And there, as one ex pupil remarked, we engaged in a bit of ‘Christmas Magic.’ Here we assembled and held a short service, with makeshift seats, lectern and choir stalls (for the by then a fairly ‘well- oiled choir!) made out of hay bales. And there, amidst the straw filled pens and with the cattle looking at us, we reminded ourselves in some small way of that first Christmas in a similar barn in Bethlehem two thousand years ago. At that service it had become a tradition for a revered former member of staff always to read Hardy’s Poem ‘The Oxen.’ THE OXEN Thomas Hardy Christmas Eve, and twelve of the clock. So fair a fancy few would weave "Now they are all on their knees," In these years! Yet, I feel, An elder said as we sat in a flock If someone said on Christmas Eve, By the embers in hearthside ease. "Come; see the oxen kneel We pictured the meek mild creatures where In the lonely barton by yonder coomb They dwelt in their strawy pen Our childhood used to know," Nor did it occur to one of us there I should go with him in the gloom, To doubt they were kneeling then. Hoping it might be so Now Hardy rejected any kind of formal Christian belief or affiliation, yet his poetry andhis novels are littered with references to Christian worship and Christian values. Would he, I wonder, have attended services over Christmas? Something within me says he would and probably did - if only out of curiosity or uncertain belief - after all you can’t be a great novelist or poet, and have written profoundly of human hopes and fears, and not be aware of the narrative of our human mystery. Churches, even in this day and age, fill at Christmas with a wide variety of people who come for a wide variety of reasons. There are those who come because they believe that the unimaginable and invisible God was made visible to humanity in the child of Bethlehem; some because they half believe; others still, like the voice in Hardy’s poem are drawn ‘hoping it might be so.’ Continued page 2 Cont: There is a strange power in the familiar words of the Christmas narrative and the familiar carols that draw us at Christmas, and they meet a kind of hunger in all of us. For there is one thing which unites us all as humanity, wherever we are on our human journey, and that is the need to NOTIFICATION OF ESSENTIAL MAINTENANCE WORKS know that we matter; to be valued, affirmed and that we are loved.

  • Farthingstone Village Design Statement
    Farthingstone Village FARTHINGSTONE VILLAGE DESIGN STATEMENT Contents 1 Introduction 2 Village Context 3 Landscape Character 4 Economy 5 Buildings and Agricultural Buildings 6 Important Spaces 7 Trees and Hedges 8 Flora and Fauna 9 Highways and Traffic 10 Street Furniture 11 Utilities and Services 12 Lighting 1 INTRODUCTION The Village Design Statement (V.D.S) has been prepared during 2002 and 2003 by a design team made up of a cross section of the community. Villagers have supported the process of producing the Statement as they are interested in ensuring any future development in the village is of good design and complements the existing buildings and layout of the village. In order to ensure that everyone who wanted to be involved could make their input, workshops, a questionnaire, and consultation days have been held to ensure that the views of this document represent those of the village. All meetings have been well attended and nearly 50% of residents completed and returned the questionnaire. The V.D.S. was initiated by Farthingstone Parish Council and has been supported during its creation by Daventry District Council and Northamptonshire Action with Communities in Rural England (A.C.R.E.). Funding has been provided by grants from Farthingstone Parish Council, Awards for All and Daventry Area Committee of Northamptonshire County Council. Our aim in producing a V.D.S. is to ensure that when future planning decisions are being made, the local distinctiveness and character of the village are taken into account in the decision process. The recommendations in this Statement will be taken into account when planning decisions are being made.

Elsewhere in this magazine David has also written about the ‘Sunrise Communion’ at Maidford. I wish as we sat before the service, waiting to see who would appear, I had a camera with me, (or at least remembered to charge my phone!) to photograph the inside of the church and the way the sun streaming through the East window shone over the High Altar and onto the large crucifix set up in the chancel. We had placed the crucifix there on ‘Good Friday’ as part of the Good Friday Service and had dressed it in the symbols of the crucifixion- the nails, the crown of thorns etc.
