WW1 Roh Supplement B4 Size Centenary Supplement to the Borough of Godalming 1914 – 1918 Roll of Honour This supplement was created and research by WO1 RN Ret’d Andrew Jeffery, Louise Goodfellow, Godalming Town Clerk and Maj Graham Hodgeson MBE TD RE(V) to mark the centenary of the First World War. Their research identified 281 men of the old Borough of Godalming who had died during WW1 of which 117 had not been recorded in the original 1914 – 1918 Roll of Honour. When compiling this supplement the criteria used was that an individual’s name could be identified in the Commonwealth War Grave Records of those who died in WW1, a connection with the town had to be established either by having been listed in the original Roll of Honour, having a name recorded on an existing WW1 War Memorial located within the town or being identified as having been a resident of the town by records held within the Local and National Archives. The records available in order to create this supplement were not available to Norah Easterbrook, the creator of the original Roll of Honour, who was solely reliant on the information provided to her at the time. With the exception of seven names, each date of death has been verified by the Commonwealth War Grave Commission records. Those outstanding names have not been verified because insufficient data exists to be certain of an individual’s identity. With the exception of the staff who were from the borough, the names of the 670 former pupils, masters or staff of Charterhouse School recorded in the Memorial Chapel are not included in either the original or supplement to the Godalming Roll of Honour.

  • Godalming Band Newsletter November, 2015
    GODALMING BAND NEWSLETTER NOVEMBER, 2015 Dear Readers, I hope you enjoy this issue of the Newsletter about the Bands’ activities. The Youth Band has had an especially active year, as seen below. You will find here information about engagements, achievements, and a comprehensive report on the Senior Band’s recent trip to Joigny, as presented by Dominic Cleal. David Daniels, Editor CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE Welcome to our Autumn Newsletter. 2015 has been a very busy and different year, especially for the Senior Band. Much of the early part of the year was spent preparing for the regional qualifying contest of the national brass band championships in March and for the Mayor of Waverley’s massed bands charity concert at Charterhouse in April. In addition to our usual summer events including an outdoor concert at King Edward’s School, Witley, much of our time and effort went into preparing for the Senior Band’s visit to Joigny, France in October. This visit was at the invitation of the ‘Harmonie de Joigny’, the wind band of the music academy in our French twin town, to celebrate their 150th anniversary. Now as the festive season approaches our Bands are busy preparing for the numerous local engagements as well as the joint annual Christmas Concert on Saturday 19th December, 2015. Thank you for your continued interest and support. We hope to see you and your friends and family at the United Church in Godalming on the 19th. Ray Pont, Band Chairman 1 A WORD FROM DAVID LOFTUS, YOUTH BAND MD As I write for this newsletter we are rapidly heading towards another very busy Christmas set of engagements.

  • LINK-Up Keeping Churches in Touch
    June 2020 - LINK uP Keeping Churches in Touch www.godalmingchurches.org Message from the Acting Chair Thy Kingdom Come – 21 to 31 May “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses …to the ends of the earth. When he had said this… he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight… Then they returned to Jerusalem … and were constantly devoting themselves to prayer… When the day of Pentecost had come they were all together in one place... All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit... and that day about three thousand persons were added.” Acts 1, 2 As many of you will be aware, Thy Kingdom Come is an ecumenical call to prayer from Ascension to Pentecost, which this year runs from 21 to 31 May. This year, in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, it feels that there is a new urgency and sense of the Holy Spirit moving. In the words of Reverend Canon Chris Russell, the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Advisor on Evangelism and Witness: Haven’t we sensed more than ever the longing for the Kingdom of God – where there is no pain or crying, no injustice or loneliness? Haven’t we longed for God’s ways to be seen in the world? Haven’t we been most moved by those who give their lives to serve all that the Kingdom of God stands for? We long for signs of the Kingdom. And as a church do all we can to serve that Kingdom.

  • The Wey Forward Issue 6, December 2017 — February 2018
    The Wey Forward Issue 6, December 2017 — February 2018 A message from our Superintendent Dear Friends, We are entering the time of preparation. No doubt you have been dusting off advent rings, checking the candle supply, decorating the church Christmas tree, or ordering oranges to make Christingles. And that is just in churches. I expect that you will also be doing your own preparations for Christmas with food, decorations, gifts, and making plans with relatives and friends. In a recent sermon, I was thinking about what it means to act on behalf of someone else. There are various images for this – one is the understudy. This is the person who has to be constantly ready, word perfect and waiting night after night in the wings in case they are needed. That is the sort of preparation we are called to make through this Advent season – properly prepared, expectant, and ready. I see this week by week in the people who teach in the Junior Church groups in many of the churches in this Circuit. They prepare good and challenging sessions every week, even though no children may come. We honour you for that commitment. We are now preparing for this Christmas but also for so much more than that – for the end of time when Christ will return. We are called to keep ourselves constantly ready by the way we treat other people, and the way we choose to live. This edition of Wey Forward takes us through Advent and Christmas, through Epiphany and the Covenant season and right into the start of Lent.

And do I use it to Your pleasing? A Prayer we should perhaps all pray and then act upon. Prayer Breakfasts are on the fourth Saturday of each month. Breakfast starts at 8:30, with the prayer time from 9:15 to 10:00. The next two are at Godalming Baptist Church on Saturday 27 October and Hambledon Church on Saturday 24 November.

We have said goodbye to some people as they have moved away or changed their roles. We have welcomed new faces. We are very grateful to Catherine Heffernan and Corinne Jones, the Circuit Administrators who worked so hard through the transition into the new Circuit. Catherine has moved to a new role for the Circuit – providing administrative support for safeguarding and financial matters. And in March we welcomed a new PA and Circuit Administrator, Sue Howson, who introduces herself later in this issue of the Wey Forward. It is good to have you here Sue. This coming September marks the 50th year since Paul Hulme started his ministry. Paul – congratulations from us all. We thank God for you and your ministry amongst us. The Circuit’s purpose is to support and resource the churches, to release gifts and to enable those to be shared. We are all part of the Circuit, just as we are part of the District and the Connexion.
