Burrator BEACON Spring 2019 Time Capsule at Walkhampton School unearthed Photo – Karen Batson 2 Burrator Beacon Editorial – Karen Batson I remember when that time capsule was buried. At the time, 2019 seemed eons away! And now here it is! I hope the start of the new year has brought hope and cheer (even with Brexit looming!) to you. There’s lots to read about in this issue and by the time you do, Spring will be here with all the promises of new life… The summer issue of the Burrator Beacon will be published at the end of May. Deadline for copy will be Tuesday 7th May, at the latest. That issue will cover the months up until the end of August 2019. Don’t forget, this is your magazine for your parish, so we would like to hear from you! Do consider writing a piece about anything of interest. Please send all submissions as Word attachments, as this makes the cut and pasting process much simpler! Parish Clerk’s Report – Lucie Luke The Planning Committee have recently been consulted on the following applications with the Parish Council’s comments in bold: 0632/18 Proposed erection of outbuilding at Routrundle, Sampford Spiney. SUPPORT 0643/18 Proposed provision of hanging slates and render of external walls at Old School House, Sheepstor SUPPORT 0640/18 Proposed erection of two storey extension, removal of sun room and construction of double garage at Briarfield, Meavy Lane, Yelverton SUPPORT 0631/18 Proposed amendments, including new porches, to existing house and extensions to existing second storey and construction of new double garage at Wortleigh, Meavy Lane, Yelverton SUPPORT 0676/18 Proposed single storey extension to rear west elevation and modifications of existing roofline at The Oaks, Burrator Road, Dousland. SUPPORT Over the winter months, Councillors have been considering the draft Dartmoor Local Plan and have submitted comments via the Parish Council. The usual concerns of the conditions of our highways are voiced regularly to Highways but we urge all residents to use the online report form for pot holes and road erosion throughout the Parish. The Parish Council commissioned a survey on the old Meavy Oak Tree on Meavy Green. It is agreed that the Parish Council would like to see the tree remaining upright and safe for as long as possible. Please read article on page 11 for further information. The Parish Council commended the village of Walkhampton for their marvellous Christmas Light display and have agreed that a Christmas Tree can be planted on the Green for annual use, providing that all local residents that view the green have no objections. Burrator Beacon 3 Village Halls Please support our local village halls for your meetings, parties and activities. All the halls have disabled access and they vary in size and facilities so one of them will suit your requirements. All the Halls are run by willing volunteers who strive to keep them in good repair providing vital facilities for our communities. Meavy Parish Hall Alison Stoker 853389 Sheepstor Village Hall Patrick Drennan 853186 Walkhampton Memorial Hall Sheila Glanville 859215 They will be able to advise you on availability, hire charges and terms & conditions of hire. What’s on in Sheepstor… Sheepstor Village Hall Report Autumn 2018 Patrick Drennan - Chairperson Sheepstor Village Hall Well done to Corinna Legassick for hosting a very enjoyable and successful German evening on November 30th. 25 people attended and over £300 was raised, from the ticket sales and tombola, for the SVH coffers. There were many appreciative comments from within and outside the village. A big thank you to the host for her generosity with the food donations, and admiration for the way she transformed the hall with mood lighting and decorations. Estimates are being supplied by two local builders for the repair work required on the exterior soffit board, and from commercial electricians for replacing the obsolete fluorescent lighting strips. These will be fitted with covers that remove wavelengths that are damaging to lupus sufferers, as we have two very active hall supporters who suffer from this unpleasant condition. It should also improve the ambience for the rest of us! We will be applying for a grant to help with the costs of the exterior work and making use of the monies already given by Burrator Parish Council in 2018 for the electrical work. The SVH Constitution & Deeds subcommittee had its first meeting in January under the chairmanship of Trevor Rookes, and Stephen Hopson and Richard Bayly have agreed to be the new Holding Trustees for the village hall. At the SVHC meeting on January 18th the death of Sheepstor’s centenarian Denise Bayly was specially mentioned, as she had been a staunch supporter of the village hall and one of the two founding Holding Trustees. Very appropriately her family held her wake at the hall and her amazing life was celebrated with toasts of pink champagne! Sadly, the Bingo evening planned for February 8th had to be cancelled as the press- ganged callers, Helen & John, were unable to locate the equipment. It was last seen in a cupboard which used to be by the fireplace but appears to have walked since that object’s demise. There is no truth in the rumour that the current chairperson has hidden it, being a heathen as far as the bingo cult is concerned! After discussions with the bird man of Sheepstor, he will be conducting surveys of the area in April, May and June, and is happy to have up to a dozen interested persons accompany him on these dawn walks. He very generously is not charging 4 Burrator Beacon for his time and expertise and is happy for all monies raised to go to SVH repair fund. Expressions of interest in taking part to me please and then I will let those people know as soon as I have the dates. Tickets will be £10, which will include a cuppa and a bacon butty in the hall afterwards. Advance notice is given of the SVH AGM, to be held on Friday May 10th at 7pm. Sheepstor Villages in Action Patrick Drennan The Drystones (www.thedrystones.co.uk), a Somerset duo, will be performing at St Leonard’s Church Sheepstor on Saturday April 13th at 7.30pm, as part of The Villages in Action Spring 2019 menu. Doors open at 6.45 pm, with refreshments available. Advance Tickets £9 adult, £7 child, £25 family, on 01822 853186 / [email protected]. On the door tickets will be £10, with 100 as the maximum number of seats available, so please book early to avoid disappointment, and assist the catering requirements! All profits, after VIA’s guaranteed ticket percentage take, will be shared between the Friends of St Leonard’s Church Sheepstor (FOSLCS) and Sheepstor Village Hall (SVH). Alex Garden (fiddle, vocals) and Ford Collier (guitar, tin whistle, vocals) have had a strong musical partnership since their secondary school days. Able to navigate different traditions, introduce instantaneous changes of pace, and stitch together tunes and songs into an eclectic live set, The Drystones’ seemingly telepathic communication has always kept audiences on their toes. It’s no wonder they have earned themselves a nomination for the 2018 BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award’ ‘The Drystones are a lively young folk duo from Priddy in Somerset, playing violin, guitar and whistle, who have made a big splash since they formed in July 2011 they have played festivals all over the West Country (including Larmer Tree, Sidmouth, Broadstairs, Purbeck and Folk East), and at their 2013 Glastonbury Festival performance they were highlighted by Steve Lamacq on Radio 2 as his “recommendation of the day”. According to Living Tradition “to describe their instrumental style as spirited and animated would be akin to asserting that Bellowhead can be quite an energetic band!” I have been in discussions with Jeremy Wells of the Tamar Valley Male Voice Choir (TVMVC) (www.tamarvalleymvc.co.uk) about the feasibility of them performing in St Leonard’s Church this summer. Despite some initial concerns about available space we think it’s possible for approximately 30 of their members to squeeze in between the rood screen and the front pews. They only charge a nominal fee to cover their running costs, as their aim is to support local charities. The provisional date for the concert is Saturday August 24th and the aim will be to have a varied programme that reflects that time of year. The ticketing arrangements, concert times and refreshment availability will be as for The Drystones concert in April mentioned above. The Autumn VIA menu is usually launched in April time and I hope to be able to secure a booking from the listings to entertain you in the last quarter of 2019. http://villagesinaction.co.uk/events/ Burrator Beacon 5 and Walkhampton… WALKHAMPTON MEMORIAL HALL For Hire LARGE HALL AREA NEW LARGE WELL- EQUIPPED KITCHEN AND SERVERY FREE WI-FI LARGE PARKING AREA WITH EASY ACCESS REASONABLE HIRE RATES WITH REGULAR USER DISCOUNTS ELECTRICITY INCLUDED WITH SINGLE HIRES GREAT CHILDREN’S PARTY SPACE ROOM INSIDE FOR A BOUNCY CASTLE LARGE FIELD WITH PLAY AREA EXCELLENT CORPORATE SPACE Local professional catering available REGULAR EVENTS PRE-SCHOOL WITH GOOD Ofsted, OPEN EVERY WEEK DAY Art Club on Mondays, YOGA CLASSES – Tuesdays……INDOOR BOWLS - Wednesdays SATURDAY COFFEE SHOP AND MARKET 10AM UNTIL NOON HIRE BOOKING 01822 859215 OTHER INFORMATION 01822 855140 Lady Modiford’s School Time Capsule Karen Batson On a chilly afternoon in January, there was much excitement at Lady Modiford’s School, Walkhampton.

