Phone Steve and Mel 281385 Church News The fundraising event for the ‘Tea at Lyons Corner House’ has had to be postponed from the planned date th Saturday 6 July, as it clashed with the Village Fete at Shebbear. We hope to re-organise it for a date in September. SD THE FRIENDS OF ST MARY’S: AGM 15th April 2013 CHAIRMAN’S REPORT 2012 In 2012 the total sum of £2,070 was raised, of which: £ 336 came from Brenda's Coffee Morning, £ 297 came from the sale of Jane Taylor’s History of the Parish, and £ 520 came from the sale of Christmas cards, postcards & tea towels. We also received a Gift Aid tax refund of £495 for 2008 - 2011. The remaining balance came from various donations, including the usual £50 from David Stock in Canada. The major expense this year was £3,346 for restoring the tarmac paths, and £236 for tea-towels. In addition, this month the Friends have paid £8,076 for the new air heater. This includes 20% VAT which the PCC is reclaiming; it is then a matter for them to decide how much they could afford from the General Fund and therefore how much they should return to the Friends' Fund. Unfortunately, the Dog Show this year had to be cancelled due to the weather. At Brenda’s suggestion, the Friends have marked the Diamond Jubilee by planting a commemorative amelanchier tree in the churchyard, and a plaque will be placed there in due course. Together with Jane Taylor, Sarah has nearly completed recording the gravestones in the churchyard, and all the information will eventually be available on a disc for sale, to raise funds from this project. Jackie and Phil have kindly volunteered to hold a Coffee Morning this year – date to be confirmed. Looking forward, we have decided that we must differentiate between alms and sales in the Church, and therefore Phil Hammans has kindly made us an additional box in which to collect payments for merchandise. Very many thanks to all who so generously support us.

We managed to successfully complete the 11miles in 3 hours! We have raised a total of £256 for The North Devon Hospice and Macmillan Cancer Support. Thank you to everyone who sponsored us. Kelly, Bird and Rosie Martin THE BEAST OF BUCKLAND FILLEIGH!!! Following our appeal for information about a stray sheep in the last issue, the wayward animal was cornered and caught by Phil and Val Kirk on Easter Saturday. She was discovered to be heavily in lamb and was taken back to Week Barton. She produced a healthy lamb on Easter Sunday. After the weekend, a phone call to DEFRA with the number from her ear tag revealed she belonged to farmer from Iddesleigh. The owner, Peter Ansty, rang the next day. He had winter keep at Upcott Barton and had been one short when he had picked them up. He collected the sheep and lamb from Week Barton and gave a £10 donation to Buckland Filleigh Village Hall. Weather Michael Ashton, Awsland Farm, Petersmarland, Torrington, EX38 8QW 01409 281 246 March Thank goodness, a bit of dry weather so that we can do a bit of field work but we could do with a bit of warmth to start the grass growing. The cows seem to be enjoying it even though it is so cold, as their milk production has gone up quite a bit! We had 3.56 inches of rain which is quite a lot compared with the last couple of years (1.06 and 1.26 respectively). We have had 16 days with no measurable rain (or snow) The heaviest snow was actually a sort of hail and when it melted it was under a quarter of a mm. There were two very wet readings of rain, 27 and 32mm respectively. The daytime temperatures got up as high 62 & 67f on just a couple of days. 7 days were as low as the 30's just managing to get above freezing on a couple of those days. Regarding the night temperatures, 6 only dropped to the 40's but 11 were below freezing, two as low as 28 & 29f. My blood thinning pills do not help me to keep warm!! April A drier month (thank goodness!) with 1.18 inches of rain and 16 days with no measurable rain. The average day temperatures was 50.6f and night was 39.5f. Temperatures felt colder because of the cold winds. 4 of the nights fell below freezing. 3 of the day temperatures were in the 60's. Nice to have the cattle out as the grass is growing at last.

