LEEK WOOTTON LINK | FEBRUARY 2020

FROMTHEVICARAGE (Part I)

Love, Pancakes and Ash –

why is February a little different?

Good old Saint Valentine, the patron saint of Love (and greetings-card manufacturers perhaps!), gives us a reason to get all smoochy and sentimental on February 14th every year – a wonderful antidote to the usually grotty weather of the time. This Saint Valentine (there are

apparently a dozen or so through the ages), was a third-century bishop in

central Italy, who was martyred around 270AD. Stories related to him suggest that, against the orders of the Emperor, he helped Christians to get married thus, by law, saving the husbands from having to go off to war. While under house arrest, he is said to have displayed the love of Jesus to

the judge and his family, including successfully praying for the healing from

blindness of his daughter, leading the judge to become a Christian, along with all his household, and resulting in the freeing of many other Christians who were in prison for their faith. Incurring the Emperor’s anger, Valentine was condemned and (it is suggested) wrote a final note to the healed girl

signed ‘from your Valentine’. Apparently, it was a 14th-century poem by

Geoffrey Chaucer that actually ‘invented’ the concept of the modern Valentine’s Day as a special day for lovers. For reasons best know to history, Saint Valentine is also the patron saint of Beekeepers and people with epilepsy! At least he does appear to have been a real person,

whatever the actual truth around the stories attached to the Saint.

Pancakes and ash aren’t an obvious mix (not unless your pancake ends up in the fire when you toss it!) yet they are both expressions of the same annual event – the beginning of the season known as Lent – which has strong links too with the theme of love. This period of 40 days ending Palm

Sunday (or ending Easter Eve by not counting Sundays, depending on your

tradition) has, for centuries, been recognised as a time of fasting and prayer to focus on self-examination and repentance in the period leading up to the holy times of Good Friday and Easter. Jesus submitted himself to death on the cross to free us from the prospect of eternal death, the result

of our sin separating us from God’s love. He freely, lovingly and willingly

gave up his sinless life to death in our place, before displaying the truth that love is stronger than death through his rising to new life. Jesus invites us to follow him into the fulness of eternal life rather than holding on to eternal death. So Lent became the season for recognising and letting go of sin –

and showing this by self-sacrifice and by expressions of devotion to Jesus

who sacrificed so much out of love for us. On the first day of Lent – Ash Wednesday – the ceremony of having the sign of the cross, in ash, drawn on the forehead, became that sign of commitment to self-sacrifice: hence the tradition of ‘giving up’ something for Lent.

But if you are going to fast for 40 days, denying yourself all the indulgent

pleasures, what do you do with all the good things in the food cupboard that will go off? Easy answer – have a party first to use them up: PANCAKE DAY: Shrove Tuesday or Mardi Gras (literally Fat Tuesday!). So, I invite you to join us on the Sunday nearest St Valentine’s Day (16th)

as we think about LOVE – especially how we show our love to God and

God’s love to others; then, the following week on the Sunday before Shrove Tuesday, to our PANCAKE BREAKFAST, which precedes our Communion service which will also have a sort of party theme; and then to our ASH WEDNESDAY evening service where we begin our observance of Lent and

invite people to come for the sign of the ash cross. Love, Pancakes and

Ash – an odd mixture, but all very much connected this month.

Jim Perryman

On the Sunday before Lent, a ꢀme to get together

for food and fellowship before worship.

Please e-mail jim@leekwooꢀonchurch.co.uk or sign-up on the sheet at the back of church

to give us an idea of numbers, as a help for catering.

A big thank you to all who have supplied church flowers for the altar each week. It does make such a difference if we have real flowers there. However, it is becoming

more difficult to keep the rota filled. I have at least

twelve spaces this year, excluding Lent, Harvest and Christmas. Would anybody like to commemorate a special occasion and place flowers in the brass vases to remember a loved one or on a special birthday?

Your floristry skills will not be judged! If you are

wanting to do this, please ring me on t: 859949. Also, a big thankyou to the small but enthusiastic team who decorate the church for special occasions. What a great job they make of it.

From theVicarage PART 2:

Does your LINK still look a little different?

We hope you enjoyed the full colour Christmas edition of the Link and, as promised in that edition, this one too is full colour, but trying a different type of paper. It would be interesting to know your thoughts about the three options that the past three editions have offered:

November: The ‘traditional’ slightly thicker colour cover with black & white

inner pages and an occasional colour spread in the centre;

December: Full colour on normal paper, again with a thicker cover; February: Full colour on silky paper, with cover and inside pages the same. The PCC, in consultation with the Link editorial and distribution team, will make a decision before the March edition goes to print, but if you would like to offer your opinion on the options, please do send it directly to me – either in a note delivered to the Vicarage or, preferably, by email to [email protected]. Whatever the print style in future, I have every confidence that, with the dedicated ‘team’ of contributors, editors and distributors, we will continue to offer a high-quality community-focussed magazine, and I hope you will continue to enjoy and support it.

