It was here – where an ancient stone chair stands at the entrance to the castle – that according to legend, a vision of the Archangel St Michael appeared to some fishermen in the year 495. A place drenched in spiri- tual energy and religious roots, St Michael’s Mount has been an important pilgrimage destination throughout the ages.

According to legend, St. Michael appeared to St. Aubert, Bishop of Avranvhes in Normandy, in 708 and instructed him to build a church on the rocky islet. Aubert repeatedly ignored the angel's instruction, until St. Michael burned a hole in the bishop's skull with his finger

3 St MylorMylor————thethe Young PrincePrince————PartPart 2 Last year a coach-load from our parish travelled up the county to Linkinhorn Melor Church to visit our sister church of St Melor (same saint, different spelling). It was the day the sun shone and we had a wonderful trip. As the first celebration of our Patronal Festival month this summer, many of us made another pilgrimage, this time to some of the churches of the Lizard. What gathered us to the most southerly tip of the diocese were the stories of their foundation, in particular what we might learn about their founding saints and what they might teach us about ours. Because, you see, exactly who first planted a church where we now worship is no easy thing to establish – and the martyr-prince whose sanctity led to the foundation of a number of churches and chapels on both sides of the Channel is not the only contender for celebration on our festival day. The great authority on the Cornish saints is the Rev. Canon G.H. Doble. In his booklet on St Mylor (1927) he treats us to several lengthy versions of the sad story of Saint Melor the saintly child-martyr. Then he comes up with this: ‘The truth is that the Melor honoured at Mylor, Linkinhorn, and Merther Mylor was, originally, not the martyr-prince ... but an earlier saint, - a Pan-Celtic Abbot- Bishop, who is still honoured at Tremeloir in Brittany, and was honoured in many other places in that country until he was displaced by the popularity of the Legend of the little prince ...’ This conclusion is supported by the observation that in Brittany the cult of St Melor the martyr ‘is a purely inland one’. And, as you visit the churches of the Lizard today, you have to admit that what strikes you forcibly is how well our parish fits geographically with these planted within sight of the sea by peripa- tetic abbots and bishops. Stand – as we did - outside the little church of St Grada in the United Benefice of St Ruan with St Grade and Landewednack and look north-east across the water towards Falmouth Bay and the Carrick Roads, and Bishop Mylor of Redon in Brittany takes his place alongside these other saintly abbots and bishops who are remembered locally: • St Corentin Bishop of Cornouaille in Brittany who founded the church at Cury. • St Winwalloe also known as Guénolé, founder and first Abbot of the monastery at Landévennec, who founded Gunwalloe and several other Cornish churches. He is also the dedicatee of the church in the parish of Landewed- nack, the lan (or ‘sacred enclosure’) of St Wennac. • St Mellanus or Melan, Bishop of Aleth (St Malo), founder of Mullion, is honoured in the cathedral at Rennes. • St Kieran (or Akeveranus) founded St Keverne, an important monastery in the middle ages. 1 To which list we add: Melor or Melorius, Abbot-Bishop, chum of St Samson, who came to rest at the cathedral of Redon in Brittany. 4

‘No doubt’ writes the canon, ‘ Melor the Abbot-Bishop constantly passed backwards and forwards by water between the Helford River, the Fal, the Bay of S. Brieuc and the Bay of Douarnenez. ’ This sounds most convincing you might think. But before you relax, hear this: quoting Charles Henderson, Doble identifies for us a third Mylor site just down the road, Merther Melor (or Barry Mylor), ‘in the Meneague district, which means the Monks’ Land, and which stretched on both sides of the Helford River .’ Up which we may picture our Celtic Abbot-Bishop sailing in evangelical fervour. But Henderson tells us Merther means martyr , or Chapel of a martyr , which leads us back to our martyr-prince. All of which is greatly confusing and leaves us no clearer than we were at Chapel of St Meloir— Britanny the start. On the one hand we have a holy colleague of St Samson, who founded a monastery at Golant in the C6th, - on the other, a follower of the blessed youth whose relics made miracles happen and whose fame spread so widely on both sides of the Channel. But we don’t have to choose between them, just give thanks that our heritage is so rich, our Christian foundations so deep. As another notable Cornish Canon (the late Canon Miles Brown) has put it:

St Melan (Mullion)

All these Cornish shores are holy. Here the saints in prayer did dwell, Raising font and altar lowly Preaching far with staff and bell. Piran, Petroc, Paul Aurelian, Euny, Samson, Winwalloe. Miles Brown

1Honesty obliges me to confess that we didn’t actually get inside St Keverne church this time, the draw of Roskilly’s ice-cream being irresistible. 5 Chapel ChitChit----ChatChat Harvest celebrations begin at Mylor Methodist Chapel this month. This is a family occasion on Sunday, 19 th September, when children bring gift boxes of fruit and vegetables for the elderly or housebound. The surplus food is auc- tioned on Monday, 20 th September. Before the auction at 7:00 pm, there will be a celebration by the young people’s Lighthouse Club. You are warmly invited to support these events. The proceeds will be donated to the ‘Methodist Relief & Development Fund’ for those who have no harvest to celebrate. This month, I have written a story for our younger readers. I hope you enjoy it! ……. and the picture below is for them to colour in!

Read the story of the Four Little Seeds on the opposite page and then find Bert,Bill, Ben and Basil hiding in the picture?

6 THE FOUR LITTLE SEEDS Once upon a time there were four little seeds. They were called Bert, Bill, Ben and Basil. They had been kept all Winter in a bag with a lot of other seeds. It was dark and quiet, but it was also very dry and the seeds were beginning to feel parched. Then one day they were taken out of the hole in the wall, where the bag had been kept, and the same man who had put them there, peeped inside. “There,” he said. “That should make a good crop!” And with that he tipped all the seeds into a more open bag with a strap, that he put around his neck. He strode out of the door of the small dark room, out into the brilliant sunshine! The seeds felt dazed; both by the light and the way they were shaken about as the man walked along. Suddenly the man started to walk very slowly and deliberately. He opened the bag and took a handful of seeds, which included Bert, and Bill, and Ben, and Basil, and threw them into the air. They spun round and round and did all kinds of somersaults - and then - ‘PLOP’ - they landed on the ground. Bert made himself very comfortable in the soft damp earth and had ‘forty winks’ after his energetic morning. And so did Bill and Ben. Basil wasn’t so lucky. He had fallen on the well-trodden path. It was hard and hot in the sunshine and it wasn’t long before a bird swooped down and gobbled him up. However, he wasn’t the only one. Quite a few of his friends had fallen on the path and the birds had quite a feast. Bert, Bill and Ben lay comfortably in the sunshine. On the moist soil they gradually became quite plump. They sunbathed for several days. Suddenly they felt something exciting was happening! What was it? Yes, they were growing! First of all a root went burrowing down into the soil. Through the root came the water and food which travelled up into a bright green shoot. This shoot then grew into lots of long, narrow leaves, just like grass. But Ben wasn’t feeling so well. He had grown quicker than the others because his bed was warmer. The reason for it being warmer was because, not far down from the surface of the earth, it was rocky ground. The soil was so warm that it began to dry out. Ben became very thirsty and began to wilt. Then the sun dried up his lovely green leaves and they shrivelled away. Bert and Bill continued to grow. Then Bill began to notice that some of the plants nearby were not the same as him. Their leaves got bigger and bigger, and they even had thorns. It was rather frightening. They were very rude and pushed Bill and his friends out of the way, covering them with their leaves. Although Bill tried very hard to reach the sunlight by growing tall, he just couldn’t make it, and stayed very thin and poorly. One day, some months later, the man who had sowed the seeds came back again and cut all the barley plants down with a sickle. He was very pleased with Bert and all the plants like him, for they had produced a lot of seeds. Some had thirty, some had sixty and some had as many as a hundred seeds. The sower was especially pleased with those! God gives us kind and good thoughts but sometimes a naughty bad thought will come and take the good thought away. Just like the bird took Basil away. Sometimes our kind thoughts grow into kind deeds, but we get fed-up and we stop doing ‘the right thing’. Like Ben, we just dry up! Sometimes our kind thoughts grow into kind actions, but then other things crowd into our lives and we think we have better things to do. But they are not better things - they are like the weeds that smothered Bill. Jesus can help us to be like Bert.

