One weekend in the middle of June I was invited to lead a service for the Forest branch of the bell ringers guild. It so happened that one of the bible readings set for the day was Matthew's Gospel, chapter 6, verses 24 to the end. The passage starts with Jesus warning to his disciples that you can't serve two masters, and then is the well know passage about not worrying about tomorrow, 'consider the lilies of the field, they don't work in the fields or spin cloth, but even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed as beautifully as they are' and 'look at the birds of the air, they don't sow or harvest and store in barns but God feeds them'. This passage has a resonance with me as it was the 1st bible reading I ever read in church when I was a child. My mum had typed it out (yes with a type This CartoonChurch.com cartoon by Dave Walker originally appeared in the Church Times. writer) on a piece of paper which I still have. It also seems a great passage to have read as we head into summer, summer vacations and time with family.

WILLS At the beginning of Christian Aid Week a DVD was shown at St Michael’s Church At present, anybody can call themselves a Will-Writer without having any about an Ethiopian woman called Adi Abduba. She was one of the poorest of the poor, a widow with no education, no livestock and eight hungry children. She was legal expertise or knowledge whatsoever but, should something go wrong, without status in her community. But for all that, she believed her life ought to be there is currently nowhere to go for redress. There is, however, The Institute better.

  • Forest of Dean Plan Hwc , Item 9
    1. Overview of the Forest of Dean The modelled demand for future developments of housing with care in the Forest of Dean has highlighted an additional requirement as detailed in Table 1. Table 1: Modelled demand for housing with care Housing with care model Extra care Extra care affordable rent by 2041 Supported living by 2035 shared ownership/outright sales by 2041 Additional units required 182 0 20 Future developments of housing with care in the Forest of Dean need to consider the specific challenges and opportunities that delivering housing with care in the Forest of Dean presents: The Forest of Dean has a population of roughly 85,9571 spread over an area of 226 square miles.2 The district takes its name from the Forest of Dean itself, which forms a large part of the district and is the largest landscape feature. As well as the forest, the main geographical influences are the Severn Estuary and the Wye Valley, all of which are natural boundaries but also barriers to development. The district is adjacent to Wales and the West Midlands. Although some parts are closest to Gloucester, other parts are closer to Bristol, Newport and Hereford. The Forest of Dean is made up of 27 wards.3 Appendix 1 provides a breakdown of ONS population data; current levels of domiciliary care funded by Gloucestershire County Council (GCC); residential/nursing care; extra care and supported living at ward level. The Forest of Dean Core Strategy (FoDCS) indicates that the majority of growth within the district is likely to be planned in and around Bristol, Newport and Cardiff.4 The regeneration of the four major towns; Cinderford, Coleford, Lydney and Newent, is central to the FoDCS.

This analysis produced a single site chronology of nine samples, the 244 rings it contains spanning the period AD 1438 - AD 1681. Interpretation of the sapwood, and the relative positions of the heartwoodlsapwood boundaries on the dated samples, suggests that the timbers represented, all from the northern half of the timber building, were felled in late AD 1681 or early AD 1682. This felling took place as part of a reconstruction programme, known to have taken place in AD 1682 3 and does not date to the cAD 1740 conversion of the building to a paper milL Keywords Dendrochronology Standing Building Authors' address University of Nottingham, University Park, Nottingham, NG7 2RD.
