Harvest

For me, cooking is one of life’s pleasures and my favourite recipes involve fruit and veg. I love the variety of colour and texture. I like the fact that each head of garlic and bunch of beetroot is slightly different. The natural world – God’s creation – is all about variety and difference. And autumn is the prime season for cooks who enjoy foraging. Over the last few weeks I’ve been picking damsons from the footpath near Aston Common, harvesting blackberries from the brambles in the churchyard and braving the nettles in the overgrown orchard next door with to fill buckets with windfall apples. Out come the recipe books and then there’s peeling and chopping and stoning to be done. The larder and freezer start filling up with jams, compotes, crumbles and cakes. There is a character in Shakespeare’s “As You Like It” who finds “books in running brooks, and sermons in stones.” In the same vein, I find prayers and alleluias rising with the steam in my preserving pan.

Harvest is the season of abundance. There is always more fruit than we can pos- sibly pick, and most of it goes to feed the birds and compost the earth for next year’s harvest. It’s a visual reminder of God’s abundant grace which can never be exhausted.

Our mind-set tends to be one of scarcity and anxiety. We always worry that we won’t have enough. But maybe that’s because we’re focussed on what we want – or what the adverts tell us we should want – rather than what we actually need. Jesus told his friends they should stress about what they were going to eat, or what they were going to wear – but should simply trust that God would supply their needs. What if we were too live more simply, less wastefully, less anxiously? Wouldn’t it mean more well-being for us and those around us?

Perhaps you haven’t been to church for a while. If that’s the case, I’d like to invite you personally to join us at our Harvest Festival at All Saints when Bishop Pete, the Bishop of will be joining us on October 14th at 10.30 a.m. Everyone is welcome, and if you’d like to bring a gift of dried or tinned produce for the Archer Project you will be sharing some of your harvest with homeless people in .

Harvest blessings,

Frances

Aston-cum-Aughton History Group

The families who held the Manor of Aston from 1066 to 1928

The Verelsts

Harry Verelst was born in 1731, joined the East India Company in 1745, aged 15 and went out to India. He worked his way up through the ranks to become Governor of Bengal from 1767 to 1769. He returned to in 1770, a wealthy man. In 1771 he married Ann Wordsworth, the daughter of Josias and Ann Wordsworth of Wadworth Hall near Doncaster. In 1775 Harry bought the newly built Aston Hall from Robert Darcy, fourth Earl of Holderness.

Their first child, a daughter, Ann, had been born in 1772 and their second child, Mary, in 1773. Harriet was born in December 1774 and Charlotte in 1775, but she died soon after birth. Then came their first son, Harry, born in 1777. These children were all baptised at St. James Church, Westminster. Their next child, Josias, was the first child to be baptised in Aston Church in 1778. Then came Arthur Charles, born 1779 and baptised in Aston, Louisa Elizabeth, born in 1781 and baptised in Westminster, Elizabeth born in 1783 and William, the last child, born in 1784, these last two baptised in Aston.

Unfortunately, Harry’s planned family life at Aston Hall was disrupted in 1774 by a group of Armenian merchants who had been arrested by him in Bengal and who launched a civil case for damages against him. The Court decided in favour of the Armenians and Verelst had to pay £9,000 in damages, as well as full costs. The court case ruined him financially and he had to leave England and retire to France.

Ann and the children stayed in Aston. Harry and Ann continued to meet and they had a child about every two years until the year before his death in Boulogne on 24th October 1785, aged 54 years. He was buried in Minster Church, Thanet, Kent, close to Sevenscore, the village where his wife’s family had at one time lived. There is a memorial to him in the church. Ann died at Aston Hall on 4th December 1835, aged 83 years and was buried in Aston churchyard.

