The Hovingham and Scackleton Newsletter August 2014 The Hovingham and Scackleton Newsletter August 2014 Welcome to the Hovingham and Scackleton Newsletter Well. Is this a perfect summer? After all the rain, it's so good to see that the farmers, the crops, all our plants and little animals are benefitting from the warmth. Lets hope the sun stays out for the August car boot sale, the tennis matches and the market - all of which feature in this issue. And how fine that the Worsley’s are celebrating 450 years of living in Hovingham, and the school is about to sound the trumpet for their 150th anniversary. Enjoy this sunny issue. Margaret Bell Contributions for the June issue are welcome. Please send them to [email protected] by 15th Sept 2013 Newsletter NOW available in COLOUR for friends and family, anywhere around the world D o w n l o ad f r o m o u r w eb si t e w w w . h o vi n gh am . o rg. u k o r su bsc r i b e by e m ai l t o n ew sl et t er @ h o v i n gh am . o r g. u k Hovingham features in world premiere at Ryedale Festival The Ryedale Festival opening concert featured Cheryl Frances-Hoad’s (b.1980) world premier of her ‘Ryedale Concerto’. She says she was “particularly inspired by the Howardian Hills, Castle Howard and the wonderful North Yorkshire Moors railway”; and the three movements track those domains. “The first movement describes a walk around Hovingham, along the Ebor Way, seeing Ampleforth Abbey in the distance, visiting Stonegrave village and the Minster there. I have tried to reflect the variety of the landscape, from the beauty of the bird-filled hedgerows to the majesty of the hills. At the end the music is a kind of hymn to the landscape, as if viewed from the Howardian Hills.” This concerto was preceded by Noyes Fludde, by Benjamin Britten. And very well played all the music was by the amateur musicians, including some young and not so young players from Hovingham.

FOR FURTHER DETAILS TELEPHONE SUE JOHN - 01653 628194 Proceeds towards Scackleton Village Church Philosophy Talks in Hovingham This autumn Martin Bell, who is a professor of philosophy, will give four talks in the Village Hall Community Room under the title “What Is Philosophy?” These will be relaxed and informal sessions, assuming no previous knowledge of the subject, and will include time for questions and discussion. Martin will introduce the answers to the question of what philosophy is given by four thinkers: Plato (Greek, c.429-347 BC), René Descartes (French, 1596-1650), David Hume (Scottish, 1711-1776), and Søren Kierkegaard (Danish, 1813-1855). He will speak about the life and times of each thinker, and about how their ideas have become part of our world. For instance, when we talk about our “guiding star” and “our other half”, we are talking the language of Plato. Everyone is welcome. The total cost for all four talks is £10 per head. The money is for the hire of the room and light refreshments. Any surplus will go to the funds of the Action Group. Contact Martin Bell 01653 628494 for further information. 7.30 – 9 pm, October 8th, October 22nd, November 5th, November 19th. Hovingham Tennis Club – Fancy Tennis this summer? We now have a first class tennis court behind the village hall and approximate membership this year is 57 which include 8 family memberships. We have two teams in the Hovingham League, which consists of 21 clubs in three divisions, which for some years now, has been ably run by one of our members. Games are played on a Monday evening, with six players, three men and three ladies, from May to August in different villages and as it is a league rule that you play on at least two courts (so as you are not playing in the dark!) so we use the courts at Terrington Prep School. We also now have tennis balls and racquets available at the Worsley Arms for holiday makers and for visiting children and grandchildren which can be hired, along with the court, for £5 for two hours. If visitors have their own racquets then Margaret, at the local shop, very kindly collects the hire of the court money. Summer Holiday Tennis Tuition Also this year we have a member willing to give tennis tuition in the summer holidays to raise money for her school trip abroad next year. Full details are on the board at the tennis court. Murray Stewart. Chairman.

The new book, the recently published ‘’Ancient and Modern Hymns and Songs for Refreshing Worship’’ replaces a hymnbook that has been in use since the late 1960’s and gives the opportunity to have more up to date music in the church. The book has a good selection of ‘old favourites’ and contempary hymns and songs, which will help towards uplifting and enjoyable services. The new book will be introduced at the Harvest Festival on Sunday 29th September at 10.30. Please come and join us for a good sing. William Worsley and Eddie Lucas August Car Boot - Monday August 26th Readers might like to be reminded that they can enjoy another of our enjoyable Car Boot Sales on Bank Holiday Monday, August 26th in Hovingham.

  • LCA Introduction
    The Hambleton and Howardian Hills CAN DO (Cultural and Natural Development Opportunity) Partnership The CAN DO Partnership is based around a common vision and shared aims to develop: An area of landscape, cultural heritage and biodiversity excellence benefiting the economic and social well-being of the communities who live within it. The organisations and agencies which make up the partnership have defined a geographical area which covers the south-west corner of the North York Moors National Park and the northern part of the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The individual organisations recognise that by working together resources can be used more effectively, achieving greater value overall. The agencies involved in the CAN DO Partnership are – the North York Moors National Park Authority, the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, English Heritage, Natural England, Forestry Commission, Environment Agency, Framework for Change, Government Office for Yorkshire and the Humber, Ryedale District Council and Hambleton District Council. The area was selected because of its natural and cultural heritage diversity which includes the highest concentration of ancient woodland in the region, a nationally important concentration of veteran trees, a range of other semi-natural habitats including some of the most biologically rich sites on Jurassic Limestone in the county, designed landscapes, nationally important ecclesiastical sites and a significant concentration of archaeological remains from the Neolithic to modern times. However, the area has experienced the loss of many landscape character features over the last fifty years including the conversion of land from moorland to arable and the extensive planting of conifers on ancient woodland sites.
