Message from Revd Liz Hassall

What do you want to remember this month?

Remembrance Day and Remembrance Sunday are fixtures in the calendar, given a high profile in the media, and marked throughout the country in various ways.

At this time of year, it is not just those who gave their lives in war that the Church remembers. Our season of remembering begins on November 1st with All Saints Day (or, alternatively, All Hallows Day – hence Hallows Eve or E’en being October 31st). On All Saints Day, or the nearest Sunday, we remember in prayer all the Saints, those recognised nationally or internationally as being particularly able to draw us closer to God. We remember Saints like those we find in the dedications of our churches: Nicholas, Thomas, Mary, Michael, and Cuthbert. These are people who are usually from a long time ago and lived notable lives as disciples of Jesus (Michael being the exception to that description).

Our remembering doesn’t stop with the Saints. All Saints Day is closely followed by All Souls Day on November 2nd. Here we remember all those faithful people who have lived and died, perhaps without becoming well-known but who made an impact on the individuals in their lives. It is usual on All Souls Day to remember in prayer those who have died in recent years. Usually we invite families of those whose funerals we have conducted to come back and spend time remembering them before God. This year we will be doing this remotely. Please get in touch if you would like to know more.

So you can see that, by the time Remembrance Sunday comes round, we have already been in the habit of remembering for a few days. It is appropriate, then, to give thanks for the sacrifices of previous generations in war. In our villages it is always poignant to hear the names read, particularly where there are still descendants with the same name remaining in the villages. I remember also those who served without making the ultimate sacrifice but returned home with their experiences of war weighing upon them.

Whether remembering saints or loved ones or service personnel, the purpose of remembering is the same: so that the lessons of the past may not be forgotten.

2 Remembrance Services

There are three services planned this year: at Brandsby and on November 8th and at on November 11th. Each of these will be short, open air, services with limited numbers. Please book a space with the appropriate churchwarden using the contact details in the centre pages. We will be asking all those present to keep at least 2 metres (6-7 feet) away from others, especially as there are likely to be more vulnerable people attending. There will be no singing.

Preparing to say goodbye

On a more personal note, I am entering my final few weeks as Rector here, before moving to . Under the current restrictions, we can’t have a big final service and party as we would have done in more normal times. However, as with so many things this year, we can move online so I would like to invite you to join me on Zoom for a social evening to say farewell.

Friday 4th December at 7.30pm Bring your own mulled wine, gin, or preferred tipple and raise a glass. There will be speeches, there will be music, there will be shared memories. If you would like to contribute something to the evening, please let me or Liz Crawshaw (01347 868587) know.

Zoom meeting ID: 891 0417 4055 Passcode: 958721 Dial in on 0203 051 2874 if you don’t have computer access.

3 From the registers Our Church registers mark some of the most significant times in people’s lives. Each of these services involves an extended network of family and friends and is one of the ways that the Church connects with people outside our usual congregations. Please keep all these people, and their families, in your prayers. The wedding of Olivia Sayers and Alasdair Manson took place on Saturday 26th September at Coxwold. The wedding of Rachel Burnett and David Viva took place on Saturday 24th October at Coxwold. The funeral of Elizabeth Rymer took place on the 24th September at Coxwold. The funeral of Jean Morgan took place on the 10th October at Crayke. The funeral of Mavis Kilburn took place on the14th October at Brandsby. The funeral of Sue Allum took place on the 15th October at Coxwold.

4 WWI Memories Carved in Stone

In 1919, Robert Thompson’s estimates ledger shows a commission received from the architect’s firm of Temple Moore and Moore for a ‘stone cross, Coxwold’ which stands today in the churchyard of St Michael’s church. This was followed by commissions for war memorials at the churches in the villages of Brandsby and Husthwaite. These three make up an interesting group not simply for the fact that they are works in stone, rather than the oak more usually associated with Robert Thompson, but also as they form some of his earliest work for the nationally renowned architectural practice of Temple Moore and Moore, with whom Thompson would continue to work for the rest of his life.

The firm of Temple Moore and Moore was established by Temple Lushington Moore (1856-1920) a based architect who trained as an assistant to George Gilbert Scott Junior and was later a mentor to Giles Gilbert Scott (with whom Robert Thompson would also work so successfully at Ampleforth). Temple Moore was celebrated for his work in the late Gothic Revival style and was considered to be the leading ecclesiastical architect of his time. His work is particularly well represented in where he was responsible for numerous churches and church restorations. Robert Thomson no doubt came to the architect’s attention through his work for the Ecclesiastical and Church Estates (ECE) Commissioners carrying out general repairs in wood and stone at churches in the area around Kilburn. Robert Thompson’s ledgers show that he produced pieces for Temple Lushington Moore as early as 1913 for Brandsby church.

