It was hard work keeping everything watered through the hot June weather and all thanks must go to Freddie and Oliver, plus Luke Collins and Bradley Samways, for ensuring the stall was a success. In addition, thank you to all those in the village who generously donated plants from their garden which bolstered our stall with so many lovely perennials. The next Reading Room committee meeting will be on Julie O’Devlin Wednesday 12 July at 6.30pm. Minutes of the latest meeting (5 April) can be found on the Reading Room website: www.chilmarkreadingroom.co.uk Chilmark Church Fete Neil Sutton opened a hot and sunny Chilmark Church Fete on Saturday 18 June, and over 200 people enjoyed a happy day. Thank you to so many people - Neil and Susie Sutton for so generously allowing us to use the Old Rectory gardens, and everyone who helped set up and take down tents, especially the amazing team from Team Rubicon. Thank you Charlie Graham and all at Rural View for so many excellent signs, and to The Riverbarn, The Beckford Bottle Shop, The Fishmonger, Tisbury, and Ted Martin Flowers who all gave such generous raffle prizes. The Tea team was magnificent, and Sophie Eden entertained everyone beautifully on the keyboard. Thank you to everyone on the Plant Stall - Julie O’Devlin, Oliver Bey and Freddie Jenner along with Ed Leatham, Luke Collins and Bradley Samways were magnificent. A huge thank you to all the wonderful villagers who ran stalls and games, donated raffle prizes, bottles and books, grew plants, baked cakes, put up bunting and were so generous Oliver Bey and Freddie Jenner (centre) with their helpers Luke Collins in every way. and Bradley Samways Thank you to the Cricket Club, Reading Room Committee and Horticultural Society for all their support, and to the Friends of Chilmark & Fonthill Bishop Primary School for running their Pimms stall, and to the children from Sycamore & Oak classes (ably assisted by some past puils) who performed their traditional maypole dancing display. Money is still coming in but we have certainly raised nearly £2,000 for St Margaret of Antioch, Chilmark. The Friends are delighted to announce that their Pimms Stall raised an additional £300, which goes directly to the school. Felicity Pattenden and Bev Small Fete Teas Very many thanks to all who contributed to the teas at the Church Fete on the lovely summer afternoon in June.

    XIX.—Reginald, bishop of Bath (HJJfUgi); his episcopate, and his share in the building of the church of Wells. By the Rev. C. M. CHURCH, M.A., F.8.A., Sub-dean and Canon Residentiary of Wells. Read June 10, 1886. I VENTURE to think that bishop Eeginald Fitzjocelin deserves a place of higher honour in the history of the diocese, and of the fabric of the church of Wells, than has hitherto been accorded to him. His memory has been obscured by the traditionary fame of bishop Robert as the "author," and of bishop Jocelin as the "finisher," of the church of Wells; and the importance of his episcopate as a connecting link in the work of these two master-builders has been comparatively overlooked. The only authorities followed for the history of his episcopate have been the work of the Canon of Wells, printed by Wharton, in his Anglia Sacra, 1691, and bishop Godwin, in his Catalogue of the Bishops of England, 1601—1616. But Wharton, in his notes to the text of his author, comments on the scanty notice of bishop Reginald ;a and Archer, our local chronicler, complains of the unworthy treatment bishop Reginald had received from Godwin, also a canon of his own cathedral church.b a Reginaldi gesta historicus noster brevius quam pro viri dignitate enarravit.

