Jane Tailby ROGATIONTIDE Towards the end of May this year the Church celebrates Rogationtide, coming as it does, between the 5th Sunday of Easter and Ascension Day. Traditionally this was the time to ask for God’s blessing and protection upon the fields and crops at a time when any blight and resulting poor harvest would mean the community going hungry. Now, of course, with our supermarkets and efficient farming we are somewhat removed from that fear, but nevertheless, surrounded as we are by the agricultural life in this lovely area, it is still timely that we set aside a time to pray for our farmers and all those who work on the land. Rogationtide was also the time for “beating the bounds” when, in the days before freely available maps, Google Earth, GPS and the like, it was important for villagers to know the bounds of their own land, so everyone would walk the boundary of their village together. Boys were “bumped” on prominent marks and boundary stones, or even rolled in briars and ditches (!) to ensure they never forgot the boundaries. Although we don’t need to make sure our young folk remember their own fields anymore, this is a good time to give thanks and pray for the place where live and to celebrate a sense of belonging; so important to our mental well-being. Perhaps we should also ask God’s blessing upon those who feel, for whatever reason, that they don’t belong, and do all that we can to maintain and enhance a sense of community where we live. The 17th century poet-priest, George Herbert, said that Rogationtide should be about these things: asking God’s blessing upon the fields, a sense of justice in keeping the boundaries of the fields, caring for each other in walking together as the village beat the bounds, a time for reconciliation and friendship, and a care for the poor by the distribution of charity. All of these in different ways can be so relevant today in our uncertain times, and perhaps this month we can think about how we can put these ideas into practice in our own situations. Rogationtide is one of those ancient festivals that still has a modern resonance today, linking us with the past, but also encouraging us to make its ideas part of our own modern life in a new way. Remembering our reliance upon each other and building community with justice and integrity is as important now as it ever has been, more-so perhaps in our modern, technological, fast moving age. The end of this month is also a special time of focus for prayer in our churches, called “Thy Kingdom Come”, when we are invited to pray for the building up of our community and church, and the call for Rogation prayer seems like an excellent place to start. May this be a particularly blessed Rogationtide for us all. Rev. Jane 7 8 FRIENDS OF ST MARY’S AND ST ANDREW’S THE LENT LUNCHES this year have been a huge success. We would like to thank everyone who supported these. Very special thanks must go to Martin Bolderston, who was there every Wednesday morning to set up the tables and chairs for us. At the last lunch he had to put up yet another table during his meal as more and more visitors arrived. We did appreciate all the man-power help we received from guests too. We also thank Martin Gage, the representative of Christian Aid, who attended the last of the Lent Lunches and gave us an insight in the working of the charity. Subject to any expense not yet claimed, the total collected was the magnificent sum of £1,102.85, which after the charities claim gift aid will yield £1,271.60 !! This way we were able to support the Charities: Christian Aid, "Open Doors in Syria , and The Open Door Church, St. Neots led by our missionaries Graham and Sarah Giles in Zimbabwe, serving in Mazwi Village, Bulawayo. On Wednesday, April 26th we are starting a new and exciting venture: ST MARY'S CHURCH WEDNESDAY WELCOME COFFEE STOP This will take place every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month between 10.30 and 12 noon, when we invite everyone to share good coffee/tea, delicious tray bakes, sausage rolls, scones, fruity flapjacks, brownie and more and especially fellowship with neighbours and friends old and new.

  • The Land Army
    Stibbington Home Front Memories Project – Part 7 Land Army the Woman’s Role THE LAND ARMY The landgirls carried out a vital role on the farms, and for many, coming from factory work or domestic service, discovering the countryside was quite an eye opener! A whole range of new skills were waiting to be mastered. Clearly, in the early days, adaptations had to be made – one article in the Stamford Mercury in November 1939 declares: ‘It Isn’t Done on the Farm Not Fair to Milk With Pointed Nails Advice For Landgirls’ In May 1940, Lady Spencer visited Sacrewell, Burghley Estate and Fotheringhay Dairy and reported just how much the girls were enjoying their work. In January 1942, the first hostel for landgirls opened in Barnack, and the following extracts give a taste of what life was like for them: [PA 30/1/42] [1] Stibbington Home Front Memories Project – Part 7 Land Army the Woman’s Role [PA 30/1/42] A second hostel for 25 Londoners opened in Newborough later that year, and the previously empty Rectory at Thornhaugh was taken over to house another 26 girls. The girls get a couple of other mentions in the press, once when the Barnack Hostel presented Cinderella, ‘a delightful show’, and again when Evelyn Gamble and Maisie Peacock from Thornhaugh were each fined 2s 6d (12½p) at Norman Cross Court for riding two on one bicycle at Stibbington! OTHER ROLES FOR WOMEN Well before war was declared, women were being prepared for voluntary roles. In June 1939, for example, there was a report of a rally of women drivers at Woodcroft Castle, Etton ‘tests in wheel changing and driving wearing a respirator this week, map reading classes next week’ There were calls in 1940 for women who could ride a bicycle to act as messengers for parachute patrols; details of the Peterborough House WiVeS Service were published, encouraging those women unavailable to volunteer for Civil Defence Services who would however be able to offer help to neighbours in their immediate locality in the event of a raid.