This information has been produced by the Dartmoor National Park Authority in conjunction with Dartmoor For All, and is designed to help and encourage those who are disabled, less mobile or have young children, to relax, unwind and enjoy the peace and quiet of the beautiful countryside in the Dartmoor area. This information will help you to make the right choices for your day out. Nearly half of Dartmoor is registered common land. Under the Dartmoor Commons Act 1985, a right of access was created for persons on foot or horseback. This right extends to those using wheelchairs, powered wheelchairs and mobility scooters, although one should be aware that the natural terrain and gradients may curb access in practice. Common land and other areas of 'access land' are marked on the Ordnance Survey (OS) map, Outdoor Leisure 28.

    Burrator BEACON Autumn 2018 Re-opening of Burrator reservoir after it was raised in 1928 (Photo credit: South West Water) 2 Burrator Beacon Editorial – Karen Batson As you have driven across Dartmoor, you may have noticed signs showing the number of sheep or ponies killed by vehicles in a particular area of the moor. Sadly, this is an ongoing problem. There are two articles after the Clerk’s Report about this important issue, which relate directly to our parish. Thanks must go to those volunteers who are giving up their own time to protect our livestock and, it must be said, US! Who knows how long it will be before another member of the public is a victim of those who continue to put their own needs first before the safety of all? On a lighter note, there are lots of interesting reports in this issue, which bear testament to all those other volunteers who work hard to stage events and entertainment for our benefit. The winter issue of the Burrator Beacon will be published at the end of November. Deadline for copy will be Tuesday 6th November, at the latest. That issue will cover the months up until the end of February 2019. Don’t forget, this is your magazine for your parish, so we would like to hear from you! Do consider writing a piece about any of the events you have participated in, or visited, in our area. We need to spread the word about all the great things that happen around here.

A complex web of personal associations and informal alliances underpinned politics and governance in Tudor England; but whereas a great deal is now understood about relations between both the political elite and the organs of government at the centre of affairs, many questions still remain unanswered about how networks of political actors functioned at a provincial and neighbourhood level, and how these networks kept in touch with one another, central government and the court.
