I know we’re all looking forward to summer and the gradual return to more opportunities for events and social gatherings. So let’s hope that BOOK REVIEW 4 June sees the beginning of all that – at least our gardens should be lush and green by the time the sunshine reappears! (By the way, don’t forget to visit the Sensory Garden at Aldeburgh Hospital – a photo from last SAVE OUR BEES 6 year was on the cover of the May issue.) BACK TO THE BIG SCREEN 7 Although audience numbers will still be limited, it’s good to see that there are concerts planned at Aldeburgh Jubilee Hall and Snape Maltings, and that the cinema is open with some of the films we’ve all been waiting GARDENING NOTES 9 for – at last on a big screen. The new outdoor theatre at Thorington should be a great new local attraction, with events planned right through the summer. Their season opens on 18th June, with (appropriately) a production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. LIBRARY NEWS 11 Alan and Christine of Aldeburgh’s Amazing Swifts have a busy time coming up as the swifts returned to our skies very early in May. Alan will post an update later in the year, but until then his ‘Meanwhile, CITIZENS ADVICE 13 outdoors’ column will suggest some wildlife to look out for while you’re out and about. On a personal note, this will be my last editorial. I’m putting my red pens back in their box – and ABC RADIO 16 retiring. It has been a great pleasure to contribute to the production of this magazine and in doing so to feel part of the community of Aldeburgh.

SAXMUNDHAM NEWS SOUTHWOLD ORGAN WOODBRIDGE TALK 3 ALDEBURGH TIMES BOOK REVIEW A LONG PETAL OF THE SEA by Isabel Allende PAPERBACK £8.99 Isabel Allende is the highly acclaimed author of many works of fiction and some non-fiction. Her first novel, The House Of Spirits, was Novel of the Year in her native Chile in 1983 and since then she has gone on to receive similar recognition worldwide. In 2019, she published A Long Petal Of The Sea, a lyrical story of conflict, love and loyalty. In 1939, as the Spanish Civil War rages, young Catalan Victor Dalmau works tirelessly to help the wounded men who are fighting against the forces of General Franco. It is a struggle that costs him his brother and his homeland. Aided by friends, Victor is able to arrange for the safe passage of his brother’s pregnant girlfriend, Roser, to France. That same year, the poet Pablo Neruda persuades the Chilean government to receive a number of refugees from the Spanish Civil War. It is under these circumstances that Victor, Roser and Roser’s son are able to flee the threat of war in Europe and start a new life. Allende’s story is inspired by historical events connected with her own family and is deftly woven with extracts of Neruda’s poetry.

  • Thorington – a Theatre Near You!
    Thorington – a Theatre Near You! Up to now, “We’re going to the theatre tonight” has meant putting on your glad-rags for a trip to Halesworth, Bungay, Lowestoft or even Norwich. But this summer, you’d be able to walk there! Thorington Open Air Theatre is taking shape right on our doorstep. It is in a magical setting on Thorington Lane, close to the Roundhouse just off the A12. Built from coppiced chestnuts at the site – sustainability is a prominent theme here - its 350 seats form a horseshoe in the natural amphitheatre of a WWII bomb crater. The brainchild of Lindy and Mark O’Hare who own the land, work started six months ago. The stage and seating are taking shape under the expert hand of Silas Rayner, who is a musician and also has a background in putting on arts events. The first scheduled performances in June will be the Shakespeare favourite A Midsummer Night’s Dream, followed by an impressive range of shows 1 catering for most tastes, from Treasure Island to The Spirit of Woodstock all presented by regionally or nationally-respected theatre companies. Helped by coverage in the national press, Lindy says that the interest has been phenomenal, and they have been approached by many theatre groups. Anne and I have walked over to see the theatre (in the snow!) and it is indeed in an idyllic spot and does have that ‘magical’ feel to it. What an asset to our villages … roll on the end of Lockdown! The Theatre has an excellent website where you can view the scheduled performances, although bookings won’t be taken until March.

