Charity of the Month Our regular ‘Charity of the Month’ is on hold during this period and we would instead ask people to support The Food Cupboard. Ann Gibbs says “I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has donated over the lockdown. The support has been amazing!” During the Covid 19 Pandemic it has been impossible for us to arrange our usual collections in church safely. However, many of our charities have suffered badly and so we are asking that if you are able to give you consider the following Charities:- Children’s Hospice South West Little Bridge House, Redlands Road, Fremington, Barnstaple, Devon, EX31 2PZ 01271 325 270 [email protected] St Margaret’s Hospice Phone: 01823 333822 or 01935 709480 Email: [email protected] St Margaret's Taunton Hospice Address: Heron Drive, Bishops Hull , Taunton, TA1 5HA The Disasters Emergency Committee You can donate online or post a cheque to: The Disasters Emergency Committee, PO Box 999, London, EC3A 3AA All donations should be made payable to DEC Coronavirus Appeal Thank You The Charity Committee Letter from Rev’d Ann Gibbs, Dear Friends, Recently I visited one of my sons who lives in Cornwall. We had a socially distanced picnic and I was there for just a few hours but our conversation was dominated by the changes that COVID19 restrictions have brought to both our lives, not least being separated for many months. He is a student but works as a chef to help make ends meet and of course has had to adapt to new guidelines there too. Whatever our walk of life, wherever we are, we have all had to accept that the current situation has changed the way we live and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. In the last week or so I have had conversations about how we might best do services for harvest and Christmas, if restrictions are still in place. It is probably better to assume that they will be and work from there. What I have noticed though is the number of people who have mentioned Christmas and have been quite negative - “It won’t be the same if we can’t have carols”, “It isn’t going to be much of a Christmas” etc. Well it may be different but I think we have to find positive ways to celebrate and mark special days in the church year and maybe start some new traditions. We have to think creatively and look for the opportunities in this strange new world and try not to spend too much time looking backwards, regretting what we cannot do. It isn’t easy but we are already making small steps forward. The church is open again on Sundays and services will soon be at the times we are all used to. We are now allowed to have a small choir, even though the congregation cannot yet sing. Bit by bit we can hopefully ease restrictions and do a little more, but it will take time and it does feel different. However challenging all this is, most of us have already made the most radical change in our lives. That is the change we made when we decided to surrender our lives to Christ. When we become a Christian we invite God into our lives and if that doesn’t change the way we live nothing else will! It is a change we all wanted to make but it then involves being obedient to God’s will and perhaps taking paths that we didn’t expect. The good thing is that, with God in control, we can be sure that all will be well. The same thing applies now - God is in control and we just have to trust in Him. Whatever the challenges He will hold us and be with us. May God bless you all, Revd. Ann CHURCH PATH COFFEE MORNING th on Saturday, August 29 Despite the wet weather on the days preceding the Church Path Coffee Morning, on the day itself the sun shone, and it was very uplifting to have this annual event take place; the first event to take place since the lockdown began, and hopefully a sign of a light at the end of the tunnel. Many thanks to Marilynn and to all Mothers’ Union members for all their hard work. 50 ways to beat covid-19 Don’t hop on the bus, Gus, Stay away from the pack, Jack, Sneeze into your sleeve, Steve, To keep virus free. Stop touching your face, Grace, Stay back to six feet, Pete, Keep washing yours hands, Stan, And heed CDC. Don’t visit your Gran, Jan, Wipe down every toy, Roy, Don’t hoard all the food, dude, Please buy sensibly. Just use some Purell, Mel, Keep wipes near at hand, man. Don’t listen to John, Don – you don’t need more TP! This isn’t a break, Jake, Stay home if you’re sick, Dick, Just follow the rules, fools, And stay virus free! RINGING MATTERS (by Nicholas Kingdon) Retirement of John Sparks After many years as Porlock Church Tower Captain, John Sparks has decided it is time to ‘throw in the rope’ and retire. We are very sorry to see him go, but understand that he feels the time is right, and he has certainly given many years of service to the church as the solid, dependable Tower Captain that he is. John learnt to ring in the 1950s at the time the Arscott family were ringing in Porlock. He was certainly a glutton for punishment as he also played in Porlock Town Band with them, and the ferocious Harry Arscott was bandmaster! When John married April and their children were born, John took a break from ringing until his family grew up. It was at the death of Princess Diana, in 1997 when John came up to have a ring in her memory, that he decided to return and once again become a regular ringer. From that time he has been the most supportive and dependable ringer and friend we could ever have wished for, and his easy temperament and good humour have made our tower a very happy and welcoming environment for all. When we sadly lost Michael Hayes-Davis about fifteen years ago, John stepped up to the plate and has been a very committed and reliable tower captain ever since. He has certainly helped and supported me a great deal in the past in different ringing situations and in quarter peals, and in his understanding and patience when work and family commitments have made me a lot less reliable than I would actually wish to be.

