If you wonder if advertising in the Parish News can help, I have been reliably informed that, since the last issue, a project manager has come forward to manage the repairs at St. Leonard’s and the Churchyard has benefited from some maintenance work, also by volunteer response to Malcolm and Rob’s article. 3 FROM YOUR DISTRICT COUNCILLOR FOR NAPTON AND FENNY COMPTON You may have heard that central government is proposing new planning rules. Worryingly, it seems that this District could see its house building targets more than doubled under the proposals. In the government’s proposed new planning laws, local discretion over house building rates and numbers will be removed. Central government will share out an annual house building target between local councils, who will then be responsible for finding enough land to meet the target according to a formula. A national planning consultancy has applied the new formulas across all local authority areas in England. The results show that Stratford District’s increase in housing numbers would be one of the largest increases in the West Midlands. The new targets would represent a 129% increase on the current Core Strategy figures to a new requirement of 1675 homes a year. Additionally, because much of the north of the District is green belt, and therefore protected, it would presumably mean much greater increases in house building in the remaining areas, including ours. Although these are central government proposals, my colleagues and I will challenge these ideas locally where we can. Following the unexpected death of County Councillor Bob Stevens, the ‘Notice of Vacancy’ for the Feldon County Division has been published. Normally, this would trigger a by-election. As a result of emergency regulations - the Local Government (Coronavirus) Postponement of Elections and Referendums Act - it is expected that a poll cannot take place until 6 May 2021 at the earliest. If anyone wishes to know more about this position, please contact me. (The Feldon county councillor post covers Fenny Compton, Priors Marston & Hardwick, Ladbroke, Wormleighton, Harbury, Bishops & Long Itchington, Farnborough, Deppers, Ufton, Chesterton.) In these unusual times we will have to work through this extended vacancy period as best as we can. For myself, I will be working at a reduced capacity for a while as I recover from my heart attack, with support from colleagues. Again, I express my thanks for that help and for the many messages I have received wishing me well. 4 At the beginning of the Covid crisis, Warwickshire’s recycling centres were all closed, with most reopening a few weeks later. However, Stockton and Wellesbourne did not reopen. I formally raised this matter at the Council meeting on 13th July. My concern was that Stockton, in particular, provides an important local facility serving our area. Thank you to those that signed our on-line petition organised by Cllr Louis Adam and myself to press for reopening. I am pleased to say that the County Council has now announced that reopening is planned for Saturday 26th September, with bookings scheduled to be released a week before. There is a booking system in place for residents to book a slot at all the sites at www.warwickshire.gov.uk/recyclingcentres. Initially, Stockton will be open on Saturday and Sunday only and Wellesbourne will be open on Saturday, Sunday and Monday only. Usual opening hours for these days will apply.

All my life and ministry has been, and remains, rooted in this truth. Whilst I have retired from Parish ministry, and therefore the Bridges Group, I have not retired from the Lord’s work, which is Ministry. Although the circumstances of my departure were not of my choosing, as I was not given an option with integrity in it, so friends, this is not the end of the story. Far from it! The turning of a page will allow freedom for a new chapter to begin. I therefore look forward to the future with expectation and excitement as some of my previous ministries evolve and the Lord opens up new ones. There is much to celebrate and many people to thank. Thank you to Father God for calling me here – may I remain faithful in that calling. Thank you to my family and friends – may they continue to stand with me. Thank you to all my farming friends – our shared journey will continue. Thank you to all in these communities and I look forward to seeing you in the future, albeit in a different context. The Lord always goes ahead of us and has provided a lovely home in the heart of Byfield as from October, so we’ll not be far from you. May God bless you richly in all you do! Revd Celia 6 CELIA PARKES It is with regret that we record the departure of the Reverend Celia Parkes as an Associate Minister in the Bridges Group. Celia took services at St Mary’s on a regular basis, including the popular Sunday Evensongs arranged by Margaret Clarke. She took marriage ceremonies for several Priors Hardwick residents, including Anthony and Jojo Mackenzie and Jago and Hollie Toner and christened Arthur Darbishire. Her cheerful and welcoming disposition made each of these events special for the participants. Celia’s pastoral care and love and empathy for the countryside was evident from her popularity with the farming and wider rural community. A regular attender at the Rugby Farmers Market, she made many friends who will be delighted that she intends to remain in the neighbourhood. Her role at the Priors School was much appreciated by pupils and their parents alike. A parent writes “Celia has been a huge supporter of the school, both as a governor and as our vicar. She has been tireless in her commitment to guiding the children and has been exceptional in her pastoral care of both them and the staff. We will miss her words of wisdom and her community spirit and I know the children will miss her unique assemblies which always had them at their heart”. Whoever we are, we wish her well in whatever she chooses to do, and she will always be welcome in Priors Hardwick. Christopher Hodgson, for and on behalf of Priors Hardwick PCC 7 . The Summer holiday, so very much needed, has clearly thoroughly refreshed so many in our school community. You see it both in the eyes of staff and also in the children: we’ve had such a positive start to the academic year. I truly believe that the way in which we created the opportunity for children to return to school in the summer term to aid transition has paid dividends already.

  • German Prisoners of War on Lowes Lane
    Great War in the Villages Project The Great Escape from Wellesbourne – German Prisoners of War on Lowes Lane In 1917 The War Agricultural committee saw the need to turn barren tracts of land into cultivated areas with Prisoners of War providing the labour. And so, in August of that year, the first German P. O.Ws arrived in the Stratford upon Avon area, to clear some land at Mr. Lane’s Farm, Little Drayton. With most of the young men from the surrounding area still at the Front and the appeals for girls to join the Land Army paying little dividends, additional farm labour was needed in the Wellesbourne parishes. Holly Lodge in Lowes Lane , Wellesbourne Mountford was at the time a large house incorporating a stable block which the military requisitioned in 1918. With some additional work from the local builder, Owen England, the Lodge was now ready for its first intake of German Prisoners. It was late, about 9.30 p.m. on Saturday the 15 th June 1918 when the first contingent arrived to a reception committee of curious villagers. A Lieutenant Kelly, accompanied by several guards, escorted them on the last leg of their journey from Ettington Station to Holly Lodge. The early indications were that their work was good and that they were performing satisfactorily. The Holly Lodge camp was under the control of its ‘parent camp’ and the country’s largest, Poundbury, Dorchester. The welfare of the prisoners was paramount and they were paid for their labours. In preparation for the yearly harvest, a further 30 non commissioned officers arrived in Wellesbourne three weeks later from Dorchester.

With a population approaching 600, it is a rural community that enjoys a largely unspoilt environment. For a parish of our size we enjoy good facilities. These include a Parish Church, a Primary School, a Village Hall with a part-time Post Office and sports facilities including football and cricket pitches and two hard tennis courts. In 2005, a Parish Plan was adopted, copies of which can be found on the village website at www.priorsmarston.org and in autumn 2017 it was agreed that it needed to be updated. Following a well-attended Parish meeting, a detailed Parish Survey was conducted early in 2018 and the full report of the survey is available on the village website. The results of the survey form the backbone of this plan and a summary of actions can be found at the back of this document.
