Hardwicke, Elmore & Longney HARDWICKE, ELMORE & LONGNEY I will point out the road you should follow, I will be your teacher and watch over you. Psalms 32.8. CONTENTS Welcome St Nicholas, Hardwicke We would love you to … St John the Baptist, Our Benefice Elmore Our Life Together & St Laurence, Longney Opportunities Challenges Our Church Schools Benefice Service Pattern Our Music Profile Data The Vicarage In Conclusion Thank you WELCOME Thank you for taking the time to look through our Benefice Profile and hopefully we will have the opportunity to discuss our future with you. We support a spirit of hospitality and fellowship as we seek to celebrate God’s love in both traditional and more modern ways. We are an inclusive Benefice welcoming all people on their personal journeys of faith style. As a Benefice and within each Church we aim to work as a collaborative team encouraging everyone to find and use their talents to serve as the holy spirit moves among us. We are supported by our assistant retired priest and Readers and and a team of church wardens, PCC members and willing helpers from the congregation all of whom offer a warm welcome. We are a Benefice that has nurtured individuals to follow their calling to serve Christ. WE WOULD LOVE YOU TO … Be passionate with fresh ideas to challenge us. Enable us to continue on a path of discovery into a life focused on Jesus. Be happy to support a variety of worship styles. Nurture and strengthen relationships with our schools. Lead, enable and encourage outreach to our growing communities. To help and show us ways to extend our mission into new housing developments. Have a Sense of humour – probably advisable. OUR BENEFICE The Benefice of Hardwicke, Elmore and Longney lies in the picturesque Severn Vale, with easy access to the Cotswolds, Bristol and Forest of Dean. Gloucester and Cheltenham offer shopping, theatre, restaurants and nationally recognised literature, music and science festivals. Gloucester Cathedral is only 15 minutes drive away. The Benefice enjoys the variety of three distinct parishes. Hardwicke, a semi–urban parish, is seeing significant expansion with some 4,000 homes planned for the next 10 years and a new population of 10,000. Elmore and Longney are rural, more traditional communities and both churches are set in open countryside overlooking the River Severn. The different parishes’ distinct characteristics allow more contemporary worship to coexist with traditional forms. All three parishes have a ring of bells. The Benefice has had links with the Swedish Benefice (5 parishes) of Kungsåra in the Diocese of Västerås. It would be good to hold exchange trips after the appointment of the Vicar. The PCCs enjoy good relations with the ministry team and their congregations. The churches have a track record of fund raising with support from their communities. Elmore and Longney parish finances are currently sound, Hardwicke as with many Churches can be a challenge. All the churches are well maintained. OUR LIFE TOGETHER & OPPORTUNITIES We aim to provide something for everyone in The Vision for the Diocese of our Benefice:- Gloucester 2017-2022.

Hardwicke celebrate using traditional hymns on the organ and modern worship songs by The Hardwicke Music Group who have performed at church events. The music Group are supported by a growing band of enthusiastic singers – ever increasing. THE VICARAGE The vicarage is a modern comfortable house.

ST NICHOLAS HARDWICKE HARDWICKE PARISH St Nicholas church dates back to 1092 and is situated in a rural setting yet serving an ever-expanding urban community. We need a leader to bring fresh ideas and enthusiasm to work collaboratively with us in building our church community. There is potential for growth in numbers and in spirituality with new estates being built. We tithe ten percent of our open plate income to Mission Aviation Fellowship and also support the Food Bank and Mission in Mozambique as part of our charitable giving. OUR LIFE AND HOPES TOGETHER Sunday School meets twice a month during the morning service, using the Montessori style teaching ‘Godly Play’. All Churches have a ring of bells, however Hardwicke has a chime bell ringer. Prayer Shawl Ministry ‘Tea Cake and Something Else’ Ministry to people in sheltered housing and care homes. New School in Hunts Grove opening in September 2019. Whilst valuing the historic features connected to the Tr ye family, such as the table top tombs and Laudian Rails (dating back to 1640). We are investigating the re- ordering or our Church to maximise the use of our building. We have a closed Church yard, that is maintained by the Parish Council. We have a children’s charter. ST JOHN THE BAPTIST, ELMORE ELMORE PARISH Elmore is the most northerly of the three The churchyard is maintained by volunteers parishes in the Benefice, lying between the who regularly mow, maintain trees and Gloucester – Sharpness canal and the River completed a major job to create long term Severn. It is an historic, rural village with houses burial space. Some of the finest table top tombs and farms throughout its length. in the country are found here, recognised The population of 219 includes families many of nationally and Grade 1listed . whom have been in Elmore for generations. The distinct character of Elmore is its unique community spirit, coming together for fund raising, gatherings and celebrations throughout the year. St John the Baptist church was consecrated in 1315. The building is in respectable condition; the tower, north wall and pew foundations have been repaired in the last 15 years, the roof is in reasonable order and oil fired heating was installed in 2003. In 2017 a toilet with disabled access and kitchenette was built. A security system was fitted in 2018. The maintenance plan includes roofing, decoration, lighting and gravestone repairs. OUR LIFE AND HOPES TOGETHER Longney and Elmore share an excellent choir, two organists and bell ringers. The PCC is highly supportive with backing from Finance and Fabric Committees. Elmore Court is an historic landmark and now runs as a nationally known wedding and events venue. It is as a result of close co-operation between our previous incumbent and the Elmore Court Weddings Team, that many of the weddings are held at our church. It is an important part of our ministry and one which brings additional modest income but with attendant significant obligations for management, cleaning and repairs. It is gratifying to note how many of these families are now returning to St John the Baptist for baptisms, worship and visits from across the UK. The Village Hall, originally the school, is active and much used. The Women’s Institute, Village Players, Toddler Group, Bridge Group, Pilates and Yoga classes and Brownies all meet here. The Hall is used by the PCC for church fund-raising including the Harvest Supper, Christmas Lunch and PCC meetings during the winter months. ST LAURENCE, LONGNEY LONGNEY PARISH Longney lies in the Severn Vale, about eight miles south of Gloucester. The church stands at the top of the village, opposite the thriving village school. The population of 200 is scattered around the road joining Elmore with Longney and Epney, which has The Anchor public house on the banks of the River Severn. St Laurence’s Church has a wonderful atmosphere with strong natural light from the major elevations. We have a reputation for enthusiastic worship and for welcoming visitors. Our strong musical tradition is led by the outstanding choir and organist and also by the bell ringers, (all shared with Elmore). Eucharist services take place twice monthly, and we alternate with Elmore for the major festivals. The church building and churchyard are well maintained by volunteers from the church.