Sheran Harper reflecting on her first year as MU Worldwide

President writes, “ It will certainly take faith and determination

in the coming years for us to collectively ensure our work increases its focus on: stable livelihoods; reconciliation and conflict resolution; strengthening women ’ s and girls ’ voices to influence change; literacy and education; gender justice;

and protecting the environment.   It is my fervent prayer that

our work in these key areas will provide lasting gifts to all as we transform nations. ”

Trekkers Youth Group @ All Saints

For those in school years 6 to 11

Life is a journey, and as we enter that transition phase from primary to secondary school and then begin to consider adult life to come, that journey can become complicated. There are so many decisions to be made on the way, and so many new pressures to deal with about self-

discovery. Suddenly the simple messages and the old stories about the

Christian faith that we might have grown up with can seem rather irrelevant to the complexity of real life and the world-view of the 21st century.

Trekking is about undertaking a long and

challenging journey, normally with others:

often a journey of discovery undertaken by young people to find out more about their world and themselves.

Trekkers Youth Group is a place where

we are free to take part on that journey, to explore some of life’s big questions and to discover whether Jesus, the ‘Light of the World’, actually does have some light to shine on the way ahead.

We normally meet once each half-term on a Sunday late-afternoon at the

Vicarage: Nicola and Jim Perryman currently act as Trek ‘Guides’. New members are very welcome – as are suggestions for topics to explore or other things to do together. Past meetings have been a mixture of discussions, games, films, etc. and normally end with a simple meal

together, but the future hasn’t been written yet!

COVENTRY CATHEDRAL MATTERS

  • Parish Partner : Mary Robins
  • t : 512643

When I visited the Cathedral recently, I noticed properly for the first time a large spherical structure made of metal. This is the ‘Global Candle Stand’ on which there are fifty-six holders for tea lights. Fifty-two of these are in remembrance of the victims of the 7 July 2005 London bombings and four

for the suicide bombers. A notice invites you to light a candle and there is a

special printed prayer for peace. The stand was given to Coventry Cathedral in 2016 by students from RBZ Technik, Kiev. Kiev is twinned with Coventry and was the first city to receive a ‘Cross of Nails’ in 1947.

Educational Films

On some afternoons there will be free viewings of educational films in the

Cathedral. On Wednesday 12 February at 1:00pm there will be a screening of 2040, which addresses concerns about transport and farming. On Thursday, 13 February at 1:00pm He Named Me Malala, a film about 15- year old Malala Yousafzai who spoke out about the closing of schools to

girls, will be shown and on Wednesday, 19 February, again at 1:00pm, the

screening will be Monsters and Men, set in Brooklyn, New York.

STOP PRESS: BREAK IN ATTHE CATHEDRAL

I am very sorry to report the news of serious damage at

the Cathedral. On the night of Thursday, 23 January one of the panels in John Hutton's beautiful West Screen was smashed. The culprits entered the Cathedral and broke into the glass collecting box to steal the money. The

glass panel of the Screen was engraved with an Angel

holding the Eternal Gospel.

GUY’S CLIFFE PARISH COUNCIL

  • Clerk to the Parish Council : Helen Eldridge
  • t : 853841

e : [email protected]

The Parish Council met on Tuesday, 7 January 2020, at Leek Wootton Village Hall. Discussion included the following:

PARISH DIRECTORY 2020

With this issue of The Link you will also receive a copy of the Parish Directory 2020. The Parish Council hopes that you will find this directory a useful tool throughout the year.

ANNUAL PARISH ASSEMBLY

This annual meeting for electors, residents and people who work within the parish has been arranged for Monday 6 April at 7pm in Leek Wootton Village Hall and it is confirmed that the Deputy Chief Constable,

Warwickshire Police, will attend to speak and answer questions. We hope

to get an update on how the re-occupation of Woodcote is progressing and on the sale of police land for development. We will also have an opportunity to hear about wider Policing issues in Warwickshire.

COMMUNITY MAINTENANCE

The Leek Wootton to Kenilworth footpath has been cleared and the

vegetation cut back. A number of issues have been raised with Warwickshire County Council Highways, including ponding and signage repairs at the Skew Bridge

(railway), Hill Wootton Road and surface drainage outside the Old School,

Warwick Road. However, WCC Highways is currently dealing with a 2½- month backlog due recent bad weather. Pothole repairs will continue, but no permanent repairs are currently being undertaken, so unfortunately, some issues may have to wait for the new financial year.

