As he sat in the “T’Virgin Mary’s got nits!” front row the head teacher told him that But there is one, with the script made up as they go the children had along, that goes like this: created their own play. The families of Joseph hearing the news of the imminent arrival of all the children were the baby, asks anxiously: ‘Are you sure about this?’ seated and ready, very excited... Mary replies: ‘Course I’m sure, an angel of the lord told me and her name was Gabrielle’. ‘I think I’m Mary and Joseph made their way towards the inn going to faint,’ Joseph sighed. I’m dead worried and the little boy playing Joseph took centre stage about this, it’s come as a big shock.’ ‘There’s without a trace of nerves beckoned Mary to hurry nothing to worry about, silly. Gabrielle told me not up. She arrived on stage looking worried as she be frightened.’ Joseph pauses and says; ‘I suppose pulled behind her a large cardboard-polystyrene we’ll have to get married then’ ‘I guess so’ replied donkey. ‘Come on, hurry up’ urged Joseph as he Mary. ‘Are you sure you’re having a baby, Mary?’ banged on the door. With no answer he banged Joseph persisted. ‘Yes, I’ve told you and we’re again. Joseph began and shouted ‘Innkeeper, gonna call him Jesus and He will be the best baby innkeeper, let us come in’. Opening the door just in the whole wide world and we will love Him very enough to see his face the Innkeeper replied much and we will take care of Him.’ Joseph still not ‘There’s no room’. Joseph undeterred said, ‘We’ve looking too happy about it all said ‘All right, then’. been up hill and down dale and we’re fit to drop’. ‘Can’t help that’, replied the Innkeeper, ‘there’s no room’. ‘Look, I’ve got a wife out here on a donkey’, There are times when, as the children demonstrate Joseph gestured to Mary standing motionless and in their adaptations of such a well-known story, staring at the audience. ‘Well she’d better get a things don’t go according to plan but somehow ‘it move on and you can’t leave that donkey there, will be ok’. In many circumstances new life brings you’ll have to move it’. ‘Then give us a room, she hope. This year, like no other, there have been having a baby’. ‘Well I can’t help that’ it’s nowt to inspirational stories of hope. But we also know do with me’. And Joseph beginning to despair there are worries ahead, and there is fear: about replied: ‘I know, it’s nowt to do with me neither’. the economy, how we will cope, who we will lose, what will happen, and even with a vaccine, will it The play continued through to the end and the work. Will it ever be ‘normal’ again? final magic moment with the little rosy faced angels with white cardboard wings, shepherds with tea- December and January – Advent and Epiphany are towels over their heads and Kings dressed in old seasons of preparation and hope – excitement and curtains and had paper crowns on their heads all trust. And Christians do believe that “He is the best gathered around Mary and Joseph to sing way in a baby in the whole wide world and we will love Manger and in doing that brought a tear to every Him very much and we will take care of Him”. eye. What more is there to say but to hope that every person in our benefice will have a Happy Christmas: that along with family, friends and neighbours, near or far, whether we are alone or together, in this festival season we will find and offer good cheer, we will know generosity of spirit and be able to show kindness. * Published by Penguin 2005 - © G Phinn & C Mould, with thanks Dodie FROM: THE REVD CANON DODIE MARSDEN, LITTLE BROOK HOUSE, ST MARY BOURNE, ANDOVER, HAMPSHIRE, SP11 6BL, 01264 738211 St Andrew, Hurstbourne Priors; St Nicholas, Longparish; St Peter, St Mary Bourne; St James, Woodcott.

    Issue No. 247 Hill & Valley THE PARISH MAGAZINE OF HURSTBOURNE PRIORS, LONGPARISH, ST MARY BOURNE & WOODCOTT 50p April 2021 Happy Easter Hill & Valley Parish Magazine for Hurstbourne Priors, Longparish and St Mary Bourne & Woodcott April 2021 Dear Friends, April is upon us, the gateway to spring can, of course, be very mixed with hail and even snow, whilst at other times we may bask in warm sunshine, and often we can experience all four seasons in one day! Day by day the polyphony of morning birdsong increases and we cannot but notice the garden waking up with fresh buds and plants, all of which I find quite exciting. The new life and new beginnings that April speaks of, is something very relevant to us all as we begin to embrace change and adapt to life after Covid in anticipation of lockdown being eased. Life, new beginnings and hope are also central themes of the Easter story. Christian hope is not rooted in a distant or romantic past, remembering a one off event two thousand years ago. Easter faith is prophetically grounded in the here and now as the death and resurrection of Jesus spans across time and space and speaks to us today. If we look about our world today, we can see the tragic consequences of the Pandemic across our planet, and indeed our own nation, we also note the human condition is very much alive as our broken humanity continues to inflict war and violence on other human beings. In all these situations, Holy week and the Passion of Christ points to the opportunity of life transformed, redeemed and transfigured; Easter life.

