  • The Barrington Papers the Barrington Papers
    The Barrington Papers The Barrington Papers Delia Barrington’s notes on Binegar’s history 1 The Barrington Papers Introduction to Delia Barrington, 1912-1991 Delia Barrington (née Parker) was born in 1912 in Kensington, London and the family then moved to Ealing where she spent the early years of her life. She was of Huguenot descent through her father's side of the family and a member of the Huguenot Society of London for most of her life. Sometime between 1934 and '37, when she was in her mid-twenties, she enjoyed working, along with a number of other volunteers, for the archaeologist Sir Mortimer Wheeler who was excavating the site of the Iron Age Hill Fort at Maiden Castle in Dorset. This was the start of her interest in archaeology and a development of her interest and involvement in local history: something that was to remain with her throughout her life. She joined the Women's Land Army during the Second World War, working on a farm in Buckinghamshire. The hours were long and the work hard but she found it rewarding and made many friends. In 1941, she met the chauffeur of exiled King Zog of Albania who was living nearby. The story goes that she was courted by him, not with flowers but with kippers, which were left for her by the farm gates! These tactics were obviously successful because at the end of the war she and the chauffeur (William Barrington) were married. In the late 1940s, Delia and William went to Holsworthy in Devon where they ran a farm together but after a few years decided that it was not the life for them and they moved to Bristol where William was employed, once again, as a chauffeur until his retirement.

St. Swithin’s Day, (July 15), a day on which, according to folklore, the weather for a subsequent period is dictated. In popular belief, if it rains on St. Swithin’s Day, it will rain for 40 days, but if it is fair, 40 days of fair weather will follow. St. Swithin was Bishop of Winchester from 852 to 862. At his request he was buried in the churchyard, where rain and the steps of passers by might fall on his grave. According to legend, after his body was moved inside the cathedral on July 15, 971, a great storm ensued. The first textual evidence for the weather prophecy appears to have come from a 13th- or 14th-century entry in a manuscript at Emmanuel College, Cambridge. You can find lots more history about him, but he is perhaps one of the more commonly heard of saints, even if its only the legend about the weather.

  • Issue 264 June 2020
    Issue 264 June 2020 Dates for your Diary Note from the editor It is very strange putting this magazine together as each month the last thing I do is scroll through each entry and list all the things that are due to happen in our villages. Sadly it may be some time yet before this page is full. Not living in the centre of Stoke and being in that 70+ age bracket I have not seen all that has been happening, only heard about the many volunteers and schemes to help that have banded together to give so much needed support in these difficult times. I hope that next month the magazine will be a paper edition, and that our distributors, several of whom are also 70+, will feel able to deliver it to your door. Please keep sending in your articles and stay safe and well. Jane Evans 2 The Rectory, High Street, Nunney, Frome BA11 4LZ Tel: 01373 837337 From the Rectory As we are all too well aware, uncertainty about the length of the present ‘Lockdown’ has meant that many plans for family celebrations, holidays etc. have been cancelled or put on hold. In many ways, some of which we cannot yet predict, we are facing a very uncertain future. Last Sunday, the Church celebrated Pentecost (Whit Sunday), the coming of the Holy Spirit with power and the assurance that, if Jesus had left this earthly life, yet God was with the disciples. They could not prepare for this event: all they could do was pray and wait.

    The Beacon Ashwick, Oakhill & Binegar News MARCH 2021 Cover photo: © John Law Church Services – March 2021 We continue to keep our church buildings closed for in-person worship. Keep an eye out for next month’s edition of The Beacon for updates about Easter. Until then, we are introducing some variety as to how we enable worship. A small group of people have enjoyed Zoom services for some time but though we have limited resources we are trying some Live Stream and pre-recorded services now too. This way more people can find something to help with worship at home. We share updates on Facebook and use YouTube too. Our Instagram is limited but also a way to find some information. There is a weekly newsletter that you can sign up to from our website which tells you what is happening each week. Please visit www.beacontrinity.church or: Follow us on Instagram! facebook.com/beacontrinity instagram.com/beacontrinity Daffodils are also known as Lent Lilies View from the Hill February 17th was Ash Wednesday and the start of Lent. Traditionally Christians fast during Lent but this year it seems that everyone has had to give up so much already so how do we live Lent in Lockdown. I’ve always liked to try and take something up for Lent, something that is honouring to God and is in some way a sacrifice for me, maybe of time. This year I have had a renewed focus, at least in my head, of how we care for the environment. Many speak of the global climate crisis and I feel that due to the pandemic this has not had the coverage we would expect.
