TEAMWORK I want to say how much I appreciate the amazing commitment, hard work and real achievement of the Worship and Ministry Team. They are the people who preside over Morning Prayers and the Family Services at Uplyme and Axmouth churches. These are key services in our rhythm of worship. The idea is that a team of people preparing over a period of time can produce an act of worship which has a message and spiritual dynamic that would be impossible if every service was dependent upon the vicar rushing from church to church to lead. Having run the system for 5 years, it is very clear that the quality of our worship has improved beyond recog-nition. We owe the Worship and Ministry Team a big ‘thank you’ for all that they do. As so often, for every hour seen taking services in church, the team mem-bers spend five in preparation beforehand. Part of this preparation is a monthly meeting at the Rectory when we pray, consider a passage from the Bible together, receive teaching, and ‘sharpen up’ each other with shared ideas and resources. It is an important time of fellowship and en-couragement. This is also the time when Gill McMenemy double checks the service plan ensuring that all is secure and everyone is happy. Gill is the king-pin without whose ministry we would not be able to operate as we do. We are very grateful indeed to Gill for her vital and unique minis-try amongst us. Recently at our Team meetings we have been considering the rich theol-ogy contained in the Book of Common Prayer. It has been a fascinating and enlightening journey. If one was to flick through the weekly Com-munion readings – “the Collects, Epistles, and Gospels to be used through-out the year” – it soon becomes apparent that the Anglican Church is based upon clear seasonal differences. Not all churches are like this. Some recognize Christmas and Easter but place little emphasis upon Ad-vent, Epiphany, Lent etc. The Anglican seasons are based upon the life of Jesus and reflect the rhythm of change in our lives. This makes our wor-ship relevant. For instance, we all know the uphill times in life when we struggle and labour. So, the six weeks of Lent can seem long and arid until we experience the joy of the risen Christ at Easter. Of course the longest season of the Christian Year is the one we are in now: Trinity. This centres on the fullness of God Himself. We can only know God’s salvation through Jesus Christ. He lives as the Son who died,

5

taking upon Himself the penalty for our sins, and rising to secure our fel-lowship into eternity. Wow! Our Father in heaven created each of us spe-cially for this eternal purpose in relation to Himself. But such is the way-wardness of the human condition that all this can seem remote: Except we hear the inner voice prompting an awareness of our desperate need for God. And the Holy Spirit stirs our consciences and we search to find the Christ He illuminates. One God: Spirit, Son, Father. This is the marvellous truth of the Christian God, the Holy Trinity. There will always be an element of mystery in the Holy Trinity. This is important because, ‘who can understand God?’ The quest is part of the journey in faith. It will continue as we realise more and more our small-ness and His incomprehensibility. In this journey there is no room for ar-rogance or human assertiveness. Rather it demands meekness and humil-ity: Love for the neighbour whatever his/her creed. The Christian creed accommodates that! But within it we truly can know the extraordinary truth of a dynamic relationship with almighty God. This we can be confi-dent of. In this we have deep rooted assurance. No wonder Trinity is the longest season. What a privilege it is to worship this God together.

Seasons Greetings, Jeremy

ROYAL BRITISH LEGION WOMEN'S SECTION Pat Day chose her homeland for the Mystery Tour, taking a coach load of members and friend to St Fagans National History Museum, near Cardiff. I was unable to go but heard that everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day out. With plenty to do and see of '500 years of Welsh history gathered together in 100 acres of beautiful country-side'. Blessed with lovely weather, it was a very successful outing - how can Pat beat it another year? A reminder for members (and others): we are running a stall at the Horticultural Society Show on July 29th and welcome bric-a-brac, etc for sale. Ursula Everett

Christian Aid Week 2006.

Absolutely Fantastic, Thank you.

