Although still in widespread use, many county councils across the UK are reconsidering herbicide use. Several countries have either banned its use or intend to do so over the next few years.
This substance is very effective at killing weeds. In recent years concerns have been raised over its toxicity and its effect on the environment. After an area has been sprayed, the dried residue can be washed into drains after rain and enter the wider watercourse system.
The Parish Council is creating a policy relating to weed control and herbicide use in the parish. The policy will document the current and alternative methods of controlling weeds with options to reduce or remove our dependence on herbicides and the associated costs of any changes made.
In 2015, the World Health Organisation described it as probably carcinogenic, and a report by the University of Birmingham showed that it caused

Probus Ladies Group
Probus Ladies Group
Valerie Wilcox It is with much sadness we heard our friend Valerie Wilcox passed away peacefully on Saturday, 2nd January with her family around her. Val was a founder member of Probus Ladies Group and our Chair until she became so unwell she couldn't continue. However, illness didn't deter Val as she remained a member of our committee and took a lively interest in all of the group's activities.
From the inception of Probus Ladies’ Group, Val was always an enthusiastic and supportive member and shared her musical talent with us, especially at Christmas time. Besides Probus Ladies’ Group, Valerie was an active member in many organisations both in the village and further afield. We will miss her. Our thoughts are with Barry and his family. We look forward to restarting our group meetings later in the year when it is safe to do so. With very best wishes to you all for 2021. Pat and the Probus Ladies Group Committee.

Please pass on a big thank you to Tim Joyce and all the Probus News deliverers, who put our parish church Christmas card into every copy of the December magazine delivered around the village. The system was altered this year to be COVID-safe and we are very grateful that we were still able to reach every home in the village with our prayers and best wishes for the year ahead. Also a special thank you to Kevin, George and Tom Cope, Ed Faull and Rob Pollard for all the hard work they put in to install the new illuminated crosses on top of the church tower. They really do look fantastic. From St Probus and St Grace Church

Probus Senior Football Club
T
HE club and most importantly the players of both teams were delighted to get the go-ahead for the season to start back in September. The first team is looking for promotion to the Combination League this year. Led by manager Tony Paddock they had a good start winning three and drawing one of their first four games. The reserves, with a very young side, also started well losing just one game in September. October was very different with injuries and players unavailable. Both teams struggled to get results and then came the lockdown in November. On our return in December with players coming back plus a couple of excellent new signings, both teams were hungry to play. Unfortunately, due to the weather, the first team only managed to play one game with a draw at Goonhavern. The reserves had more luck. They played three, with two wins and a draw. The first team sit fifth in the league, just three points from an automatic promotion place but unfortunately, the league is again suspended and no sign at present when, or indeed if, it will resume. The club has not received any sponsorship for the past three seasons, and both teams are in desperate need of new kits. If you would like to sponsor a kit, or perhaps make a smaller donation towards one, please get in touch. We would be delighted to run through the options available.

S
O, the time has finally arrived. We have some good news to report relating to COVID-19.
After 12 months of extraordinary efforts by Health and other key workers, by scientists around the globe, by bigpharma and not forgetting those hard working people in the NHS supply chain, we have some great news to report. It’s finally here - people in the village are being vaccinated. The notice below and the priority list on the next page is from Probus Surgery. Arbenneck PCN (Probus, Roseland, The Clays and Brannel Surgeries) are very pleased to announce that we have been given confirmation by the Governing Bodies that The Clays GP Practice in Roche has been given designated site status to commence COVID-19 vaccines for our patients.

