Dear Reader
We have many wonderful, local contributors to our magazines, which each month, kindly take time out of their busy lives to write for us. Our local history contributor, Phil Tate will Cheryl unfortunately be stepping down in a few months time and we would love for someone as passionate about our local history to take his place. If you think you, or you know of someone that would enjoy writing about Highcliffe’s local history then do please get in touch, as we would hate to lose one of our most popular articles. The ever-popular RNLI Mudeford funday will be taking place again this month. This event has probably been one of the longest running ‘fundraisers’ in the area, supporting your local lifeboat and beach lifeguards. As a thank you to the local RNLI Team for all their efforts I have included them on the front cover and a small editorial to encourage you all to support this great charity. Until next month,

Local History
by Phil Tate
- Harriet Susan Fitzharris
Of the many memorials in the Priory Church the monument to Harriet Susan Fitzharris, who died exactly 200 years ago, is undoubtedly one of the most delicately sculptured and touching. This is her story... In 1806 James Edward Harris, the eldest son of James Harris, the 1st Earl Of Malmesbury, married 22 year-old Harriet Dashwood. She thereby became Viscountess Fitzharris. The couple set up home at Heron (Hurn) Court. However, less than ten years later tragedy befell James and his young family. In 1815, while the country was still jubilant after the final defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte at the Battle of Waterloo, Harriet suddenly fell extremely ill. She died 14 days later on 4th September, aged only 32. It is believed that she suffered a ruptured appendix. Her epitaph, written by her husband, declares that ‘So fully prepared was she at all times for another world, that the sudden and unexpected approach of death could not disturb the sweet serenity of her mind’. He recorded that his wife’s last words were: “I have had my full share of happiness in this world.”
Harriet was initially interred alongside other members of the Harris family in Salisbury Cathedral, where her black marble memorial can still be seen in the floor of the north transept. However, in 1821 her remains were reinterred in a crypt below her monument in the Priory Church. James (who in the previous year had succeeded his father to become the 2nd Earl of Malmesbury) had requested that the crypt be converted into a mausoleum for his family - as it still is to this day. James Howard Harris, the eldest of the three sons represented in the monument, later became the 3rd Earl of Malmesbury. In his Memoirs, written in 1884, he recalled: ‘My father lived at Heron Court for ten months out of the twelve, inconsolable at the death of our mother... and for twenty-six years during which he survived her he mourned her with the same sorrow. Until his own death in 1841, not a plant in her garden or a trinket in her boudoir was ever moved or changed.’ Harriet’s memorial is located on the south side of the quire near the altar.
Harriet’s memorial was created by John Flaxman, one of the most accomplished sculptors of the age. He began as a modeller for the famous pottery of Josiah Wedgwood and rose to be the first Professor of Sculpture at the Royal Academy. However, he became most renowned for his funerary monuments. One of his major works is a neo-classical memorial to Admiral Lord Nelson in St Paul’s Cathedral, which was in progress at the time of Harriet’s death. Flaxman also championed a campaign for the British Government to purchase the Elgin Marbles, a collection of classical Greek sculptures and stone carvings now on display in the British Museum. This collection was named after the 7th Earl of Elgin, who had controversially begun removing them from the Parthenon and other sites in Athens at the start of the century - reputedly to save them from further decay. The debate over the rightful ownership of these sculptures continues to this day. A preliminary sketch for Harriet’s memorial, now held in the British Museum, shows that Flaxman had considered creating a relief panel before deciding to design a freestanding sculpture. He made pencil studies of the three children - James, Edward and baby Charles - to ensure that he rendered them as naturally as possible. The finished sculpture, being a half-scale representation of the boys being read the Holy Scriptures by their loving mother, was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1817. 6 • Highcliffe Eye • August 2015

Courtesy of www.findagrave.com The Malmesbury crypt is thought to be one of the earliest parts of the Priory Church and may even be a remnant of the former Saxon church. It was possibly the final resting place of some of the de Redvers family, the Lords of the Manor throughout the 12th and 13th centuries. In 1863, James Howard Harris, the 3rd Earl of Malmesbury, became the Lord of the Manor of the Borough; the heart of the ancient Manor of Christchurch. In 1899 he too was buried in the family crypt alongside his mother and father.