Their eldest son Harry inherited the estate in 1798. He had joined the Scot’s Greys and rose to be a Colonel. He married Elizabeth Amelia Herbert of Muckross, Killarney, Ireland in 1803 at Ardfert Abbey, the seat of the Earl of Glandore. They had a daughter Charlotte Elizabeth who died in Paris in 1825 aged 15 years. 5

www.allsaintsaston.com

Harry and Elizabeth divorced in 1811. He did not remarry and died in 1837. He was succeeded by his brother Arthur Charles. Arthur was vicar of Withy- combe, Somerset and then from 1820 vicar of Wadworth. He had a son Henry Arthur who was born in 1821 but died of consumption, aged 18. Arthur never lived at Aston, but he did visit.

After Arthur’s death in 1843 the estate was inherited by his brother, William, who was Rector of Grayingham, Lincolnshire, from 1820 for 30 years. He also didn’t live at Aston, but like Arthur, he did visit. He married Sophia, eldest daughter of the late William Lee of Grove Hall, . They had no children and he died in 1851.

The estate was inherited by Charles Reed, the illegitimate son of Arthur Charles Verelst and Miss Reed. Charles was brought up by his uncle, Colonel Harry who made him his heir if his brothers died without issue, on condition that he take the name and bear the arms of Verelst. Charles had to make his own way in the world. He became apprenticed to an architect and went on to become well- known in the Liverpool area. In 1845 he married Ann Jane Willasey. They had nine children, four of whom died soon after birth.

The family history says “unfortunately when he came into possession, the encum- brances (five Verelst widows supported by the estate) were so heavy, that he not only did not get any money out of the estate, but it actually cost him money”. As a result, Charles decided to continue to let Aston Hall and carry on working as an architect. By 1858 the widows were all dead and Charles planned to give up his business to live at Aston Hall, but it was not to be. In 1859 he died suddenly of an apoplectic fit. It was not until about 1868 that Jane and her family came to live here.

The eldest son Harry William was eleven when his father died and was 20 when he moved to Aston. In 1888 he married Mary Wilson, of the Wilsons who owned the snuff mills at Sharrow in Sheffield. They had four children, Mary Madge, Harry Wilson, Nancy and Rodney William. He was a Major in the 1st West York Yeomanry Cavalry, Lord Lieutenant of the County of Yorkshire and a Magistrate.

c Vivien Vaughan Cox and his sister Madge went out to stay with him. Sadly, during the visit Madge was killed in a motor accident. Rodney and Mary married

in 1923 and had two children, Ann Madge and Harry Simon. Rodney sold the As- ton estate in 1928 and went to live in the south of England. He and his family moved to Kenya after World War II and he died in Cape Town in 1977. His de- scendants now live in Australia. Ann Key, Aston-Cum-Aughton History Group

Laughton Deanery Pilgrimage to Coventry Cathedral

On Saturday 15th September 2018 a group of pilgrims from Laughton Deanery set forth for Coventry Cathedral to experience a Litany of Reconciliation.

This was organised by Rev’d Vicky Camber, and two full coaches of pilgrims set off early morning from Todwick.

On arrival we were split into groups for a guided tour of the extraordinary build- ing which contrasts the ruined shell of the 14th Century Gothic Cathedral, after its bombing during World War II, with the splendour of the 1960’s modernist design, new cathedral structure.

It is easy to see why this has become a hugely popular symbol of reconciliation in post war Britain. The interior is noteable for its huge tapestry of Christ—which is the size of a full size tennis court! The great west window, known as the “Screen of Saints and Angels”. Engraved directly onto the screen in expressionist style is opposite the altar; the altar is actually at the north end, not the traditional East end.

The cathedral is also known for innovation in its services., being the “International Centre for Reconciliation”, both locally and internationally - predominantly in the Middle East and Central Africa.

8

www.allsaintsaston.com

Our group of pilgrims were fortunate enough to take part int the “Litany of Rec- onciliation” and to receive Holy Communion, led by Canon Pastor Kathryn Fleming.

To spend time in Coventry Cathedral was a spiritual, uplifting experience for all our party; it is a wonderful and renewing place to visit.