A message from Rev. Joachim
W
HEN I am afraid, I put my trust in you Psalm 56:3
As February rolls in we are still in the grip of what feels like a never-ending nightmare. We are, I know, all struggling with the continuing fallout from the virus. 2020 was a tough year on us all, and the new lockdown and concern over rising numbers, particularly locally, has been difficult for us all. At times of real stress I find myself returning to the words of scripture for comfort and support. The words of Psalm 56 remind me to place my faith and trust in the Lord who I know and trust to take care of me, even in the darkest of times. Pancakes! Tuesday 16th February is Shrove Tuesday (Pancake Day). It is the day before Lent begins when Christians remember Jesus fasting in the wilderness for 40 days. Lent is a time of reflection upon life and renewed dedication to Christ when Christians often ‘give something up’ before Easter. The day before Lent starts is Shrove Tuesday or Mardi Gras and is a great time to have a bit of a party (within our own households of course). As February is a bit dreary it needs a bit of sprucing up really. Shrove Tuesday really only means one thing in the UK, pancakes. I love pancakes. For some there is only one way to eat a pancake, and that is with lemon and sugar. Personally, I think, with a bit of creativity, pancakes can be made into a three-course meal. So 12 | Probus News Magazine | Issue 253
blinis (i.e. little pancakes) with smoked salmon and cream cheese to start with. Then maybe some pancakes filled with a bolognese sauce, topped with grated cheese and cooked in the oven as a main course. And, to finish, pancakes with ice-cream and clotted cream. With every blessing, Rev’d Joachim Foot Team Rector of Probus, Ladock, Grampound with Creed and St Erme
A thousand year old tradition continues
A
TRADITION more than a thousand years old continued in Probus Church on Christmas Eve when a (COVID-safe) Midnight Mass was held. In fact, it may be even older than that as the midnight service on Christmas Eve came to the western Christian church in 430 A.D. and we know there was a Christian church on the Probus site long before the Probus Church was founded by King Athelstan around 930 A.D. Note 1
Therefore, it’s likely a midnight service has been celebrated in Probus from at least 930 A.D. with a possibility of one or two short breaks, during the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century and during the Civil War of the 17th century. 1