A Story from the Graveyard The clearing of the St Mylor Churchyard has made possible the re-discovery of ‘lost’ graves, The descendants of Richard Barron (cover picture) had always believed that he and two of his sons lay buried here, but detailed searches had failed to discover exactly where. Maureen Jackett, the great- granddaughter of Richard Barron, researched and wrote about the loss of Olivia in Flushing Matters some years ago. Now that the gravestone has been found and cleaned, her story is worth re-telling. It is printed below under the title given to the disaster in the Falmouth Packet , dated June 8th, 1910. CATASTROPHE IN FALMOUTH BAY TORPEDO BOAT SINKS FISHING CRAFT At around lunchtime on 30 th May, 1910, the fishing boat Olivia left Flushing for the fishing grounds off Porthallow near the mouth of the Helford River. Aboard were the owner, Richard Barron, his two sons (Tom and Jim), 18- year-old Walter Warren and William John Tregaskis. A full day’s fishing lay ahead with plentiful shoals to be caught. At around ten o’clock their day’s work done and with a sea mist rising, the sails were set ready for the return to Flushing Quay. Throughout the day they had been aware of Royal Naval exercises being car- ried out in the bay but were unaware of the impending disaster about to over- take them. The torpedo boats HMS Quail and HMS Patrol, were engaged in the last exercise of the day. At a given signal from Patrol, a rocket was fired towards her from Quail, followed immediately by a swift charge towards her (at an estimated 21 knots) across the bay. Momentarily blinded by the signal (a strong spotlight) the captain of Quail was totally oblivious to the small craft directly in her path. The impact, when she hit Olivia was to immediately slice off the bow of the fishing boat, tossing the crew into the sea. Richard Barron was rescued but died shortly afterwards aboard Quail . William John Tregaskis was also rescued but both Tom and Jim Barron were lost, as was Walter Warren. The impact was immense on the village of Flushing and surrounding areas. Flags ashore and at sea were flown at half mast. A disaster fund for the widows was promptly launched. In Falmouth an impromptu concert was held at the Drill Hall to raise funds and on Greenbank Quay blue jackets from Quail also put on entertainment. A subscription list was passed amongst all the ships of the flotilla and the crew and officers of Quail each donated a day’s pay. At the inquest the captain was totally exonerated on the grounds that he had been dazzled by the strong spotlight and had not seen Olivia in such close proximity. However, Olivia’s crew should have been warned about the exercises. The walking funeral procession to Mylor Church was accompanied by around 100 bluejackets, Royal Marines and officers of the ships of the flotilla, besides fishermen from all around Falmouth harbour and from Mevagissey, the port the Barron family had left in 1895. Olivia , built in Mevagissey, was a fishing trawler of ten tons, forty feet in length and with a beam of ten feet. She was never recovered. Maureen Jackett S.V Olivia (Cornish Lugger)