A very big thank you to those who contributed money, prayer and action against global poverty during Christian Aid Week. A particular thank you to our house-to-house collectors. We have collected £1,058.44. Of this £512.05 was gift aided and we believe this means an extra £143.37 will be added by the Inland Revenue. This figure of over £1,000 surpasses the £800 raised last year. This is a fantastic effort, thank you again. Now that it is over, please keep you prayers going for all those who suffer from global poverty and because of your generosity Christian Aid will be doing its bit on our behalf to help alleviate it. If anyone missed the collection and you wish to make a donation, well it’s never too late, feel free to contact us. Margaret and Mark Trafford. 01297 443252 www.christianaid.org.uk

The Reredos

We have a very striking Reredos behind the altar which of course is visible to the congregation, especially when they come up to receive communion. But it is possible, indeed even probable, that many people have never examined it closely and may not know the significance of its details. So here is a brief description and expla-nation of its contents. The Reredos was given in 1943 to the memory of Hilda Parke who died in 1943, aged 80. She was the widow of Alfred Watlington Parke, a much loved Rector of Uplyme and grandson of Charles Wickstead Ethelston. Ethelston was Rector for 48 years, Parke for 36. Between them they served Uplyme for 84 years’ ministry, an impressive record. Hilda Parke was the mother of Wilfred Parke, pioneer aviator, whom we commemorate in a fine window below the pulpit. But to return to the Reredos, which was given by Mrs Williams, daughter of the Parkes. An inscription at its base read To the beloved memory of Hilda Winifred Parke 1863-1943, widow of Alfred Watlington Parke Rector of Uplyme 1883-1919. “I was glad when they said unto me, we will go into the house of the Lord.” Made of richly painted wood, the Reredos stands three feet high by eight feet wide. It is a very striking piece of art, faintly reminiscent of Early Netherlandish or Flemish paintings. One thinks in particular of van Eyck or Memlinc. There is a perforated frieze of Tudor roses at the top beneath which are eight kite-shaped shields (of which more later). Between these shields are three niches in which stand on the left St Peter and on the right St Paul, patron saints of Uplyme Church. The figure in the centre of Christ is faintly reminiscent of the painting by Hubert and jan van Eyck in Ghent Cathedral of the Mystic Lamb painted in 1425. In the centre of the top panel sits Christ in majesty. Christ is a young bearded man wearing the triple tiara who blesses the world with his right hand while carrying a glass sceptre in his left. His gorgeous red robe is sumptuously embroidered and embellished with magnificent jewels. At his feet there is a crown. Compare that with our Christ. He too is a young bearded man, say 33 years old. He too blesses us with his right hand. In his left he carried not a sceptre but an orb with a cross on top, symbol of his rule over us all. He is wearing a rich red robe with a superb gold cloak and gold slippers on his feet, which rest on a pedestal. Behind his crowned head there is a halo with a cross superimposed thereon. The statue is both benevo-lent and awesome. St Peter on his left like Christ is wearing a red robe with a gold cloak, which is not quite so extravagant as Christ’s garments. He has a simple halo behind his white-haired head as he looks straight at us. Of course, as the Guardian of the gates of heaven, St Peter carried two large silver keys, his emblem. In his left hand he carried a book. What would that be? A Bible or his Epistle? On the right of Christ stands St Paul, our other patron saint. He too carried a book, the Bible or his numerous Epistles to the Romans, Athenians, Colossians, etc. St Paul is wear-ing what looks like a white cassock with a gold overmantle. In front of him he holds a sword which is his emblem. So much for the figures. What of the eight shields? Starting on the left, we have a shield with three gold balls. St Nicholas of Myra in Turkey saved three girls from prostitution by throwing three bags of gold into their room at night. As a Bishop he would have been

