Roe’s Charity

According to the accepted history of Stephen Roe, born, 1699, in Yapton is that he was the son of William Roe, a local butcher. In 1716 his father apprenticed him to a Chichester Needlemaker by the name of Thomas Raymond, for seven years at a cost of £40. This fact was not born out by the research by David Wilson of Chichester, who could not find any record to confirm this. What is more, he could not find any reference to any Needlemaker named Thomas Raymond in Chichester. What David did uncover was a Stephen Roe was apprenticed to a Thomas Raymond of Cy (possibly an abbreviation for City [of London]) on the 18th December 1716 for £40. Is this too much of a co incidence? What is not in doubt is his move to London. While living in London he accrued a fortune. Testimony to this lies in his will which, when adjusted to today’s value, is in excess of £700,000. Research has not discovered how he amassed his fortune. It appears that Stephen had married twice. His first marriage was to Elizabeth Hopcroft in 1722 and a second marriage in 1736 to Elizabeth Drury. Stephen died in 1767 and is buried in the Church of St Bartholomew the Great, near Smithfield, on the March 11th 1767. In his will, written in 1766, he did not forget his childhood home. He instructed that £1200: three per cent annuities should be transferred to the Minister, Churchwardens and Overseers of the poor of Yapton. They were to spend £20 of the annual interest on educating as many poor Boys and Girls of the Parish as possible, with the remaining £16 pounds of interest per year should be used to support, with equal shares, seven poor people or housekeepers of the Accordingparish.toresearch undertaken by Denis Vardy, a Yapton School teacher and local historian, in 1819 there were twenty boys and girls being taught in a local school free of charge. It is assumed that the £20 from Roe’s Charity paid for the Master’s salary. Denis also discovered a report written in the early part of the 19th century which recorded that in 1833 Stephen Roe’s School catered for 20 boys plus 14 paying scholars. It was also during the early part of the 19th century that a move was made towards improving the education of children resulting in the National Schools project coming into being. There seemed to be a little resistance to this move locally, with the result that there was not a National School in Yapton until 1864. It was financed by annual contributions including the £20 from Roe’s Charity. This Charity is still in existence albeit with a depreciated value. The value was so much reduced that the two purposes of the fund were combined and used for education purposes. How much the annual payment and who decides who the beneficiaries are, requires a little more research. Stephen Roe Charity is a regular Agenda item for the Annual Yapton Parish meeting.

Finally, Stephen Roe’s name lives on in the village by way of the main entrance road into the new housing estate alongside the school, Paddock View, being named Roemead Drive.

The Fauna Taproom has some interesting plans for the building which will not damage the structure, rather, the plan is to celebrate the original features as a backdrop for the new business venture.

Plans dated 1898 (ref no. 1708) can also be found in the castle archives for, ‘drains for the electric light battery room at Arundel Castle.’

When the castle finally had access to mains electricity c1930’s, the electricity works were initially just used for storage. Over the years the building has been home to the castle estate fire engine, offices/equipment for the castle stables and a few years back it housed a car mechanic business.

Part II by local historian Mark Phillips

Electricity arrives at Arundel Castle

The heritage statement, required as part of the change of use application for the building states: ‘Although it (the building) is not of a great age and is not a designated Listed Building it is considered to be significant through its association with Arundel Castle and should certainly be considered for future listing to preserve its attributes and associated history.’

As an historian and long time Arundel resident, I am truly delighted to see this building, part of the town/castle's important industrial history, come back to life. It will also allow many locals their first ever opportunity to see the beauty within.

Continued from lat month: In the East Wing the internal wiring had to be installed retrospectively, which the clerk of works described simply as ‘... butchery', but it was included in the south and west wings as part of the 1890s project.

The charity focuses on providing equipment which isn’t readily available under NHS or normal commercial routes. It relies on volunteers with various engineering or practical DIY skills, or occupational therapy know how, or administration experience. There are 70 local groups across the UK, comprising around 900 volunteers in total, undertaking 3000 projects each year.

“We help people with a diverse range of ages and conditions. For example, medical conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis, Muscular Dystrophy, Parkinsons Disease, etc; physical conditions such as amputees, little people, and arthritis, or consequences of a stroke; issues like reduced flexibility, strength, and co ordination; wheelchair or bed / armchair bound difficulties.”

