BISHOP BURTON NEWS SEPTEMBER 2016

Jack Byass at Raikes Farm - 1922

Two Hundred And Eighty Third Edition

Front Cover I found this photograph in the archives and written below it said J.B. 1922 Raikes Farm. I checked with the Byass family and indeed it is of Jack Byass, father, grandfather, and Great grandfather (depending on which generation you are) of the family that now farm at The Grange. All the farms belonged to Estate in those days, so they were all tenant farmers until the estate was broken up in 1964, when they were able to buy their farms. Heavy horses were essential in each farm before mechanisation. They were needed for pulling machinery and fetching and carrying absolutely everything. Each farm needed quite extensive stables to accommodate them and man-power to groom, feed and water these gentle-giants. Jack Byass would be 23 years old when this photograph was taken. He used to 'show' heavy-horses at different horse shows. He and the two wonderful horses are all smartly turned out, obviously in preparation for a show, when this photograph was taken.

Firstly I would like to thank the late Events Committee for the donation they gave last month to the Bishop Burton News. This is greatly appreciated as last year we bought a printer which made a bit of a hole in our bank balance. However this printer makes life much easier for the News team as it prints on both sides of the paper and collates so all we have to do is staple, fold and bag up for our delivery team! We rely on the Parish Council for their grant which does not cover all our expenses so donations are always gratefully received. Our Treasurer is Margaret Oxtoby at Park End Farm, Finkle Street; cheques payable to Bishop Burton News. We are delighted to learn that Hilary Swann has not left us and has moved into a cottage in the village. Hilary has given great service to the village having served on the Parish Council for many years and also as Church Warden. The Swanns have a long history of residing in Bishop Burton. As one who delivers and posts more copies of the BB News than anyone else we too have a strong reason of not wanting her to leave us! Hilary, we send you our best wishes. Can we please have your articles for the November Edition before 23rd October 2016 – they will be gratefully received Editor Susan Leeding – 01964 551277 – [email protected] A MESSAGE FROM RUTH As I am writing this message the Rio Olympics are in full swing, so far we have one gold medal and we are 11th in the table. By the time you read this the event will be but a memory with most of our athletes having returned home and enjoying a well-earned rest before they start their gruelling training programme again. The Olympic Games took place in Greece every 4 years without interruption from 776BC to AD393 and the New Testament part of the Bible has many references where the writer uses the imagery of athletics to encourage Christians to keep on going with Jesus.

 Saint Paul encourages us to “Run in such a way that you may win it (the prize). Athletes exercise self-control in all things; they do it to receive a perishable garland, but we and imperishable one’. (1 Corinthians 9:24-25)  He challenges us to follow his example – “forgetting what is behind and straining forwards to lies ahead, I press on towards the goal for the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus’. (Philippians 3:13-14)  The writer of Hebrews urges “let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith”. (Hebrews 12:1-2)

[2]

The early Christians would have understood these athletic images and the writers used them in their teaching about how to think more about God. They are saying that when you see athletes run, think about another kind of running, running the Christian race with perseverance and effort. When you see athletes smiling with a gold medal, think about another kind of prize, the prize of heaven, of being in God’s perfect new world. And the big question for us to consider during the Olympics is this: are we living for Jesus with Olympic passion and perseverance? It’s been said that: “the determination of the athlete frequently puts to shame the half-hearted, casual nature of much Christian discipleship”. So if you’re a Christian reading this I hope that you will find time to think how you are running the Christian race. Perhaps plan to make time to read the Bible, to spend time with God in prayer, make time to reflect on the areas of life you need to change in order to be living more in line with the way being made in God’s image implies. If you’re not a Christian, can I encourage you to take time to find out more of the Christian faith? September 18th is national ‘Back to Church Sunday’, why not think about coming to the service at All Saints which starts and 11.00 a.m where you will find companionship and be able to ask about the claim of Jesus to be God himself, who came to earth and died for us. So I hope that you have enjoyed the Olympics and that you will also enjoy the Paralympics which start on September 7th and can I encourage you to begin or keep going on in the Christian race. Every blessing Ruth Newton Assistant Priest

ALL SAINTS CHURCH Dear Friends, This year my husband and I spent our two week summer holiday taking our new touring caravan to Scotland, where we visited Aberdeen, Inverness and Glenrothes. We enjoyed the freedom of caravanning and the spacious, well-kept sites, and of course enjoyed discovering those places which were new to us. Everybody has asked us two things: weather and midges..?! Both not bad, thankfully. Whilst on holiday we made two sorts of journeys. The first was towing the caravan on unfamiliar roads and trusting the satnav to get us there – except when we’d been warned that the roads were too narrow for the caravan, then my husband had to trust me as map-reader! The second sort of journey was when we went on walks. Over half way along the walk on the cliff edge by the sea, as it started to drizzle, the path appeared to run out…the guide book just said that the path might appear to run out but stick close to the fence and all would be well! We are all on the journey of life and sometimes find ourselves going down unfamiliar paths, some that were unexpected but others that are unavoidable and maybe not welcome. Sometimes we find ourselves having to trust others to help us along – perhaps if we’re suddenly feeling vulnerable or facing something momentous. At other times it may not be obvious where we’re going and we need to follow something familiar to get us through. If we are people of faith in God, sometimes we realise that this gives us a sense of security despite being on an unknown path; although not necessarily – spiritual writers often speak of the discoveries made about oneself when experiencing an unwelcome sense of desertion. Wherever you have been this summer, may it have been a place of discovery, whether you were on a well-known or unexpected path in your journey of life. Especially if you have received good or challenging news that will affect your life choices or circumstances, may you know where to find guidance and reassurance from those you can trust to help you through. Best wishes, Rachel Young

