Here, he let out most of it, and it was known as Parsonage or Letters of the rector’s family at the same period Glebe or Rectory Farm. show that finding a suitable person to lease the farm was a continual headache for the rector. By a happy chance, we have some information about Parsonage Farm in 1819, when one James Parsonage Farm featured in the Surrey Advertiser 6 advertise your business both online @ www.cranleighmagazine.co.uk and on this page CRANLEIGH MAGAZINE

Main Picture: Sketch map of 1913. Pink is the land of Parsonage Farm which was being sold; deeper pink denotes the farm buildings and yard. They are just north of Ewhurst Road. Notice the footpath going east to west which is still in constant use. It crosses St Nicolas Avenue and goes beside the cemetery.

Left: A page in James Puttock’s ledger book about Parsonage Farm in 1819 in 1916, when an elderly farmworker fell from a hayrick he was building. He was taken to the Vil- lage Hospital, but died four days later. But where precisely were the Parsonage Farm buildings? Nobody seemed to know. Surprisingly, the deeds of a house in St Nicolas Avenue supplied the answer. An Act of Parliament of 1888 made it legal for a parish to sell some of its glebe land and continued on page 8 advertise your business both online @ www.cranleighmagazine.co.uk and on this page 7 CRANLEIGH MAGAZINE

Above: Ordnance Survey map of 1871/4 reinvest the proceeds in other assets, notably gov- ernment stock. In 1913 some of Cranleigh’s glebe land including part of Parsonage Farm was sold by the rector to Sir Charles Chadwyck-Healey of Wy- phurst. The map accompanying this sale reveals that the farmhouse was on Ewhurst Road.

Knowing the location of the farmhouse enables us to identify it on the 1871/4 Ordnance Survey map, where it is shown but not named. It has been cir- cled in red on the map given here. Ewhurst Road is called, rather delightfully, ‘Bedlam Lane’. The more respectable, but less evocative, modern name replaced it by 1891. It is interesting to see the Pound, shown as a little square structure, next to the brook (Cranleigh Waters) and south of the track that became Mead Road: this was a lock-up for any stray animals found wandering in the village. A brewery is marked next to the White Hart public house. This was Bruford’s Brewery that within the next few years moved to a more prominent site opposite the Obelisk.

The end came for Parsonage Farm in 1922, when a serious fire broke out. Mr Bert Lade, the butcher, was sitting in the office of his shop in Ewhurst Road and the Guildford Fire Brigade was called also. The on a Monday afternoon, when he noticed flames blaze soon spread to other haystacks, and was rising from a haystack across the road, and raised only 12 feet from engulfing two cottages (nos. 3-4 the alarm.

But, as the Surrey Bird Club chair Eric Soden has reported (Surrey Bird Atlas 2007-2012), this bird is one of several long- distance migrants wintering in West Africa’s humid zone that are showing a steep population decline.

This suggests the cause is to be found in their wintering grounds or on migration. It might not all be our fault.

My latest sighting here was 27th September, so you have hopefully got more than another three months to find one. Spotted Flycatcher (Muscicapa striata) We are not the only ones to witness this bird’s decline. As an official ‘red-listed’ species it has the highest conservation priority. Its numbers are down throughout its European range and there has been a national fall of 88% since 1970 including a 50% drop between 1995 and 2010.

Violette Szabó Special Operations Executive iolette Szabó was born on 26 June 1921 in Leval- lois-Perret, Hauts-de-Seine, France, the daughter of Charles and Reine (née Leroy) Bushell. Violette tookV her father’s British nationality, since Charles Bushell was an Englishman who, as a soldier, had met his wife in France during the First World War.

Some three years after Violette’s birth in France the family returned to England and Charles worked as a driv- er for his father’s bus company. After only a brief stay, however, the family returned to France and, money and employment being difficult, the children were placed with relatives who could care properly for them. Violette stayed with her aunt in the village of Noyelles-sur-Mer, while her brother was placed with another relative.

Charles Bushell walking with Violette and his wife Reine in Burnley Road London 1924 It was only in 1932 that both children returned to England to join their parents who had left France several years earlier for Mr. Bushell to work as a used car dealer. By this time, two more brothers had been born and the family moved to the Brixton/Stockwell borders in south London. continued on page 14 Behind enemy lines . . . 12 advertise your business both online @ www.cranleighmagazine.co.uk and on this page CRANLEIGH MAGAZINE Main picture: The field, where Lieutenant Fester and his crew dropped Violette by parachute from a USAAF B-24 Liberator on the night of 7/8 June 1944 on her second mission.

Growing up with four brothers made Violette something of a tomboy, but she left school at the age of 14 to work in a French corsetière in South Kensington. She was dis- missed when, after a disagreement at home with her father, she ran away to France to see her aunt. When she returned, she worked as a perfume saleswoman in the Bon Marché store in Brixton, a job she held until, after war broke out, she joined the Land Army. After picking strawberries in Fareham for a spell, she returned to Stockwell, determined to do more to support the war effort.

Violette playing with her daughter Tania looked after by a woman in north-west London. When her grief over Etienne’s death turned to a burning desire for revenge, Violette therefore had the opportunity to put herself forward for a more active role in the war.

