As we look around our world today many people express concern and unease. The media report on war, violence, nuclear arms, famine, mass migration, refugees and terrorist threats. Others experience unemployment, financial issues, breakdown of relationships, pension crises, ill health and death amongst family and friends. How do we react to these events and issues? What do we think are the solutions? As Christians where do we see God in these situations? We are approaching the season of LENT which commences on Ash Wednesday 10th February and lasts until Easter at the end of March. Traditionally the purpose of Lent is the preparation of the believer through prayer, penance, repentance, almsgiving and self- denial. This spiritual discipline draws us nearer to God and enables us to grow more Christ like in our thinking and our actions. This year our Lent Course is based on the Psalms and although written long ago they do help us think through the many issues which are facing us today individually, in our society and in the world. The Psalms offer hope and ways forward for us all. They help us look at how God works, how we can grow closer to God and how we can live a life which reflects God's love. Life is a journey of growth in faith and this course will enable us to think about the many challenges we are facing and what our responses could be. In addition to coming to the Lent course there are other helpful ways to observe Lent and for it to be a time of spiritual renewal and growth. Why not read a suitable Lenten book, there are many on offer; make a commitment to attend the Lenten services in church as the readings and sermons are based on Lenten themes; some find it helpful to give up something as a means of strengthening their will power and commitment; some give the money saved from their giving up something to a charity which is supporting the many disaster situations in the world. Do take the opportunity which this Lenten season provides to reflect on where your life is going and how we can transform our world and support one another in life's journeying. Geoff Pocklington Group of Churches Pastoral Team The Pastoral Team is available to visit the bereaved, those who are ill, the housebound, or anyone who would like someone to talk to .This is an important part of the Church’s ministry and mission but we can only visit those we know about.

It was a Social Afternoon and members enjoyed a glass of sherry, nibbles and cake. There was a Quiz to do and then we had a few games of Beetle. To complete the afternoon Ken Townley read "A Night to Remember" from the book by Gervaise Phinn entitled "A Wayne in a Manger" and a poem by Ruth Burgess called "It's Nearly Christmas".

We would welcome any newcomers who are interested in joining us. We feel our meetings are beneficial and strengthen our fellowship and our love of Jesus. If anyone is interested in joining us please contact Pat Herbert on 303605 6 We need a Nanny State by Rodney Nicholson WHENEVER I hear someone sneer at “Nanny State”, I cry out: “It’s exactly what we need”. We need the wrongly-called Nanny State to save people from themselves, which is what a good nanny does. The Christian faith makes two significant statements about human beings. One, we are made in God’s image; two, we are also sinful. It is because we are sinful, or selfish, or act ignorantly, that we need rules. Few would contest the value of the Ten Commandments. In fact, God gave many more rules in the books of Exodus and Leviticus to protect his people’s wellbeing and safety. God could have left them to their own devices, and not interfered, but out of love he gave these rules for protection. It looks a bit like nannying to me. “Health and Safety” is mocked, but as a member of one of my former churches pointed out, every Health and Safety rule was framed because someone had been killed. I knew a retired farmer who had difficulty in walking because of the chemicals used in sheep dips. These chemicals, now banned, had damaged his nerves. Would we really prefer to abolish industrial regulations and return to the days when workers caught asbestosis? How about wearing car seat belts? Or laws which forbid smoking in buses, trains or practically any indoor area? What about the law which came in last October making it illegal to smoke in a car containing children aged under18? Knowing about obesity and many children’s poor diet, is it not sensible for a government to require soft drinks manufacturers to reduce the sugar content? In heaven we shall be done with rules, I imagine, but we are not there yet.

