Villager 251 March 2016 The Villager Villager No. 251 March 2016 Looks like 2016 is going to be busy in Motcombe again - plans are underway for the Village Fete, volunteers always required! Moviola shows wonderful movies each month, it really makes a good social evening out with all the refreshments in the break. W.I. and Gardening Club always find interesting topics - it's a wonder they don’t run out of ideas. Great to see the Memorial Hall be so well used and the Methodist Hall is very busy with coffee mornings, lunch club and soup club. We are lucky to have a village with so many activities for all age groups Mil has sent an article about what brought the Chilmey’s to Motcombe it would be great if others follow suit - Motcombe is a very popular village as estate agents often mention. Discover inside how important the Churchyard is for wildlife conservation. Articles can be handed to Gail or Mike or delivered to the following: Winters Grace, Elm Hill, Motcombe or e-mail [email protected] telephone 01747 850865 or Motcombe Community Shop, or Tanders, Elm Hill Motcombe telephone 01747 852545 The Cottages in Church Walk There were once three thatched cottages in Church Walk but some years ago the two closest the main brook were made into one. It may seem odd that the stone and slated one in the centre is not also thatched. This is because in about 1800 the former cottages were burnt down and were rebuilt except for the centre one which was constructed in the late 1840s, it is said, from stone and slates left over after the church was rebuilt. These dwellings and some others, including the old work house, belonged to a charity called The Feoffees Land. (Feoffee is an old word for a trustee.) There were two other Motcombe charities, The Allotment Land and the Wykes Charity. They have been amalgamated and are now called Motcombe United Charities. As the properties and land belonging to them were sold off many years ago income from the investments is very small. More about these charities in a future article. L. CLARK Motcombe Moviola The Lady in the Van – March 16th at 7.30pm Based on a true story by Alan Bennett. A man forms an unexpected bond with a transient woman living in her car that's parked in his driveway. Stars Maggie Smith and Alex Jennings. Brooklyn – April 20th at 7.30pm Written by Nick Hornby. An Irish immigrant lands in 1950s Brooklyn, where she quickly falls into a new romance. When her past catches up with her, however, she must choose between two countries and the lives that exist within. Stars Domhnall Gleeson and Soiarse Ronan. Motcombe Village Magazine 251 Page 2 March 2016 Seniors Lunch We would like to thank Port Regis School for once again allowing us to host this lovely village event, and to Gill Ellis, for cooking a fabulous lunch of Roast Beef. We were lucky to have a number of new volunteers this year to whom we are extremely grateful, and extend our thanks to them all. It was an enormous help to have so many people willing to put the tables away afterwards too. Once again we have been very fortunate to be given two anonymous donations towards the cost of the lunch this year, and would like to thank those responsible very much for their generosity. It is a village tradition which I am sure we would not like to lose. If anyone would like to join the committee they would be most welcome and we look forward to seeing you all in 2017. Can you Help? Two/three bedroom property to rent with garden, needed urgently in Motcombe or Shaftesbury for local family with 2 children at Motcombe Primary School, hence need to stay in area. References can be supplied Please call 01747 851293 Diamond Anniversary On the 6th March, Huw and Valerie Griffiths are celebrating their 60th Wedding Anniversary! This message come with lots of love from Kay ,Scott, Alice, Tom and Rosie Jackson and the rest of the family Motcombe Village Magazine 251 Page 3 March 2016 Motcombe Neighbourhood Plan Public Meetings The Parish Council invites all residents of Motcombe to attend either of two meetings to be held in the Memorial Hall on Monday, April 18th at 7.30pm or Saturday, April 23rd at 2.00pm What is a Neighbourhood Plan? A Neighbourhood Plan for Motcombe will be a community view on how the strategic policies in the recently approved North Dorset Local Plan should be applied to our village. We can influence planning decisions by deciding on preferred sites for development; identify constraints on development; produce guidelines on buildings design. The final Plan must be realistic and deliverable. At the meetings we want to hear your views on: Local needs - housing; business/employment; social; transport; other infrastructure. Assets we should protect - landscape; heritage,, environment, community facilities. Identify - places that could be changed for the better or provide development opportunities. The meetings will also be an opportunity to volunteer to become involved as part of the bigger team we will need to develop the Plan For more information please contact either: Peter Mouncey [email protected] 01747 858496 Nicky Phillips [email protected] If you are unable to attend a meeting your ideas are still welcome, please send them to either of the contacts above. Motcombe Village Magazine 251 Page 4 March 2016 Motcombe Village Fête – Saturday 18th June The Fête Committee have started planning this year’s event and would like you to put 18th June in your diary. The theme for this year is “Hats”. We would like everyone who attends to wear a hat. It could be a straight forward sun hat (we are hoping for a sunny day), or something more elaborate that you would like to enter in one of our Hat competitions. The actual competitions have yet to be finalised but possibilities are Best Decorated Hat (Adults), Best Decorated Hat (Childrens), Tallest Hat, Most Comical Hat and Most Elegantly Hatted Couple. So put your thinking caps on and start planning your hat. Anybody