The training will be delivered by Telford First Responders on Saturday 15th February 2020. There will be 2 drop-in sessions on the day - just turn up - no booking required. 9.30am - 12.30pm and 1.30pm - 3.00pm No previous experience of First Aid is necessary, and the training will be tailored to individuals or small groups and so, for example, if you have been previously trained and are only after a refresher we will do a shorter session with you. If you are coming with minimal or no previous knowledge of First Aid please allow ~30 mins to be trained and have a practice. The Telford First Responders are one of the charities that The Buildwas Players panto is raising funds for this year. Telford First Responders recently purchased a new 4 x 4 rapid response vehicle which needs funding to kit it out with the required equipment. February & March 2020 Page 5 MyShropshire MyShropshire is a new online account that gives you quick and easy access to a range of online services offered by Shropshire Council. This account is tied into Shropshire Council’s CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system, which allows you to keep track of all the things you've reported to them, and makes it easier for you to interact with an ever- increasing range of services - whenever or wherever you wish to use them. Shropshire Council is adding new functions and content to this regularly to make MyShropshire even better, so check back and let me know what you think! What can I do on MyShropshire? Currently, you can access the following services: Make a comment, compliment or complaint • Report a pothole • Report a streetlight or illuminated sign issue • Report a spillage • Report an issue with a barrier or bollard • Report an issue with a manhole cover or drainage grid • Report an issue with road markings • Report an issue with a sign • Report an issue with kerbs or studs (cats eyes) • Report flooding • Report an issue with traffic lights • Report an issue with an electronic sign • Report an issue with a bridge, cattle grid or retaining wall • Salting and snow clearance. As time goes by more services will be added. Why have an online account? The MyShropshire account will give you access to a wide range of services at any time of the day. This gives you the freedom to report, request or pay for something when you have free time, rather than having to find the time to ring or visit the Council during normal working hours. It’s important to note that an online transaction also costs much less than a phone call or visit in person, with costs in the pence rather than pounds. The money saved can then be used for the services the Council offers, such as adult social care or Children’s Services. Every time you use MyShropshire you are helping the Council continue to provide quality services for the residents of Shropshire.

Nellie sadly passed away in November 2019. Our condolences to her family. Your family have been involved with Buildwas Church for five generations: can you tell us in what ways they were involved? In 1937, at sixteen years of age, I was offered a job of looking after two small boys at Buildwas Vicarage. I received five shillings a week. You must have lots of memories of the church in general and its affiliation with the Women’s Institute (W.I.) - are there any services or events that stand out to you? My earliest memories of Buildwas Church are taking Communion at 8 o’clock in the morning with just the vicar and verger for company. It was the Reverend Arthur Davies; the verger was Mr Massey. There was then an eleven o’ clock service, where there was only one person in each pew. This could have been because each family had its own pew to sit in. The final service of the day was at 6.30, where the church had its own choir. That was where I met Ernie Heath, as he was in the choir. At that time, no one had a car, so all had to walk to church, even the vicar, although at one stage, a local farmer lent the vicar a horse to get around the village. Did the church and W.I. fundraise together? I joined the Mothers’ Union in 1948, when my son John was born. The Mothers’ Union did a lot to raise funds for the church, by holding cake stalls, rummage sales, etc. The Mothers’ Union flag is actually held in the church and was made by Mrs. Ralphs of Saplins Lane and Mrs. Newell of Abbey Grange. I joined the W.I. when it first started (date unknown), and the W.I. helped the Mothers’ Union to again raise funds for the church by doing pantomimes, dances, garden fetes and flower festivals in the church. These events all helped to bring the village together. August 1987 Flower Festival. The theme was ‘All Things Bright and Beautiful’ Three of the pictures below are of the flowers in the porch of the church Page 8 Under the Wrekin magazine And did you have any administrative or leadership roles within the group? My role in the W.I. was just a member, but I was always at the fore to help out. Priscilla Ellen Heath (Nellie), was born at Eaton Constantine on 7th September 1920 but she spent most of her life at Buildwas. She was an active member of the Church, Village Hall, Mothers Union, and Womens Institute.