  • Political Society in Cumberland and Westmorland 1471-1537
    Political Society in Cumberland and Westmorland 1471-1537 By Edward Purkiss, BA (Hons). Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. School of History and Classics University of Tasmania. 2008. This Thesis contains no material which has been accepted for a degree or diploma by the University or any other institution, except by way of background information and duly acknowledged in the thesis and to the best of my knowledge and belief no material previously published or written by another person except where due acknowledgement is made in the text of the thesis, nor does the thesis contain any material that infringes copyright. 30 May, 2008. I place no restriction on the loan or reading of this thesis and no restriction, subject to the law of copyright, on its reproduction in any form. 11 Abstract The late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries have often been seen as a turning point in the development of the English state. At the beginning of the period the authority of the Crown was offset by powerful aristocratic interests in many regional areas. By the mid sixteenth century feudal relationships were giving way to a centrally controlled administration and government was reaching into regional political communities through direct connections between the Crown and local gentlemen. This thesis will trace these developments in Cumberland and Westmorland. It will argue that archaic aspects of government and society lingered longer here than in regions closer London. Feudal relationships were significant influences on regional political society well beyond the mid sixteenth century. This was a consequence of the area's distance from the centre of government and its proximity to a hostile enemy.

  • Revd Arthur T Fisher
    The tragedies and triumphs of a Pocklington vicar and his family Last September’s flower festival was such an outstanding success and that there is virtually no way anyone could ‘follow that’ in marking Pocklington’s part in World War One. But history never stands still; and across the country museums and historians have already moved on to the aftermath of the conflict, looking at the survivors, both people and places. The vicar of Pocklington throughout the conflict, Rev Arthur T Fisher, had a remarkable career in the church, home and abroad, steered All Saints through major improvements, endured tragedy both personal and on behalf of his congregation, and saw his surviving family members go on to make their wide-ranging mark in the post war years. Rev Fisher (pictured right during his time at All Saints) arrived in East Yorkshire in 1908 to become vicar of Pocklington, Ousethorpe, Yapham and Meltonby. He had returned to England from spending five years in the 1870s and early 80s as a Church of England missionary in India, where he got married, started a family, and founded a small church at Jandiala near Amritsar. He had gone out to the Punjab as a young curate, after being a stellar student Cambridge where he gained a first class degree in mathematics. The son of a London banker, he had had an upmarket upbringing in one of central London’s posher addresses, Cadogan Place, the street where William Wilbeforce spent his final years and where future Prime Minister, Harold MacMillan, was born. Rev Fisher, wife Dora, and ten children settled into Pocklington’s ‘old’ vicarage next door to Burnby Hall; and will have quickly established a connection with his new neighbours, the Stewarts – Arthur Fisher had spent the time before ordination as a mathematics teacher at King’s School, Ely, a few years before Percy Stewart became a pupil at the same school.

There are no known copyright restrictions in the United States on the use of the text. http://www.archive.org/details/cu31924084250624 YORKSHIRE INQUISITIONS. VOL. V. THE YORKSHIRE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY- Founded 1863. Incorporated 1893. RECORD SERIES, Vol. LIX. FOR THE YEAR 191 8. INQUISITIONS POST MORTEM RELATING TO YORKSHIRE, OF THE REIGNS OF HENRY IV AND HENRY V. KDITED BY W. PALEY BAILDON, F.S.A., AND J. W. CLAY, F.S.A. PRINTED FOR THE SOCIETY. 1918. PREFACE The present volume contains all the inquisitions post mortem, proofs of age and assignments of dower, relating to Yorkshire, for the reigns of Henry IV and Henry V, that are contained in the Chancery series. That series formerly included also the inquisitions ad quod damnum, which have now been made into a separate class, and are therefore not dealt with here. In view of the very full introduction to Vol. xii of the Record Series, it seems unnecessary to add to this volume any introduction on similar lines. The whole class of Chancery inquisitions post mortem is under arrangement; the documents are now arranged in files numbered from the beginning of each reign. The documents themselves, however, have not so far been renumbered, and still have the old system of numbering, beginning a new serial with each regnal year. It has therefore been thought better not to give the old serial number, in view of a probable renumbering at no distant date.
