events, so surely when crises occur in our lives it is essential that we to turn to the One who will not only support us but guide us through our difficulties, smooth our way and by His grace restore us to the straight highway which leads to Him – Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour. We are His work in progress, which He Himself will complete and which He will never abandon. All He asks is our faith and trust in Him! This is the comfort He brings, the comfort which sustains and makes the rough places plain. Amen. Joyce Harland 3 The Wayfarer Autumn 2015 Last year I was taught how to make loom band bracelets, which knowledge I was able to pass on at Messy Church. We were making loom band friendship bracelets as an activity to think about David as a friend to Jonathan Everyone enjoyed making the bracelets. Passing on things we have learnt is important. When we were gardening with the Children’s Centre in Pannett Park this year it was lovely to see one of the older children, who was almost 5, helping one of the younger children and sharing some of the things he had remembered from gardening before. We all have knowledge and skills which we can pass on to others. Sometimes though we are led to believe that our skills aren’t as important as those of others so we hide our talents away and don’t use the gifts we’ve been given. In 1 Corinthians 12, Paul talks about the church being like a body and emphasises that all parts of the body have value. Even the parts which we think are insignificant have important roles to play. God has gifted us all in different ways and wants us to use and share those gifts – building relationships as we do so. One person can only do so much – much more can be done when we work together. Working together to share, not just practical skills but also the love of Jesus as we get to know people along the way. So what gifts do you have that could be shared and passed on? As you know, my work involves getting alongside people in the communities around us and working with them in many different ways. Messy Church, in Fylingdales, Sleights and from September in Whitby, is not just about crafts, but preparing and serving food and for some people just sitting, chatting and welcoming our guests Street Angels is not just about going on the streets late at night but many other people helping by praying, helping with admin or promotion At the Eastside Community Centre I help with a women’s group and a homework club, do you have skills you could share with either or both of these groups.

  • Authority Monitoring Report 2018
    AMR 2019 Authority Monitoring Report Scarborough Borough Council September 2019 Authority Monitoring Report 2019 i Executive Summary Executive Summary This is the Authority Monitoring Report (AMR) 2018/19 for the Scarborough Borough Local Plan which is required to be published under the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012. It sets out the progress in Local Plan production and the implementation of policies. The AMR measures various indicators to assess the performance of planning policies set out in the adopted Local Plan and helps understand the wider social, environmental and economic issues affecting the Borough. The Authority is required to produce an AMR at least once every 12 months. This AMR relates mainly to the period 1 April 2018 to 31 March 2019, except where data was not available for this exact time period, or it made sense to provide more recent data. The report on the progress of the Local Development Scheme (LDS) and specific elements of Local Plan preparation has been written to be as up-to-date as possible as has the housing position. The report has been produced in accordance with the requirements of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012. There is no longer a requirement to submit the report to the Secretary of State. However, reports must be made public. The new Local Plan was adopted in July 2017 and this is the second iteration of the AMR to rely on the monitoring framework as detailed within Chapter 11 of the Local Plan. Where relevant, each chapter contains the monitoring indicators that are related to that subject area.

  • A Maritime History of the Port of Whitby, 1700-1914
    A MARITIME HISTORY OF THE PORT OF WHITBY, 1700-1914 - Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of London STEPHANIE KAREN JONES UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON 1982 2 A MARITIME HISTORY OF THE PORT OF WHITBY, 1700-1914 ABSTRACT This study attempts to contribute to the history of merchant shipping in a manner suggested by Ralph Davis, that 'the writing of substantial histories of the ports' was a neglected, but important, part of the subject of British maritime history. Rspects of the shipping industry of the port of Whitby fall into three broad categories: the ships of Whitby, built there and owned there; the trades in which these vessels were employed; and the port itself, its harbour facilities and maritime community. The origins of Whitby shipbuilding are seen in the context of the rise to prominence of the ports of the North East coast, and an attempt is made to quantify the shipping owned at Whitby before the beginning of statutory registration of vessels in 1786. A consideration of the decline of the building and owning of sailing ships at Whitby is followed by an analysis of the rise of steamshipping at the port. The nature of investment in shipping at Whitby is compared with features of shipowning at other English ports. An introductory survey of the employ- ment of Whitby-owned vessels, both sail and steam, precedes a study of Whitby ships in the coal trade, illustrated with examples of voyage accounts of Whitby colliers. The Northern Whale Fishery offered further opportunities for profit, and may be contrasted with the inshore and off - shore fishery from Whitby itself.

  • Woodlands Historic Report
    YORKSHIRE GARDENS TRUST NYMNPA Historic Designed Landscapes Project Woodlands Report by Linda Chapman [August 2019] 1. CORE DATA 1.1 Name of site: Woodlands 1.2 Grid reference: NZ 861 080 1.3 Administrative area: Aislaby Civil Parish, Scarborough District, North Yorkshire County (modern), North Riding of Yorkshire County (historic), North York Moors National Park Authority 1.4 Current site designation: Not on the Historic England Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England 2. SUMMARY OF HISTORIC INTEREST Woodlands was the house and estate of the Yeoman family for over 200 years. Henry Walker Yeoman I began to develop the estate and laid out a picturesque landscape from 1795, possibly under the guidance of his head gardener Alexander Willison. After his death in 1800 and for the remainder of the century, the estate was mainly tenanted and the landscape was little altered. In 1901, five spinster sisters of the Yeoman family inherited the Woodlands estate. Under their ownership the grounds were further developed and the garden was opened to the public regularly for charitable purposes. Between 1919 and 1921 the sisters had the house remodelled by the well- known York architect Walter Brierley, who had collaborated with Gertrude Jekyll in his own and other gardens. He may therefore have used that experience to influence the sisters with Jekyll’s style of gardening such as the extensive herbaceous borders. 1 After 1939, large parts of the wider estate were sold and following the death of Charlotte Yeoman in 1958, the remainder of the estate was sold off in 12 lots.
