October 2020 The Helmsley Herald St Mary the Virgin, Rievaulx St Chad, Sproxton All Saints, Helmsley St Mary Magdalene, East Moors October 2020 50p Dear friends, As I write, I am listening to our Prime Minister once more announcing further restrictions on our lives, probably lasting for the next six months. We all know that these are necessary. I am pleased to note that public worship is not affected (except that the total number of people permitted in church for a wedding is now fifteen). I have been encouraged and delighted by attendance at Church over the last months. I understand now that although the infection level is relatively low in Ryedale people will be feeling more anxious about being in close proximity to others. The online services have and will continue over the coming months. Please see below for details. With very best wishes Tim Robinson Every Sunday in Helmsley Church 8.00am Holy Communion (Book of Common Prayer, said) 9.30am Parish Eucharist (Common Worship, with music) Sunday online 11.00am Spiritual Holy Communion Monday – Friday online 10.00am Morning Prayer Every Wednesday in Helmsley Church 9.30am Holy Communion (Book of Common Prayer, said) First Sunday in the month in Helmsley 6.00pm Choral Evensong Second Sunday in the month in Sproxton 11am Holy Communion As announced Services at East Moors and Rievaulx Everyone is welcome to all our services Poem chosen by Mary Stewart :- Author unknown - copied from a Radio Times in 1935! There’s a glint of gold in the thorn bush By the side of a long white road, But it’s only a stray straw dangling there Caught from a harvest load. And our memories, our golden memories, That we treasure, you and I, What are they more than a few lone straws From a waggon long passed by? PILGRIM - online group Every Tuesday at 3.00pm Details / link from Tim 10th - 11th October Sadly the harvest quiz we were planning on Friday 9th October is now not going ahead. If we are limiting social interaction to prevent the spread of COVID it would not be right to go ahead with this. Annika and I look forward to receiving your harvest gifts, both fresh and dry/tinned, on Saturday 10th October, 10am – Noon. Gifts can also be brought on Sunday at 8am and 9.30am when we shall celebrate harvest. REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY - 8th November 8am Said BCP Holy Communion 9.30 Eucharist with music 10.55 Gathering around the war memorial. Reading of the names on the War Memorial The Last post Two minutes silence Strict social distancing to be observed. This year there will be no parade and no service in the church following the ceremony outdoors. ANNUAL GIFT DAY 2020 Thank you so much to all those who kindly gave so generously on our Gift Day held in the market place on Friday 4th September. The total on the day was £1,686.19. If full Gift Aid is received, the total will increase to: £1,972.74. A wonderful result of your generosity – thank you again. There is still time to give if you missed Gift Day. Please place your gift in an envelope and give to one of the churchwardens or me. Or post through the vicarage door. I wanted to mention briefly the Parish Giving Scheme whereby parishioners can give regularly through direct debit thus guaranteeing the church a steady income. Do talk to me or the churchwardens if you would like to consider this. There is also information to take at the back of Church. Thank you again Tim Thank you to Jim Hewson and David Owen (and Mark Willshaw when he can) for the terrific and often hard work they do on a Monday morning to keep Helmsley churchyard in good shape. It is always pleasing to walk through and helps us to feel proud of our Church. Need for healing Heavenly Father, We bring to you all those struggling with their mental health just now. We pray: For everyone who is smiling, when inside they’re in pain. For everyone who is saying they’re fine, when inside they feel drained and empty. For everyone struggling with fear and worry as the easing of the lockdown brings new anxieties. Be with them in their suffering, as so much of their world has been stripped back and emptied. When loved family and friends have been taken by illness, Or made distant by lockdown. Pour your healing balm into their pain and sadness. May you walk with them besides still waters May you speak to them in a still small voice. May you heal them, and fill them, and bless them with your abundant love and fullness of life. And may they know that they are loved by you for the beautiful unique person that they are, created in the image of their heavenly creator and loving Lord. In the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen. By the Revd Peter Crumpler Home I just saw a local burglar kicking his own front door in. I asked him what he was doing. He replied, “Working from home.” Aliens probably fly by earth – and lock their doors. Litter Virus A face mask is a helpful thing – It traps those nasty germs! An extra message I must bring In these poetic terms: When you’ve finished with your mask A bin is simply found So drop it in – an easy task! Don’t leave it on the ground! by Nigel Beeton Helmsley Parish Annual Parochial Church Meeting The APCM takes place at All Saints Church, Helmsley on Monday 5th October at 6.30pm. Agenda ANNUAL MEETING OF PARISHIONERS - AGENDA 1. Election of Churchwardens for the coming year APCM FOR THE ELECTORAL ROLL MEMBERS - AGENDA Prayers 1. Apologies 2. Minutes of the last meeting 3. Matters arising 4. Electoral Roll Report 5. Report of the proceedings of the Church Council by the Secretary 6. Financial Statement by the Treasurer 7.

