This was the legendary land of Robin Hood. The whispering woods were charmed places, seemingly serene but where violence and death could suddenly strike. Even kings were not immune as William II, a redheaded tyrant, discovered at his cost – shot dead by an arrow while hunting. The laws of cruel kings drove people to seek
refuge in the greenwood where the only habitations were occasional charcoalburner’s hovels. Until Saxon times bears lumbered through the trees and beavers dammed streams. Wolves were wiped out by royal decree. Toxteth Park was a royal hunting forest, surrounded by a fence and teeming with deer and wild boar. As the population grew the trees were felled. The land needed to be farmed to feed England’s growing communities. Wood was required for houses and fuel. Slowly the forests dwin-

dled and the roads and lanes multiplied. Villages were settled and some grew into towns and towns into cities. Liverpool started as a manor farm on the banks of the Mersey, spreading out to engulf villages that were far older. The hunger for
first-class timber to build warships saw the end of the remaining native f o r e s t s . Shipwrights demanded oak to build the new n a v y. Huge amounts were needed – all the prime oaks in one county were felled continued on page 4

HEARTS OF OAK by Stephen Guy
continued from page 1 to build a single galleon. The felling of the ancient oaks reached a high point in the time of Elizabeth I when England was threatened by invasion. Little more than 30 of her warships scattered or destroyed the huge Spanish Armada. In Calderstones Park visitors get some idea of the atmosphere of the forests that once covered
the land. The Allerton Oak (pictured) has been a source of wonder for countless generations after somehow escaping the axe. Other trees are mere saplings compared to its impressive presence. Oaks can thrive despite all manner of infestations and damage. Its huge branches are supported by iron poles, the trunk hollow and crumbling – yet it lives on and on.
It is said to be over 1,000 years old and may have survived felling because even 500 years ago its trunk was so split and battered it would not have provided a single plank. • Learn more about the history of Liverpool at the Museum of Liverpool, Pier Head, open 10 am to 5 pm every day, admission free.

Sarah has been singing since the age of ten and studied musical theatre at Liverpool Community College. Her real passion is to sing on stage in the West End and whilst working as a waitress she awaits her big break. Presented by The Rotary Clubs of Birkenhead and Liverpool, organisers had been searching for singers from the age of eighteen to enter the competition, with auditions held earlier this year. The panel of judges included Billy Butler (Radio Merseyside), Laura Davis (Arts Editor of the Liverpool Post), Stephanie Guidera (a previous finalist and member of the Monteverdi Choir) and Glyn Môn Hughes (musician and journalist). A wide variety of well-known songs were selected by entrants, providing a spe-
cial evening’s entertainment, which also featured the awardwinning Wirral Community Choir. Competition organizer, Rotarian Graham Connolly, commented; "This is one of the best finals in my twelve years of organising singing competitions and featured ten superb soloists." The event was formerly presented as a Liverpool Rotary Merseyside young singer event, providing experience of the audition process, which has led a number of past entrants into singing careers. *Sarah has pledged to donate her prize money to the following charities; Liverpool Pals Memorial Fund Monument to the memory of the men and boys who volunteered at the start of the Great War; Shoeboxes for Afghanistan; The Lord Mayor’s Appeal.

STRANGE TALES

It was the same day in, day out – the remorseless grind of preparing meals for the large and demanding household.
Originally there was just architect Mr Hamble, his wife Mary and baby Doris along with two other servants at the large, neat villa in Woolton. More babies followed and by
1902 there were 10 extra mouths to feed including additional staff. By then Agnes had a kitchen maid to help her but the never-ending work over the big iron
range sometimes became a living nightmare. There were lighter moments, however. Digby the young coachman was guaranteed to lift everyone’s spirits with his

“It’s only cupboard love,” she told him good-humouredly. “You’d dance to a different tune if there was no food to colour your feelings.” Digby’s tragic death shocked everybody. He was driving the carriage alone down the steep hill in Beaconsfield Road
when the horses shied, the conveyance lurched and he was rocketed into a tree. Digby died instantly. The voice started a week after his funeral. Agnes kept preserves such as jams, marmalades and pickles in a large, wallmounted cupboard next to the basement

window. Late one evening she stretched up and opened the cupboard, reaching for some damson preserve. A first Agnes thought the echoing whisper was the cooing of doves in the eaves. She listened intently and realised it was a man’s voice calling from far away. Then she recognised Digby’s distinctive boyish tones but his voice was sad, horribly sad: “It’s very cold here and I’m so hungry.” Agnes grabbed the jar and slammed the cupboard door with a thud, dismissing the experience as imagination. The next evening the eerie voice loomed again: “I’m chilled to the marrow. I need hot food – feed me.” Not quite knowing why, Agnes went to the kitchen and smothered a large portion of treacle pudding with hot, steaming custard. She put it in the cup-
board and closed the door. Within seconds she heard the slurping of voracious eating. An empty dish, licked clean, greeted her the next day. “Feed me,” the hollow voice ordered day after day and Agnes complied as if under a spell. Then came the deathly utterance: “I’m cold, cold as the tomb. Get me one of my shirts.” She obeyed and left it neatly folded on a shelf. Agnes was not prepared for what happened the next time she opened the cupboard. As she nervously turned the handle, the doors were pushed open from within. She ducked. The cupboard was bare and the empty shirt sprang out as the voice bellowed: “Give me a cuddle!” • Read my next Strange Tale – Mask of Innocence – in the August Link.