Bespoke wheelchair made by Remap

Bespoke equipment designed & supplied for free Remap is a charity that helps people with disability to achieve greater independence and quality of life. Volunteers design and make bespoke equipment for people of all age groups and ethnicities, and varying conditions and disabilities. Affordability is not an issue since equipment is provided by the charity free of charge. Whether a simple adaptation of a clothes peg to help a one armed person hang washing on the line, a modification to a standard wheelchair or rollator to suit a specific person’s need or helping a person with arthritis in their wrists to continue playing the piano, the charity does it all. Essential equipment that might simply help someone use bathroom facilities can tremendously boost their independence. There are many happy beneficiaries to them, additional independence or being able to do something easier than before, is a major boost.

Helping make things possible for people with disability

Local Remap groups in Sussex Steve Whyley, who lives in Storrington, is the chairman of the local group carrying out the Remap projects in West and East Sussex, he tells Sussex Local “We have a team of around 25 people centred around the Brighton area and we need more volunteers, offering whatever time they can spare, to help us ensure we can support as many people as we can, and to ‘make things possible’ for our beneficiaries. Our local group’s area of interest is along the south coast from Littlehampton across to Eastbourne, and northwards to Horsham. There are similar neighbouring local groups covering Chichester and Portsmouth, and in Surrey, and others right across the UK.”

The design process

“Equipment is often designed and made in volunteer’s homes/workshops and sometimes one of the volunteers might be the lead contact with the beneficiary, and determines what needs

Helping people with all sorts of disabilities

Steve explains the process further “Once the initial enquiry is received, our occupational therapy (OT) volunteer experts in the group review the needs of potential beneficiaries to make sure that the issues and requirements are understood. They often make first contact to discuss further before considering the practical or engineering skills to tackle the case. It is often the situation that standard and readily available equipment is not appropriate for a person’s specific requirements, which sometimes involves multiple conditions. A volunteer engineer visits to discuss the ‘specification requirements’ and agrees a plan of action with the beneficiary. Often, carers, or parents, or the NHS OT representative are also present during these visits.

From sandwich makers to sewing machines

· Modifications to height of commode to allow independent transfer out of bed

we designed a sandwich assembler and cutter so he could safely make a sandwich and cut it into quarters.

How is Remap funded?

While volunteer time is free, the costs of materials or purchased items, and other expenses need to be funded, so that the beneficiary is not charged for the equipment.

Steve tells us “the charity relies wholly on grants, donations, legacies and other fundraising activities to generate these funds. Locally, we appreciate the support of the Sussex Sandwich assembler / cutter Northbrook BN14

Diamond Jubilee

The charity’s Diamond Jubilee is in 2024, as it was established in 1964 as a single small group of volunteers mainly from ICI on Teesside. From 1968 it’s had a number of local groups around the UK. Steve’s group in Sussex was set up in 1976 by staff and students at Brighton University, one of its original founders is still involved.

Potential beneficiaries can contact the local group either directly, or via their Occupational Therapy (OT) contact if relevant, or via the charity website where you can give some basic information on the potential need. This information is passed to the relevant Remap group which covers your area, in full confidence of protection of personal information and data.

Remap is a registered charity, number 1137666.

Get in touch

“Our local group receives around 45 enquiries every year, and we have around 25 ‘live’ ongoing cases at any one time. We carry out over 1200 hours of volunteer activity. The number of cases is increasing through greater awareness of the charity activities combined with the desire of people with disability to enhance their day to day quality of life, or to be able to do more activity, independently if possible.”

One other reason to think about a shingle mulch is that it locks the moisture in so in times of severe dryness the soil is less likely to turn into Generally,cement!choose plants with grey green or silver leaves as they reflect the sun's rays, helping to conserve moisture within the plant tissues.

You don’t have to apply fertiliser to the soil, as this can encourage lush growth which can flop in summer, needing water and become frost damaged in winter. At the time of planting some compost applied to the soil can help them initially.

Designing a Dry Garden

For more structural plants have a look at Colletia, Callistomem, dwarf Eucalyptus as well as Teucrium fruticans and the Hebe range

( See my last Article on Tom Brown at West Dean Gardens) It is imperative that structure is fully considered. The smaller drought tolerant plants tend to be short lived so try to plant a combination of longer lived plants because it will help create a backbone structure. Water them sparingly and once they are established, sit back and watch them grow without watering anxiety. If you have trees you can still plant dry shade tolerant species like Liripoe and Japanese anemones.

