Hambledon Parish Magazine, June 2018 Page 3 Reader’s Review – June

Dear all ilgrimages are growing in popularity. A few weeks ago, BBC 2 ran a series of programmes about seven celebrities walking the Way of St James to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. It so happens P that almost exactly a year ago, a friend and I walked the Camino Inglés from Ferrol in the north- west corner of Spain to Santiago. And it wasn’t just us.

We met a dog that wanted to walk to Santiago.

Let me explain. On our penultimate day, in a village called Carballeira, a small dog was waiting for us in the middle of the road, ran to greet us, tail wagging but making no noise, and proceeded to accompany us for a good five or six kilometres. Sometimes he was ahead, sometime behind, but always close. As the route left the road to turn right into a wood,he turned right and looked back to make sure we were follow- ing. When we stopped at a bar for a coffee he sat in the door, patiently waiting for us to take up our packs and move on. We were just beginning to wonder what to do about him – and what we would do if he got run over, as he displayed little road sense – when a car drew up, a man got out, the dog cowered in the road, the man grabbed him, smacked him over the nose and drove off with him, muttering imprecations. It was obvious that this was not the first time our little friend had tried to make it to Santiago, and probably not the second time either. He was a seasoned peregrino, only prevented from reaching his goal by a furious owner who had to get into the car at regular intervals and pursue his pet down the Camino.

And I was wondering how far my life is like that of the little canine. How often do I set out with enthusiasm on some quest, pursue it for a bit and then something pulls me back, distracts me and brings me back near to where I started? Fortunately for me the distraction is not usually a man who smacks me on the nose. The (metaphorical) smacking I do to myself when I realise that another one of my plans or good intentions has run into the sand.

Which brings me to a second and precious memory of our pilgrimage.

In the Cathedral of Santiago there is a side chapel. It has all the usual furnishings of a Roman Catholic chapel – an altar, candles, a statue of the Madonna – and then it has, rather incongruously, a table and two chairs arranged opposite each other.

I wondered about this when I spotted the name of the chapel, mounted on a sign on the grille:

‘CAPILLA DE LA MISERICORDIA Dejaos reconciliar con Dios’. ‘Chapel of mercy. Let us be reconciled with God.’

There in Santiago, and surely not just there but all along our pilgrimage, God sits at a table with an empty chair, waiting for us to come and have a chat. However far we have made it on our quest, however many times we have tried and failed, hauled back by our own weakness or misguided desires, he is there, longing for us to join him at the table.

God bless, Gertrud

Defibrillator and Emergency Resuscitation Course

Under the expert tuition of a doctor from St Barts, eight participants had the opportunity to learn how to A go through the DRS (danger, response, shout) and ABCD (airway, breathing, compressions, defibrillation) steps in the event of finding someone who had collapsed. We all had a chance to use the defibrillator (like the two in the village – at the Church and the Village Shop) and to practise resuscitation on a mannequin; and we came away feeling more confident in coping with such a situation. It was £20 each very well spent and the money left over, after expenses have been paid, will go to the City Life Savers charity.

St Erasmus’ mitre GOD IN THE This month the Rev. Michael Burgess has selected the mitre as one of the symbols of the Christian faith as found in works of art. It is boldly ARTS depicted in this painting of St. Erasmus whose feast day is 2 June

t Erasmus, or Elmo, is not a well-known saint but a bishop who suffered under Diocletian’s S persecution and died in 303. His symbol is a windlass, used to wind up a ship’s anchor, and his name lives on in St Elmo’s fire, the electricity around the masthead during a storm at sea. As a bishop, the saint was usually depicted not only with his own symbol but also with the signs of his episcopal position: the mitre and the staff or crosier. The mitre began life as a modest headdress. In the Middle Ages it developed into a high conical cap as a reminder of the flame of fire that alighted on each apostle’s head at Pentecost. The staff is the shepherd’s crook, guiding the sheep and guarding them from predators. When a bishop visits a church for a confir- mation or institution or special occasion, he or she will wear the mitre as a living link to the Church of the past and hold a staff as a sign of pastoral care in the present. In 1524 Matthias Grünewald painted St Erasmus with St Maurice, the two patron saints of Halle. One is a shepherd, the other a soldier; one represents Europe, the other Africa. The bishop draws our attention with his windlass, but also with his jewelled mitre and gold crosier. Yet beneath the opulent vestments is a human being, touched by God’s Spirit and commissioned to care for the sheep. Both mitre and staff point us to Jesus as the model, baptised with the Holy Spirit and shepherding the faithful. Libby Lane at her consecration as bishop in 2015 reflected those truths in her choice of the hymn Meeting of Saint Erasmus of Formiae and Saint ‘May the mind of Christ my Saviour live in me from Maurice by Matthias Grünewald. Grünewald used day to day’. It is our prayer for all who shepherd the Albert as the model for St. Erasmus. flock of the Church as bishops and pastors. The painting was commissioned by Albert (1490- dedicated to Saint Mary. On Whit Monday, 17 May 1545), the younger son of the Elector of Brandenburg, 1529, representatives of the clergy, the city council and who hailed from Saxony-Anhalt in the eastern part of church pastors gathered on the market square and Germany. Its two major cities are Magdeburg and decided to construct what is now the last great hall Halle. Albert became Archbishop of Magdeburg at church of the Upper Saxon Gothic style and one of the the age of 23. In the following year he obtained the outstanding architectural works of its days in Central Electorate of Mainz and in 1518 he was made a Germany. cardinal. To pay for the pallium of the see of Mainz Albert was also a generous patron of art and and to discharge the other expenses of his elevation, learning who adorned both the Market Church at Halle Albert had to borrow 21,000 ducats (which to-day and the cathedral at Mainz in sumptuous fashion and would probably equate to several hundred thousand collected more than 8,100 relics and 42 holy skeletons pounds, euros or dollars) from Jacob Fugger, a major known as the "Hallesches Heilthum".

