The Vicar's Letter The Vicar’s Letter The Vicarage, Waltham Road, (corner of Foliejohn Way) Woodlands Park Telephone 01628 822000 Dear Friends, When I was little, I could never understand the attitude of grown-ups to snow. Snow was fun. Snow was enjoyable. Snow gave you the opportunity to make snowmen, have snowball fights, or go tobogganing. And we didn’t get nearly enough of it. So when it snowed it was exciting. It was something to be welcomed with joy. But grown-ups didn’t seem to think so. They complained about it. They hoped it wouldn’t snow, and grumbled when it did. They thought it was a nuisance. Now I’ve grown up myself I can see both sides. I understand why many of us really don’t like the snow (however much we may say we want a ‘white Christmas’). I know the frustrations when bad weather means that we can’t do what we had planned to do, or when others can’t do what we were relying on them to do. And there are obvious problems for those whose jobs involve trying to get about or working outside, or who have a long commute. But if I’m honest, then I still side with the children. These last few weeks we have seen more snow than I think I have ever experienced before — certainly in my adult life. By the time you read this that may be just a memory, or we may have had yet more. But every time it’s happened, or been promised, then (whatever difficulties it has caused to my own plans) deep down I have had that frisson of excitement that I used to get as a child. THIS MAGAZINE Published bi-monthly, six times a year. Delivered free to all homes in White Waltham, Shottesbrooke and Woodlands Park. Freely available at church services. Given to all families at White Waltham School Articles for the next edition should be sent to: waltham.vicar@btinternet.com by 10 th March 2010 The magazines will be available by the last Sunday of the month. Shottesbrooke and White Waltham Parish Magazine Page 1 And I’ve got a sneaking suspicion that Jesus would too. He often commended children, and said that adults needed to be more like them, and I think this is the sort of thing that he meant. It is still fun to be the first to walk and leave footprints across a piece of virgin snow. It’s still fun to make snowmen and have (good-natured) snowball fights. There is a strange beauty to snow. And when I need to venture further afield then there is that added sense of adventure. To be sure, there are some (especially the elderly) for whom snow causes particular difficulties. Slippery pavements can be very dangerous, and ‘fuel poverty’ can make it hard for some to keep properly warm in the cold weather. We need to keep a special eye out for any neighbours who may be hit hard in these ways, and be ready to offer a helping hand. But if our boring adult lives have grown so full that we can’t cope with a little disruption from time to time, and enjoy the real but simple pleasures that snow can bring, then surely they’ve grown too full. Perhaps we need to clear some of the clutter out of our lives in order to free up time to stop, to be able to take the unexpected in our stride, and to be able just to be, and to enjoy the present moment. I think that’s at least part of what Jesus meant by ‘enjoying life to the full’. And I think that’s what Lent is meant to be about as well. So how about using this Lent to clear some of the clutter out of your life? You might be surprised at how much you find to enjoy as a result. David Andrew Thank You on behalf of the Events Team Thanks to everyone who helped and came along to the Shottesbrooke & White Waltham Chur ches Winter Bazaar on Saturday 21st November 2009. It was a most enjoyable day and we raised over £500. Thanks also to those involved with the Christmas concert on 14th December. It was a very enjoyable evening and we raised £403. The funds raised from both events will go towards the general upkeep of the church buildings and the churchyards.

Shottesbrooke and White Waltham Parish Magazine Page 4 Project Rainbow Update – January 2010 As you may know, there was an open hearing of the Consistory Court in October that was held in the Church. The purpose of that hearing was to enable the Chancellor to hear evidence and arguments for and against the Sunday School building that is planned for our Churchyard. He would then be able to decide whether or not to grant the church a Faculty (ecclesiastical permission) to build this building. Following that hearing the Barristers made their final submissions in writing (these are still available to view on the church website or you can speak to Tony Hill or Jenny Murphy to arrange to read a paper copy). Having read the Barristers’ final submissions, the Chancellor requested a further hearing that was held in London on Wednesday 16 th December. We have now received the Chancellor’s judgement and we are delighted to be able to report that the Chancellor has granted a Faculty to build this building, subject to the condition that the necessary funds have been raised before any further work is undertaken. For those who are interested, the full judgement is now available on the church website ( www.stmaryswhitewaltham.co.uk - follow the Consistory Court link on the Project Rainbow page), or, once again, you can contact Tony Hill or Jenny Murphy to read a paper copy if you don’t have access to the internet. (The judgement is quite long, but they key paragraphs come at the end – paragraphs 107-111.) The whole Project Rainbow team would like to offer their thanks to everyone who has given their support on this project; you have been a tremendous encouragement to us. But we are only half way there – we now need to raise the bulk of the funds required to build our Sunday School building. So please continue to pray for Project Rainbow and for all the hard work to come in organising and launching the main appeal. There will be a Project Rainbow Quiz Night on Saturday 13 March from 7.00p.m. The Quiz Night is open to teams of 4 - 6 people aged 10 years or over. The cost is £6 per person. For more details see the advert on page 4. We hope you can come along and join us!

    ASCOG HOUSE AND MEIKLE ASCOG, ISLE OF BUTE, ARGYLL AND BUTE The history of the Ascog demesne goes back further than either of the two houses on it. In 1312 Robert the Bruce is said to have given Ascog to the Bute family of Glass. In 1594, the estate, including a mill, Loch Ascog and Nether and Over Ascog, was bought by John Stewart of Kilchattan, a distant kinsman of the Stewarts of Bute who became Earls and later Marquesses of Bute. Ascog House - John Stewart may have built the first house at Ascog, replacing an older tower. Despite the date of 1678 above one of the dormer windows, the original Ascog House was built earlier than that. With its stair tower and cap-house, it is of a type commonly built around 1600. In addition, in the wall of the present kitchen is part of a grand chimneypiece. This belonged to a great hall whose floor and ceiling were both at a higher level than today. In 1673 John Stewart of Ascog, grandson of the first John Stewart, married Margaret Cunningharn and it is their initials that are engraved on the house. They must have carried out a major reconstruction, lowering the floors to create two main storeys, and adding the dormer windows. John Stewart was rich enough to lend the Earl of Bute £9,385 to help re-build Rothesay Castle after damage in the Civil War. He was also crowner or coroner of Bute from 1666-98. During the 18th century, the original mullion windows of Ascog House were enlarged and fitted with sash and casement frames.

  • Windsor & Maidenhead 1997-2011
    Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead Election Results 1997-2011 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to elections@plymouth.ac.uk. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election.
