Dear Everyone, Wendron Well It is a surprising thought that Wendron Street in Helston does not lead to the Road where Wendron Church is situated. Rather it leads to Falmouth Road, through Trelil & Trewennack & beyond. Wendron Street therefore leads to Trelil where Wemdron’s Well is to be found, set back back about 100 yards or so from the road to Falmouth. The well has recently been restored and repointed and a much appreciated path has been created (& kept mown) to the site of the well itself. It is possible to park a car near the beginning of this path which leads to the well making the minimum distance to travel on foot to be no more than 100 yards. But you can walk further than that if you want! There are some very ancient Celtic crosses not too far away from the well in that part of Wendron parish also to the boundary with Constantine. Indeed some of the historic crosses are in Constantine itself. If anyone would like to plan a short pilgrimage route through Wendron parish ( and perhaps further afield) using available footpaths please can they contact me Bishop Chris walked with members of the Wendron congregation at the conclusion of the confirmation service at Wendron in which Christopher and Chloe Douglas were confirmed on Sunday July 8th. It was altogether a red letter day for us & as Christopher & Chloe begin their journey as confirmed Christians, a journey that will last a lifetime, I am looking for ways in which we as pilgrims can make a journey on footpaths around some of the sacred sites in Wendron parish and perhaps beyond Yours sincerely David Miller, Rector of Helston and Wendron

On June 28th 2018 Bevan Osborne spoke to the Mothers Union about his receiving the Maundy Money from Her Majesty The Queen on Maundy Thursday this year. Forward planning from Buckingham Palace informed him in November that he would receive this in St George’s Chapel, Windsor. A second letter gave instructions on dress code. Windsor Central Travel Lodge organised accommodation and rail travel. One guest was allowed and as Bevan’s wife Isobel was unwell at the time, Grandson Mark took her place. Both travelled to Windsor on March 28th, checked out the route to St George’s Chapel & duly arrived there, together with approximately 180 others. The organist, Luke Bond, played music from 9.45am to 10.30am. There was a choir of 42. The Lord High almoner explained the procedure about receiving the Maundy Money & said that the Queen would have an overview of the interests and life of each recipient.

12 Hi Folks, it’s me “Jacob” again, still hoping to get my position as Magazine Canine Correspondent confirmed. You will see that the Rector has written all about Wendron Well. so I thought I’d give you exact instructions of how to get there. I took the Editor on a walk to find it and he confused me as he mistakenly seemed to think it was on the Wendron side of the Falmouth Road. Anyway, I soon put him right as I’m a bit of an expert on “going walkies”. It is really easy to find but, if you are walking, mind the busy traffic on the Falmouth Road. Just after you pass Trellil Caravan Site, take the next entrance on the right,- just past Trellil House. If you go by car you can park by the side of the lane about 50 Yards in. Then walk a few yards more and the grass path is on the left and goes down towards the big trees in the dip. We were there in no time and I went inside and got into trouble for getting my paws muddy. However, the ground is quite firm so long as you don’t go too close to the stream which runs alongside. We took a photo of the Well for the front cover of the Messenger- I hope you like it!

A Good Deed may lead to greater things!

His name was Fleming, & he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while at work, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools & ran to the bog. There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death. The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up at the Scotsman's humble cottage. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved. 'I want to repay you,' said the nobleman. 'You saved my son's life.' 'No, I can't accept payment for what I did,' the Scottish farmer replied waving off the offer. At that moment, the farmer's own son came to the door of the family hovel. 'Is that your son?' the nobleman asked. 'Yes,' the farmer replied proudly. 'I'll make you a deal. Let me provide him with the level of education my own son will enjoy If the lad is anything like his father, he'll no doubt grow to be a man we both will be proud of.' So that’s what he did.

Farmer Fleming's son attended the very best schools and in time, graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London, and went on to become known throughout the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin.

Years afterward, the same nobleman's son who was saved from the bog was stricken with pneumonia. What saved his life this time? Penicillin!

The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill.

His son's name? Sir Winston Churchill!

