Deadline for contributions, 15th of the month. Preferred format – A4 Word or JPEG (not PDF) Disclaimer: Please note that views expressed in articles are the views of the authors. 2 Tony and Barbara would like to thank everyone who came to our coffee morning to support the Air Ambulance. You raised an amazing total of £1,550.80 Thank you to all the helpers and especially to all who came and made the event successful. JOHN NASH Rosemary would like to thank all her friends and neighbours for such wonderful support, both during John's illness and after his passing. JAN REED Jan, for many years resident at Agricultural Cottages, Priors Hardwick, died at Llanidloes on 9th January and was buried in a family ceremony at Abermule Green Lane Burial Field on 17th. Jan was a much-loved member of our community and local friends will have an opportunity to celebrate her later in the year as her family plan to hold a memorial service in Priors Hardwick in the summer. TREE 0N THE GREEN CHRISTMAS LIGHT-UP This event seems ages ago but on behalf of PET, who hosted the event, we would like to thank all who helped make this annual event a success. Firstly, Southam Lions who assisted Father Christmas to find the children in Priors Marston, PMPC, Simon Ducker who always makes sure the lights are working, Rachel Ducker for again letting us use her kitchen to warm Hot Chocolate and Mince Pies, Anne-Marie Brown for keeping the Mulled Wine flowing, Pete Brown and John Brown for setting up lights, stalls etc., also helpers Sarah Mills, Charlotte Hamblin, Gary Phipps. Thank you all who came along to make this another enjoyable evening. We were also able to make a small donation to Southam Lions Charity, Lily Mae Foundation Dot Brown and Rebecca Phipps 3 Coffee and Chat The Priors Hall 10 ~11.30 am Thursday 6th February Everybody is welcome….bring a friend! Tea/Coffee and yummy biscuits…….£1 Look who popped in in December! 4 FROM THE CHURCH OF ST MARY, PRIORS HARDWICK TO ALL OUR READERS WE OFFER OUR VERY BEST WISHES FOR 2020 Donation from Harvest Festival 2019 The letter of thanks from the Farming Community Network for our gift of £324.14 came just too late for mention in the last Magazine. The letter listed some of the challenges farmers face at present and noted that thanks to donations such as ours, FCN is able to provide “vital practical and pastoral support through their helpline and network of dedicated volunteers.” A copy of the letter is on the village noticeboard and in church. Christmas Carol Service – Christmas Eve 2019 We were delighted to welcome over 170 people and have received many expressions of appreciation for such an appropriate and enjoyable event! A large number of people had contributed to the success, whose efforts were apparent in the church and as the service progressed. But there is another (mostly unseen) group who also deserve mention: all those who clear up, wash up and then 12 days later, dismantle the tree and remove the floral decorations - and do a more onerous job than usual in cleaning the church! To them all we offer our sincere thanks. The collection at the service amounted to £558.08 of which £150 was sent to WaterAid. The remainder will be used to maintain our church building. The Lord’s Prayer Book Marks These are a donation from The Bridges Group for anyone who would like one (or more!). We hope that those who wished helped themselves to one at the Carol Service, and there are plenty left in the pews in church as I write, so if you’d like one, please do likewise! New! ”News for the Pews” For some years now our Priest-in-Charge, Gillian, has been sending, weekly, by email, a list of church and church-related news and events. Now, beginning in the new decade, hard copies of this can be found weekly, in church. So again, if you are not on email – or would like a copy anyway, please help yourself from the shelf in the church. If, however you would like to receive a copy by email, please send Gillian a message to that effect. Her contact details are at the front of this magazine. A & M Flexibus This service now runs on WEDNESDAYS between Priors Hardwick and Rugby, leaving the Butchers Arms at 9.25am. As well as the driver, there is an attendant who will help you with your bags etc., so return times are a bit variable but usually back by 2.00pm. There is also a similar service from Napton (The Victory Club) to Banbury on Thursdays. The contact number is: 01926 612487. NB The notice in the bus shelter remains unchanged!

