As we go into November, into the season of ‘Remembering’, as the nights draw in and the temperatures drop, we need good things to look forward to, we need ‘hope’. I am reminded of that beautiful hymn, ‘Lord of all Hopefulness’ which is often chosen for Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals. It reminds us that whatever happens in life, God is with us, and that gives us hope as we face the future in His company. Renewing Hope – Pray, Serve, Grow, is the Vision of our Bishops and people in the Diocese of Salisbury. Here is the latest letter written by Bishop Andrew Rumsey, Bishop of Ramsbury. He is writing about similar themes of hope in remembering. 'Little Imber on the down; seven miles from any town'. Like its better-known counterpart in Dorset, Tyneham, the ‘lost’ village of Imber was permanently evacuated in 1943, to provide a training area for US troops preparing for the allied invasion of Europe: one community’s quiet sacrifice for the war effort. Deserted and overgrown, today Imber is a kind of ghost village, about as deep into Salisbury Plain as it is possible to be. Adapted as a stage set for army manoeuvres, with the well-preserved parish church of St Giles as its centrepiece, Imber has also become something of a pilgrimage site for thousands of visitors who flock there during the twenty days each year access is granted. What draws them in such numbers? Abandoned places retain a unique fascination and Imber is, for many, a potent symbol of lost community - what the writer Georgina Boyes called ‘the imagined village’. In this idealised and deeply nostalgic sense of place, the Anglican Church plays an almost iconic role – when the bells of St Giles toll, we are recalled to a longed-for common life. he loss of place is perhaps the most powerful motive in modern social and political life. Globally, more people than ever before are uprooted from their home, by war and disaster; across the United Kingdom we are deeply unsettled and – whatever our allegiances - view the coming months with profound concern. Like the Psalmist, who writes ‘in time of national humiliation’ that ‘we do not see our emblems’ – the symbols of our belonging - as believers we are called by God to remember our future. Called back to the Lord’s faithful provision in former generations and forward in hope to the place assured for us – won for us – in the Lord Jesus. Everyone is, by different routes, seeking this way forward. As an enduring sign of faith, hope and communal resilience, our parishes and churches once again have a crucial part to play in signalling and settling the nation. In Christ is our way back - and our way forwards. +Andrew Ramsbury This letter is taken from The Grapevine, Salisbury Diocese. From the Registers Funerals: May they rest in Peace.

  • River Avon at Bulford
    River Avon at Bulford An Advisory Visit by the Wild Trout Trust June 2013 Contents Introduction Catchment and Fishery Overview Habitat Assessment Recommendations Making It Happen 2 Introduction This report is the output of a Wild Trout Trust visit undertaken on the Hampshire Avon on the Snake Bend Syndicate’s (SBS) water near Bulford, national grid reference (NGR) SU155428 to SU155428. The visit was requested by Mr Geoff Wilcox, who is the syndicate secretary and river keeper. The visit was focussed on assessing the habitat and management of the water for wild trout Salmo trutta. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Mr Wilcox. Throughout the report, normal convention is followed with respect to bank identification i.e. banks are designated Left Bank (LB) or Right Bank (RB) whilst looking downstream. Catchment and Fishery Overview The Hampshire Avon is recognised as one of the most important river habitats in the UK. It supports a diverse range of fish and invertebrates and over 180 different aquatic plant species. The Avon (and its surrounding water meadows) has been designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and Special Area of Conservation (SAC); however, much of the Avon and its tributaries have been significantly modified for land drainage, agriculture, milling and even navigation. 3 The Avon begins its life as two separate streams known as the Avon West and the Avon East, rising near Devizes and the Vale of Pewsey respectively. The Avon West is designated as a SSSI whilst for reasons unknown, the Avon East is not.
