August 2018 We Welcome Another New Volunteer Who Is Being Trained and Enjoying His Time in the Shop, the Hub of the Village THANK YOU The Uley Singing Allsorts would like to express our thanks to the many loyal supporters, friends and villagers who came to our summer concert at The Matara Centre. Someone was heard to say “It was your best con- cert yet”. Together we raised £700 to be shared equally between Alive & Well and The Ifakara Bakery Project. If you would like to sing with us we would love to see you in the Village Hall at 7.30pm on Tuesday 11th September when our new term starts. Ring me for more details or just come along on the night. Hilary Weeks 860539 Page 2 Inauguration of the Ewelme Benefice On Sunday 24th June, at a special service held in the church of St James the Great in Dursley, the Bishop of Gloucester, the Rt Revd Rachel Treweek, inaugurated our new benefice. This unites the two ecclesiastical parishes of Uley with Owlpen and Nympsfield and Dursley, creating a benefice with two PCC’s (Parochial Church Councils) and five church buildings. The service was a wonderful occasion and was attended by people from all the different communities that make up the benefice, including the headteachers and some staff members from the two church primary schools. During the service, symbols representing the 5 church communities and the 2 school communities, were added to a display which represented the new benefice, complete with a ‘river’ running through it to represent the river Ewelme, from which the benefice takes its name. The children who attended the service also prepared something to add to the display, as well as making paper mitres in tribute to the Bishop, who wore one to pose for photos with the children after the service. A newly ordained Deacon On Sunday 1st July, during a magnificent ser- vice in Gloucester Cathedral, 6 people were or- dained to serve as ministers in the Church. The Revd Jane Wood is our new Deacon, serving in the Ewelme Benefice. Jane has worshipped in Dursley for several years and lives with her husband and 2 sons in Cam where she works part-time. After 3 very hard-working years of part-time study, Jane will work across the churches of the benefice on a part-time basis. Her first Sunday in Uley was on Sunday 15th July when she joined Canon Michael and the congregation for the main Sunday service. And a farewell The Revd Rowena King, who for the past 3 years has been Assistant Curate in Durs- ley and latterly helping out in Uley, Owlpen and Nympsfield, will be leaving us on Sunday 2nd September. Rowena has completed her ‘on the job training’ and has been appointed as Rector of Bourton-on-the-Water with Clapton and The Rissing- tons. As we say our goodbyes, we send our love and prayers to Rowena, Malcolm and Beth. Details of Rowena’s final service and farewell party will be announced shortly.

August is, of course, the quintessential holiday month for families with children – June and September are for those whose children have grown up! The word holiday comes from holyday – Holy Days in the Church calendar; the great Festival days throughout the Church’s year when both religious and secular festivities celebrated the great Saints and Apostles. For most people over the last few centuries these Holy Days were the only thing approaching a holiday that they got. Many towns held fairs connected with Holy Days. For example in Smithfield in London a Bartholomew fair has been held since the Middle ages, while a more venerable event takes place in Crewkerne, Somerset, with the St Bartholomew's Street Fair. This fair, dating back to Saxon times is reputed to have been granted its charter in the time of Henry III (1207–1272). St Bartholomew the Apostle’s day is actually the 24th August in the Western Calendar – al- though for some reason the Crewkerne fair is held in early September. Maybe the ecclesias- tical calendar was not so firmly set then. St Bartholomew seems to be a popular saint in our area – not only do we have our own church in Nympsfield with him as their patron saint, but there are the two churches in the same benefice in Lower Cam and Coaley and another at Churchdown. St Bartholomew was, of course, one of our Lord’s original apostles. While his name appears in the three synoptic gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke, it does not appear in John’s gos- pel. John seems to identify him as Nathaniel instead. As with most of the apostles, we know very little about him other than what was recorded in the New Testament. There are two traditional themes – that he went as a missionary to India and/or to Armenia. I suppose he could perhaps have done both. He apparently worked in Armenia with his fellow apostle Jude, and both are considered to be the patron saints of the Armenian Apostolic Church. Legend has it that he was martyred in Armenia, being flayed alive and beheaded and his emblem is a flaying knife. Current scholarship seems to indicate that he actually died in India. He is credited with many miracles associated with weights. A solid silver statue from the Cathedral of St Bartholomew on the Sicilian island of Lipari was processed annually through the town. On one occasion it became so heavy that the bearers had to put it down and rest. This happened three times and as they tried to lift it the third time walls further down the road collapsed. Had the procession continued normally the townspeople would have died under the walls. During World War II, the Fascist regime looked for ways to finance their activities. The order was given to take the silver statue and melt it down. The statue was weighed, and as it was found to be only a few grams it was left in its place. In reality, the statue is made from many kilograms of silver and it is considered a miracle that it was not melted down. There are two Post Communion Collects appointed for the Festival of St Bartholomew and the second (used for all the Apostles’ festival days) is appropriate for us in our new Benefice: Lord God, the source of truth and love, keep us faithful to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, united in prayer and the breaking of bread, and one in joy and simplicity of heart, in Jesus Christ our Lord.

