Page 2 Editorial Welcome to the Spring Edition of the Loddon Valley Link. We are keen to reflect the news and views of the whole community -- Churches, villages, clubs and societies within our distribution area.

Do go and take part if you can (but take a ‘cosie’ just in case!) Finally, we are always looking for interesting articles for the magazine. With all the remembrance events this year, perhaps some of you have a story or two to tell? As ever, comments are welcomed. Contact the editor at: [email protected] Our thanks to Sheena Archer for supplying the cover page photo of the ceremony at the Garden of Remembrance at St. Leonard’s (see page 28 for more details). Page 3 Songs of Praise Sunday June 15th 11am on Sherfield Village Green A fun informal service held outside on the green, for the whole family. We will be using the fete marquee in case the weather is wet again! Everyone welcome, bring your dogs, bikes! Tadley Concert Brass will once again be providing the music for us. Re-interrment of Ancient Bones During the digging of the foundations for St. Leonard’s Church extension, ancient churchyard burials revealed some, now anonymous, bones that had long lost their identity and headstones. On Palm Sunday, 13th April 2014, Revd. Sammie Armstrong, in the presence of a large congregation, re--interred the bones in the Church burial ground, saying that it is central to Christian belief that a human body, at the point of death, ceases to have any importance for the resurrected life of the individual. However, it is equally important that we accord great dignity and care to the dead for in so doing, we signify the deeper funda- mental attitudes of the living. Gathering to care for the dead demonstrates that we value life. Page 4 “Pastoral Letter” ‘What’s happening about Bob’s successor?’ It is a question I get asked frequently. It is now five months since Bob left so where are we? On Monday, 24thth March we had a meeting of the PCC’s to appoint representatives to sit on the appointments committee to choose a new priestt in charge. Richard Elphick had done a wonderful job in completing a Parish Profile, which had been approved by the Archdeacon of Winchester and the Bishop of Basingstoke, the latter having now moved on to become Bishop of Bath and Wells. The Parochial Church Councils (PCC’s) of St.Leonard’s, Sherfield on Loddon, St. Mary’s Stratfield Saye and Hartley Wespall with Stratfield Turgis and St James’ Bramley with St. Stephen’s Little London, met at Cross House in Bramley to approve the Parish profile and select the representatives. The Archdeacon explained the process, answered questions and then left. Each PCC met separately and then returned to the ? main hall, where they all approved the Profile with some minor alterations to the ? wording and announced who would be their representatives. An advertisement will be written and placed in the appropriate places at the end of April and the first week of May, with a closing date of application on 22ndnd May. A short list will be drawn up and interviews will be held on 23rdrd and 24thth June. Depending on the notice the appointee needs to give, we hope to have a new Priest- in-Charge by October. We all need to pray that God’s person will be appointed.

For reporting crime, call 101 or go to the Hampshire police website www.hampshire.police.uk. Community Priorities The current neighbourhood priority is Burglary. A residential property in Cannon Heath, Overton, was broken into during daylight hours and jewellery was stolen. An electric bike was stolen from a garage in Ecchinswell. Some facts about burglaries (sources in brackets). Most burglaries take place between 10am and 3pm. (Safestyle UK) The average burglary lasts for eight minutes. (Dr Claire Nee, Unviersity of Portsmouth) Many burglaries are ‘spur of the moment’ decisions by a burglar who notices an open door, open window, valuables on display or some other weakness. (Thames Valley Police) The vast majority of burglars will want to avoid meeting the home’s occupants at any cost. (The Independent) A burglar may typically examine many houses before finding one that looks like an easy one to steal from. Homes with no security measures in place are five times more likely to be burgled than those with simple security measures. Good window locks and strong deadlocks can make a big difference. In most burglaries, the criminals broke into the house or flat through the door, either by forcing the lock or kicking it in.

  • Rotherwick Rotherwick
    Rotherwick Rotherwick 1.0 PARISH Rotherwick 2.0 HUNDRED Odiham 3.0 NGR SU 47130 15640 4.0 GEOLOGY London Clay extending westwards onto Lower Bagshot (sand). 5.0 SITE CONTEXT Rotherwick is situated at the junction of two roads. The first of these, known as The Street, runs east-west through the settlement from the direction of Mattingley which lies 2.5km north-east. The east end of The Street is 72m AOD after which it becomes Cowfold Lane. At the western end of Rotherwick, the second road is aligned north- south, forming a T-junction with The Street (88m AOD). North of the junction this road is known as Frog Lane, to the south it is called Ridge Lane, an appropriate description because west from here the terrain falls towards the valley of the Lyde River and the parish boundary (c. 60m AOD). 6.0 PLAN TYPE & DESCRIPTION Regular row + farmsteads 6.1 Regular row Recent maps show rectilinear property plots set at right angles to both sides of the Street, virtually throughout its entire length. The lengths of the plots are greatest at the west end of Rotherwick, reducing to half size or less at the east end of The Street. This, and other features argue strongly in favour of a regular row, and this is particularly marked at the western end of Rotherwick where The Street forks around a triangular green. Just to the east of the green, on the north side of the road, the C13 parish church fits neatly into the order of things in its rectangular roadside plot; only the style of construction setting it apart from other buildings.