willing to run a Hat stall? You need to collect donated hats and then have them available for hatless people in exchange for a donation. Contact Bob Chimley ([email protected]) if you would like a stall and also if you can help on the day (car park, raffle etc) or erecting tents the day before – we wouldn’t be able to run the fête without our volunteers whose help we are very grateful for. Our chairman John Maynard is currently looking for organisations or individuals to sponsor our competitions and/or donate raffle prizes. Contact him ([email protected]) if you can help. David Scully has recently moved into the village and has generously volunteered to run a book stall/bric-a-brac stall. He will greatly appreciate suitable donations for it, so please take them to him at Motcombe Hall or to John Maynard (who can collect). All proceeds will go to the Hall. Lastly our committee is a little depleted this year so if you feel like helping us plan the event or have any ideas please contact either John or Bob as above. Wheelchairs for Ghana Jill Jenkinson is currently in Ghana to distribute wheelchairs; she has spent over two weeks in the children’s home for which many of you, in the church and village, generously gave clothing and toys. She has set up a library, organised the storage and use of toys, and even done some gardening. There was a problem with the wheelchairs being on the high seas; the wheelchair distribution was put back a week and thankfully all of the team were able to reschedule their dates. The wheelchairs cleared customs on the day the team arrived so all should now proceed as planned Thank you to all who prayed for the wheelchairs to arrive and clear customs in time. Motcombe Village Magazine 251 Page 5 March 2016 St. Mary’s Church, Motcombe After a long vacancy we now have a new vicar. We welcomed the Rev. Pam Rink and her husband Dennis to the village in early February. The church was full for the induction service with representatives from various village organisations and institutions, other local clergy and village residents joining the congregation. Pam is one of the clergy in the Shaftsbury team with responsibility for Motcombe, Margaret Marsh and East and West Orchard; she joins us from West Malling where she worked for the Pilsdon Community, in addition to having a ministerial role in a local church. We pray she will have a long, happy and fruitful ministry in Motcombe. Please note a change to our regular service pattern; the service of Holy Communion that used to be on Fridays has moved to Thursdays at 10am Our services for the next few weeks are as follows: Morning prayer is said at 8:30 Monday-Wednesday and Saturday, and Holy Communion on Thursdays at 10am. Service for the Women’s World Day of Prayer Friday 4th March at 7pm. Mothering Sunday 6th March at 9.30am - Parish Communion with thanksgiving and giving of posies to all those who ‘mother’ and nurture us. Messy Church is at 3pm on 13th March in Motcombe School. Services for Holy Week and Easter Morning prayer at 8.30 and Evening prayer at 5pm will be said Monday- Wednesday. Palm Sunday 20th March at 9.30am - Procession and Parish Communion. We will begin at the Village Hall and process from there to the Church.

  • Fontmell Magna
    Fontmell Magna Kelly’s Directory of Dorsetshire From the early 19th century, until well into the 20th century, the publication of postal, street and commercial directories was a common occurrence. From the mid-19th century these publications gave a description of each parish as well as listing all the farmers, tradesmen and nobility/gentlemen of the parish. It was Kelly's Directory (which started life as the Post Office Directory) that came to dominate the market from 1848 to 1939, but there were also directories by Hunt & Co. in 1851, J. G. Harrod in 1865, and Mercer & Crocker in 1871. Extracts of the directories featuring Fontmell Magna have been transcribed from original books in our Archive and at the Dorset History Centre. 1848 Post Office Directory of Dorsetshire etc. (published by W. Kelly and Co) FONTMELL MAGNA, a parish with the tything of four pinnacles, and bells. The south porch is very Hartgrove, the latter is in the borough of Shaftesbury, and curious.

    April THE GOSSIP TREE 2018 Issue 290 News & Views from the Parish of FONTMELL MAGNA This issue is kindly sponsored by John Jennings Notices – April 2018 On Sunday 1st April 2018, the Royal Air Force (RAF) will be celebrating its St. Andrew’s Church 100th birthday. The centenary will be marked by special events at local and Sun 1st 9.30am Easter Day Holy Communion national level and will include a fly-pass over London on Tuesday 10th July. (CW) Locally, the Shaftesbury branch of the RAF Association will focus celebration Sun 8th 9.30am Morning Worship Sun 15th 9.30am Sung Communion (CW) on the Gold Hill Fair on Sunday 1st July. Dedication of the Memorial As my life-span embraces all but the first 6 years of the RAF’s 100, and I wore Plaque to Canon Charles Pigott the Blue for almost 40 years, I look forward to these celebrations. Edmonds (see page 4) Remarkable feats were performed by the RAF in WW2 and it is no exaggeration Sun 22nd 9.30am Holy Communion (CW) to state that in 1940 the fate of the nation lay in its hands. It is a chastening Sun 29th 10.00am Benefice Service at Ashmore thought to consider the circumstances that would exist today if the battle had been lost. A goodly number of those who did survive the battle were killed on Prayers each Monday at 9.00am later operations and a much smaller number actually survived the war. I was privileged to know and serve with them. Parish Council Britain entered WW1 with two air elements: the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) – to No meeting this month - next meeting Monday 21st provide artillery spotting and reconnaissance for the army; and the Royal Naval May after the PC AGM and Annual Parish Meeting.