A dry garden doesn't rely on rainwater, irrigation or feeding to survive. Instead, plants are chosen for their drought tolerance. If you do not have much spare time to maintain your garden, a dry garden is one for you. Also it conserves water for the nation and gives you a powerful taste of the TheMediterranean.firstthingyou

Poor and stony soil is a bonus in gardens where you want to grow a wide range of ground cover plants with little maintenance. The gravel garden is a good op tion, suppressing the germination of weeds almost entirely. This balance between plant and stone is characteristic of Mediterranean landscapes. One thing you may want for a more wild natural look is for your plants to self seed, so your gravel needs to be thick enough to prevent normal English weeds coming up, but not too impenetrable that your self seeding plants can’t germinate.

need to consider if whether your plot of land is suitable. The space should be open and have access to lots of sunshine. The poorer the soil the better as your dry tolerant plants will need to search for their nutrients and moisture, developing the long roots they will need to survive drought conditions. Make sure when you are preparing the bed, dig very deeply to give these longer tap rooting plants an easy passage.

Some great Mediterranean plants are Lavender Hidcot, Phlomis, Lamb’s Ear, Va lerian and most of the herbs like Sage, Chives and Oregano, Verbascum and Nepeta.

You also need to think about materials as dry gardens can initially require sand, crushed hard core or concrete to improve the drainage.

Jarman was one of the most important artists and gay rights activists of his generation, making ground breaking avant garde films such as Sebastian, Caravaggio and Jubilee. Since he died of an Aids related illness in 1994, his cottage and garden have become a site of pilgrimage for art students, architects and garden designers. As a young boy he was enthralled by flowers, he dreamed of a magical rose garden emerging from the arid shingle. His parents gave him the 1926 illustrated manual, Beautiful Flowers and How as an experiment. The area is one of the driest parts of England andhasn’t been irrigated but is well known for its display of drought tolerant plants. It is also well worth visiting the Scree Garden because it has helped many work out what to do. There is big collection of easy alpines mimicking the growing conditions of stony, mountain ous slopes.

There is a nursery within the gardens which sells various types of plants which are suitable for dry gardens. They offer advice on which plants would suit differ ent types of dry gardens. Gravel garden starter plants in detail Cistus laurifolius is a white flowering Mediterranean species that provides year round evergreen structure. Stachys byzantina offers excellent weed suppressant ground cover, with silver foliage and attractive summer flowers.

Unfortunately the majority of the roses died so he looked into native plants such as sea kale and wild peas. He would use driftwood sticks to mark out the delicate purple shoots of the sea kale. He rarely intervened so the garden predominantly grew naturally.

Beth Mead knew this and it’s why she didn’t view the golden boot as a personal achievement.

A professional painter and decorator, for example, is in the best position to recommend a plasterer, the same goes for existing customers being in the best position to recommend a team to see their project through to the end. A quality track record speaks for itself and there is no better reassurance that you’re working with the right team to deliver exactly what you want, and often more than you could have hoped.

Finding the right team of professionals

By Nick Roberts RMR Group

www.robertsmillerredshaw.com

Successful delivery of a product or service doesn’t usually occur by accident or by luck that’s because a well drilled team will always outperform siloed professionals that are unfamiliar with each other. Track records and finding a team

Benefits of having a well drilled team

Lioness, Beth Mead, said it best when asked about her golden boot achievement in the women’s Euros the goals are simply a by product of the team working together like a well oiled machine, it doesn’t matter who puts the ball in the net. The same goes for any multifaceted project, and property builds and extensions are no exception.

Material suppliers, architects, engineers, builders, planning officers and ever changing building regulations are just a few areas of your team that can need to come together to score your ultimate goal (an amazing new space, on time and within budget). Any one of these disciplines has the power to derail your ambitions and send them spiralling out of control.

Finding the right team is essential, and often the team you need have been working and training together for years. More often than not, with property your team starts with an architect as they are the first members to get involved and put the plan on paper.

What happened during the pandemic COVID 19, political instability, and climate change have destabilised the UK, and these factors seem to have effected what we prioritise when we’re looking to move home. During the pandemic, buyers and renters swapped cities for the open space of the countryside, bought bigger homes or expanded spaces for hybrid working arrangements. Some of these trends are staying, others reversing. A return to city centres Property companies are seeing a slowing down of “race for space” prompted by the pandemic. A recent survey by Nationwide found that the number of people looking to escape urban life had declined substantially. City centres are opening up again and estate agents are reporting a rise in demand for flats and houses close to train stations. Estate agents report a 20% increase in demand for properties in cathedral cities, citing ”Bridgerton Effect” as the cause.

