In the same way, in most of our villages we will brighten up the lamp posts and our village streets with bunting to announce the happiness and joy of our village Fetes or Fairs. All of them are remarkable outward demonstrations of how we feel; as individuals, and as local village communities. Local, National and International symbols are the symbols of a particularly proud, confident and inclusive community, in a way that unites its people. This unity is based on a common pride, which is incited by these different images that are immediately recognisable to us all. The symbol of the Red Cross of St. George will be used everywhere this summer to inspire a positive sense of belonging. The flag includes every member of our national community, regardless of colour or creed. England enjoys many national symbols, which are used extensively in political, social, cultural and even religious spheres, to represent this diverse land. In 2012 our generation hosted and led the joy and celebration of the Olympics, a time when the national flags and individual 'parochialism' of nation states were forgotten and merged into the Olympic flag. The symbol of the national flags was replaced by the multi-coloured and interconnected rings of the Olympic Flag, bringing people of all faiths and none together in unity and friendship. So when we see and celebrate this summer, encouraged by all of the rousing flags and symbols, let it reveal what St Paul says to the Philippians about “all that is true, honourable, just and commendable in God’s world”. ST. MARY’S PRAYER BOARD As we continue to pray in church on Mondays at 3pm, we are delighted to pray specifically for the needs of people in our community. Our prayer board (on the pillar opposite the main church door) serves to collect prayers from everyone. we will hold a name or issue in our prayers - just write your messages on cards provided and leave on the board. If you prefer to receive prayer in your home or elsewhere, do contact Fr Michael or Maureen Woodd (01780 789908) Maureen Woodd 7 8 WANSFORD & THORNHUGH CHURCH NEWS FRIENDS OF ST. MARY’S AND ST.

  • Chirico’S Research Has Directly Shaped the Work of the John Clare Trust
    Impact case study (REF3b) Institution: University of Cambridge Unit of Assessment: UoA29 Title of case study: The John Clare Trust 1. Summary of the impact (indicative maximum 100 words) Dr Paul Chirico’s research has directly shaped the work of the John Clare Trust. Dr Chirico has played a leading role in the work of the Trust, which he founded in 2004 with a view to the purchase of the poet’s birthplace in Helpston, near Peterborough. Through the John Clare Cottage and the work of the Trust on which it depends, he has since 2008 achieved direct impact on the conservation, preservation and understanding of culture. He has had an impact on education through the materials he has developed for visitors to the Cottage, both school parties and the general public. 2. Underpinning research (indicative maximum 500 words) The research was undertaken while Chirico was a member of the Faculty of English at the University of Cambridge: in 2000 he was awarded a Research Fellowship in open competition based on his research on Clare; he held this Fellowship (2000 and 2004-6) and a Lectureship (2001-4) at Jesus College. He then held a one-year appointment at the University of York (2006-7), and since 2007 has been Lecturer in English at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge. The son of a labourer, the poet John Clare (1793–1864) has in recent decades attracted a great deal of critical and scholarly attention. Chirico’s (2007) book John Clare and the Imagination of the Reader [1] makes a major contribution to the understanding of Clare’s place in social, cultural, and literary history by investigating Clare’s own sustained interest in ‘the historical complexity of his own geographical and cultural world’.

This led to his gaining a place to study piano and composition birds, plants and animals through the seasons. at London’s Guildhall School of Music under a Major Award from the County Borough of Brighton. ‘Clare’s Journey’ traces John Clare’s story from the point where, for a short while, he became a fashionable poet favoured by London Society. Indeed, the peasant poet. But London society was Deadman has since developed a strong interest in setting fickle and soon his poetry was forgotten. This probably played a part in the bout of depression which poetry to music which has included work by Thomas led to his being admitted to High Beach Asylum at Epping Forest, under the care of Dr. Allen.

However, Deadman’s particular was allowed to take walks in the local countryside and it was whilst doing so that he decided to interest is the work of John Clare, the nineteenth century escape and to try to make his way on foot back to his beloved home village of Helpston, a distance ‘peasant poet’.

