Broadcast February 2021 Update from Archdeacon Nikki

At the beginning of a new year already full of challenge I wish to assure you of my support and prayers. As you will know, the Reverend Canon Sue Oliver has been off sick for some time suffering with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and some other health issues. This will be reviewed at the end of January, but I anticipate it may be a while before she is well enough to fully resume her duties in the parishes. As soon as the

situation is clearer, I will update the Church Wardens about how we expect things to be between now and Sue’s retirement at the end of May, and how you will be supported. In the meantime, please continue to hold Sue in your prayers. I am conscious that you have been without Sue’s ministry and oversight during a season of change in the wider diocese, and huge uncertainty in the wider world. The ongoing impact of the Covid 19 pandemic is hard for us all, both practically, in risk assessing our church buildings and keeping abreast of constantly changing guidelines for safe worship, and emotionally, as we see loved ones and people in the community succumbing to this horrible virus. May I express my gratitude for all who have worked hard to keep the life of the churches going through recent months. As part of our diocesan transformation programme, a Bishop’s Pastoral Order has been issued changing our deanery structure from February. More feedback was received from the Holy Cross South benefice than anywhere else! We adjusted the proposals accordingly, and the benefice is now in the Redditch and Deanery. We will soon begin consultation on schemes to separate the parishes following this feedback, which suggested Blakedown, Churchill and Broome join with a Kidderminster team and therefore move into the Kidderminster and Stourport Deanery in due course; Belbroughton and Fairfield explore joining with a Bromsgrove team, and becomes a joint benefice with Hagley (this latter consultation is already underway). This will take some months, but upon Sue’s retirement I would anticipate the respective parishes would be building appropriate relationships in these various contexts. For the time being, you are still joined as a benefice as these structural changes take time to facilitate. We have asked a very experienced priest, the Reverend Canon Wyn Beynon, who is taking early retirement to move with his wife as she takes up a curacy in the Greater Deanery, to act as an Interim Minister (non-stipendiary part-time) for the period from Sue’s retirement until the schemes come into effect. This means you will not be navigating another vacancy, so soon after your last one. Wyn has helped his current benefice through similar restructuring, has been Rural Dean and Chair of the Diocesan House of Clergy and is a wise and gentle priest who I am sure will be a safe pair of hands to help the benefice navigate these changes. He will work collaboratively with wardens and PCCs, Licensed Lay Ministers and those retired and neighbouring clergy who provide cover to ensure ministry and mission continues through the coming months, within the constraints of various degrees of lockdown, and until we are clearer about the longer-term plans for the parishes. I am always willing to be contacted with any questions, and will be holding you all in my prayers over the coming months. Nikki Groarke, Archdeacon of Dudley

Broadcast February 2021 Letter from Pauline Jones

February already! Although I am, of course, writing this at the beginning of January, just after the end of the Christmas period. February contains one of the main signposts in the Christian calendar – the start of Lent. Ash Wednesday, this year, is on the 17th February. Lent is a time for Christians to prepare for the celebration of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ at Easter. Many people

“give things up” for Lent even if they are not practicing Christians. It may feel to some that the pandemic and its associated lockdown has already taken much away from us already. But Lent is not really a time to nudge us into giving up the fattening sweets or the unhealthy cigarettes. Its purpose is to help believers come to terms with the more difficult aspects of their faith, and to disentangle themselves from worldly vices or distractions that turn them away from God. Christians are supposed to fast, not to “purify” themselves or break themselves of “bad habits,” but to focus on God and, specifically, on Jesus Christ’s sacrifice. So, just a thought - instead of less, maybe Lent 2021 is a time for more. More prayer, more reading of the Bible and serious Christian books and more focussing on God rather than ourselves. I don’t think that will be too harsh in this hard time. Jesus answered “It is written: ‘Man does not live on bread alone’” Luke 4.4 God Bless Pauline

Be still, my soul: the hour is hast'ning on When we shall be forever with the Lord, When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone, Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored. Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past, All safe and blessed we shall meet at last. (Katharina von Schlegel, translation, Jane Borthwick)

MAGAZINES – ALL VILLAGES If you are a paid up subscriber and you are unable to receive this magazine over the next few months because of your distributor shielding, or you prefer to receive a ‘virtual’ copy, please contact the Editor at [email protected] and you can receive a copy via email, in the form of a PDF to read. As you can imagine, some of the distributors may be unable to deliver during Lockdown, so this would also mean you can continue to receive your copies.

