From Revd Graham Hedger

Harvest celebrations in our churches will be muted this year. With restrictions on singing hymns, whether indoors or outside the well-known cheerful hymns will be sung in our hearts as we celebrate the harvest home. Despite the vagaries of the British weather, we do still have a harvest to be thankful for. I hope that in many and different ways we will give thanks for all the hard work of farmers, and all those involved in food research, production and distribution. Our Zoom service on 4th October will be a special service to celebrate harvest. Why not join in? One of my favourite harvest hymns can be sung throughout the year. Its first line is ‘Great is thy faithfulness’ and the hymn celebrates that, come what may, we can experience the faithfulness and loving care and provision of God. Mindful of the Covid regulations which make the gifts of fresh produce difficult and mindful of the pressures that many foodbanks are operating under, this year we are asking for financial gifts that can also be passed on. There are two food banks operating in our area. If you are unable to attend a harvest service in one of our churches then you could give direct to a food bank. FIND (Families in Need): Donations by cheque should be made payable to ‘FIND (Families in Need) Ltd.’ with a covering note stating whether the donation is for the central fundraising account, foodbank or rough sleepers support. Please send cheques to the FIND office: FIND (Families In Need), PO BOX 1029 , IP1 9XJ or go to their website to make a donation direct; https://www.findipswich.org.uk/support-us In East Suffolk, LCC Foodbank; Sort code 40-52-40; Acc no 00031694 Our regular pattern of services continues to be a service at 9.30 on Zoom. If you would like to join, please contact Bill Clarke [email protected] . At 11.00 each Sunday we also have a service of Holy Communion somewhere in the benefice. In addition, we hold occasional services such as morning or evening prayer in churches following the traditional Book of Common Prayer (BCP), and a mid-week service of Holy Communion twice a month in on a Wednesday, again using the Book of Common Prayer. Our Taizé service on YouTube continues each month and we are very grateful to Wendy and Alister Gourlay for all their working in producing this. Towards the end of October, in the church’s year we enter into the season of remembering, All Hallows or All Saints (November 1st) being the day when we remember those who have served God in the past and also the triumph of Jesus over death. We have churches within the benefice dedicated to ‘All Saints’. The following day is All Souls, when we have traditionally remembered all who have died. Remembrance Sunday in November completes the cycle of events. In the usual course of events we aim to hold services on all these days. This year the act of remembering loved ones will be even more poignant, as many families have been unable to hold funeral and thanksgiving services involving all their friends and family due to Covid 19 restrictions. We are still working on how we might use All Souls Day within the benefice to help people continue on their journey of grief and recovery. There will be more in the November magazine.

4 COMMUNITY NEWS

As Parliament returned earlier this month, we continue to live in uncertain times and this summer has certainly been very different. One of the things which I have missed the most is being out and about and meeting so many members of the local community at the annual village fetes and community events.

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, a great many of our businesses have been impacted – across all sectors. With the hospitality industry being greatly impacted, I’ve been especially impressed to see so many examples of businesses adapting and innovating to offer new services supporting our rural communities. For example, during the forced closures of lockdown, a number of pubs across Central Suffolk and North Ipswich have adapted to offer pop-up grocery stores or take away dining. These pop-up shops and take away dining outlets proved incredibly popular with local residents, meaning that they didn’t have to venture too far from home to shop locally and source top quality, local ingredients. Now that lockdown has eased, many of those businesses who had adapted are continuing to offer the add-on services and customers are continuing to support them, valuing the important contribution they make to the local community.

As we’ve come out of lockdown, businesses and consumers have readjusted and early signs of economic recovery are encouraging. Our towns and villages are at last seeing increased footfall and sales are slowly beginning to recover. Although many consumers are still being cautious, our businesses have gone to great lengths to ensure they are COVID-19 secure, giving consumers confidence that they can shop safely.

That said, it is important to remember that the virus has sadly not gone away, and we all have a part to play in stopping the spread of the virus whilst also supporting our local economy. Good hand hygiene is particularly important; when out and about, if you can’t easily wash your hands, remember to take along an anti-bacterial hand sanitiser and wear a face covering when indoors. Keeping at least 2 metres apart from people who are not from your own household helps to protect you and others and reduce the spread of the virus.

In closing, I would like to put on record my thanks to all of those who have worked tirelessly during these recent months – our teachers, frontline public sector workers, NHS staff and community carers, along with the army of volunteers who stepped in to help deliver food or prescriptions and looking out for others.

