Longbridge Deverill Parish Council I always feel I should be out partying and having a great time or www.crockertonlongbridgeandhilldeverill.co.uk staying up until midnight at least. In reality I am inevitably at Richard Baxter 212918 (Chair) Kevin Gray 841363 home on the sofa in front of the fire watching bad TV and I usually fall asleep way Graham Read 840296 (Vice Chair) Brian Marshall 214789 before Big Ben chimes. Our eldest son was born at on New Year’s Day 1981 and I Nikki Spreadbury-Clews 216660 (Clerk) Caroline Sawyer 840585 remember the nurses were placing bets on which baby would be delivered first; mine Ian Bell 840514 Nigel Spreadbury-Clews 216660 took a long time because it was my first and he was 9lb 8oz! Gosh, that was a while David Searle 213767 ago now. It is salutary though isn’t it, to think about how the years roll by, and there is no doubt that the start of a new one causes us to stop and reflect a while on the Upper Deverills Parish Council joys and sorrows we have encountered over the last twelve months. www.westwilts-communityweb.com/site/Upper-Deverills-Parish-Council As a priest I am in an immensely privileged position in that I am allowed to walk Richard Cousens 844970 (Chair) Louise Stratton 844105 alongside individuals and families at some of the most challenging and conversely Bridget Beattie 844884 (Vice Chair) Colin Hirons 845255 the most joyous occasions in their lives; I see great suffering but also great love. I David Croot 840944 come away from these encounters humbled and heartened by the dignity, courage Christine Fordham (Clerk) 01747 873168 / 07740 512437 and sheer selflessness of those I meet and I am so grateful that God has called me to Wiltshire Councillor Fleur de Rhé Philipe 213193 serve him in this way. Over the years I have become acutely aware of the fragility of life; as the psalmist so eloquently puts it: ‘For he (God) knows of what we are made; Member of Parliament Dr Andrew Murrison 01225 358584 he remembers that we are but dust. Our days are but as grass; we flourish as a Wiltshire Council 0300 456 0100 flower of the field; For as soon as the wind goes over it is gone, and its place shall Sir James Thynne Almshouse Karen Seymour 840196 (Steward) know it no more.’ Yep, our days are numbered. So, with that cheerful thought in our Longbridge Deverill Village Hall Committee minds how should we approach this new-year? Julie Read 840655 (Chair) Anna Mead 212759 (Secretary) Well, maybe with a greater appreciation of the fact that life is a gift? That we are Sylvia Titt 214825 (Bookings) hugely privileged in having a country to call our own, in having a roof over our heads, in having enough food to eat, in having medical care to call on when we need Upper Deverills Village Hall it? And perhaps with a deeper awareness of the responsibility that comes with Caroline Davies 845335 (Chair) John Lea 844325 (Hall bookings) privilege we might consider the question ‘What does it mean for us/me to live a Crockerton Village Committee Marion Thomas 213739 (Chair) good life? How might that be worked out in this coming year?’ Obviously the answer to the question will be different for each person, but I think it does need Pre-School Children & Parents Group Sylvia Titt 214825 Pat Wood 840535 asking. I can’t be the only person with a significant birthday on the horizon who Deverill & Crockerton W I Daphne Atkinson (217658) (Pres) Julie Wallder 213142 (Sec) feels a slight sense of panic at the diminishing years I have left, coupled with the Deverills Cricket Club Ed Read 840655 (Captain) Jamie Fagan 844123 (Secretary) dawning realisation that I need to live that time in the best way possible with due attentiveness and love. Wylye Valley Tennis Club Colin Singer 213696 So, I leave you with a quote from my most favourite poet, T S Elliot, who Rural Community Beat Manager PC Vicky Howick 101 eloquently expresses the deeper truths of human existence that we all must face: Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinator Upper Deverills Bridget Beattie 844884 ‘What we call the beginning I often the end / And to make an end is to make a beginning / The end is where we start from. ------ We shall not cease from our Clarence (pot holes) 0800232323 exploration / And the end of all our exploring / Will be to arrive where we started / Hospital Transport Link Scheme 211655 And know the place for the first time.’ Mere Link Scheme (covers Upper Deverills) 01747 860096 Happy New Year, love and prayers, Pauline Rev Pauline Reid Tel: 841290 / [email protected] - 4 - - 13 - Nature Notes It is a quiet time of the year for nature; not a lot going on. Things are just ticking THE BATH ARMS CROCKERTON over waiting for the lengthening days that signify the start of spring. Thankfully we The Defib Pub Quiz are less than a week away from the shortest day, and once we start getting into the New Year the days will noticeably get longer.

  • Upper Deverills Parish Plan
    Brixton Deverill Monkton Deverill Kingston Deverill Foreword by Andrew Murrison MP I am delighted to introduce this Parish Plan which is the work of the residents in Brixton Deverill, Kingston Deverill and Monkton Deverill. All involved, including those who responded to questionnaires and came to consultations, the Parish Council and the Plan Team, are to be congratulated on a document of real worth and great potential utility. It should serve the Parish well for several years. The planning authority, Wiltshire Council, will always benefit from local input in addressing the particular needs of small communities, especially when resources are scarce. Community action has therefore become very much the way forward when residents want something to happen. This formal expression of the Parish’s ambitions and needs is the first and most important foundation for future effective action. The preparation of a Village Design Statement is suggested. We are all very lucky to be living in such a beautiful part of England and such beauty needs to be nurtured and protected. A Design Statement is one way of doing this and I very much encourage the further work it will require. The Parish needs also to evolve and develop in its appeal across the generations of the families already here and to come. So some change is necessary, and this plan, in the process of its preparation, makes that possible. The Plan is a good piece of work and its authors are to be congratulated.

    PARISH NEWS The Deverills & Crockerton The river at Kingston Deverill by Pat Armstrong FEBRUARY 2021 Look inside for local news & information PARISH NEWS ANNUAL DONATION ENVELOPE INCLUDED IN THIS ISSUE Please give generously to support your local magazine see page 7 for details - 2 - From the Dean of Salisbury According to ancient tradition the probationer choristers of the Cathedral celebrate Shrove Tuesday by cooking pancakes in the Deanery kitchen. Boys, girls, and staff members crowd around as lemons are squeezed, sugar is scattered and pancakes are flipped. Some are caught and some are not: the presence of two Deanery tortoises in the corner of the room is always a significant distraction. Above the din I try to explain how once upon a time this was the day when all the household’s butter and eggs were used up in readiness for the Lenten fast. Pancakes eaten, we go out into the garden for a more solemn but no less fascinating ritual. Palm crosses collected from the congregation in previous weeks are thrown into a fire, and the probationers are told about the ashing that will take place in the Cathedral the following day. Appetite and curiosity satisfied, the children return to school. None of that will happen this year. Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday fall within the earliest dates envisaged for the ending of our current lockdown, and it seems inconceivable that we will be able to observe Lent or Holy Week and Easter in anything like the manner to which we were once accustomed. Like the butter and the eggs, like the probationers’ pancakes, our routines, our traditions, our habits are being devoured by a pandemic which seems to go on and on.