From Coventry we journeyed to Stratford-upon-Avon where we enjoyed free time to wander by the river, relax and reflect on the Cathedral’s splendour.

This was an excellent day out, enjoyed by all; extremely well organised by Rev’d Vicky Camber.

Not to be missed!

Thank you on behalf of all the pilgrims. Pat Naylor

Alcohol

‘When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading.’ (Henny Youngman) Night-time visits to accident and emergency always leave me feeling gloomy. That is forged by the tired pain of oneself or a family member, combined with the smell of second hand alcohol, vomit and, on occasion, an uneasy atmosphere of latent or actual violence. Such experiences symbolise the darker side of drink which otherwise ‘gladdens the heart of man’. A recent article in The Lancet suggests there is no safe level of alcohol use. Moderate drinking can help cut heart disease but it increases cancer and similar risks. 914 of 100,000 people who don’t drink will on average get an ‘alcohol related’ health issue, such as an injury or a cancer, in any given year whereas it’s 918 for those who do drink - just a small glass of wine a day. This effect rises rapidly as you drink more. The report suggests that the government ‘safe limit’ recommendations should fall. Some commentators infer that a zero safe threshold and further regulation with extra alcohol related taxes are inevitable. There is no clamour for a ban. Prohibition in America (1920-1933) was a classic lesson in ‘the law of unexpected consequences.’ Ban it equals; promote it and drive it underground. Illegal hooch was dire often causing blindness or worse. But are we all - on average - so daft as to ignore the obvious - drinking too much is bad for you - or so vulnerable that we really need protecting from adverts? Some people are badly addicted to alcohol – a truly terrible illness - but the answer to that is perhaps support for those with alcohol issues, not more general laws? What is the ‘safe limit’ for ‘popping out to the shops’ or ‘flying off on holiday’. There is a slight chance of getting squashed in the lift doors at M&S or crashing out of the sky just as you start to tuck into your travel nuts. And the more you cross the road or drive your car the higher the risks. So why should the government feel that they must intervene in one set of risky

16 www.allsaintsaston.com personal choices as opposed to another? Is it the cost? The Institute of Economic Affairs in 2015 calculated the net cost of alcohol to the taxpayer is minus £6.5 billion a year - meaning those who drink subsidise those who don’t. How come? News stories typically suggest alcohol costs us all £20 billion a year but, says the IEA, this ignores what is actually borne by the taxpayer and what is instead borne by individuals and businesses. It also ignores £10 billion in alcohol tax revenues. So overall public services benefit from alcohol sales and as a taxpayer we are quids in. But to that I would ask what if you are the victim of alcohol related crime, a business owner, have health problems or are emotionally impacted upon by someone else or find yourself sat in late night A&E…

For me neither set of arguments is more compelling than the basic point – Let ’s (and please ‘let us’) take personal responsibility for our own actions. Maybe make ‘drinks’ just ‘a drink’ tonight?

Celebration of Lay Ministries

46 adults were admitted or authorised to work as ‘Lay Ministers’ across the by the Bishop of Sheffield, Pete Wilcox on Saturday 15 September in a special service held at Sheffield Cathedral. Nearly double the number admitted in 2017!

Lay Ministers offer their time and skills to enable the Church to worship and serve throughout the regions of and the East Riding. The service marks an important step on the journey of vocation for the church that will continue with further learning.

During the service, 19 people were awarded a certificate for completion of the Foundations for Ministry and Mission course. This is a year-long course that helps people explore their call to ministry in the church.

The Bishop also admitted 8 people to begin their ministry as Readers, authorised 3 Pastoral Workers, 3 Youth Ministers, 5 Children’s Ministers, 3 Parish Evangelists, 1 Pioneer Minister and 4 Worship Leaders.

The Celebration of Lay Ministries Service, which takes place once a year, sees friends, family, clergy and parishes proudly supporting their candidates.

