Some of our normal activities have already been cancelled, and many others are in limbo while we are waiting for indications from the government as to what is going to be permitted. Because of their smaller populations some of our village churches are releasing their dates and times for what they hope to do in good faith (but subject to whatever rules transpire). This is in part as we know that the numbers likely to attend won’t prejudice social distancing. For our churches nearer into town and in larger communities that is a bit more tricky and so we are asking everyone to keep looking at our notice sheets and webpages as lockdown ends for more details nearer the time. In think its safe to say we have plans almost A-Z for the scenarios which might arise. There are however a number of things throughout Advent and Christmas which definitely are going ahead, and I am delighted to point to the articles later in the magazine. Colleagues and church members have been doing a superb job to bring together a number of resources for Advent and Christmas both online, in churches and in the High Street, from the Living Advent Calendar, to the Nativity scene in Church Street, to the Star Festival in St. Mary’s and the High Street and the advent windows to colour in and put up. We have also set up the Nativity Pilgrimage in the hope that even though many people may not be able to attend services in the way they would normally at Christmas churches will be opened, warm and welcoming over the Christmas break and our communities will have the opportunity to come out and experience something of the joyful remembrance of the Birth of Jesus Christ. Other things such as carol concerts will almost certainly need to be virtual and online if they can happen at all - look out for publicity. But which ever way we are able to pray, worship and celebrate that wonderful gift of God’s Sn we can and we will. now more than ever in this difficult time the message of Christ come to live amongst us to share our lives is something of which we need to be reminded for in that there is grace, love and the extraordinary generosity of God who in Jesus is Emmanuel - God with us Simon www.bridgnorthteamministry.org.uk 2 December/January 2020/21 CLERGY THOUGHTS FROM MARJORIE I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength. Philippians 4:12-13 I began writing this before the new lockdown began and the whole nation released a collective sigh of frustration. But at last this strange year is coming to an end. When I was a child I was always looking forward to Christmas or the next birthday; perhaps you did too. And if your parents were like mine, they probably told you not to wish your life away. But I am guessing we have all been wishing this year away and longing to move on to 2021; after all it can’t be any worse than 2020 can it???? It is not always easy to follow Paul’s example, quoted above, but he does not say that he welcomes everything that happens – only that he has learnt to be content when it does. Someone else who seemed to have a similar philosophy was Swedish diplomat Dag Hammarskjold, who, those of you with long memories will recall, was the second secretary general of the UN from 1953 until his tragic death in 1961. One of my favourite prayers - a very short one - is attributed to him and simply says this: Lord, For all that has been - Thanks. For all that will be – Yes It is not always easy to give thanks for all that has been. We may resent or be angry about much of what has happened to us – and resort to that childish phrase – “It’s not fair!” But God does not choose to inflict suffering and hardship upon us; rather what he does, in Christ, is step into our situation and share it with us. And even in this worst of years he has continued to do so. And having his constant, loving presence is cause for thanks. www.bridgnorthteamministry.org.uk 3 December/January 2020/21 Knowing that he has been with us through all our past troubles also gives us the assurance to know that he will continue to be with us in the future. And he will make sure that whatever happens we will get through it. “No trial has overtaken you that is not faced by others. And God is faithful: He will not let you be tried beyond what you are able to bear, but with the trial will also provide a way out so that you may be able to endure it.” (1 Corinthians 10:13) So, despite the uncertainty of the coming year we know that we do not face it alone but step into the New Year with God by our side, and so we too can say, for all that will be – yes. And with that in mind, I think it is worth reminding ourselves of this poem by Minnie Louise Haskins which was quoted by George VI in his wartime broadcast to the then Empire at Christmas 1939 – an even more bleak time: God knows And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year: “Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.” And he replied: “Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the Hand of God. That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way.” So I went forth, and finding the Hand of God, trod gladly into the night. And He led me towards the hills and the breaking of day in the lone East. So, here’s wishing you a happier New Year; and whatever situation you find yourself in at this time, I hope that you will once again know the blessing that Christmas brings, and especially that you will know the joys of Emmanuel – God with us! Marjorie www.bridgnorthteamministry.org.uk 4 December/January 2020/21 Just a bit of fun which hopefully will cheer you up, as you try to identify the poems/poets cited here, including one of Shropshire’s favourite sons! Marjorie Brief Pageant of English Verse I won’t arise and go now, and go to Innisfree, I’ll sanitize the doorknob and make a cup of tea. I won’t go down to the sea again; I won’t go out at all, I’ll wander lonely as a cloud from the kitchen to the hall. There’s a green-eyed yellow monster to the north of Katmandu But I shan’t be seeing him just yet and nor, I think, will you. While the dawn comes up like thunder on the road to Mandalay I’ll make my bit of supper and eat it off a tray. I shall not speed my bonnie boat across the sea to Skye Or take the rolling English road from Birmingham to Rye. About the woodland, just right now, I am not free to go To see the Keep Out posters or the cherry hung with snow, And no, I won’t be travelling much, within the realms of gold, Or get me to Milford Haven. All that’s been put on hold. Give me your hands, I shan’t request, albeit we are friends Nor come within a mile of you, until this trial ends. From the Slightly Foxed website. Author unknown. www.bridgnorthteamministry.org.uk 5 December/January 2020/21 FROM + RICHARD Most human beings have a natural sense of justice. We don’t think it right that people can commit crime and get away with it. It was important at the end of WWII that those guilty of war crimes were seen to be punished. The Nuremberg trials did not accept excuses that they were only obeying orders. It was essential that those accused accepted personal responsibility and its consequences. In the story of the Garden of Eden in the first book of the Bible, one of the characteristics of sin was evading responsibility. Adam blamed Eve, Eve blamed the serpent, and then they ran and hid when God showed up. The story is a powerful one. It identifies a defining human characteristic. When we are bang to rights, we all tend to try to excuse and blame someone else for our misdoings. Advent is for Christians a season where we seek to reflect on our own responsibility and accountability before God. For many people, being accountable in this way sits uncomfortably with popular myths about what God is really like.

