Parish of St Giles Graffham with St Peter Woolavington St Giles Church Wardens: Matthew Pitteway 07557 439695 Ginny Barrett 01798 867113 Priest in charge: Reverend Vivien Turner 01798 867199 [email protected] Church website: stgilesgraffham.org 1 Following ‘The Way of the Cross’ It’s been a challenging time, we know. We’re doing what we can to help each other through with kindness and co-operation and creativity and prayer. We continue to learn new ways of doing things. As a church we have streamed and Zoomed and created videos to celebrate our commu- nity. We will carry on until all is well again. Our most recent initiative, running for two weeks from Passion Sun- day to Easter Day, is a ‘Way of the Cross’ in the village. This is a series of pictures telling the story of Christ’s Passion, or journey to the cross and beyond. Travelling from each one to the next, is a traditional way of reflecting on Christ’s sacrifice, in expressing God’s nature as loving and self-giving. The pictures will be displayed in Graffham gardens between All Saints Chapel and St Giles Church, for Passiontide, the two weeks before Easter. We thank everyone who is hosting, as we cannot gather in church just now. Thank you! Short reflections in this magazine accompany the pictures. We hope many people will notice as they pass. We encour- age you to travel the spiritual journey they represent, to remember Christ who shares in every suffering we experience and look forward to Easter joy which will come. I’m reminded of the story of a parish priest standing before a famous painting of the crucifixion with a child. It’s beautiful, she said. The priest agreed it was a very fine work of art. No, she said, what he did. ‘The Way of the Cross’ is not our only way of preparing for Easter. A short reflection begins our Wednesday Zoom Night Prayer* during Lent. Reflections by Richard Bailey on classical works of art are being regularly posted on our Facebook page. A Lent ‘lunch’ prompts reflection on our environmental care. Alongside this, a Parish Eucharist continues to be streamed to our Facebook page on Sundays at 10am and our website too, via our new YouTube channel. This will arrive a little later, maybe 10.30am. We may be a small parish, that doesn’t stop us having big ideas. Every blessing Reverend Vivien *Do request a link at [email protected] if you would like to join Zoom prayer. See stgilesgraffham.org or St Giles Church Graffham Face- book page for our Sunday service and other information, including a pdf copy of this magazine each month. 2 Mother’s Union We found this rather wonderful Mothers’ Union banner in our upper vestry at St Giles Church. The embroidery is lovely so we have brought it out to be seen. It would have been processed around the cathedral on ‘Lady Day’, I expect. The Mothers’ Union is no longer active in our parish, though it is elsewhere. We were glad to support their ‘Away from it all’ ap- peal though, to renovate and replace holi- day caravans offered to families in need, from our Christmas Services collections. It prompts us to wonder when Mother’s Union was part of parish life here. We found a notice listing parish activities from around 1958, with the Mothers’ Union included. There are many activities no longer taking place from this list, interesting to compare with what’s happening now. If anyone knows any more about the Mothers Union in Graffham, do let Reverend Vivien know. 3 Sheelagh Frances Gore Sheelagh passed away on the 10th February 2021 at Pendean Care Home. Much loved and a long standing member of the Graffham community. Loving wife to the late John Gore and for the last 20 years she stepped into the role of mother to Samantha and Annabel and grandmother to Abi, Grace and Elsie. Her amazing sense of humour lasted till the end. 4 Due to Covid restrictions, we will again be holding a Spring Event rather than an Easter Market. As this is the main fundraising event for the Empire Hall we would be most grateful for any donations for the raffle or auction. Please contact [email protected] or [email protected] 07543 670586. Many Thanks, The Easter Market Committee 5 The Empire Hall Spring Event We are asking for donations to go into three hampers: • The Luxury Hamper • The Garden Hamper • The Pamper Hamper Any donations small or large would be most gratefully received in these difficult times. There will be a donation box in the entrance hall of the Empire