We have fallen in love with the cosy rented stone cottage with its low ceilings, open fire, followed by Harvest Lunch. whistling draughts and cheeky midnight biscuit-munching mice. The harvest was late there; the familiar tracks of combine and grain trailer seemed out of St Paul’s Church, Gorefield place as they tipped and turned over hills and vales, whose contours paraphrase the nearby th breakers.

  • Parsons Drove Guide
    your church tour A thousand years of English history awaits you The Churches Conservation Trust is the national charity protecting historic churches at risk. We’ve saved over 340 beautiful buildings which attract more than 1.5 million visitors a year. With our help and with your support they are kept open and in use – living once again at the heart of their communities. About St John’s St John’s is a typical Fenland church, lying beside the long straight B1166 road, close to where the counties of Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk meet. In Fen country horses and cattle were driven along roads or tracks called ‘droves’; Parson Drove was one of these. Originally the village was a chapelry of Leverington, known as Leverington-Parson Drove, but became a parish in its own right following the Leverington Rectory Act of 1870. This created the two parishes of Parson Drove and Southea with Murrow. Access Due to their age, historic church floors can be uneven and The small community was one of the last villages in worn, and lighting can be low level. Please take care, England where woad – an organic blue dye used in police especially in wet weather when floors can be slippery. Church of uniforms – was produced commercially.

(Heerenveensche wedstrijden Winter 1890.) Pim Mulier, Wintersport III Voorbericht. ‘Wintersport’ is een bescheidene poging van schrijver dezes om aan de Nederlandsche beoefenaars van ijsvermaken hetzij een beeld uit het verleden voor den geest te roepen, of hun iets nieuws op dit gebied mede te deelen. Daar het formaat van dit boekje aan zekere grenzen gebonden is, zijn de voor ons belangrijke evenementen het breedvoerigst besproken en is de geschiedenis der ijssport in de andere landen meer globaal behandeld. Ik heb bij dezen tevens het genoegen mijn hartelijken dank uit te spreken aan hen, die mij de noodige gegevens verstrekten. Zoo in de eerste plaats aan den Heer Ary Prins voor zijne hulp bij de samenstelling van het hoofdstuk Figuurrijden en door de mij verstrekte bizonderheden omtrent den Duitschen Bond. In de tweede plaats zeg ik den Heer K. Pander mijn besten dank voor den tijd, dien hij heeft willen geven aan onze gesprekken over ‘vooroefeningen’, gesprekken waaruit wij beiden de hier te Pim Mulier, Wintersport IV boek gestelde conclusies hebben getrokken. Ook den Heer Holst ben ik dank verschuldigd voor het tijdelijk afstaan der oude jaargangen van Ned. Sport, terwijl de Heer E. Smit te Glasgow mij omtrent de reglementen van ‘Curling’ en de Heer C.G. Tebbutt gegevens voor den Engelschen Bond verschafte. Ook Jhr. E. Barnaart, Herman Kolff, (Rotterdam), Jhr. W. Barnaart en Binnert Overdiep te Heerenveen boden mij de behulpzame hand door het tijdelijk afstaan van photographiën en manuscripten.

  • Dear Mr Rosen the Current Discussion Around the Closure of Welney
    Dear Mr Rosen The current discussion around the closure of Welney School offers a unique opportunity to offer a prototype of the highly successful Dutch education programme. In the past the Fens looked to Holland for knowledge and experience in land drainage in order to bring the area back to life and we should now be looking at the education system and use their knowledge and experience to preserve the Fenland Schools like the one in Welney which could become a rural education hub for the country and surrounding areas if managed in the correct way. The school has been lacking strong management and all that is needed is passionate leadership to recapture interest to breathe life back into the school the happiness and confidence of the pupils is already clearly apparent I hope you will find the time to read the attached letter and appendices and give due consideration to what is potentially a disaster in the village if the school is closed. The Ouse landscape Partnership is making great strides to encourage and underpin the preservation of the fenland rural culture and the closure of the school would be another negative nail in the coffin of the fens Yours sincerely 14 October 2015 Dear Mr Rosen Re: William Marshall School, Welney This area of the Fens is a tribute to the legacy of Sir Peter Scott’s vision promoting conservation alongside the guardianship of country crafts and techniques. Welney is a renowned centre for ice skating and provides the area with one of the best natural ice skating rinks in the country with the National Ice