    Hans Holbein at the Court of Henry VIII

    Holbein at the Court of Henry VIII • The talk is about Holbein’s life in England and the well known personalities at Henry VIII’s court that he painted. • Figures such as Thomas Wolsey (no portrait by Holbein), Thomas More, Thomas Cromwell, Richard Rich (drawing), and Thomas Cranmer (not by Holbein) figured prominently in Henry's administration. • I discuss Holbein’s style by comparing his drawings with his paintings. • And, finally, I look at the many puzzles presented by The Ambassadors. Notes The Tudors (1485 -1603) in brief: • Henry VII 1485 – 1509, Henry Richmond, descendent of John of Gaunt, defeated Richard III at Bosworth Field in 1485. Married Elizabeth of York uniting the two houses of York (white) and Lancaster (red) as symbolised in the white and red rose he adopted. He was a skilful politician but he is often described as avaricious although this did mean he left a lot in the treasury for his son to spend. • Henry VIII 1509 – 1547, he married Catherine of Aragon (his brother’s widow and mother of Mary) but Henry annulled the marriage to marry Anne Boleyn (mother Elizabeth) who he beheaded for alleged adultery. He declared himself head of the Catholic Church and married Jane Seymour who died after giving birth to Edward. He then married Anne of Cleves but the marriage was annulled and she survived Henry the longest. He then married Catherine Howard who he beheaded for adultery and finally Catherine Parr (her third husband) who outlived him and married Thomas Seymour (who grew up in Wulfhall) whose brother was Edward Seymour, Lord Protector of England during the first two years of Edward VI’s reign.

    Flooding in West Somerset: Overview of Local Risks and Ideas for Action

    FLOODING IN WEST SOMERSET: OVERVIEW OF LOCAL RISKS AND IDEAS FOR ACTION A discussion document by the West Somerset Flood Group June 2014 The West Somerset Flood Group WHO WE ARE We are a group of town and parish councils (and one flood group) actively working to reduce flood risk at local level. We have come together because we believe that the communities of West Somerset should have a voice in the current debate on managing future flood risk. We also see a benefit in providing a local forum for discussion and hope to include experts, local- authority officers and local landowners in our future activities. We are not experts on statutory duties, powers and funding, on the workings of local and national government or on climate change. We do, however, know a lot about the practicalities of working to protect our communities, we talk to both local people and experts, and we are aware of areas where current structures of responsibility and funding may not be working smoothly. We also have ideas for future action against flooding. We are directly helped in our work by the Environment Agency, Somerset County Council (Flood and Water Management team, Highways Department and Civil Contingencies Unit), West Somerset Council, Exmoor National Park Authority and the National Trust and are grateful for the support they give us. We also thank our County and District Councillors for listening to us and providing support and advice.

    Strike Slip Faulting in Somerset and Adjacent Areas

    H. C. Prudden STRIKE SLIP FAULTING IN SOMERSET AND ADJACENT AREAS S. SALMON Prudden, H.C. 2005. Strike-slip faulting in Somerset and adjacent areas. Geoscience in south-west England, 11, 158-161. The presence of strike-slip faulting in Cornwall, Devon and Dorset is well established. There is now a growing body of evidence that strike-slip faults are to be found throughout Somerset as shown by faults and joint patterns. There were major dextral strike-slip movements during the Variscan Orogeny. Later movements have affected the Jurassic and Cretaceous formations and possibly Palaeogene rocks. Strike-slip faulting has implications for field mapping, the development of landforms and the quarrying industry. 2 Yeovil Road, Montacute, Somerset, TA15 6XG, U.K. (E-mail: [email protected]). INTRODUCTION examples of these structures. Shearman (1967) reported Strike-slip faults have long been noted throughout evidence for NNW-SSE Tertiary fault movements in north-west SW England cutting the Variscan basement (Devonian and Exmoor. Likewise similar dextral and associated NE-SW Carboniferous), granite plutons (Permian) and post-Variscan sinistral strike-slip faults have been reported in Dorset. For sedimentary successions. Dearman (1963) inferred that example, the 20 km-long Poyntington Fault, east of Sherborne, NNW-SSE trending dextral strike-slip faults in Devon and is interpreted to have a post-Jurassic dextral offset of some Cornwall largely originated as Variscan structures that were 3 km. Thickness variations on either side of the fault suggest reactivated during mid-Tertiary shortening of the Alpine that it was active during sediment deposition (Bristow et al., orogenic foreland.
