THURSTONLAND PARISH NEWS May - June 2021 THURSTONLAND PARISH NEWS May - June 2021 The Blue Bell, by Emily Bronte The blue bell is the sweetest flower That waves in summer air; Its blossoms have the mightiest power To soothe my spirit's care.

Which suggests that we need to recall the story as well as restore the retail economy. We have walked with Jesus and his friends into Jerusalem, the heart of the religious and political establishment, causing great offence to many. We have sat with Jesus while he, shockingly, washes the feet of his betrayer, his denyer, his deserters. And we have heard him tell them that love is at the heart of their future life together – and it is not optional. Then we have followed Jesus through trial and torture, mockery and maiming, to his death on the cross – a cross planted in the rubbish tip of Golgotha, outside the city walls and beyond contamination. And it is vital that we stay the course through Friday and its terrible loss and confusion. Saturday is empty. A world has fallen apart and disappointed fear is the dominant emotion among Jesus’ friends. Only when we have stayed with the loss and the subsequent emptiness will we understand the grief of the world and be ready for the upset of Easter Day. For Sunday is when a woman hears her name whispered in the garden, the empty tomb begging questions and her encounter in this place echoing the locus of original creation. This time the garden is the place where new creation is glimpsed through the tears, even while the fear continues. This experience will be familiar to many this Easter, over a year since the first pandemic lockdown and after nearly 130,000 deaths in the UK. Loss and grief, bewilderment at lives broken and hopes dismayed. Yet, for Christians this is the moment of hope and joy. For we confidently and unashamedly stand in this garden and invite a sceptical world to join us here – to hear our names whispered by the Wounded Healer and to dare to see the pain of the world in a renewed way. The resurrection of Jesus changes everything. It doesn’t exempt us from suffering, but it does insist that suffering does not have the final word. And that is why the Church is here and is not going away. 3 I’ve been thinking about prayer… with the C of E When you were at school you were probably taught to put your hands together when you prayed. But in one of his many books about prayer, Henri Nouwen says that when we pray “we are asked to open up our tightly clenched fists”. So why give it a go you can start by holding your clenched fist in front of you, and then slowly opening it up to receive from God the blessings and wisdom God longs to give you. In this way – your hands open before God – your hand itself can be a basic pattern and reminder of how to pray: Using your hand as a model for prayer 1. Thumb When something is good you give it the “thumbs up”. So start with thanksgiving. Count your blessings. What are the good things in your life? Thank God for them. 2. Index finger This is the finger you use to point. Pray for direction in your life; the decisions you need to make; the things for which you are responsible; the things you are concerned about. Pray for direction in our world and for the challenges we face. 3. Middle finger This is the tallest finger. Pray for the important people who have power in the world; national and local politicians; the Royal Family and other world leaders and their governments. 4. Ring finger If you are married, you wear your wedding ring on this finger. It is also the weakest finger. It can’t do much on its own. Pray for your family and friends. Pray for the people upon whom you are dependent, and the people who are dependent on you. 5. Little finger This is the smallest and the last finger on your hand. Pray for the poor, the weak, the helpless, the vulnerable, the excluded, the hungry, the sick, the ill and the bereaved. Remember those who have died. And finally – lifting both your hands to God in thanksgiving – pray for yourself. 4 At the TVA AGM held this April (despite the abbreviations, AC-12 were not involved!), officers and committee members were elected (see below) and we reflected on the previous year. At its last meeting in the School Room on March 2nd, 2020, the TVA was planning an AGM in April. This never happened due to Covid restrictions, and like the rest of the country we went into ‘lockdown’ on March 23rd with all that entailed. We tentatively started using Zoom for our meetings in June, gradually honing our IT tech- niques as the months went by! Restrictions on numbers of people gathering meant that even the planned group litter-picks could not go ahead. A village Christmas trip to Lincoln was cancelled, and although the Newsletter was delivered in March and October 2020, the summer edition was missed and there will not be one printed for spring 2021. There was no village gala in 2020 and sadly it remains cancelled for this year. This means there has been no opportunity to show off our merchandise, alt- hough several of the new coasters have been purchased, together with the popular mugs, more of which have been ordered. The 100 Club continues to run thanks to Martin Bateman. This season he quickly managed to ‘entreat’ 100 villagers to join in record time, helped by bank transfer and Janet Matthews. It continues to be a steady fund- raiser and has helped pay for a leaf blower this year as well as £300 being do- nated to the school. Also, a “Tea and Cake” get-together is planned for all vil- lagers in July, when hopefully we can all safely and legally meet up. Despite the restrictions of social distancing and lockdown on all the activities our association organises and facilitates, we have survived! I’d like to thank all members of the TVA and villagers for their support in what has been a difficult‘ year’ for everyone. Officers Chair. David Jones Vice Chair. Martin Bateman Treasurer.