Forms are available to be elected to the PCC (Parochial Church Council). The PCC meets six times a year and works with the Vicar to promote the work of the Parish. It would be good to have some ‘new blood‘ on the Council! If you think this might be for you please chat with the vicar or churchwardens. This letter was addressed to all Church of England Bishops with the encouragement to share it with everyone. Don’t ‘go it alone’ If you are helping others at this time, remember to still leave space and time for yourself. Going the extra mile for other people all the time will only ensure one thing; your collapse. Work in teams. Even the Good Samaritan did not attempt to help the injured man all on his own; he brought in the innkeeper. By sharing the problem, they solved it! FROM THE PARISH MAGAZINE OF SEPTEMBER 1880 The Sunday School Festival took place on Monday 16th, Tuesday 17th and Wednesday 18th of August. On Monday there was the Service of Song and the giving of prizes in Church at 7.30pm. The prizes were given to the smallest first and then they went home. The prize giving took some time but all was ended about 9.30pm and so the first day’s festival came to a close. On Tuesday soon after the early celebration at 6.00am a large company began to gather in the Market Place and waggons kept coming in which were speedily filled so soon as they arrived, until at last there was a long string of nineteen waggons with 525 persons old and young seated in them. So large a trip has rarely if ever left Helmsley for such an expedition and the vicar and Rev E White rode on horseback to help to keep order. It was a long journey via Stonegrave and Hovingham and took four hours, but so soon as all had arrived the house by kind permission of Lord and Lady Lanerton was visited and also the chapel. The whole 525 formed into a long procession three abreast and marched in perfect order through the house. The Chapel which only held 200 was visited in three relays; it was much admired with it’s rich paintings and costly marbles. The Lord’s prayer was said by each party before leaving. On regaining the open air, dinner was the order of the day, then games and wandering about the Park or wading in the water. Then at half past three came the tea and it speaks well for the labours of Mrs Thomson of the vicarage and Mrs McOwan with their assistants that such a large number of people were fed without delay or hitch with plenty of excellent bread and butter, spiced cake and hot tea. After tea there was a visit to the gardens where fountains played and then followed races and scrambling and then it was time for mounting the waggons. At half past five a good start in admirable order was made and home was reached in three hours time; all being thoroughly tired after a most enjoyable day.

  • LCA Introduction
    The Hambleton and Howardian Hills CAN DO (Cultural and Natural Development Opportunity) Partnership The CAN DO Partnership is based around a common vision and shared aims to develop: An area of landscape, cultural heritage and biodiversity excellence benefiting the economic and social well-being of the communities who live within it. The organisations and agencies which make up the partnership have defined a geographical area which covers the south-west corner of the North York Moors National Park and the northern part of the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The individual organisations recognise that by working together resources can be used more effectively, achieving greater value overall. The agencies involved in the CAN DO Partnership are – the North York Moors National Park Authority, the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, English Heritage, Natural England, Forestry Commission, Environment Agency, Framework for Change, Government Office for Yorkshire and the Humber, Ryedale District Council and Hambleton District Council. The area was selected because of its natural and cultural heritage diversity which includes the highest concentration of ancient woodland in the region, a nationally important concentration of veteran trees, a range of other semi-natural habitats including some of the most biologically rich sites on Jurassic Limestone in the county, designed landscapes, nationally important ecclesiastical sites and a significant concentration of archaeological remains from the Neolithic to modern times. However, the area has experienced the loss of many landscape character features over the last fifty years including the conversion of land from moorland to arable and the extensive planting of conifers on ancient woodland sites.