Bungalows growing in value and popularity According to Rightmove, single storey homes grew 10.5% in value last year. Bungalows are becoming popular for younger people and families due to: flexible space as they tend to have a bigger footprint, easier maintenance with no high windows to clean and easier access to guttering and roof, often more eco friendly as they use less energy to heat, usually built on large plots with sizeable gardens where children can play while not being overlooked by neighbours.

In addition, Fiat are offering the option to change seat fabrics so owners can personalise and update their Centoventi during ownership.

New Fiat Centoventi on its way to showrooms

Although under production, this car delivers insight into the future innovation of Fiat’s EV city cars.

The Fiat Centoventi, a city concept car revealed at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show, is under development as part of Fiat’s new look EV range with 120 available accessories.

On the outside, the Centoventi is an evolution of the Fiat Panda city car. Design features include a boxy overall look with interchangeable plastic body and roof panels so owners can change the look to suit tastes. The nose features a multi bar grille, inspired by the original Panda, to show the charging status of the electric powertrain.

The vehicle’s minimalist dashboard features a ‘plug and play system’ that enables fitment of different kits. The dashtop includes a system of holes that can take additional storage modules like cupholders or smartphone docks. Electric motoring for the masses

As noted by AutoExpress, Fiat are using the Centoventi to make electric motoring available to masses. When revealed in Geneva in 2019, the Centoventi had a battery capable of delivering a 60 mile range. However, with the ability to swap and add battery packs, Fiat claim it can be boosted to up to 300 miles. The battery pod in the Centoventi is located under the passenger space which allows for quick battery changes.

Super Detective Phaedra Phaedra visited the local history exhibition at our church and was fascinated by the green man and sculptures you can find there. As a result, she discovered a special character herself! Children whose critical detective thinking skills are strong tend to have a broader, balanced outlook on life and show generally good discernment with people and decisions as they grow up and make their own choices. So encouraging your child to look for clues and ask questions is a great thing.

Round up from last term County Cricket tournament

As part of Year 6’s transition, Southern Rail ran a workshop on train safety. Children learnt how to use a timetable and plan a trip, which they put into practise by travelling from Arundel to Bognor.

Year 6 shared their performance of ‘The Next Big Step’ to parents and the school. The play reflected on their time in primary school and the adventures, challenges and laughs they’ve had along the way. Everyone agreed we would be singing the songs well into the summer holidays. They said their final farewells at a mass in the Cathedral.

I often find myself conveying the importance of resistance exercise, and this is because resistance exercise is repeatedly shown to have the most rounded overall positive effects for health and fitness.

Exercising for the after effects of the workout rather than the calorie burn during the workout could well get the scales moving.

When I suggest you improve your fitness, what image flashes through your mind?

...

42 Health & Wellbeing

By Heather Smith

I imagine it’s a hard and fast workout which leaves you gasping for breath and dripping with sweat. It seems that these types of workouts are associated with what it means to be fit.

It is also because resistance exercise tends to be the most overlooked, or mis interpreted.

Are intense workouts essential ..for weight loss?

And if you’re put off by the idea that this is how you have to exercise if you want to lose weight and get fit, then I have excellent news for you these kinds of workouts are not essential!

A resistance program which asks you to take a proper rest between exercises can be really effective when you’re aiming to lose weight.

www.fitbiztraining.co.uk

This said, there is a place for getting out of breath too although perhaps not to the stage encouraged by many of these mega intense workout routines (unless you love it, of course, then it becomes a different question).

If you have a history of diligently slogging through these hard and fast workouts, you may well find that approaching exercise differently is likely to be the key to reaching your fitness, weight loss, posture and pain related goals.

I wondered if the author knew and could validate the story that the knucker hole was considered bottomless as the locals had dropped a weight down and not felt it touch the bottom.

I did enjoy your fascinating article as I went to school at Lyminster and remember our motto being the dragon. Janet Tuckett by email Editor Many thanks Janet, pleased you enjoyed the article.

The ‘Weald to Waves’ Project. A number of local environmental groups, supposedly supported by the local farmers, are proposing to re wild the Arun Valley, and this would involve the deliberate flooding of land in and around Arundel. This proposal needs very careful attention.