The Parish Clerk and County Councillor have been in discussion with WCC

Highways lighting about the lamp posts not working at Blacklow roundabout (A46) south of Leek Wootton. They have been advised that there is a serious electrical problem, which is being looked into, but repairs may take some time. Visibility on the Leek Wootton side of the roundabout at night is

poor, so please be cautious of other road-users during the winter nights.

A new street sign has been erected on the Anchor Inn side of Woodcote Lane. This will help drivers leaving the recreation ground to find the alternative route to/from Kenilworth and, with new signage planned at the ‘rec’, should reduce the number of cars attempting dangerous U-turns at

the bottom of the ramp.

    Warwick District Personal Details: Name: Charles BOURNE E-mail: Postcode: Organisation Name: Comment text: I am very pleased to see that the Boundary Commission has decided to proceed with its own proposals, rather than adopting any of those put forward by Warwick District Council or any of the political parties (although some of these were more reasonable than others!). I totally support the objective of the Boundary Commission of creating wards with the least variation from the population average, and aligning wards as far as possible with the County Council divisions adopted following their most recent revision. However, I wish particularly to express my SUPPORT for two aspects of the Boundary Commission's proposals, both of which "correct" very unfortunate aspects of the County Council boundaries: (1) To include the area between the railway line and the River Leam in Clarendon Ward rather than Brunswick. I live in this area and can categorically confirm that the community on and around Avenue Road/Adelaide Road identify with and consider ourselves part of Leamington Spa town centre and North Leamington (Clarendon Ward or Milverton Ward), and not South Leamington (Brunswick). I am very grateful that members of the Commission took the trouble to visit this area, and affirm their view that hard geographical features separate our area from Brunswick ward. (2) To broaden Milverton Ward across Kenilworth Road so that the ward is coherent, compact and geographically rational. I hope that whatever changes the Boundary Commission might make to these proposals as a result of this consultation, they will not make any alteration to these two elements.

    Page 1 of 4 Agenda Item 1 Portfolio Holder Decision – Submission of a Bid Application to the DfT Rural Mobility Fund Portfolio Holder Portfolio Holder for Transport and Planning Date of decision 19 February 2021 Signed Decision taken That the Portfolio Holder for Transport & Planning gives approval for officers to submit a bid application for external funding to the Department for Transport’s Rural Mobility Fund for the sum of £1.020million. Reasons for decisions The submission of bids for external funding must be signed off by the relevant WCC Cabinet Portfolio Holder. Background information In September 2019, the Government announced details regarding a £220million programme of commitments in 2020-21 towards transforming bus services in England, including a National Bus Strategy. Subsequently, in February 2020, the Department for Transport (DfT) invited local authorities to submit Expressions of Interest (EOI) regarding a £20million Rural Mobility Fund to assess the benefits of on-demand services to improve existing bus provision in rural and suburban areas. The DfT expects much of the fund to be awarded in chunks of between £0.5-£1.5million. In June 2020, County Council officers submitted an EOI focused on a new demand responsive transport service serving residents in rural settlements situated to the west of the Warwick urban area and parts of Kenilworth. This represents a population below 10,000 residents in accordance with the DfT eligibility criteria, including Beausale, Budbrooke, Haseley, Hatton and Leek Wootton. The proposed new service would operate on Mondays to Saturdays between 0600 – 1930 and replace part of the conventional Service 16 bus service between Warwick – Kenilworth.

    Skidmore & Skidsmore Families of rural Warwickshire Skidmore/ Scudamore One-Name Study SKIDMORE AND SKIDSMORE FAMILIES OF RURAL WARWICKSHIRE 1550-1915 Minor amendments were last made to by Linda Moffatt © 2012 this account by Linda Moffatt on 24 July 2016. It has been my privilege to add to the account by Warren Skidmore of the first 150 years of this family in Warwickshire, from its probable origins in Siddington Langley, Gloucestershire in the early 16th century (a family itself out of the ancient family at Holme Lacy, Herefordshire). He lends to the history of this family, as to others, his considerable knowledge and experience of interpreting records of the 12th-16th centuries and applying them to family history. Over many years' work he has tried, and in large succeeded, in tracking the movement of individuals before 1650 out of Herefordshire and Somerset to other parts of Britain and to the US. Warren Skidmore's work on this branch of the wider Skidmore/Scudamore family can be found on the website www.skidmorefamilyhistory.com as an occasional paper with the title The Skydmores in the Environs of Stratford-On-Avon, Warks. Much of Generations 1-5 below are based heavily on this paper. For my part, I have taken the story from the 18th into the early 20th century, with the census of 1911 as my end point. I have not included any detail beyond 1915 to preserve the privacy of living descendants. If you would like to include your 20th century family in this account, please contact me via [email protected] (LM).