A circular walk from Probus to Tresillian
I
RECENTLY discovered a way to get to Tresillian and back via a circular walk. I would say that subject to government COVID-19 regulations, it's a perfect walk on a sunny February morning - cold and crisp with blue sky. It’s also a good winter walk because in the spring and summer there are sometimes cattle in the first field. The walk is interesting because you get to see two ancient celtic crosses a significant civil war site and a 19thcentury engineering marvel, all on top of some fabulous countryside. It's about a two-hour walk, just under 10km/6 miles, with a few hills, so moderate difficulty. Oh, and there is plenty of mud! Start at the village square. Walk down Fore Street and turn left to Treviglas Lane. Follow the lane to the bottom, turn right and look for the footpath sign on the left where Treviglas Lane meets the bottom of Treviglas Rise. Follow the footpath down to the stream and cross over the wobbly wooden stile into the field. The public footpath goes straight up the slope ahead of you. Take a deep breath and when you get to the top of the first steep bit, stop, turn around and take in a lovely view of Probus. Keep the hedge to your left and head towards the black grain silos at Trelowthas Farm. Climb over the stone stile (to the left of the double metal farm gates) and cross the second field diagonally - heading towards the farm buildings and silo.
16 | Probus News Magazine | Issue 253
At the gates, turn left and walk through the farm, once the site of a Manor House and an ancient chapel. Just before the T junction, look for the ancient wayside cross on the left. When the light is right, you can still see the carved cross on its head. The cross was found in a nearby field in the middle of the last century and then moved to its current location. Note 2
At the T junction, turn right and walk about 50m. On the left, you will see a footpath that leads to the A390 Probus bypass. Using extreme caution (vehicles can and do travel pretty fast on this section), cross the bypass and you’ll see a short footpath to a gate, and beyond that, a quiet back road leading to the cottage at West Trelowthas. Walk straight on and turn right at the T junction. The next section is a level country lane with little traffic and nice views over farmland. You will see a milestone on the right. After about 1.5 km, turn right at the cottage on the T junction. The road slowly winds downhill passing Carharthen Farm.
Now it's time to cross the A390 again and walk over the bridge. It can be busy, so take your time and do it safely. It's worth stopping for a moment to take in the views of Tresillian. Continue down to the bottom and note the driveway and impressive grade II listed gatehouse to Tregothnan Estate at the junction with the A390 at Tresillian Bridge.
Tresillian Bridge is the site of a historic English Civil War event. On 10th March 1646 Ralph Hopton, leading the Royalist forces in the west country, surrendered to Sir Thomas Fairfax, the Parliamentarian forces commander. The surrender marked the end of the Civil War in this part of the world. There is a bit of uncertainty as to exactly where the surrender was negotiated. It may have been on the bridge or perhaps over a pint of 17th century Proper Job in the Wheel Inn nearby (sadly, now closed). Cross the Tresillian River and take the first right. Follow the road, passing the old Wesleyan Chapel (below) and then the cemetery.
Before crossing the A390, take a look at Holy Trinity Church, first built as a Chapel of Ease 1878, and rebuilt in 1904 with the font, bell and pulpit taken from Merther. In front of the church is another ancient wayside cross, even more eroded than the one at Trelowthas. This cross was also found in a field and moved to its current location in the 19th century. It’s worth looking for the plaque on the end wall of the church hall next door. February 2021 | 17
Where the road turns left, walk through the metal gates and follow the flat gravel track with fields on your left. Walk for 10 minutes or so past arable fields on the left and the river on the right.
You’ll see that there have been recent groundworks near the old pumping station but ignore that and veer slightly right where there are open fields on either side of the track. If you are lucky or have timed it right, you may hear and see a train crossing the granite and brick-built viaduct supporting the London to Penzance railway line. It's an excellent example of Victorian engineering, standing 25m high, 185m long on nine piers and opened on 1st September 1901. This viaduct replaced an earlier wooden viaduct built in 1859 and designed by the civil engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel. The original 1859 granite piers are still visible in the undergrowth. It's difficult not to be impressed to see something still doing the job it was designed to do 120 years before. Think of the hundreds of thousands of people who have passed over the viaduct since 1859, maybe starting off on an adventure, or returning home after a long journey. Each journey a tale in itself. Walk under the viaduct and continue on. Ignore the footpath sign and stile on your left as that heads north towards Trehane Barton and Nankilly. 18 | Probus News Magazine | Issue 253
After another 100m, at the gated entrance to Trehane Mill, take the footpath to the right. It’s narrow and the entrance is marked with a yellow footpath sign. It's a bit rough here, so watch your footing. Walk down the slope, cross the wooden bridge and follow the path to the left, continuing up the slope through a lovely beech wood.
To the left, occasionally visible amongst the woods is Trehane Mill, said to be on the site of an ancient corn mill first recorded in 1596, and now a private residence. There is a spring ahead, and the path can be a bit muddy, but continue up the slope and you’ll reach the edge of the wood at a metal farm gate. Go through the gate and you’ll see a fairly narrow field that slopes upwards to your right. The footpath is easily distinguishable, so walk up the slope diagonally across the field. Don't forget to turn around to take in the view of the stunning countryside. It’s quite steep, so you may need to stop and get your breath anyway! At the top of the hill, go through the gate into a pleasant arable field. The public footpath runs diagonally from here to the opposite corner where a wooden telegraph pole is visible on the ridgeline.
The telegraph pole is at the intersection of four fields. Before going any further look to the right and take in the lovely views of Probus. The final destination is clearly in sight, and I'd like to say it's all downhill from here, but that would be a lie. Take the farm track directly ahead and walk towards Probus. It is not well used nowadays, but in years gone by it must have been. Keep going downhill, navigate around a large fallen tree and cross over a small stream. Eventually, you will see Spring Acre on the left, a
smallholding on the right as the path finally meets the back road to St. Erme and Trispen. Turn right, walk along the lane to the Tresillian River at what is known locally as ‘bathing pools'. In years gone by pupils of the old Probus School swam here and there was even once a diving platform.
Proceed to the railway bridge over the B3275 Ladock Road - it's another fast road so cross carefully. From the other side, you have choices, but all options are uphill. The most direct route is to walk up Tresowga Lane, through The Green to get to Fore Street and the village square. Alternatively, if energy levels permit, take the footpath between the railway bridge and the old Tresowga Garage and walk back via Lamellyn Farm, and Chapel Street. Really hope you like the walk.

