Our Advent and Christmas Carol Services, once again ecumenical services held jointly with St Mary’s RC church, were well attended, with over 120 at the latter (right). The younger mem- bers of our congregation presented our traditional Nativity Play on Sunday 18 December (above). On Friday 9 December we hosted the Norland College (Norland nannies) Christmas Service, which was attended by an estimated 400 people. And this month... It’s 20 years this month since Mark Elliott became our Director of Music (he took office on 1 January 1997). Quite a bit has changed over those 20 years but one thing that is the same is Mark’s dedication and the resulting high standard of music. Thank you, Mark (and family!), for all you have done and continue to do at Christ Church!

  • Tablet August 2015
    THREE PARISHES NEWSLETTER AUGUST 2015 The Benefice Letter Dear Friends British values are under threat! They are being challenged from two quarters: the growth of ISIS and the political direction of the European Union. When I was at school in the 1950s British values were relatively simple. We had recently been on the winning side in the Second World War and a new monstrous ‘other’ had emerged – the Soviet Union. We regularly sang Hearts of Oak, composed in 1760 in celebration of naval victories in the Seven Years War. ‘We’ll fight and we’ll conquer again and again!’ This year we celebrate the anniversaries of two more victories: Waterloo (19th June, 1815) and Agincourt (25th October, 1415). On September 12th, the Albert Hall will resound to the words of the famous patriotic songs: Rule Britannia! and Land of Hope and Glory (‘Wider still and wider shall thy bounds be set!’) Are we unique in defining our national identity in terms of military victories? I don’t think so. The words of the French La Marseillaise are much more bloodthirsty than our National Anthem. In the United States, the current crop of potential candidates (twelve as I write) for the Republican nomination for the Presidential election of 2016 are engaged in a competition to prove how ‘American’ they are by advocating new military interventions. The most recent entry, Donald Trump, has extended the targets beyond the usual Middle Eastern states by promising to ‘defeat’ China and to build a wall along the border between the USA and Mexico (and to make the Mexicans pay for it).

  • Descent of St. Maur and Seymour Families
    -390- ST MAUR AND SEYMOUR DESCENT OF ST.MAUR FAMILY OF CO.MONMOUTH AND SEYMOUR FAMILY OF HATCH, CO.SOMERSET by Paul C. Reed1 ABSTRACT This Seymour family became renowned in the person of Jane Seymour, who died twelve days after the birth of Edward, the only legitimate son of Henry VIII to survive infancy. It is not surprising that the origins of this family came under the focus of the earliest English historians and genealogists, including Camden, Dugdale and Vincent. Brydges and others later attempted fuller accounts in their works on the peerage, but the paucity of surviving records has allowed errant conclusions and fictions to persist in the most widely available modern accounts. The purpose of this article is to present a fresh analysis of what survives and bring the subject up to current standards of scholarship. Foundations (2008) 2 (6): 390-442 © Copyright FMG and the author As is the case with so many medieval English families, our knowledge of the earliest generations of the Seymours in the century and a half after Domesday is vague and uncertain. The earliest definitely traceable ancestor appears in record because of his acquisition of land—he burst onto the scene through conquest. In a period when preserving the king’s peace would normally have forbad dispossessing anyone of a manor (whether they had been in legitimate possession or not), at this specific time it furthered the interests of the crown to have Englishmen displace the native Welsh. Even after the family acquired heritable land, the descent of the male line through the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries is not entirely certain because of the scant survival of documents concerning manors and lands in the Marches of Wales.