Courthouse was not a court in the modern sense – there were no lawyers and the squire acted as steward. The Courthouse represents a vanished way of life long before Britain became a propertyowning democracy. When it was built about 50 wealthy families – most of them royalty or aristocracy – owned England. West Derby was an important settlement long before Liverpool was created by King John in 1207. There was probably a courthouse in Saxon times. Elizabeth I – Good Queen Bess – personally sanctioned the building of the present Courthouse which signifies its major role in the district. The thrifty
monarch slashed the budget from £60 to £40. Locals wanted it built from wood but this was two years before the Spanish Armada threatened England. Every mighty oak tree was needed for ships – the Courthouse was constructed from cheaper local stone
9 instead. The Molyneuxes – along with the Stanleys – owned Liverpool and much of Lancashire. Later created Earls of Sefton, the Molyneuxes were also responsible for law and order and were successively constables of both West Derby and
Liverpool Castles. At the court they dealt with land and financial issues relating to their vast properties. They also sat in judgment on people accused of petty offences. The only punishments meted out were fines or up to six hours in the stocks. The court last sat

STAYING MOTIVATED - 5 TIPS by Paul Coshott 1. Set Goals: Goal Setting is one of the most powerful motivational tools. Goals fuel your training with a sense of purpose and urgency by setting short, medium and

more enjoyable and motivating than monotony; for this reason, you might want to train differently at different times of the year. If you are used to training indoors, now that the weather is getting warmer then maybe do an outdoor session. I teach an outdoor Boxercise session on a Saturday morning in Calderstones Park, starting at 10am. 3. Schedule Breaks: Sometimes the best way to stay motivated towards exercise is to not exercise, which allows your body to recover from an intense training period and can also fuel your enthusiasm and hunger again. 4. Train with others: We humans are social animals. Why not take advantage of your social nature by exercising in the company of others? Working out with a partner or in a group is almost always more fun than doing it alone and it tends to increase one’s commitment to scheduled workouts.
5. Reward yourself: You can enhance the motivational power of goals by attaching little rewards to them; for example, don’t buy that new pair of trainers until you’ve achieved 30 workouts in 2 months, etc.
BOXERCISE BOOTCAMP Boxercise Bootcamp is an enjoyable boxing session that helps you burn calories, tone up major muscle groups, works your core and makes you feel good. In a nutshell, it ticks all the boxes. The outdoor session is run randomly on a Saturday m o r n i n g a t Calderstones park, 10am. I will teach you some basic moves from boxing, i.e. combinations on the pads, defence work and footwork. I also run 2 indoor sessions at St Marys Church Hall, St Marys Road, Garston on a Monday a n d We d n e s d a y evening.

by Mick Titherington With the season extended due to the unsettled weather at the turn of the year resulting in a number of postponements, it was May 21st before Stoneycroft FC’s final game against Old Xavs. Despite a much improved performance, the familiar story unfolded with Croft’s inability to put the ball in the net costing them dearly as Xavs converted their chances and scored twice late on to end the Croft’s season with a 2-0 defeat. The season as a whole was very disappointing: hopes for a successful campaign were reaffirmed at the start of the season but petered out as the season went on with injuries, unavailability and player turnover taking their toll. With the lack of both a settled side and some much needed luck, the season descended into a long hard struggle. Despite the results there were some sterling performances, though; captain Paul Finnegan performed at a consistently high standard as did Liam Currie. Mick Williams was an extremely beneficial and welcome addition, bringing speed and class to the team, and was sorely missed when injured towards the end of the season. John Bowers, although also injury hit, made a positive contribution and Mark Flanagan had a good season and was missed
when not available. Paul Carruthers, Mike Kinney, Carl Donohue, Adam Beckett, Kev Moss, Simon Baker and Steve Dowd were all regular and committed performers while the recovering Eddie Baker is making good progress and is nearly back to his best. All the players who have taken part during this difficult season are to be thanked for their efforts and we wish all those players still recovering from injury a speedy recovery and hope that they are able to participate fully in the forthcoming campaign. Manager John Leary deserves a special mention for the way he has conducted himself during the course of the season. He has dealt effectively with all the problems he has encountered in a calm and confident manner. His commitment and tireless efforts have remained undiminished and the committee are extremely grateful to him. As soon as the season ended he was looking forward to next season, preparing and organising preseason training and friendlies. As the old cliche goes “There’s always next season”! The Vets’ side provided one reason to be cheerful, however, gaining promotion to the First Division of the Vets section of the I-Zingari Combination at their first attempt we congratulate them on this and wish them well in the top flight.

South Liverpool FC’s second successive league title has now earned the club a place in the first division of the West Cheshire League and the necessary ground improvements have been completed in time. A 78-point total, with only two defeats in the league, provided a 4-point margin over runners-up Mallaby and a 27point margin from third-placed Maghull Reserves. Indeed, South completed a whole league season unbeaten away from home meaning that, having also remained unbeaten in the league the previous season, the club remain unbeaten away from home in the West Cheshire League.

2nd division titles in successive seasons is a West Cheshire League record. Having been initially denied the Youth Division title due to a 3-point deduction, the club’s youth team were eventually awarded the league title following a successful appeal against the points deduction. This was the club’s second success in the Youth Division which, again, is a West Cheshire League record. Congratulations go to manager Stuart Yarwood who had built the team up over four years or so but he has now left the club in order to manage the reformed Cheshire Lines FC in the Liverpool County Premier League. The club staged its annual Player of the Season event on 15 June at which the club paraded the George Law Trophy, the award given to the West Cheshire League club of the season. This is the second successive season that the club has been given this prestigious trophy, awarded for success on the pitch together with progress off the pitch and evidence of the club being well-run. The first team’s success has earned them a place in the Bill Weight cup, a pre-season tournament involving the league’s three divisional champions and the first division league cup winners, and the team have been drawn away to

League. The team have some big boots to fill but the signs are good that they will continue to enjoy the success already achieved by previous youth teams at South.
