They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. November At the going down of the sun and in the morning 2020 We will remember them. I have heard these words every November for as long as I can remember. I was in the Boy’s Brigade as a youth and we were always involved in a church parade on Remembrance Sunday, either in our local parish church or, sometimes the many different BB Mid-Eden companies from across Belfast would gather for a parade in the city centre, often ending up at St Anne’s Cathedral, Belfast for a service Magazine of Remembrance alongside current members of the armed services, with news police, fire brigade & ambulance teams as well, of course, with the from the veterans who served in past conflicts. Belfast in the 1970’s & 80’s Parishes of was still living in a time of conflict so many of the services The represented had recent memory of loss. Group When the challenges are still there and the risk of losing a colleague or friend through an act of terrorism is a reality the act of remembering is important. Thankfully the conflict in Northern Ireland is virtually a thing of the past and many young people alive today never lived through the experiences of my generation. This is why the act of Remembrance is vitally important. The generations who fought in both World Wars are either no longer with us or reaching the stage in life were it is becoming difficult to share their experiences. We have so much to thank those generations of service personnel and their families for all they lived through and died for. Bodies will grow old but the memory should stay fresh. No one should want to return to a world that lived through the catastrophe of those conflicts, no one should have to live through any period of conflict, but people do. These may not be on our shores but they do still exist in 2020. Jesus calls us to be peacemakers in Matthew’s gospel. This, of course, is not always easy, especially if someone is being aggressive to you. Our forces during WW1 & WW2 went into each conflict with a desire to defend the vulnerable and to prevent the aggressor from Sponsored by ______reaching our shores.

CHARGES WAIVED - UPDATE FROM THE MEMO COMMITTEE.

In March, the committee looked at how The MEMO could continue safely in light of the Covid pandemic. Door to door deliveries were suspended, and printed copies left at shops in Langwathby and Melmerby and an online copy created at www.midedenmemo.org.uk and on Facebook. Thanks to a small surplus, we were also able to suspend our charges for advertising – a small help to our communities.

The committee decided to review these decisions after six months and after careful consideration of finances and feedback the committee have agreed to continue this approach until March 2021. We would like to thank the individuals and businesses who have been able to donate to The MEMO. Our ability to support our communities and local businesses by waiving charges will continue to be dependent on these donations. Please get in touch if you can help.

SUPPORT DURING THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC

As is the case in communities across the country the Eden Valley has been no exception in responding to the challenges faced by the coronavirus pandemic. People have been coming together and supporting each other during this difficult time. In addition to families, neighbours and friends supporting one another a range of support groups, networks and services have been established in our communities to provide that extra bit of help, especially for the vulnerable, lonely and isolated.

Often these groups/networks have been established through parish councils and may relate to their Emergency Plans but other people have also come forward to offer/coordinate support arrangements. Sometimes a list of people believed to be isolated or vulnerable may have been drawn up through local knowledge so that contact can be made or maintained. Groups have employed differing ways for establishing contacts e.g. via ‘Help Cards’, websites, Facebook, emails, adverts in local papers and newsletters.

Below is a list giving details of some groups, networks, and contacts in communities covered by the Mid Eden Memo’s distribution area. Arrangements in each village community may vary. However generally the services on offer are likely to include the following types of help : -

> collecting and delivering essential food shopping or other urgent supplies

> collection of medications/prescriptions

> posting of mail

> offering a friendly chat

Other types of service may also include things like dog walking or plant and seed exchanges. Arrangements have also been made in some cases with some local food producers/retailers which can be delivered to central points in a village such as a village hall. The list may not represent the totality of the local support on offer but it gives details of at least some and key contacts. Page 5

Every November, the nation unites on Remembrance Sunday to honour those who made sacrifices to protect and se- cure the freedom we all enjoy today. We make sure that no -one is forgotten.

World War I

The number of men and youths who died during World War I was dev- astating. The shocking horror of that war touched every corner of the . It brought death to every city, town and village - ex- cept for fifty -two, one of which was Ousby. All twelve men and boys who marched off to war from Ousby returned alive.

What seems like a cause for celebration was at that time actually a source of embarrassment. As a blanket of grief shrouded thousands of communities throughout the land, social historians tell us that a small number of villages experienced a different emotion – shame.

