  • Dedicattons of Tfte Cfjutcbcs of ©Ometsetsftire. “L
    DeDicattons of tfte Cfjutcbcs of ©ometsetsftire. BY THE KEY. E. H. BATES, M.A HE late Mr. W illiam Long contributed to the seventeenth “L volume of the Proceedings in 1871 a classified list of the Church Dedications given by Ecton in his Thesaurus Rerum Ecclesiasticarum, 1742. As Editor of the Bath and Wells Diocesan Kalendar my attention has been frequently drawn, from my own knowledge as well as by numerous correspon- dents, to the many errors and gaps in that list. It became plainly necessary to go behind the Thesaurus to the original sources of information. And here I may be allowed to repro- duce what I have already stated in the preface to the Kalendar for 1905. It should be clearly understood that there is no authoritative list in existence. Among the Public Becords are two works known as Pope Nicholas’ Taxatio of 1291, and the Valor Ec- clesiasticus of 27 Henry VIII (1536), containing the names of all parishes in England and Wales. These were primarily drawn up to ascertain the value of the benefices, and only in- cidentally, as in the case of towms with many churches, are the dedications added. The latter work, to which the title of V^ahr Ecclesiasticus or Liber Regis is generally given, was first printed in 1711 by J ohn Ecton. His preface contains a very interesting account of the early work of the Queen Anne’s Bounty Fund, of which he was Receiver, and of the serious state of affairs in the large towns which led to its foundation.

St. Swithin’s Day, (July 15), a day on which, according to folklore, the weather for a subsequent period is dictated. In popular belief, if it rains on St. Swithin’s Day, it will rain for 40 days, but if it is fair, 40 days of fair weather will follow. St. Swithin was Bishop of Winchester from 852 to 862. At his request he was buried in the churchyard, where rain and the steps of passers by might fall on his grave. According to legend, after his body was moved inside the cathedral on July 15, 971, a great storm ensued. The first textual evidence for the weather prophecy appears to have come from a 13th- or 14th-century entry in a manuscript at Emmanuel College, Cambridge. You can find lots more history about him, but he is perhaps one of the more commonly heard of saints, even if its only the legend about the weather.

    The Beacon Ashwick, Oakhill & Binegar News MARCH 2021 Cover photo: © John Law Church Services – March 2021 We continue to keep our church buildings closed for in-person worship. Keep an eye out for next month’s edition of The Beacon for updates about Easter. Until then, we are introducing some variety as to how we enable worship. A small group of people have enjoyed Zoom services for some time but though we have limited resources we are trying some Live Stream and pre-recorded services now too. This way more people can find something to help with worship at home. We share updates on Facebook and use YouTube too. Our Instagram is limited but also a way to find some information. There is a weekly newsletter that you can sign up to from our website which tells you what is happening each week. Please visit www.beacontrinity.church or: Follow us on Instagram! facebook.com/beacontrinity instagram.com/beacontrinity Daffodils are also known as Lent Lilies View from the Hill February 17th was Ash Wednesday and the start of Lent. Traditionally Christians fast during Lent but this year it seems that everyone has had to give up so much already so how do we live Lent in Lockdown. I’ve always liked to try and take something up for Lent, something that is honouring to God and is in some way a sacrifice for me, maybe of time. This year I have had a renewed focus, at least in my head, of how we care for the environment. Many speak of the global climate crisis and I feel that due to the pandemic this has not had the coverage we would expect.