9

robed in red. So he became the origin of Father Christmas and Christmas presents. His three balls were appropriated by the Medicis in Florence as their family crest, to say noth-ing of the use made by pawnbrokers at a later stage outside their shops. The relevance for Hilda is that she and Alfred had another son called Nicholas. The second shield is the cross of St George, a flag which flies over our church every Sun-day and which has become all too familiar during the World Cup. The third shield shows crossed keys and a sword, the emblems of St peter and St Paul, but also the shield of Exeter Cathedral, the seat of our Bishop and Diocese. The fourth shield has a pair of gold crossed keys, emblem of St Peter. The fifth shield shows the crossed swords of St Paul. The sixth shield is the crest of Canterbury in whose Province we lie. The blazon (technical heraldic description) of The Arms of the See of Canterbury is: Azure, an Archiepiscopal staff in pale argent ensigned with a cross paty or, surmounted by a pallium of the second, fimbriated and fringed or, and charged with four crosses paty fitchy sable.' To put that into ordinary English: The background is blue. The main object visible is a Y-shaped 'pallium', part of an archbishop's vestments: this is white, edged in gold, and decorated with four splayed black crosses with pointed feet. Behind the pallium (and partly hidden by it) is an upright silver archbishop's staff, its head formed of a splayed gold cross. The seventh shield depicts a female saint in a white dress with a halo standing in front of a crossed sword and mitre. In her left hand she holds a head. Who is she and what’s the story? Winifred lived in the seventh century, a niece of St Beuno. Legend has it that she was pestered by the unwanted attentions of a chieftain’s son, Caradoc. When she repulsed him, he struck off her head with a sword, whereupon the earth opened up and swallowed him. St Beuno restored Winifred’s head to her shoulders. Brought back to life, she lived the remainder of her day as a nun in Wales. Of course Hilda Parke’s middle name was Winifred which accounts for the attribution to this improbable story. The final shield on the extreme right is a puzzle. It is a crest – In the top left quarter are two stags passant, and another one occupies the bottom lefthand quarter. In between are three doves diving. Top right is a bee and two birds and below a castle on a blue and red background. Whose crest is it? The Parkes? Alfred Parkes’s school crest? Further re-search will have to be made. Beneath all this are stylised lilies, the emblem of the Blessed Virgin Mary Jack Thomas

Diana, Out and About No More…….! Diana Shervington has advised us that due to a “slowing body-clock” she is no longer able to write a regular piece for the magazine. We are so very grateful for the articles Diana has written for us over the years, keeping us all informed of what’s happening to the flora and fauna around the village. Her regular column will be sadly missed, but she has promised to send in the occasional item of interest, which we will very much look forward to. Thank you and God Bless Diana. Ed

As one long waving sleeve, he dips Soft neck, blue eyes and orange beak Deep into waters where the magic sleeps Now up, now down, in hieratic bliss. Gives them the dark caress they seek, Then lifts that giant arm, weapon and grace, To shake a rain of diamonds on the grass. Can one describe superb as these ablutions. This royal pomp as a mere daily wash? The liquid phrase, the lovely repetitions? His squawks are murmurs now. He sings Then with one huge triumphant splash Enters the pond and beats his wings 'I am the goose of geese, the king of Kings'. Mary Sarton

Uplyme Brownies

Another busy term for the Brownies is underway with places left by older Brownies leaving quickly being taken up from our long waiting list.

We started the term with a walk around the footpaths and glen identifying wild flowers and plants, and working on our Environment Badge. Several weeks were very busily taken up making masks and costumes for the Vil-lage fete and procession. Our chosen theme being ‘Treetops 1952’ and the various wild animals the future Queen may have seen there. We also had our usual stall with children’s Lucky Dip, face painting and Tombola – thanks to everyone who donated or helped in any way, especially Alistair Sinclair who kindly donated all the plants for our Brownie garden outside the village hall.

No time to rest on our laurels, as the weekend following the fete we had our Pack Holiday weekend away, which this year was further afield at Dudesbury Guide Camp near Wimborne. This year, following on from the fete, our theme was ‘Africa’, with the girls in ‘tribes’, cooking around camp fires, singing African songs, making African crafts and getting rather wet carrying water in buckets on their heads!

We’re looking forward to the summer holidays for a rest!

For further details on Brownies please contact - Chris Edwards on 01297 445213.

The wisdom of the not-so-young-anymore 1. I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it. 2. My wild oats have turned into prunes and All Bran. 3. I finally got my head together; but now my body is falling apart. 4. Funny, I don't remember being absent minded... 5. If all is not lost, where is it? 6. It is easier to get older than it is to get wiser. 7. It's hard to make a comeback when you haven't been anywhere. 8. Only time the world beats a path to your door is when you're in the bathroom. 9. If God wanted me to touch my toes, he would have put them on my knees. 10. These days, I spend a lot of time thinking about the hereafter...I go somewhere to get something, and then wonder what I'm here after!