Thanks go to the village for the wonderful support. The Foodbank Charity is very apprecia- tive and the next collection is planned for Wednesday 23rd June. The Village Hall will be open from 11am to 2pm for people to drop off items. A mnemonic for healthy living during the C-19 pandemic Matthew 11: 28-329 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Tune your life to healthy rhythms Handle expectations Recognise times of vulnerability Identify safe spaces to be heard Value and affirm Establish healthy boundaries 6 Dedication of Flowers at Easter In the last Parish News we reported that we were not sure if the church would be open over the Easter period but that we were going ahead with the Dedication of Flowers even if they had to be displayed outside. We were very happy that the church was able to open, and the church looked beautiful with the array of over a hundred white and yellow roses and with the list of dedications on display. Many thanks to those who dedicated flowers, and those who also made donations, as this project (although not actually designed to be a fundraising event) added £355 to the window fund, in addition to giving so much pleasure to all who saw them. THANK YOU TO ALL WHO WERE ABLE CONTRIBUTE 7 Thurstonland Community Choir News As the year continues with restrictions, we have kept running each week over Zoom. There have still been 20 plus choir members turning up each week despite the challenges of singing on your own at home. We have kept trying to innovate with our use of technology, getting the whole choir to watch a video of an opera together, and singing along with other choirs’ performances. We also ran a Desert Island Discs evening where each person chose a piece of music, a book and a luxury. It was really interesting to hear from everyone the reason for their choices! It appears that the earliest we will be able to meet again will be from 17th May.

  • The West Riding in the Late Seventeenth Century by David Hey
    Introduction: The West Riding in the Late Seventeenth Century by David Hey Not only was Yorkshire by far the largest of the ancient counties of England, at 1,709,307 acres, but the West Riding alone exceeded in size every other county except Lincolnshire. The word riding is derived from the late Old English ‘thrithing’ or ‘thriding’, itself adapted from an Old Norse loan word, meaning a third part. Wapentake, similarly derived, was the equivalent of the Anglo-Saxon hundred, and came from the symbolic flourishing of weapons to signify agreement when decisions were made in open-air assemblies at convenient sites, such as a river crossing or by a stone cross.1 The wapentakes continued to see to the levying of taxes, the raising of the militia and the maintenance of law and order and did not finally disappear until the reorganisation of local government in 1974. The West Riding was divided into eleven wapentakes: Ainsty, Agbrigg, Barkston Ash, Claro, Ewcross, Morley, Osgoldcross, Skyrack, Staincliffe, Staincross and Strafforth. The Ainsty, bounded by the rivers Ure, Ouse and Wharfe, had been annexed by Henry VI (d. 1471), king of England, to the city of York, as the county of the city, which was independent of all three ridings, but it was still considered to be a West Riding wapentake. The wapentakes were divided into townships, the vills of medieval documents. In the eastern parts of the West Riding many townships were coterminous with the ecclesiastical parishes and were referred to as parishes in the hearth tax returns, but the large moorland parishes in the west contained numerous townships.

  • Shepley Library
    Page 1 Page 2 Dear Readers With lockdown restrictions now eased we find ourselves able to venture out to shops, hairdressers and pubs all of which have been through very difficult times over the past year. Of course, it’s great to be able to visit towns and cities again but please remember our local traders who are the very heart of our village. Although in recent years we’ve lost two of our pubs, at least temporarily, we still have some great places for a drink with friends and family. In the village centre we are lucky to have The Black Bull with outside seating. They will be open on Thursdays from 3 to 9pm and Friday to Sunday from 12 to 9pm. Please note that the carpark will be closed on those days. Call 01484 608111 to make bookings which are essential. The Toss o’ Coin on Penistone Road will open from 12pm onwards Friday to Sunday, for drinking only at the moment. They have a large beer garden and with good weather, this is a lovely place to have a drink with wonderful views over the surrounding fields. They plan to be back to normal with their popular indoor meals from the 17th of May when government restrictions are due to be eased further. One of the regular supporters of Shepley’s Magazine is The Rose and Crown at Thurstonland, another popular pub with a great reputation. They are open every day from 12pm for outside drinking and dining. Booking in advance is recommended here so please call 01484 660790 for a table.

