Tempsford Times, I Said That the Hall Was Still Open, Although Under Some Restrictions Because Central Beds Was in Tier 2 TEMPSFORD Issue 86 TIMES March/April 2021 The village magazine of Tempsford, Bedfordshire www.tempsford.org SIGNS OF TIMES WHEN WE CAN ALL COME OUT TO PLAY www.tempsford.org TEMPSFORD PARISH COUNCIL CONTACT DETAILS NAME POSITION Adrian Besant Chairman Simon Fraser V-Chairman Chris Bettles Councillor Steve Cooney Councillor Jim Donnelly Councillor Tina Goddard Councillor David Sutton Councillor Linda Collins Clerk CENTRAL BEDFORDSHIRE WARD COUNCILLORS Contact details: Adam Zerny [email protected] Tracey Wye [email protected] JOE LAWRENCE AND THE COLLECTED RUBBISH (see page 17) www.tempsford.org 2 PARISH COUNCIL CONCERNS FLOODS The continual heavy rain we have had over the last few weeks has caused a lot of standing water in the fields as the water table rose, and the Ivel and Gt Ouse poured lots more water onto the surrounding fields. The Parish Council is concerned about how the sewers and drains are coping with all this water, and has held discussions with Anglian Water, Central Beds Council and Moggerhanger Parish Council with a view to improving the drainage system. We don’t want a repetition of the problems we had over Christmas 2012. RUBBISH We are having phone calls about discarded tools and household items left around the streets plus the amount of litter along the paths and hedges. Thankfully we have several community-minded residents who regularly go litter picking. (see opposite and p17) A428/BLACK CAT and EAST WEST RAIL CONSULTATIONS Please note that both of these major projects in our area are holding further public consultations about their plans and activities. We would encourage everyone to be prepared to respond to these as soon as they are announced so that our voice can be heard in the construction of these projects. (see articles later in this edition) ROAD WORKS Several minor road repairs or alterations to our parish roads are due to take place in the next few weeks. Please be aware that there will be some one way traffic areas and to take care when passing them. PLANNING APPLICATIONS Recent planning applications for investigative archaeological work in the fields beyond the railway line have been lodged. The Parish Council made representation about the amount of traffic that this might cause. Again, please be aware that this may be a problem at peak hours. GARDEN WASTE (green bins) collections restart on Friday 5th March www.tempsford.org 3 A428 Black Cat to Caxton Gibbet improvements What’s happening now? This scheme is a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP), which means it’s classed as a large, complex infrastructure project that benefits the entire country. To build the scheme, we need to seek permission through a special planning process and gain a Development Consent Order (DCO) from the Planning Inspectorate. We consulted on the scheme in 2019 and in summer 2020. As a result of your feedback, we’re currently making any necessary changes to our proposals. We plan to submit our Development Consent Order application at the end of February 2021. We intend to hold the next Community Forum meeting following the submission of our application and we’ll be in touch soon with a date for this. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

John was born at what was affectionately known as ‘Aunt Lot’s Cottage’ in Bakers Lane, to Walter and Annie Jackson, the youngest of six children with brothers Arthur and Ken and sisters, Ruby, Doris and Olive. John went to school in the village and on leaving school went to work on a local farm. During the Second World War John joined the navy and served on HMS Arethusa. The ship had a distinguished career fighting in Norway and in the Mediterranean and also led the bombarding forces on D-Day. The ship also took the King to Normandy on 16th June 1944. John was awarded many medals and in 2016 was awarded the Legion d’Honneur by the French government for his services. (photo on next page) It was shortly after he was demobbed and on a visit to the cinema in St Neots with his friend Ron Moore that he met Mabel, while waiting in the queue to get in. She was there with her cousin Phyllis Ball and soon two relationships were formed with both couples going on to get married. John and Mabel were married at Roxton church on 30th June 1951, (Continued overleaf) with the reception www.tempsford.org 5 held at the Wheatsheaf in Tempsford. They initially lived with John’s parents at 93 Station Road before moving to number 84 when their first son Brian was born in 1952. A second son, Alan, was born in 1960. The couple were to remain at number 84 until August 2020, when Mabel in particular was finding it difficult to manage the stairs and so they moved to a retirement apartment in Sandy. Following his return from the Navy he returned to farm work but later joined his brother Ken to become a bus driver, initially for Eastern Counties which was later taken over by Stagecoach. He was a regular on the Bedford to Cambridge route as well as in Bedford town centre. He retired in 1990 after over 30 year’s Aged 21in 1946 service. John had always enjoyed gardening and much of his retirement was spent tending his garden. In particular he enjoyed growing vegetables, usually far more than the family needed and any surplus was always distributed amongst friends and neighbours in the village. He also