We give a last look back to the celebrations of Christmas – 40 days ago – and our attention is now drawn towards Lent, which starts this year at the end of February. Just before Lent comes Shrove Tuesday – often referred to as Pancake Day or Mardi Gras (derived from the French for Fat Tuesday). Both these latter terms remind us that traditionally on this day all the rich foods left in the house – typified by milk, eggs, sugar and fat - were consumed before the harsh necessities of the Lenten Fast started. But why Shrove Tuesday? Shrove is an old word – the past tense for ‘shrive’ which similarly is unfamiliar. Referring to the ever-reliable Oxford English Dictionary, shrive is defined as follows: In Old English - To impose penance upon (a person); hence, to administer absolution to; to hear the confession of. It was traditional to go to confession in the run-up to Lent, to confess your sins to the priest, who would assign penances (the performance of some act of self- mortification or the undergoing of some penalty as an expression of sorrow for sin or wrongdoing) to be performed during Lent and give absolution. This tradition is very old. Over 1000 years ago a monk wrote in the Anglo- Saxon Ecclesiastical Institutes: ‘In the week immediately before Lent everyone shall go to his confessor and confess his deeds and the confessor shall so shrive him.’ Not something done very much today in the Church of England – though I’m sure it could be arranged if requested! So Shrove Tuesday leads to Ash Wednesday. The use of ashes as a sign of penitence goes back to the Old Testament – the prophet Jeremiah calls for repentance by saying: "O daughter of my people, gird on sackcloth, roll in the ashes", while the prophet Daniel recounted pleading to God: "I turned to the Lord God, pleading in earnest prayer, with fasting, sackcloth and ashes" Christians continued the practice of using ashes as an external sign of repentance. The public penance that grave sinners underwent before being admitted to Holy Communion just before Easter lasted throughout Lent, on the first day of which they were sprinkled with ashes and dressed in sackcloth. When, towards the end of the first millennium, the discipline of public penance was dropped, the beginning of Lent, seen as a general penitential season, was marked by sprinkling ashes on the heads of all. This practice is found in the Gregorian Sacramentary of the late 8th century. About two centuries later, Ælfric of Eynsham, an Anglo-Saxon abbot, wrote of the rite of strewing ashes on heads at the start of Lent. Nowadays the ashes, generally made by burning the palm crosses and branches blessed the previous year on Palm Sunday, are ground into a powder and smudged on the forehead in the shape of a cross, with appropriate words. And so, starts Lent – 40 days of fasting, reminding us that Jesus spent 40 days in the desert, fasting and being tempted, before starting his ministry. A quick check of a calendar shows that from Ash Wednesday to Easter Day is actually 46 days – but Sundays are always Festivals of the Resurrection so cannot be fasting days! In theory, at least, this means that we could indulge in whatever we have ‘given up’ for Lent on those Sundays – but I find it easier to maintain the discipline, which is but a pale shadow of the serious fasting undertaken by Christians in past years. And the words used at the imposition of the ashes on Ash Wednesday are a sharp reminder of what Lent should mean to us: - Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return. Turn away from sin and be faithful to Christ.