  • Crida Wind Proposal: the Facts
    Crida Wind Proposal: The Facts A wind farm called Crida (no such place exists) has been put forward in a proposal to Shropshire Council by developers - Sharenergy in Ludlow, Sustainable Bridgnorth and backed by Natural Power in Wales - to put up two towering industrial wind turbines at Meadowley on the historic Jack Mytton Way. According to the Sunday Times, local property prices will be affected by 40% when an unspoilt area such as around Bridgnorth is turned by developers into a 'wind turbine landscape'. Each will be one and a half times the height of Nelson’s column and will completely dominate the ancient natural landscape around the west of Bridgnorth – the gateway to Shropshire. The Jack Mytton Way will become despoiled and potentially dangerous for inexperienced riders as horses may be startled by the sudden starting of Golaith rotor blades and the noise of the wind turbines. The countryside will be degraded, with the west Bridgnorth Hills becoming a target for land-grabbing developers as Bridgnorth becomes a potential wind turbine landscape and a ‘hot--spot’ for developers. Equestrian tourism in the area will be badly harmed with Triffid-like industrial turbines blighting Shropshire's 'flagship' tourist trail for thousands of riders, walkers and cyclists. Shropshire Council describes the trail as giving visitors and locals the chance to discover the 'secret treasures' of the county's 'unspoilt countryside'. The turbines will desecrate the local historic countryside in the west Bridgnorth Hills, with views, noise, and potential health problems seriously affecting the villages of Morville, Chetton, Underton, Meadowley, Upton Cressett, Morville Heath, Tasley, The Lye, Aston Eyre.

  • 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.

  • Preferred Options Consultation Final Draft
    Shropshire Local Plan Review: Consultation on Preferred Sites November 2018 6. Bridgnorth Place Plan Area 6.1. The Bridgnorth Place Plan Area is located in east Shropshire. The Place Plan area contains the Principal Centre of Bridgnorth; the proposed Community Hubs of Alveley and Ditton Priors; and numerous other small villages and hamlets. Settlement Type Settlement Name Principal Centre: Bridgnorth • Alveley Community Hubs: • Ditton Priors Community • Acton Round, Aston Eyre, Monkhopton and Upton Cressett Clusters: • Neenton 6.2. If your village is not included in the list of Community Hubs or Community Clusters above, then this means that it will be ‘countryside’ for planning policy purposes, where new development is strictly controlled in accordance with national and local planning policies. 46 Shropshire Local Plan Review: Consultation on Preferred Sites November 2018 Principal Centre: Bridgnorth 6.3. Bridgnorth (2016 population 12,260) is the third largest town in Shropshire and acts as a principal service centre not just for the town, but for a sizeable area of eastern Shropshire. Located at the junction of the A458 and the A442, it is within relatively easy commuting distance of Telford, Shrewsbury, Kidderminster, Wolverhampton and the Black Country. 6.4. The town straddles the River Severn, and comprises a Low Town and a High Town perched on cliffs 100ft above. The combination of medieval street pattern and many fine old buildings has created a unique town of considerable charm which, together with its steam railway, helps to support a thriving tourist economy. 6.5. There are strong environmental constraints in Bridgnorth, mainly due to the river and its floodplain, natural topography and areas of high landscape value to the south and north of the town.

The RA Friends’ tours often visit stately homes to view their magnificent state rooms and painting collections, and then sadly have to leave. However on this tour, Friends will actually be staying and dining in a beautiful stately home, Weston Park, surrounded by a remarkable collection of paintings, furniture, ceramics and tapestries. “You will find Weston beautiful. I marvel whether I shall ever see the like again! It is a place that always pleased me.” – Benjamin Disraeli, 8th June 1878 Photos © Trustees of the Weston Park Foundation Our first-class accommodation will be in the 28 individually decorated and designed bedrooms at Monday 23 October 2017 Weston Park, which include all the amenities you would expect of a luxury hotel, but which also contain 12.45pm family heirlooms from Weston Park’s original owners, antique furniture and period design features, that you wouldn’t.

  • An Archaeological Analysis of Anglo-Saxon Shropshire A.D. 600 – 1066: with a Catalogue of Artefacts
    An Archaeological Analysis of Anglo-Saxon Shropshire A.D. 600 – 1066: With a catalogue of artefacts By Esme Nadine Hookway A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MRes Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham March 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract The Anglo-Saxon period spanned over 600 years, beginning in the fifth century with migrations into the Roman province of Britannia by peoples’ from the Continent, witnessing the arrival of Scandinavian raiders and settlers from the ninth century and ending with the Norman Conquest of a unified England in 1066. This was a period of immense cultural, political, economic and religious change. The archaeological evidence for this period is however sparse in comparison with the preceding Roman period and the following medieval period. This is particularly apparent in regions of western England, and our understanding of Shropshire, a county with a notable lack of Anglo-Saxon archaeological or historical evidence, remains obscure. This research aims to enhance our understanding of the Anglo-Saxon period in Shropshire by combining multiple sources of evidence, including the growing body of artefacts recorded by the Portable Antiquity Scheme, to produce an over-view of Shropshire during the Anglo-Saxon period.