liked to grow roses and fuchsias. John enjoyed entering his produce in the Tempsford show and usually managed to win a few prizes. He won the cup for the best kept hedge in Tempsford for many years, so much so that the Beaumont family who gave the original cup had another one www.tempsford.org 6 made for John to keep in perpetuity. When the Tempsford Museum and Archive was opened at the Stuart Memorial Hall in 2013, John was very pleased to be asked to perform the opening ceremony as the oldest Tempsford male resident in the village, along with the oldest female resident, his sister-in -law Peggy Jackson. He continued to be a regular visitor to the Museum until the recent closure due to the Covid restrictions. John was also a staunch supporter of the Tempsford Methodist Chapel and was also a regular at the Chat Club and Meet and Eat. John will be sadly missed by his family and many friends in Tempsford. It is hoped that a memorial service can be held at the Methodist Chapel once the current restrictions allow. Mabel, Brian, Alan and the family would like to express their sincere thanks for the many cards and kind words of sympathy received by their many friends and family. Alan Jackson www.tempsford.org 7 ST PETER’S PARISH CHURCH, Church Street, Tempsford Priest in Charge: Rev Graham Buckle The Rectory, Park Lane, Blunham 01767 640412 We have the technology I have a deep hope that we will be back in our church buildings by the time we reach the greatest festival in the church’s year; Easter. It will enhance the experience of Easter so much more if we are able to greet one another in person, rather than across the internet or any other sort of media. As someone has said to me, “What would we have done without the technology?” I’m sure some of you will have appreciated being able to communicate and see loved ones around the world over “Whats App” and other platforms. Likewise, our Zoom services are regularly reaching people overseas, and although we cannot tell, I suspect that people have seen our recorded services on “YouTube” in far flung places! Communication has and continues to play a very important part in our world today, whether that it is for speaking to family and friends, booking appointments for our vaccine, or hearing what is happening around the world. Like everything, it has its downside; people using technology to defraud and steal from others, and more recently to circulate fake news. And to that effect we have to be very vigilant, and on our guard. I think the good outweighs the bad, and we can give thanks for the ability we have to make connections with family, friends and the news across the world. www.tempsford.org 8 As we come to the celebration of Easter, I hope that we can make the connection of what Jesus Christ did for each and every one of us through His death and resurrection. In the days when this event happened, communication was mainly by word of mouth, so I find it amazing how quickly word spread about Jesus, His miracles, words and ultimately His death and resurrection. Imagine now what we have the ability to do with the wonders of the technology that we have at our fingertips, the ways we can reach people’s hearts and minds with the good news that Jesus has died, risen from the dead, encouraging us to live a life worthy of His example. May we discover His truths, and use the many ways at our disposal transmitting that message to all! With Christian love Rev Graham ST PETER’S FLOODLIGHTS If you would like the flood lights put on for any occasion, the cost will be £10 per night, please contact Gloria on 01767 640050 www.tempsford.org 9 Notices St Peters Church will be Open This Wednesday from 10am till 11am for private prayer.

  • Fig. 1 Designated Heritage Assets
    Fig. 1 Designated heritage assets 5 660975 Land at Tempsford, Central Bedfordshire – Heritage Appraisal ©Cotswold Archaeology The Grade II Listed Gibraltar Farm Barn (Fig. 3, 35) 2.5. This Grade II Listed Building is situated within the south-eastern corner of the Site, set within an area of open green space within the former Tempsford Airfield. The Listed Building comprises a barn of early 19th century date which was modified during the mid-20th century. The building is constructed on a concrete plinth (presumably of 20th-century date) and has brick-lined and weather-boarded walls set under a pitched old tile roof. The barn is of a 5-bay plan with a central threshing entrance which is blocked to the west with crittal windows set within the blocked western opening and also set into the barn’s gable ends. The roof of the barn is constructed of four trusses with tie beams and slightly curved braces to the walls and raking struts clasped to single rows of purlins with collars. The barn was later adapted and used to store flight equipment for the Special Operations Executive agents during World War II. Within the interior are concrete racks with brick partitions, set around the perimeter of the barn which were used to store the flight equipment. 2.6. The barn is the only extant element of Gibraltar Farm which is depicted on cartographic sources dating to 1817. Its significance primarily derives from its historic and associative values with the Listing description stating that it is ‘Listed for its historic interest and as a memorial to the Special Operations Executive agents who were kitted out from this barn before flying from the adjacent runway to missions in occupied Europe’.