  • The Implementation and Impact of the Reformation in Shropshire, 1545-1575
    The Implementation and Impact of the Reformation in Shropshire, 1545-1575 Elizabeth Murray A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts United Faculty of Theology The Melbourne College of Divinity October, 2007 Abstract Most English Reformation studies have been about the far north or the wealthier south-east. The poorer areas of the midlands and west have been largely passed over as less well-documented and thus less interesting. This thesis studying the north of the county of Shropshire demonstrates that the generally accepted model of the change from Roman Catholic to English Reformed worship does not adequately describe the experience of parishioners in that county. Acknowledgements I am grateful to Dr Craig D’Alton for his constant support and guidance as my supervisor. Thanks to Dr Dolly Mackinnon for introducing me to historical soundscapes with enthusiasm. Thanks also to the members of the Medieval Early Modern History Cohort for acting as a sounding board for ideas and for their assistance in transcribing the manuscripts in palaeography workshops. I wish to acknowledge the valuable assistance of various Shropshire and Staffordshire clergy, the staff of the Lichfield Heritage Centre and Lichfield Cathedral for permission to photograph churches and church plate. Thanks also to the Victoria & Albert Museum for access to their textiles collection. The staff at the Shropshire Archives, Shrewsbury were very helpful, as were the staff of the State Library of Victoria who retrieved all the volumes of the Transactions of the Shropshire Archaeological Society. I very much appreciate the ongoing support and love of my family.

  • Shropshire's Churchyard Yews
    ’CHURCHYARD YEWS painted by Rev. Edward Williams M.A. more than two hundred years ago photographs by Tim Hills between 1997 and 2012 Between 1786 and 1791 Rev. Edward Williams made a record of most of ’parish churches. He was described in The Gentlem’ magazine vol 153 as “ excellent ” who had also “much of ” We are told in The annals and magazine of natural history, zoology and botany - vol 1 p183 that his studies included “ catalogue of all the plants which he had detected during many years' careful herborization of the county of ”for which “accuracy is well known, and perfect reli- ance can be placed on any plant which he ” Williams work thus gives us a rare opportunity to see some of Shropshir’churchyard yew trees as they appeared two hundred and twenty years ago. The examples below give us reason to be confident in the accuracy of his recording. The yew at Boningale (left) now has a girth of about 13ft, while that at Bucknell (centre) now has a girth of about 19ft, and the Norbury giant (right) has a girth above 33ft. His attention to detail is illustrated in this example at Tasley. In the painting we can clearly see that sections of the bole are leaning outwards, a process which has led to the distinctive yew we see today. On the following pages, 28 of the yews in ’paintings are seen as they appeared two hundred and twenty years ago and at they are now. We are grateful to Shropshire Archives for granting us permission to use their material in this way.

  • Rural Settlement List 2014
    National Non Domestic Rates RURAL SETTLEMENT LIST 2014 1 1. Background Legislation With effect from 1st April 1998, the Local Government Finance and Rating Act 1997 introduced a scheme of mandatory rate relief for certain kinds of hereditament situated in ‘rural settlements’. A ‘rural settlement’ is defined as a settlement that has a population of not more than 3,000 on 31st December immediately before the chargeable year in question. The Non-Domestic Rating (Rural Settlements) (England) (Amendment) Order 2009 (S.I. 2009/3176) prescribes the following hereditaments as being eligible with effect from 1st April 2010:- Sole food shop within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole general store within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole post office within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole public house within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £12,500; Sole petrol filling station within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £12,500; Section 47 of the Local Government Finance Act 1988 provides that a billing authority may grant discretionary relief for hereditaments to which mandatory relief applies, and additionally to any hereditament within a rural settlement which is used for purposes which are of benefit to the local community. Sections 42A and 42B of Schedule 1 of the Local Government and Rating Act 1997 dictate that each Billing Authority must prepare and maintain a Rural Settlement List, which is to identify any settlements which:- a) Are wholly or partly within the authority’s area; b) Appear to have a population of not more than 3,000 on 31st December immediately before the chargeable financial year in question; and c) Are, in that financial year, wholly or partly, within an area designated for the purpose.
