This was a really enjoyable trip brilliantly organised by Chairman Andrew Hartley and his wife Anna. As usual on these Friends visits, approximately 15 minutes prior to arrival Andrew took the microphone and gave the party a detailed description of the design and building of the house and gardens which had been under the direction first of the playwright Sir John Vanburgh (he had never before designed a house) and later under supervision of the architect Nicholas The group then went on a tour of the house to Hawksmoor. He also gave an account of the view not only the public rooms but also the very lives of the more interesting members of the fine and tasteful Christmas decorations, with open Carlisle branch of the Howard family who had log fires in many of the rooms.

The Parish of Christchurch the Priory Church of the Holy Trinity, Christchurch St George, Jumpers St John at Purewell for Sunday 9 May, 2021
The Parish of Christchurch The Priory Church of the Holy Trinity, Christchurch St George, Jumpers St John at Purewell for Sunday 9 May, 2021 Dear Friends, Our journey through these eight weeks of Easter takes a new direction on Thursday 13th, when the Church celebrates Ascension Day. In addition to our customary morning services at the Priory (11.00) and St George’s (10.00), we shall mark this important festival by holding a Eucharist for Ascension Day at 7.00pm that evening in the Priory. The Ascension appears in the list of Jesus’ life events recorded in the Apostles' Creed – conception, birth, crucifixion, death, resurrection, ascension and, the only one yet to happen, when Jesus shall “come again to judge the living and the dead”. Ascension is the sign that Jesus has been vindicated as our Saviour and now reigns as Lord; that "at the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord" (Phil 2.10). Ascension is the confirmation that the salvation Jesus achieved on the cross and released through the resurrection means that humanity has been redeemed and is now taken up into heaven with Christ. Ascension is the sign that, in Christ, we have direct access to God our Father, to worship him in all we are and in all we do; for Christ has restored the fellowship of heaven and earth. * * * * * As every year since 2016, Thy Kingdom Come begins on Ascension Day and continues until Pentecost, on May 23rd. -

NEWSLETTER September 2019
President: Secretary: Treasurer: David Illingworth Nigel Webb Malcolm Thorning 01305 848685 01929 553375 01202 659053 NEWSLETTER September 2019 FROM THE HON. SECRETARY Since the last Newsletter we have held some memorable meetings of which the visit, although it was a long and tiring day, to Buckfast Abbey must rank among the best we have had. Our visit took place on Thursday 16th May 2019 when some sixteen members assembled in the afternoon sunshine outside the Abbey to receive a very warm welcome from David Davies, the Abbey Organist. He gave us an introduction to the acquisition and building of the organ before we entered the Abbey. The new organ in the Abbey was built by the Italian firm of Ruffatti in 2017 and opened in April 2018. It has an elaborate specification of some 81 stops spread over 4 manuals and pedals. It is, in effect, two organs with a large west-end division and a second extensive division in the Choir. There is a full account of this organ in the Organist’s Review for March 2018 and on the Abbey website. After the demonstration we were invited to play. Our numbers were such that it was possible for everyone to take the opportunity. David was on hand to assist with registration on this complex instrument as the console resembled the flight deck of an airliner. Members had been asked to prepare their pieces before-hand and this worked well with David commenting on the excellent choice of pieces members had chosen to suit the organ. We are most grateful to David Davies for making us so welcome and help throughout the afternoon. -

This book cannot be expected to please everybody, and it makes no attempt to conciliate those who prefer sentiment to truth, or who allow their reading of historical events to be distorted by present-day controversies, whether ecclesiastical or political. In that respect it tries to live up to the dictum of Samuel Butler that 'he excels most who hits the golden mean most exactly in the middle'. -

The Role of Early Medieval Saints in English Church Dedications Beyond the Conquest and the Reformation
Chapter 27 Leavings or Legacies? The Role of Early Medieval Saints in English Church Dedications beyond the Conquest and the Reformation Michael Hicks Every English church is dedicated to some aspect of the godhead or to a patron saint, often commemorated in the place names, such as St Albans in Hertford- shire, Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk, and St Osyth in Essex. Many of the earliest missionaries and those princesses who founded nunneries have been reviewed by Barbara Yorke in work which has done much to reveal the early medieval legacy of the landscape of Britain.1 The dedications of parish churches are among the most obvious elements of that legacy but they also reveal much of the perceptions of that legacy in the later Middle Ages. Although this paper focuses on Anglo-Saxon dedications before the Nor- man Conquest, the discussion also includes native British saints or Celtic dat- ing before the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons, some of later date, Anglo-Saxon saints who operated within England and abroad (e.g. St Boniface), universal and Roman saints venerated within England, and some others, notably the 11th- and 12th-century Vikings King Olaf Haraldsson and Earl Magnus. This pa- per considers these early contributions to the pool of dedications current in today’s churches and how and why the dedications have multiplied and then were curtailed in the millennium since the Norman Conquest. Thus St Petroc was the most popular native/British or Celtic saint in the West Country, to judge from his fourteen dedications in Cornwall and Devon; there
