This is the first line of a poem written in about 1200AD and is the first entry in the Oxford Book of English Verse. It recalls for us the pleasure our ancestors felt at the first signs of summer; the cattle turned out into the fields as the grass grows, pleasure in the warmth and the light after the dark and drear of winter and the signs of new life all around. And for many people Easter is among other things an anticipatory thanksgiving for that new life. The poem continues (changed to modern English) thus: The seed is growing And the meadow is blooming, And the wood is coming into leaf now, Sing, cuckoo! The ewe is bleating after her lamb, The cow is lowing after her calf;. It is hardly surprising that for many of us, May is the loveliest time of the year, the sheer freshness of the new growth, the sudden abundance of life having shot up from nowhere, the delicate beauty of the colours of Spring flowers, the hope of a warm summer to come (Deo volente!). Of course we also know that under the seemingly dead soil of winter, new life has been stirring for some time. Rogation Sunday falls in May (the Sixth Sunday of Eastertide) when we give thanks for the new growth and ask God’s blessing on our work in the coming year, our homes and the new crops in the fields. And May concludes with another festival, the Feast of the Visitation, a celebration of growing new life when Our Lady Mary greeted her pregnant cousin Elizabeth (she herself also being pregnant) and we read the baby leapt in Elizabeth’s womb. This event itself celebrates signs new life for the world that will change world history, a new way of looking things, new possibilities. “Look at the birds of the air;” says Jesus “ they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not neither do they spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed as one of these.” (Matthew 6:25-30) At the end of term many of us, while watching the egg-rolling in the school field, were doing exactly that; considering the birds of the air as we watched seven red kites, swoop and glide in the sky above us. There is something magnificent and enthralling and even hopeful about watching these great birds, once so populous in this land and now making such a comeback. There is something too about being absorbed in the world of nature, in the created order that does indeed help reduce our anxieties, perhaps because by being absorbed, we are at that moment living in the present, not worrying about the morrow, which does indeed have cares enough of its own. Sometimes for our own well-being, as Jesus said, we do just need to be captured by the present moment in our lives and enjoy the created order. 7 8 WANSFORD & THORNHUGH CHURCH NEWS The Palm Sunday service on 11 MEN WANTED (ladies welcome too)!

  • 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.

  • Nassaburgh Militia Lists 1762
    3 NASSABURGH MILITIA LISTS 1762 EDITED BY VICTOR A. HATLEY AND BRIAN G. STATHAM INTRODUCTION Series of militia lists for Northamptonshire exist for 1762, 1771, 1774, 1777, 1781 and 1786; there are also lists, some of them undated, for many parishes from the period of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars with France. The series for 1777 was reproduced by the Society in 1973, but unfortunately the lists from Nassaburgh Hundred (Soke of Peterborough) for that date are missing. The only surviving lists from Nassaburgh are those for 1762, and these are reproduced in this volume. 1 The English militia was a force raised for the defence of the realm against invasion or rebellion. It was not liable for service overseas. Under the Militia Act of 1662 all owners of property were charged with the provision of horses, arms and men, in accordance with the value of their property, but this liability was removed from the individual to the parish by the Militia Act of 1757, itself modified by a series of subsequent acts. Each county had now to contribute a quota of men for militia service, 640 in the case of Northamptonshire; elsewhere the quota ranged from 1,600 each for Devonshire and Middlesex, 1,240 for the West Riding of Yorkshire and 1,200 for Lincolnshire, down to 240 each for Monn1outh and West­ morland, and only 120 for tiny Rutland. Responsibility for raising the militia and providing it with officers lay with the lord lieutenant of each county and his deputies. Liability to serve in the militia rested on able-bodied men between the ages of 18 and 45 years.
