Elsewhere in this magazine David has also written about the ‘Sunrise Communion’ at Maidford. I wish as we sat before the service, waiting to see who would appear, I had a camera with me, (or at least remembered to charge my phone!) to photograph the inside of the church and the way the sun streaming through the East window shone over the High Altar and onto the large crucifix set up in the chancel. We had placed the crucifix there on ‘Good Friday’ as part of the Good Friday Service and had dressed it in the symbols of the crucifixion- the nails, the crown of thorns etc. By Easter day, the crucifix had been redressed with flowers in place of nails, a garland of flowers in place of the crown of thorns, all symbolising ‘new life’ which is at the heart of the Easter message, that from the darkness of death, shone the new light of life. In the coming weeks the Christian Church celebrates another great festival, the festival of Pentecost, (or Whitsunday) which marks the gift of the Holy Spirit to the disciples and the birth of the Church, again a time of rejoicing and celebration. Traditionally there would have been Whitsunday festivals, walks and parties around the parishes and the communities would come together again in joyful celebration. In Derbyshire there was, and in some parts there still is, the tradition of ‘Well dressing’, when the wells in villages the common source of water so necessary for existence, would be dressed with flowers to highlight the importance of water as a vital sustenance of life. Today we might take the availability of water very much for granted, but without it nothing can grow, nothing can live, nothing can flourish. So it is with the Christian life, the Church cannot function without the gift of the Holy Spirit, that unseen power of God that breathes through it sustains it and empowers it. In the Book of Common Prayer, there is a wonderful prayer, the Collect for the 19th Sunday after Trinity, which runs: “O God forasmuch as without thee, we are not able to please thee, mercifully grant that thy Holy Spirit may in all things direct and rule our hearts. Through Jesus Christ our Lord”. So as we look forward to, to warmer weather, and hopefully a flaming June. Let us also hope that the power of the Holy Spirit may,(in all things), inflame our hearts with love, joy and peace. Fr. Tim READER’S RUMBLINGS The Easter Sunrise Service and Lessons from Scripture Litchborough Walking Group Then Jesus said to his disciples; “Let us go back to Judea.” But the Our walks are fairly local and varied. They take up a morning and are disciples replied; “But Rabbi, a short while ago the Jews tried to stone usually 4 to 5 miles in length. Please come and give us a try, you will be you and yet you want to go back there!” ….. But Thomas, known as made very welcome.

And there, as one ex pupil remarked, we engaged in a bit of ‘Christmas Magic.’ Here we assembled and held a short service, with makeshift seats, lectern and choir stalls (for the by then a fairly ‘well- oiled choir!) made out of hay bales. And there, amidst the straw filled pens and with the cattle looking at us, we reminded ourselves in some small way of that first Christmas in a similar barn in Bethlehem two thousand years ago.

  • Farthingstone Village Design Statement
    Farthingstone Village FARTHINGSTONE VILLAGE DESIGN STATEMENT Contents 1 Introduction 2 Village Context 3 Landscape Character 4 Economy 5 Buildings and Agricultural Buildings 6 Important Spaces 7 Trees and Hedges 8 Flora and Fauna 9 Highways and Traffic 10 Street Furniture 11 Utilities and Services 12 Lighting 1 INTRODUCTION The Village Design Statement (V.D.S) has been prepared during 2002 and 2003 by a design team made up of a cross section of the community. Villagers have supported the process of producing the Statement as they are interested in ensuring any future development in the village is of good design and complements the existing buildings and layout of the village. In order to ensure that everyone who wanted to be involved could make their input, workshops, a questionnaire, and consultation days have been held to ensure that the views of this document represent those of the village. All meetings have been well attended and nearly 50% of residents completed and returned the questionnaire. The V.D.S. was initiated by Farthingstone Parish Council and has been supported during its creation by Daventry District Council and Northamptonshire Action with Communities in Rural England (A.C.R.E.). Funding has been provided by grants from Farthingstone Parish Council, Awards for All and Daventry Area Committee of Northamptonshire County Council. Our aim in producing a V.D.S. is to ensure that when future planning decisions are being made, the local distinctiveness and character of the village are taken into account in the decision process. The recommendations in this Statement will be taken into account when planning decisions are being made.