Winter beauty
I
MAGES of Andrea Hill’s ponies taken on 7th January following a hard overnight frost prove that Probus and surrounds can be as beautiful during deep winter as it is during any season. Andrea says the pony in the front of the photograph (below) is Uphill Pink
Sapphire aka Saffy a 4-year old Welsh mountain pony. She was bought to show but sadly lost an eye in a field accident so will be a broodmare at some point. The little grey to her left is a lovely mare called Sarum Roselight, aka Letty. She is another Welsh mountain pony who will be broken in to ride this summer and hopefully be a childrens riding pony. The infoal big mare with the rug on is Squiggles a coloured cob cross.

No One Goes Hungry An update from the No One Goes Hungry Probus Project.
I
N November the project distributed 11 food parcels with food for 54 people. In December the project provided 27 food and care parcels for 99 people, then 30 hampers containing ingredients for a Christmas dinner with gifts for 129 people. Also, vouchers totalling £465 for use in Trudgian Farm Shop and Probus Filling Station were provided. As of 22nd January this year the project has provided 19 parcels for 67 people. Project members are now looking at various options on how best to organise in the future: * Supporting people to access a local food bank * Continuing with the provision of food
28 | Probus News Magazine | Issue 253
parcels on request * Establishing a community larder * Provision of children’s meals in holiday periods * Looking to work with Fare Share to be given short-dated food / non-saleable food (labelling errors / over-produced) from supermarkets Group founder, Eleanor McCartney, told the Probus News that her hope is for a system where everyone feels able to obtain help, as and when they need it. She said that some are reluctant to ask for help often thinking that ‘others are worse off than me'. Eleanor aims to ensure that people who need help, get that help, without judgement. Anyone who uses the service is not depriving anyone else of food. No one should feel that asking for help in these most difficult circumstances reflects poorly on them as a person or parent.

E managed to have a Christmas lunch at The Hawkins Arms just before Christmas and an excellent meal was provided by Peter and Ann-Marie. The green is grassing nicely, if a little bit long due to it being too wet to cut, as you can see! We are hoping to re-open in late March, weather and COVID-19 permitting. Keep your eyes on the noticeboard and next months magazine. Wishing you all a happy and vaccinated New Year.

A 1907 view of Probus
W
E’VE been lucky to get access to an original OS map of Probus dated 1907 that provides a fascinating opportunity to see the development of the village over the past 114 years. A section is shown below. I wonder if anyone who was living here all those years ago could have imagined how the village would change?
Chapel Street allotments
S
IGNIFICANT elbow grease has clearly been put in on many of the plots in the new Chapel Street allotments, no doubt helped along by the fertiliser provided over many years by Charlie Warne’s ponies, all that effort will be paying off later in the year when masses of home grown organic fruit and vegetables are harvested.
The map details south of the village square, Fore Street and west almost as far as Geen Mill and south to beyond the current bypass. It’s very interesting to see the roads that existed south of the village before the bypass, parts of some still exist. We plan to show different detailed sections of this map over coming editions. In this section, see if you can pinpoint exactly where the village hall was built.