They have also held their an- nual regatta beach Fun Day, at the start of Flushing Regatta Week; pro- viding fun, beach games for all ages and a chance to try out rowing. A huge selection of cakes, refreshments and BBQ fayre were on offer to help raise F&MPGC Ladies win at Coverack funds for club equipment. A new Club Race Night has been introduced in recent weeks, which sees short sprint racing off Flushing Beach on Tuesday evenings with crews selected at random on the night and winning rowers accruing points over the series. Serious training carries on as well, in anticipation of the end of season County Championships which take place in Newquay in September. This year, the club hopes to enter 3 crews into both the Men’s and Women’s races. Further- more, 3 gigs will be travelling from the club up to London at the end of Sep- tember to take part in the Great River Race, down the Thames. This race will take the crews around 2 hours or more to complete and so endurance training is on the cards for many in the build up to this gruelling challenge. St Mylor Churchyard Maintenance Group has cleared further areas of the Churchyard so that almost all graves are now accessible. The old rubbish area close to the Trennick Building has been completely cleared and has been seeded and a new pair of wooden gates now replaces the old single metal gate. Access for both vehicles and pedestrians is considerably easier and we are grateful to Roger Graffy for his generosity in funding the supply and fitting of these gates. We have selected some graves for re-dressing and following the generous do- nation of granite chippings we, have been able to tidy up several graves that had become overgrown. Howard Spring’s memorial has been tidied up and now stands proudly for all to see. The Holy Well has been tidied up also and we have had visitors who have tied ribbons inside the well showing they have visited. A lovely custom. Michael Jeans-Jakobsson has produced a computer programme listing all the headstones and graves in the St Mylor Church and Churchyard. This has al- lowed us to search for graves when visitors have arrived looking for the graves of lost relatives. We have been rewarded with letters of thanks and, in some cases, donations to the Churchyard fund. The team has also grown and we now have a regular team of Thursday “Lay Weeders”. We welcome any help we can get – be it donations of seeds, particularly wild flower seeds, bulbs for spring colour, granite chippings or a pair of hands for a couple of hours. We meet at 10.30 on Thursday mornings – do come and join us as we enjoy restoring a Churchyard where one can find peace and beauty amidst the natural flora and fauna that we encourage. 14 Helen Fletcher Penryn Video Editing Club has been assisting in producing video for many years. Our aim is to demonstrate and experiment with editing techniques us- ing a variety of cameras and software. We cater for members who have either basic or sophisticated camcorders, and for those with little or no previous experience. We provide a computer, DVD player, large flat screen TV, projector & screen plus audio and lighting facili- ties to help us. We are a relaxed group and not technocrats. Members come from all directions, if you have a transport problem, I’m sure we can help. We meet in the Pope room of the Tremayne Community Hall, Mylor Bridge on the first Tuesday of each month at 7.30pm. Do join us! Chris Whitlock 01736 710535 Art Classes are starting again at the end of September,in the Tremayne Hall. Watercolour Painting Courses for both beginners and improvers have proved very popular, often with a waiting list of budding artists. A frequent cry is "I can not draw" so a new 3 session Drawing Course has been introduced,to teach basic skills. Beginners range from those who have never held a paint brush, to those who have had a few lessons and need further help. Improvers are often quite experienced painters looking for new ideas and encourage- ment. Students learn a lot from each other. At the end of the course students usually display their work in the foyer of the Tremayne Hall. Jan Robson, Mylor Studio 01326 375252 University of the Third Age. We are hoping to start a small branch of the U3A in Mylor soon. The plan is to put on a monthly Coffee Morning and a talk of general interest in the Pope Room at the Tremayne Hall. However, we do need someone to assist with the organisation of this, liaising with the Perran- well branch, who are willing to give us help and advice. Val J-J 01326 374767 Parish Outing. Twenty pilgrims from the parish defied the weather to follow in the footsteps of the Celtic Saints of the Lizard. First, it was St. Winwaloe, nestling by the beach at Gunwallow, which charmed us all. Thence to Cury, dedicated to St. Corentin, where a very knowledgable parishioner gave us a wonderful guided tour. We learnt the meaning of a “squint” in these wonderful old churches. St. Mellanus at Mullion was our next stop, following a picnic lunch in a beautiful enclosed garden, by which time it had stopped raining. This is a particularly striking church, with its intact rood screen, and fascinat- ing 15 th century bench ends on 13 th century pews made from Cornish oak. Next to the Lizard church of St, Wynwalloe in the parish of Landewednack, the most southerly church in mainland Britain, which is thought to have been founded in 600 AD, although as with our own church, founded in 411, there is nothing of the present building that can be said with any certainty to date from that time. Our final visit was to Grade church, beautiful in its isolation, but which sadly was not open. Judy Menage Community News and Views (contd.) The Friends of St. Mylor held their Cream Teas on Sunday 22 nd August. This was a sell-out with eighty people attending. Our thanks to Jane & Richard for opening their home to us once again, and to Jane for making the scones - her kindness is much appreciated. I am sorry we had to refuse tickets to some people, but we could not be sure that the weather would hold and we would have to move inside if it rained. I would like to take this opportunity of thank all Committee Members for working so hard and also to Jane and Richard. We look forward to seeing you all at our next event which is a Coffee Morning on 11 th September at 20 Trevellan Road; there will be a cake stall and raffle. Pamela Cartwright, Chairman An Evening of poetry and music in St Mylor attracted a full church. The poems were funny, sad, poignant, thought provoking..... and the music just haunting and atmospheric. Eleanor Maxted’s poems were courageous and striking – and recited from memory. Victoria Field’s were thoughtful, often reflecting her year’s resi- dency at Truro Cathedral. Some of Caroline Carver’s poems were inspired by her extensive travels abroad, but conversely her current position is as poet in residence at Trebah gardens, very close to home. The readings of the poems, each one different in theme and spirit, was inter- spersed with Karen Morse’s wonderfully evocative flute playing. What an inspired combination this was. In addition, the proceeds from this evening total close to £1000 for our Church funds. We are so very grateful to Hazel Car- ruthers for arranging this magical evening. Judy Menage

