  • Parish Magazine
    St Andrew’s Hagbourne PARISH MAGAZINE ALTERNATIVE ISSUE – NOVEMBER 2020 Thank you very much to the Parish Councils for giving the Parish Magazine a temporary home on their websites until we are able to safely go back to producing and distributing a printed copy. www.easthagbourne.net www.westhagbourne.org ST ANDREW’S HAGBOURNE PARISH MAGAZINE page 1 NOVEMBER 2020 ST ANDREW’S CHURCH, HAGBOURNE The United Benefice of Blewbury, East and West Hagbourne and Upton together with Aston Tirrold, Aston Upthorpe, North Moreton and South Moreton. __________________________________________________________________________ Rector’s Reflections A Nation Remembers On the 26th April 1923, a young bride laid her bouquet on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, as a tribute to her brother Fergus, who had died in the Battle of Loos. Perhaps you have seen the tomb when visiting Westminster Abbey. The bride in question was Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, and her husband was the Duke of York, later King George VI. Many years later, before her own death, Elizabeth expressed the wish that her wreath be placed on the same tomb, on the day after her death. And this is indeed what happened, her daughter Queen Elizabeth II laying the wreath herself. At this time of year, many of us will be gathering around war memorials to remember all who have given their lives for this country in war, especially in the First and Second World Wars. Some will be able to attend an act of remembrance in person; others will be attending virtually. But whether the act of the remembrance is made in person or virtually, it will be made.

    DURA PROFILE Case Study Moulsford Viaduct nr. Cholsey, South Oxfordshire, England. In Brief: Dura Composites market-leading Fibreglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) solutions are playing a crucial role in helping to maximise the lifespan of this Grade II* listed viaduct in South Oxfordshire. Previously, to carry out an inspection, (either planned or for an emergency), both tracks on the viaduct had to be blocked which caused significant disruption and required possession of the track. Purpose built inspection gantries made from lightweight and high- strength FRP Dura Profile and Dura Grating were supplied by Dura Composites, and were cleverly hidden from view to ensure the aesthetics of the structure were not marred. For more information about Dura Profile, Dura Grating or Dura Composites’ other ground-breaking rail solutions visit our website at: www.duracomposites.com/rail Dura Profile www.duracomposites.com Tel: 01255 423601 CASE STUDY Lightweight Non-Corrosive Why Choose FRP? Heavy Duty It has long been acknowledged that the challenges facing Britain’s railway network are those of capacity, Fast Install Times reliability and efficiency – and that new technology holds the key to solving many of these.