Broadcast February 2021 A letter from Bishop John

It might feel as though we have been in the season of Lent for a very long time. Because of the pandemic, we weren’t able to celebrate Easter properly last year and the remainder of the year had a distinctly penitential feel to it, as has the first part of 2021.

There has been so much sadness, grief and loss during these past few months and we shall be living with the consequences of COVID- 19 for years to come. My hope and my prayer, though, is that not all of those consequences will be bad. Lent is the time for us to turn our faces towards Jerusalem and prepare to follow our Lord on the way of the cross. We do that knowing that out of crucifixion, God brought resurrection. That is the Christian pattern of things – God’s redemption involves bringing good out of bad, joy out of pain, new life out of death. After the resurrection Peter wanted to go back to fishing. It was what was familiar to him and he felt he could find comfort in that. But God was calling him to something much more exciting. It would be a sadness for us to try to go back to the way things were before the pandemic, just as it would have been for Peter simply to resume his life as a fisherman. Like Peter, I believe God is calling us to something much more exciting. This year, at the end of what feels like a very long Lent, it would be good for us to reflect upon and pray about what the ‘new normal’ might look like. I hope it will involve more care, more community, more goodness and more Godliness – but God will work things out much more wonderfully than I could ever plan. The Church of 's latest advice can be found at www.churchofengland.org/coronavirus where the FAQs are regularly updated.

Blakedown Flower Guild

On behalf of the Blakedown Flower Guild, may I say a very big Thank You to our Post Mistress Jo, and the ladies and gentlemen who use the Post Office Library. Jo handed to me the sum of £345 for flowers. Sadly, we are unable to decorate the church – but the Altar will be dressed in Red and Green. Later this year, when all is back to normal, we shall decorate the church, as a Thank You, and all the monies left over will go to Blakedown Church.

Yours, Doreen Chatwin

Broadcast February 2021 NEWS

Update on Happenings at Blakedown Church Covid-19 has affected us all in so many ways and we have been very aware of the number of villagers finding life very difficult through most of 2020 and now into 2021. We have tried to be in touch with as many people as possible with phone calls and offers of help and also with the delivery of a “thinking of you” care bag treat. Although we have tried our hardest, I am sure there are other people who would appreciate this kind of contact, so please do let us know who you are and if you would like us to get in touch with you from time to time. You can call Mary Macdiarmid

700776 or Jan Johns 700543. We were not able to have the church open at times due to the lockdowns, but managed to hold Sunday services during December with thanks to visiting clergy, our readers and the two ALMs and it was good to have a communion service on Christmas morning. It is with regret that we have had to make the decision to suspend services in the church for the month of January and we will be reviewing the situation later in the month as the rapid increase in Covid cases is a concern. We are able to have online services on the church website so do join us on those if you can, details of ways to connect are shown in the middle section of this magazine. We were very pleased that through a legacy we received from the estate of Felicity Willows we were able to purchase lights for the tree in the churchyard. Felicity was a much loved member of our church, she was one of our Readers, a member of the PCC and instigated the “Open the Book” programme which saw members of the congregation acting out bible stories in Blakedown School assemblies. We also must say a great thank you to Aly Lench, who volunteered his time and equipment to install the tree lights. How wonderful to see our friends and neighbours supporting our village church! Hopefully the tree is a beacon of light in the village at such a dark and difficult time and will be there for many Christmases to come.

God bless you all, Andrew Yardley and Mary Macdiarmid Blakedown Churchwardens

Thank you Thank you to the 30 plus households that took part in the 'Living Advent Calendar' during December last - we had many creative windows/decorations that brightened up our parish. Particular thanks to Jody at Crumbs, where the knitted Nativity Set was hosted for the whole month. We hope it may become a regular feature of our pre Christmas celebrations if villagers are willing to take part? Thank you also to the people that have supported The churches in many ways during the last year. We are grateful for the support from our regular congregations ,and particularly for other donations received towards our running costs, these have enabled our churches to continue to serve our communities. While not able to hold fundraising events we are very thankful for a donation of £2000 from the Norman Dawson Trust received in December. Please keep safe and follow the rules until we've all been vaccinated against this awful virus, and life returns to some sort of normality! Jan.

From the PARISH REGISTERS:

GIVING TO THE CHURCHES There are a number of ways that donations can be made towards the work of the three churches in our parish.

