Sitting in my new kitchen, fresh ordained in 1991, John Betjeman’s “Summoned by Bells” was serialised each day for a week. As it did so a peal of bells sounded and the poem began. It immediately places me in a time and moment. His musical voice narrating the famous blank verse autobiography is loved by many. “Safe were those evenings of the pre-war world when firelight shone on green linoleum; I heard the church bells hollowing out the sky, deep beyond deep, like never-ending stars, and turned to Archibald, my safe old bear, whose woollen eyes looked sad or glad at me…” Not sure if everyone in Slough had quite the same view – “friendly bombs” and all that. The sound of the bells formed part of Betjeman’s world as they have done over many centuries for anyone living near a church. In medieval London, for instance, the city would have been awash with sound as each parish rang for service and the Angelus in the evening. Indeed, the ringing of rounds in parish churches is a particularly English thing and blends to make a comfortable vision together with the green hedged fields, country lanes and ladies (and gentlemen) in brogues cycling to Evensong. Long may it continue! But bells aren’t what they used to be. By which I mean we don’t communicate by bells in quite the same way as we did. As late as the 1940s the church bells were stood ready, silent, to be rung in case of invasion. But now we choose the “notification” on the phone. By such means millions of people can be contacted almost at once. The huge crowds gathered in London recently for the People’s Vote march and for the Extinction Rebellion protests weren’t summoned by bells. The teenager of the moment, Greta Thunberg, just 16 years old, autistic and famous and who has the ear of the powerful on climate change, has rallied the young not by bells. But communicate still they most certainly do. I am heartened that so very often couples wanting to be married in church almost always want the bells to ring. Why? Because the bells capture the joyful mood and they happily and traditionally publish the new marriage to all who can hear in a way other communications cannot. And the half-muffle on Good Friday captures the sadness too. And if bells communicate anything, then they communicate church – a church which says, “still here”. 3 A reminder of just how significant a church can be was demonstrated on the 15th April, as the great Cathedral of Notre-Dame in Paris was burning. As the roof blazed and the bell tower was under threat, the question was asked again, “what does this place mean to us?” What does it say? Why, when we never go to church, should this place mean so much to us? So what does a church, ringing its bells, mean to us? What does it say? What does it signify? Do we want it any more? Are we summoned by bells? What would we lose if our churches were removed? In Paris, within a very secular state, the answer seems to be a lot, even a billion euros within a few hours. That’s a lot of meaning. Let it be clear. Buildings are not more important than people. When Simeon finds the infant Jesus in the Temple, it is the baby and not the architecture that fulfils God’s solemn promise. But buildings, particularly church buildings, are a gift and not a problem. A church stands to remind us of the presence of God, a rumour of God, and therefore of an aspiration that life is dignified beyond the brokenness that we so often witness. It also silently represents a community, for over the centuries countless numbers will have shared their lives within and around its walls and the church still embodies something of the values of a community at its best. The church is also a sanctuary, a holy space, set apart for a particular reason and where prayers may be said so that however faltering our faith may be we still have a place of holiness and sanctuary which is ours. God is our birth-right and our churches remind us of our shared inheritance. Shared inheritance. Perhaps it’s above all about this. For millennia these places have borne witness to the values, hopes, faith and lives of countless people. Although muted, although widely ignored or misunderstood, a church standing in its parish does so still and remains a precious gift to us all which is still appreciated and needed. The Archbishops asked every church to ring a bell on Maundy Thursday at 7.00pm to recognise not just the fire in Paris but to reflect our shared values, humanity and faith, the bells communicating beyond the barriers of language, borders and politics. In our benefice we were glad to do so and hope we can continue to be summoned by bells for generations to come. Fr Noël Copy for the June Magazine by Monday 20th May 2019 The magazine is in church on Sunday 2nd June 2019 4 MESSAGE FROM THE BISHOP Finding the best in the world It’s Somerset day on Saturday 11th May. It is an opportunity to profile some of the delights of our county and develop relationships across our communities. It is on this day that we remember Alfred (a failed ‘Bake Off’ contestant?) taking on the Vikings from the Somerset marshes and winning, thus spawning a ‘make Somerset great again’ moment. Now, don’t get me wrong this isn’t about us in Somerset trying to prove we are better than anyone else. We have seen plenty in recent days which has sought to divide rather than unite us as a country. Rather, this is an opportunity to value the uniqueness of some of our wonderful people, places and possibilities here in Somerset and across the diocese. I do hope you will join in! See www.somersetday.com for more details. And surely that is what the Church should be about too. Celebrating all that is good, joyful and abundant in us. It reminds me of those words from Philippians 4:8… ‘Whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.’ It is so easy to get caught up with negatives, with the glass half empty syndrome, with stuff that brings us down rather than building us up. I wonder if we might make this month one where we encourage ourselves and others to find the best in the world and people around us. Live life in all its fullness! (John 10:10) Rt Rev Ruth Worsley Bishop of Taunton A BIG THANK YOU to everybody who gave Easter eggs and financial donations towards the Sisters of the Church Easter Appeal.