Amongst this number were our own Mr Steve Eccleston who was awarded a certificate for completion of the Foundations for

Ministry and Mission course and

Beth Henshaw (also editor of this magazine!) was authorised as

Children’s Minister for Aston-Cum

-Aughton All Saints after completion of the Aurora

Children’s Ministry course.

Why Christians are like pumpkins A woman had recently become a Christian and been baptised. Curious, one of her colleagues at work asked her what it was like to be a Christian.

The woman was caught off guard and didn't know how to answer. Then she saw the office‘ jack-o'-lantern’ on a nearby desk and blurted: ‘Well, it's like being a pumpkin.’

Her colleague asked her to explain that one. And so she said: “Well, God finds you and picks you up from the patch and brings you in and washes off all the dirt on the outside that you got from being around all the other pumpkins. “Then He carefully cuts off the top and takes all the yucky stuff out from inside you. He removes all those seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc. Then He gives you a new smiling face and puts His light inside of you, to shine for all to see.

‘It is our choice to either stay outside and rot on the vine, or come inside and be something new and bright. We can each of us smile today, and shine with His light!’

Centenary Project Internships

Elizabeth Henshaw and Hazel Winstanley

Elizabeth (Beth) Henshaw, our Children’s minister and Hazel Winstanley, Admin Assistant for All Saints have begun Internships with the Sheffield Diocese Centenary Project.

Here’s what they will be up to over the coming year…

My name is Hazel Winstanley and I am Rotherham born and bred! I am based in Bramley, where I help out with the youth groups and I run Messy Church at St. Francis as well as a Messy Church in Thrybergh.

I am joining the Centenary Project as an Intern this year, with a focus on Children’s and Families ministry. So, I will be working in Kilnhurst in primary schools and also St. Thomas church with children’s groups. I will also be in Swinton and Mexborough in schools as well as helping out with Christmas Services.

This year really excites me as I love meeting new people and I am eager to see what God has got in store for me on this journey. Furthermore, I am passionate about sharing the Gospel with the children young people and families that live within our Diocese.

On Wednesday and Thursday afternoons, I will still be working in the office as the Admin Assistant for the United Benefice of Aston-cum-Aughton with Swal- lownest and Ulley. I really enjoy my current role particularly helping people with weddings and I am not ready to give this up yet! 22 www.allsaintsaston.com

I am Beth Henshaw, you may know me from All Saints, Aston where I am

Children’s minister( see Page 19) leading Sunday morning Children’s worship group “Footprints and Fun” or as member of the Messy Church team.

I am excited to be beginning the Centenary Project Internship as a Children’s and Families worker. After taking part in the Aurora Children course last year I have been fired up about children’s ministry and how we can find ways to allow children to step inside the story of God and explore it for themselves whilst making meaning in their own lives and nurturing an ongoing faith. I hope to explore a variety of different ministry styles including Mums and toddler groups, Messy church, Godly Play and schools ministry in different parishes, including Whiston, Herringthorpe, Swinton and Doncaster, gaining experience and helping to discern my vocation to journey with children and their families.

I am also looking forward to being a part of the Centenary Project team who are doing amazing things in the Sheffield Diocese, I hope to learn from them and strive to be able to contribute to the support network and the project in a positive way.

I pray that God will give me strength and guidance this year as I begin this new challenge.

However, I will still be fulfilling all of my duties at All Saints in my role as Children’s minister so hope to see you there.

Baptisms

We have decided that in order to comply with GDPR and child protection guidelines we will not be publishing the names of those who have been baptised for the moment. We are in the process of revising our Baptism info pack, after this is finalised we may start to publish them again.

Distribution

I have been contacted by several readers who have mentioned that they have not been receiving their magazine until the middle of the month. In an effort to try and improve this ,I am aiming to complete the magazine 1 week earlier than at present. To enable this, can I request that any content for inclusion in the following month’s edition be sent to me before the 15th of the previous month. Thank you , Beth Henshaw