Between 1914 and 1918 the nation grieved as thousands of young men went off to war never to return. Temple Moore suffered his own loss when, in 1918, his son’s ship was torpedoed off the coast of Ireland. Coming shortly after this personal tragedy, the architect’s work on the war memorials at Coxwold, Brandsby and Husthwaite must have been particularly heart- rending.

Following the death of his son, Temple Moore was joined in the practice by his son-in-law, Leslie Moore, and it Coxwold War Memorial Photo by Peter Wyn-Jones 5 was the latter who, after the senior architect’s death in 1920, oversaw the completion of the stone crosses in the three churchyards. In this way, Leslie Moore seamlessly maintained his father-in-law’s architectural legacy and went on to complete other projects commenced by Temple Moore including, what is considered by many to be Temple Moore’s master Brandsby Church and War Memorial piece, the Grade 1 listed Photo by Colin Merritt church St Wilfrid’s in Harrogate. Robert Thompson too was part of the continuation of Temple Moore’s Gothic Revival legacy. The craftsmen's ledgers show a steady stream of pieces for Leslie Moore until 1954, the year in which Thompson finally succumbed to the terminal illness that led to his death in 1955.

Poignantly, this final collaboration was a magnificent door for the medieval church of St Mary’s in Beverley. Designed by Leslie Moore and completed by Robert Thompson’s grandsons in 1955, it records the names of parishioners who died between 1939 and 1945 in the conflict that followed the earlier tragically misnamed ‘war to end all wars’

Additional note: Robert Thompson’s quotation for the work in Brandsby was for a sum of £120 plus incised lettering at 4/6 per dozen.

6 News from Brandsby WI

Brandsby WI is continuing to use Zoom for our WI meetings. We talk twice a month, the second Tuesday of the month at 7.30pm and then the fourth Tuesday at 4.00pm.

At our October evening meeting, we were joined by Sue and Ian Bretherton of the Dragonfly Schools Foundation. Sue and Ian started the Dragonfly Schools Foundation in 2016 to provide education to severely disadvantaged children in Pushkar India. Ian and Sue explained that since the Indian shut down started this year on 21st March they have had to change their work in India to help with the Covid-19 crisis. The Foundation has joined forces with two other charities in Pushkar to provide food and PPE. The lockdown in India has meant that only one person from each family can leave the family home once a day for an hour to get food and water and that it is the same hour for all families which has meant that it is chaotic getting basic supplies. Taking food trucks to some areas has relieved this crisis point for the families who really need it. It is hoped that schools will be able to re-open in India at the end of October and the Dragonfly Foundation is ready to open their school as soon as they are able.

Sue also spoke about the apprenticeship scheme that they have been involved in with older children and that they have been lucky to get places for training at a local animal hospital. The apprentices have had to get special permission to be able to continue to work during lockdown even though this has not always gone down very well with the police who, unfortunately, have beaten some of the young men on their way to work. To stop these beatings happening the animal hospital and the Dragonfly Foundation provided transport to work so that the apprentices did not have to walk and so avoiding the police.

Sue and Ian are still fund raising for the Foundation and in November and December will be baking cakes to sell to raise funds.

7 News from Crayke Parish Council

Love Lane Many walkers will by now have seen the improvements that have been made to Love Lane, thanks to a generous donation by Mrs Gilbert and further funds and support from North Yorkshire County Council Rights of Way, and the Howardian Hills AONB.

Hopefully this will allow the path to be enjoyed throughout the winter months. Photos below show the ‘mudbath’ as it was last January, and the new path surface today. Also included is a photo from the early 1900’s. Preserving our green spaces is so important, especially during current difficult times.

9 Crayke Sports Club and Village Hall Update

The Village Bonfire will not take place this year for the first time this millennium! This is a great shame particularly for all the good fun and camaraderie it generates as much as the cash for keeping the Hall going. The likelihood of normalcy being restored seems increasingly unlikely before Christmas.

Village Litter Pick November 7th Starts 10am at Club. All welcome.

Our Secretary has undertaken to try to have a monthly ‘Take Away’ food service provided from the Hall car park. To avoid additional cost and Covid risk we do not open the Hall nor take any profit from this. It is purely as a service for the community of Crayke with all receipts going to the food provider.

As a consequence the numbers are limited to those who will pay on the day and we can only take confirmed orders to ensure the supplier doesn't end up with surplus food and cost. The date for November will be available from the village WhatsApp group members when finalised. We have had a good deal of success so far with Fish and Chips so a big thanks goes to John Zywica for his efforts and patience with this.

Senior football has commenced and anyone thinking of joining please email Pat Gibbs [email protected] or Liam on 07368 397407.

Playground The children’s play area can be used in line with the government Covid guidelines. Please helps keep this area tidy by putting any rubbish in the appropriate bins near the Hall.