It is not clear exactly how Violette came into contact with French Section of the Special Operations Executive (SOE), though a note in her SOE file suggests that she was recommended by another agent. French Section lost no time in interviewing her and she was accepted for training and assessment in July 1943.

Violette undertook training in anti-aircraft gunnery and was posted in December 1941 as Gunner Szabó, to 481 Heavy Anti-Aircraft Battery. After only a few weeks, however, she discovered she was pregnant and, released from the ATS, she found a rented flat in Notting Hill where in June 1942 she gave birth to her daughter, Tania.

With a return to the ATS in mind, Violette found a nursing home for Tania in Havant, and waited for Etienne to come home again on leave. But in October 1942, Etienne was wounded, and then killed, in North Africa. When word eventually reached Violette she was working at the Rotax factory in Morden, Surrey.

While he and Maloubier had been back in England, however, a wave of arrests had devastated the circuit and Liewer therefore wanted to return as soon as possible to both discover what had gone wrong and to determine whether SALESMAN could be revived.

Two days after her arrival, Violette was charged by Liewer with making a trip of some 150 kilometres to set up a meeting with another French Section agent. Given that this was a long journey, Violette was offered a lift with her bicycle for the first part of the journey in a car driven by Jacques Dufour, a locally-recruited member of the circuit. Liewer’s later report confirms that Violette took with her a Sten gun and ammunition for the car journey, despite the fact that this would compromise her if stopped by the enemy. Together with another Resistance fighter, Jean Barriaud, Violette and Dufour were approaching the village of Salon-la-Tour when they were confronted by a road block manned by three German soldiers who waved them to halt.

But before a plan could be worked up, Violette was taken from Limoges to Paris where she was interrogated at the German Secret Police headquarters in the avenue Foch and later moved to Fresnes prison

On or around 8 August 1944, Violette was among a group of seven young women taken to the Gare de l’Est for de- portation by train to Germany. Two other French Section agents were with Violette in the group – Lilian Rolfe and Denise Bloch. They travelled as far as Sarrebrücken in the same train as a large group of male SOE agents being similarly deported and Violette brought great credit to herself when, during an air attack on the train, she and another young woman took the opportunity to crawl along the train’s corridor and deliver much-needed water to the men. The senior officer of the male agents, who was to survive incarceration and a death sentence at Buchen- wald concentration camp, made sure that he recorded Violette’s action when he returned to England.

From Sarrebrücken the women agents were sent on to the women’s concentration camp at Ravensbrück, which they reached on 22 August 1944.

Violette was never seen again by the camp’s inmates and her fate was only discovered during investigations in 1945 and 1946 into the fates of SOE agents. During his interrogation, Ravensbrück’s second-in-command, SS-Oberstürmfuhrer Johann Schwarzhüber, stated that Violette and her two companions were recalled from Konigsberg following receipt from Berlin of an order for A Sten gun similar to the one used by Violette their execution. One evening (believed to be between 25 January and 5 February 1945) they were brought out of the bunker and into the courtyard adjacent to it and the continued on page 18 “ I'd play football in the winter fought and gave her life for . . . and cricket in the summer ” advertise your business both online @ www.cranleighmagazine.co.uk and on this page 17 CRANLEIGH MAGAZINE you and me. continued from page 17 crematorium. Reports suggest that Violette alone was well-enough to walk unaided. The execution order from Berlin was read out by camp commandant SS-Sturm- bannführer Fritz Sühren, before an SS sergeant named Schult (or Schulter), shot each girl, brought forward singly, through the back of the neck using a pistol. The camp’s doctor certified death and the bodies were immediately taken into the crematorium and burned. Violette was 23 years old when executed.

Violette is the most memorialised of the French Sections agents who gave their lives. She is officially commemorated on the Brookwood Memorial to the Missing 1939- 1945, near Woking. Other commemorations abound, though not always accurately. The naming of Szabó Crescent in the village of Normandy, near Guildford, was in the belief that it was at nearby Wanborough Manor that Violette had been among the many French Section agents trained and assessed there. In reality, Violette went to Winterfold, rather than Wanborough Manor. Tania at home after the death of her mother © Rex Features 1947

There is a modest museum in the house in Wormelow, Herefordshire where Violette spent some of her holidays with relatives and in London a bust of Violette graces the SOE memorial unveiled in 2009 on the Albert Embank- ment, opposite the Houses of Parliament. A blue plaque marks the former Bushell family home in Burnley Road, Stockwell and a colourful mural nearby depicts her life.

The local authority, Lambeth, have a plaque in their Town Hall in Brixton and in Stockwell the Council named a social housing block ‘Violette Szabó House’. Her name is also listed on the FANY memorial outside St. Paul’s Church in Knightsbridge.

Thanks to the 1956 book ‘Carve Her Name With Pride’ and the subsequent film of the same title, Violette became one of the best-known of French Section’s agents.

This was confirmed in 1946 and was one of only three such decorations given to French Section’s young women, the others being Odette Sansom and Noor Inayat Khan.