Adopt a Pet CAN YOU GIVE BARNEY A LOVING HOME? Hello I’m Barney a 6 year old Beagle cross looking for a forever home, as my old owners, due to personal circumstances can no longer look after me. I am a very affectionate boy with lots of energy, typical of my breed, so will need lots of exercise and socialising as I don’t get on with some dogs at the moment. Although I’m looked after very well here at Waggy Tails I really, really would love to live in a home again where I could have lots of fun with my new family and enjoy our time together.

The annual RNLI Mudeford Funday event takes place this month on Sunday the 9th August.
This event is about having a great day out with the community and raising lots of money to help support our local Mudeford Lifeboat and Lifeguards.
For those of you that haven’t been residents in Christchurch for 20 years I thought it might be worth writing about the origins of this event.
It first started out as a Trawler race many years ago (more than 25 years) where all the local commercial fishing boats would race out through the run plough through the sea to a big red buoy about 1000mtrs offshore and race back home again! It was not unusual to see black smoke pouring out of the engine bay of one or two trawlers as their engines blew up!As the fishing fleet declined and the cost of repairs increased the event started to fizzle out.
About 20 years ago the Raft race was first kicked off to help raise funds and a smaller event with a few RNLI stalls manned by volunteers, perched on the main Quay area, Collecting donations and raising money to help fund the new Lifeboat station you see today. I can still remember attending both the Trawler race and the first raft races of that era. Today’s event has grown beyond all recognition from those days, The works of arts that are now presented as ‘Rafts’ are a testament to the teams that spend hours designing and building them. Of course we still get the 6 barrels, three planks and 200ft of rope, type as well! All are welcome. We expanded on to the grass area of the quay about 6 years ago, more than doubling the size and number of stalls, add the additional events, Duck race, Air display, Music and other entertainment and we have a full day to keep everyone having fun.. The planning for this event takes almost a year and keeps the committee members fully engaged.
I often get asked about the fairground rides and stalls, Charles Cole who provides most of the rides has supported this event for over 18 years and is still the largest single contributor to the money raised on the day on top of donating fencing, power and almost anything else we ask him for! So please attend, have fun and feel free to spend/donate to the RNLI Mudeford Lifeboat!! By Kim Skinner (S.M.)

The summer is rushing by far too quickly. We’ve all been busy down at The Arcade and are pleased that there are now a full Helen complement of shops running through, following the new arrival of Trinity Chiropractic. We are still anticipating some other arrivals, the eagerly awaited sewing and craft shop and a beautiful new shop selling gorgeous accessories and homeware and furniture, both will be a great addition to the High Street bringing some variety and a touch of glamour!
Think shutters have to be square?
The holidays are almost here and the village is starting to feel busier with the summer visitors. We’ve had some lovely warm evenings and it’s been great to see people out enjoying the beachfront and sat outside eating in the sunshine. I even ventured into the sea, which wasn’t as breathtakingly cold as I’d imagined! After five minutes it was almost quite enjoyable. One of the great things about working in the High Street is being able to walk five minutes to the beach and plop into the sea, how incredibly lucky we are. I’ve been following Society 23’s facebook page, our very own fitness and nutrition centre in the heart of Highcliffe. They offer pilates, yoga and personal training sessions and I had a nose around their lovely coffee and juice bar during the food festival and I have to say what a great set up it is, very welcoming with a great programme of activities. Anyway, I see they have morning and evening boot-camps on the beach, what a perfect way to get fit right on our doorstep. I’m planning on joining them in August and now I’ve put that in print I guess I’m committed! Friday evenings now also have something else to offer in Highcliffe, with the Blue Sky Deli running themed foodie nights, they’ve had slow roast pork and Italia themes so far and I have to say judging by the glorious cooking smells wafting down the Arcade, the food was to die for. Booking is essential as spaces are limited but great fun for you and your stomach. Get out and enjoy your High Street and all it has to offer!

