Community Council: Mrs Enid Gathercole - Mr Brian Hardy
Chairman Treasurer

  • Secretary
  • Mrs Virginia Comely -

Commi5ee Members: Mrs Jean Cook, Mrs Kyra Turner, Mrs Daphne Wilding, Mr Leon Jones Mr Paul Purnell – Parish Council Representa�ve Mr Robin Southgate – Indoor Bowls Club Representa�ve

The Community Centre re opened its doors on Monday 17 May 2021 and bookings are star�ng to come in.

Our current regular bookings are Yoga, Upholstery Classes, Tex�le Classes, Exercise Classes, Pilates, Art Club and a choir. There is also the outside sport event for children run by Billy Wappe5.

If anyone wishes to enquire about hiring the hall, please contact Enid Gathercole,

Chairman.

We hope to start holding car boot sales again from 27 June 2021 – subject to Covid Rules and Restric�ons. All being well we will be able to start holding these Car Boot sales regularly again on the last Sunday of the month running un�l September 2021. Volunteers and helpers are always needed to run these events, so if anyone can help with the car parking on the day, please contact Enid Gathercole who will give you all the informa�on that you will need.

During the recent closure it was agreed that the football group would not be allowed to use the facili�es or the football pitch anymore. The reason for this decision was made due to the group not looking aNer the football cabin or the surrounding area. The football cabin is now having to be demolished due to its deteriora�on. This is going to be replaced by a metal cabin that has been funded by West Suffolk Council Covid-19 Business Grant.

Leon Jones, Commi5ee Member, has decided to resign from the commi5ee. The Commi5ee are very grateful for all his help with the electrics and other handyman issues that we have experienced over the years! He will be sorely missed and the Commi5ee are very sad to see him leave.

The Community Council meet (pandemics permiTng) every other month to discuss the upkeep and running of the community centre. This is a village facility and is

run by members of the village. We are always looking for new members to help, so if you find yourself with a bit of free �me and would like to join, then please contact Enid Gathercole, Chairman.

Fornham All Saints Church News

Fornham All Saints Church welcomed Reverend Sarah Geilesky for their tradi�onal Family Service on May 2nd and also welcomed the band returning aNer the enforced break and were clearly in good voice!

The theme for the service was based on the reading from St John's Gospel, "I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine-grower", beau�fully read by Anna Geilesky. The congrega�on were liNed by the joy and zeal demonstrated throughout the service. The idea of the vine and the branches was clearly shown with a vine creeping around the pulpit. Oscar and HaTe were great helpers in puTng the fruits of the vine onto the pulpit.

Thank you Sarah for inspiring us on the day. We joyfully sang our final hymn in the sunshine outside.

Our thanks also to Kim, Emma, Steve, Theo and Anna for their loyal and varied contribu�ons to our worship at Fornham All Saints over many years.

Fornham All Saints Parish Council - Quiet Lanes Project

Dear Resident Suffolk County Council has offered its support to parish councils for a locally driven, centrally funded scheme of designa�ng certain roads as Quiet Lanes. These types of lanes do not impose any traffic restric�ons but seek to inform road users of the presence of walkers, cyclists, horse riders etc and to show more respect for vulnerable road users. Nearly 400 lanes within Suffolk have been put forward for

designa�on, with the aim of crea�ng a network of Quiet Lanes across the County.

The main purposes of Quiet Lanes are that they offer a safer environment for non-motorised travellers and can help to protect our rural environment. They are not intended to be used as a traffic calming measure but seek to improve road

safety and encourage walking and cycling, bringing benefits to well-being. Advisory

signs are placed at either end of Quiet Lanes to show motorised users clearly that the road is a shared space.

Risby and Fornham All Saints Parish Councils have iden�fied Mere Lane as being suitable for designa�on – see route marked in green on the map below.

General criteria for Quiet Lanes are that they are single track lanes (i.e. with passing places, no line markings) typically carrying less than 1,000 vehicle trips per day in either direc�on. The selected

lanes are already popular with walkers, cyclists and horse riders, and the inten�on is to encourage that use. We feel that this would be of real benefit to the village and those who visit.

8

The process of Designa�on requires public awareness and consulta�on. With the current limited nature of parish council public mee�ngs this note seeks to inform and consult on your views about these proposals.

We would welcome these by email to [email protected]

Hugo Greer-Walker: Fornham All Saints Parish Council (Tel: 07309 045 130)

Quiet Lanes Suffolk – Mere Lane

Following the prescribed consulta�on process we are pleased to confirm that Mere Lane / Hyde Road is to be included in Wave 2 of the QLS scheme.

That means that on 24 May no�ces of proposals to designate were erected and delivered to residents.