Free will offering envelopes: You can continue to donate to both Churchill and Blakedown churches using your Free Will Offering envelopes - please post them through the letterbox of number 69 Belbroughton Road while you're out for your daily exercise. If you would like to have a set of Free Will Offering envelopes then please call (01562) 700543.

By gifting online through give.net which is part of 'Stewardship' - a Christian Charity. give.net is easy to use.... Eg, go into www.give.net and click onto ‘Find a Charity’ Type “Blakedown and Churchill Churches, wait a moment for the church to pop up and then follow the simple instructions. NB it is quite common for this not to work first time, in which case please re-type and all should be revealed! For UK taxpayers, there is gift aid box to tick and Stewardship remits the tax reclaim to the church, thus easing the burden on the Acting Treasurer. The only income that your churches receive is from the generous gifts made by members of the congregations and communities. From these gifts the general running costs of the church buildings have to be met (there are always repairs needed to these beautiful old buildings) and the stipend of your Priest, the Rectory running costs and all church mission and outreach costs. So, ALL contributions are very, very gratefully received.

Church of England latest guidance update:

The Government has asked us to stay at home to save lives and protect the NHS. Under the current regulations the Government has permitted public worship to continue, if it is safe to do so.

While many churches have decided to offer digital services only for the time being, others are continuing to remain open, in a Covid-secure way, for individual prayer and public worship. The circumstances in each place will inform a local decision.

We urge everyone to be exceptionally cautious and, in particular, to do everything possible to prevent mingling outside of households and support bubbles.

We acknowledge and share the sadness many are feeling at not being able to meet together as we would usually do at the moment and prayerfully and confidently look forward to better times ahead.

Churches can remain open for individual prayer, subject to safety guidelines.

Wearing of face coverings by all those attending a place of worship, including ministers and worshippers, where there may be other people present is mandatory. There are exemptions to this, including for those leading a service, detailed in guidance on face coverings.

Please check the latest guidance at https://www.churchofengland.org/resources/coronavirus-covid-19-guidance-churches The guidance is changing frequently and should be adhered to. Broadcast February 2021

Broadcast February 2021 Police and Crime Commissioner - John Campion

As your Police and Crime Commissioner, my role is to ensure your priorities are acted on, your voice is heard and your community is kept safe. I work hard to engage with communities across Herefordshire, , Telford & Wrekin and Worcestershire to hear their views and priorities on how to maintain a safe West Mercia. As the directly elected governance for , I hold the Chief Constable to account for the service we receive on your behalf. Part of my role is to set the budget for West Mercia Police, currently standing at around £238m per year.

What would JESUS do A Valentine

By John Winterbourne For her this rhyme is penned, whose luminous Whenever there’s a problem eyes, And I don’t know what to do Brightly expressive as the twins of Leda, I stop right there Shall find her own sweet name, that nestling And ask myself What would JESUS do lies Upon the page, enwrapped from every reader. Whenever I am feeling low Search narrowly the lines! - they hold a And just a little blue treasure I stop right there Divine- a talisman- an amulet And ask That must be worn at heart. Search well the myself measure- What would JESUS do The words- the syllables! Do not forget The trivialest point, or you may lose your labor Whenever my mind goes wandering And yet there is in this no Gordian knot To where it shouldn’t do Which one might not undo without a sabre, I stop right there And ask myself If one could merely comprehend the plot. What would JESUS do Enwritten upon the leaf where now are peering Eyes scintillating soul, there lie perdus Whenever someone’s unkind to me Three eloquent words oft uttered in the hearing It gets me in a stew Of poets, by poets- as the name is a poet's, too, I stop right there And ask myself Its letters, although naturally lying What would JESUS do Like the knight Pinto- Mendez Ferdinando- Still form a synonym for Truth- Cease trying! Whenever days go by You will not read the riddle, though you do the And I don’t know what to do best you can do. I stop right there And ask myself Edgar Allan Poe What would JESUS do

Never Let Go of Hope Poet: Jancarl Campi You will look back One day and laugh at what has passed you will see and you will ask yourself, that it all "How did I get through all of that?" has finally come together. Just never let go of hope. What you have Just never quit dreaming. always wished for And never let love has finally come to be. depart from your life.

CHURCHILL AND BLAKEDOWN HISTORICAL SOCIETY https://candbhistorical.weebly.com

Our two villages – how did they evolve?