  • HIGHWAYS HERITAGE WALKS the Five Guide Stoops Walk, from Thurstonland Walk Length: Approximately 6Km, Allow Around Two Hours
    HIGHWAYS HERITAGE WALKS The Five Guide Stoops Walk, from Thurstonland Walk Length: approximately 6km, allow around two hours. Alternatively, you may visit the stoops by road. Grade: easy except for the optional medium walk though Clough Wood. Start: the Rose & Crown in Thurstonland, near Huddersfield/Holmfirth Grid Reference: SE 1650 1042, OS Explorer 288. Postcode: HD4 6XU Public transport: bus 341 from Huddersfield or bus 911 from Honley. Roadside parking in The Village; on wide verges beyond the church in Marsh Hall Lane. Description This circular trail visits five of the seven varied guide stoops in the Kirkburton Parish Council area, with some spectacular views over open countryside. Route Instructions After Roman times, roads developed to meet local needs. In 1555, an Act of Parliament made local parishes (or often townships in the North) responsible for their upkeep and boundary markers became important; you will see some on this walk. In 1697, County Justices were ordered to erect guideposts (stoops) on the moors and where highways crossed. These are often beautifully inscribed, with old spellings and lettering, with cuffed hands indicating directions and the distances in ‘long miles’, about a quarter longer than statute miles. Our walk visits five of these stoops. 1 Mid-18th century boundary stone Facing the Rose & Crown turn left (west) for 30m, then turn right onto a marked path between houses (Upperfold Barn). The path soon emerges onto an edge with spectacular views of the Holme Valley and the Pennines. Thurstonland church is on the right. The path crosses a stone stile, and continues in the same direction through fields.

  • RESEARCH on SHIPLEY FAMILY ROOTS in ENGLAND Remarks by Dr
    RESEARCH ON SHIPLEY FAMILY ROOTS IN ENGLAND Remarks by Dr. Neal Shipley Department of History, University of Massachusetts at Amherst Presented at the Shipleys of Maryland Annual Meeting, October 1993 I would like to talk to you today about some research I did on the Shipleys in England. As he mentioned in my introduction, I go there a lot for professional reasons as well as personal reasons. I like to go there. Also, for seven years I directed a program of taking American undergraduates to Oxford for the summer. It seemed like a good idea at the time. When I was asked to settle in for a second appointment as director of the program, I felt that there was no force on earth that would make me take one hundred and fifteen adolescents abroad for the first time in their lives again. Nothing would make me do it, so I retired from that. The circumstances were, though, that I did get over to Britain. I had been a graduate student there, so I knew the ropes -- the research facilities -- so I didn't have to learn that. I have also written a lot on family history in the context of economic history, and it struck me as rather odd that I would do for others what I had not thought of doing for myself yet. So, in the intervals of contending with adolescent pranks at Oxford, I could go down and work in London, off and on, as much as I could for several summers. To prepare comments for today was a major act of compression because I came across masses of material.

    THURSTONLAND PARISH NEWS March - April 2021 “For oft, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils.” (William Wordsworth 1807) David Lister NIGEL GOODY MASTER CRAFTSMAN BESPOKE DRY STONE WALLER PICTURE FRAMING For all your dry stone Prints, Posters, Paintings walling requirements and Illustrations Free estimates on all work which includes insurance.

Maybe it is because the story of being human in inexorably linked to sacrificial love? Or for those who truly believe is it because of a need at some conscious level for hope to abound? Are the events of Lent, Holy Week and Easter a continued dramatisation of our own reality, succinctly shoed into a six week period which begins on Ash Wednesday and runs up to Easter day. Ash Wednesday is of course the day on which the palms are burnt and made into Ash to be used later in the day by the priest to sign the people with. The cross that was first signed at a persons Baptism on their forehead is re- traced and the words used are powerful reminders of our mortality and the reason that we are mortal: “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.
