Every year we want to enjoy it more, think about how to do something positive, spend and waste less. Let us do that this year! If you are getting a bit over excited with the Christmas spirit do not forget there is an election as well to look forward to. Do not forget an election is not just for Christmas it is for a long time afterwards when they analyse results, and politicians make deals and “consider their position” – which nowadays means applying to go on Strictly or Help, I am a Celebrity Get Me out of here. Another bumper magazine issue which means there is a lot going on. A big thankyou once again to everyone who has worked so hard over the year in the parish to keep things going. A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all of us.

I send him out with a long shopping list and he does not seem pleased at all. I sometimes think he does not care about buying special socks for auntie or the unusual soap uncle needs. We always feel Christmas starts when we get the tree set up in the corner. I like to watch Max get it dressed and set up. Max says there is an art to Christmas tree decoration. By that he means he wants to do it his way and I am pleased to let him get on with it. We have to move the chairs around to get the tree in, and Max has to sit in a corner where he cannot see the television. Strangely he does not mind at all. He misses all those soaps and dancing programmes I enjoy. He even offered to move his chair into his shed. What a kind man! My top cooking tip for this year is to braise your root veg such as carrots and parsnips. Just prepare them and put them altogether in a pan with a little oil and cover with foil and pop in the oven. They are tastier than boiling and healthier than roasting. People often ask me how to roast potatoes and I always tell them to mind their own business. I am not sharing my secret recipes! I joke. The trick is to parboil them and let them dry off before roasting. Max says Christmas is about Jesus and Him coming into our busy world. He sometimes says sensible things. It is also about recognising Him. There is a passage in the Old Testament which seems to talk about the animals in the nativity story. I do not know if it does really. Hear me, you heavens! Listen, earth! For the ’LORD’ has spoken: ‘I reared children and brought them up, but they have rebelled against me. The ox knows its master, the donkey its owner’s manger, Isaiah 1:2-4 It is about recognising God in our lives and Him coming into the world. Do have a cheerful, peaceful, good cooking Christmas. Keep in touch, Love Em __________________________________________________________________________________________________ Parish News 6 December 2019 A Link with the Past of St John’s I have been a keen philatelist since I was six years old and as a result I have become interested in Postal History and more recently in Social History associated with the people who wrote and received letters during the 18th and 19th centuries. A few weeks ago, I acquired an envelope dated 1865 (see picture attached) addressed to a – Statham at 60 Wimpole Street, Cavendish Square. The main reason I was attracted to this envelope was that it had been sent by Edward Henry Corbould , a well-known artist who was the Instructor of Historical Painting to the Royal Family from 1851 till 1871 and apart from being a celebrated artist was also a designer of stamps. When I started to research Mr. Statham I found his full name was John Lee Statham and he was a dentist married to an American Lady called Anna Brown Cook. Their marriage certificate dated 1870 stated that he was the son of Samuel Freeman Statham, a Clerk in Holy Orders. The 1871 census records indicated that he had been born in Buckinghamshire in 1828 while his baptismal certificate showed that he had been born and baptised in Stone. A google search on Samuel Freeman Statham brought up a link to the Church of St John the Baptist in Stone where a stained-glass window in his memory was installed in 1913. This window is behind the main altar and is the main focal point in the church. The photos show this magnificent window and the section with the dedication which reads: “A D M G in memory of the family of the Rev Samuel Freeman Statham for five years in charge of this Parish 1824-28 and 1834-7”. Michael Pitt-Payne __________________________________________________________________________________________________ Parish News 7 December 2019 Edward Henry Corbould Edward Henry Corbould was son of Henry Corbould and grandson of Richard Corbould, both painters. He was a pupil of Henry Sass, and a student at the Royal Academy He also prepared designs for new stamps, following in his father Henry's footsteps. The sole work attributed to Edward Henry in the Henry Corbould collection of works auctioned in London in 1919 (auction lot 813) was purchased shortly after the auction by King George V for his philatelic collection, since it was the basis of the first Mauritius stamps. In 1842 Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria, purchased Edward Henry’s ‘Woman Taken in Adultery’ (British Royal Collection), and the artist was appointed Instructor of Historical Painting to the Royal Family in 1851.

ABSTRACT OF THE CONVEYANCE AND DEED OF TRUST, for establishing Walter Scott’s charity school, in the parish of Ross, in the county of Hereford, dated 28th August, 1798.

Born in Ross in 1716 the son of a poor tradesman, Walter Scott attended the local Charity School, a Blue Coat school funded through public subscriptions and intended for the “instruction of poor boys and girls in the parish of Ross-on-Wye in the Christian Religion according to the doctrines and usages of the Church of England”. In 1785, the year before his death, Walter returned to visit Ross-on-Wye and was distressed to find his old school in a very neglected state.

  • Mrs Bikbeck's Album
    1 MRS BIRKBECK’S ALBUM: THE HAND-WRITTEN AND THE PRINTED IN EARLY NINETEENTH-CENTURY FEMININE CULTURE Patrizia Di Bello, Birkbeck On the 25th December 1826, George Birkbeck, successful doctor, busy lecturer and founder of the London Mechanics’ Institution (now Birkbeck College),1 wrote a long letter to John Britton, antiquary and lecturer on the history of architecture at the Institution. My dear Sir, In consequence of your recommendation of Mr Behnes as an artist, I gave him at some inconvenience a great number of sittings. […] In the course of his visits Mrs Birkbeck spoke of her Album, in which he undertook to induce some of his poetical friends to write and for which purpose he took the book with him […]. Subsequently Mrs Birkbeck has wanted the book, which is of some value especially as containing some contributions from her friends, and has written to him for it without effect. I have also written and received no answer, and we have sent a messenger about half a dozen times in vain, and our only hope of recovering the book rests in your kind interference, as he probably will not run the risk of losing your friendship by such obstinate conduct.2 Mrs Birkbeck recovered her album and carried on working on it into her old age. It is now a rare example of an early-nineteenth-century album to survive intact and with a well-documented provenance.3 Recently rediscovered in the archives of Birkbeck College, and now valuable especially for an unpublished manuscript poem by Mary Shelley, the album has been described as ‘a fascinating insight

EDWARDHENRY CORBOULD, R.I., of Eldon Lodge, Victoria Road, Kensington, London, b. j Dec. 181 j at No. 6, Great Coram Street, Russell Square, London, eldest son of Henry Corbould, F.S.A. (see Section IV). He was educated at the Palace School, Enfield, under Dr. htay. Following in the footsteps of his forefathers who had for three generations been well-known artists, he adopted art as a profession and became one of the most distinguished historical painters of his time. He was a pupil of Henry Sass and a student at the Royal Academy. His first original design was in water-colour, the subject being the fall of Phaeton from the Chariot of the Sun. For this design he was awarded the gold Isis medal of the Society of Arts in 1834. In the following year he was again successful, winning the same prize for a model of a chariot race as described by Homer. These designs were then exhibited at the Royal Academy. At this time he had already shewn a design from Spenser's " Faerie Queene" at the exhibition of the Society of British Artists. In I 837, Mr. Corbould joined the New Society of Painters in Water Colours, and for many years contributed works to that gallery, chiefly subjects from Chaucer, Spenser and Shakes ere.

Read in the unlikely context of a plush Christmas gift book, ‘My Aunt Margaret’s Mirror’ and ‘The Tapestried Chamber’ repay an audience familiar with the conventions of a supernatural short story.