Use of the field for exercise, walking and running is permitted so long as social distancing recommendations are observed.

Please remember that dogs are are not allowed on the grounds and that all of the above will be subject to charges in the Govt, Covid rules.

12 News from Husthwaite CE Primary School & Apple Tree Nursery Part of the Husthwaite & Sessay Primary Federation It was wonderful to welcome everyone back into school CE Primary School for the start of a new academic year. Everyone is now able to return to school full time and we are operating in class ‘bubbles’ and ‘zones’.

Children have adapted well to the new routines and systems that are in place to ensure everyone’s safety and wellbeing and we thank parents and carers for working with us in partnership to ensure a smooth transition back to school. We look forward to a successful academic year although there will no doubt still be some challenging times ahead.

Relying on technology has played a vital role in recent months in maintaining some key elements of school life as well as enabling effective communication links between staff, parents and pupils and will no doubt continue to so for a while. Weekly sharing assemblies continue to take place virtually by zoom as does our weekly collective worship with Revd Liz at St Nicholas’ Church. We are continuing to use innovative ideas to ensure we can still hold the much loved school and community events throughout the year.

We look forward to a film night and Christmas events with a difference next half term. This will include our traditional Class 1’s Christmas Nativity which will be pre-recorded for all to enjoy. Children have still managed to raise funds for the Macmillan coffee morning, contribute to the Foodbank as part of our virtual Harvest Festival and Class 3 participated in a road cycling safety course.

Is your child due to start School in September 2021? Parents of children due to start school in September 2021 are welcome to arrange a visit for a personal tour of the school by Miss Bennett, our Headteacher. To arrange a visit please email the school or phone Mrs Dixon in the school office.

Apple Tree Nursery We have some spaces for January 2021 starters. If you would like further information, please contact the school office.

VILLAGE REMEMBRANCE Please join us on Wednesday 11th November, 2020 at 10:45am for our short Service of Remembrance and wreath-laying at the War Memorial outside St Nicholas’ Church, Husthwaite

St Nicholas, Husthwaite : Husthwaite Parish Council

The Methodist Chapel

Please respect Covid social-distancing rules – there will be enough space on the pavement, on the roadside opposite and on the Green for the numbers typically attending

Current state of church buildings access Current opening periods are as follows:

Brandsby - closed except for scheduled worship. Please contact wardens for access. Carlton Husthwaite - TBC Coxwold - open daily Crayke - Sunday 1pm - 4pm; Thursday 9am to 1pm Husthwaite - Sunday 9am - 1pm; Wednesday 2pm to 6pm Wass - currently closed Yearsley - opening soon – contact John Foster for details

Most of our church communities do not have the capacity to clean the church daily so the alternative is to have a window of 72 hours between opening periods. Please be patient as we work within government rules and church guidelines. Opening times will be posted on noticeboards outside churches, on bylandchurches.net and on A Church Near You. Please contact your churchwarden (contact details on page 15). 16 We will Remember them 80 years on… This year we’ve been remembering the Battle of Britain, described by Winston Churchill in August 1940 as ‘one of the decisive battles of the war… never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.’ It was a dramatic turning point in the history of the Second World War. The occasions for Remembrance this month will provide us times of gratitude for what was achieved in the darkest moments of war.

However, this year we are very aware of our own struggles with the worldwide Covid-19 pandemic. We face an unseen enemy, but the effects on our lives and society are almost as devastating as world war.

Remembering is not just about focusing on past events. It is also about making present past events, as we give thanks for all that took place. The Battle of Britain was fought by the Few and won in the skies over the Channel. In our battle with the virus, we can call to mind the victory of Jesus: ‘Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, descended from David.’ (2 Timothy 2:8). Jesus secured the victory of death by His cross and resurrection, so that we don’t need to fear death, but trust in His loving purposes for our lives.

Currently we can’t see clearly what the future holds for us; it may be very different from what we might expect. However, we can pray for God’s will to be done and that we will play our part, just as each of those airmen did so many years ago.

‘They shall grow not old as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them.’

O Lord, as we enter the season of Autumn, We are mindful of creation’s last hurrah, Of taste and smell and sight, Before it is blanketed in winter’s protection. In our transitory uncertain world The familiarity of the seasons is comforting. Yet creation is but a foretaste of the heavenly realms. We have glimpsed the glorious in Jesus your Son Who accented life with eternity And heralded hope that orientates our lives.

