Their enormous strength and sense of purpose through so many changes are looked on by generations of girls as the inspiration which made sense in their muddled, aimless adolescence. Nevertheless a school which is filled with young people looking forward to their own futures has little time to ponder on the past, particularly when involved in changes in their own immediate environment. Inevitably with the advent of a new Headmistress there will be changes, each one provoking a flurry of excitement or anxiety until it too becomes familiar. Having seen Stover in the spring with its carpet of primroses, it has been for me a constant source of surprise and delight to watch the seasons unroll some new treasure in the grounds but far more exciting has been each discovery of talent, whether it has been in a pupil or her teacher, in the people who make up this community. Many of these events are described in the following pages and I hope that you therefore will experience some of my sense of pleasure as you read about what is happening at your school . Mrs Wendy Lunel 5 In Memoriam Miss Dence — Headmistress 1935-1963 It is with a feeling of great sadness that I write these lines — sadness for the loss of a valued friend. I was lucky enough to arrive at Stover before Miss Dence retired and so had the benefit of working with her for two years . The high standard of the music was achieved after years of hard work, careful nurturing and infectious enthusiasm together with the judgement of a perfectionist. Those lucky enough to come into contact were privileged indeed. She introduced and instilled the love of music and her senior choir was one of the finest in the country . They made several live broadcasts from the Plymouth studio. Though Head Mistress she remained warm, generous and approachable so that even the smallest and newest pupil could be sure of a ready and sympathetic ear for any problem — or just to go and talk. She had a great love of nature — her garden and her flowers . It was a common sight, after tea, to see Miss Dence busy arranging bowls and vases of flowers — outside the door surrounded by the younger girls. With such a knowledge of plants and birds the seed of interest and observation was sown in many young minds. In latter years many, both Staff and girls, will remember with pleasure the traditional carol singing in the entrance hall, at the end of each Christmas term, with Miss Dence at the piano. She was a firm and faithful friend; kind, generous and ever thoughtful for others, especially if they were sick or in trouble, and a very gracious hostess . Finally she was a deeply committed Christian and this was evident throughout her life and in all she undertook . K.M.K. I and many others will miss her . She had a hand in teaching all who were at Stover the meaning of goodness, and I am sure many of us still think and say, `I mustn't do that — Miss Dence would not approve .' Pat Sharp As a child, my school days were very happy as a direct result of the way Miss Dence directed Stover as Head Mistress . At Stover we not only received an academic education but also were introduced to the wider world of the Arts and I owe Miss Dence a debt of gratitude. Jennifer Galloway I have many happy memories of Miss Dence . I know that she was to many of us a source of great encouragement . It was good to know that one had such a stalwart ally on one's side, and her support and interest continued long after I had left Stover . Janet Lynch Watson (Meadows) She was a splendid person, and as an old girl of Stover I remember her guidance and example of personal integrity with gratitude . As a musician she developed in so many of us a lasting interest and pleasure in music, which is surely the mark of a talented and successful teacher . Anne Evans 7 In Memoriam Bishop John Maurice Key It was with great sadness that the school learnt of the sudden death of Bishop Key shortly before Christmas, 1984. Bishop Key was School Chaplain and Chairman of the Board of Governors from 1966 until 1982. John Key was ordained at Portsea in 1928, and became rector of Aylesbeare in Devon three years later. From there he moved to Highweek, Newton Abbot, where he began his close connection with Stover, and was soon to marry Miss Joan Dence, then principal of the school . During the war years he was at Devonport, Plymouth, and in the terrible blitz of that city his growing family took refuge at Stover when his Rectory was bombed . In 1947 he was consecrated Bishop of Sherborne, and moved to Salisbury — the city for which his youngest son, Robert, is now a Member of Parliament. Bishop Key was translated to Truro in 1960, a position greatly enjoyed by both himself and his wife until their retirement. The Bishop was an extremely popular Chairman of the Governors and member of the Stover School community, loved and respected by governors, staff and pupils . Ever-cheerful, he had the great gift of bringing laughter to any situation, and his delightful home at `Donkeys', within the school grounds, was a favourite retreat for many generations of pupils . His home gave him particular pleasure — he had designed it himself — and he spent many joyful hours watching the ever-changing view of Haytor from his living-room window. It gave him real joy to preside over the annual confirmation services held at Teigngrace Church when the pupils, many of them known well to him personally, committed themselves to the faith which was of such importance to him . The Confirmation teas which followed were, of course, an added pleasure to the day! He also thoroughly enjoyed the Jubilee celebrations of 1982, and was especially honoured to be the Chairman of the Governors at such a time. The extremely successful festivities, combined with the glorious weather of the weekend, made it a special pleasure for him — from the opening of the newly-built Jubilee Hall, through to the moving Eucharist service held on the Sunday morning. Bishop Key will be greatly missed by all at Stover, and we can only send our very sincerest best wishes for the future to Mrs Key and her family. An Appreciation When I heard shortly before Christmas of the death of Bishop Key that well known Christmas Carol `Good King Wenceslas' came to mind . I had an image in my mind of a big man striding through the winter weather in order to do his good works. Bishop Key was a big man in every sense of the word . He strode through life leaving a clear mark for the benefit of others who would follow. My personal association first came about when I was asked to join the Board of Governors under his Chairmanship . I soon appreciated his leadership as he directed our deliberations and discussions. He had an ability to listen with interest to all points of view and then to form them into a decision or policy that would meet with general approval . I always felt that any idea or opinion expressed at our meetings would be considered with interest and respect and its true worth decided upon . He would never impose his own views and he led the Governors for so many years for the great benefit of the School. When he decided the time had come to retire and I was honoured to be elected to the Chairmanship, I was very conscious that I was following in the footsteps of a very good man indeed. Since then, many changes have taken place at Stover and the Governors have had considerable difficulties to overcome . A lesser man than Bishop Key could easily have either interfered or objected or merely turned his back and walked away . He did none of these things . He was always on hand to help, to advise, to guide and to pray for the future wellbeing of the School. I, like many others, will miss him very much indeed . His example and inspiration will live on in the School . R. H. Roberts (Chairman of the Board of Governors) 8 Retirement Miss C. A. Smith In July 1984 Miss Smith retired as Headmistress of Stover, a position she had held for the previous fifteen years.

