Fayre Preparation Chilmark’s Social Stitchers have been hard at work in preparation for the forthcoming 400th anniversary Chilmark Fayre. At a Craft Day in the Reading Room, the Stitchers put finishing touches to a range of delightful items specially produced to sell at the Fayre on Saturday 20 July. Stitcher Lisbether Diaper explained that the Craft Stall will be selling items that could have been made in 1619: ‘It started with Felicity asking me to make Lavender Bottles/ Wands as I did for Chilfest in 2010; I agreed to and also to see if I could find out how to make Corn Dollies. Emily Wilkins and Nora Roberts and I had a morning when we tried these out. I then ran a workshop for Social Stitchers to make Corn Dollies and help with making Hessian decorated Lavender Bags and Cotton Lavender Bags. I also asked Paul Burt if he would be kind enough to make a wooden toy and we came up with the idea of a horse! The only toys they would have had at that time would be carved wooden animals or dolls. We sanded the edges of the horses and tied labels round their necks with raffia. Thank you to all Social Stitchers who came on the day.’

The items that will be on sale include: Wooden Horses with label Chilmark Fayre 1619 - 2019 Hessian Lavender bags Cotton Lavender bags Corn Dollies Lavender Bottles and Wands - still to be made if the lavender is out in time.

We also plan to run a small workshop on the day of the Fayre for visitors to: make your own corn dollies or lavender wands/bottles. Lisbeth Diaper

Easter Basket Workshop Thank you so much to everyone who came and supported the event. We produced an Easter tree, 4 spring wreaths, 2 table decorations and 8 Easter baskets. A good evening was had by all and despite numbers dropping from 19 to 12 on the night we raised £148.50, after expenses. Two kind donations brought the total to £168.50.

Our fellow wreath maker Viv Worrall and her partner John Curtis are taking part in this year’s LMAX Exchange Everest Rugby Challenge as this goes to print. They aim to raise £20,000 for The Wooden Spoon Charity of Rugby. Our evening has now brought them over the £17,000 mark! Thank you too to all my helpers; I couldn’t do it without you. Looking forward to seeing you all at the Christmas Wreath Workshop in December. Many thanks again, Chrissie Eden.

Neighbourhood Watch updates I have been the Neighbourhood Watch Coordinator for some years now and think it’s time I updated my contacts list. If you are interested in receiving messages about local crimes, and warnings from the police, please email me and I will put you on my list.

People have left the village and/or changed their emails and new people have moved in. So even if you are already on my contact list, would you please email to let me know that you still want to receive messages. mboyles@live. co.uk Many thanks, Mary Boyles 5 The Village Voice

Chilmark Cricket Club duly delivered, by skipper Fowles, who brought on King for a bowl. Three balls later Moss had taken a catch at The 2019 CCC season got underway mid-on with very un-Chilmarkian panache and the visitors on Sunday 14 April in typically wintery were back in the game. From then on the wickets fell with conditions at Horningsham. Polar bears, satisfying regularity. penguins, drunk elves and the northern lights were all spotted around the ground, which was actually in decent With the game swinging Chilmark’s way there was time shape for a change. for a little fun as Chilmark’s all-time leading wicket taker Darren Lee was given the ball. Lee eschews practice Chilmark captain Ben Fowles won the toss and elected and hadn’t touched a cricket ball since the final game of to bat. Australian import Brand King faced the first ball of last season. Consequently there were a few side bets on the season, buried somewhere beneath six (6) layers of whether Lee would be able to get through an over without clothing. As if the conditions weren’t enough of a hindrance, bowling at least one wide. Motivated more by wagers than he was then forced to evade a head high thunderbolt from wickets these days, Lee rose to the occasion and kept a lanky teenager who seemed unfamiliar with the terms every ball on the green stuff. ‘pre-season’ and ‘friendly’. At the other end Max Allen made an energetic start, swinging wildly at everything Another run out and a beamer from Ricky Corbin to without much success, before he finally got one away to Horningsham’s number eleven bat (and its only female the boundary. His eye finally in he then proceeded to get player) provided the entertainment in the closing stages, caught at mid-off without adding to his score. as Chilmark posted a comfortable (if chilly) victory to get the season off to a flying start. Jake Taylor was a last-minute addition to the match day squad but soon established himself as the centre piece, Chilmark CC 191-7 as he bashed his way through the gears. Meanwhile King, (J Taylor 88; J Stearman 36 not out) defeated Horningsham unused to cricket as a winter sport, finally missed a straight CC 174-9 (M Allen 3-23; R Corbin 2-29) one and took refuge in the boiler room.

It was poetic stuff but in the way of such things it also brought about his downfall.

There wasn’t much need for rehydrating drinks but with around 25 overs gone, refreshments were called for and warm teas passed around. Taylor, by now, had passed his half century and looked well on his way to a maiden Chilmark tonne. However, just 12 runs short of the milestone, his stellar innings finally came to an end when he swung at one too many and lost his stumps.

151 for five soon became the same score for six, when Ricky Corbin added another duck to his impressive collection. But this only paved the way for Jason Stearman to unleash his unorthodoxy on the opposition. The Wicketkeeper/batsman swatted his way to 36 off just 19 balls, including a hefty six over square leg from the lanky opening bowler. With Darren Lee chipping in with 14 and Ben Eastmond two, Chilmark completed their allotment with a very competitive 191 on the board.

After an excellent tea the players were back in the middle for more refrigerated torture. Max Allen opened the bowling, immediately setting about trying to utilise the bounce that his opposition counterpart employed. Unable to find the batsman’s head, he was at least successful in avoiding his bat, as nothing much happened in his opening spell.