Help us O Lord to see your provision Laid out before us in joy and in sorrow, When we are sure and when life seems uncertain. For seasons come and seasons go, But your love is constant and true. Amen

Photo by Aaron Burden on Unsplash 18 A Goldfinch for Christmas September’s Village Link included an article by the Revd Michael Burgess, reprinted from Parish Pump, about Raphael’s painting “Madonna of the Goldfinch” in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. This stirred some memories. The painting is far from unique in linking the birth of Christ to the goldfinch with its red (blood-soaked) head. There are literally hundreds of renaissance paintings dating from the 15th and 16th centuries that pick up this pre-figuring of Easter. Most, but not all of them, are by Italian painters. Photo by Roo I became interested in the iconography of these paintings over twenty years ago when living in Birstwith in Nidderdale. I wrote a carol about the birth of Christ and a goldfinch, and Philip Wilby, the husband of our vicar, and then Professor of Musical Composition at Leeds University, set it to music. My wife and I and Phil and Wendy Wilby were at Oxford at the same time, but we had never met until we moved to Birstwith in 1995. As we became friends, and started chatting, we realized that, even though we had not actually met at Oxford, we had sung in the same choir together! Strange how small a world we live in. The carol was the first of a number of commissions Phil and I have worked on together, and in many ways it remains my favourite. Because one of his daughters was an accomplished flautist Phil set it with a beautiful flute accompaniment and, because the Birstwith church choir was not of the best, most of the words were set to be sung by a solo tenor with a very short choir chorus at the end of each verse (and, to be honest, even this, the choir never quite mastered!).

Here are the words: Gentle virgin with her son, Goldfinch, do not trouble him Resting now, her victory won. Who has just been born. Tears of joy still fill her eyes. And make his mother mourn. Soon enough for mother's sighs. Gentle bird that flutters near him, Goldfinch, do not trouble him Can't it wait, your message grim? Who has just been born. Let him have his day of rest, And make his mother mourn. Soon enough his Easter test.

19 Gentle baby, Father's son, Goldfinch, do not trouble him Sleeping quiet, his duty done. Who has just been born. Here on earth to save us all And make his mother mourn. By making good our foolish fall.

The carol has been recorded by the choir of Trinity College Oxford (Philip Wilby Lincoln Windows, GMCD 7236) on a compilation of some of Phil’s varied and wonderful music. But if, as Christmas approaches, anyone would just like to listen to the carol, let me know by e-mail to [email protected]

Reverse Advent Calendars As you might guess from the name, these work the other way round from the usual ones, with giving being the aim, rather than receiving. Whether we are adults or children, giving to others makes us happy and this seems a particularly good year to give this idea a whirl and keep alive the spirit of generosity of which we have seen so much. There are lots of ideas online – Google “reverse advent calendars” – and see what appeals to you and your family. It might be putting a food item in a box each day to take to the foodbank, it might be putting some money in a pot each day to give to your favourite charity, there might be someone in your village who is alone and would appreciate a Christmas box that you could put something in each day. UNICEF, for example, have one that you can buy online with proceeds going to their work overseas. Each day behind the window is a picture of the vital items you have contributed to and of the people you have helped.

Happy Advent!

20 In the Midst of the Garden – XIII

So what did happen to our herb garden outside the back door? Did we put in raised beds? Did we resolve our difficulties or come to blows? Fear not. All is well. We looked at the area, talked about it and decided in the end that we couldn’t get rid of the mint languishing in an old sink in the far corner but that otherwise raised beds were the sensible answer.

But then we reached the position common to all gardeners of our age; the work was really beyond us. So who was going to clear the area, make the raised beds and gravel the rest of it? After a time our minds went back a few months when we happened to meet in Easingwold our old Husthwaite friends, Alan and Juliet, who had moved there and invited us back to coffee. In their garden a gentleman called Selwyn was shaping up one corner and when he left he gave us a cheerful smile and his card.

Let’s give him a try, we thought, and sent him a message. We wanted him to do not only the raised beds but also the clearing of one large flower bed and another smaller one, turfing them over to make our garden a little easier to handle. He came to inspect it all, gave us his quote shortly afterwards and within a month had the sturdy ‘sleepers’, the new soil and the gravel. The turf will come later, he told us, because we needed to await the wetter weather. By the end of September it was all completed beautifully. On his last day here we asked him, a little apologetically, if he could sometime remove an apple tree we no longer required and provide a new 6-yard wooden edging to our lawn. He completed both the same day!

There’s only one drawback. For the sake of access I have had to cut the bottom off our green bay tree. It’s still a green ice-cream but more stick now and less ice-cream.

21 Husthwaite Gardening Club

There will be no meetings of the Gardening Club for the foreseeable future, indeed it is unlikely that we will be able to meet as a club this season. However, members should, by now, have received information about discounted seeds and it is hoped that we will be able to have some form of annual plant sale in 2021, so please keep propagating.

Anyone interested in becoming a member of the club and benefitting from the various. Discounts available should contact Simon Eedle, Chairman at [email protected] or 07970 246033. Hopefully our world will begin to find a way back to normality and our club can once again be the sociable meeting point for those with an interest in all things gardening.