FOASBB COMMUNICATION UPDATE Well, here we are again with an exciting update from the Friends of All Saints’ Bishop Burton. There has been a bit of peace and quiet since the barn dance, I think we all needed it! So, we have some pleasing news to report, we currently have almost 50 members. We are in the process of sending personalised thank you letters to you all. To date, from membership, donations and profit from the events held so far, we are very proud to announce that we have raised in excess of £5,000 towards the ‘kitchen and loo’ project. We anticipate raising around £7,500 towards the total cost of approximately £40,000 with the remainder being made up by grants and a significant contribution from the Church itself. The architectural plans are currently being drawn up, with the Church hoping to commence works in early 2017. The FOASBB committee are experiencing a little change, so to keep you all updated, the committee would like to thank Steven Ersser for his role of Chairman. Steven has steered the committee for the past 12 months, but has handed the baton to Rowland Bridgewater as he is due to leave the village in the near future. Rowland will take over as Chairman with immediate effect, after a vote of confidence from the committee members. That does leave a vacancy on the FOASBB committee, so if you

[4] would like to join us, please submit your expressions of interest to Rowland via the email account: [email protected] Last but not least…we have planned a new event that we would love to welcome friends and family to. Please note the date of 22nd October in your diary and look out around the village for posters and tickets. Once the building plans are finalised, we will be seeking some publicity to try and secure additional donations and memberships from local businesses. If you know of anybody who would like to be involved with the Friends, please do let us know. We do now have a ‘Mydonate’ account set up, this will be in use soon for donations from any sponsored events etc. FOASBB Committee: Chairman: Rowland Bridgewater, Deputy Chairman: Jack Wray, Secretary: Bryn Jones, Communications: Rebecca Chester, Village Hall Liaison: Jan Biden/Margaret Hebb, PCC Liaison: Rev Rachel Young/Sue Thomas, Finance: Nigel Penton Rebecca Chester Communications Member

BISHOP BURTON COLLEGE Freshers Week will begin on the 12th September at the college and there will be a Ball which could entail more noise than usual in the village. Editor WELCOME TO BISHOP BURTON To Keith and Adele Richards we extend a warm welcome and hope your move into Garth End Cottage went smoothly. To Philip and Amanda Bashford who have moved into Hopper Close we wish you much happiness in your new home. And to Adam, Leigh Ereira and their two daughters, Darcy and Georgiana who have moved into Calais Farm welcome. We look forward to seeing you all at future events in the village although we have already met Amanda when she came to help paint the walls in the village hall. How she had time after just moving in I will never know but her help was greatly appreciated. Editor PAINT AND TRIM THE VILLAGE HALL- THANK YOU Thank you to everyone who helped spruce up the Village Hall. A great deal was accomplished. Outside the shrubs have been trimmed and look great, and inside, the bottom of the main hall has now been painted in a colour that matches the chairs and the cinema curtains and looks very swish. Afterwards a nice leisurely BBQ was enjoyed by all in what turned out to be quiet barmy evening. Once again thanks to everyone for their hard work and to Jan for providing the scrummy cakes.

BISHOP BURTON COUNTRY FRIENDS July – Annual Outing. About twenty ladies and two very brave men enjoyed a lovely day out in . Our first stop was in the Old Town, with a visit to the very beautiful Priory Church, followed by a tour of the nearby Bail Museum, where exhibits included war-time memorabilia. Then a stroll down the high street, where shop windows were still as they had been dressed for the filming of ‘Dad’s Army’. It was then time for refreshments at a very nice vintage tea room. Slightly behind schedule, we made our way to Sewerby Hall where members were free to explore the beautiful house and gardens, before eventually boarding the land-train which took us to where the coach was waiting. Finally we reached Driffield where Stuarts Fish Restaurant served a delicious fish supper. A good time was had by all!

It was confirmed that from the village perspective it had been a great success as villagers were able to freely go about their business and should an emergency vehicle had needed to gain access it could have done. The Cllr’s present confirmed that village intended to do the same in 2017, and agreed that it would be clear that the action was by villagers and not the college; Anti-social behaviour – during the year there have been a number of instances of various forms of anti-social behaviour.

They encouraged anyone seeing such behaviour to get a picture of those involved and let the college know.

Location: Dog Kennel Pasture, Dog Kennel Lane, Bishop Burton, , , HU17 7RG. Applicant: Ms Karen Birbeck. It was unanimously Resolved that the above application be approved.

06.1090 Any other business a) Cameras on A1079 – The clerk reported that she had heard nothing from ERYC despite repeated messages. Resolved. Clerk to continue to chase.

HEDGES IN THE VILLAGE It has come to the Parish Council’s attention that there are a number of hedges in the village next to footpaths and road junctions that are currently overgrown and thereby restricting the ability of cars and pedestrians to see around the junction corners and the ability of pedestrians, including those with buggies/pushchairs and wheelchair users, to safely walk on the pavements. If you own one of these hedges the Parish Council respectfully request that you ensure that your hedge is kept trimmed such that all pavement users are able to access the pavements and all road users and pedestrians have clear visibility around corners. Many thanks for your co-operation in this matter. BISHOP BURTON PARISH COUNCIL

DON’T SWALLOW UP YOUR NHS Drugs like paracetamol can cost up to three times more on prescription than from a supermarket. Please, buy them over the counter for pennies instead. Last year East Riding of Yorkshire NHS spent over £500,000 on dispensing painkillers alone. Painkillers such as paracetamol are widely available in supermarkets and local chemists and cost around 1p per tablet compared to 3p per tablet on the NHS. This is why, when you only need them now and again, it is better to buy over the counter for pennies instead. eastridingofyorkshireccg.nhs.