  • Pwll Du, Ilston and Three Cliffs Walk, Gower
    Pwll Du, Ilston and Three Cliffs Walk, Gower Description: A long circular walk beginning at the village of Southgate and following coast line to Pwll Du then circling inland up Bishopston valley to the picturesque village of Ilston before returning to the coast via Three Cliffs valley. You will need OS map Gower 164 to complete this walk as the map below will not have adequate detail to find the footpaths between Kittle and Ilston easily. Distance covered: 8.5 miles Average time: 5 hours Terrain: varied expect some steep paths and lots of mud in winter. Directions: At Pennard church turn off the B4436, take the road for Pennard and Southgate follow the road all the way to the round about at Southgate. Park in the National Trust car park (SS 55310 87461) next to 3 Cliffs Coffee shop. From the car park face the coast and turn left following the cliff top path. As you walk in the direction of Hunts bay about 600yds from where you have parked your car you can find Minchin hole bone caves. Be careful if you decide to go down to the cave it is a real dangerous scramble but it is also probably the reason that the cave is in such pristine condition today. History of Minchin hole bone caves: The cave has been excavated on a number of occasions in the past; the first of which took place in the mid nineteenth century. The many artefacts now lie in Swansea Museum include the remains of a straight-tusked elephant, bison, soft-nosed rhinoceros, cave bear, reindeer, wolf and hyena.

  • SABRINA TIMES September 2019
    SABRINA TIMES September 2019 Open University Geological Society Severnside Branch Branch Organiser’s Report Hello everyone, Our weekend trip to North Pembrokeshire in July was blessed with good weather, and leader Dave Green led our small but happy group on two days of interesting geology from our base in the coastal village of Newport. There was a variety of things to examine during our travels including a dolerite ‘bluestone’ tor in the Preseli Hills, pillow lavas at Strumble Head, columnar jointing at Fishguard, dramatic folding at Newport Sands, glacial landforms at Cenarth, and so much more. For some of us, the highlight of the weekend was relaxing in the sunshine at the Llangrannog beach café eating cake and ice-cream whilst admiring the turbidite exposures in the cliffs surrounding the small bay – food for the mind and body! August’s highlight was the annual OUGS Symposium, this year held at the Open University in Milton Keynes. With the help of our current president Dr Marianne Schwenzer, the hard-working organising committee put together an impressive programme of talks from OU staff about their research activities at the university. I found the talks about space particularly enjoyable, with Prof. Carole Haswell (Head of Astronomy) talking about her favourite subject of exoplanets; Dr Ben Rozitis describing his role on a NASA mission to bring back a rock sample from an asteroid; Prof. David Rothery explaining our current understanding of Mercury and its geological make-up; and Prof. Nigel Harris applying his vast knowledge of mountain-building on Earth to the evolution of mountains found on other planets in the Solar System.

    Viewpoint Breaking the waves © James Stringer, Flickr (CCL) Time: 15 mins Region: Wales Landscape: coastal Location: Hunts Bay, near Southgate, Gower, SA3 1EL Grid reference: SS 56100 86900 Facilities: Parking and toilets at nearby Fox Hole car park (SA3 2DH) Keep an eye out for: Whitlow grass - a dainty yellow wildflower that only grows on the Gower peninsula Vernon Watkins, ‘Swansea’s other poet’, is probably best known for his friendship with Dylan Thomas. Yet his work stands alone as one of the most distinctive voices in twentieth-century poetry. This viewpoint was a special place for Watkins. He often sat here on the clifftop overlooking Hunts Bay below and Pwlldu Point ahead, summoning inspiration for his poetry. How was poet Vernon Watkins inspired by the dramatic Gower landscape? Welsh poet Vernon Watkins (1906-1967) published eight volumes of verse and was described by fellow poet Kathleen Raine as “the greatest lyric poet of my generation”. He lived just a short walk from here in a house overlooking the cliffs. Every day Watkins caught the bus to Swansea where he worked as a bank clerk. When he got home, he would go out for a walk and then settle down to write. Watkins was often seen wandering these cliffs. His deep love and knowledge of the local species meant he was able to name the birds, flowers, and even the weeds that flourished here. He wrote in the poem ‘Taliesin in Gower’: My country is here. I am foal and violet. Hawthorn breaks from my hands. I watch the inquisitive cormorant pry from the praying rock of Pwlldu, Then skim to the gulls’ white colony, to Oxwich’s cockle-strewn sands.