You are very welcome to attend. Details of the meetings can be found on the notice boards at either end of the village or on the Uley village website at: www.uleyparishcouncil.gov.uk The August edition of the Messenger is now available to download from: www.gloucester.anglican.org/parish-resources/communications/#messenger Page 5 Da Capo At our July meeting we njoyede listening to music by Brahms and his friends, Clara Schumann and Joseph Joachim. We also agreed some changes for future sessions. We now break for the summer, but will commence the new arrangements on the 12th September. Yes, I know it’s not the first Wednesday of the month, but a holi- day has caused the slippage. Da Capo is Uley’s very own music apprecia- tion group. We meet from 2.00-3.45pm at the Uley Pavilion, on the first Wednesday of each month, to enjoy recordings of, mainly, classical music. New members are welcome and our next meeting, on Wednesday 12th September, would be a particularly good time to join as it is the start of the new season. Coming months are likely to feature either Bach, Bartok, Shostakovich or Tchaikovsky. Not all of them and not necessarily in the right order. Members are also invited to suggest themes for future meetings. Thanks to all members for your continuing support.

  • Stroud Labour Party
    Gloucestershire County Council single member ward review Response from Stroud Constituency Labour Party Introduction On 30 November the Local Government Boundary Commission started its second period of consultation for a pattern of divisions for Gloucestershire. Between 30 November and 21 February the Commission is inviting comments on the division boundaries for GCC. Following the completion of its initial consultation, the Commission has proposed that the number of county councillors should be reduced from 63 to 53. The districts have provided the estimated numbers for the electorate in their areas in 2016; the total number for the county is 490,674 so that the average electorate per councillor would be 9258 (cf. 7431 in 2010). The main purpose of this note is to draw attention to the constraints imposed on proposals for a new pattern of divisions in Stroud district, which could lead to anomalies, particularly in ‘bolting together’ dissimilar district wards and parishes in order to meet purely numerical constraints. In it own words ‘the Commission aims to recommend a pattern of divisions that achieves good electoral equality, reflects community identities and interests and provides for effective and convenient local government. It will also seek to use strong, easily-identifiable boundaries. ‘Proposals should demonstrate how any pattern of divisions aids the provision of effective and convenient local government and why any deterioration in equality of representation or community identity should be accepted. Representations that are supported by evidence and argument will carry more weight with the Commission than those which merely assert a point of view.’ While a new pattern of ten county council divisions is suggested in this note, it is not regarded as definitive but does contain ways of avoiding some possible major anomalies.

  • Country Houses of the Cotswolds 9
    7 HE C OTSWOLD MANOR HOUSE and its setting assumed iconic status in the late nineteenth and early T twentieth centuries. At its most potent, it became a symbol of Edwardian nationalism, of the enduring values of ‘Old’ English civilisation itself, and of the unquestioned legiti- macy of a benevolent gentry class whose values were rooted in the land. This ideal was fostered from the start by Country Life, which was founded in 1897, and the magazine occupies a central place as a pioneer interpreter and forceful advocate of the Cotswold house and its landscape. Country Life Inspired by the dominant critique of William Morris, who urged the revival of vernacular styles, Country Life did much to discover and popularise the Cotswolds and to raise its fine houses to cult status. The first issues of the magazine featured tectural record. early manor houses, such as Chavenage, Chastleton, Stanway, Owlpen, Burford Priory, Cold Ashton Manor, and Daneway, Cotswold landscape some of them houses little known at that time, which The Cotswolds have never been a political or administrative reflected the emphasis of Edwardian taste on the Arcadian territory. They are geophysical: a chain of limestone hills setting, the authentic surface, and the unrestored slanting obliquely from north east to south west, on average ‘Tudorbethan’ interior. Under the influence of architects such some twenty miles wide. Today it is generally accepted that as Norman Shaw, Philip Webb and later Sir Edwin Lutyens, the Cotswolds extend fifty odd miles from the mound of the appeal broadened to include the Georgian vernacular of Meon Hill by Chipping Campden, in the north, to Lansdown houses such as Nether Lypiatt and Lyegrove.

Our first walk was a 5 mile 'Tall Trees' walk led by Richard, easy walking but it did take us 3 hours. We learned how to measure tree height. The second day's walk to Wimbleball Lake was led by Denys and proved to be rather eventful .It was planned to be 10.2 miles but the experts tell me that it was over 12 miles and this was born out from my crude estimation when I thought we were at the end only to be advised that there was another 1.5 miles to go. After a showery start the weather cleared up and we finished in good conditions, just a few puddles and mud to contend with. Lunch was at a church in Morebath where some kind ladies turned up to provide tea and biscuits. The main event occurred when our revered chairman fell off the radar. Initially we were not too concerned because the plus or minus 10 % rule applied but in the end a search party was sent out and was successful. A lesson was learned how important it is to have an effective TEC.