News from River Lark Catchment Partnership

More water in the Lark: the developments men�oned in the November newsle5er are all proceeding with Anglian Water (AW) having put in place a specific project to deliver more water to the river in 2024/2025. At last aNer many years of going up, an absolute cap or ceiling on all AW extrac�on from the Lark will also be put in place. Concrete details of what is planned are promised for mid2021. A number of the downstream tributaries of the Lark will also have reduced borehole extrac�on.

River pollu'on An extensive study has confirmed that urban and rural phosphorus is the Number 1 pollutant in the Lark. A mee�ng is taking place with Jo Churchill to establish how to move forward with tackling this challenge. Although major ac�on was taken a number of years ago to take out urban phosphorus at the Fornham STW, more work is needed. Rural phosphorus originates as run-off from upstream Lark farming areas.

Fornham Community Wood RLCP are con�nuing to discuss the wood with AW. Earlier this month there was an agenda item on the Fornham St Mar�n cum St Genevieve Parish Council about the wood. RLCP asked whether the PC would be suppor�ve of community landscape work along the river bank there. Volunteer work restar'ng RLCP is planning to restart volunteer work next month. Please contact David Emerson at [email protected] if you are interested.

The River Lark Naviga�on: Part 10

ANer the semi-derelic�on of the waterway reported by William Howle5 in August 1906, some maintenance to appear to have been carried out, the lock gate at King’s Staunch (between Jude’s Ferry and Mildenhall) having been repaired by the end of the year. The popularity of fishing con�nued, with angling par�es con�nuing to hire barges, presumably to allow different loca�ons to be fished in a single day.

Bargeman Robert Lee had a good business on the river, trading as far upstream as Icklingham with his vessels carrying coal, stone, and grain. It is not clear why he came to the Lark Valley: born in 1868, he bought his own two barges for £11 at the age of 15, carrying traffic on the River Nene between Wisbech and Peterborough.

It is possible that, on the Lark, he used one barge for the trade described above, and the other for pleasure purposes, William Howle5 making the following entry in his diaries on 14 April 1908: Robert Lee (has) a good pleasure

barge…..so that….par�es of twenty or more can be conveyed from Mildenhall …. to Denver, Li2leport, or Ely, and also upstream to Icklingham…on a charming excursion. Robert Lee has a good horse and knows every inch of the river. By

June 1909, facili�es on-board had been extended to include a nice bedroom, siTng room, cooking stove, and all on-board requirements, with Lee and his horse towing the barge to any loca�on on the Lark required by the hirer – an early example of a holiday let!

The business does not appear to have been successful, Robert Lee re�ring in 1911 at the age of 43 to live on a converted barge on the Nene at Peterborough. This was probably the same “pleasure” barge he had operated on the Lark Naviga�on.

12

This period of commercial ac�vity only seems to have been a brief interrup�on of the long period of decline on the river. Parker Brothers Ltd sold the River Lark Naviga�on in 1909 to William Parker (presumably a family member) for £10! Lord Bristol, a driving force behind the development of the waterway and a major investor, died in 1907, with no other local families willing to con�nue inves�ng capital. Temple Bridge at Icklingham was rebuilt as a more substan�al structure between 1911 and 1912, handling traffic for around a century un�l cracking resulted in closure to road vehicles around ten years ago.

An era came to an end on 8 June 1915, with the death of William Howle5 at the age of 73. Chimney Mill at West Stow closed the following year, and with it, the need for the staunch, dismantling being undertaken by German prisoners of war. That s�ll leN seven grain mills between Bury and Mildenhall, at:

•••••••

Babwell (Tollgate) Fornham All Saints Fornham St Mar�n Hengrave Lackford Icklingham Barton Mills

It is highly unlikely that the Tollgate Mill was s�ll in opera�on at this �me, as the lock there was derelict. Flooding along the Lark, the Cam, and the Ouse was now becoming commonplace, as a result of which the Ouse Drainage Board was set up in 1920.

LARKS GATE HERITAGE ORCHARD

It was a great surprise for the residents of Larks Gate when West Suffolk Council arrived one day in January with a ‘robo�c’ lawnmower. This bit of kit proceeded to mow around the fruit trees and the whole of the orchard, doing a very efficient job. We look forward to seeing it again. Back at the beginning of April we were treated to a beau�ful display of blossom from most of the new fruit trees planted by last year in the meadow, opposite Larks Gate. Unfortunately the weather deteriorated and we began to see quite severe frosts. We, in Larks Gate became quite concerned for the fruit trees and decided to protect the blossom in order to protect the forthcoming fruit and covered the trees with the most blossoms (the ones we could reach) with plas�c sacks. The frosts lasted several weeks, but eventually the trees were released and appear to have suffered no ill effects. Indeed, the blossom has been more plen�ful and we are hoping the village will enjoy some fruit in the summer. As we were walking round the orchard we had a wonderful surprise and found several clumps of cowslips, and the plan is to sow some wild flowers over some of the areas giving a real sense that once an un�dy field will become a very a5rac�ve orchard. Many thanks to the Parish Council and Greener Growth for ins�ga�ng this project.