  • The Reduced Population and Wealth of Early Fifteenth
    THE REDUCED POPULATION AND WEALTH OF EARLY FIFTEENTH-CENTURY SUFFOLK by DAVID DYMOND, M.A., F.S.A. and ROGER VIRGOE, PH.D., F.R.HIST.S. IN THE SESSION of Parliament which met between 27 January and 25 March 1428, the Council governing England during Henry VI's minority asked for subsidies to pay for the continuing war in France and for the safe-keeping of the sea. In response the Commons made three grants.' The first was of tunnage and poundage for a year; the second a grant of 6s. 8d. per knight' s fee, a traditional and by now obsolescent feudal aid; the third was a novel, if not quite unprecedented, tax levied on parishes and not, like the normal fifteenth and tenth, on townships.' The last of these grants is the most interesting. Payment had to be made by each rural parish which had ten households or more. If the living of the church was assessed for clerical taxes at less than ten marks, householders were to pay half a mark (6s. 8d.); if it was assessed at ten marks or more, they were to pay at the rate of one mark (13s. 4d.) for each ten marks' valuation. In boroughs the householders of each parish were to pay at the rate of 2s. for every £1 in the valuation of the living. Those parishes which contained fewer than ten households were exempt from payment. It is not the purpose of this paper to examine the reasons for this peculiar hybrid tax, which was not repeated.' For the local historian the most interesting information in the returns is the listing of exempt parishes with small populations.

  • WALBERSWICK Is a Name of Saxon Origin
    WALBERSWICK is a name of Saxon origin; the first two syllables are a modernised form of the name Waldbert, or Walhbert, probably a Saxon Thane or landowner, while 'wyc' was a shelter, or harbour; hence Waldbert's harbour, the bend in the river Blyth forming a haven at that time for ships entering the river at Dunwich. The present outlet is artificial, cut by the men of Walberswick and Southwold in A.D. 1590; a wooden pier on the north side was built in A.D. 1749, and one on the south side in A.D. 1752. The situation of the town originally was indicated by the position of an ancient Church, which stood on the border of the marshes some three or four hundred yards to the south of the site of the present Church. Robert Blackmore, senior, in order to cultivate the ground, carried away the last visible remains of this old Church in A.D. 1728. Probably the town spread in an eastward direction from this point and northwards to the common. The proportions of the ruins of the present Church are evidence of a large population and some wealth, especially when it is remembered that the Church was built at the cost of the townsmen. Here a considerable trade was done in butter, cheese, bacon, corn, timber, coals, salt and fish, principally the last. Commerce was encouraged by a series of Charters dated A.D. 1262, 1483, 1485, 1553, 1558 and 1625, exempting the tradesmen both from tolls and taxes upon their business and also from the entrance of any officer to serve processes of law.

  • Report for Annual Parish Meeting, 2018
    REPORT FOR ANNUAL PARISH MEETING, 2018 FROM COUNTY COUNCILLOR RICHARD SMITH, MVO REPRESENTING BLYTHING DIVISION, SUFFOLK COUNTY COUNCIL Blything Division covers the town of Saxmundham and the parishes of Blythburgh, Bramfield, Darsham, Dunwich, Kelsale-cum-Carlton, Middleton, Theberton, Thorington, Walberswick, Wenhaston, Westleton and Yoxford I have served as a Suffolk County Councillor since 2010. For the first seven years I represented Aldeburgh, Leiston, Knodishall, Aldringham and Thorpenesss, but took the opportunity presented by Michael Gower deciding to step down in Blything to move and stand as a candidate here in the May 2017 County Council elections. I worked hard during the election campaign and was pleased and honoured to be elected as your County Councillor. My reasoning for moving Divisions included wanting to live within the area that I represent and, being a resident of Saxmundham for the last 27 years, I have achieved that. But to be frank the disadvantage has been the greatly increased number of parishes I now represent – rising from four to twelve, if Dunwich Parish Meeting is included as it should be. I have been fortunate to be a member of the County Council’s Cabinet, first responsible for planning, environmental and economic development and more lately having political responsibility for finance (which encompasses a net annual budget of around half a billion Pounds), first combined with responsibilities for arts, museums and library services, but now combined with transformation of the way the council delivers its services, and also since last May for the Sizewell C Project. I hope you will understand that this workload keeps me busy – for perhaps 70 hours each week – and thus I have not been as frequent a visitor to Parish Council meetings as I should wish.