For communities like Ousby, it was almost as if they had not joined in the sacrifice. Their residents benefitted from the peace after the war, but it felt like they had not paid the price. Records indicate that the sense of shame lasted decades. There was a self -imposed silence and censorship. It was felt that it would be quite wrong to celebrate the safe return of village men -folk as that might be seen as some kind of inappropriate triumph.

To mark their good fortune, the residents of Ousby quietly installed a small memorial window in St Luke’s church. The dedication at the foot of the stained glass reads:

“Erected by the parishioners in grateful recognition of the mercy of God who in his divine goodness afforded protection to all the men who went from this parish to the Great War 1914 -1918 and safely restored them to their homes.” Page 7

World War II

Then World War II engulfed Europe and the world. There were twelve men and one woman who left Ousby between 1939 and 1945. Incredi- bly, everyone who left Ousby to serve in World War II also came home safely.

To once again mark their good fortune, the resi- dents of Ousby purchased an oak lectern that sits in St Luke’s church near the pulpit. The dedica- tion plate on the front reads “In humble thanksgiv- ing to Almighty God for the safe return of all men and women from this parish who served their country in the Second World War 1939 -1945.”

Honour them with pride

War, once known, follows people all their lives. However with the pas- sage of time and the consequent change in attitudes, “Thankful Villag- es” like Ousby no longer feel shame.

Remembrance is a multi -faceted activity. It is anything but triumphal and is certainly not boastful. Nor is it about paying token respects on notable anniversaries. It is about reminding ourselves who we are and holding ourselves to certain standards. Above all, it is about learning lessons from the past and looking to the future.

Social attitudes have changed and we can now honour with pride the memory of all those local people who served in World Wars I and II - ordinary people caught up in extraordinary events.

We will remember them…

In World War 2, men and women from the British Isles fought alongside people from India, Pakistan, Nepal; Britain's colonies in West Africa, Gambia, Sierra Leone, the Gold Coast (now Ghana), Nigeria; and the Caribbean. Although Churchill sent telegrams to every Embassy and High Commission, telling them to find 'administrative means' to reject black volunteers, the need for recruits was overwhelming. Below is a table showing some of the world -wide carnage that was the Second World War: between 70 and 85 million people were killed. (Source: www.worldatlas.com) Total Deaths in WWII Rank Country % of Population (Low Estimate) 1 Soviet Union 20,000,000 13.7 2 China 15,000,000 2.9 3 Germany 6,900,000 8.23 4 Poland 5,900,000 16.93 5 Dutch East Indies 3,000,000 4.3 6 Japan 2,500,000 3.5 7 India 1,027,000 0.58 8 Yugoslavia 1,027,000 6.63 9 French Indochina 1,000,000 4.05 10 France 600,000 1.44 11 Philippines 557,000 3.48 12 Romania 500,000 3.13 13 Italy 492,400 1.11 14 Korea 483,000 1.99 15 Hungary 464,000 5.08 16 United Kingdom 450,900 0.94 17 United States 419,400 0.32 18 Lithuania 370,000 14.36 19 Czechoslovakia 340,000 2.33 20 Greece 300,000 7.02 Page 9

Remembrance Sunday November 8th

There will be a short service of remembrance at the War Memorial in Langwathby, at 10.45am, finishing with two minutes silence at 11 o'clock, but we will not be moving into church afterwards.

Some may wish to bring a chair to avoid standing for that length of time. Page 10

The District in 1847 From Mannix and Whellan’s Directory of

Langwathby

In 1841, Langwathby had in it 273 people. It had a common, 554 acres, and has been linked to Edenhall since Henry I gave it to Henry Fitz Swein (nowadays he’d be Henry Swainson), and later (pre 1300) it was part of Scotland till the puppet -king Baliol upset Edward I, who took hold of it. It remained royal property until William III, a Dutchman, gave it to a Dutch friend of his, by then Earl of Portland, whose family sold it to the Duke of Devonshire in 1787. Those holding their land from the lord of the manor had to attend his court at Penrith.

The Church was rebuilt in 1718 by its regulars, who added its porch in 1836. Bishop Appleby merged it with Edenhall in 1380, and the Vicar takes the services (twice each Sunday) at both alternately.

