Both parishes are served by civil parish councils: Fulford Parish Council The Parish of Fulford is one of the largest in Stafford Borough and includes four wards, one of which is Fulford (which includes Cross Gate/Moss Gate, Saverley Green and Stallington communities). Until 1940 the civil parish boundaries were almost contiguous with the ecclesiastical parish, then subsequently the Meir Heath area was transferred to Meir Heath ecclesiastical parish and Blythe Bridge was transferred to Forsbrook. Hilderstone Parish Council The Parish Council comprises seven Councillors who represent the interests of the village of Hilderstone on behalf of Stafford Borough & Staffordshire County Councils. Many of the Councillors are also active members of other community bodies in the village including Christ Church and the Village Hall. Page: 6 WELCOME to FULFORD- in-STONE FULFORD: Church of St. Nicholas The Grade II listed church, dedicated to St. Nicholas, was “The old yews in St. Nicholas’ churchyard point to the built in 1826 on the site of an older chapel and features a church being a very early place of worship, and it semi-circular apse and vestry at the East end and an certainly was well established as a Chapelry in the 14th century, being listed among the Churches of Pirehill embattled West turret. The East window shows Christ in Hundred.” glory, with St. Nicholas to the left and St. Chad (holding Extract from “Fulford and its Church” by Roger Keight. The past Lichfield Cathedral on his palm) to the right. The bell tower incumbents of the church are recorded continually from 1682. houses two bells and the church has a hearing loop system. With seating for 140, the church is situated in a conservation area at the edge of the village and is bordered by agricultural land. It is well signposted from both ends of the village and has the advantage of a large car park next to the church. The open churchyard, with public footpaths, is visited regularly. Fulford war memorial is on the right of the footpath and the Roll of Honour hangs inside the church. The building was extended in the 1990s when an annexe was added, providing a meeting room, with a facility for providing hot drinks, and a W.C. suitable for disabled use. There is level or ramped access (and on into the nave of the church), with separate wheelchair access from the car park. The church’s tradition is central, with cassock, surplice (or cassock alb) and stole. The average Sunday congregation numbers have remained reasonably static for some years, which is seen as a sign of hope for the future. Members of the congregation read both Epistle and Gospel, lead intercessory prayer and assist at the altar. Two of the Eucharistic Assistants are also licensed to distribute extended communion. The weekly services aim to provide a mix of ancient and modern liturgies and there is a monthly non-communion service which incorporates baptisms from time to time. The most recent Quinquennial Inspection was undertaken in 2015 and the PCC is addressing the more urgent issues, including the need to fell an Ash tree in the churchyard. Page: 7 WELCOME to FULFORD- in-STONE Church Groups: Lent Courses: Lent courses have been held regularly over the years and have been well attended. More recently, parishioners from Hilderstone have joined the Fulford group. Start Courses: There have been two Start courses in the past and there is a weekly prayer group meeting, but we recognise the need for more teaching and would be glad to see the prayer group grow numerically. Baby & Toddler Group: This meets weekly in the annexe and provides a welcome opportunity for mutual support as mums, dads and grandparents chat whilst the children play. Varied activities include treasure hunts and decorating the church for Harvest and Christmas. Social & Fundraising Group: St. Nicholas Church has a well-established and committed social and fund raising group which organises events such as the popular “Fulford Open Gardens”’, lobby lunches (lobby being a traditional North Staffordshire stew), coffee mornings, an annual Christmas Draw and Harvest Suppers. Other events, slightly further afield, are also organised, including dining evenings on the Churnet Valley Railway. These events bring the whole of the village together while at the same time raising funds for the church. FULFORD-in-Stone: A Brief Outline The Parish of Fulford-in-Stone comprises four distinct areas: Fulford Village, Saverley Green, Cross Gate/Moss Gate and Stallington. The majority of people live in Fulford village, where the Church of St. Nicholas is to be found. FULFORD VILLAGE Fulford is an attractive and welcoming semi-rural village, surrounded by beautiful countryside. In 2015 it won Small Best Kept Village in the Stafford area. It has a primary school, an active village and farming community and events take place throughout the year, providing enjoyment for the local community and visitors. Information of forthcoming events can be found in the monthly church magazine, the quarterly village newsletter and by visiting the village website (www.fulfordvillage.com). The Fulford Village Group (FVG) is an enthusiastic group which provides information about our village and events which are taking place. FVG co-ordinates our entry into the Best Kept Village competition and organises a range of activities, including an annual “Fulfest” music festival, monthly walks from Autumn through to Spring, carols and mulled wine on the Village Green and other social activities throughout the year.

  • Once Upon a Time There Was a Small Town in a Bend of a River and A
    Further Electoral Review of Stafford Borough Council Submission by Councillor Robert Stephens and Neil Thomas Introduction This is an independent submission by Councillor Robert Stephens (who represents the Milford ward on Stafford Borough Council) and Neil Thomas, a Doxey parish councillor and political journalist who has previously made submissions to the LGBCE and its predecessor concerning the last two reviews of Staffordshire County Council’s electoral arrangements. Councillor Stephens made a representation to the Commission at the preliminary stage on council size. Mr Thomas did not. Neither of us supported a reduction in the size of the council but since the Commission is minded to do so we are making what we regard as a constructive submission. Council size For reasons we explain in more detail below, we believe it is more practical to reduce the number of councillors to 44 than to 40 as proposed by Stafford Borough Council. The main reason for this lies in the difficulty inherent in dividing Stafford town into meaningful wards represented by 19 councillors – the number required if the total number is to be only 40. We contend coherent boundaries are more easily achieved if Stafford town were to be represented by 21 councillors. Inevitably, the need to achieve a good degree of electoral equality requires that Stone town should be represented by six councillors and the countryside surrounding both towns by 17 – one more each than is proposed by the borough council. The average number of electors per councillor with 44 members would be 2,315. Our submission would reduce the number of councillors by more than 25%, compared with the 32% advocated by the Conservative and Labour parties in their submissions.