  • Liturgical Plan
    February 2019 ELY CATHEDRAL LITURGICAL PLAN Joyfully proclaiming the love of God in worship, outreach, welcome and care Foreword from the Introduction to the Cathedral’s Strategy by the Dean There is a lot of research being undertaken around Cathedrals and their work. The most recent, Spiritual Capital (Theos and Grubb Institute 2012) speaks of Cathedrals not only being admired for their architectural, historical and aesthetic appeal but also for having a significant impact on, and significance for, English life. This research concludes that cathedrals are uniquely placed to reach beyond boundaries, to communicate a sense of the sacred and to enable and sustain a range of connections, connections that extend wide into the local and regional communities and across the Diocese. The report points out that Cathedrals are recognised and valued as Christian institutions and this in a culture that can be very wary of overt faith claims. The generosity, grace, hospitality and holiness that Cathedrals show in living out the message of Jesus Christ is widely respected and appreciated. In being welcoming and hospitable we should have no fear in being calmly confident about our vision and core purpose. Chapter has a vision of Ely Cathedral as an outward looking community, engaging and responding to the challenges of the world around; bringing people to faith and making new disciples; and doing so through inspiring and transformative worship, engaging and challenging preaching, and a warm welcome and generous hospitality. Mark Bonney 1 February 2019 LITURGICAL PLAN 1. This liturgical plan seeks to record and explain current Cathedral liturgical practice and the theological understanding behind it.

  • Bishop Andrew Leads on Church Buildings
    Bishop Andrew leads on church buildings Bishop Andrew has been appointed as lead bishop for church and cathedral buildings. He shares the role with the Bishop of Bristol, the Rt Revd Viv Faull. The Archbishops of Canterbury and York announced the appointment of the two new lead bishops today [13th July]. Bishop Andrew, who is also a published author whose writing centres on themes of local and national identity, said: “I am honoured to share this new role with the Bishop of Bristol. “Our church buildings are a priceless legacy, close to the nation’s soul. I look forward to championing their vital place in public worship and community renewal, and to working with church, government and heritage bodies to assure their future.” The Church of England has around 16,000 church buildings and 42 cathedrals, of which more than 12,500 are listed. The lead Bishops support those who care for these buildings by speaking on relevant national issues and engaging in dialogue with the UK government and partner organisations. The Bishops jointly take over the role from the Bishop of Worcester, John Inge. The Archbishop of York, Stephen Cottrell said: “We are delighted that Bishop Viv and Bishop Andrew have accepted this invitation. Their combined experience will be a blessing to those who care for and uphold our places of worship as beacons of faith in our communities, and in their important civic, heritage and educational roles. “We also wish to take the opportunity to thank Bishop John Inge for all he has contributed to this role.” Bishop Viv was Dean of York prior to her appointment as Bishop of Bristol and is a member of the House of Lords.

  • DESCENDANTS of BARTHOLOMEW JACOBY by HELENE
    DESCENDANTS OF BARTHOLOMEW JACOBY By HELENE. (JACOBY) EVARD 1955 MITCHELL-FLEMING PRINTING, INC. Greenfield, Ind. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The work which has gone into this book was begun years ago and has been built up by many people. As early as 1913 Professor Henry S. Jacoby, then collecting data for his "Jacoby Genealogy," infected Arthur E. Jacoby of Chicago with his genealogical enthusiasm. Pro­ fessor Jacoby sent Arthur a quantity of the blanks which he was using for gathering information from his own relatives; and from then until 1926 Arthur worked at getting our family statistics from all the groups who moved to Indiana, from those who later went west, and even from some of the Ohio relatives. My father, Elias J. Jacoby, and I caught this infection, also from Henry S. Jacoby, about 1918. We continued collecting the records of Ohio relatives, considerably helped by my father's brother, John, and his sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Aye. We also visited the southern branch in 1921, and later called upon the Pennsyl­ vania cousins, Father Francis Siegfried and Dave Heimbaugh and his nephew Lincoln. However in those years we concentrated more upon ancestral research, and sought local records in Reading, the Pine Grove region and eastern Maryland. We called in the professional help of Mrs. Steinmetz of Reading, Mr. Warren S. Ely of Doylestown, Miss Mollie Howard Ash of Elkton, and various others. But I was presently reduced to inaction by a severe illness and a slow recovery. It had been planned that I should write up our group, to be published in Henry S.