  • This Walk Description Is from Happyhiker.Co.Uk Nunnington to Caulkleys Bank Introduction: This Is an Easy Walk in the Howardian
    This walk description is from happyhiker.co.uk Nunnington to Caulkleys Bank Starting point and OS Grid reference Nunnington – car park by the river bridge (SE 669796) Ordnance Survey map OL26 – North York Moors Western Area Distance 6.7 miles Date of Walk 24 April 2019 Traffic light rating Introduction: This is an easy walk in the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), starting from Nunnington and along Caulkleys Bank, which affords wide ranging views, before reaching the pretty village of Stonegrave. Nunnington is a quiet attractive village best known for Nunnington Hall, a National Trust stately home. After a stroll along by the River Rye, the route passes via the hamlet of West Ness before passing along Caulkleys Bank, following the course of an ancient lane atop this south facing escarpment. There are wide ranging views over the Vale of York. Its trig. point is at a mere 315ft (96m) but the views make it feel higher. There is a bench next to the trig. point, which makes for a great lunch stop, as you admire the view. Unfortunately, I hit a hazy day, which rather restricted it but hopefully the photos will give you some idea of what to expect. Stonegrave is a pretty spot as you descend from Caulkleys Bank. Apart from some lovely properties, there is not a lot there except for a nice church and unusual church. It is unusual in that it is a Minster, the smallest in the country (a good quiz question?). “Minster” was a title bestowed upon particular churches which were a monastery in ancient times.

On these pages you will find details of the combined appointment of a half-time parish priest for the Benefice of Ampleforth, Oswaldkirk, Gilling East and Stonegrave, and a half-time Training Adviser for the Archdeaconry of Cleveland (the northern part of the Diocese of York), with a focus on supporting clergy in their early years following ordination. This is a time of exciting change and development in the life of the Diocese, as we look to form our priorities and strategy for the coming years. We have set ourselves three goals: To reach the people we currently don’t To move to growth To establish sustainable finances … and this appointment is a very significant one in realising those goals in a very distinctive rural benefice, and in the personal development of newly-ordained clergy. I hope that you will find this Profile interesting and stimulating. At the end you will see details of how to contact my colleagues and me, if you would like to have a further discussion. We are holding the work of making an appointment in prayer. May God bless you as you discern his call for you.

  • Walk for July 2015 Ampleforth, Gilling East
    Walk for July 2015 Ampleforth, Gilling East The first half of this walk provides good views looking up at the impressive Ampleforth College and Abbey. The second half starts by passing, first through Ampleforth village, then through the grounds of the Abbey before ending with the more familiar views of the lower western AONB. A good pub at which to start and finish. Gilling East lies on the B1363 road between Brandsby and Oswaldkirk, about 6 miles south of Helmsley. From Slingsby head towards Helmsley on the B1257 and turn left at Stonegrave. Stay on that road until you reach the village. Park on the roadside near the Fairfax Arms pub in the village centre. Start –– Fairfax Arms Gilling Distance – 4 miles Duration – 1½ - 2 hours 1. From the crossroads by the Fairfax Arms, walk up Pottergate, the street to the right of the pub. Stay on the road for over a mile with thick woodland on the left and views over the countryside on your right. The abbey and college buildings at Ampleforth, the highest point on this walk come into view and are increasingly prominent. Pass through a small gathering of buildings and past the sign forbidding access to the nature reserve – you can stay on the road which is a public right of way. 2. The road ends at a gate, just before which a waymark post points your route to the track on the right. Go round the bend to the left and turn right at the waymark signposted Ampleforth. A little further on pass to the left of the permissive path sign and enter the small wooded area.
