A parish community is a very special place where people come together to live out their faith initiated at Baptism, to receive the Sacraments, to have a deeper awareness of what their faith means in their lives and live out the Gospel message of Christ. As a parish family, together with the priest we share in the joys and sorrows of life and hopefully support each other when difficulties arise. This parish from its humble beginnings has built up a rich tapestry of faith which has influenced the wider village community in many ways. The following pages give us glimpse of parish life in days gone by and the people past and present who have made such a valuable contribution to its mission. I would like to pay tribute to all the fine priests that have served this parish and have gone before us. Their hard work and dedication has been outstanding. May the Lord reward these good and faithful servants.

When I first learned of the founding of the Catholic Archives Society I felt a sense of deep relief, as many must have done. Every now and then one had heard of the irreparable loss of Catholic documents and wondered what future generations would think of us for allowing such things to happen. Mgr. Philip Hughes once stated that more than one third of the Catholic papers listed in the last century by the Historical Manuscripts Commission had been lost by the time he became archivist at Westminster. Lately, indeed, something has been done to avert further losses. The valuable papers of the Old Brotherhood still remaining have been gathered and bound and deposited for safe-keeping. A number of dioceses are now placing their records on permanent loan in county record offices established since the last war.

God has loved Fr Mike Maguire Assistant Priest us so much that in our fallen humanity He has rescued us Sharon Bowden Administrator from what makes us miserable in sin, suffering and death and Mike Guthrie Seminarian so transformed us in the death and Resurrection of Jesus that Fr Michael writes: He even calls us to share His own eternal joy. Today, What a wonderful conflation of richness and confluence of Pentecost, is the birthday of the Church when the same Holy grace and glory today, 31st May, presents. Principally it is Spirit Who, in the words of the Creed, “proceeds from the Pentecost, of course, the birthday of the Church, the celestial Father and the Son”, is given to us to make us alive together and divine fruit of the Paschal Mystery of the Passion, death in Christ. We become “one Body, one Spirit in Christ” as and Resurrection of Jesus, Son of God, Word made flesh. the Eucharistic Prayer teaches us also in Mass. Little wonder But today, too, has an echo of the Feast which 31st May then that we should celebrate and even dance with the angels usually is, the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary to St with whom we rejoice now on earth and will do so forever Elizabeth.

    RUSHCLIFFE SCOUT DISTRICT News Views a d Volume 3 Number 3 n Easter 2012 Editorial Welcome to the Easter edition of News and Views and may I wish all our readers a very happy Easter. Not a lot to offer in this edition but I have managed to put twelve pages together. I would like to thank all of you who submitted their articles. The District is still growing since Jock took over 4 years ago. On a sad note we all said our goodbyes to Gooders both at the crematorium and at St. Giles, he was a great Scouter with almost 40 years service in the District and will be sadly missed by everyone in the District. My thanks go to Ron Shepherd for helping me put my badges on my shirt in the right places hopefully. And again to reiterate my words have a happy Easter. Looking forward to seeing you at the Forest ground for St. George’s Day Parade and Service, and let us all follow Gooders example and “Look Wide” and keep on trekking. Your Editor Ron Berrington The D.C.’s Spot March is half way through, is it Christmas yet?. The months seem to fly by. We’ve seen growth this last year, up 11%.,We have opened a New Group at the 11th.,Sutton Bonington opened an Explorer Unit, found more leaders, and in Dave Goodrum lost a good one. But Rushcliffe, like life, carries on. Our Leaders continue to provide excellent Scouting and efforts pay off. Most groups have grown in numbers, a few groups like Meadow Covert, Langar, Cropwell, Ruddington & WB Explorers for example have found grants, councillors and other agencies to help out with various projects and camps.

  • Local History 2015
    LOCAL HISTORY 2015 JANUARY 2015: THE NOTTINGHAM RIOTS We explored the topic: Nottingham Riots! Or as one writer put it - "We really don't like being told what to do". Nottingham has a long history of rebellion. It is more than likely that Notts people took part in the Peasant's Revolt of 1381. The forests (the greenwood) were the hideout of outlaws - criminals, professional poachers, landless labourers and unemployed soldiers discharged from the French wars. Although later balladeers placed Robin Hood over 150 years earlier in the reign of Richard 1 and Prince John, the first stories actually evolved within living memory of the Peasant's Revolt. From Lollards to Diggers (the True Levellers), and through supporting the Parliamentarians during the Civil War, Nottingham gradually gained a reputation for radical thought and riotous behaviour. But it was during the 18th and 19th centuries with the town authorities in favour of reform, that riots became almost an annual event. As the Industrial Revolution gained pace, Nottingham became overcrowded and living conditions were squalid. Wages were low and there was intense poverty. Have you heard about the Great Cheese Riot in 1766? Large cheeses were snatched at the Goose Fair and rolled away, bowling over the Mayor in the process! From 1779 the Notts framework knitters began to rebel, culminating in the Luddites from 1811 to 1816 smashing hundreds of frames in the area. There were often daily marches through the city pleading for bread. Military intervention throughout led to many deaths and severe woundings. Then of course came the Big One - after the failure of the Reform Bill in 1831, 9000 city residents trashed Colwick Hall and burned down Nottingham Castle (or more accurately the manor house of the hated 4th Duke of Newcastle) and a silk mill in Beeston.