STOPPING YOUR COMPUTER’S IRRITATING FUNCTIONS (and I don’t mean its noisy late night parties for all its friends)

If you read last month’s magazine, your computer should now be speaking English, rather than having a Texan drawl and beginning to develop a more amena-ble personality. However, according to which version of Windows you have and how your computer was originally set up, it might still be trying to assert its authority by insisting on some irritating automatic functions, such as including unasked-for capital letters and American style dates. TURNING OFF AUTOMATIC FUNCTIONS (e.g. capitalisation of letters)

From the main menu in Word: Tools – click on AutoCorrect options to open the AutoCorrect English (UK) window – click on AutoCorrect tab – check/uncheck as required. Only change these default settings if they really annoy you, as they can often be quite useful. Furthermore, if you have Windows XP, when an automatic function occurs, you will notice a blue line under the amended text. If you hover over this, a ‘lightning’ type symbol appears with a black arrow –

click to get a sub-menu which gives you the option of accepting/amending/refusing the automatic change. STOPPING AUTOMATIC HYPHENATION From the main menu in Word: Tools – down to Language – across to and click on Hyphenation – check/uncheck options as required and/or click on Manual for manual hyphenation option. TO CHANGE DATE SETTINGS From ‘Start’, go to & click on Control Panel – (Classic view, not Category view) – click on the Regional & Language Options icon – select the Re-gional Options tab – if English (United States) is showing, click on the little black arrow & select English (United Kingdom) – click OK.

Report on Uplyme Parish Council Monthly Meeting held on 14th June 2006 Planning

Applications refused by East Devon District Council Windfall, Rocombe Bottom. Agricultural general store replacing existing pole barn.

Applications Granted by East Devon District Council Byeways, St Marys Lane. 1st Floor extension. Lyme Wood Retirement Home, Woodhouse Lane. Demolition of old garage, con-struction of new one on same site. Applications dealt with by Planning sub committee The Old Nurseries, Rhode Lane. Erection of new dwelling. Refusal Recom-mended. Ocklynge, Yawl Hill Lane. Demolition of bungalow and garage/carport and erec-tion of replacement chalet bungalow with integral garage. The proposed develop-ment is close to the hamlet of Yawl. The application is for a site in an elevated position and can be viewed across the valley from Woodhouse and St Mary's (both local beauty spots in the AONB). The Parish Council has no objection in principle to the replacement of this bungalow, however it wishes to see a cottage style front elevation. The Parish Council recommends the following:1.The removal of the glass frontage to be replaced by windows as recommended in the Design State-ment Section 4. 2.The weatherboard to used should be a choice of dark green, brown or black with roof tiles in keeping with the rural area, preferably grey slate. The Parish Council recommends approval with the above modifications. Land at Burrowshot. Retain access works and embankment. The Parish Council has consistently recommended refusal on a number of applications which have threatened this area of open countryside within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The Council is therefore cautious about an application which lacks clarity on its purpose. Whilst the need to provide an enclosure to gather sheep is under-stood, the banks created do not provide a stock proof enclosure suitable for this purpose. The Parish Council recommends the following 1. A clear undertaking the enclosure is for agricultural use only and not for general storage 2.The banks are planted with suitable native hedge plants. Unless these conditions can be imposed the Council recommends refusal. Kenley, Lyme Road. Replacement Extension. No objections. Approval recom-mended Smokey Hole, Cathole Lane. Erect Conservatory. No objections in principle but a majority of councillors would prefer the conservatory to be constructed of timber without the block and render base. Approval Recommended. Elton, Lyme Road. Replace kitchen window with timber french doors and upvc door with timber window and removal of internal walls in kitchen area. No objec-tions. Approval recommended Other Planning 20 Barnes Meadow. Appeal dismissed re felling of 1 Sycamore tree Contd…..

…...Contd Children’s Playground The first phase of the playground is now complete and it is to be officially opened by the Lyme Regis town crier at the village fête. Affordable Housing The open day resulted in 8 people registering an interest which is sufficient to prove a need in the parish for affordable housing East Devon District Council Concessionary fares scheme The Parish Council is far from happy with the way the scheme has been introduced allowing travel only within East Devon and to Exeter and Lyme Regis. Many people in Uplyme have to travel to Bridport or Dor-chester for medical/dental visits and the previous half fare scheme allowed them to do this. The Parish Council will be lobbying very strongly for Bridport and Dorchester to be in-cluded. Parishioners who also feel strongly about this are in encouraged to write to Mr Mark Williams, the Chief Executive of East Devon District Council to express their con-cerns.
