Letter from the Rector Dear All, We are living through very difficult days as the whole world suffers in coronavirus. So many have lost their lives and life for everyone is changed. We pay tribute to those who are working so hard to help us through our NHS, Care Home staff all key workers and in every area of life. They receive our gratitude as together we face the challenges of these difficult times as was done in the horror of the conflicts that we remember year by year each November.

Remembrance Sunday is a shared experience from Her Majesty The Queen in Whitehall to every part of the nation in city , town and village and so the names that are read out from countless war memorials are as family because we belong to one another.

We remember the Courage, Valour, Teamwork and Comradeship, Dedication, Endurance, Character and pray for Peace in thanksgiving and with gratitude for all they gave.

The first global conflict was deemed to be the War to end all Wars-a conflict that as we especially recalled last year claimed millions of lives. The peace that descended when the guns fell silent was not to last long and so once again the world was plunged into darkness by one of the most evil regimes that the world have ever know of and that conflict included the horror of The Holocaust as well. The Nazi war machine had to be halted as did the terrible war machine of Japan and although the price was very high in terms of human suffering and loss they were stopped and this year we have commemorated VE Day and VJ Day 75 and as well the 80th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain. As we know war continues to fester and destroy in conflicts since so our remembrance includes all who have given their lives and do so today that the banner of freedom and peace, of justice and equality for all may be held aloft and triumph despite the best efforts of the powers of darkness.

War effects everyone. We recall the anguish and pain, the sadness and distress of those who waved their loved ones and members of community goodbye but we also celebrate the lives of those who kept the home fires burning and who by their labour and industry supported the war effort , those who used their medical and nursing skills to tend the injured in body, mind and spirit here at home just as much as in the field of war.

The Second part of remembering is summed up for me in the words in the words “ When you go home tell them of us and say for your tomorrow we gave our today” We take up the fight with the conviction and hope that sustained them in the darkness and horror that the dream and the hope of a lasting peace is turned into a reality.

A certain Harry S Addison once wrote that the world must be a place of happy homes and laughing children, a world from which fear has been lifted like the smoke pall from an industrial city a world in which we shall look for care worn faces and find none. A world in which parents need not fear that their children will be killed in the next war. A world of lasting peace in heart and home and between nations- a peace that will not be alone the absence of war but the liberation of all our energies in to the creation of a world in which all have a part to play. We best honour those who we remember as we pledge ourselves to always be at the forefront of helping to create that global society.

May God bless us all.

Your friend and Rector Ian.

JULIAN MEETING FOR NOVEMBER

We live in parlous times: the country is in the grip of a vile pandemic which currently shows that it still has plenty of life in it; that has already proved it will not be easy to eradicate so introducing great fear and trepidation of its power. I am reminded of some words of P. J. Kavanagh who wrote;

‘We live in times that are particularly conscious of the hellish nature of the world. We should be aware of suffering, torture, injustice. There are, however, times when our preoccupation with these things, and scepticism about the idea of ‘beauty’, would seem to imply that our forefathers lived in kindergartens and sucked their thumbs, whereas we alone have found the courage to open our eyes and look at the world’…

It may seem as if poetry, the creative arts and the world of imagination, are useless in the face of so much that is evil and destructive; as Seamus Heaney has said, ‘no lyric has ever stopped a tank!’ No; but there are lyrics, paintings, architecture, music, that have stopped a person dead in their tracks, amazed at the work of the human mind and hand and eye; seeing beauty, experiencing momentary wonder that they had never noticed, and enlarging their understanding of what it means to be a person. This is as relevant now, to-day, as it has always been whether during the period of the Holocaust, the years of Communism in Eastern Europe and Stalin’s Russia, and the years of Brian Keenan’s captivity in the Lebanon, all revealing human spirits that are imprisoned but not contained, confined but not held captive.

There is an incident recorded by the Polish poet, Czeslaw Milosz. He spent most of the 1939-45 War in nazi-occupied Warsaw, a poet whose work is filled with childlike wonder at the beauty of the earth now forced to record the terrible anguish of the Ghetto. Crossing a field under heavy gunfire in 1944, just as the Warsaw uprising began, he refused to let go of the one book he held under his arm - T. S. Eliot’s Collected Poems, ‘because I needed it and because it belonged to the Warsaw Library.’ Such people, sometimes in solitude and with no guarantee of recognition, have been true to their vision of what is human and stake out for us the parameters of the human spirit.

So, even in these moments of grappling with an inhuman monster, I strive to make out that partial but authentic vision of God I see in Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of which he speaks. Its language of love is universal; its goal, holiness and community; its building blocks, justice and freedom, compassion, forgiveness and mercy. But if my chief concern has been with what is human that is because there is another area of vision, which I term religious, and which is expressed in the quite common transcendental experiences of life as well as in literature and theatre, music and art.

As Christians, we claim that the capacity to see and to wonder, by giving proper attention to the mystery of people and things in the process of learning to love them, is what it means to be human. Without it we shall have no vision of what it means to live either as stewards of this astonishing creation or as fellow-members of the human race.

So, we all join in prayer, asking God to keep us all safe, to face the future with hope and the compassion to help those in need.

DO YOU HAVE ANY MEMORIES OF OUR LOCAL MISSION ROOMS?

I am carrying out research for a proposed article on Anglican mission rooms in south-west (mainly in the parishes of Malpas, Bickerton, Bunbury and ).