Edited extracts from draft minutes of the Planning Committee meeting 26th July 2022. Drewitts Farm, Church Street, Amberley. Over the last 17 years there had been huge number of planning applications submitted for the Drewitts site by the developer. Serious concerns have been raised by some residents living on the development, including compliance, environmental and health & safety issues the planning committee acknowledge and appreciate how worrying these concerns are for residents.

The committee noted that the buyer of the property has stated that he would not use as a bedroom but there is nothing to safe guard this from happening if the property was sold. The installation of the roof lights is in contradiction to the SDNPA Dark Skies Policy and may also set a precedent on the development. If Horsham DC approve then a condition should be added to ensure that the space is only used for storage and not as a habitable space.

There is a serious issue with the proposed access road, which has been marked out but not yet built. The plans indicate a continuous width of 4m, however there is a pinch point which only measures 3.2m meaning a fire engine would not be able to access the site.

There have been complaints from residents regarding the level of dust coming from the development which is affecting houses close to the development. There have also been complaints raised over workers starting on the site at 5am which is causing a nuisance to nearby residents.

The Council will continue to liaise with the relevant contacts over these issues to ensure measures are put in place to deal with the dust such as dampening the ground in hot weather.

1. Redrow Angel’s Nursery, Yapton Road, Barnham. The Committee are extremely concerned as to the fragments of Asbestos found at Windmill Views.

Edited extracts from minutes of the Village Centre Committee on 14th June 2022. Storage Audit. One user’s storage requirements (for the storage of small trampolines) could not be met going forward and sadly that regular booking would come to an end shortly. Some parish council items had been moved around and some disposed of it was noted that the Camera Club was using a lot of storage one cupboard exclusively and another shared with the parish council. It was agreed that the Chairman would ask the Camera Club to amalgamate its items into the cupboard to which it has exclusive access. Additional storage should be constructed at in the youth hall, and it was agreed that this should be built at the north end of the hall leaving the south end for the installation of the water supply.

Current finances and budget were reviewed and no issues identified. The Standing Orders were reviewed and updated. Re quotes for replacement allotment fencing are awaited. A number of catalytic converters have been stolen from cars locally; one attempt caused a vehicle fire in the village car park. Survey work has shown the Bottle Store building in Fontwell to be unsafe to attach to the community centre. Plans for its demolition and reconstruction with a similar structure have been proposed by the developer. The revised plan lacked flint detailing of the original; this is being updated to include flint and confirmation is awaited. A replacement Fontwell bus shelter has been included on the WPC business plan. A councillor vacancy remains; a recruitment drive was proposed for the end of August.

Walberton Parish Council the minutes of the Finance and Legal (7th July) and Full Council (12th July) meetings for Walberton Parish Council.

NH’s proposed supplementary consultation was considered. The timing is very likely to be delayed from the original suggestion of July. NH’s response to WPC’s request for extra items to be included in the consultation was noted, which suggests that the consultation will still only concern the Golf Course and Tye Lane proposals.

WPC will be more robust in challenging issues prior to DCO. www.walberton pc.gov.uk

Finance, fencing, theft, unsafe building, vacancy & A27 Extracts from

Edited extracts from the draft minutes of the Parish Council meeting 11th July 2022.

The Parish Council were keen to look at this issue as a whole. Is it to act as a deterrent or being used to assist public safety and identify criminal behaviour? The local police have indicated they are in favour of a CCTV system and may have some funding available to assist with the costs of installation.

The Parish Council resolved to request the Clerk to investigate the installation, costs and legislation surrounding CCTV; and whether any grants are available to fund the capital costs of installing a system. One of the local policing team could be invited to present the Police case for the installation of CCTV in the area.

Some concerns were expressed about the presence of CCTV in the play area where children would be congregating and playing, but it was clear that the local situation had moved on from being just deterring and detecting vandalism, to a more serious situation of public safety.

One of the female councillors present reported that whilst she was walking her dog on the playing field she became aware of a large number of youths who had congregated near to the new Zip Wire. The youths began to circle the parish councillor and verbally abused her making her feel very uncomfortable. She also reported that a similar situation had taken place in the new play area recently. Both incidents had been reported to the local Police and they had indicated that they were reluctant to investigate unless CCTV images were available.

A discussion ensued concerning the apparent reluctance of the Parish Council to install CCTV on the playing field particularly overlooking the new play area. The Clerk indicated that he had been in touch with other local councils in the West Sussex locality and was starting to prepare a briefing note on the regulations applicable to the installation of CCTV and he had also investigated the costs associated with the installation.