5 MARLESFORD MATTERS www.marlesford.com http://marlesford.suffolk.cloud

Mobile library: 21st October at the post box from 14.25 to 14.40 ***** Normally St Andrew’s is open twice a week for private worship on Sundays from 11.00 – 6.00 and on Wednesday from 8.30 – 6.00 but please note that because we have the funeral of Mrs Anna Knights on October 2nd at 2.00pm, St Andrew’s will be closed on Wednesday, September 30th and Sunday, October 3rd.

On 1st November we are very pleased that Bishop Mike will be preaching at the Holy Communion Service in St. Andrew’s, Marlesford. This will be at 11.00am. In order to follow all the rules on social distancing we ask that anyone who wishes to come contacts any of the following to reserve a place. Revd. Graham Hedger – [email protected] 01473 737280.

Annual Parochial Church Meeting Marlesford’s meeting took place on Thursday 16th September in church with masks and social distancing to the fore. Afterwards, Graham commented that it was the quickest one he had ever attended. Lord Marlesford and Nan Waterfall were elected as Churchwardens and the new PCC consists of Jackie Cousins (secretary) Carol Cooke (treasurer), Roger Waterfall, Brenda Lavender and Julie Barham all of whom served last year too. Imogen Hayward and Diana Howard both resigned and were thanked for their great contributions to the PCC. To replace them we elected two brand new members, Andy Cousins and Andrew Quartermain, so our PCC is up to strength and we look forward to dealing with whatever the next year throws at us. Nan Waterfall Suffolk Churches Ride and Stride This was an interesting year, in terms of when visitors came. For the past couple of years, no- one has visited St Andrew’s after 2.00pm, with most folks arriving before noon. In contrast, this year our first cyclist appeared just before 11.00, which was much later than usual, and there was a mini rush of five cyclists before the turn of the hour! To kick the afternoon off to a good start, our only walkers arrived - two familiar faces, Kaye Dawe and Linda Ginn. Two cyclists appeared in each of the next two-hour slots and the day rounded off with six visitors in the final hour. All in all, just over twenty cyclists came to Marlesford, which is considerably more than in the past couple of years. I wonder if more folks got used to cycling during lockdown and so the figures for this year’s event went up. Nan Waterfall Welcome Hannah Mezals and Jami Cooper have moved into Parget Cottage, Marlesford from Clacton on Sea.

CAMPSEA ASHE VILLAGE HALL Notice board Vikki Anne school of performing arts is hoping to restart classes at the hall in October for after school and possibly some adult sessions too. She has a Facebook page and her email is [email protected] The hall has been cleaned thoroughly and rough plans have been drawn up for improving the toilets. The simplest design would be to turn the gents into a disabled toilet and the ladies into unisex cubicles and we would love to hear any thoughts on this. This idea would mean we would be able to keep the store room as it is. Email [email protected] or give me a ring on 01728746376. Thank you! Kate

On Sunday 4th October, there will be a Benefice service held at Campsea Ashe, starting at 11am. We are hoping that the church will be decorated for Harvest, even though, sadly, this year, we won’t be holding our own Harvest service. However, the service on the 4th will have a Harvest theme. After the service, we are going to have a socially-distanced lunch! Please bring your own food and drink (sorry)! And, depending on the weather, we can eat either in the church or the churchyard. Looking forward to seeing you all.

The Annual Parochial Church Meeting is due to be held on Friday 16th October at 9am in the Church.

The Suffolk Historic Churches Trust As you probably know, this charity exists to help Churches, Chapels and Meeting Houses in Suffolk with their fabric repair costs. They have promised our Tower Repair Fund £10,000. The cycle ride, called “Suffolk Churches Ride and Stride”, takes place annually, this year on September 12th. I took part and thoroughly enjoyed myself, cycling along the country lanes, seeing all the detail of our beautiful countryside which is so often missed from the window of a car. I cycled 23 miles in total and visited 11 churches during the day. This is the second year I have used the Just Giving site to enable people to support the SHCT. I have already reached my target amount, but if you would like to make a donation, please look at: www.justgiving. com/fundraising/glenys-fear2.

But, praise be, we can continue with our regulated midweek communion service. Therefore, the 10.00am Wednesday Communion on 14th October will have a Harvest Theme when we shall be encouraging your support for the local foodbanks instead of leaving produce in the church.