They were set up as ‘outreach’ projects for the parish churches, and to make it possible for those living remotely from the church to attend church services. The three I have identified for this benefice were at Edge (1880-19??), Stockton (1887-1990s) and Bulke- ley (1893-1981). Edge and Stockton were both of the type often referred to as ‘tin taber- nacles’, constructed of corrugated iron. That at Edge still stands, as the annexe to Edge Village Hall (formerly the village school). The Stockton room was demolished in the 1990s and a modern house now stands on the site. Bulkeley Mission Room was a far more substantial building, actually designed by the architect John Douglas (who also designed the famous Eastgate Clock, among many other projects). It still stands, although much altered from its mission room days.

I am exploring as many documentary sources as possible, but I would love to hear from anyone who has memories of attending any of these mission rooms, maybe as a Sunday School scholar. Any photographs or other mementoes of them would also be of huge interest to me.

Malpas Parish Council exists to be the democratic voice of this village and the residents. It consists of 14 elected Parish Councillors - details of who we are and our preferred way of being contacted are given on the next page. Please keep this list for future reference. (There are two vacancies at present).

Our main role is to try and influence key decision-makers for the benefit of our community ... primarily Cheshire West and Chester Borough Council (CWaC) which provides almost every Local Government service in the area, and Cheshire Police.

And we attempt to act as advocates with these organisations, and others, on your behalf as and when this becomes necessary.

The most important Parish Council task at present is our work with CWaC to provide more car parking - we know that increasing congestion on the High Street is a major concern for everyone and we are trying to find a solution for the benefit of both residents and traders. We hope to have a public consultation on our proposals in the near future.

Other matters on our agendas include provision of new bus shelters and the return of Christmas trees and lights despite the current difficulties.

We aim to inform CWaC of our views on every local planning application - but the actual decisions are not made by us and, sadly, our advice is not always followed.

A review of the Malpas and Overton Neighbourhood Plan which helps to shape development was started but now we need clarification of what the Government's latest "Planning for the Future" announcement will mean for the status of this document. We intend to respond in its public consultation to these proposals because the Parish Council is concerned about the possible long-term effects on the village.

Our resources are limited. In this financial year each household is giving us less than £1 a week in your Council Tax payments to raise £27,437 in total. We distribute some £7,000 of this in grants to local organisations to help them enhance Malpas' quality of life. The clerk is paid for 10 hours a week and councillors give their time free.

It would help, therefore, if residents could report problems - for example street lighting, blocked grids, bus delays, dog fouling - to CWaC using the contact details we published in the "Parish News" last month and this month. But please do not hesitate to inform the Parish Council if you are not happy with the responses.

Autumn Planting for a brighter future.

Planting native shrubs and trees in the autumn will have huge long-term benefits for wildlife, climate, air quality and our well-being. One way to incorporate shrubs and trees into your garden or wider landscape is through planting a hedge.

A hedgerow planted with a variety of native tree and shrub species provides vital shelter and protection for wildlife, including nesting birds and hibernating insects. The leaves, flowers, berries, nuts and seeds are sources of food. Leaves also absorb carbon dioxide and release oxy- gen, reducing the effect of global warming and improving air quality. They are im- portant corridors, allowing wildlife such as hedgehogs to move between gardens and open spaces. Hedgerows also act as wind breaks and shade, creating a range of differ- ent habitats for wildlife.

Choosing plants for your hedge When selecting trees and shrubs, choose a mixture of native species, such as hawthorn, field maple, holly and blackthorn. These can be grown with rambling plants such as honeysuckle and wild dog rose to add extra shelter and food for wildlife. Bramble and ivy are important sources of food later in the season, with species such as the ivy bee, Colletes hederae, which uses ivy as its main source of pollen and nectar. Bramble is also a very important source of food for insects, as well as its thorns providing protec- tion and the fruits as food for mammals and birds. The best time to plant shrubs and trees is from November to March, avoiding waterlogged or frozen ground.

Maintaining hedges Once your hedges are established, ideally only cut once every three years, selecting areas of hedge to leave uncut each year. Hedges should not be cut until late winter to ensure that wildlife can use the fruits and seeds over the winter and to allow birds to nest safely during the spring.

For more information about hedge planting and grants that are available for planting community hedges, visit the woodland trust https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/. “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second-best time is now.” (Chinese Proverb). November 2020, Nature Notes: Lucy Witter, PHD Researcher, National Botanic Garden of Wales. 22 24

BICKERTON NEWS

BICKERTON VILLAGE HALL REOPENING

The village hall is open for business again, under Covid-related safety conditions. Some regular user groups are already in operation again and any one-off bookings will be welcome, provided they meet government requirements.

Here's a great new way to make contributions to the Bickerton Village Hall charity at no cost to yourselves!!

If you shop on Amazon, you can ask them to donate 0.5% of your purchase amount to a charity of your choice. I have registered Bickerton Village Hall as one of these charities, so if you want to support us, here's the simple process you need to follow: - Instead of going into Amazon on-line in the usual way, log on to smile.amazon.co.uk. The first time you enter this, you will be asked to register your details and to choose a charity to donate to. Bickerton Village Hall is on an alphabetic drop-down list. - After that, every time you log into smile.amazon.co.uk you will go straight to the normal Amazon shopping screen, but there will be a message saying that when you make a purchase they will be donating 0.5% of the value to BVH or whatever charity you've chosen. - Proceed with the purchase as normal. The donation will happen automatically without you doing anything else, and without any extra cost to yourself.

Clearly some donations will be fairly small, depending on how much you spend, but they will all add up and will help to get BVH through this difficult time. You don't need to tell us if you are making use of this function or not - it is all automatic after your initial registration. Michael Butterworth
