Parish Magazine PARISH MAGAZINE for the villages of Lugwardine, Bartestree, Weston Beggard and Dormington JULY 2020 50p Editorial Once again I’m afraid this magazine is having to be online with no hard copies available for those unable to view it electronically. I do apologise for this and just hope it will be possible to go back to the printed version in the near future. It seems so sad having to cut out the ‘Diary of Events’ when at this time of year there are usually so many community fundraising events happening. However, I’m sure once this pandemic has been brought under control there will be renewed enthusiasm to support all the various community activities. It will be a very hard time for everyone trying to get back to normality, but if there is one thing this virus has shown us it is that our community matters and support for our local enterprises and charities will be vital. I had thought there would be little to go in this edition of the magazine but was particularly delighted to get Vic Breeze’s wonderful Gardening Club account of his favourite plants he has been nurturing during lockdown. His Eschscholzia California reminds me of my childhood as the spelling of Eschscholzia was a regular pocket money question of my father’s. Luckily I used to get my pocket money whether I got it right or not, and I still can’t spell it! I am always so delighted to receive unexpected varied copy for the magazine so do please keep them rolling in. If there is anybody who would like to contribute a regular article of their choice, preferably with local connection but not necessarily so, do please let me know. I am open to suggestions. Those of you who have seen the magnificent ‘Candle of Defiance against Covid19’ made by Robin Peers (see Page 5) will have been awestruck by the fantastic workmanship of his creation which he has spent hours making during lockdown and which he has gifted to the 5 churches in our benefice. It is wonderfully uplifting to see so much creativity coming from this awful pandemic. Simon’s letter is so good at pointing out the good things that have resulted from this difficult time and, though there are many, many people who will have suffered severe hardship, hopefully we can harness these good aspects and come out of this a more considerate and less greedy society. I’m afraid I am unable to say at this stage whether the August magazine will be back to being the printed version or whether it will still only be available to see online. Maggie Henderson Copy for the Parish Magazine should reach the Editor at ‘The Old School’, Rhystone Lane, Lugwardine, Hereford HR1 4AW or e-mailed to:- [email protected] by the 15th of the preceding month. 2 BARTESTREE CROSS GROUP OF PARISHES Www.achurchnearyou.com Rector: Reverend Simon Tarlton The Vicarage, Lugwardine, Herefordshire, HR1 4AE Tel: 01432 507986 Email: [email protected] I am writing this letter on 15th June. Today I removed a sign I put up on the doors of each of our churches on 24th March which read, “As part of the response to the range of new measures announced by the Government, this church is now closed until further notice.” I can still remember the heaviness and despair with which I pinned up that first sign, the dismay, confusion, incredible sadness, anger and despair. A huge breadth of emotions that, combined, defied processes of logical thought or even the faintest hope that this was nothing more than a bad dream. Barely 6 months after becoming your Rector I was being forced to close your beloved churches. 83 days later I was finally able to put up a new sign. This one reads, “Our church building is open for private prayer”. In each of our churches (see next page for details) the opportunity now exists to go in and sit quietly, to seek refuge from the world about us and perhaps find a little peace and connection. It has been a long time coming. I acknowledge that, for some, it may have come too soon and that we should have been more cautious. Others will take the opposite view and feel that the response by the national Church to close all churches was too heavy handed and failed to recognise differences between urban and rural settings. Wherever you are on that spectrum, with these first signs of things returning to some sort of normal, I think we can all unite and rejoice in the prospect of a renewal of public worship and the opportunity for our churches once again to play their full role in the lives of our communities. Although for many lockdown has represented a time of considerable burden and significant sacrifice, there has also been plenty to celebrate. There have certainly been considerable challenges, but this time has not been without its opportunities, blessings and moments of unexpected joy. One of those joys has been the opportunity to participate in and be more aware of the glorious natural world around us. Since the start of lockdown leaves have appeared, the air has warmed, and the shoots of new life have emerged from the soil. With the reduction in pollution there has been a trembling joy in spring growth, in clean air, in birdsong. At the Vicarage pea and bean seedlings have moved from kitchen windowsill to a new vegetable plot and I expect for many of us our gardens have never looked as good as they do now. Lockdown has also shown us the evidence of extraordinary kindness. Reaching out in kindness has become a feature of these long weeks as we see neighbours speaking who have never spoken, offers of help between strangers, hundreds of thousands volunteering their time, rainbows in windows, clapping, and the many, many phone calls and attempts to teach the mysteries of ‘Zoom’ to those, like me, who can barely operate a TV remote control. When the history of lockdown is written it will be incomplete without a chapter on kindness and alongside it should come another chapter on generosity. Whilst we may have had to think more carefully about