Hall on Tuesday mornings when the hall is open for the post office. We are looking for food and drink items, all things for the garden; bulbs, seeds, solar lights, garden ornaments or pots, picnic blanket; and anything to pamper yourself with, chocolates, scented candles, toiletries or even vouchers. Alterna- tively, is there something else you could offer? Cleaning someone's car inside and out, an evening's babysitting, dog walking, gardening, an oven clean? We would appreciate anything you can help with. If you are a baker we will also be looking for contributions to sell. We had a wonderful response last year so we hope you can support us again. Best wishes from the Spring Event Committee [email protected] [email protected] Petworth Heritage Virtual Experience Enjoy a virtual experience of Petworth Heritage sites – we have gone digital! We have an exciting ‘Digital Experience’ of places of interest around the town that will bring to life many of the stories about Pet- worth and will be a taster of what is to come in September 2021. We have created a new webpage where you can learn more and find the links to the ‘Digital Experience’. Petworth is fortunate to have over six heritage sites each of which has its own unique story. Most of these are open throughout the year. The founding members of the Petworth Heritage Partnership are Bur- ton Mill; Coultershaw Heritage Site and Beam Pump; Petworth Cot- tage Museum; Petworth & District Community Association; Petworth House – The National Trust; Petworth Society; Petworth Vision; and St Mary’s Church. In the third weekend of September, Petworth partic- ipates in the National Heritage Open days when entry into the sites is free. In the meantime the visual experience with the introduction from Lord Egremont.Regular updates will also be on our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/PetworthHeritageWeekend 6 Natural History Books: My Back Pages I love old natural history books. It’s not just the information they contain. I love the smell, I love the binding. For the past twelve months I’ve avoided Covid anxieties by burying my head in old books, scientific papers and traveller’s journals. I’ve been researching a book of my own, an account of my travels in search of what remains of the world’s iconic extinct animals. A journey which took me from the dark forests of New Zealand to the ferries of Finland and finally to an inflatable crocodile floating on Widewater Lagoon in Shoreham. After spending long lockdown nights writing at my computer it was somewhat surreal to receive an advance copy of my book in the post this morning and to run my hands over its embossed cover. I finally filed it on my bookcase where it rubbed shoulders, and spines, with On The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin and Animal Magic by Johnny Morris. My bookshelves sag with old natural history books. Just holding these tomes transports me to another time. Tucked away inside my battered (but beloved) copy of The Butterflies of Eastbourne (1928) by Robert Adkin is a map which I always unfold eagerly as if I’ve discovered the concealed directions to some long-lost buried treasure. Indeed, in the book Adkin describes bounteous butter- fly riches which could be found in the woodlands and downland coombes between Lewes and Eastbourne. You can almost hear Rudyard Kipling whisper of “Something lost behind the Ranges. Lost and waiting for you. Go!” At the time many young explorers answered the call and Adkin claimed that “almost daily during the summer, one meets small armies of schoolboys each armed with a butterfly net”. Perhaps Adkin’s eager Eastbourne entomologist army had been inspired by another of my favourite books. The Outdoor World (1900) by William Furneaux aimed to distract children from “victimising their schoolmates” and give them “a taste for something better”. Back in 1900, it seems pinning butterflies and collecting birds’ eggs fell into the ‘something better’ category. Furneaux encour- aged young naturalists to make ‘killing bottles’ in which they could dispatch butterflies and instructed children to ask the local chemist for some cyanide. The chemist will, Furneaux assures you, sell you cyanide if “he is satisfied with your intentions”. Although it all sounds rather macabre now, this popular book went on to inspire a generation of young naturalists (and probably one or two aspir- ing Dr Crippens).

