Letter from the Right Reverend Ruth Worsley Bishop of Taunton Hope for a better future This month of April begins on Maundy Thursday, the day when we remember the last meal Jesus shared together with his friends before he was arrested and crucified. It was the meal that has become so significant in the life of the Church, where bread was broken and a cup of wine passed round, coming to symbolise for us the brokenness of the body of Christ. The sacrifice he made for love of us. Many of us will hopefully celebrate something of the Easter feast this weekend although restrictions continue And yet in the bleakness of this first for a while longer.

Bishop Peter, 65, has been bishop of the diocese for seven years, from 2014. For four of those years, he was the Church of England’s lead bishop for safeguarding and represented the Church of England at the three hearings of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse. The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby paid tribute today to Bishop Peter, saying “his commitment to changing the culture and shining a light in dark places was an inspiration to us all”. Bishop Peter has been receiving treatment for leukaemia since last August. In a letter to the diocese today he wrote that while he had been hoping to return to work before long, his hospital consultant has said he will need to spend many months recovering and will initially be unable to lead services in public, use public transport or go into indoor public spaces.

    Our Ref: +PBW-+RT-ADs/ajh 10 June 2020 To: All Licensed Clergy, All Chaplains, Churchwardens and Chapelwardens, Parish Officers, All Readers, PTO, Honorary Assistant Bishops, Area Deans, Assistant Area Deans, Lay Deans, Deputy Lay Deans, Diocesan Staff, Diocesan Registrar Dear Sisters and Brothers The Next Phase of Opening Our Churches We continue to pray for you all and we are hugely appreciative of the sacrifices you have made, particularly recognising the anguish felt by many due to our inability to celebrate the Eucharist. However, we have also been amazed at the extraordinary and creative ways in which you have continued to live and tell the story of God’s love for the world as seen in Jesus. The words of Paul to the church in Philippi seem very relevant… ‘I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of your, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus’ So, thank you for all you are and give. And thank you too for the messages of love and care to us. We value the knowledge that we are prayed for. You will know that the Government announced last weekend that it hopes that churches may open for individual private prayer from next Monday 15 June. You may have wondered why we didn’t write earlier about this. Although the Church of England has been part of the discussions about the phased re-opening of churches, the group involved were only informed of the changed announcement in the hour before it was made.

    Early Transport on Exmoor by Jan Lowy

    Early transport on Exmoor By Jan Lowy This work is based on notes made for the presentation to the Local History Group, December 2020 Map of West Somerset to Tiverton This shows the area we are mainly talking about. This map is dated 1794. Packhorse bridge at Clickit For centuries men used feet to get about, then horses, then horse and cart, and horse and carriage. There were also boats on rivers and round the coast. On land they needed marked routes to follow, which needed to be kept clear. Stone age people travelled long distances in search of suitable flints for their tools and weapons, but it was during the Bronze age (3000 – 1200BC) that tracks were regularly used - probably something like this. Often on high ground, enabling travellers to see hazards more easily, including those with criminal intentions, avoiding densely wooded and marshy river valleys until forced to descend to cross streams. Just off road to Webbers Post Many modern roads follow the same route: long distance routes such as across the Blackdown and Brendon hills linking the ridgeways of Dorset and Wiltshire with Devon, (as here) and local routes, like tracks along the Quantocks, Mendips and Poldens. As we know, the Romans built a national system of good roads, but after the Romans left the roads were not maintained. There were not many wheeled vehicles, and fewer long journeys, so only local tracks were needed. By the Middle Ages, there was again considerable traffic on the roads. Each parish was responsible for maintaining the roads within its bounds.