Marham Park Wildlife

Located on the outskirts of Fornham All Saints, Marham Park is a new villagestyle development by Countryside, encompassing a variety of new homes and around 40 acres of parkland and open space.

Marham Park has provided the opportunity to open up access to na�ve countryside for residents and the wider community to enjoy. The 35-acre Country Park that has been created at Marham Park has been specifically designed to encourage biodiversity and to provide new habitats for wildlife to thrive.

Prior to the development of Marham Park, Countryside undertook extensive studies into the environmental aspects of the proposals, to sensi�vely inform the design of the new neighbourhood. This included an ecology survey to be5er understand the local wildlife on site – with a variety of common plant species as well as a range of insect, bird, mammal and rep�le species found to inhabit or forage there.

Countryside has established varied new habitats to address the impact on local wildlife, including over 15 acres of new wildflower meadow, over 10 acres of species-rich grassland, over 3 acres of new coppice and other woodland and 1.5 acres of new na�ve scrub. In addi�on, substan�al areas of new wetland habitat incorporate three large flood a5enua�on ponds - all designed to maximise their biodiversity value - and over 3 kilometres of swale.

While the majority of trees and hedgerows have been retained, Countryside has also planted more than five hundred new individual trees, the majority of which are na�ve, alongside 1.4 kilometres of new hedgerow. Small areas of other habitat include groups of orchard trees.

The species-rich grassland areas have been designed to be a5rac�ve to a wide range of insects and provide extensive foraging areas for bats, birds, shrews and hedgehogs. This type of habitat is also expected to be a5rac�ve to the commonest species of rep�le found in Suffolk.

16

A number of loggeries have also been established to enhance the habitat for insects, in par�cular beetles, where part-buried logs provide areas of roTng wood, essen�al for their lifecycle.

The early ecology survey recorded the presence of five species of bat, as well as bird species including skylark, dunnock, linnet and yellowhammer, and as such several bird and bat nest boxes have also been installed. Meanwhile, suppor�ng the hedgehog popula�on, hedgehog houses and highways have been incorporated throughout the neighbourhood.

Gwilt, Esq., Icklingham,where that gentleman had arranged in one room a variety of Roman antiquities found at Icktingham,and in another a collectionof Saxon weaponsand ornaments,from the adjoiningparish of West Stow. • The paper by Sir Henry E. Bunbury, Bart., on the nature of the Roman occupationat Icklingham,whichis printed in p. 250,washere read. The Secretarythen gavea brief explanationofthe SaxonrelicsexhibitedbyMr. Gwilt,and calledattention to•the fact thatZrelics of the Anglo-Saxonperiod had beenfoundin Icklingham,whileon the Hedth in the adjoiningparish of Stow,and near to the site of the Roman camp at Icklingham,Saxon antiquities alone are found ; leading to the belief that the two races were here in opposition to each other. The number of skeletons found, and the nature of the objects discoveredwith them,lie observed,shew that Stow Heath must havebeen for a considerabletimeused as a burialplace. The relicsconsistof urns rudely designed, andformedbyhandout ofblackearth; bossesofshields,andspearsofiron,&c.; bronze fibulteand clasps,with fragmentsof cloth adheringto them; and beads.

    Excursions. August 10Th, 1922. (Livermere, Ampton, Wordwell

    EXCURSIONS. AUGUST10TH,1922. On August 10th an attractive Excursion Programmedrew many Membersand friends to Bury Station, which was the meeting and starting point for our round ofvisits, commencingwiththe thatched Church of St Peter, Great Livermere. Here the Rector, the Rev. H: C. Dobree pointed out features of interest, also mentioningthat Baptist Lee, who ownedthe Hall during the latter part of the 18th century, won a prize of £30,000in a State Lottery and improved the property, enclosed the Common (conditionally on payment yearly for ever of £8 to the Feofeesof Great Livermere)formed a Deer Park and made so many alterations that Little Livermere Church becameisolated and is now only used-for funerals. Our next halting place was Ampton Church, where the Rector, the Rev. W. A. Wickham read a most interesting Paper and drew our attention to Cokets Chantry, a Palimpsest Brass and the Ampton Sealed Book. (An article by the Rector giving the His- tory of this SealedBook, appears in the last issue of our Proceed- ings). From Ampton we went to Wordwell Church, a tiny Church but big with interest to archaeologists,as so many suggestionsof the earliest form of CliurchArchitecture still remain. The whole atmosphere is Saxon. The Chancel was evidently once Apsidal, and in the Arch separating it from the Nave, is the Long and Short work typical of the Saxontouch. This Arch being the Triumphal Arch symbolizingthe Gate of Heaven. The Doorwayin the outside North wall preservesthe survival of a very primitive style of building,for here the Pilasters that form the jambs of the door are not parallel but contract from the base to the top, being nearer together above than below.