  • Stroud Labour Party
    Gloucestershire County Council single member ward review Response from Stroud Constituency Labour Party Introduction On 30 November the Local Government Boundary Commission started its second period of consultation for a pattern of divisions for Gloucestershire. Between 30 November and 21 February the Commission is inviting comments on the division boundaries for GCC. Following the completion of its initial consultation, the Commission has proposed that the number of county councillors should be reduced from 63 to 53. The districts have provided the estimated numbers for the electorate in their areas in 2016; the total number for the county is 490,674 so that the average electorate per councillor would be 9258 (cf. 7431 in 2010). The main purpose of this note is to draw attention to the constraints imposed on proposals for a new pattern of divisions in Stroud district, which could lead to anomalies, particularly in ‘bolting together’ dissimilar district wards and parishes in order to meet purely numerical constraints. In it own words ‘the Commission aims to recommend a pattern of divisions that achieves good electoral equality, reflects community identities and interests and provides for effective and convenient local government. It will also seek to use strong, easily-identifiable boundaries. ‘Proposals should demonstrate how any pattern of divisions aids the provision of effective and convenient local government and why any deterioration in equality of representation or community identity should be accepted. Representations that are supported by evidence and argument will carry more weight with the Commission than those which merely assert a point of view.’ While a new pattern of ten county council divisions is suggested in this note, it is not regarded as definitive but does contain ways of avoiding some possible major anomalies.

  • Marine Safety in the Severn Estuary & Lower
    Marine Safety in the Severn Estuary & Lower Wye A Guide to Safe Navigation for Small Craft and Notes for River Bank Users (Updated May 2017) INTRODUCTION TO THE SEVERN ESTUARY The Severn Estuary can be a dangerous place, with shifting sands, a rapid rise of tide and strong tidal currents. Those who use the estuary need to be aware of the dangers and ready to deal with them safely. Since 1889 the Gloucester Harbour Trustees have regulated navigation and provided aids in the estuary to assist in the safe passage of all craft, whether commercial shipping or sailing dinghies. We have produced this guide to help all users of the estuary to understand the hazards and to know what to look out for, what to avoid and how to respond in an emergency. We hope that the information will be a useful contribution to the continued safe use of the estuary. The Gloucester Harbour is the formal name given to a defined area for which the Gloucester Harbour Trustees is the conservancy, harbour and local lighthouse authority. This area includes the River Severn and its estuary, extending from the Maisemore and Llanthony weirs near Gloucester, to lines seaward of the Second Severn Crossing. The River Wye as far as Bigsweir Bridge also falls within this area. 2 INDEX TO SECTIONS 1 General Safety Considerations 2 General Advice to Vessels 3 Tidal Considerations 4 Safety of Small Craft and Canal Craft 5 Conduct of Vessels 6 The River Severn between the Second Severn Crossing and Sharpness Dock 7 The River Severn between Sharpness Dock and Gloucester 8 The River

CANAL BRIDGES Nick Worthington, Waterway Manager from the Canals and Rivers Trust (CART) provided an update on the plans to change the operating system on the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal. The idea is to move the bridge operation to a self-service system. This is being developed in conjunction with colleagues in the UK and Europe. Over recent months some of the technology has been tested on the bridge in Saul. Since February 2014 the bridge has not been operated in the usual way, it has been operated through a mobile phone. There have been lasers installed on the bridge which operate in a similar way to the technology on railway crossings; they check that the area around the bridge is clear in order for it to swing.
