January 2019 Happy new year one and all, we hope you had a wonderful Christmas break and found time to enjoy the plethora of activities our brilliant community offers. January sees a far quieter diary than previous months giving us a welcome opportunity perhaps to hunker down and consider the festivities past and the year ahead. Please do keep us informed regarding clubs, events and activities and we will make sure they feature, please don't forget though that the deadline is 10th of each month! With warm wishes for 2019, Becky & Kate x [email protected] Page 2 SnOw Warden’S RePoRt The snow ploughs are ready and all the grit bins should be full but if you happen to notice one that isn’t, please do let me know. We maintain a stock of grit. Please, when it is snowy, could you refrain from parking on the Uley Stores side of The Street between the pull-in to the shop and Raglan Way as cars parked here make it very hard for the snow plough to clear the roadway. What can you do? Get ready • Check you know where your stop tap is at home and make sure your pipes are insulated • Top up the anti-freeze in your car, check your tyres and carry a ‘winter kit’ when you drive • Freeze a loaf of bread and a pint of milk you can use if you can’t get to the shops easily • Check you’re getting all the help to heat your home you’re entitled to Look after yourself • Keep your home heated to at least 18C • Visit your pharmacist at the first sign of winter illnesses • Get your free flu jab if you’re entitled to it • Drive with extra care Look out for others • Keep in touch with elderly neighbours, friends and family • Make sure they’re warm • Help them get to the shops, pharmacy or GP to pick up medication or food or to get their flu jab • Watch for illnesses and help them get help early on Juliet Browne Parish of Uley with Owlpen and Nympsfield Churches of St Giles, Holy Cross and St Bartholomew The Revd Canon Michael Cozens Assistant Church Wardens 01453 546459 Mrs P Jones 860696 [email protected] Mr J Wood 860236 Parish day off - Fri All bookings for the Church Messages listened to daily and St Giles Room to Churchwardens Marion Kee 860364 or Mrs J Rymer 860265 email:[email protected] Mrs A Hardy 860876 Normal church opening times are 10:00am - 6:00pm or dusk, whichever is earlier www.stgilesuley.org.uk Page 3 A January Letter from Canon Michael A very happy new year to you all! A new year can begin with quite a mix of different feelings and emotions. There can be (initially anyway) a strong resolve to keep to those new year resolutions which are often, for many of us, about trying to keep fit and eat less! There can also be strong feelings of anticipation and hope, of looking forward perhaps to an event in the family, to plans that are being made or to other exciting changes in our own lives. The new year can also, of course, bring feelings of anxiety, of regret and of loss and also of uncertainty about what lies ahead of us, for ourselves or for others we are concerned for, or on a bigger scale, concerns for our country or the wider world. Christians begin a new year with exactly the same range of feelings and emotions as everyone else, but know that they can bring their joys and concerns, their hopes and their fears, to God and share them with him in prayer and in worship, placing their hope and trust in God, who is faithful and who has promised to hear us when we pray to him in faith. In the Church we look forward to the familiar seasons and festivals of the Church’s year which are all still to come as we continue on our journey together as members of the Body of Christ in this part of God’s Kingdom. We also make plans and resolutions and just at the end of last year, the PCC (Parochial Church Council) passed a resolution to apply for a Faculty (legal permission from the Church authorities) to carry out some long-discussed plans for both the inside and outside of St Giles church. As part of the ongoing consultation process about these plans, dates will be advertised specifying when and where the plans and description of the proposed work can be viewed and discussed with members of the church community. Briefly, the proposals include the following: • Improvements to the exterior access to the church including a new, wider path. • The removal of the wooden screen currently in the arch between the tower area and the main body of the church, using part of the screen known as ‘the Teulon Screen’ as the frontage to a storage area under the tower. • Replacing the wooden screen with a glass screen under the arch that will allow light into the church, access that is wide enough for all sizes of wheelchairs and buggies and a view of the Teulon Screen in its new position. • Removal of the pew on the left hand side as you come into the church through the new screen to create space to accommodate wheelchair users during services. • Removal of the raised wooden platforms at the west end of the church to create a level, paved floor. Moving the font to its former position near to the porch door and removing the safe which is in the corner of that area. • The removal of the raised platform in the Lady Chapel. • The removal of the front pew on either side of the main aisle to create a slightly larger space which can be used for worship as well as for school services and events such as concerts. • Associated work on the heating including moving pipes and introducing some new heating sources. Although it will not be part of this Faculty application, the PCC are also consulting with lighting engineers to replace the existing lights with an improved scheme. This is an outline of the proposals which will be able to be viewed and discussed in more detail as part of the consultation process. Details for this consultation will be given when it has been arranged. As a church community, we enter this new year with a deep sense of hope that these proposals will become a reality as we seek to equip the church for the needs of the 21st century. With my best wishes Canon Michael Page 4 ULEY PARISH COUNCIL CLERK – CARRIE MARSHALL TEL. 07944 066882 E-MAIL: [email protected] PARISH COUNCILLORS JONATHAN DEMBREY CHAIRMAN 07801217230 JANET WOOD VICE-CHAIRMAN 01453 860236 JO DEE 01453 861566 MELANIE PARASKEVA 07929360221 MIKE GRIFFITHS 01453 860463 JULIET BROWNE 01453 860710 TIM MARTIN 07772268473 DISTRICT COUNCILLOR JIM DEWEY [email protected] 01453 860795 COUNTY COUNCILLOR LORAINE PATRICK [email protected] 01453 546995 COMMUNITY WELL-BEING AGENT PENNY FRENCH [email protected] 07817866354 Other Information The Parish Council meets in the Village Hall on the first Wednesday of the month at 7:00pm.