Pilgrimage to the Holy Land (continued) from Francis M Searle Herodium, built by Herod the Great in 37 BC as a desert fortification, like an extinct volcano, he built towers around the top and palaces below. Frescoes on remaining walls remain & a classical Roman bath house & one of the earliest synagogues. It was one of the largest and sumptuous compounds of the Roman empire. Herod died in Jericho in 4 BC and was taken to Herodium, Herods Mountain, to his mausoleum on the upper slopes. This was discovered in 2007 by Professor Ehud Metzer after a 35 year search. Archeolanous, Herod’s next of kin who organised Herods funeral from Jerusalem, became Tetrach of Jerusalem. 17 In “The Messenger”-Ten Years Ago we were saying Congratulations to Paul & Freda Phillips who celebrated their Golden wedding on 6th July 2008 When asked where they met, Freda and Paul gave the surprising answer, “in court” & then explained that Paul left home near Leedstown at the age of 16 yrs to join the Metropolitan Police cadet Force. As part of his training he was attached to the Warrant Office at the local magistrates’ court; but long before that Freda & friend, who worked in her father’s nearby Sub Post Office, made a weekly lunchtime visit to the court office for tea & cakes, the girls provided the cakes and the court officers provided the tea! All were well known to each other as the Post Office was where all the court correspondence was posted Love blossomed, & Paul was only too pleased to be sent on the ‘Post Run’ They courted for about 18 months & at the age of 20 they married. Approximately 2 years later, in 1960, Richard was born followed by Ruth in 1962. Paul left the Police in 1967 & with Freda arrived at where they ran a small hotel. Paul subsidised the family income by making use of his Police driver training & opened a driving school. He taught approximately 1,000 people in and around the Helston area. When they sold the hotel they moved to Helston, where Freda had a number of jobs around town. Paul has been involved with much voluntary work & was involved with Victim Support for almost 30 years.. He qualified as a cricket umpire, held various offices in the Church including Church Warden & was a member of the Town and County Council. He was Helston’s Mayor in 2004-6. He also a trained as a volunteer with the National Coastwatch. Freda was in the church choir for some years but has not enjoyed the best of health in recent times. Nevertheless she has supported Paul in all he has done. Paul & Freda have four grandchildren, Oliver, Stephanie, Joshua &Alice ______

This means of course that we must now Congratulate Paul and Freda on their Diamond Anniversary – Best wishes to you both! 18 The Sanctus Bell. Someone asked recently why the Sanctus bell is rung during the Eucharistic Prayer.

The word “Sanctus” means “Holy” and the prayer which concludes the Eucharistic preface is “Holy, Holy ,Holy Lord, God of power and might” which comes from Isaiah ch6,v3. In former times when services were held in Latin and most of the congregation was illiterate, a bell or gong was sounded in the church to alert people to the fact that the most sacred part of the service (the Sanctus) had commenced. The practice continued even after the service was said in English as it was not always easy to hear the priest who celebrated communion facing East with his back to the congregation, often behind heavy rood screens & of course with no modern sound systems as we have today. Many churches still like to ring a bell or gong in church but we & many other churches just toll the church bell as the priest consecrates the bread and the wine. This is not so much to alert the congregation to the sacred part of the service, (hopefully, they will be paying attention!) but to alert people in the town and surrounding area. There may be people who cannot attend church through age or infirmity, or for some other reason, and if they wish, they can listen for the bell and join in the “communion” in their own private way. So, if you are not at church listen out for the Sanctus bell and say a little prayer. Apart from it being rung on Sundays at Helston & Wendron you may hear it in Helston on Thursday mornings. A prayer whilst you’re shopping or at work wont go amiss!

Many will know that the Sanctus bell was rung in Helston for many years by the very faithful servant of the church Melville Roach. For30+ years he also climbed the tower to put up the flag on every Saints Day & wound the church clock three times per week in addition to maintaining the bells in good order.He was one of the many who work behind the scenes seeking no reward. Sadly he has now passed on though fortunately we have our Tower Keeper, Roger Nott, to fly the flag & maintain the bells. Fortunately the church clock is now wound automatically by an electric motor.

Hoping you have had success with your flowers, shrubs & vegetables. We still need to pay attention to runner beans so keep them watered. The lower leaves of tomato plants can be removed to assist with ripening of the fruit. It pays to only have 5 or 6 trusses inside & only 3 or 4 inside. Your fruiting canes that were last years growth should be cut down to ground level & this years canes tied in to your structure. Destroy all cut canes. In Sept. give your fruiting plants & your shrubs a good mulch of manure or compost. Continue to dead-head flowers to give you more blooms. In August, wallflowers may still be planted along with Brompton stocks & sweet-williams flowering next spring. August is a good time to sow seed of Swiss chard & spring cabbage or buy plants from a garden centre. You can take cuttings of geraniums for next years plants. Take a strong cutting 3 to 4 ins long, remove the lower bud & all but 3 leaves at the top. Put them around the edge of a clay pot filled with 25% grit & 75% moist soiless compost, best kept indoors or a cold greenhouse. You can also take cuttings in the same way from other flowering plants & shrubs to propagate them. Enjoy your gardening. Ron Allen

Wendron Bits & Pieces

We were very pleased to welcome Bishop Chris for the Confirmation at our church on 8th July and as mentioned by Rev David, it was a red-letter day for us all to see Christopher and Chloe Douglas get confirmed & take their first communion. As usual our ladies put on a splendid spread of refreshments afterwards and we are most grateful to them for all their hard work. Fundraising for our building project continues but there is not a lot of news during this summer period. Hopefully you will all be refreshed during the wonderful summer that we are having. Best wishes to you all. Bevan *********