Many residents will have bought a copy of “A Pictorial History of Churchill and Blakedown”, published in 1997, still available from the Post Office. There are in fact three published village histories. Jim Long of the Historical Society has been looking at the first one, David Swabey’s 1976 “A History of Churchill and Blakedown”, based on the work of F W Young, a local historian and benefactor born in 1875

A History of Churchill and Blakedown The joint parish of Churchill and Blakedown lies in the Hundred of or Came in North Worcestershire between Kidderminster and . It is of average size, being about 2 miles by 3 miles, and about 9 miles around its boundaries. Its history is undistinguished from hundreds of similar parishes, it has produced no national figures and it does not have within its boundaries any stately home, yet its very anonymity makes it doubly interesting, for the ordinary people it has produced over the centuries and for the impact, however small, that national affairs have had on it. It only became a joint parish in 1888, when Blakedown, for centuries part of the parish of Hagley, was joined to the ancient parish of Churchill, thereby increasing its area by about one third. Another huge area, that to the west of a line from Four Dwellings along Stonewaggon Lane to the viaduct and then along New Wood Lane, and including Deansford, Park Hall and Wannerton, was added from two parishes of Kidderminster in 1902. Its neighbouring parishes are Hagley, Clent, Broome, , Stone, St. Mary's, Kidderminster, and . Churchill met Wolverley and Kinver at the Kinfare Stone at Five Ways or Catchem's End, where those in flight from justice in our parish could escape into the neighbouring county of . 17th Century Irrigation Scheme At the other end of the parish by the late seventeenth century a remarkable irrigation scheme had been put into operation. This was developed by Lord Foley and recorded on a map in 1737 and by Nash, the Worcestershire historian in 1782. The scheme watered eight farms, the Mearse, Bellington, Deansford, Dunclent, Heathy Mill, Hodgehill, Park Hall and Hurcott. The water came from the Bellington Brook from which was channelled a series of irrigation ditches, the first originating near Barnett Mill. Each farm had its ration of water repeated two days a week every three weeks throughout the year. For example over two hundred acres at Dunclent were watered in this way. Mr. Young could remember the scheme in full working order, and the water courses can be traced on an Ordnance Survey map as well as on the ground, but the water courses at Park Hall are now filled with daffodils and Deansford, the other farm of the eight within the parish, only has narrow ditches across its fields to show that the scheme once existed, though one, early in 1976, still carried a flow of water. Downstream from Deansford the 1737 Map marks a line of stones as the boundary

Broadcast February 2021 between Chaddesley Corbett and Kidderminster Foreign. This is now the parish boundary but the stones seem to have disappeared, perhaps into the stream. Enclosure of Common As the country's population grew rapidly in the eighteenth century, so more landowners wished to enclose this grazing land and turn it into arable. Churchill's common lands were enclosed by the passing of a Parliamentary Act in 1773. In 1832 it was Blakedown's turn. Parliamentary Commissioners visited the village in 1831 to hear the villagers' cases for and against enclosure of the common land, and in 1832 an Act was passed enclosing "the Blakedown and Harborough Commons". This was the land on either side of Belbroughton Road and stretching over to include Harborough Hill and much of the land adjoining Stakenbridge Lane. Only the Harborough valley around the Hall was not part of the commons but was farmed from the Hall. Where the packhorse way crossed Belbroughton Road, a gate, called Hack-man's Gate on the Enclosure Map, prevented animals from straying from the commons into Broome or Chaddesley Corbett parishes. (Later the name was given to the crossroads at Yielding Tree). When Malvern Commons had been enclosed there had been rioting and at other places the fences had been pulled up. By the time of the Blakedown enclosures the authorities had learnt their lesson and five acres of land opposite to Harborough Farm were given to the two villages of Stakenbridge and Blakedown in lieu of their common grazing rights. Other allotments of land were made to Sir Edward Dolman Smith, Thomas, Lord Foley, Richard Worrall and William Waldron among others. The land was soon fenced or enclosed with hedges to provide farming land for the two new farms, New House Farm and Harborough Farm which were set up on it. The Award also gives details of the roads and footpaths. The Birmingham to Blakedown Turnpike Road was to be forty feet wide, Stoney Lane, Stakenbridge Lane and Belbroughton Road were to be -thirty feet wide, whilst Forge Lane, the bridle path to Stakenbridge from the bottom of Harborough Hill and the bridle path from the main road past Broome Mill to the Belbroughton Road, were to be eighteen feet wide. The footpath to the Ladies Pool was to be ten feet wide and all other paths were to be four feet wide. Changing Face of Churchill and Blakedown The last 150 years have seen the greatest changes ever in the two villages. Blakedown has changed from being the 'black down' with a handful of houses on the road from Birmingham to Kidderminster into a village community of over 1,500. Churchill, on the other hand, has failed to expand, and has remained what it has always been, a rural backwater, it may even have lost population for as late as the 1920s when its school had over 50 pupils.