Sunday 27 January 2019, 3.30pm, St Giles Church, Uley Local musicians Chris Hall and Robert Burgess will present an afternoon of heartwarming classical songs by English composers with local connec- tions, including Ralph Vaughan-Williams from Down Ampney and Gerald Finzi and Charles Orr who lived in Painswick. The concert will be free and refreshments will be available. There will be a retiring collection in support of MusicSpace, which is a charity that has been providing music therapy for people of all ages in Bristol and the South West since 1991. There’ll be a representative of MusicSpace at the concert, to tell us about their work. MusicSpace provides music therapy services to adults and children with a range of difficulties including physical disabilities, learning, emotional or behavioural difficulties, Alzheimer’s, physical and sensory impairments, and mental health needs. MusicSpace uses music making to help people communicate and express themselves. musicspace.org Da Capo Da Capo is Uley’s very own music appreciation group which meets on the first Wednesday of most months to enjoy recordings of mainly classical music. I know that is has existed for a long time but I don’t know who started it or when. I would be delighted to hear from anyone who can throw light on this. Our December meeting was cancelled out of respect for Maurice Bullen, who ably led Da Capo for 12 years from 2003- 2015. Our next session will be on Wednesday 6th February, from 2.00-3.30pm, at the Pavilion. New members or visitors are always welcome.

    WOODCHESTER MANSION CHAPEL A GLIMPSE OF THE HEAVENLY CITY by Richard Barton The text of this leaflet also appears on the btsarnia website by Richard Barton and can be found at https://btsarnia.org/2017/09/18/woodchester-mansion-chapel/ © Copyright 2017 Richard Barton & Woodchester Mansion Trust Ltd No part of this document may be reproduced without the written permission of Woodchester Mansion Trust Ltd Published by the Woodchester Mansion Trust Ltd, Nympsfield, Stonehouse, Gloucestershire GL10 3TS Registered charity no. 900315 Registered in England no. 2454467 Cover illustration: Benjamin Bucknall’s presentation drawing showing the external elevation of the west end of the chapel, c1860. Essentially as built. 2 The East range of the Mansion, showing the chapel, from a twentieth century postcard. All visitors to Woodchester Park and the Mansion realise that the focal point of the house is the chapel. In William Leigh’s time the main entrance to the Park was at the eastern end of the valley in South Woodchester. If the house had been completed visitors would have trundled up the long drive in their carriages and would then have been confronted by the chapel’s beautiful eastern elevation. The eyes of those entering the house would be drawn down the length of the vaulted great corridor towards its entrance. Today the lovely chapel is still incomplete, and to modern (and especially non-Catholic) audiences the question arises; how was it going to be used? Between 1846 and 1849, well before he started work on the Mansion, William Leigh had erected the Church of Our Lady of the Annunciation at South Woodchester.

As you read this, I wonder if we are any closer to realising those heady aspirations as we head into a new year. So, may I begin by wishing you all a very happy New Year. As we embark upon a new decade are the issues of the world any different than they were back in 2010, or even back at the start of this century in 2000? Issues is one of those slippery words that is hard to pin down. There are so many global and national stories that focus on issues...poverty, climate, equality, conflict, terrorism, refugees...all of these and more, are with us all of the time. They remain the staple diet of most news broadcasts. Whilst we may feel unable to change the world, we can it seems to me at least keep these issues in our thoughts and our prayers.
