The service will be at St Peter and St Paul, Clare at 4pm. This festival can be traced to Abbot Odilo of the monastery at Cluny, in France, who in 998 commanded its annual celebration in all the Benedictine congregations. However, it was not until the fourteenth century that the Commemoration of All Souls on All Souls Day (November 2nd) became a fixed practice in the Roman Church. Our liturgy has an element of sadness as we remember the faithful departed, and especially those whose lives have meant so much to us. But this is not the sadness of those who know no hope, because our worship is filled with our faith in a blessed resurrection and the eternal joy that awaits all of us. The Commemoration of All Souls makes us mindful not only of the death of our loved ones, but also our own. Yet, ‘For those with faith, death is not extinguishing the light but putting out the lamp because the dawn has come’ (Rabindranath Tagore). You will find, at the back of each of our churches, a file. You are most welcome to print the name of anyone whom you would like remembered by name at our service when a candle will also be lit in their memory as an act of remembrance. It does not matter when, or where, the person whom you would like to remember died. Nor do you need to attend the service, although it would be lovely of course to see you. In November we move into the Season of All Saints beginning on Sunday 1st November with a celebration of All Saints. Then, on November 8th we observe Remembrance Sunday. Details of this service are still being thought through as we await further government guidance. Thank you to everyone who has supported our Harvest Appeals. Please drop off any unwanted garden or workshop tools at the Rectory together with food and toiletries for the Vineyard Food Bank. Donations towards the work of WaterAid are also invited. Thank you for your support. 4 Rectory Mardle The other week I took the Wednesday communion at Haverhill (every Wednesday at 9.30am – you would be most welcome). And much to my delight and joy I found what I thought I had lost – my metal comb. It has no monetary value, but I have had that comb ever since I was ordained almost forty years ago. And I lost it. Or at least I thought that I had lost it back at the beginning of year. I have had church wardens and treasurers on their knees looking under the pews – all to no avail. So, I had written it of but somehow, I could not bring myself to buy another comb. Imagine my delight then when I found my comb hidden away, tucked in my prayer book. Now I know what you are thinking. If you are thinking that this shows how often I use my prayer book, read on. If, on the other hand, that thought never even crossed your mind, you need not read any further. Before I address your thought, let me remind you of the parable that Jesus told about the woman who swept her house diligently to find the coin that she had lost. How does the parable end? Does Jesus finish by saying that had she been more careful she wouldn’t have lost the coin in the first place? No. Does Jesus suggest that had she done the housework more diligently she would have found the lost coin sooner. No. Jesus simply says that she ‘rejoices’, just like I am rejoicing having found my comb. Now, it’s perfectly fair to say that I would have found my comb sooner if I had been saying my prayers. Fair enough. But I carry that particular prayer book in my robes case in case of emergencies. That morning at Haverhill I realised that the altar book didn’t have all the words of the prayers and hence why I grabbed my own prayer book and in so doing found my lost comb. Yes, I know. A feeble response. And I’m sorry to all those who looked for my missing comb. But let the moral of my story be for us all to rejoice first and mutter later. Because St Francis of Assisi falls on a Sunday this year (October 4th) he gets cut out of the Lectionary! Seems a little unreasonable but we will remember him at the conclusion of the Season of Creation with a said communion at All Saints’, Rede on Tuesday, 6th October at 4pm. Do join us. 5 Rain Matters Jamie Robertson August started dry but ended up as very wet largely thanks to two days of very heavy rain, the 16th and 27th of the month. August, despite its reputation for baking heat is actually remarkably wet. In the last 25 years we have had measurements of over 100mm in three Augusts – 2010, 2006 and 2004 – and we seldom have less than 40mm. This year we had 104.75mm. At the start of the month we also baked in some very high temperatures heading towards 35 degrees Centigrade. The turn in the weather really started to come with the downpour on the 16th August and the following wet weeks in which we had storms Ellen and Francis to contend with and our second soaking on the 27th August. The wet of course helped plants but the stop-go nature of the weather this year has not really been in their favour and vegetables have had a stressful time of it being roasted by the sun one month and then doused in water the next. 6 Small Ads In need of extra help with mathematics?

