On the 5th November we remember those we know who have died, in the service of All Souls at Mudford, with the lighting of candles and the reading out of their names. The next week we have Remembrance Sunday when we remember those who have lost their lives in war. I went to Stourhead recently on my own for the first time, and found that here is a wonderful safe place to walk in peace. Stourhead has, in these years when we remember the First World War, highlighted the life of Harry Hoare. His parents had inherited the estate in a rundown state at the turn of the century. They wanted to return it to its former glory and open it up for the enjoyment of others. World War1 put an end to this with Sir Henry Hoare being made responsible for finding horses for military use. His wife Alda opened the house and estate for soldiers recuperating from their injuries at a nearby military hospital. A lot of the information about the War years comes first hand from Alda's diaries. When war broke out 121 local men joined up and in the first twelve months 16 were killed. Young Harry Hoare served with the Dorset Yeomanry and served in France, Gallipoli and Palestine. In November 1917 he was fatally wounded and died at 29. His parents received the news on Christmas Eve. The Mere magazine recorded his death along with that of Trooper Norman Harding, both noted as only sons and only children. Sir Henry and Lady Hoare dedicated the 20s and 30s to opening the estate to the public and in 1946 it was given to the National Trust. Back to my peaceful walk. I was side tracked into following signs to sculptures depicting the Gallipoli campaign. I managed to get lost and muddy, met no one but found the installations in that beautiful setting quite evocative. All places of war were before and after returned to nature and its beauty. Three funerals happened in the week before I went away and I am reminded of the changelessness of the love of God for everything He has made. Revd. Barbara 01935 850745 CHURCH OF ST.