Business Column It is good to see three new initiatives boosting the attraction of Christchurch High Street this month. The first is the introduction Peter of an Art and Antiques Market on the second Sunday of each month over the summer. This means the high street is closed off to give way to a number of arty, bric-a- brac and antiques stalls. I visited on the first Sunday it was held and with the high street car-free and uncrowded, the sun shining and the street cafes open, it produced an attractive and gentle way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon - and a boost to the local shops that were wise enough to open. If you are at a loose end on the second Sunday of a month, I recommend a visit. The second initiative is from a collective of independent traders who have agreed to keep their shops open until 7pm on Thursday evenings during August. A great idea and at the time of writing at least 25 shops and cafes have signed up. I fear it may take a little while for the knowledge of this to sink in to the local psyche, so I do encourage you to support it. And the third initiative is delightfully lighthearted. Some of you may remember that over the Christmas period a pop-up Alpine Bar appeared in an empty shop in Saxon Square for a few weeks. Although Christchurch has remarkable few empty shops, that unit is still vacant and it is being turned into a Caribbean theme bar for the summer - sounds too much fun to miss! These are the kind of enterprises that Christchurch needs and let’s hope that with some good weather and the support of both visitors and locals, the town centre will have a good Summer season.

Christchurch Blue Plaques by Stephen Roberts No. 7 - The Old Tolsey
Here’s a conundrum, a plaque for a building that no longer exists and one we don’t even have a picture of. Welcome to the Old Tolsey. It’s plaque number 9 on our trail and is on the corner of High Street and Millhams Street. So, what do we know? Well, the plaque says a previous town hall once stood here. From Medieval times (c1150) until the 15th century, this was the old corporation’s ‘hub’ until a replacement arrived at the Market Square (junction of High Street and Castle Street). The first mention of an earlier municipal building called the ‘Old Tolsey’ is not until 1572, when its town hall days were already over. This was a deed concerning a tenant, so it was now a dwelling. He was a tanner by the name of ‘Nutkyn’. All very Beatrix Potter. ‘Tolsey’ meant literally toll house (for the market). There might have been a collector based here who took market dues. It can also refer to a merchants’ meeting place or ‘exchange’, which also makes sense. Millhams Street was once called Meeting House Lane apparently. The site of the Old Tolsey was strategic, for it is believed Millhams Street was once one side of an important crossroads in the centre of town. Check out Wareham, another ‘Alfredian’ fortified burgh, and there is the crossroads in the middle. Good old Saxon town planners eh? The crossroads probably connected the Mill Stream with what is today the Druitt Gardens and beyond to Creedy Path. It is suggested this provided a ‘cattle
20 • Highcliffe Eye • August 2015
drove’ from the market to Creedy Fields. The crossroads has been lost in the High Street’s changes. The Old Tolsey is lost to us too, of course, demolished in Stephen 1788. We know the dwelling was then ‘rebuilt’ by Mary Gumm, she and Elizabeth Gumm being agents for the ‘Salisbury Journal’, established in 1736. In the 1840s the replacement building was home to the Ginn family, Martha a schoolmistress and Mary a milliner (hat maker). An old building like the Tolsey had to have a smuggling tale, of course, and it is alleged there was a link between the roofs of the hall and the Ship Inn next door, assisting in the transfer of contraband. Once its days as a town hall were done, the Tolsey had a mix of tenants live there. There was a brazier (maker of brass articles), mercer (trader or merchant), clerk and shoemaker. It is the tanner who interests me though. If he carried out his tanning on this site, it would have been a smelly spot at the best of times, especially if dog muck was used in the process (it was excellent for softening leather apparently).

Highcliffe-on-Sea Rotary Club Kids Out Rotary Charity - June 2015
100
95 Over the years, volunteers from Rotary clubs around the UK Mike 75 have provided thousands of children challenged with disabilities to get out of the classroom for a fun day with teachers and carers. This year, 25 years after the first Kids Out held in 1990, 25 from we set off on a sunny day in June with children Highcliffe Primary, St Marks & Highcliffe Infants School, on a gentle ride to Paulton’s Park. 5
A luxury coach provided from the generous funds raised by Highcliffe Rotary Club throughout0 the year, collected the scholars, some with wheelchairs from their respective schools and drove them through the New Forest to Paultons Park at Rownhams. Wide smiles could be seen on the faces of the Rotary volunteers as squeals of delight and laughter were heard resonating around fun rides and roller coasters from children and a few of the brave adults who accompanied them on the many invigorating, sometimes hair-raising rides before lunch.
By noon the children were ready to take a break from the many activities, and gathered in groups, quietly enjoying the packed lunches provided, at picnic tables or gathered on the cool grass. There was something for everyone to enjoy on the Kid’s Out Charity Day, and all looked completely satisfied when the time came to meet up and head back to the coach for the return trip to join their schools in time to go home.
Kids Out would like to take this opportunity to100thank the Rotarians who offer their time, help and support in order to bring fun and happiness into the lives of disabled and 95 disadvantaged children throughout the UK.