A recipe for lazy cooks – it just has to be one of the easiest cakes I’ve ever made. It’s a classic all-in-one, made even easier by using oil and yoghurt instead of butter so you can even skip the creaming stage. It’s best eaten warm, on the day of baking: perfect for Mother’s Day. It’s inspired by an excellent recipe from Waitrose, with a few sneaky twists from me.

INGREDIENTS

ow many Lords of the Manor give as much consideration to their franklins and serfs as H Stephen Dean gives to all of us in Hambledon who love to walk? For several years the bridle path leading from Moor Cottage to Busses Cottage has been getting muddier and muddier as it approaches Busses Common. So Stephen has just created a by- pass – you can almost walk it in sandals! It’s now up to all of us to keep it that way – which shouldn’t be difficult so long as riders continue to use the “proper” route, ie the bridle path. Hence the bridge at the start of the path (pictured), which should be too narrow for any self-respecting horse to attempt to cross.

Fundraising for the Gertrude Jekyll Surrey Archive Digitisation Project

Gertrude Jekyll is an internationally acclaimed garden designer who lived much of her life in Surrey and we have an extraordinary legacy of her work here in the county. 2018 marks the 175 th anniversary of her birth.

Her early years were spent at Munstead House, Busbridge and then, in collaboration with the young architect Edwin Lutyen, she designed and built Munstead Wood, completed in 1897 and her home until her death in 1932. This was a successful working collaboration which was to last for the remainder of her life.

It was not until she was in her early forties that she turned professionally to gardening, garden design and writing, producing over 1,300 articles on all aspects of gardening and 14 full length books such as Wood and Garden , Home and Garden and Colour in the Flower Garden – all as readable today as they were when published over 100 years ago.

It is believed that Miss Jekyll was consulted on approximately 400 gardens and much of this legacy of work, including documents relating to 86 Surrey gardens, is in the USA. For many years, the drawings were part of the archive and library of the American garden designer Beatrix Farrand and her husband Max at their home in Reef Point, Bar Harbor, in Maine. On their deaths, the Reef Point Collection was dispersed and Miss Jekyll’s papers were despatched to what are now the Environmental Design Archives at the University of California, Berkeley where they remain today.

Until now, the drawings have only been available on microfilm or at Godalming Museum where hard copies from the microfilms may be viewed, a project for which funding was provided by Surrey Gardens Trust and the Hamamelis Trust in 2000. Michael Edwards, architect and member of Surrey Gardens Trust, has, over many years, attempted to persuade the University to agree to digitise all the Jekyll material at Berkeley so that it can be both preserved and made available for worldwide research and it was decided to start with the sites in Surrey. Surrey Gardens Trust has agreed to deal with the financial aspects of fundraising and a considerable amount has already been raised towards the estimated total of £17,000 for this project. At the current time, we need to find approximately £4,000 more to complete the digitisation of the Surrey material.

It is impossible in a short piece to give more than a glimpse of this collection. This is a hugely important conservation project to make available Gertrude Jekyll’s internationally significant Surrey Archive, allowing worldwide free access at a high definition in colour and revealing its treasures to all.

History is made at St Peter’s: after the Annual Parochial Church Meeting on 29 April an august reception party awaited Mary Parker as she was driven up by George Pitt in his 1926 Humber motor car which has the same birthday as HM Queen Elizabeth

fter the APCM the Union Jack was flying for the opening of the new car park on a piece of A land so generously given by Mary Parker. Hard work followed by Richard and Liz Cooke and Alan Harvey to seed it and by Peter Woolley of Surrey Hills Home & Garden Services to lay matting to allow the grass to grow and maintain its rural appearance. Mary’s arrival, driven by George Pitt in his vintage 1926 Humber 12-25 saloon, was greeted by a welcoming party of the congregation. Mary alighted, helped by Jeremy Hunt MP with his family. Jeremy said a few words, called for three cheers for Mary and the success of the car park and, joined by Rector Simon Taylor, Richard Cook and Bryan Silletti with baby Abigail, cut the tape before George drove Mary, Jeremy and Simon onto the new car park.

Maze Word Search You may know the song ‘Day by Day’ the folk-rock ballad from the musical Godspell : Day by day, day by day, Oh dear Lord, three things I pray: to see thee more clearly, love thee more dearly, follow thee more nearly, day by day. Did you know that it is based on the prayer of Richard of Chichester, a 13th century bishop? Greatly loved, he was charitable and accessible, both stern and merciful to sinners, generous to those stricken by famine, and brilliant legislator of his diocese. He decreed that the sacraments were to be adminis- tered without payment, the clergy to be chaste, and the laity attend Mass on Sundays and holy days. Prominent in preaching the Crusade, Richard saw it as a call to reopen the Holy Land to pilgrims, not as a political expedition. He died in 1253. In art, Richard of Chichester is represented with a chalice at his feet, in memory of his having once dropped the chalice at Mass! Sudoku