We are most grateful for the generous donations received so far this year. MOBILE LIBRARY The Library will continue its regular routine in February. It will call at Priors Hardwick, outside the church, on Wednesday, 19th February from 11.05 until 11.25am All are welcome COLLECTION OF POSTCARDS – USED OR UNUSED Postcards, used or unused, may be left in the box in the Churches at Priors Marston and Priors Hardwick or in the ‘phone box at Priors Hardwick. In Priors Hardwick, these will be used by Mission Aviation Fellowship and in Priors Marston by the Leprosy Mission. USED STAMPS Please continue to save your used stamps, on a good margin of paper. There are boxes for these in the Church at Priors Marston and in the ‘phone box at Priors Hardwick. The stamps will be trimmed, providing welcome therapy, by residents at a local care home and then used to provide funds for The Leprosy Mission. Very many thanks to those who donated so many stamps in recent months! 7 Resisting Temptation Have all your New Year’s resolutions gone out of window yet? Have you given up on “Dry January” or “Veganuary” (adopting a vegan lifestyle)? Have you given in to temptation? At the end of the month, Christians head into the season of Lent when we remember Jesus going into the desert to spend time with his heavenly Father before the beginning of his earthly mission and ministry. (Note to self – it is always worth having some quiet time, especially with God, before setting out on a major new venture or project.) But while he was in the desert, it wasn’t long before Jesus was confronted by the devil, trying to tempt him off course. Jesus was tempted to turn stones into bread - to use his power for his own benefit. Jesus was tempted to throw himself off the temple - to test God. Finally, he was offered control of the world if he worshipped the devil - to distract him from his mission and make him focus on worldly power. Jesus was tempted to doubt God, to put his trust into something else, to rely on his own power, to worship something other than God.

Appendix 33 Draft: 7.1 Page 2 1.0 INTRODUCTION Priors Marston lies to the east of Warwickshire, adjacent to the Northamptonshire and Oxfordshire borders. With a population approaching 600, it is a rural community that enjoys a largely unspoilt environment. For a parish of our size we enjoy good facilities. These include a Parish Church, a Primary School, a Village Hall with a part-time Post Office and sports facilities including football and cricket pitches and two hard tennis courts. In 2005, a Parish Plan was adopted, copies of which can be found on the village website at www.priorsmarston.org and in autumn 2017 it was agreed that it needed to be updated. Following a well-attended Parish meeting, a detailed Parish Survey was conducted early in 2018 and the full report of the survey is available on the village website. The results of the survey form the backbone of this plan and a summary of actions can be found at the back of this document.

  • The Veteran Trees of Warwickshire
    THE VETERAN TREES OF WARWICKSHIRE Steven Falk, 2011 An ancient oak at Ragley Park THE VETERAN TREES OF WARWICKSHIRE Introduction Traditionally, much fuss has been made of old buildings and other historic man-made structures in our countryside and built environment. Rather neglected amongst all of this until recently has been concern over some of our oldest living features, veteran trees. Through a series of historic circumstances, the British countryside has come to support a far greater density of old trees than most parts of either Europe or lowland North America. They survive in our ancient hedges (which can be of medieval origin or older), former deer parks, and sometimes perched on the sides of steep hills where various potentially damaging agricultural activities have failed to reach them. Many have seen the landscape around them change out of all recognition as they have become swallowed up by urban sprawl or changing land-use. Deer parks may have become replaced by business parks or golf courses but the original trees sometimes survive e.g. at Stoneleigh Park. Rural hedgerows may now be urban property boundaries. This results in an often incongruous modern location for many old trees. However, it also means that such trees furnish valuable clues about the history of an area, firing the imaginations of local people and furnishing a stronger sense of place and local identity. Imagine Baginton without its great oak. Unfortunately changing circumstances also result in much loss and damage and makes veteran tree conservation particularly challenging in a world where health and safety and legal liability carry a lot of sway.