Exploring Lesser Known Christchurch
‘The Christchurch we know today is one of the most beautiful towns in England and was proudly taken over by Dorset in the county boundary changes’, so said author Harry Ashley back in 1985 in his book Explore Dorset. This sentiment hasn’t changed much, and even today is inspiring new authors. One such is Steve Roberts, a well-known local writer and speaker, who has published his first book, Lesser Known Christchurch.
In it, Steve delves into a side of Christchurch you might not know, with commentary from local people to give a personal, insiders’ view of things. It’s rather like having your own personal guide. Steve lives in Christchurch and spent two years researching and writing the book. He explains:
‘The book includes interviews with dozens of local people – fishermen, artists, a herdsmen, young people, even a local clown – which give a real insight into contemporary Christchurch and explains why it’s such a vibrant place. I also devised six original walks to help people explore some special places and quieter areas.’ Like other Lesser Known guides in the series published by Dorset books specialist Roving Press, the book will appeal to locals as well as visitors. It takes you on a personal tour to reveal the quirkier side of Christchurch.
On Thursday 6 August, 5.30 – 7pm, the book is being launched in the Lady Chapel of the Priory. Enjoy drinks, nibbles, presentations, and chance to buy signed copies at a special price in the beautiful setting of the Priory. All welcome. The book will then be available in local outlets and direct from the publisher (www.rovingpress.co.uk, tel 01300 321531), priced £11.99.

TUCKTONIA: THE ‘GRAND MET’ YEARS Written by Alex McKinstry
A useful marker, when gauging where the Tuckton Golf and Leisure Park used to be, is the line-up of flats in Fairway Drive, which feature in most surviving postcards of the site. These were put up on a former strip of Corporation land, still zoned for allotments when Harry Stiller snapped it up in 1959. Under a deed of variation, however, dated 28 May 1968, Christchurch Council assented for sixty flats to be built along this stretch, in five blocks – the work being carried out by the Fairway Construction Company, of which Harry’s father was a director. Unfortunately these flats were to cause numerous headaches for Harry and his successors in the years that followed. The main problem was the Fairway Drive Residents’ Association, ‘a group of people,’ says Harry today, ‘whom I could never understand – they chose to move into flats overlooking a fun park, then did nothing but complain about the noise.’ An early focus of their complaints was the 35-ft. giant slide or ‘Astraglide’ which Harry introduced to the leisure park in 1972. Three years later, when Harry sold the site to Grand Metropolitan, the new owners repositioned the slide to reduce noise levels – whereupon the residents put in a fresh complaint, saying it was spoiling their view of the river. These gripes and quibbles never really went away; a later owner told me the only fun he ever had with the residents’ association was when one of their representatives walked out of his office in a fury, then got stuck in the revolving door. Grand Met owned the leisure park for eight years, and it has been claimed that – possibly on account of these objections – they tended to underinvest in the site. This was not initially the case; when the Astraglide became unusable, due to fibreglass protruding through the surface, the company replaced it with a six-lane, Disneyfied version (which ended up at the Rotunda Amusement Park in Folkestone). The company also developed new models for Tucktonia, the site’s miniature landscape, touting it – correctly – as the largest in the world, with over 200 models spread out over four acres. 26 • Highcliffe Eye • August 2015
The photos here show Tucktonia’s tallest structure, a 26-ft. replica of the Post Office Tower, being lowered into place on 9 May 1978. The site had become so packed by that stage that it had to be winched into position, a Lynx helicopter from AAC Middle Wallop doing the honours. The model cost £7,000 to make and was fitted, like its life-size counterpart, with navigational warning lights and a rotating ‘restaurant’ section that moved at a rate of eight revolutions per hour.
Grand Met eventually despaired of the site for three reasons: high maintenance costs; limited room for expansion; and a general shift of perspective in the company, which tended to focus more on its pubs and hotels as the 1980s wore on. This last point was confirmed by Bob Hazell, the site’s latest managing director, when Grand Met put the site up for sale in 1983. The park was ‘a one-off’, he told a stunned public; it ‘does not fit in with our current operations’. Later, it emerged that Grand Met had been looking to sell the site to developers. Fortunately, a £1.25 million rescue package was waiting around the corner. Alex McKinstry’s The Village of Tuckton, 35,000 BC – 1926, is now available at £8.95 a copy.

