It was the organ of local government in rural areas up until the Local Government Act of 1894. Churchwardens and the Church Vestry had wide responsibilities – civic and ecclesiastical – for the entire community. With the population and urban industrial expansion of the 19th century such a traditional organisation could not cope with the pressing national need for transport, sewerage and other infrastructure. The 1888 Local Government Act set up Local Authorities for Counties and We celebrated Candelmas and the ancient County Boroughs. festival of Imbolc at St Catherine’s Well in In 1894 these reforms came to February. each rural parish. There was a strong Non-Conformist lobby within the Liberal Party which objected to Church of England influence over the creation of Church Schools, and the collection of tithes from the whole community to be disbursed for public projects under church patronage and direction. The 1894 Act therefore set up Civil Parish Councils, specifically separated from the ecclesiastical interests which remained with the Churchwardens and Vestry. This may have been temporarily a relief to Churchwardens, but it cut them off from the general life of the Village and made church life an exception. Previously the maintenance and use of the church was considered together with the need of a new bridge, a village school, or of a sewage scheme. It was all part of the social fabric put to the common charge and interest. After the Act, the church became more exclusive, more isolated from common life. The Vestry evolved into the Parochial Church Council (PCC) which considered matters from a purely church perspective. I think this was a negative development in rural life, one which our current congregations are keen to bridge at every opportunity. 5 Absolute Great news if you beginners to are looking for Improvers... something Just Like You! exciting, fun and creative to do!

The aim is to develop a more inclusive church, which the current entrances into the church are preventing. A new ramp will enable those using wheelchairs to enter the church independently.

Therefore, an alteration to improve the kitchen area is being thought through. The PCC is working closely with the Diocese-approved architect, who has developed options and plans to build a ‘Statement of Needs’. This document has been submitted to the Diocese’s Advisory Committee (DAC) and will become an agenda item for discussion at its next meeting. Following this, we hope that the relevant professionals will make a visit to the church within six months. We all benefit from the church being available for the Cerne Valley community and others outside it. The PCC hopes that the planned improvements will encourage the community and worshippers to use the church into the future. It is important to keep this ancient and beautiful building for future generations. Throughout history the church has responded to changes in culture, as can be seen through the patchwork of alterations in the building. There is evidence that rural churches are struggling to remain open, so the PCC wanted to consider how to keep St Mary’s Church thriving. The community will be updated as the PCC is informed on DAC discussions. SAFEGUARDING IS EVERYONE’S BUSINESS It takes a community to support our next generation and those in a vulnerable situation. The Church of England has developed clear guidelines on the part it plays when maintaining the safety of our children and vulnerable adults. Training is provided to Safeguarding Officers and those working within the church community. A copy of the Diocese policy is displayed on each church notice board.

Part D - Action Plan Details of any actions agreed through Community Recommendations, assigned to community participants, Churches Conservation Trust staff, or to the Churches Conservation Trust Local Community Officer specifically. Part A - Current Report Church Introduction & Statement of Significance All Saints Church in Nether Cerne, Dorset, England was built in the late 13th century. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building, and is a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. It was declared redundant on 1 December 1971, and was vested in the Trust on 8 March 1973. The church and adjacent manor house are built of bands of flint and stone. Most of the church dates from the 13th century, although the tower, with its pinnacles and gargoyle, and porch were added in the 15th. The interior of the church includes a melon-shaped 12th century font, believed to date from an earlier church on the same site. Current use (bookings) & voluntary activity All Saints currently enjoys permission from The Church of England for six Sunday services each year and four additional services on an occasional basis.

The household now included Florence (age 3) William (aged 2) and a lodger Walter Harris aged 21 In the 1901 census the family was recorded as living in Affpuddle and the only sibling to Beatrice now shown is Francis W aged 12 and the only other member of the household is Beatrice’s daughter Elsie May, then aged 2. Beatrice and her daughters Elsie and Lilian are recorded living in the Poole Workhouse in the 1911 census. Beatrice Sturmey is recorded as dying in 1939 and a death certificate confirms her death on 26th September 1939 at the age of 59. This ties in with a birth in 1879 and no other Beatrice Sturmey is recorded at that time anywhere. There was only one Beatrice Sturmey in the census returns for 1881, 1891 and 1901. Beatrice was, according to an Identity card issued in Poole, working as a Domestic Nurse in 1913 in the Waterloo district of Poole.

  • War Memorials in the Cerne Valley Is a Summary of What Is Known About Them
    The following information about the men named on the war memorials in the Cerne Valley is a summary of what is known about them. If you would like more details about any of them, please contact the Cerne Historical Society. CERNE ABBAS AND UPCERNE GREAT WAR OF 1914 TO 1918 There are 14 Cerne Abbas men who died in the Great War and one from UpCerne. Most were in their 20s. The three killed in 1914 were among the Regulars who sustained enormous casualties in containing the German advance and gave the vital time necessary for Britain and its Allies to mobilise for the struggle ahead. Local people remember being told by their fathers that there was a general exodus of young men marching into Dorchester and Sherborne to join the colours following the Declaration of War on 4 August 1914. Edward Henry Young Edward joined the 1st Battalion Dorsetshire Regiment in 1904. He lived in part of what is now 38 Long Street, Cerne Abbas (The Crown). His father was a Thatcher. The 1st Battalion was in Ulster at the outbreak of the war, but moved immediately to the front in Belgium and fought at the 1st Battle of Mons and at Le Cateau in the subsequent retreat. He was killed in The Battle of the Aisne on 16th September 1914 aged 27 and has no known grave. He is commemorated on the La Ferte-sous-Jouarre Memorial in Seine-et-Marne. Horace Collier Horace’s family lived in what is now 6 Abbey Street and in Back Lane, Cerne Abbas.