This was the main message of a talk to the History Society, on the 15th April, by Paula Clark who is the National Trust’s Community Engagement Officer for Castle Drogo. Paula took us through the early years, when Julius Drewe, a wealthy tea importer who founded Home & Colonial Stores started looking for a location to build himself a castle, in the early 1900’s. He settled on the site, near Drewesteignton, and employed the most famous architect of the day, Sir Edward Lutyens, to design it. Julius certainly got the location right – Castle Drogo has the most wonderful views over Dartmoor – but, and probably because of Julius and in spite of Sir Edward, the structure has never really coped with the Dartmoor weather. As an example, Sir Edward designed cavity walls, which would have been warm and waterproof – but Julius insisted on filling them in, so they now leak; and the flat roof, which was Julius’ idea, never really kept out the rain. Paula told us how the Trust is now embarking on a massive project to remedy the problems, using a careful combination of traditional and modern materials. The roof will be a particular beneficiary, and, on completion of the works, it is hoped to open the roof to visitors so they will be able to enjoy the wonderful views (when it’s not raining!). In the meantime, the Castle will be very much open, and most of the Castle’s original contents will be on show in about half of the normal rooms, with staff moving things from room to room as the work progresses. A special feature of the works will be a viewing gallery on a scaffold, from which visitors can see how the work is being done. Our thanks to Paula for an interesting talk – and she is always on the look out for volunteers to help visitors to the Castle.

North Devon are trialling three weekly collections. Richard Haste explained that on average the dustcart travels 4 ½ miles to the gallon. Torridge needs to modernise its fleet of vehicles to improve the recycling rates and reduce what goes to landfill. In order that TDC meets its target of 50% recycling by 2020, new arrangements are being put in place to be implemented in 2018. Each household will be issued with a small bucket with a lid known as a ‘caddy’. All food waste will be put in these and collected weekly with the green box. Green box – glass, bottle and jars, plastic bottle flattened, food tins/drink cans flattened. Brown paper bags – cardboard, egg boxes, small packing delivery boxes.

  • Unravelling Devon Involvement in Slave-Ownership Lucy

    Unravelling Devon Involvement in Slave-Ownership Lucy

    Unravelling Devon involvement in Slave-Ownership Lucy MacKeith ‘The early history of the United States of America owes more to Devon than to any other English county.’ Charles Owen (ed.), The Devon-American Story (1980) My task this afternoon is to unravel Devon’s involvement in slave-ownership. I have found the task overwhelming because of constantly finding new information – there are leads to follow down little branches of family trees, there are Devon’s country houses, a wealth of documents, and – of course – the internet. So this is a VERY brief introduction to unravelling Devon’s involvement with slave- ownership – much has been left out. Let’s start with Elias Ball. His story is in Slaves in the Family, written by descendant Edward Ball and published in 1998. Elias Ball by Jeremiah Theus (1716-1774). ‘Elias Ball, ...was born in 1676 in a tiny hamlet in western England called Stokeinteignhead. He inherited a plantation in Carolina at the end of the seventeenth century ...His life shows how one family entered the slave business in the birth hours of America. It is a tale composed equally of chance, choice and blood.’ The book has many Devon links – an enslaved woman called Jenny Buller reminds us of Redvers Buller’s family, a hill in one of the Ball plantations called ‘Hallidon Hill’ reminds us of Haldon Hill just outside Exeter; two family members return to England, one after the American War of Independence. This was Colonel Wambaw Elias Ball who had been involved in trading in enslaved Africans in Carolina. He was paid £12,700 sterling from the British Treasury and a lifetime pension in compensation for the slaves he had lost in the war of independence.

A major initiative is the commitment to produce Catchment Management Plans setting out the Authority’s vision for realising the potential of each local water environment. An important stage in the production of the plans is a period of public consultation. The NRA is keen to draw on the expertise and interest of the communities involved. The first plan for consultation in the South West is for the freshwater River Torridge Catchment. The NRA looks forward to receiving comments on the attached draft. A final plan will then be produced with an agreed action programme for the future protection and enhancement of this important catchment.