The Eden Bridge (a good one with three arches) was built in 1686. The Alston Carrier serves Langwathby (to Penrith Mon and Thurs; to Alston Tue and Fri) You could often get a lift with him.

Langwathby had 13 farmers (7 of them freeholders), 1 cattle – dealer, 1 miller, 2 blacksmiths, 2 gentlemen, 2 tailors, the Parish Clerk, 2 carpenters, 1 shoemaker, 1 shop, 3 pubs. Four people had left sums of money to help with the parish’s poor. The Vicar lived at Edenhall. Thank you to Jeremy Godwin Page 11

Eden District Council has won £513,003 of central Government funding for a pilot scheme to help improve energy efficiency in private households across Eden.

From Monday 19 th October, owner occupiers and landlords will be able to apply for funding of up to £10,000 from the Government’s Green Homes Grant, Local Authority Delivery (LAD) scheme, which will be delivered in partnership with E.ON UK.

It’s hoped the LAD pilot scheme, which run until March 2021, will help address the triple challenges of zero carbon emissions, improving residents’ health and wellbeing and reducing fuel poverty in the private housing sector.

The LAD scheme is an enhanced programme specifically aimed at Eden residents and is a separate source of funding from the Government’s existing Green Homes Grant scheme, which offers vouchers of up to £5,000 for households across the UK.

Households that have already received a £5,000 voucher through the existing national Green Home Grants scheme will not be eligible for funding through the Eden LAD scheme.

Leader of Eden District Council, Virginia Taylor, said: “‘Improving Eden’s housing is an essential step towards sustainability – carbon emissions, health and wellbeing, financial stability. But it’s very expensive, so I’m delighted our Officers have won us this investment from Central government – I hope very much there will be more schemes in the pipeline to improve more homes in Eden.”

Eden District Council’s Green Growth Portfolio holder, Cllr. Mark Rudhall, said: “The pilot will focus initially on offering energy efficiency installations, within Wards, which are impacted by the Pennines’ weather, including Alston Moor, Brough and Langwathby.

“As the scheme progresses it will then focus on the Wards of Kirkoswald, Hesket, Skelton and Penrith West. We aim to learn from this pilot scheme and widen the offer to additional Wards within the District during the next phases of the scheme.” Page 13

E.ON UK Chief Executive, Michael Lewis, said: “Improving energy efficiency makes people’s homes more comfortable, healthier and cheaper to run. We’ve seen those benefits first -hand through the work we’ve done with local authorities around the country, investing hundreds of millions over the last decade or so to ensure homes are fit for the future.

“By working with Eden District Council to deliver free energy saving improvements through the Green Homes Grant local authority delivery scheme we’re further demonstrating the ability of investing in housing to ease fuel poverty and energise the local economy which is all the more vital after Covid -19 and lockdown.”

To be eligible for a LAD grant of up to £10,000, residents must: • Have a household income of under £30,000 per year, before tax • Have a household Energy Performance Certificate, (EPC) level of E, F, or G

Residents who meet both of the above criteria can qualify for a range of energy efficiency measures, such as external wall insulation, air source heat pumps, window and door improvements and smart heating controls.

Those in older properties with solid walls, which have an annual household income under £30,000, but don’t have an EPC rating for their property can also apply. E.ON will assess their properties for an EPC and look to include them within the scheme.

EDEN VALLEY FRIENDS OF DEMENTIA UK QUILTING MARATHON Raising funds for a Dementia Specialist Nurse Since March 2019, the Eden Valley Friends of Dementia UK have raised over half their target of £50K, needed for the provision of a specialist demen- tia nurse (an Admiral Nurse), in the Eden Valley. Those affected by dementia and their family or carers would be supported in their own homes. Fundraising has become difficult because of Covid 19, which meant the can- cellation of some fundraising activities. So new initiatives have been neces- sary. For a period in October and November I am undertaking a challenge to make as many children’s quilts as I can, - at least 10 - and sponsorship money for this will go to the Friends of Dementia UK appeal. The quilts will go to sick or traumatised children in Cumbria, distributed by the NE Cumbria Co -ordinator for Project Linus. THIS IS HOW YOU CAN GIVE TO MY APPEAL: Through Just Giving: ‘Joan Patricia Wager is fundraising for Dementia UK – Joan’s Quilting Marathon’. By Bank Transfer to: Nat West Bank.