Then I had shared an open air housegroup day followed by communion in an open air chapel - truly wonderful! Well now last year we had three special events plus one sad funeral, that of Margaret (who was the wife of Fr Terence our assistant priest).

When I was about 10 I was called young man all the time – a sort of compliment. I was gathering myself together and becoming a grown up person. I enjoyed the title as it promised me adulthood and respect. The young man occasions then waned in the intervening years as I became “sir”.

The relationship can be quite complex. It is determined by numerous factors which need to be taken into account in planning for growth. 1.2 The purpose of this Topic Paper is to set out the evidence in terms of the settlements in North Somerset in order to identify their current function and functional relationships with other settlements. The evidence will form the basis on which a hierarchy of settlements will be established. In particular the identification of Development Policy B and C settlements set out in the draft RSS. The Paper will also consider how policies have influenced the form and function of settlements and inform any discussion of whether the current list of inset and washed over Green Belt settlements is still appropriate and whether settlement boundaries are still the appropriate planning tool for many green belt and rural settlements.

  • 170817DC Gordano Open Days 2017 Plan
    Gordano Open Days September 7-10th 2017 As part of English Heritage Open Days we have designated a collection of venues in the Gordano Valley that are architecturally and historically significant to our local community. They are referred to as Gordano Open Days. We have laid out a trail of several miles that takes our visitors through villages that are little changed from when they were agricultural societies in medieval times and through other parts of the community that were involved with the industrial revolution and with the more recent mechanized agricultural processes. We have structures that were influenced by the great inventors such as Isambard Brunel and Henry Bessemer and by architects such as Edward Gabriel. Our journey ends at the entrance to the Portishead Marina in what is now one of the fastest growing towns in Europe. It is a pleasant journey starting with historic Portbury, passing through the idyllic Gordano Valley and then along the coast road that follows the shoreline of the Severn Estuary. Having the second highest tide fall in the world the Estuary surges in and out twice daily and over the years has carved scenic bays and inlets from the rugged and rocky coastline. Sites along the way are accessible by automobile or by footpath and visitors can set their own pace or select the portions that are of personal interest. Maps will be provided explaining points of interest. We will be accommodating walking groups and cyclist and refreshment will be available at each stage. There is a mixture of serene and peaceful churches and buildings that have been remodelled with the latest modern conveniences and that are very much alive and active.

I love the changes – and the surprises. This year’s mild winter led to some remarkable early spring flowering, of bluebells, for example. Yet there was late flowering by others, in particular, hawthorn. It was cool and dry for the first half of spring (with a seeming dearth of insects) and then wet, resulting in a completely new mix of early summer blooms. It’s been all-change at the Trust, too. We said farewell to MARK CARWARDINE MARK our inspirational Chief Executive Bevis Watts, who in three years has transformed the Trust (he’s now director of the Roz Kidman Cox ethical bank Triodos but remains a stalwart supporter). Taking Trust Chair his place, arriving with equal energy, comes Ian Barrett: environmentalist, partnership-builder and, very importantly, a member. The Trust is the sum of its members – who often provide practical as well as financial support. So it’s been good to hear from you via the survey about the information you’d like more of. Top of the list is more about reserves. As a member, Ian has already visited most of the reserves, and with this magazine, you’ll find the top-ten reserves guide.