how and where we spend our money, there has also been a rethinking about how to be generous with the skills and time that we have, recognising perhaps how much more we receive when we give freely. And then there is love. The experience of living through a global pandemic has offered us, in our comparative wealth and comfort, just a mere taste of the fragile, uncertain and dangerous lives that many displaced and oppressed people of our own country and across the world cope with long term, with no ending in sight and requires us to ask ourselves a number of questions. How will we turn the challenges and disruption we have experienced to join our voices to an empathetic, fervent call for justice. How will it impact the way we live, relate, move, give, and love? How can we now think and move differently? What issues, that we might have thought crucial in the past, now seem completely unimportant? How will we now love more richly? Simon 3 Slight Easing of Lockdown measures We are once again to be allowed access to our churches for private prayer and reflection. Our response to this relaxation has to be made in the context of the resources we have available to keep our churches clean and our people safe. With these factors in mind the churches in the Group will, from Monday 15th June, be open for private prayer as follows; Withington—open every day 12-4pm Westhide—open every day Lugwardine—open every Monday 12-4pm Dormington—open every Friday 10-4pm Weston Beggard—closed as usual but can be opened for private prayer. Please contact Simon or Wendy if you would like access. In each church there will be clear guidelines as to where to sit and the parts of the church that have to remain out of bounds. Please do follow the instructions which are there for everyone’s safety. From Bishop Richard Jackson, Bishop of Hereford I’ve lost count of the number of times politicians have told bishops to keep their noses out of politics. We are meant to be concerned about spiritual matters, but we should leave the business of government and politics to trained professionals. I’m not sure what they would have said to Jesus. He often spoke about matters to do with money and justice that would appear to be firmly in the political realm. In fact, all of the Bible writers, particularly the prophets, saw our spiritual lives as integral to our political and economic ones. In Isaiah’s day there was a spiritual revival with very intense worship and fasting going on in the Temple. Unfortunately, it seemed to have had no effect on the way people behaved, leading him to make the pronouncement, “Is this not the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free.” Someone once said worship without justice is self-indulgence. If worship doesn’t make us more concerned about the unjust structures of society or determined to exercise better stewardship of the earth, its probably not the sort of worship the bible envisages. To truly worship is to tune our hearts to God’s heart. If our hearts are tuned to his, they will beat to the same rhythm.

  • ELECTORAL REVIEW of HEREFORDSHIRE
    22 November 2012 Review Officer (Herefordshire) LGBCE, Layden House, 76-86 Turnmill Street, London EC1M 5LG Dear Sir ELECTORAL REVIEW of HEREFORDSHIRE I support the Commission’s plan for a 53 member council made up of single member wards, and hope the Commission will resist any moves to make way for any multi- member wards. There were some gremlins however in your report – most notably mis- reading of compass bearings! Eardisley is firmly located in the west, whereas Colwall is the east (page 15), and Fownhope is east of Hereford (page 17). But the Commission is to be congratulated on steering through a workable solution despite all the constraints imposed both by the regulations and the socio-political geography of Herefordshire. There does seem to be some problem with Holmer parish which has been included within adjacent areas of Hereford city without making this clear. This seems certain to meet with justified resistance from residents of Holmer parish. Otherwise I support the thrust of proposals for warding within Hereford city, as well as those for Ledbury and Leominster, and am content with the proposals for Ross on Wye. I support the bulk of the Commission’s proposals in rural areas but have some suggestions below which better match community links. First some suggestions for change of name of proposed rural wards LGBCE Nov 2012 comment preferred name Burghill long straggly ward from outskirts of Queenswood Leominster to Hereford Bishops Frome potential confusion with other communities Cradley within Frome valley which aren’t is this ward – prefer name of main parish in the ward Walford prefer current name which implies links Kerne Bridge across River Wye Ashperton Frome valley Clehonger name Madley as more central parish Madley & Clehonger Kimbolton Kimbolton & Brimfield Colwall The Commission has suggested that Mathon be added to Colwall but Colwall ward is already large enough and Mathon has stronger ties with Cradley so inclusion with Bishop’s Frome, renamed Cradley , would produce slightly more balanced electorates.

Humanities with Religious Studies (Open) A dissertation submitted to The Open University for the degree of MA in History January 2019 WORD COUNT: 15,533 Hilary Anne Davis Dissertation ABSTRACT This study focusses on the Mormon mission to Britain in the nineteenth century, specifically the time spent in Herefordshire and on the borders of Worcestershire and Gloucestershire in 1840 to 1841. This mission was remarkable because of the speed with which an estimated 1800 rural folk were ready to be baptised into a new form of Christianity and because of the subsequent emigration of many of them to America. This investigation examines the religious, social and economic context in which conversion and emigration were particularly attractive to people in this area.
