    AN INDEX to M. Janet Becker, Blythburgh. An Essay on the Village and the Church. (Halesworth, 1935) Alan Mackley Blythburgh 2020 AN INDEX to M. Janet Becker, Blythburgh. An Essay on the Village and the Church. (Halesworth, 1935) INTRODUCTION Margaret Janet Becker (1904-1953) was the daughter of Harry Becker, painter of the farming community and resident in the Blythburgh area from 1915 to his death in 1928, and his artist wife Georgina who taught drawing at St Felix school, Southwold, from 1916 to 1923. Janet appears to have attended St Felix school for a while and was also taught in London, thanks to a generous godmother. A note-book she started at the age of 19 records her then as a London University student. It was in London, during a visit to Southwark Cathedral, that the sight of a recently- cleaned monument inspired a life-long interest in the subject. Through a friend’s introduction she was able to train under Professor Ernest Tristram of the Royal College of Art, a pioneer in the conservation of medieval wall paintings. Janet developed a career as cleaner and renovator of church monuments which took her widely across England and Scotland. She claimed to have washed the faces of many kings, aristocrats and gentlemen. After her father’s death Janet lived with her mother at The Old Vicarage, Wangford. Janet became a respected Suffolk historian. Her wide historical and conservation interests are demonstrated by membership of the St Edmundsbury and Ipswich Diocesan Advisory Committee on the Care of Churches, and she was a Council member of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History.

Ranging in age from 6 - 17, the Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers built a rope-and-wood 'monkey bridge', made ropes, bows and arrows, set light to sausages over a camp fire, and - still fire-related - learned pyrography (burning letters in wood with nails!).

Online at www.wenhastonword.co.uk/ where each issue is displayed in its entirety at no extra charge to advertisers. Merton Wood, Blackheath, Wenhaston Following a suggestion made by the Wenhaston Commons Group, we can confirm that the responsibility for the management of Merton Wood has recently been transferred to Suffolk Wildlife Trust from the Woodland Trust, on a long lease. Wenhaston Commons Group intend to work closely with Suffolk Wildlife Trust in producing a plan to restructure the wood and improve its value to the community, and will assist where we can with any necessary works. Jonathan Alder Merton Wood, located on the corner of Blackheath Road and Hall Road, beautifully depicted on the Wenhaston Millennium Map. © Wenhaston Commons Group, reproduced with permission Merton Wood ~ Those with offspring now aged in their mid-twenties will recall that one sunny day in the early 1990s their schoolchildren progressed from the village school and down Star Hill to Merton Wood, where each child planted a tree. The stake by their tree had the child’s name written on it and these stayed legible for several months. Regrettably there are no photographs recording this event in the Wenhaston Archive - perhaps you have some? The Woodland Trust had acquired the land not long before this event - I understand that the wood was named after the previous landowner’s favourite pony. Eileen Heaps Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all Wenhaston Word readers, advertisers, contributors and distributors.