    PARSONAGE HEYS WALTON STREET, WALTON IN GORDANO, NORTH SOMERSET, BS21 7AP PARSONAGE HEYS WALTON STREET• WALTON IN GORDANO• NORTH SOMERSET BS21 7AP A compact and manageable country estate set in a delightful village location with wonderful views and extensive grounds of circa 2.92 acres. Manageable family home with outstanding amenities Two storey, four bedroom accommodation Farmhouse style kitchen Two/three reception rooms Conservatory Utility Garages, stables and stores Menage and paddocks Landscaped gardens Shepherds hut EPC Rating = F DESCRIPTION Parsonage Heys is tucked away at the head of a long gated driveway and from its commanding position enjoys the most delightful views stretching far beyond its adjacent fields to village rooftops and the wooded hillsides beyond. It is certainly rare to find such a manageable size home coupled with such generous grounds that extend to some 2.92 acres, currently subdivided into a series of paddocks and used by the current owners for the grazing of sheep and horses. It is amazing to consider that the property is such a short drive from Bristol and the motorway network yet the country lifestyle that it offers is often associated with properties in the depth of Somerset with none of the convenience that this home offers. Walton in Gordano is a pretty historic village nestling in the valley set between the popular coastal towns of Portishead and Clevedon, both of which offer a full and comprehensive range of supermarkets, local shops and well respected schooling. At the top of the driveway and adjacent to the house sits the stabling and garage building with hay and feed store to one side and there is a further field shelter with water supply in the first lower paddock.

Avium "petioles with one or two (large) glands at the top ;" and of P. Cerasus " glands on the petioles none or mounting to the lower teeth of the leaves." I am convinced, however, that no reliance can be placed on this. Perhaps the shape of the adult leaves and the suckers of P. Cerasus afford the best characters. [P. PADUS, L.

    18 Weston Big Wood Grid ref: ST 452 750. Nearest postcode: BS20 8JY Weston Big Wood is one of Avon’s largest ancient woodlands. In springtime, the ground is covered with wood anemones, violets and masses of bluebells. Plants such as herb paris and yellow archangel together with the rare purple gromwell, show that this is an ancient woodland. The wood is very good for birds, including woodpecker, nuthatch, and tawny owl. Bats also roost in the trees and there are badger setts. Directions: From B3124 Clevedon to Portishead road, turn into Valley Road. Park in the lay-by approx 250 metres on right, and walk up the hill. Steps lead into the wood from the road. Our top 20 reserves Access: Paths can be muddy, slippery and steep-sided. Please keep away from the quarry sides. 19 Weston Moor Grid ref: ST 441 741. Nearest postcode: BS20 8PZ This Gordano Valley reserve has open moorland, species-rich rhynes, wet pasture and hay meadows. It is full of many rare plants such as cotton grass, marsh pennywort and lesser butterfly orchid, along with nationally scarce invertebrates such as the hairy dragonfly and ruddy darter. During the spring and summer the fields attract lapwing, redshank and snipe. Other birds such as little owl, linnet, reed bunting and skylark also breed in the area. Sparrowhawk, buzzard and green woodpecker are regularly recorded over the reserve. Directions: Parking is restricted and the approach to the reserve is hampered by traffic on the B3124 being particularly fast-moving. When parking please do not block entrances to farms, fields or homes.

The site comprises a residential property, Breezeland, including a number of outbuildings within the rear garden. The site has pedestrian access from Down Road (to the south) and vehicular access from a track to the north. The site slopes downhill from circa 55mAOD at Down Road, to 37mAOD at the rear of the site, continuing down towards Walton Bay itself. ‘Permission in Principle’ The permission in principle consent route is an alternative way of obtaining planning permission for housing-led development, which separates the consideration of matters of principle for proposed development from the technical detail of the development. The consent route has 2 stages: the first stage (or permission in principle/PiP stage) establishes whether a site is suitable in-principle and the second stage (‘technical details consent’ - TDC) is when the detailed development proposals (and the technical planning matters) are assessed. The Guidance1 explains that the scope of PiP is limited to: 1 https://www.gov.uk/guidance/permission-in-principle Planning permission in principle application Breezeland, Walton Bay, Walton-in-Gordano • Location • Land Use • Amount The guidance explains that issues relevant to these 'in principle' matters should be considered at the PiP stage.