What did the Uley Parish Council do in 2019? It might interest parishioners to know that during the course of 2019 Uley Parish Council discussed and considered 27 planning applications; 7 listed building applications; 8 proposals for works to trees in a conservation area and one miscellaneous application (for the removal of the telephone box). Additionally, councillors attended Stroud District Council planning committee to make representations in respect of one planning application which was being considered by full committee. A number of reports of damage to stiles and blocked footpaths were dealt with by our footpaths officer, and several reports were made to Gloucestershire Highways in respect of potholes; floods and vegetation-obscured signage. A trial was run by Stroud District Road Safety Group using the VAR camera system to try to identify whether the perceived speeding along The Street is really an issue – and this is ongoing in conjunction with other neighbouring parishes. Council members also attended, and in some cases organised, meetings of the following local groups to represent the interests of parishioners: Allotment Association Village Hall Committee Millennium Green Committee Uley Playing Fields Committee Prema Cam Dursley & Uley Joint Woodlands Management Committee Stroud District Road Safety Group Village Shop Further work was undertaken in respect of playground management; flooding; grass cutting; bus shelter maintenance (gutter painting) and assisting local volunteers in the conservation of grassland on the Uley Bury ramparts. This is not a complete list as many other meetings and presentations were attended by various councillors when required. The Arts and Crafts Movement in the Stroud Valleys The Arts and Crafts Movement in the Cotswolds is famous not just nationally, but internationally, and many of the most important figures in this Movement, artists, craftsmen and women and architects, lived in the Stroud Valleys. In the last decade of the 19th century, Ernest Gimson, Ernest and Sidney Barnsley, all three of them architects, took up residence at the eastern end of the Golden Valley, where the River Frome flows through Earl Bathurst’s lands. For a few years, they lived and worked at Pinbury Park, latterly also sharing a furniture workshop with cabinet-makers in Cirencester, but when all three of them were married and two of them needed larger homes, Earl Bathurst gave them permission to design and build their own houses at Sapperton, and this is where, from 1903, they lived and worked for the rest of their lives. All three of them had been making furniture at Pinbury, but Ernest Barnsley now spent more of his time on architecture, designing and for many years overseeing the building of Rodmarton Manor (of which more, perhaps, later). Sidney Barnsley was much more dedicated to furniture- making, thinking out and making his pieces with his own hands from design to finish. His work is very fine, necessarily rare and enormously sought after. Ernest Gimson had made chairs and plasterwork when they were at Pinbury, but he knew he was better at designing than making, and now with a workshop at nearby Daneway, he continued to employ skilled cabinet-makers to make his furniture, and trained up local men to be equally accomplished at the craft. He also designed for metalwork and needlework. To see what this furniture was like and to understand a bit more what they were trying to achieve in the Cotswolds, you might go to the Arts and Crafts gallery at the Wilson, (which is the new name for Cheltenham Museum). They also have an exhibition, ‘Ernest Gimson: Observation, Imagination and Making’, which is on until 25th February, and this is accompanied by a new book by Annette Carruthers, Mary Greensted and Barley Roscoe, Ernest Gimson: Arts & Crafts Designer and Architect.

  • Memories of Growing up in Rural South-West England in the Early Twentieth Century
    Rural History (2020), 31, 165–180 doi:10.1017/S0956793320000199 RESEARCH ARTICLE ‘There wasn’t all that much to do ::: at least not here’: memories of growing up in rural south-west England in the early twentieth century Laura Harrison Faculty of Arts, Creative Industries, and Education, University of the West of England, Bristol, United Kingdom Email: [email protected] Abstract Stan was born in 1911 in a small village near the north Somerset coast. When recalling his life in the coun- tryside, he felt that ‘there wasn’t much to do in the evenings ::: at least not here’. Drawing upon evidence from personal accounts of growing up in the south-west of England in the early twentieth century, this article examines memories of youth in the countryside, with a particular focus on the leisure lives of young people and their experiences of rural space and place. In addition to adding to our knowledge on the lives of rural youth, this study also provides new insights into the complex relationship between people and their environment, and has implications for our understandings of the early formation of a distinct youthful identity in England. The countryside was not simply a backdrop in these recollections; rather, it was for- mative in how those that grew up in rural communities understood their experience of being young. Introduction Stan was born in 1911 in a small village near the north Somerset coast, and grew up in what he described as a ‘typical country cottage’. He felt that ‘there wasn’t all that much to do in the eve- nings’, adding ‘there were no such things as cinemas being opened, for instance, and dance halls and other entertainments, at least not here’.1 Harry, who grew up in Uley, Gloucestershire, spent his childhood exploring the fields and lanes of the village and surrounding countryside, but also remembered that ‘entertainment in rural areas was sparse, except self-created jokes and fun’.