Want to avoid it? Swap sandwiches for a chicken salad without the sugar rich salad dressing! Drink an Americano or water instead of a latte. Don’t choose fresh orange juice either as, although it’s fruit, without the fibre in it there will be a spike in your blood sugar and then you get the crash later.

During the war when rationing was in force, sugar was at a minimum. Since then there has been an explosion in the confectionery market and a mas- sive change in our shopping habits. Foods now have sugar or salt added to them in order to hit the ‘sweet spot’ in the brain, making us eat more even when we aren’t really hungry. High blood sugar triggers insulin in the body and research clearly shows that high insulin is a key player in ageing and weight control, diabetes, heart disease and cancer. As well as controlling blood sugar, raised insulin triggers an increase in cholesterol produc- tion in the liver. It also makes the walls of blood vessels contract so that blood pressure goes up. This action stimulates the release of fats called tri- glycerides which are linked to a raised risk of heart disease and diabetes.

We would do well to heed the simple advice given to our parents/grandparents during the war so that we too could say that we enjoy ’stubborn good health’ as a nation!

So what can we do about this?

Opening a window would be the first step, although that’s obviously problematic depending on the time of year. Throw out products meant to be sprayed directly onto your body, suncreams, deodorant etc. and instead choose creams and roll on versions. Avoid air freshener products altogether, again open a window instead. While air fresh- eners appear to be making your home feel cleaner they actually contribute to rather than reduce indoor air pollution. As for cleaning products, choose non-toxic alternatives that often do as good a job if not better than their chemical laden alternatives.

'An Extraordinary Book by an Extraordinary Daughter about her Extraordinary Mother' - George Szwejkowski (Waterstones Reviewer)

pecial agent Violette Szabo was one of the most outstanding women who worked behind enemy lines during the Second World War. The daughter of an SEnglish father and French mother, and widow of a French army officer, she was bold and audacious, conducting sabotage missions, being entangled in gun battles and battling betrayal.

During a mission, she was captured by the Nazis, questioned, tortured, and deported to Germany where she was ultimately executed at Ravensbruck concentration camp.

`I fully understand how & why the book is written with such love & devotion, as Miss Szabo was such a beautiful, un- believably brave woman.' - erikduckworth (Amazon Reviewer)

Violette was one of the first women ever to be awarded the George Cross, and her absorbing life has been immortal- ised in film and on the page.

'Written from the heart of a daughter who never really knew her mother. Incredibly moving but also fantastically well re- searched and exciting.' - Linda Pollitt (Amazon Reviewer)

Transcribed by her daughter, Young, Brave and Beauti- ful shows the woman and mother behind this astonishing hero.

It doesn't start out like that. For our less experienced swimmers, they may swim once or Cranleigh Amateur twice a week. This gradually increases as they move up Swimming Club through the training squads. The health benefits of swimming are obvious but other benefits are sometimes overlooked. For parents, fitting in the time commitment alongside school and other activities might seem daunting. In fact, it helps teach the children time-management and self-discipline. My experience is that nearly all the club's swimmers want to swim more. Taking part in an activity so regularly fosters a real sense of belonging. A sense of community and team, something which is often missing in our society. It is also a feeling that cascades to parents and supporters as well. You only have to come to a gala to see that for yourself.

As inevitable as the passing of time is our swimmers competing in galas. The venue most recently was the Arun Leisure Centre in Bognor, for Littlehampton's Easter Open Meet. Quite why we were in Bognor, for Littlehampton's gala no-one was sure. It certainly wasn't for the luxury of the facilities. As a relative newcomer to swimming galas, I have noticed a pattern. A very friendly and welcoming FAMILY RUN FUNERAL DIRECTORS & MONUMENTAL MASONS atmosphere. Extreme heat. And a chronic lack of space Qualified, experienced staff available 24 hours a day every day that breeds familiarity with other spectators! 01483 276500 In spite of the energy-sapping conditions, our fantastic Dobbe House, Ewhurst Road, Cranleigh, GU6 7AA swimmers performed brilliantly. Out of the 37 swims, the www.familyfuneralservices.co.uk team achieved 20 new personal bests. Martha Horstead Our Family Serving Your Family and Will O'Brien, taking part in their first galas, gave two great swims.

While all our swimmers deserve recognition, at the top end, club records were set by Lana Howells-Davies and Connie Emmett. Lana's swim in the 200m Backstroke saw her qualify for the South East Regional Championships. This added to an impressive medal showing: 8 Gold medals (Callum Stevens, Lana and Connie), 4 Silver medals (Lucy Andrews, Lana and Connie) and 3 Bronze medals (Yasmina Voogd, Lucy and Lana).

For many swimmers, galas like Littlehampton are a huge highlight. When galas come around they provide a focal point. Somewhere for the swimmers to channel their ener- gies towards doing the best they can. Somewhere where they can measure the results of the hard work in training.

When I tell people that my daughter swims, they are often surprised at the level of commitment involved. She is training at the pool 5 evenings a week, not even having reached 62 advertise your business both online @ www.cranleighmagazine.co.uk and on this page CRANLEIGH MAGAZINE