Teen Column It’s summer!!!!! No school until September, which means we don’t have to get up early, we can wear pj’s all day and we don’t have Laura to do any school work! This summer is going to be great. Most of my friends and I have jobs so we have saved up some money and we plan to all go out for a big day. Now that we are a little bit older we can do more things without adult supervision. I have no doubt that I will be spending a couple of nights sleeping round my best friends’ house. I say sleeping, but that’s unlikely as we go to bed but end up chatting for hours! If you’re going to a party/sleepover then you always need sweets; Christchurch has lots of places to buy sweeties, two of my favourites are The Sweets Emporium and Mr Simms Olde Sweet Shoppe. Between them they have everything you could ask for. My favourite sweets are rhubarb and custard which I always buy from Mr Simms as they have all the best traditional sweets and for great prices. The Sweets Emporium has more ‘modern’ sweets such as lots of American candy like twinkles. It’s hard to pick a favourite so instead I choose both!
This month I hope to go to the Christchurch Carnival weekend which is on the 15th and 16th of August. Both days are different so if you can, try and go along to both. On the 15th there are fun and fireworks on the Quay and on the 16th the Carnival Procession is leaving from the car park at the back of the Civic Offices at 2pm then finishing on the Quay. There is music throughout and profits are split between local charities. Another event I hope to attend is the RNLI Mudeford Funday on the 9th August, always guaranteed to be a great day with so many things going on but my favourite has to be the Raft Race. The spotlight always seems to be on the losers rather than the winners and is so funny to watch! Again, all money raised goes to local charities so you have a fun day out as well as doing a good deed!

Mum’s the Word If you see a pink babydrinking bottle floating around Christchurch in the river, it’s ours.
Recently, I took advantage of having just one of our four Natasha children with me and took her on a lovely walk around the Priory, with a little cake to feed the ducks. After seeing mummy throwing food to the ducks, obviously this little lady thought it was best to copy mum and lob the one thing in her hands to the birds too, her bottle. I considered jumping into the river to retrieve it, but instead we just watched it float away whilst my daughter then sobbed uncontrollably. Lesson learnt? I doubt it.
We then accidentally participated in the library’s ‘Rhyme Time’, which they hold every Tuesday 10.15-10.45 and is completely free. I had heard of this session before but never actually been, but as the library got busier and busier with lots of little people and a lady then started singing ‘the wheels on the bus’ I thought we should stick around and see how it goes. It was a massive success, it seems someone other than mummy singing nursery songs is very enjoyable and for older ones they had some colouring in after as well.

So, as we hurdle into summer, I have been looking for some different activities for my eldest daughter, one I came across was a creative writing class 100 taking place in Christchurch run by Chantelle Atkins. The class is called Chasing Driftwood and 95 is for 7-16 year olds and I believe there maybe an adult one happening too! For any details contact 75 chanatkins@hotmail.co.uk I’ve also booked her onto a sailing course run100 by Hengistbury Head; they offer a big variety of sailing 95 25 and watersport short courses, from age 7 upwards. Lastly, and a little off topic..I must try to say 75 5 thank you to a very kind lady who handed in a lost birthday present to our local school, it was my 0 daughters! This lovely lady took so much time and trouble to track us down but I don’t know who you 25 are! So hopefully you are reading this and know how much I appreciate it (as does my very happy 5 four year old). What kind, lovely people we live amongst. Enjoy your summer, and don’t forget to 0 keep an eye out for my water bottle...

HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW? 10TH-16TH AUGUST IS NATIONAL ALLOTMENTS WEEK
During World War II and immediately afterwards, almost everyone with a garden grew fruit and vegetables. Food was rationed so people supplemented their diet with produce they’d grown in their own back garden, or down on their allotment. To me the very word ‘allotment’ evokes memories of my granddad and post-war community spirit. During the 1960’s allotments began to go out of fashion and continued to decline in popularity until very recently. As a society we were more affluent; more likely to buy what produce we needed from the local supermarket, and vegetable gardening just wasn’t considered sexy! There’s an old saying: what goes around comes around, and it encapsulates perfectly the fate of allotments which are currently enjoying a popularity surge. Suddenly we’re concerned about food in a big way. The number of food banks is growing as families struggle to put even the most basic provisions on the table. There are concerns about additives and pesticides on shop-bought fruit and veg, while the cost of organic food puts it out of the reach of the masses. And what about all those thousands of foodmiles our strawberries and courgettes clock up on their journey to the supermarket shelves? Surely that’s damaging the environment. Then there’s the thorny problem of childhood obesity. The list of foodrelated concerns seems to be growing exponentially. In the absence of clear leadership from the top, many of us are taking matters into our own hands, deciding to emulate our grandparents and grow our own food.
42 • Highcliffe Eye • August 2015
Yet modern housing often means tiny back gardens and frequently no front garden, so where are we going to grow all this lovely produce? The answer of course is to acquire an allotment and many people are doing just that. To join them simply approach your council. Price and availability varies around the country. In some areas there are waiting lists. But councils are taking allotments much more seriously and many are actively seeking to provide new sites. If a plot is too large for your personal needs you may be able to rent half or find a like-minded friend to share it with. Enquire today and you and your family could soon, quite literally, be reaping the benefits!
Allotment Benefits Diet You can harvest fresh, organic, fruit and veg Economic You’ll save loads of money growing your own

INGREDIENTS 4 chicken breasts, pounded to ½ inch thickness 1 tablespoon mediterranean seasoning (you can substitute Italian seasoning in a pinch) 1 red pepper, thinly sliced ½ red onion, thinly sliced 4 pitas (this is a Greek-style flatbread you can find at almost any grocery store near the bread and tortillas or in the bakery) optional: lettuce, feta cheese crumbles TZATZIKI SAUCE ½ English cucumber, peeled and diced 2 cups cold plain Greek yogurt 4 teaspoons minced garlic 1/3 cup chopped dill, fresh or frozen (may sub 2 tablespoons dried dill) 1½ Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice (juice of ½ medium lemon) ½ tsp salt, or to taste 1/8 tsp black pepper INSTRUCTIONS Puree all sauce ingredients in a blender or food processor (see note below recipe first!). Cover and chill until ready to serve. (If you have time, make this a few hours in advance or the night before so that the flavors can marinate). Season chicken breasts with mediterranean seasoning. Cook in a large skillet or pan over medium heat 5-6 minutes on each side until cooked through. Cut into strips. Lay pitas on a clean surface. Add lettuce (if desired, chicken, red pepper strips, and onions. Top with tzatziki sauce and feta (if desired). Fold pita over like a sandwich, or roll it into a “tunnel shape”. IF YOU ARE SOMEONE WHO LOVES THICKER DRESSINGS AND SAUCES, SIMPLY SQUEEZE AS MUCH WATER AS POSSIBLE OUT OF THE CUCUMBERS BEFORE YOU PUREE THE SAUCE.

All Saints Church, Thorney Hill is a gem of a building located on the edge of the New Forest. It was built in 1906 by the Manners family and contains an outstanding example of an Arts and Crafts Movement mural, painted by the artist Phoebe Anna Traquair. There are also important examples of work by Eric Gill which make this a unique little church.
POLARITY THERAPY Making a difference to life A wonderful, simple yet effective, gentle hands on therapy treatment for relief of:
Sadly in 2013 lead was stolen from the roof of the church and this has created the need for a restoration project which is being driven by a small group of volunteers calling themselves the raise The Roof Committee.