  • Chapter 23 the Railways Through the Parishes
    Chapter 23 The Railways Through the Parishes Part I: The London & Birmingham Railway The first known reference to a railway in the Peterborough area was in 1825, when the poet John Clare encountered surveyors in woods at Helpston. They were preparing for a speculative London and Manchester railroad. Clare viewed them with disapproval and suspicion. Plans for a Branch to Peterborough On 17th September 1838, the London & Birmingham Railway Company opened its 112-mile main line, linking the country’s two largest cities. It was engineered by George Stephenson’s son, Robert. The 1 journey took 5 /2 hours, at a stately average of 20mph – still twice the speed of a competing stagecoach. The final cost of the line was £5.5m, as against an estimate of £2.5m. Magnificent achievement as the L&BR was, it did not really benefit Northampton, since the line passed five miles to the West of the Fig 23a. Castor: Station Master’s House. town. The first positive steps to put Northampton and the Nene valley in touch with the new mode of travel were taken in Autumn 1842, after local influential people approached the L&BR Board with plans for a branch railway from Blisworth to Peterborough. Traffic on the L&BR was healthy. On 16th January 1843, a meeting of shareholders was called at the Euston Hotel. They were told that the company had now done its own research and was able to recommend a line to Peterborough. There was some opposition from landed interests along the Nene valley. On 26th January 1843 at the White Hart Inn, Thrapston a meeting, chaired by Earl Fitzwilliam, expressed implacable opposition to the whole scheme on six main counts, from increased flooding to the danger of 26 road crossings, rather than bridges.

  • Peterborough City Council on Council Size to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England
    AB Submission by Peterborough City Council on Council Size to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England 1. Introduction and Background This document sets out Peterborough City Council’s submission to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) on council size. On 21 May 2012, the LGBCE advised the council that it intended to carry out a Further Electoral Review of the council due to a number of imbalances in the councillor: elector ratios resulting in both over-represented and under-represented areas. In eight of the city’s 24 wards the electoral variance is in excess of 10 per cent from the average for the city as a whole and in one ward (Orton with Hampton), the variance is greater than 30 per cent. This submission has been developed by a cross-party group of councillors and has been agreed at a meeting of the Full Council on 10 July 2013. The submission has been informed by: • Briefings provided by the LGBCE to all councillors, including parish councillors and key officers • Current and projected electorate figures • The work of the cross-party Councillors Electoral Review Group, who met on a number of occasions between March and June 2013 The last Review on the electoral arrangements for Peterborough local authority area was carried out by the Boundary Committee for England (BCFE) and completed in July 2002. The main final recommendations of that review were that: “Peterborough City Council should have 57 councillors, the same as at present; there should be 24 wards, the same as at present.” At the time of that review, the electorate totalled 109,100 (February 2001), and was estimated to grow to 117,990 by 2006.

  • Submission by Peterborough City Council on Warding Arrangements to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England
    AB Submission by Peterborough City Council on warding arrangements to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England 1. Introduction and Background This document sets out Peterborough City Council’s (PCC) submission to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) for new warding arrangements following the Commission’s decision on “Council size” to increase the number of councillors to represent Peterborough from 57 to 60 members. The last Review of the electoral arrangements for the PCC area was carried out by the Boundary Committee for England (BCFE) and completed in July 2002. At that time, t he BCFE identified in their final report that “the city of Peterborough can be divided into four distinct urban areas; the southern area (the area south of the River Nene, the western area (the area north of the River Nene and west of the railway line), the eastern area (the area north of the River Nene, east of the railway line and south of Soke Parkway) and the northern area (the area east of the railway line and north of Soke Parkway)”. Clearly, these physical barriers still exist and the Council believes that the principles applied then ought to form the basis of the current review of electoral arrangements (warding). In reaching its proposals, the Council’s cross-party Electoral Review Group’s (ERG) members have considered firstly, the need to give effect to the LGBCE’s guidelines for three-members wards for councils that elect by thirds, as against the existing one, two and three member wards, and secondly, the effects of proposals for new warding arrangements in order to address both the current imbalances in the existing elector: councillor ratios across a number of wards in the City.
