  • A WALK in TEDDINGTON: 1 Start and Finish at St Mary with St Alban
    A WALK IN TEDDINGTON: 1 Start and finish at St Mary with St Alban Church The old village of Teddington stretched from the river to the railway bridge, which was the site of the village pond through which the railway was built in the early 1860s. The church of St Mary (1) was the old parish church, parts dating from the 16th century. During the incumbency of the Rev Stephen Hales (1709-61) much rebuilding was carried out, the north aisle and the tower being added. The church was too small for the increasing population and in the 19th century more enlargements were carried out until a new church seemed to be the only solution. So the church of St Alban the Martyr (2) was built on the opposite side of the road. The building, which is in the French Gothic style on the scale of a cathedral, was opened in July1896. However, plans were over-ambitious and the money ran out before the west end of the nave was completed. When the new church was opened the old one was closed, but not everybody liked the new church so St Mary’s was repaired and services were held in both churches until 1972. By this time the number of worshippers had diminished and running expenses had risen so much that two churches could no longer be maintained. St Alban’s became redundant and was to be pulled down. Vandals damaged what remained of the internal fittings and part of the copper roof was taken before the destruction was stopped.

We have seen a further increase in the number of people sleeping rough this year and a steep increase in the number of people struggling with other types of homelessness. The proportion of our clients with complex health and social care needs has increased again and we are concerned by the rising number of street homeless women and young people in our services. In a context of continued funding cuts across the homelessness sector, we are pleased that our income has remained consistent this year. This allows us to continue to deliver our strategic aims of helping the most vulnerable people in our community effectively – people who have often failed to engage with alternative support and who struggle to access mainstream services.

  • Diocese of Oxford)
    CHURCH BUILDINGS COUNCIL Casework policy and precedents December 2020 Context The policies and precedents set out below have all arisen from casework considered by the Council at its recent meetings. They show how it has approached various policy matters and practical questions and are recorded by the Council to guide future decisions. They are published for the information of Diocesan Advisory Committees, and for the benefit of parishes considering changes to buildings. They help to indicate how the Council will approach matters and the matters that the Council will consider in forming its advice. Decisions over proposals for works to a church building are taken according to the framework of the Duffield Questions as modified by the Court of Arches over Penshurst (See http://www.churchcare.co.uk/churches/guidance-advice/making-changes-to-your- building/duffield-question). The purpose of the questions is to assess if a proposal will cause harm to a building and, if the answer is yes, if the harm is justified by the need for the proposed works. In the context of a church building due regard must be had to the church as a centre of worship and mission. Benefits to the worship and mission of the church can be used to show need for works that cause some degree of harm to the building. Although few cases considered by the Council will proceed to a hearing in open court, where the use of this framework is maybe most obvious, it informs how the Council approaches matters that are referred to it. Some of the principles below will already be familiar.

  • Letter from the Chair
    LETTER FROM THE CHAIR From Halloween to Christmas and New Year this is a very busy time for all of us. Remembrance Sunday was well attended and a wreath was laid by Geoff Howland on behalf of the Society at the War Memorial. He cleaned up our Poppy Memorial in Elmfield Gardens which provides a focal point of remembrance in the High Street and is particularly apt as this year is the centenary of the Battle of Passchendaele. Did you notice all the huge red poppies on lamp posts throughout the town put up by Shane Thompson of Holmes & Daughters and the Royal British Legion? Next year Shane means to turn the whole town red! Some of us have changed our roles in the Society. Judy Asher is now maintaining the website and has handed Minuting over to Nick Picton. Photo journalist Peter Denton has joined us as Vice Chairman. Most importantly as you will read overleaf we are saying goodbye and thanks for all the good tidings to Donald Bell who has raised the standard of our quarterly magazine hugely and will be extremely hard to replace. If you would like to step into his shoes please get in touch with me. Teddington800 comes to a close but leaves behind wonderful memories, lots of new friends made and new members for the Society. Huge congratulations to Anne McTear and the Organising Committee. We'll give a round up of their events and successes next time. Meanwhile our History Banners will go on show next year. A tour de force by Paddy Ching with input from Ken Howe, John Sheaf, Pieter Morpurgo and me they've been much admired at the NPL, the Landmark and the Library.

The number of pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds is lower than average, as is the number of pupils from ethnic minority backgrounds or whose first language is not English. The number of pupils with Special Educational Needs and/or disabilities has risen in the last few years, but is still below the national average. The school is linked to two parish churches, St Mary’s with St Alban’s and St Peter and St Paul. The long-serving headteacher now shares the headship with the deputy headteacher. The distinctiveness and effectiveness of St Mary’s and St Peter’s as a Church of England school are outstanding The school’s Christian vision of ‘life in all its fullness’ is lived out across the whole school, and results in pupils who achieve highly and treat each other with compassion. Inclusive and varied collective worship helps every member of the school community reflect on their lives and deepen their spirituality.