Built, we understand, in around 1650 with later additions in the 19th and 20th centuries. The property is arranged over two floors with the principal access to the ground floor being on the eastern side of the property. In practice, an entrance on the south side into a boot room then into the kitchen beyond tends to be used on a more regular basis (an alternative entrance is located on the northern side of the house providing direct access from the driveway). The traditional family kitchen features a gas and electric fired range cooker and leads to a utility room located to the rear of the house. The remainder of the ground floor features two charming reception rooms in the form of a dining room and a sitting room with inglenook fireplace housing a log burner. There is a large storage area, cellar and walk in larder. To the first floor are four double bedrooms, a family bathroom and separate WC. Of particular note are the two bedrooms to the rear of the property which both enjoy enchanting views over the garden and the South Downs.

In the face of the challenges and anxiety generated by the coronavirus, Lancing is still echoing with the sounds of a Lent Term rich and strange. College life altered radically as the impacts of the coronavirus were felt and ultimately, like all schools, we were subject to early closure. However, even amidst all the anxiety and disturbance, my abiding memories of these weeks are of remarkable solidarity and positive energy from every quarter. There was a heightened desire to relish and to share every opportunity and as the days unfurled there was a great deal to celebrate, from packed final League Run races to the ever-competitive and eclectic House Music Competition. As we moved to lockdown pupils and teachers alike embraced the prospect offered by technology to learn together in new and exciting ways. One of the great joys of school life is that, amidst their worries, the adaptability of young people and their willingness to adopt the new and the different are so strong.

  • The Musical Welcome Legally Blonde, This Term’S Musical, Provides the Pinkest Quad Cover on Record As Well As the Rosiest of Glows in the Recollection
    Lent Term The 2019 QuadLANCING COLLEGE MAGAZINE LEGALLY BLONDE The Musical Welcome Legally Blonde, this term’s musical, provides the pinkest Quad cover on record as well as the rosiest of glows in the recollection. A confection of the lightest sort, this was a witty romp through Lancing College early noughties US culture and had cast, crew and audiences alike tapping their feet with the fun and vigour of it all. Just Senior School & Sixth Form watching was an exhausting experience and that so many of those participating were also part of the flourishing House Music Competition (which yet again had hundreds of high-quality entries) and the Lent Concert, whose crowning glory was a full performance of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony is testament to the fantastic energy and commitment of all the students. In fact, a real sense of get-up-and-go is evident in every sphere of Lancing life this term, be that in sport, charitable fundraising (for some reason each new initiative is announced by the students with a flourish of truly terrible puns), the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme, or any of the other myriad activities and initiatives enjoyed each term. Contents However, that wholeheartedness is perhaps most evident in the sheer range of intellectual endeavour undertaken here – and a real 4 College News excitement about learning too. As you can see in these pages, be it the innovations of the Heresy initiative, the huge range of science 7 Heresy Project 2018–19 and engineering projects, our Medics’ Society (the envy of many 8 Focus on Science another school), or playful mathematical explorations, the spirit of 10 Languages at Lancing intellectual questing is absolutely alive and kicking in the College.

  • Lancing Prep Hove Newsletter
    Lancing Prep Hove Newsletter A Lancing College Preparatory School Autumn Term | 30 September 2019 Diary Dates & Notices are on Page 9 Message from Mrs Keep Master Samuel J has done a great job in summarising his experience of the school while it was in his care, and I would like to thank him for having been an excellent Head Master. A particular highlight for me was his meeting with the Bursar, Mr Milling, at which they discussed, among other things, the balance between the school providing equipment for the children, and the children taking responsibility for their own possessions. Mr J agreed with Mr Milling that by Year 5, our pupils should probably arrive at their lessons with their own pencil cases full of what they need. Perhaps at this stage of the year this offers a timely reminder for all the children to check that they have what they need, including a blue and a green ink pen, so that they are ready for each lesson from the get-go. In awards assembly this week, we talked about not only the scores at the end of the matches but also the children’s sportsmanlike conduct for the duration of their fixtures. Since our last newsletter, children from LPH have competed Samuel J - Head Master for the Day! in 38 fixtures – an astonishing number – and while I love to celebrate their wins, I am even more proud when I can celebrate their conduct. My thanks to all the parents who help to set the same examples in their support from the sidelines.
