April 2014 60P ISSN 1466-8211 UNDER THE EDGE INCORPORATING THE PARISH MAGAZINE GREAT LONGSTONE, LITTLE LONGSTONE, ROWLAND, HASSOP, MONSAL HEAD, WARDLOW No. 183 April 2014 60P ISSN 1466-8211 St. Giles ‘Panto’ On behalf of all of us who were lucky enough to attend either of the performances of ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour dreamcoat’ at St. Giles, we did not go home disappointed. Everyone involved deserves a huge ‘Thank You’ for all of their efforts in entertaining us so well. The children really entered into the spirit of things, especially when they were really jealous of the favouritism shown to their brother Joseph, by their father, Jacob. I’m sure most of us can remember the story of Joseph from our younger days. Bearing in mind the production was mainly sung, we were ably led through the story by the narrators, Tessa Andrews and Fay Waltho. Joseph was well-played by Ailis McTaggart and they were extremely well supported by the children and the more senior cast members. Frank Hammond as Jacob succeeded in alienating his many children by presenting Joseph with his’ Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat’, not exactly best parental practice! How will we ever forget Potiphar’s wife, played by Father Christopher Benson, best described as a captivating minx, causing trouble for Joseph, so Portiphar played by Ted Frazer-Smith, had him put in jail. The regular female double-act, June Fawcett and Su Woollen were spot on as the Hairy Ishmaelites (don’t ask!), after no-one could decipher Pharoas’ dreams and Joseph correctly predicted what they meant, he was put in charge of organising Photo: Kim Edmonds Narrators Tessa Andrews and Fay Waltho the country’s store of food to cope with the famine that was set to blight the land. Pharoah played by David Beale, in Elvis mode almost stole the show. The costumes were splendid and everyone involved behind the scenes deserve as many congratulations as the cast. Once again Kim Edmonds as director etc! etc! managed to get the production together, coping with the inevitable chaos, and it all came together beautifully. David Beale ‘Pharoah’ in Elvis mode Editorial Team. Great Longstone Methodist Church As a result of the generosity of the late Mrs. Mary Mosley (Molly) we have been able to purchase a Hymnal (a sort of karaoke machine for hymns!) which will be used mainly to provide music for our services and which will enable our faithful and long standing organist Mrs. Kath Skidmore to have a respite. This will be dedicated on 20th April 2014 during our Easter Sunday service commencing at 10.30 a.m. and to which a very warm welcome is extended to everyone. (Full details of all our services are usu- ally to be found on the back page of Un- der the Edge.) Thank you - most grateful.

  • The Economic and Social Impact of Cultural Festivals in the East Midlands of England
    THE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL IMPACT OF CULTURAL FESTIVALS IN THE EAST MIDLANDS OF ENGLAND FINAL REPORT Christopher Maughan Franco Bianchini De Montfort University, Leicester December 2004 Preface I am pleased to introduce the final report of the ‘Economic and Social Impact of Cultural Festivals in the East Midlands’. This is the first comprehensive study of festivals in the East Midlands and reflects on the economic and social impact of 11 festivals in the region during 2002-03. Arts Council England recognises the value and role of festivals in the region, and was therefore delighted to fund this research study. Our other partners on this project were East Midlands Development Agency (emda) and Regional Economic and Arts Partnership (REAP), which comprised of local authority officers from across the region. It is encouraging to read how successful festivals are, not just in terms of the economy, but also in making people proud of where they live and the community-based feelings, which are rekindled through such events. This research shows how far we, as a region, have come and gives us an indication of how we can build on this success to truly make the East Midlands the home of festivals. The success of any research project depends on the efforts many people. I would like to thank the researchers Franco Bianchini, Christopher Maughan and Paola Merli of De Montfort University, Leicester, together with the 11 festivals that took part. Most importantly, I would like to thank those members of the public who willingly gave their time and cooperation, helping to make the research a success.

  • The 1717 Guide Stoop on Longstone Edge. Is It Missing?
    The 1717 Guide Stoop on Longstone Edge. Is it missing? Ann Hall with valuable assistance from Alan Jones Introduction When Alison Stuart was preparing to move out of her family home at Christmas Cottage in Little Longstone shortly after Michael's death in 2012, she asked Hillary Clarke and I to help with finding the most appropriate home for papers that he had collected during his historical research. As we worked through a lifetime's work on many topics of local interest we came upon a photocopy of a guide stoop. Hilary recognised it as the one from Longstone Edge and I became interested to find out more. This article is the result of my investigations. Some of my chief sources of information were from books which describe rambles through Derbyshire in a rather romantic manner in the first half of the nineteenth century. They were not intended to be full scientific records of features along the way but rather a description of interesting walks and fascinating items along the route. The record in the books is not always reliable but I have tried to extract as much sound information as I can. There are records of a guide stoop, dated 1717, on Longstone Edge since 1905. Some of the earlier information is quite detailed and this suggests that it really was in existence at Page 2 of 5 Guide Stoop on Longstone Edge the time of the recording. In more recent reports it is listed as missing. My recent research intended to find out if it really is lost for ever.

His photo is of a Spring Starflower or Springstar , part of the onion and amyrillis family. The flowers are honey scented, which is no doubt what attracted the ant.

    The Ultimate Peak District & Derbyshire Bucket List: 101 Great Things To Do 1. Embrace the great outdoors in the UK’s first National Park Established in 1951, the Peak District is the country’s oldest National Park. If you love the outdoors, this protected area of natural beauty - which covers 555 square miles in total - offers over 200 square miles of stunning open access land to explore. 2. Visit the ‘jewel in the Peak District’s crown’ at Chatsworth House Home to the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, Chatsworth is one of the UK’s favourite stately homes.

It’s the highest point in the National Park and was also the site of the 1932 Mass Trespass, a landmark event which sparked a debate about the right to roam in the countryside, leading to the establishment of the Peak District as the first National Park two decades later. 4.
