GROUP NEWS IS PRINTED BY: HOLLINGER Print ltd, 01603 309000 www.hollinger.co.uk 2 With thanks to Neil Hickman for the Editorial: On 14 March we shall mark Mothering Sunday. Not, please, “Mothers’ Day” – that is observed in the United States on the second Sunday in May – but Mothering Sunday, celebrated for centuries in the English church on the fourth Sunday in Lent. One character appears again and again as the story of Jesus unfolds in the New Testament – Mary, Jesus’ mother. Right at the start of Jesus’ life, he is presented in the Temple, and just after Simeon has uttered the lyrical words which we know as the Nunc Dimittis ­– “Lord now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace…” – it is Mary who Simeon addresses with the grim prophecy we find in Luke 2, 35 – “A sword shall pierce through thy own soul”. Later, when Jesus is twelve, they go to Jerusalem for Passover, and Jesus gets left behind. Joseph thinks he is with Mary, Mary thinks that he is with Joseph, and they have to make their way back to Jerusalem to find him. We don’t hear anything from Joseph, though we can guess what he will have been saying – “Stupid boy! I have orders to complete and customers waiting!” We hear the quiet voice of Mary – “Son, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing”. And after Jesus’ mysterious explanation, that “I must be about my Father’s business”, St Luke tells us that “his mother kept all these sayings in her heart”. And then when Jesus’ story reaches its terrible climax on Good Friday, we are told what becomes of the big, brave, strong men who are Jesus’ disciples – “All his disciples forsook him and fled”. And we are certainly told what becomes of Simon Peter, the Rock, denying Jesus three times before the cock crows. But St John tells us who we do find standing at the foot of the Cross, no doubt with her heart breaking just as Simeon had foretold. We find Mary. She cannot save her beloved son from the ordeal that faces him; she cannot take the burden from him, but she can stay at his side to the end while he bears it. Yes, we are right to celebrate motherhood. As Mary shows us, the love of a mother for her child, the love which, in St Paul’s words, “beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things”, is surely as near as humankind comes to the Love of God.

  • A Brief History of Garveston, Thuxton & Reymerston
    A brief history of Garveston, Thuxton & Reymerston Late Neolithic & Bronze Age 2800 BC-700 BC In the Bronze age people in this area cleared forests for fuel & farming, mined flint, kept animals, grew crops (spelt wheat, barley, flax, horse-beans, linseed) made pottery & metalwork & built henges (Arminghall is the nearest known). There is some evidence of early settlements in Garveston, Thuxton & Reymerston, where flints, axe-heads, axe- hammers, polstave, ring-ditches & barrows have been found. Nearby there is evidence of other early settlements in Grimes Graves & but also unexcavated sites at Great Melton, Ringland & Carleton Forehoe. Iron Age 700 BC - 50 AD Iron Age pottery has been found in Garveston, Thuxton & Reymerston, providing more evidence of early settlement in our villages. Wymondham & Caistor St Edmund had large settlements, known as Oppida. At this time local people still made their own pottery but there has also been finds of pottery imported from Europe. The first coins began to be used in the area from about 100BC. The iron-age tribe in Norfolk & North Suffolk was the Iceni which had different coinage & decorations to the other main tribes in East Anglia. About this time enclosed forts appear on the Norfolk landscape. Throughout Norfolk there has been many finds of iron age jewellery, weapons & coins, such as the the Snettisham Hoard, now in the British museum, but also findings at Whinburgh in 2011 and Thuxton in the 1960s. Roman Period 43 BC - 410 AD After the first Roman invasion of Britain under Julius Caesar, Roman influence increased throughout the land, with Britons trading with Romans in slaves, wine & grain.
