We work with external heritage and professional organisations to maintain best practice and improve standards of care and conservation. The conservation grants programme supports parishes in the conservation of ecclesiastical furnishings and artworks of historic and artistic significance. These grants are targeted at the main categories of objects and materials found in Anglican parish churches: bells, books and manuscripts, clocks, decorative plasterwork, metalwork and church plate, monuments, organs, paintings on canvas and wood, stained glass, textiles, timberwork, wall paintings and historic structures in churchyards. Our grants for urgent fabric repairs help parishes maintain their buildings and protect the historic contents within them. The aim of this programme is to support the care and conservation of church buildings and their contents, balancing it with the needs of worship and mission. In addition to the conservation works, our grants also help with costs associated with preliminary surveys and preparation of conservation reports. The aim of these grants is to allow for the detailed study of the condition of objects and analysis of the causes of their deterioration, in order to establish an informed conservation strategy. The assessment of applications is carried out by seven committees that draw together 58 professionals who are experts in their particular fields and ensure that grants promote best conservation practice. A list of membership is presented at the end of this report. Over the following pages, we provide an overview of our grant awards for conservation and fabric repairs in 2018 and 2019. These are not the statutory accounts for the grants programme. ChurchCare’s operating and staff costs are funded by the Archbishops’ Council. However, the conservation grants programme is financially independent and does not receive any central church funds. It relies on donations from external charitable bodies and individuals. Grant-related funds administered by the division are audited and reported in The Archbishops’ Council Annual Report and Financial Statements. 3 OUR FUNDERS The Conservation Grants Programme (for the conservation of artworks and historic furnishings) was funded by donations from The Pilgrim Trust, The Radcliffe Trust, The Anglican Parish Churches Fund (APCF), The Oswald Allen Fund and The Gunnis Fund. In addition, the Church Buildings Council allocated £37,000 in 2018 and £19,118 in 2019 from its own Founders’ Fund. The Fabric Repairs Grants Programme was funded by donations from The Wolfson Foundation Trustees for the repair of fabric of listed church buildings amounted to £400,000 in 2018 and £403,000 in 2019. Without the generous support of our funding partners we would not be able to help the thousands of volunteers that look after some of England’s most treasured heritage, found in our parish churches.

  • History of the Parish of Waltham on the Wolds and Thorpe Arnold

    History of the Parish of Waltham on the Wolds and Thorpe Arnold

    History of the Parish of Waltham on the Wolds and Thorpe Arnold Waltham-on-the-Wolds The village is situated in the northeast corner of Leicestershire, five miles from Melton Mowbray, eleven miles from Grantham and approximately twenty miles from Leicester, Nottingham, Newark and Stamford. It is positioned on the eastern edge of the Leicestershire Wolds, overlooking the Vale of Belvoir from a height of 168m (560ft), making it the second highest village in the county. Geologically, Waltham stands on a mixture of clay and red marl with underlying strata of Jurassic limestone, which has been quarried locally and used in the building of many of the older houses in the village. There is little evidence of any settlement in the area earlier than AD 800. The Domesday Book reference to Waltham reveals that the village belonged to Hugh of Grandmesnil who, after the Norman Conquest, was the largest landowner in the county. Hugh allowed a man named Walter to hold a major part of the village and surrounding area. Some say that this arrangement gave Waltham its name – Walt’s Ham (Walter’s Town). However, earlier records refer to the village as Wautham – so another theory is that the name may have been derived from Weald (woody), Ham (town) and, the Saxon word, Wold (a hill or high place). THE WALTHAM TIME-LINE • 1086 Waltham mentioned in the Domesday Book • C1200 St Mary Magdalene Church built • C1300 Church rebuilt • Medieval Era Waltham market & annual fair established under a charter granted by Henry III 5h Century The Horseshoes (later the Royal Horseshoes) built and alterations to the Church • 1541 Parts of the village belonging to the various religious houses at the dissolution of the monasteries were granted by Henry VIII to Thomas Manners, Earl of Rutland • 18th Century Market ceases to trade but annual fair continues – seventeen alehouses in the village.

    Number 107 August/Sept 2017 George Skelton and the Dersingham Decoy - page 65 1 2 Editors Notes Tony Bubb Sorry, you have me at the helm again but not for long. Sadly my brief predecessor had a falling out with management so for the sake of continuity I am back at the coal face. There is a new appointment for next time and I think I will leave the country. It’s not often that one gets to praise a utility company but where praise is due I think it is justified. Our lights were flickering, mainly noticeable in the kitchen lit by fluorescent tubes. Occasionally dimming we noticed that it seemed to coincide with switching on other appliances but initially I put it down to the age of the lighting unit and set about researching replacements. I even discovered that there are LED versions of striplights at considerable expense. However, the problem came to a head when, on putting down the toaster slider, all the lights went out. I quickly looked at the trip but no, it was still OK and on ejecting the bread on came the lights again. Repeating the action resulted in the same. I rang EON, after all it is they who we pay, and was directed to another phone number, supposedly being that of the power supplier for our area. Wrong! After a bit of defensive talk from them I was redirected to UK Power Networks. Details were noted and within 30 minutes an engineer had examined our overhead supply, diagnosed the fault - corroded contacts, they all do that sir, and summoned a repair team.