  • U3A – Travel Club Visit to Norwich and Thursford Spectacular - 17Th-19Th November 2019
    U3A – Travel Club visit to Norwich and Thursford Spectacular - 17th-19th November 2019 Richard our smiling driver with his dark blue coach from Jones of North Wales turned up promptly at 8.30am and this was a sign of things to come as we made excellent progress east in the quiet Sunday traffic. We soon took the ever cheerful Richard and his obliging manner to our hearts. We were like kids with our goody bags and soon many people were deeply engrossed in puzzle books with their new pens. Others observed the remaining floodwaters of the River Severn. We arrived in the city of Ely, north east of Cambridge by lunchtime. Not quite enough time to do the cathedral and its lovely stone surroundings, Oliver Cromwell’s House, The Stained Glass Museum, plus the open market and shops, but we tried; many eating lunch on the hoof. Shame the market didn’t have Fenland Celery, but hooray I found some in Waitrose. Nothing tastes like this Heritage British product grown in the peaty fens. We arrived at the 3* Brook Hotel (Best Western) north west of Norwich to a very welcome hot drink and time to relax before a good carvery dinner. Porterage and service with a smile added to our enjoyment. The only complaint I ever heard was about anorexic toilet paper. Monday morning saw us in Norwich city for the cathedrals, castle museum and art gallery, shops and market. Many of us enjoyed the Gainsborough, Turner and Cotman paintings in the Colman Art Gallery and there was a huge natural history section in the museum.

  • Toccata Classics TOCC0194 Notes
    P PHILIP SPRATLEY ON HIMSELF AND HIS MUSIC My early years were spent at Balderton, near Newark, Nottinghamshire, where I was born in 1942. I played the piano as soon as I was big enough to climb on the stool or be helped up by my elder brother, who was a big encouragement. My introduction to music was through the concerts of the Newark Operatic Society or singing in the choir with my father at St Giles’ Church. Visits to the Albert Hall in Nottingham with my mother were a real joy, especially the Nottingham Harmonic Society concerts conducted by the much loved Herbert Bardgett. When I was fifteen, the vicar of Newark, the Rev. J. H. D. Grinter, arranged for me to play the organ at neighbouring Coddington Church. This activity kept me going, as school was not very enjoyable and the only thing there I really looked forward to was cricket and thus the opportunity to travel. After I had worked on the railway and had a few other jobs, the award of a scholarship to the Royal Manchester College of Music came as a complete surprise. I had been given a place but a grant for the year had been refused and I had no funds of my own. At Manchester my tutors were George Hadjinikos for piano and Tom Pitfield for composition. I also took time to play some organ with Ronald Frost, who was for years chorus-master of the Hallé Choir and the finest they have ever had. After a brief return to my roots, being unable to settle I took up a post in Romford, Essex.

  • Environment Capital
    Appendix B: Full reports from the members of the Biodiversity Officer Working Group 1. Bereavement Services Cemeteries 1.1 Further work has been undertaken during the past autumn/winter period at Broadway Cemetery, a County Wildlife Site, to raise tree canopies and remove unwanted self-sets. This has improved the ground flora as well as the aesthetic appearance of the site. Evidence indicates that wildlife is increasing at this cemetery and, hopefully, the bird and bat boxes previously provided are helping in this respect. 1.2 A further County Wildlife Site survey was carried out at Eastfield Cemetery, on 24 th July, 2009, which identified a reasonable selection of grassland and shade plants, although only a few of the indicator species found in 1991 were found during this survey. Consideration is being given to the current mowing regime to see if there is any room for compromise between the needs of nature and the demands of the bereaved. 1.3 The use of pesticides in the Council’s cemeteries has been significantly reduced and is now only used for weed control on paths and roads. Crematorium 1.4 The wildflower area continues to develop with self propagation supported by careful planting of native species. As with Eastfield Cemetery, the balance between the demands of the bereaved and supporting biodiversity needs sensitive management. 1.5 The Children’s Memorial Garden is maturing well with a good mix of indigenous planting supporting a range of butterflies, bees and other insects. The woodland pond has naturalised well and sports its own flora and fauna.
