At oNe poiNt Willie WoNkA was showing the assorted guests around a beautiful garden full of sweet and wonderful things to eat. When VeroniCa Salt’s father asked Mr Wonka how he made moNey from these beAutiful surrouNdiNgs, he wAs told thAt thAt wAs Not what the garden was for. Every gArdeNer, I’m sure, would be with Willie WoNkA oN thAt! GArdeNs Come iN All sizes ANd styles. And of Course vegetAbles ANd ChiCkeNs CAN be A help to ANy household eCoNomy. However the populAr ‘OpeN GArdeNs’ dAys we hAve iN villAges suCh As CumwhittoN and Hayton tell us that the delight of a garden is about its beauty and creativity rather than its usefulness. Even when a garden is filled with swings And wendy houses for children’s plAy, it is being dedicated to joy rather than utility. In the Bible gArdeNs Are somethiNg more eveN thAN plACes of beAuty. They Are ofteN plACes of momeNtous drAma. ThiNk of the old story of AdAm ANd Eve iN the GArdeN of EdeN, A plACe where humaN beiNgs Are portrAyed As CreAtive Co- workers with God – until the Fall, when life in the garden gives wAy to travail in A wAstelANd. ThiNk of the GArdeN of GethsemaNe, where Jesus prAys for streNgth for his ordeAl the Next dAy, wheN he will beAr the Cost of humaN siN. And there he is arrested. Think of the Easter garden where MAry MAgdalene finds the open tomb ANd mistAkes the riseN Christ for the gArdeNer. IN A seNse she wAs right first time, for he is the diviNe gArdeNer restoriNg CreAtioN, giviNg us A New EdeN, A new beginning. We don’t have to look far beyond our gardens to see a world that all too often is Closer to A wAstelANd where the drAma of the FAll is plAyed out AgAiN ANd AgAiN. The Bible alwAys challenges us to expand our vision and see the biggest picture. We may feel thAt “oNe is NeArer God’s heArt iN A gArdeN thAN ANywhere else in earth,” to quote Dorothy Gurney, but we cannot escape the reality that we still Need the grACe of God to restore ANd remake – first us And then our world.

  • Share Prospectus 2017
    Hallbankgate Hub Ltd: A Community Benefit Society Share Offer You are invited to join a community enterprise providing a shop and cafe in Hallbankgate and a Hub for the village and the surrounding area. There has been a co-operative in the village of Hallbankgate for more than 130 years. It is part of the history and fabric of the village and has been a lifeline for many people. We want to continue this rich tradition of having a shop at the heart of the community. Scottish Midland Co-operative Society took ownership of the village shop in 2013 and closed it at the beginning of June 2015. Hallbankgate Hub Ltd, a Community Benefit Society set up by local people in 2015, then raised funds to buy the premises and re-open a shop combined with a café and community facilities in Hallbankgate. This now provides local residents with an attractive, friendly place that meets most of their shopping needs. By extending the services provided beyond those of a traditional Co-op we hope to ensure that the shop is viable and has a secure and certain future. The Hub is owned and controlled by the community through the Community Benefit Society. It can issue shares to ensure that everybody in the community who wishes can be a part-owner of the business and thus join in the process of deciding its development and its future. If you are not already a shareholder, the Management Committee of the Hub now invites you to buy shares for this purpose. This offer stands open indefinitely.

But too many of them are suffering from neglect, decay and pressure from development. Heritage at Risk is a national project to identify these endangered places and then help secure their future. In 2008 English Heritage published its first register of Heritage at Risk – a region-by-region list of all the Grade I and II* listed buildings (and Grade II listed buildings in London), structural scheduled monuments, registered battlefields and protected wreck sites in England known to be ‘at risk’.

  • Political Society in Cumberland and Westmorland 1471-1537
    Political Society in Cumberland and Westmorland 1471-1537 By Edward Purkiss, BA (Hons). Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. School of History and Classics University of Tasmania. 2008. This Thesis contains no material which has been accepted for a degree or diploma by the University or any other institution, except by way of background information and duly acknowledged in the thesis and to the best of my knowledge and belief no material previously published or written by another person except where due acknowledgement is made in the text of the thesis, nor does the thesis contain any material that infringes copyright. 30 May, 2008. I place no restriction on the loan or reading of this thesis and no restriction, subject to the law of copyright, on its reproduction in any form. 11 Abstract The late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries have often been seen as a turning point in the development of the English state. At the beginning of the period the authority of the Crown was offset by powerful aristocratic interests in many regional areas. By the mid sixteenth century feudal relationships were giving way to a centrally controlled administration and government was reaching into regional political communities through direct connections between the Crown and local gentlemen. This thesis will trace these developments in Cumberland and Westmorland. It will argue that archaic aspects of government and society lingered longer here than in regions closer London. Feudal relationships were significant influences on regional political society well beyond the mid sixteenth century. This was a consequence of the area's distance from the centre of government and its proximity to a hostile enemy.

  • Village News - Farlam Parish Summer 2020 June to August We L C O M E
    Village News - Farlam Parish Summer 2020 June to August We l c o m e Well, it’s not difficult to pick the main talking point around the world at the moment. Most of us will know or have heard some bad news on friends, relatives or work colleagues who have been infected with COVID-19. Like so many events of this nature, the situation brings out the very best and the very worst in human nature. From the tireless efforts of hospital staff to the ignorance and stupidity of those who chose to ignore lockdown measures, the full range of mankind’s ability to try and save or destroy itself has been shown to us via our TV screens. Looking to the positives, the weather has been really good, and most of us with a garden will have spent a lot more time in it than we had perhaps planned. Our pace of life has slowed down, time to reflect, read more and listen to more music than usual. Baking product sales have never been so good, and baking powder is now as rare as hens teeth! Claire and I have been spending half the working week down at the Hub, where, along with the other volunteers, we have been keeping the shop open and arranging deliveries of food to those self - isolating. The kind and positive feedback from them has kept us going in these difficult times, and a big thank you to all those who are helping in making this happen. What the future holds, no one knows, but the world will certainly have changed for the experience and lets hope that it reacts in a positive and supportive way.

    AGRICULTURAL:ADJUSTMENT UNIT -!- LINIVERSITV-'0F NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE AVIodells of Population and income: Economic Planning in Rural Areas 41 ANNINIZ,FPUNDATiON OP ABRICULJ K. G. Willis Li " E., ECONOMICiit THE AGRICULTURAL ADJUSTMENT UNIT THE UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE In recent years the forces of change have been reshaping the whole economy and, in the process, the economic framework of our society has been subject to pressures from which the agricultural sector of the economy is not insulated. The rate of technical advance and innovation in agriculture has increased, generating inescapable economic forces. The organisation of production and marketing, as well as the social structure, come inevitably under stress. In February 1966 the Agricultural Adjustment Unit was established within the Department of Agricultural Economics at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. This was facilitated by a grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation at Battle Creek, Michigan, U.S.A. The purpose of the Unit is to collect and disseminate information concerning the changing role of agriculture in the British and Irish economies, in the belief that a better understanding of the problems and processes ofchange can lead to a smoother, less painful and more efficient adaptation to new conditions. Publications To achieve its major aim of disseminating information the Unit will be publishing a series of pamphlets, bulletins and books covering various aspects of agricultural adjustment. These publications will arise in a number of ways. They may report on special studies carried out by individuals; they may be the result ofjoint studies; they may be the reproduction of papers prepared in a particular context, but thought to be of more general interest.
