    Parish Magazine Ashprington Cornworthy Dittisham May 2021 Away with the Fairies in 1917. My three year old granddaughter Lily loves fairy stories and so, apparently, did Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes. He totally believed in the Cottingley Fairies. In 1917 two talented cousins, Elsie Wright (16) and Frances Griffiths (9), borrowed their father's camera and went down through the bottom of the garden to Cottingley Beck, a stream near Bradford in Yorkshire. There Elsie took five photographs, beautifully composed, showing her cousin Frances watching with a rapt expression a group of fairy folk dancing in front of her. Other photographs showed fairies flying around and a gnome on the grass. The whole process took about half an hour. Such was the skill of the girls' composition that Elsie's mother believed that the little figures really were fairies. Her father, who developed the images, did not believe they were real and considered that the girls had used cardboard cut outs of fairies in the photographs. He refused to lend them his camera again. Elsie's mother Polly was a Theosophist. She went to a meeting in Bradford which happened to be about fairies. She told the president of the Harrogate Theosophists, Edward Gardner, about the photographs and he examined them. Having pronounced them genuine he later contacted Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, a well known Spiritualist, who was writing a piece on fairies for the 1920 Christmas edition of the Strand Magazine. Doyle was totally convinced that the images were real and asked permission to use them in his article.

  • TOTNES MISSION COMMUNITY the Benefice of Totnes With
    TOTNES MISSION COMMUNITY Appointment of Team Rector January 2020 AN INTRODUCTION TO he Benefice of Totnes with T Bridgetown, Ashprington, Berry Pomeroy Brooking, Cornworthy Dartington, Marldon and Stoke Gabriel. A note from the Archdeacon Every place is special in its own way, but the ancient market town of Totnes and the beautiful South Hams of Devon in which it is set are exceptional. Both the town itself, with its distinguished history and considerable present interest, and the rural communities surrounding it offer an unusually rich and varied cultural life, from the firmly traditional to the decidedly unconventional. Totnes has long been a centre for those seeking forms of spirituality and lifestyle alternative to the mainstream, at the same time retaining all the inherited elements of a fine old West Country market town. With Dartington Hall, Schumacher College, the Sharpham Estate, and other local organisations operating in the area of the benefice, the range of cultural and educational opportunities on offer locally is high, drawing people to Totnes from across the country and beyond. The villages are home to a mix of incomers and those with local roots. There are areas of great wealth within the benefice, and also areas of severe poverty and social deprivation. In all this, the churches of the benefice demonstrate a clear and increasing engagement with their vocation to grow in prayer, make disciples, and serve the people of their communities with joy. The person called to be the next Team Rector will need to demonstrate the capacity to exercise strong, clear, loving leadership in mission and service, working with a gifted and motivated team of colleagues to develop and implement the impressive action plan to which the churches are committed.

Contrary to assertions in the JLP, SHLAA data is not taken into account in calculating the indicative level of housing for Sustainable Villages. The JLP’s treatment of housing completions and commitments in the first two years of the plan period is both inconsistent and confusing and therefore compromises the validity of this consultation. The strategy of allocating indicative levels of housing to the Sustainable Villages is flawed in both concept and application and will fail to deliver the housing targets set by the JLP. 1 1. The figures for housing supply in Sustainable Villages are, in at least one case, unsound. Inaccuracies in their calculation should be removed and the presentation of the figures in the JLP corrected. a. The calculation of the potential supply from Rattery in the Housing Topic Paper (Provision and Supply) March 2017 is inaccurate.