The exhibition runs for two weeks and then afterwards by appointment until December 15th. He is showing one hundred paintings which include both his botanical studies and landscapes painted on his travels over the past forty years. Also included are book illustrations for The Secret Garden and other publications together with designs for mural paintings and other projects. Graham Rust’s best known work is The Temptation, the 5,000 square feet staircase mural at Ragley Hall near Stratford-upon-Avon which features in the upcoming Netflix series of The Crown this November. He has just finished illustrating a book for children Franz and the Travelling Doll—the true story of Franz Kafka and a little girl who lost her doll in a park in Berlin in 1923. It is to be published in Heidelberg this October. The Geedon Gallery is in a converted barn at Jaggers on Green Road Fingringhoe overlooking the salt marshes of the River Colne estuary.

  • Undulating Ancient Farmlands
    23 Undulating Estate Framlands EP/Edit1/02.08.10 Undulating Ancient Farmlands Key Characteristics • Undulating arable landscape • Field pattern generally a random ancient pattern with occasional areas of regular fields associated with former mediaeval deer parks. • Oak, ash and field maple as hedgerow trees • Substantial open areas created for airfields and by post WWII agricultural improvement • Studded with blocks of ancient woodland • Dispersed settlement pattern of loosely clustered villages, hamlets and isolated farmsteads • Villages often associated with greens or former greens • Rich stock of mediaeval and Tudor timber-framed and brick buildings and moated sites • A large scale landscape with long undulating open views trees, either in hedges or in woods, are always a prominent feature • In the undulating landscape, crop production, especially oilseeds can be visually prominent Location This landscape type only occurs in one place, which is an area of clay ‘upland’ bordering the Stour and Glem rivers in south-west Suffolk. The area lies between Clare and Cowlinge in the west and Shimpling and Lawshall in the east, extending northwards as far as Chedburgh. Geology, landform and soils Depden, in the northern part of this area, at 128m OD, is the highest point in Suffolk. The elevated plateau of chalky clay till laid down by the Anglian glaciation is, however, much dissected by small valleys, giving a markedly undulating landscape with some quite steep slopes. The sloping land, combined with the high chalk content of the glacial till, has created a large area of clay soils of the Hanslope series that are good for arable farming, (in contrast to the more difficult to cultivate Beccles series found on the clay plateau of High Suffolk).

  • Council Size Proposal for a Future Council for West Suffolk Submitted
    Council Size Proposal for a Future Council for West Suffolk Submitted on behalf of Forest Heath District Council and St Edmundsbury Borough Council In September 2017, Forest Heath District Council (FHDC) and St Edmundsbury Borough Council (SEBC) agreed a business case that supports the formation of a single district-tier Council for West Suffolk. This business case has now been submitted to the Secretary of State, who, under s.15 of the Cities and Local Government Devolution Act 2016, has the power to issue an Order to create the new Council. The business case and associated appendices is available at http://svr-mgov-01:9070/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=172&MId=3649&Ver=4 That Order will include those ancillary matters necessary to bring the new Council into being. One of the most important aspects is the number of Councillors necessary to operate the new council. Whilst this decision will be made by the Secretary of State, we consider it important that we submit our views, as the current District and Borough Councillors for West Suffolk, on the number of Councillors we believe the future Council should have. This paper covers: - Background to West Suffolk as a place - Background to West Suffolk councils - Forming our argument for council size, including: o The governance arrangements of the council o Regulatory decision making o Scrutiny and oversight arrangements o Responsibility to outside bodies o The representational role of councillors o Views of the residents of West Suffolk o How our argument creates a council size - Conclusion About West Suffolk West Suffolk is a growing area.

Information pack The accompanying information pack includes a booklet called Oral Anticoagulant Therapy: Important Information for Patients. This booklet provides general information about taking warfarin, side effects and things which can affect your anticoagulation control. Please read this booklet carefully and keep it for future reference. The information pack also includes an alert card; please carry this card with you at all times in case of emergency and to show to healthcare professionals such as doctors, dentists and pharmacists when you see them.