Comments of: Landscape Team Comments relate to the following/document no(s): Design and Access Statement Existing Location and Site Plan Proposed Location and Site Plan Proposed Plans Recommendation: Refusal. Application: Unacceptable in landscape terms, due to adverse impacts on landscape character and visual amenity within the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) which would be contrary to policy EM1 of the local plan. The following comments apply. Comments: The application is for the erection of a new building housing a pool room, home office, plant/storage room and machinery shed at Overbourne House, an isolated single dwelling in the North Wessex Downs AONB overlooking the valleys of Wadwick Bottom and Binley Bottom. The building is proposed to be 6.5m tall and around 30m long, timber clad with .

    Issue No. 245 Hill & Valley THE PARISH MAGAZINE OF HURSTBOURNE PRIORS, LONGPARISH, ST MARY BOURNE & WOODCOTT 50p February 2021 Hill & Valley Parish Magazine for Hurstbourne Priors, Longparish and St Mary Bourne & Woodcott February 2021 Dear Friends, Well, here we are in February. As I write (towards the middle of January), the Covid-19 infection rate is starting to decrease, but hospital numbers are still rising, and death rates are still horrendously high. Thank goodness though that during this lockdown, we are fortunate enough to have the hope of vaccinations being rolled out as quickly as possible. We might now be well beyond the season of Advent, however our message is the same - hunker down and wait patiently. But then, if we think about Candlemas, celebrated on 2nd February (when Jesus was presented at the temple) we hear how Anna had waited patiently for decades. Anna was a remarkable woman: it is believed that she was either an 84-year-old widow or a very old lady who had been widowed for 84 years (making her about 105). Her lifestyle would be viewed today as eccentric, and possibly was also at the time. Anna “never left the Temple but worshipped there with fasting and prayer night and day” (Luke 2:37). As a prophetess and filled with the Holy Spirit, Anna received insights which remained hidden to most people. So, when Mary and Joseph brought their new born baby Jesus to the temple, 40 days after his birth, Anna recognised Jesus, praised God and spoke of Jesus’ significance; that this baby in front of her was the long- awaited Saviour.

    Issue No. 241 Hill & Valley THE PARISH MAGAZINE OF HURSTBOURNE PRIORS, LONGPARISH, ST MARY BOURNE & WOODCOTT 50p September 2020 Hill & Valley Parish Magazine for Hurstbourne Priors, Longparish and St Mary Bourne & Woodcott September 2020 Dear Friends, As I write we have September within our sights. This is what William Wordsworth wrote two hundred and five years ago: SEPTEMBER 1815 While not a leaf seems faded; while the fields, with ripening harvest prodigally fair, in brightest sunshine bask; This nipping air, sent from some distant clime where Winter wields His icy scimitar, a foretaste yields of bitter change, and bids the flowers beware; And whispers to the silent birds, 'Prepare against the threatening foe your trustiest shields’. For me, who under kindlier laws belong to Nature's tuneful quire, this rustling dry Through leaves yet green, and yon crystalline sky , announce a season potent to renew, 'Mid frost and snow, the instinctive joys of song, and nobler cares than listless summer knew’. When I found this poem, it reminded me of what we all face in September; that month of new beginnings, the end of the summer and in particular this year, a month clouded with uncertainties. Winter with ‘its icy scimitar’ will come with a nip in the air from the Arctic perhaps. But this we know about. What is more hidden, more invidious, are things we don’t have any warning signs of, like an unexpected heart attack, stroke or accident, before it hits us. As we try to get our heads around the uncertainties of the future, that crippling emotion “fear” can fill our hearts.

  • St Mary Bourne Neighbourhood Plan
    St Mary Bourne Parish Neighbourhood Plan - 2016-2029 March 2018 1 Foreword St Mary Bourne, Stoke and the Hamlets – Wadwick, the Wykes, Egbury and Binley – are the constituents of a vibrant community (The Parish). It is a balanced group of settlements in terms of its population’s backgrounds and occupations, and has a number of landowners rather than a single dominant one. Figure 1. Area covered by the St Mary Bourne Neighbourhood Plan The Parish has a particular character which the vast majority of residents appreciate and a set of amenities which many villages lack. We benefit from many community-minded activists, driving a wide range of clubs and events from cricket, through badminton to renowned amateur dramatics. 2 In 2011, the Parish Council established a long-term planning group (LTPG) to assess the need for a Neighbourhood Plan (the SMB Plan, or SMBNP), in order to ensure that the community could become closely involved in defining the future of the Parish. The LTPG has reported back periodically to the Parish Council as the qualifying body which has minuted its approval and/or comments on the SMB Plan. The SMB Plan has been developed over a longer period than intended, in part due to the Basingstoke & Deane Local Plan (the ALP) being delayed in its completion. Despite this technical issue, in April 2014 a public meeting was held and a draft of the SMB Plan elements presented. Almost the whole company present agreed that 95% of the SMB Plan was what they saw as the vision for the Parish for the period from 2016 -29.