19 More About ~ Steve Huxley

Steve’s face is familiar to many people in and around Mylor Bridge de- spite the fact that he is not a native of the area. His first career was in the Royal Navy during which, after initial training at the Britannia R N College in Dartmouth, he went on to work with helicopters, including a posting to RNAS Culdrose where he served on Support Helicopters and Search & Rescue (SAR). He came to know and love the surrounding countryside and this influ- enced his later life. Steve left the Navy in due course and, some twenty- three years ago, joined the Coast Guard Service in Swansea. When the opportunity came to transfer to the Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre in Falmouth, he seized the chance and has since served in a variety of roles and gained both experience and promotion. The new name of the service is the Maritime & Coastguard Agency and Steve is currently SAR Communications Manager (& wears four gold stripes on his epaulettes). As part of his remit, Steve travels extensively both at home and abroad, attending conferences and seminars to help ensure that the UK is a major influence internationally. He intends to put off retirement until after the 2012 Olympic Games and to use his skills as part of the security cover for the sailing events in Weymouth among other responsibilities. Steve was awarded his MBE in June this year. Steve and his wife have lived in Mylor for the last eighteen years, sharing quiet weekends whenever possible and pursuing hobbies including sailing & walking. They try whenever they can to support local activities & events and Steve hopes that he will be able to join in more once retirement arrives. Asked about his ideal holiday, Steve mentions Carribean Islands but would settle for anywhere “Blackberry Free”. His idea of food heaven is Indian Cui- sine – the more authentic the better. Food hell for him, he says, is “Anything Vegetarian” but he did ask (with a twinkle in his eye) that this should not be mentioned to his wife! It turns out that the lady is NOT carnivorous!

Saint Michael, angel of the sea, Lord of the horses he, Saint Michael, of the angels king, Of war, of shepherding; On steed he flies across the skies; The first-fruits of the harvest corn, The first-fruits of the flock-lambs born, Are his, he meets the soul forlorn. (Ancient Celtic Poem)