10 HACHESTON HAPPENINGS continued

Suffolk Churches Ride and Stride, September 12th. Linda and I did it. We started out with some concern at 9am as a rather dark cloud was looming. We held our faith however and, as forecast, the weather turned out really comfortable for walking. Michael dropped us off at 9.10 at Brandeston Chapel and, using footpaths wherever possible, we walked on to Brandeston, Kettleburgh, Easton, Parham and Marlesford. We met a few fellow “Ride and Stride” Supporters on our way. Then, at about 2pm we arrived at Campsea Ashe, by which time our legs were feeling rather weary. However once refreshed with a delicious ice cream and a pot of tea from the Station House we made it back to Hacheston. That short leg was done in Michael’s car. Strangely, in all that time together Linda and I were never short of things to ponder on or talk about! (How strange!! Ed). Meanwhile, at Hacheston by the end of the day 18 visitors had signed in which is not very different from previous years. I am delighted to tell you that we raised £330. Once all is collected in the total goes to SHCT and then half is returned to our own All Saints. Thank you to everyone who sponsored us. Kaye Dawe

***** PARHAM VILLAGE HALL Notice board

The Hall management committee has reviewed the Government and Suffolk Acre guidance concerning the re-opening of the village hall and hope to be in a position to open the hall towards the end of September beginning of October. We are also looking for new members to sit on the Committee and assist us with the well governing of the Charity (The Parham Hut) which was set up to manage these private facilities for the benefit of the Local Community. The Charity is self-financing with income from our hirers and grants from National, County, District and local bodies. The commitment is mainly the attendance of Committee meetings which number about 7 to 10 over the course of a year and fund raising. Should you be interested to either join the Committee or assist with fund raising please contact me on 01728 724117 for an informal chat. Paul Goring Chairman The Parham Hut Charity No. 304807

The Annual Parochial Church Meeting will be held in the church at 10.00am on Thursday 22nd October

Parish Council News New Housing Development. The Parish Council discussed possible names for the new houses and suggestions were sent to the developer who has chosen ‘Flaxen Fields’ for the northern entrance and ‘Corrance Close’ for the southern entrance. The affordable houses are due to be completed in August 2021. The pavement outside the development has now been reconstructed and the bus stop will be going live shortly. The road will soon need to be closed to allow the mains gas system to be installed and there will be a diversion in place. This will hopefully be over October half term to minimise impact. We will post details of how local people can apply for the affordable houses as the work progresses and when we hear more from the developer. Councillor Update. Sadly, we lost James Rogers as a Councillor recently. We would very much like to thank James for all his years’ service to the Parish Council and for his help and enthusiasm. We have a vacancy for a Parish Councillor. Please contact the clerk if you are interested in applying. We next meet on Tuesday 10th November at 7.15pm in the village hall. All residents are welcome to attend. www.parham.suffolk.cloud [email protected]

12 PARHAM PAPERS continued Indian Summer Monday 14th September 2020 and Daphne and I were sitting outside in the gloaming, full glass in hand, enjoying the last of a wonderful, cloudless, summer-hot day. We had just heard the forecast and another, similar day was promised for the morrow, prompting my mind to fly back 80 years to that other Indian Summer day of 1940, when I was a mid-teenager, due to go back to boarding school for Lent term in a few days. Back then, we had said a thankful farewell to the last stragglers of the day’s raids. The All Clear sirens had sounded, hopefully promising a quiet night. Tomorrow, 15th September, would become Battle of Britain Day, did we but know it. The sirens sounded their wavering wailing quite early next morning, followed by the usual 20 minutes or so of silence, broken only by a squadron of our Hurricanes roaring over, heading south. Then they were there again, high up specks of lethal bombers, formation after formation, with vapour trails of attacking and defending fighters weaving circles and patterns all around. They were after our airfields again and so were unlikely to cause us any harm, so, in the manner of all youth, we were out to get the best souvenirs to take to school! German machine gun cases were good, bits of crashed Spits or Hurris not high on the list, but bits of ME 109, Dornier or Heinkel were gold dust! It was mid-afternoon that day, when, standing on our tennis court, we heard a loud roaring coming over and a great phalanx of Heinkel 111s appeared over the trees, very low, 50? 60? 70? – a lot anyway – with our boys trying to get amongst them. All day the raids kept coming over, and so many sent spinning down out of the crackling machine gun fire. Looking back now, it seems incredible that parents let us stand outside and watch, or even jump on our bikes to see if we could get to a crash site nearby, and all the while carry on household routine. But it was de rigueur to tune in to the 9 o’clock news. That evening we heard we had shot down 185 German planes for the loss of some 30 of ours. It was the climax. Malcolm MacNicol

