With Easter so late this year and the Royal Wedding extending the annual May Day festivities weekend, it was truly a time of celebration. It all fitted.

He wrote many serious books Christian, Pagan, or Not Sure you can't deny the sense of hope and expectation that comes about Christianity, as well as the Narnia fantasies.

His mother died when he was 9 (as end of Easter. This was on Thursday 2nd , with the service at 10.15am. This coincided with that happened to me). He didn't marry until he was in his fifties. His wife, like mine, was called week's coffee morning, which was held in the Church Cottage. Joy. But she was an American divorcee with two sons. Lewis found her a pleasant intellectual companion, and agreed, first, to a civil marriage so that she could stay in England. She was The Children's Time on June 5th focussed on Baptism. The following Sunday was Pentecost, already dying of cancer when Lewis arranged a Christian marriage at her bedside in 1956, and and in the afternoon the annual Church yard service for friends and loved ones of those at rest she died 4 years later.

    Men of Denbury 1914-1918 Denbury Place and People the Great War Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land; When you can no more hold me by the hand, (Totnes Image Bank) Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay. Remember me when no more day by day You tell me of our future that you planned: Only remember me; you understand It will be late to counsel then or pray, Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterwards remember, do not grieve: For if the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that I once had, Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad. Christina Rossetti The county of Devon was unusual, but not unique, in that not a single village survived the Great War without loss. Denbury deaths as a percentage of its population were amongst the highest in the land.

  • HOUSES and FAMILIES
    THE ABBOTSKERSWELL VILLAGE HISTORY SERIES, 2 HOUSES and FAMILIES An AbbPast Publication Introduction elcome to our second volume in the Abbotskerswell Village History Series, we hope you have read the first one and are eagerly awaiting this one on village housing. It tells a long story ofW continuity and change related to industry and the village’s inhabitants, both the important ones and the hardworking ones. A number of issues confronted us in telling this story, one being road names; do you use the official ones or the colloquial ones, the historic ones or the modern ones. As before the answer has to be to use all of them to give the flavour of the story, so Buckpitt’s Hill is the road that leads to Stoneman’s Hill, Priory Road was Nunnery Lane until quite recently, Slade Lane possibly went all the way through the village at one time but now Odle Hill (and is that one word or two) is the top part, unless you use Mallands Lane at the very top. Our older residents will tell you Slade Lane actually passes in front of the Butchers Arms, passes Ladywell and becomes the bridle path alongside the Court Grange Copse. This leaves Oak Hill going up past Brooklands, and have you ever noticed the signpost at the top of that hill, called Great Oak? 2. Houses & Families tells the story of a village’s homes and some of the more significant villagers. We were particularly keen to tell the story from long ago right up to today and then place it in its historical context because that is vital.

  • Draft Plan April 2020
    Ipplepen Neighbourhood Development Plan (2020- 2040) Draft Plan April 2020 BLANK PAGE 2 Foreward Thank you to all members of the steering group who have given their time and contributions in helping to prepare this Ipplepen Neighbourhood Plan. The formulation of this draft plan has been led by members of our local community, overseen by the Parish Council and guided by our consultant from Teignplanning. A particular thank you to the Teignbridge Neighbourhood planning officer David Kiernan for advising us in the preparation of the plan. Our objective from the outset (just over 3 years ago) was to provide a sustainable community -safeguarding the past, improving the present and shaping the future. This can be summarised by the 6 key issues raised by the steering group: namely ... future developments, employment, character and appearance, car parking, accessibility and community facilities. These form the basis of our vision for the Neighbourhood Plan. It was also our intention, if possible, to allocate potential sites for any future residential and employment development, thus enabling parishioners to have a say over where development goes and what it looks like rather than leaving it to the local district council. We are hopeful that you will be able to both contribute to, and support, the continued development and final adoption of this Neighbourhood Plan going forward. Our Parish have been praised In the past by local council Representatives, following “Road shows“ held in the village, for our response and willingness to engage in this process. So a big thank you to all Parishioners - it reflects the pride taken by so many in being members of Ipplepen Parish community.

  • Denbury Cistern Has, Throughout History, Been the Centre of the Village, Both Geographically and Socially
    WHAT’S IN A NAME? The site of Denbury Cistern has, throughout history, been the centre of the village, both geographically and socially. It is more than likely the site of the old market cross, which the village would have had during the markets and fairs from the Middle Ages. There is even an unproven suggestion that it was the site of an ancient well, the Saxon village growing up around it with the Church in a central position. The site may always have been connected with water, or it may have had other uses, but the building that we know has certainly existed since 1771, and probably long before, as other chapters will discuss. The water cistern has appeared in records under many names. These include conduit, fountain, water tap, memorial and monument. The names are self-evident, and the need to collect water in the past must have meant that it was the social focus of the community. It is easy to imagine the queuing, the splashing, the clank of buckets and the chatter that went on, and the news that was constantly exchanged, as well as being reminded of how hard life actually was. But it is the central position that has made it useful for every other reason imaginable. Most recently it is familiar as a bus stop, pick-up point (for car passengers) unofficial seat and millennium light. The cistern, possibly in the 1940’s Before the concrete cover was made, a trough, which still exists underneath, was the container from which horses and other animals were watered, the ‘human’ tap being on the north side.