Broadcast February 2021 THE BIBLE GARDEN - Flowers

In our previous parts we have looked at planning a Bible garden, the seven essential Bible foods, trees and growing vegetables. This month we consider some of the plants that bring the beauty of God’s creation into our Bible garden – flowers. There are plenty to choose from that can be grown in our climate, and for example, here are some that I grow:

Anemone – or the ‘Lily of the field’ (Matthew 6:28-30) Daisy (James 1: 9-10) Doves Dung (2 Kings 6:25) Hyacinth (Revelation 9:17) Lavender (Song of Songs 4:14) Lily (Hosea 14:5) Mandrake (Song of Songs 7:13) Poppy (1 Peter: 24-25) Rose (Song of Songs 2:1) Tulip (Song of Songs 2:12) Water Lily (2 Chronicles 4:5)

Add to this list flowering shrubs and herbs such as Mallow, Broom, Hyssop and Rue, and you will be able to create a splendid display of flowers that blooms from early spring to autumn.

To keep your Bible garden authentic, it is worth trying to find varieties and colours that are usually found in the Middle East. As a general rule, I have found that white and red is often the best choice, for example, white rose, lily, daisy and broom, and red poppy and tulip. If you are puzzled by Dove’s Dung in the list above, this is subject to interpretation, as Bible plants often are. Some experts suggest it is a type of chickpea, some suggest it really is ‘dung’ probably from doves or pigeons and was used as food – usually when a city was under siege and the inhabitants were starving! The interpretation that I prefer is that Dove’s Dung is also the name of a beautiful small flowering plant known as the Star of Bethlehem. It has been suggested that the bulbous roots of this plant were sometimes eaten when food was in short supply. Personally, I think it is far better to grow them for the beautiful white star like flowers and leave the bulbous roots in the ground for another wonderful display the next year. If you are thinking about growing some Bible garden flowers, then now is an excellent time to do some research into their authenticity. Most of them will do well in pots. You will find lots of different views about the plant names, colours and species. I have found that you need to decide which of the experts you feel more comfortable with – and which will grow best in your garden. If it all gets too confusing you can always do as I do most years and fill in some empty ground with a packet of mixed wild meadow flowers to remind us of what Jesus said (Luke 12:27- 28) about flowers: Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labour or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendour was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith!

The Monday Evening meetings on Zoom continue to keep the Hagley Rotarians engaged and entertained as our evenings at the Lyttleton have been suspended during the Lock-Down. Preparing for Christmas the Rotarians were keeping up with matters local and international with donations to our supported charities now including food banks and homeless contributions from all quarters. December is when Rotarians are charged to consider Disease Treatment and Prevention. Our efforts in eradicating Polio have now been complimented with concerns and local support for the Covid19 Pangamic awareness and support. We have been reminded that there are many other diseases apart from Polio that need Rotary International involvement in treating the less fortunate 3rd world as well as local and national concerns in the winter season, such as pneumonia and tuberculosis in which Rotary is active in providing practical help, support, and assistance for those less equipped to deal with illness and outbreak. Fortunately, there is a Rotary Club and concern available to meet the challenges as they arise and be provided with advice and support.

FEBRUARY IN THE GARDEN

Spring is in sight

This month there are signs of the approaching spring, with bulbs appearing and wildlife waking up as light levels and temperatures increase. There's plenty to do indoors this month to prepare for the season ahead. Outdoors, as the garden comes to life again, it's time to prune shrubs and climbers, such as Wisteria as well as evergreen hedges.

1. Prepare vegetable seed beds, and sow some vegetables under cover 2. Chit potato tubers 3. Protect blossom on apricots, nectarines and peaches 4. Net fruit and vegetable crops to keep the birds off 5. Prune winter-flowering shrubs that have finished flowering 6. Divide bulbs such as snowdrops, and plant those ‘in the green’ 7. Prune Wisteria 8. Prune hardy evergreen hedges 9. Prune conservatory climbers such as bougainvillea 10. Cut back deciduous grasses left uncut over the winter, remove dead grass.
