The Old Lifeboat Shed and Watchtower is a Grade 2 listed building which has played an important role in Looe’s seafaring history since the first lifeboat was dedicated 150 years ago. Sadly, after years of trying to counter the effects of its challenging environment, the Trust was forced to separate the Watchtower from the adjoining Lifeboat Shed, which is operated as a retail shop. The Watchtower is now vacant and at risk of further structural decline. We are, therefore, delighted to have been awarded a grant by the Architectural Heritage Fund (requiring matched funding by the Trust) to conduct a viability study to assess costs and options. If restoration work proceeds we will be seeking more substantial funding, which to some extent would depend on the level of local community support. We will shortly be in touch with the town’s various organisations to seek views on this. Development Of Wishing Well Site: Update We have previously reported that the Trust has received the necessary planning and listed buildings approvals for the development of the former ladies’ toilets. Since then, further essential work has been undertaken with our architect, solicitors and estate agents. The present position is that tenders have been invited from potential occupants of the premises and we expect decisions to be made on this by the end of February. The process will be verified independently. Thereafter the necessary building work to reflect agreed use can be put in hand. Christmas and New Year The Trust is pleased to have made its contribution to the town’s festive appearance, including the Guildhall Christmas tree and lighting. Congratulations to the many others who played their part. What a pity that vandalism to the tree nearly required its removal on safety grounds. Thanks to prompt repair work by our staff this was avoided. The Trust is also glad to have been been able to make some charitable donations in support of those providing help for vulnerable people. We take this opportunity to wish everyone a healthy and peaceful New Year.

As always, there have been numerous activities taking place outside of the classroom, some of which are celebrated later in the magazine. These extra- curricular activities are a great way for students to develop personally: making new friendships, learning new skills, building confidence and raising aspiration. Our ‘In the Spotlight...’ feature this edition is a focus on students’ personal development from joining the school through to leaving us after Year 13. We have created an overview of the opportunities students are given as well as the character and attributes we are trying to develop. I hope you find it interesting. At this time of year I start to think about our areas for development as a school. To help with this, please could you use OFSTED’s Parent View survey to feedback your comments about your experience of ‘Team Liskeard’. The link to the survey is below. https://parentview.ofsted.gov.uk/login?destination=give-your-views We are currently exploring various changes to the school day for the next academic year. This includes the length of lessons, when tutor time takes place, how long break and lunch are and the timings of the school day.

This message no doubt will find you thinking of, perhaps deep into, the month’s holidays. Though most of us are thoroughly Americanized with our family practices, we would hope for room and time to strengthen tradi- tion by “doing Cornish”. I would refer you once again to that wonderful website, www.cornishculture.co.uk. There you can access information about Cornish carols, decorations and other traditions which tie us to our an- cestors. My challenge would be for us, as a service to our families, to emphasize at least one purely Cornish story, play, hymn (Charles Wesley or Thomas Merritt), food, or other practice. Keep and pass on our heritage! The excitement is building for the DVD of “TIN – THE MOVIE”, now available at http://www.tinmovie.com/. Originally produced by Miracle Theatre, established in 1979 as a touring company in Cornwall, “Tin” is a ‘rollicking good scandal…’ according to myCornwall magazine’s April/May 2015 issue. It stars several famil- iar faces…Jenny Agutter and Ben Luxon, to name two…and is the story of the politics of tin production and speculation in Cornwall during the turn of the last century. Selling for GBP16 on its website (be sure to choose the version which is playable for your region of the world), a copy is well within the reach of each of us or our local Cornish societies.

  • Callington Newsletter
    Callington News April 2016 www.callington-tc.gov.uk The Callington Mural Project is unique in Cornwall and something we have been very proud of over the years. However, a number of the murals have not managed to stand the test of time, with increasing signs of structural problems such as damp or deteriorating render, weather damage or sadly in recent years, acts of vandalism or graffiti. It’s not all doom and gloom though. We were very fortunate to have a local art group re-invigorate the mural at the New Road Public Conveniences back in 2014 with a theme to commemorate Callington’s connection with the World Wars and our very own Councillor, Dave Williams, completed a new mural, The Forge, in Biscombe Lane also in 2014. Love them or loathe them, the murals have provided our Town with uniqueness over the years for many people, both residents and visitors, to enjoy. They provide a wonderful talking point and allow us to capture and reflect on the area’s strong links with the sea, surrounding farmland, Brunel and the infamous secret pasty factory, to name but a few. Should we be encouraging the resurrection of a Mural Committee to look at exploring opportunities to source funding and manpower? What are your thoughts on this matter? We could be looking at several thousands of pounds and several hundreds of hours to work on this project. Could you provide support in the form of redesigning the Mural Trail leaflet? Or providing a few hours with a paint brush? Or sourcing Grant Funding? With our Annual Parish Meeting on Tuesday 19th April in the Council Chamber at 7.00pm, please come along and let us know your thoughts.

See you all again in September. Please email copy to [email protected] or post to ‘Tremaye’ Downderry by the 17th of the preceding month. Any enquiries, email or ring 250629. Nature As I entered the garden shed I heard a loud buzzing sound and immediately expected to see a bee eager to escape. To my surprise and delight the insect turned out to be a hornet. Since it was May this individual was a queen and eager to build a nest. Hornets prefer cavities in trees so there was little chance of its setting up home in the shed, but taking great care I began the task of encouraging it to leave. There were a few spiders’ webs to negotiate but the hornet did not appear to find them any obstacle. Suddenly out of its hiding emerged a spider, having detected the vibrations and no doubt hoping to envelop the intruder. However it took one look at the opposition and scurried back into its hole. Eventually the hornet was released and I reflected on the rarity of the experience. Last summer I saw a few hornets around flowers in the Seaton Valley , but not here in my garden. Despite their reputation I savoured the opportunity to get close and appreciate their brown, red and yellowy-orange colour and large size.

We were pleased that we were well prepared for the nation's emergence from lockdown, and the pleasant summer weather which brought visitors back to Looe; and we do understand how important an attractive beach and seafront is to the economy of our town. Although the Trust has neither the means nor the power to enforce the Covid distancing regulations, we were pleased that overwhelmingly people were observing the 1 metre plus outside social distancing rule on the beach and seafront. (Anecdotally, there were a lot more windbreaks in use on the beach, which could be a sign of people taking extra Covid care!) The Pier Cafe, Beach Cafe, and seafront concessions business have all worked hard to be Covid secure and provide a good service for customers, from great cups of coffee to kayak hire.

Which activities are you asking FEAST to fund? As part of the national Heritage Open Days in September, organisations in Liskeard come together for Liskeard Unlocked - opening buildings and running events to tell the stories of the people of our town. This year, the national theme is Women and Power and we’re celebrating the history of women who worked and ran businesses locally. They include Alice Matthews who was a printer and newspaper publisher on Market Street from the 1850s to 1883 and was succeeded by Helen Morcom, who ran the business until 1922; and Mary Stantan who employed 17 people and ran Stantan’s draper’s shop in Fore Street from the 1860s to 1891. Eliza ‘Madame’ Garland had a photography studio on Fore Street in 1919. There are are also the many domestic servants, bal maidens, and straw bonnet makers like Jane, Mary and Emma Barrett who lived on Pike Street in the mid 19th century and gansey knitters from Polperro who supplied businesses based in Liskeard. We’re working with current Liskeard-based businesses like the Cornish Times, the craft shop Painter’s, and the Cornish Gansey Company to contrast the trades then and now and to encourage more people to spend time and money in today’s town centre.
