Every year I fantasise about being one of those people who are organised to the nth degree. But then, part of the fun is the last minute flurry. Looking much further ahead I am a bit organised as we have a provisional date for the Alhampton fete which returns again in 2017 with the dog show and the railway. Keep Saturday 1st July free if you can – it is sure to clash with something but whichever day we choose will do that. At least if there is nothing on in the villages themselves we will be doing well. Although there is a core of helpers we really could do with more help so that no one person has to do too much. If you think you could give us a hand in any way, whether large or small, please let me know and we will be very grateful. You could take over a stall, help someone else, run a game or whatever you feel suits you. How good to see the pub flourishing and doing food again. Very good reports and my granddaughter thinks that Macaroni Cheese on the children’s menu is an inspired choice – she can’t wait to try it. Start thinking about your Christmas meals – if the standard is the same (and why shouldn’t it be?) – they will be excellent. Of course, they now have their upstairs room so can accommodate more people. The Alhamptonians meet on 3rd November (as usual, the first Thursday) from about 8.15. Last month we combined the evening with celebrating a significant birthday with Chrys Henning – congratulations to her. If you have any news, anniversaries etc. you would like to tell me about please let me know – it will save me waffling too much! Louisa on 860252 or [email protected] 5 Ditcheat School News The year 6 children at Ditcheat School really enjoyed improving their cycle skills last month. They spent two days in the October sunshine cycling around the village. At the end of two days training all the children had grown in confidence and felt ready to brave the Somerset roads. Thank you to all those motorists who carefully navigated round the children. 6 The October meeting of St. Dunstan's and District Mothers' Union was held on Thursday 13th October, 2.30pm. at Baltonsborough Church Room. Following Opening Prayers, several members were presented with long service certificates. A short business session was held before the guest speaker, Mrs. Margaret Harris, was introduced. Margaret and her husband spend every winter in India, when the weather is usually very hot. She spoke of their many visits there, staying in South Goa, which still reflects Portuguese influence with some houses painted in blue and white. The beaches are very beautiful and fishing boats go from Goa daily to catch fish. Margaret has watched lorries collect the fish and take them away to be sold. Railways built by the British extend all over India. When there are services in the Churches, they are absolutely packed. Margaret has driven many miles in India visiting country areas, towns and cities, seeing enormous forts, which are built on hillsides, tea plantations, jungles, coastal plains and a desert and she has ridden on a camel. She went with her husband early one morning to see the sun rise over the Taj Mahal in Agra, one of India's most famous sights. Originally a tomb built in the 17th century by an Emperor in memory of his wife, it is built on a platform high above the Jamna River. We were told of many interesting customs Margaret has experienced in India including one of the main festivals, Diwali, which signals the start of the new year in the Indian calendar. Everyone lights lamps in their homes during Diwali, so it is also called the 'festival of lights'. Cows are seen as sacred in India, nobody eats beef and most people are vegetarians. They have lots of spices and each region of India produces different kinds of food. Women in India wear saris, and men wear dhotis. Both are long pieces of cloth draped around the body in a certain way.

  • The 'Great' Battle of the Croscombe Cross and My Village Ancestry
    The ‘Great’ Battle of the Croscombe Cross and my village ancestry By Mark Wareham Updated 26th August 2013 In the late 19th century there was an uprising over the preservation of the medieval cross in the village of Croscombe in Somerset. This incident was as a result of efforts by the authorities to destroy the ancient monument and I was delighted to discover that a couple of my ancestors and other family members were directly involved and that one of them was one of the ringleaders. This is a brief story of the skirmish with same notes on the Say, Carver and Marshman families of the Croscombe. I shall start with descriptions of the ‘battle’ from two authors. From ‘Old Crosses of Somerset, 1877, by C Pooley’ “Some years ago, an incident of no little importance occurred in connection with this Cross, which deserves to be recorded. The local way-wardens, thinking the Cross an incumbrance, endeavoured to remove it. It seems that the removal of so ancient a landmark in historical associations of the village proved a graver and more serious matter than these enlightened wardens of the way were aware of. The inhabitants gathered around the old Cross, and came to its defence with bold and determined hearts, bent upon its preservation, but not before the shaft had been hurled to the ground, and its finial broken in twain. The demolishing party having been driven off, a flag was hoisted by the brave villagers bearing upon it the legend ‘BE FAITHFUL;’ this was struck during the melee but as quickly regained, and the standard of the Cross again waived proudly over the heads of the loyal and Christian defenders.

  • The Barrington Papers the Barrington Papers
    The Barrington Papers The Barrington Papers Delia Barrington’s notes on Binegar’s history 1 The Barrington Papers Introduction to Delia Barrington, 1912-1991 Delia Barrington (née Parker) was born in 1912 in Kensington, London and the family then moved to Ealing where she spent the early years of her life. She was of Huguenot descent through her father's side of the family and a member of the Huguenot Society of London for most of her life. Sometime between 1934 and '37, when she was in her mid-twenties, she enjoyed working, along with a number of other volunteers, for the archaeologist Sir Mortimer Wheeler who was excavating the site of the Iron Age Hill Fort at Maiden Castle in Dorset. This was the start of her interest in archaeology and a development of her interest and involvement in local history: something that was to remain with her throughout her life. She joined the Women's Land Army during the Second World War, working on a farm in Buckinghamshire. The hours were long and the work hard but she found it rewarding and made many friends. In 1941, she met the chauffeur of exiled King Zog of Albania who was living nearby. The story goes that she was courted by him, not with flowers but with kippers, which were left for her by the farm gates! These tactics were obviously successful because at the end of the war she and the chauffeur (William Barrington) were married. In the late 1940s, Delia and William went to Holsworthy in Devon where they ran a farm together but after a few years decided that it was not the life for them and they moved to Bristol where William was employed, once again, as a chauffeur until his retirement.

  • 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.