Clockmakers of Parham Above the lower steps of the stairs in the tower of Parham church there is graffiti scratched into the stonework. It reads ‘William Mayhew aged 18 years in 1718.’ It has been lime washed over and is now difficult to read. Next to it there is a bold ‘W M 1717.’ These were almost certainly carved by William Mayhew, who was baptised in Parham in 1699. He was the third son of Henry Mayhew (died 1720), Clockmaker of Parham, who is believed to have worked and lived in Dial House having transferred his business from Hacheston. There is an example of his work in Christchurch Mansion in Ipswich and there used to be another in the Great White Horse Hotel in Ipswich, but since its closure I do not know where this clock is. Francis Mayhew (died 1730), also of Parham and a clockmaker, was the eldest son of Henry but there no known examples of his work still existing. Francis’ son, William (1725 to 1791), the nephew of the William Mayhew who carved his name in Parham Church, was also a clockmaker, initially in Parham but later moving to Woodbridge where he took on the shop of a deceased clockmaker. He was in his time a well-known and prolific maker, particularly of long case and act of parliament clocks. He also made watches, three of which are in the collection of the Ipswich Museum. Another Mayhew, clockmaker, Thomas, was living in Parham in 1710 but nothing more of him is known. Jos Slade

13 PARHAM PAPERS continued Old Documents. As Parham village Recorder I get all kinds of relics brought to me, for which I am always grateful – much better they were preserved in one of my boxes than thrown in the bin. One such recently was a Parish Magazine for a faraway parish, dated May 1943, price 2d. Of no interest to our parish EXCEPT, on page 4, amongst the Baptisms, is mention of one John Richard Bradfield! Malcolm MacNicol

North Green, Parham, Community-led Fibre Broadband The residents of North Green, Parham have been living with very poor broadband speeds in comparison to speeds widely available in and around the area, typically getting less than 2Mbps. Back in 2018 Openreach had plans to bring broadband to the green via a green box (PCP) but this did not materialise due to planning errors and with no alternative in sight I set about exploring the options for getting an improved connection to the green. I had heard about the Gigabit Voucher scheme, a scheme that provides government funding to areas with poor broadband infrastructure. North Green, being classed as a rural community, was able to claim the enhanced amount from the scheme as follows: Rural premises with broadband speeds of less than 30Mbps can use vouchers worth up to £3,500 for each small and medium- sized businesses (SMEs), and up to £1,500 per residential premise. The Gigabit vouchers are claimed by Openreach on our behalf to contribute to the installation cost of a gigabit-capable connection. Here is a brief step by step breakdown of the project: Eligibility check – First step is to check eligibility, this looks at planned work by Openreach or similar infrastructure providers, as well as current location and speeds: https://gosuperfastchecker.culture.gov.uk/ https://gigabitvoucher.culture.gov.uk/ https://www.betterbroadbandsuffolk.com Registration - North Green postcodes were eligible so I registered an interest in a community fibre partnership with Openreach and they emailed information and access to an online progress portal where details can be initially entered. Gathering data - Finding out the households interested in the scheme. Going around house to house compiling a list of names and addresses only at this stage, no commitment, only to get the rough numbers of interested households. On North Green there were 10 addresses interested in the scheme. Many of the households could be classed as SMEs so enabled the higher funding voucher. Ballpark cost - Openreach give an indicative cost based on their high-level view of the scheme. In our case the quoted price was £26500 and the vouchers were going to cover the cost so the residents would not be asked to contribute. Design and consultation- A meeting was held at Parham village hall, with a representative from Openreach and all available residents – good turnout. We discussed the finer details, and this was a good opportunity to ask questions and get a good understanding of the scheme and our project.

14 PARHAM PAPERS continued Proposal - This was a firmed-up quote and the final price Openreach which were going to seek to provide the infrastructure. This did not change much from the ballpark quote and the vouchers covered the scheme almost exactly. Contract – Every household then confirmed their voucher via an email link sent byDepartment for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport. The contract required the community to form a Community Interest Company (CIC): NORTH GREEN PARHAM COMMUNITY FIBRE CIC The signing of the contract was a click of a button Delivery – There was some negotiating between the Parham Parish Council (PPC) and Openreach (OR) as the initial proposal from OR was to put in 16 new poles. This was challenged by the PPC and thankfully OR agreed to mole-plough the fibre cables underground, so no new poles were required. – Well done PPC! I think the fact that this project was via a community led and funded scheme, enabled more input into the design and installation of the service. Work started mid May 2020 and was completed late August, this was not because there was work being carried out throughout, the physical work on the green was done quickly and without much disruption (just the odd cut phone cable;) Residents on the Green are now ordering their fibre service, this can be from any service provider and many will be connected early October. We now have access of up to 300Mbs BB speeds, with fibre BB packages starting from around £25 per month. Also, to note, although not all households signed up to the fibre scheme all households on North Green now have access to fibre BB. Jason Wood, North Green, Parham and PPC