  • Background Information
    SUFFRAGAN BISHOP OF RAMSBURY STATEMENT OF NEEDS AND PERSON PROFILE 1: THE DIOCESE’S VISION FOR CHANGE With the arrival of a new diocesan Bishop, the Right Reverend Nicholas Holtam, in September 2011 the conversations about re-shaping of the vision and strategy of the diocese have begun. In appointing a Bishop of Ramsbury it is the intention to recruit someone who, together with other senior colleagues and especially the new Diocesan Bishop and the Bishop of Sherborne, could lead in this process and help set a fresh direction and tone. See Appendix A for an extract from Bishop Nicholas’ first Synod address which gives an insight into the direction of travel. The Diocese’s Vision has been for a Church which, changed and revitalised to meet the great challenges of the 21st century, will be confident in faith and grow among the communities of the Diocese. Three key diocesan strategies underline this vision: - to adopt as the underlying themes of our work the five marks of mission of the Anglican Communion - to commit to be a learning and teaching Church for all believers - to work with a vision of developing a body of ministers, lay and ordained, stipended and voluntary, parish-based and engaged in fresh expressions of church, and deployed in response to the mission and ministry needs of our whole communities. These strategies have been the foundation of the Deanery Strategic Plans for the mission and ministry of each of the 19 Deaneries for the last five years. 2: THE DIOCESAN VIEW OF THIS POST The extensive and thorough consultation on the future of the See of Ramsbury and the future ministry of Bishops and Archdeacons in this diocese sought opinions from nearly 1,000 people across the diocese both from schools and parishes, civic bodies, ecumenical partner, producing some thoughtful and insightful responses from 5 open meetings, 2 diocesan meetings, 7 schools meetings and 115 written replies representing Parochial Church Councils and individuals from all walks of life.

The cloth towns of Bradford-on-Avon, Trowbridge and Westbury were thriving when John Leland visited in 1540; but GD Ramsay thought they had passed their golden age by 1550 and declined during the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Joan Thirsk – following the precedent of John Aubrey, who wrote a survey of north Wiltshire in the 1660s – characterised the region as ‘cheese country’. Based on new archival research, this thesis argues that, far from declining, cloth manufacture in west Wiltshire grew throughout the Tudor era and remained strong under the early Stuarts; that production of this crucial trade commodity gave the region national significance; and that profits from the woollen trade were the main drivers of change in west Wiltshire over the period 1530-1680.

Where items are dated, the prebendary at the time has been listed in the name index. PR/AA sub-series Alton Australis 1200-1629 Documents relating to the prebend of Alton Australis, Dorset. Previously called Awelton and in 1291 Aulton in Southbury. Lack states: 'The Manor of Alton Pancras in Dorset was part of the pre-Conquest episcopal estates of Sherborne. By c.1150 two prebends were probably in existence. In the 1220s these were called 'Awelton arch[idiaconi], and 'Awelton', while both were called 'Awelton' without distinction in 1226. In 1284 the names were 'Awelton Sancti Pancratii' and 'Awelton', while in 1291 there was a distinction between 'Aulton in Southbury', later Australis, and 'Aulton in Northbury', later Borealis. From 1329, the holders of the prebends can certainly be distinguished and can be traced back to 1297 but for the purpose of the earlier succession in the prebends, 'Alton Pancras' is taken to be Alton Australis and 'Alton Archidiaconi' to be Borealis' (pp.64 and 87). 1 PR/AA/1 item Fragment of a Deed nd [late 13th- Fragment of a deed.

F the fifty canonries or prebends founded at various O times in the Cathedral Church of Wells, three took their title and derived their emoluments from churches and estates lying beyond the boundaries of the Somerset diocese. These three are i. The prebend of Shalford, or Scandeford, in Essex, founded in the time of Bishop Reginald Fitzjocelin (a.d. 1174-1191), by the noble Hamon Fitz-Godfrey and Robert, his heir,^ before the year 1180. ii. The prebend of Holcombe,^ in Devon, the gift of Ralph, the son of Bernard, at the same early period.^ iii. The prebend of Warminster, Wilts, granted, as the charter declares, to God, and the church of Wells, and Reginald, Bishop of Bath, and his successors for ever, by Ralph Fitz-William.^ As the present Prebendary of Warminster, alias Luxvile, 1 have been led to look into the origin and history of this prebend, to ascertain the nature and amount of its ancient endowment, and the present possessor of it : and to frame from original documents the succession of prebendaries, as far (1).