Children’s Hospice South West
‘We knew that there were many hundreds of families in the West Country who should also have the opportunity to experience the benefits which we were receiving at Helen House’
C
HILDREN’S Hospice South West celebrates 30 years of creating memories to cherish.
Children’s Hospice South West (CHSW) is celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2021, and everyone is welcome to join the party! During the last three decades, the charity has provided a safe haven of care, support and friendship for thousands of local families with a seriously ill child. And in its 30th year, supporters are being asked to help it create more cherished memories for many years to come. A £1m fundraising appeal to build the South West’s first children’s hospice was launched in 1991 by Eddie and Jill Farwell, who experienced the urgent need for hospice care for local children. Their two eldest children, Katie and Tom, had life-limiting illnesses and the family had to travel more than four hours, from their home in North Devon to Helen House in Oxford, then the country’s only children’s hospice. Mr Farwell, who is the charity’s chief executive, said the idea to build a children’s hospice came to him during the middle of a restless night, and despite being told to ‘stop being so silly and go back to sleep’ by his late wife Jill, the idea began to take shape. ‘From that bonkers statement, an idea grew’ said Mr Farwell. 38 | Probus News Magazine | Issue 253
Image: Eddie and late wife Jill Farwell. The couple started fundraising in the laundry room of their home and spent days, evenings and weekends on the road with printed leaflets talking to anyone who would listen about the project. In 1995, Little Bridge House opened its doors in Fremington, near Barnstaple. Huge demand for its services led to the opening of the charity’s second hospice, Charlton Farm, near Bristol, in 2007. And in 2011 Little Harbour, which will also be celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, opened in St Austell. Little Harbour was the final piece in the CHSW jigsaw, meaning that no matter where families live in the south west, children’s hospice care is available within an hour and a half drive. Today, CHSW supports more than 500
families across the peninsula. It has adapted its care during the pandemic to ensure COVID-safe support, wherever and whenever families need it, including in the hospices, and for the first time ever, in families’ own homes. The charity needs around £11m a year to run its three children’s hospices, and around 85 per cent is raised through voluntary donations. ‘Katie and Tom, who had so little that this world values, not only inspired their parents, but also many thousands of people to create CHSW, which has helped and will continue to help, many hundreds of families across the South West, said Mr Farwell. ‘It has been a tremendous journey and so many children and families have been helped along the way at each of our three hospices. That work would not have been possible without the continued faithfulness and generosity of people all over the South West. ‘So we hope they will join with us in 2021 and celebrate this wonderful milestone,
and all that they have helped us achieve. ‘We have lots of fundraising ideas on our website and anything people are able to do to help, no matter how big or small, will make a real difference to families in 2021. ‘Together, we can continue to create more memories to be cherished for another 30 years. There are lots of ways people can support CHSW during its 30th year and every penny raised will help CHSW continue to care for very poorly children and families. To get involved visit www.chsw.org.uk/30 A video message by Eddie Farwell can be found on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/HZtiYCiIbPY Image: The gardens at Little Harbour children’s hospice in St Austell which offers care and support to children and families from across Cornwall and Plymouth.

Christmas Tree
W
ELL done to Jonathan Keam and his team of helpful elves (Chris and Zoe Gill, Nik Budden, Mike Packer, Steve Dalton, Andy McCartney, Oliver Keam, Amanda Kendall) plus Chris Chilcott Plant Hire, his engineer Tony Brown, and tractor driver Luke who set up and decorated the Christmas tree on the cobbles in December. Also thanks to Trudgian Farm shop for the power. It looked fabulous and thanks to a one ton weight stayed rock steady through the winter storms that passed during December and early January. Jonathan asks if others in the village would like to get together to form a group to look into the possibility of putting more lights up around the Village Square and Fore Street next Christmas. After such a challenging period, perhaps something really special could be done in Probus for Christmas 2021. If you are interested, email Jonathan at jkcoaches@btinternet. com

Probus Book Club
W
E are still managing to read and keep in touch with each other, so long as the library can still supply books we will keep going, although, as with everything else it is not the same. We certainly miss talking face to face with each other, discussing the books and having our chats which were often about anything but the book we had been reading. Wishing our members a happy & healthy New Year. The last book we read as a group was The Long Song by Andrea Levy. This is a story of the last days of slavery in Jamaica as told by a woman called July
who was born a slave and is now an old lady. She is pursuaded to write her story by her son whom she had abandoned as a baby by leaving him on the doorstep of a local minister. She became reunited with him on his return to Jamaica from London where he had learnt his trade as a printer. He found his mother destitute and took her in. Throughout the book she has disagreements with her son about the way she is writing the book, which is quite comical. It is a story that shocks and one that makes you laugh. The plantation, where July was born is owned by Mr. John Howarth. When his sister Mrs. Caroline Mortimer comes to live with him and his wife on the plantation she is completely out of her depth and cannot understand the way of life at all. One day she sees July out walking with her mother Kitty and taking a fancy to her decides that she wants her to be her servant back at the house. So July and Kitty are torn apart. July is renamed Marguerite by Caroline and as she grows into a young woman and a favourite of Caroline’s she is resented by some of the other house slaves. When Carolines brother commits suicide she inherits the plantation and marries an English Christian abolitionist called Robert who only marries her so that he can be near to July, who he is besotted with and she has her son by him. Historical facts are referred to throughout the book, such as the 10 day Baptist war and the slave uprisings that occur after this event. I found it quite an easy book to read although a bit shocking at times. Liz Horder