Unfortunately this brought to the crease a batsman who’d clearly put in a bit of pre-season practice, and he, along with the remaining opening batsman, set about chasing down Chilmark’s total.

With Horningsham’s total edging past a hundred in the 20th over, a tactically brilliant bowling change was required, and 6 The Village Voice

Chilmark and Fonthill Bishop School

The River Barn at Fonthill Bishop hosted a Duck Race on Easter Monday which was enjoyed by our families. Funds raised are to be split between the Friends of the school and Fonthill Bishop Church.

At the end of last term we took part in a ‘Sing Up’ at the Nadder Centre, Tisbury, with other local schools from our ‘cluster’. Funding was received from Wiltshire Music Connect which made the event possible, paying for the orchestra, hall hire and transport. Vocal coach Mark Walker had visited all the schools in the preceding weeks to teach the children the songs and the moves. This all came together, following further morning rehearsals with the small orchestra, for a concert performed to families and friends in the afternoon. www.chilmarkfonthillbishop.wilts.sch.uk

Chilmark – 50 Years ago When we came to Chilmark in February 1966, it was an agricultural community: a few people worked at RAF Chilmark (the ‘Bomb Dump’) and elsewhere, but at least 25 people worked on the farms – three big dairy herds and a chicken farm.

We had to wait for more than a year to get a telephone installed – ‘Not enough lines in the exchange,’ they said. And then it was merely a party line for several years!

The Head Teacher, Jim Penny, lived in the School House (now absorbed into the school) with his wife and daughter. The other teacher, Miss Palmer, also lived in the village. The children all walked to school. After Fonthill Bishop village school was closed, the few children left were brought over to Chilmark daily, in a mini-bus.

There were two shops in the village: the Post Office (now the Old Post Office) and the Bridge Inn Stores (now Old Bridge Inn), both in The Street. Before Christmas, both shops got in a special stock of cards, presents, decorations and wrapping paper and displayed them in a room separate from the main shop. On Saturday mornings, the RAF Chilmark Fire Engine and crew would call at the Bridge Inn Stores (their canteen being closed) to buy their lunch – allegedly sausages! I used to wonder on what sort of fire they cooked them. The village was within a No Flying Zone because of the Bomb Dump.

Spiller & Wilkins, the big agricultural haulage firm, situated where Ridgeway is now, would waken the whole village at 5 o’clock in the morning when they started their engines. They had a maintenance shed next to The Black Dog where you could have your car serviced and buy petrol.

Everything changed in the Eighties. Agricultural practices were altered and many new houses were built. There are now twice as many houses here as there used to be 50 years ago. Newcomers mostly drove to work outside the village, some via the railway station in Tisbury.

Subsequently, the Cricket Club, Social Stitchers and other groups brought people together. With dark night skies and quiet nights, Chilmark is not a bad place to live! Anne McGrail

8 Focus Point The sea is his, for he made it, and the dry land, which his hands have formed. ‘How does your garden grow?’ If your garden is anything like mine, then probably things have got rather ‘behind’ (although I suspect that I say the same every year!).

Soon, however, the Church will be thinking specifically about how this year’s crops and herds are coming along: this is Rogationtide, when we visit fields and gardens to bless the growth we find there.

Rogation originated in the early Church as three fast days, being the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday before Ascension Day with the preceding Sunday, the sixth in Eastertide, being known as Rogation Sunday. Mamertus, Bishop of Vienne in what is now France, is said to have instituted processions, with prayers, on those days after earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and plagues had devastated his diocese in about AD 467. The occasion gets its name from the Latin rogare meaning ‘to intercede’ – to ask or beseech. The custom soon spread across the whole of Roman Gaul until it finally reached England in the early eighth century. Later (and perhaps this says a lot about the English psyche) it became a time for perambulations around the parish to bless fields, allotments, gardens and even the sea. The old English name for Rogation days is Gang Days from the Anglo-Saxon gangen meaning to ‘go’ or ‘walk’.

After the Reformation in the 16th century, Elizabethan clergy were allowed to continue to beat the bounds and to preach or offer prayers at certain points along the way. So Rogation also became a chance to emphasise established parish boundaries at a time when maps were scarce and the simplest way of remembering where the limits lay was to walk round them once a year. Rogation and boundary beating became intertwined because, as boundary marks such as stones, trees, or ponds were reached, the parson paused to give thanks for the fruits of the earth. Some fields that contained these landmarks continue to retain names like Gospel, Amen, and Paternoster. A Gospel Oak was a tree that acted as a boundary marker and under which the priest read from one of the gospels. This year Rogation Sunday is on 26 May, and at least two special Rogation events will take place in the Nadder Valley (please check the rota of church services for details). Graham Southgate

Ringing for Notre-Dame Following the devastating fire at the Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris, bell-ringers across the country were asked by the Archbishops of Canterbury & York to ring in solidarity on Thursday 18 April (Maundy Thursday). The bells at St Margaret’s Chilmark were rung to show support. We are grateful to two ringers from Tisbury who joined the Chilmark band to achieve this. Ringing was as follows: 10 minutes of Call Changes from 7pm: 1. Linda Jones (c) 2. Roderick Greening 3. David Kinnison 4. Clyde Whittaker Tenor Anthony Lovell-Wood (The 2nd bell was not rung due to insufficient ringers) To date almost a thousand churches and cathedrals in the UK are known to have rung in solidarity for Notre-Dame.
