Services at St Maryʼs for October

Sunday 4th 11am Holy Communion Sunday 11th 11am Family Service Sunday 18th 11am Holy Communion Sunday 25th 11am Service of the Word (come and choose a hymn)

You Are Welcome To All Our Services

“Friends of St Mary” would like to thank everyone who took part in the Garage/Yard Sale in September. We were lucky (just about!) with the weather and around £370 was raised for the Church funds. We had a good turnout of people from all over - and we hope you were all successful with your selling. We have to thank the contractors who are working through Kenninghall for opening up Church Street for the day, which made access to the stalls and Church much easier.

Another Garage/Yard Sale will take place on 3rd September 2016, so make a note in your diaries!! 2 2 Notes from the editor

They say that truth can be stranger than fiction, and my thanks go to Nick Boyd for providing evidence of this. Those of us of a certain age may look back fondly on Monty Python’s “Bruces” sketch. What Nick talks about seems almost as funny, but the difference is that the people actually existed, and did pretty well for themselves militarily. It’s stories like his that really bring history to life - as, too, do Peter McLuckie’s letters (his latest one brings back scary memories of a Bulgarian holiday from some thirty years ago!) - and I would be happy hear from anyone else with their own stories to tell.

As an aside, for those who don’t have the time to research the questions raised at the end of Nick’s piece the answers are pinned on the Kenninghall Noticeboard in the centre of the newsletter!

************** For some time now I’ve been threatening to do a follow up on a piece that I did on Robert Davy earlier in the year. To complete the research I still need to meet up with a couple of people in the village who have some information about him. I had hoped to have done this by now, but various unanticipated events have sidetracked me. My apologies to them for the delay.

8 by Steve Gordon, Chairman

Cable layers move on The cable laying exercise taking place in the village will probably all but have completed its time in the village itself by the time this article is published. It has inevitably been frustrating for those affected by the temporarily impaired vehicular access to their houses and also for traffic circulation in general due to the diversions put in place. A number of residents of Church Street attended the last Parish Council meeting to express their frustrations. On the plus side, overall I have only heard good reports about the attitude and helpfulness of the workmen carrying out the job. I have been informed that the teams will now continue to excavate the remainder of East Church Street and estimate that the entire road will be excavated and reinstated by 4th October. They will then have the cable installed and jointed by 11th October all the way to Fersfield Road. As PC chair I have chased the contractors Power On Connections a few times over the past few weeks, particularly about the late start to the work and, 10 days on, unnecessary diversion signs. Latterly I have contacted them with a strong request to clean up properly and restore the roads and footpaths to their normal state (which, if we are honest, was not that great to start with!). Last, but not least, there are large questions over the sustainability of the whole project, based as it is on burning straw to produce electricity. The Government subsidies involved must be substantial to be able to include covering the costs of the laying of a cable from Snetterton to Diss, let alone for the rest of the project. Now that school is back The traffic and parking situation around the village school continues to get worse at the peak times of day for pupils' entry and exit . For those who can, please take the time to walk your children to and from school or get them to do it themselves if old enough. The exercise alone will be worth it! And drivers, it would be helpful to avoid driving along the part of Lopham Road road outside the school at those peak times if possible.

10 Centenaries and Celebrations by Nick Boyd

This year Waterloo, ten years ago Trafalgar. We do these things well, but centenaries can be overlooked or the event forgotten, and sometimes fame may cause confusion. Until 1959 I had an antique relative, Emma; to us the last of the Jersey aunts, but in fact the last living child of my mother’s great grandfather who was born in 1809. She outlived all her immediate family by a quarter of a century and was a colourful, sociable character, often dressed in shocking pink! Also she was well known in St Helier because one of her grandfathers had fought in the Peninsula and at Waterloo under Wellington, while the other was at Trafalgar. I have never known anyone else all of whose grandparents were born in the 18th century. Waterloo grandfather was born 180 years before Emma died. Captain Digby Dent, whose youngest daughter was my mother’s grandmother, was a Midshipman at Trafalgar and the Dents were naval officers. There were fifteen, four of them Admirals, over eight consecutive generations from 1695 until the last died in 1959, incidentally in Norfolk. They were intermarried with another military family called Hawker, with another two Admirals. One problem was that ten of the Dents had the same first name, Digby, eight of them naval. For over a century there were always two Digby Dents afloat in four combinations; at one time two on the same ship! At least when two Dents were on the same ship at the battle of Algeciras in 1817 only one was a Digby, as they were brothers. The family not only confused the family historian in 1893 but also naval historians and, I believe, King George III. During a visit to Portsmouth in 1788, King George conferred a knighthood on Captain Digby Dent, Flag Captain to Admiral Pye, for a leading role in a battle several years before. The fact is, though, that Captain, later Admiral Dent, had been in just one indecisive battle, and was not born until the very year his uncle, Captain Digby Dent, fought in the action! The battle was as famous as Waterloo and Trafalgar. With meticulous planning and execution of a surprise attack, at dawn a small squadron of six ships captured a Spanish South American port and city defended by two

11 castles. The battle was over in two hours, with negligible loss of life and material on both sides, and surrender the next morning. Digby Dent’s role was indeed a leading one, as he commanded the first ship of the line and the wind died when he got into action. It was half an hour before the next ship came up, the others following at intervals, the sixth too late to take part. The geopolitical and economic effects of the event lasted until the opening of the Panama Canal. We all know Trafalgar Square, but who now knows why whole districts of Edinburgh and Dublin and a road in London are called Portobello? Or that the song Rule Britannia was composed for, and first sung at, the celebration banquet at Cliveden with Frederick, Prince of Wales, present? More medals were struck for the participants in the battle than for any other naval event in the 18th century; remarkable considering the small number of ships involved. I have not found that the centenary was noted and in 1939 we had other things on our minds, So here is an example of a forgotten event and subsequent confusion. And this month, on October 25th, the Saints day of two brothers, patron saints of shoemakers, who will remember the multiple centenary of the unlikely victory of a small, tired and hungry army in retreat over a fresh army of overwhelming numbers? A victory that secured the permanent military reputation of one young man.

17 Tree News by Lucy

I hope everyone had a good summer. It has been a strange one weather wise, cold and dry to begin with and now cold and wet. The bees didn't like it much, but having said that this year’s fruit crop has been nearly as good as last year’s, which was a bumper harvest.

The wood is looking really good, and really does feel like a proper wood now. The monthly work parties are doing excellent work clearing the paths to enable us to mow them with an 8ft tractor and mower. Some paths have become overgrown but we plan to clear them gradually over the winter. Thank you crew for your hard work.

Jobs to look forward to are, laying the hedge in Kenninghall wood by the footpath under tuition, and coppicing some of the hazel area. Watch this space for dates.

Thanks to Tom Webster who cleared out the ditch the other side of the hedge. The path has not become water-logged, which considering the amount of rain we have had recently is a massive plus. Thanks Tom!

19 Recycling Plastic is Fantastic!

Making something like a fleece out of 26 plastic bottles seems like an implausible statement but it is now very much a reality. When once we were left with dirty plastic bottles, which take over 450 years to biodegrade in landfill, now we have recycling as an environmentally friendly solution. This autumn, Breckland's Environmental Services Team is focusing on a different area every month and October’s focus is plastic.

Plastic is a really big issue in today’s society. There are islands of plastic floating around our oceans - one in the Pacific Ocean is estimated to be the same size of the state of Texas! We must all act to address the problem and do the right thing with our plastic waste rather than throwing it into landfill or littering our environment.

Cue recycling!

In Breckland we are now part of the lucky 50% of all UK households to have a kerbside collection of plastic pots, bottles, tubs and trays. Meaning we are paving the way for the rest of Britain by reducing our landfill.

Plastics are a very resource-intensive material to make, so it is especially important that we make every effort to recycle them as much as possible. It takes 75% less energy to make a plastic bottle from recycled plastic compared with using ‘virgin’ materials. This means a saving of 1.5 tonnes of carbon for every 1 tonne of plastic bottles recycled.

Don’t forget, plastic recycling in Breckland doesn’t stop at plastic bottles, as we can also recycle plastic food pots (like yoghurt pots), plastic food tubs (like margarine tubs) and plastic food trays (like ready meal trays) as well as fruit punnets.

We currently cannot recycle cling film/plastic-wrappers, polystyrene, plastic toys and other hard plastic objects, plant pots and plastic carrier bags/bin liners, but who knows what the future will bring? Let’s fill our recycling bins and encourage more people to recycle pots and pots of plastic. So don’t bottle it today and make sure you recycle the right plastic!

If you have any questions about what can and cannot be recycled, look on the Breckland Council website, email [email protected] or call 01362 656878.

20 Talking Turkey

I am happy to report that the turkeys don’t seem to be too bothered by the lack of summer sun.

Both groups are now mixed together and spend all day, when the weather is fine, enjoying themselves outside. When the showers come along they quickly make for cover either under trees or back in the barn, from where they watch the rain!

The order book is open and ready for your calls, for either turkeys of any weight or large chickens. We are also happy to supply sausagemeat, chipolatas, and sausages.

Call 01379 697230 to place your order with any of the Wood family.
