Dear Friends We enter the season during which vicars write prefaces at the beginning of parish magazines about New Year resolutions whilst tacking on some tenuous link with the Bible. But rather than trying to sanctify the secular practice of the New Year resolution is there another way? In our culture a vast number of people (some estimate up to 40%) make some kind of New Year resolution. Popular promises include improving ones health, lifestyle, finances, career, education or giving. The mantra of the New Years resolution is “I can become a better person by trying harder.” The desire to become a better person is an indicator that we are not perfect – that we all mess up and make mistakes. New Year is a time of reflection over the preceding year and many of us recognise that during the year we have hurt ourselves or others and that we long for inner peace. It should come as no surprise that this sort of reflection has its roots in many cultures and religions and is also a feature of Christianity. However – and this is the biggie – there is one enormous difference be- tween the secular New Year resolution and what Christians believe and practice. Christians believe that we do not become better people by trying harder. Rather than try and change the outside – the things we do and say in a hope that it will change us on the inside – Christians believe that we become better people by allowing God to change us and transform from the inside. It is through getting closer to God – letting him/her in – that we become the people that God created us to be. We are divine works in progress. So, at the beginning of 2012 you will not find me giving up something or making promises to do something, but you will find me seeking God with all my heart, mind and strength. It is my prayer that you will find peace in 2012 – a peace that comes not from within you but from the God who created you and knows you and loves you. Your friend in Christ. Gavin 4 Welcome to our February edition of the Parish News: I hope you all had a good Christmas and an enjoyable New Year. I always start the new year thinking about what I did in the old and if that served God/others/me well or not? I can’t make my mind up about 2011 at the moment, it was a bit of a mishmash of a year, a bit like the curate’s egg.......... “Good in parts”! However, although 2012 has started in a mad rush, I’m looking forward to the challenges it holds. You will see from the Stewardship report, that we are looking at all sorts of ways to reduce costs and increase income for the church. One area is the Parish News. It would be very helpful if the readership could let me know what they think of the magazine - good or bad, we welcome feedback and would like to know your views on whether we should consider advertising or perhaps press more for a contribution from the recipients of the magazine. Do email me at: [email protected] Good to see Si-the-Fish back, he’s been very busy over the past few months but has found a few minutes to send us in an article. Look out for his TV appearance during this season (or did I miss that as well?) Now is the time to start planning your garden, we’ve lots of articles this month on what to do and what’s happening in Horticulture and the garden, a new contributor Jenny Short guides us through some garden design. Keep in touch and keep your articles coming. Ed Parish News Deadlines Please remember the next issue of the magazine is for MARCH and all articles up to and including things in early APRIL should be with us by the 10th FEBRUARY Email to - [email protected] Robin Hodges 5 Si-The-Fish January and February is white fish time. Many types of sole and shellfish are going through the spawning season and are full of Roe. Cod, Pollack, Ling and Whiting are all at their best, not to mention being full of edible hard Roe, Cod Roe being most popular. We’re all a bit green these days and I expect there’s a few people wincing out there. ‘Cod Roe’ you say? ‘Shouldn’t that be banned’? But the fish has been caught and we’re not sending anything to waste. Having seen first hand the fish prices over the last 20 years, I can safely say I haven’t seen a decline in south coast Cod. When it’s not seasonally available locally, North Sea Cod we’ve re- ceived has been a very steady price for a long time and I certainly don’t see any signs of imminent collapse, as opposed to what Fleet St newspaper editors would have us believe. Also, wholesale whole Pollack has been dearer than whole Cod for over 2 years due to media trends/demand. I honestly believe there is more Cod around than Pollack. - Rant over! Cod Roe is great wrapped in tinfoil with a slice of lemon and poached in boiling water for 15 mins to start. Let it cool, then slice it and fry quickly for a really filling meal. It’s a dry taste and texture so look for moist ingredients to counter-act as garnish. I’ll leave that one to you, get creative. Another real winter warmer is Fish Pie. We prepare it while you wait, the reason being, if you chop it all up and put it all together and sit it on the counter (a popu- lar supermarket shortcut), the Smoked Haddock within will permeate every other ingredient! Si-the-Fish Music @ Uplyme Christmas at Uplyme church was a musical feast, we had everything. On the morning of the 18th a performance if JS Bach’s advent cantata Wachet Auf. Then in the evening the 9 lessons and carols with a choir of around 30 singing with real skill and control, especially in complex pieces such as Peter Brown’s ‘Fall before the manger’ and Cornelius’s ‘The Three Kings’ The Gospel choir also enjoyed Midnight Communion singing as an anthem a Gospel version of ‘Rise up Shepherd. Getting involved with music at Uplyme couldn’t be easier, just get in tough with the Musical Director on 01297 440088, or [email protected] and we will help you to find the group that will enable you to express yourself whether as an instrumentalist or a singer. As you read this, the festival choir will be gear- ing up to our Easter carol worship. Why not get involved? Andy Hague 6 The Rapping Rev This Christmas ITN and Jerusalem Pro- ductions launched an online video com- petition based around the nativity. Con- testants were asked to create a 3-minute video that retells the story of the nativity as creatively as possible. Judges included Michelle Williams from Destiny’s Child and Julie Etchingam, presenter of ITV News at Ten. Revd Gavin Tyte’s Beatbox Nativity video won the competition and was featured on just about every news site and newspaper in every English-speaking territory across the globe. It racked up a good few views on YouTube and was played in hundreds of churches, youth clubs, schools and prisons over the 2011 Christmas period. The highlight for Gavin was Chris Evans playing it to The Archbishop Canterbury live on his BBC2 Radio breakfast show! “A fantastic short film full of wit and humour – perfectly formatted.

Neighbourhood Development Plans were introduced by the 2011 Localism Act, to give local people more say about the scale and nature of development in their area, within the context of both strategic planning policy in the National Planning Policy Framework 2012, and local plans – in our case, the adopted East Devon Local Plan 2013-2031. The Uplyme Neighbourhood Plan relates to the whole of the Parish and includes a wide range of topics: housing, employment, community facilities, transport, and the built and natural environment. The Plan will run until 2031 to coincide with the end date of the Local Plan, but may need to be reviewed before then. The Plan has been drafted by local people in the Uplyme Neighbourhood Plan Group, following extensive community consultation and engagement over a period of years, followed by an examination by an independent Planning Inspector. We believe that the plan represents a broad consensus of local opinion. Chris James Chair Uplyme Parish Council & Neighbourhood Plan Group July 2017 Dedication This Plan is dedicated to the memory of Peter Roy Whiting, former Chairman of both the Parish Council and the Neighbourhood Plan Group. Without his encyclopaedic technical knowledge of planning and civil engineering, his puckish wit, enthusiasm and dedication, the project would have struggled in its formative stage. Peter – your presence is sadly missed.

    320 EXCURSION TO LYME REGIS, EASTER, 1906. pebbles and bed NO.3 seemed, however, to be below their place. The succession seemed, however,to be as above, and, if that be so, the beds below bed I are probably Bagshot Beds. "The pit at the lower level has been already noticed in our Proceedings; cj. H. W. Monckton and R. S. Herries 'On some Bagshot Pebble Beds and Pebble Gravel,' Proc. Ceol. Assoc., vol. xi, p. 13, at p. 22. The pit has been worked farther back, and the clay is now in consequence thicker. Less of the under­ lying sand is exposed than it was in June, 1888. "The casts of shells which occur in this sand were not abundant, but several were found by members of the party on a small heap of sand at the bottom of the pit." Similarly disturbed strata were again observed in the excavation for the new reservoir close by. A few minutes were then profitably spent in examining Fryerning Church, and its carved Twelfth Century font, etc. At the Spread Eagle a welcome tea awaited the party, which, after thanking the Director, returned by the 7.55 p.m. train to London.

Resident highlighted and complained about the state of the potholes and blocked up drainage and ditches adjacent to highways which are pushing the surface water back on to the roads and flooding private land in Uplyme. County Councillor Ian Hall received the complaints and would investigate on why this is happening. Councillor James remarked that drainage and ditches that were initially maintained by Highways, are now suddenly, the responsibility of the landowner. Report from County Councillor – Mr Ian Lloyd Hall Councillor Ian Hall updated Uplyme on the continued progress of Community groups in a triangle of towns in East Devon and West Dorset which are proposing to formalise a joint forum to cover all the angles of health and social care for more than 42,000 people living in the catchment area. This will continue to build on the success of community conversations and subsequent surveys carried out by LymeForward, Seaton Area Health Matters and Axminster Health Needs. The forum would aim to secure a model of place-based care to best serve communities within a triangle formed by Axminster to the north, Seaton to the south and Lyme Regis to the east, striving to improve procurement and delivery of all aspects of health and social care, including: GP surgeries, NHS clinics and hospitals, Health hubs, Mental health services, Care for the elderly.

  • Devon Protestation Oaths
    Mortimers of Devon in the 1642 Protestation Oath Lists Research suggests that the Mortimers first settled in Devon in the 15th century or earlier. By 1523, the name had spread to 16 parishes and just 20 years later that number had grown to 19. By 1600, several branches of the Mortimer family had established themselves in Exeter, Devon’s capital. Over the following centuries Mortimers continued to move to Exeter. By the time of the first census in 1841, 87 Mortimers lived in Devon’s capital, out of 866 Mortimers who called Devon their home, more than any other county except Yorkshire. This document is intended to be a useful resource for genealogists but also Mortimer one name researchers. The history of the Devon Mortimer family is of interest due to their inheritance of a medieval name of great note during the middle ages, the Mortimer family of Wigmore being one of the great dynastic families of the age. Edmund Mortimer and Philippa Plantaganet, Countess of Ulster married in 1368 in Reading Abbey, with Edward IV, a great grandson of the above couple successfully claiming the throne for the house of York during the Wars of the Roses. The long line of Mortimer of Wigmore became extinct upon the death of young Earl Edmund Mortimer in 1425, but other branches survived, including Hugh Mortimer, who died fighting on the Lancastrian side in the Battle of Wakefield, 1460. One branch that survived past 1400 is of particular interest to Mortimer family researchers, the Mortimers of Attleborough, who were prosperous during the Late Middle Ages but then faded into obscurity after 1387, when most of the Mortimer estates were inherited by female co-heirs.
