his year’s Torksey Fete was the last for the present organising committee of Pam Withers, Jean Turner (partner of John Chatterton), Eileen Burgess and Elizabeth Rose. We would like to thank everyone who supported us, especially those who helped at this year’s fete. We made a fantastic £ 1159.68 and have decided to share it between John Chatterton’s favourite charities — John was a committee member who sadly died earlier this year. We shall award £ 500 each to The Air Ambulance and LIVES, and £ 453.95 to St. Peter’s Church, Torksey. The awards will be presented at The Hume Arms, Torksey, at 7 pm on 5 October, and anyone wishing to attend is welcome.

Lincoln Golf Club member wins Lincolnshire Amateur Matchplay title ...
S
tephen Dines, a 2 handicap golfer from Lincoln Golf Club, Torksey, recently won the prestigious Lincolnshire Amateur Matchplay title, with a 3-2 Final victory over Matt Veall of Seacroft Golf Club. The final took place at Woodhall Spa Golf Club, home of the English Golf Union, on 4 August. While this is a momentous personal achievement for Stephen, it also represents a unique ‘double’ for Lincoln Golf Club, as Becky Lynes, 18, currently still a Junior at the Club, won the Lincolnshire Ladies Amateur Matchplay title a few months ago. The Club is justifiably proud of their Champion duo. John Cox Manager, Lincoln Golf Club ☎ 01427 718721

Trentside Bookbods book club has been running for 6 months and has 9 members. We meet in Fenton, third Thursday of the month, and such is the enthusiasm we haven’t missed a meeting yet. The meetings have settled into a pattern of socialising and exchange and discussion of books. One of the benefits of the Club is that people are reading more widely. I’ve read books that I would not have thought of reading before.
Help bring back our past Now that the Trentside Links website is operational, could we make an appeal for photos, especially older ones, slides and camcorder or 8 mm cine film which depict life in the Trentside area?
All proceeds in aid of

Glebe Medical Centre, Saxilby, is holding clinics in October at a number of Trentside villages, offering free flu vaccinations to the over 65s and others (see p20 for details).
Recently we contacted Lincolnshire Library Services and for a token fee they have agreed to deliver multiple copies of selected books to the Club. So if we choose to, we can all read the same book simultaneously and have focused discussion, which with multiple perspectives should be enlightening. The books will be delivered locally so we won’t have to travel into town for them, which will be very convenient come winter. Yvonne Redgrove Chairperson, Trentside Bookbods yvoredgr@tiscali.co.uk
We have assembled a number of photos from past and present times which highlight the rich history of the Trentside area and these can be accessed via the ‘Photos’ page of the website. We would love to receive further material to include in the archive. Please contact us if you have anything to contribute.

Featuring Kettlethorpe
‘... Romantic spot embowered by trees.’
K
ettlethorpe is a village and parish in the vale of the River Trent, 10 miles west of Lincoln and 9 miles south of Gainsborough. The Fossdyke Canal passes just north of the parish and the River Trent forms the western boundary. Torksey parish is to the north and Newton on Trent parish to the south. Kettlethorpe was originally a Danish settlement dating from the 9th century, its name said to derive from the thorpe or hamlet of Ketil, a Dane, who at some time made it his home, situated between the already existing villages of Laughterton and Fenton. (Kettlethorpe is not mentioned in Domesday Book of 1086 — although nearby Newton on Trent is, for example — and is not seen in historical documents until 1220.) Coincidentally, Ketil’s countryman, Torkil, was resident in about 870 at a nearby important inland port to which he was to give his name, Torksey. Kettlethorpe Village has just 13 homes and 55 people, says its website, and it takes just minutes to walk from one end to the other. But though small it is perfectly formed. There is the church of St Peter and St Paul’ at the centre. I mean this both literally and metaphorically, since the church is a vital focal point for the community
and anyone attending its traditional Sunday morning services will enjoy a friendly welcome and fresh cup of tea at its conclusion. It’s really the place to be if you need to renew acquaintances and catch up on the latest village news.
annual event sponsored by the church and provided free to parishioners. The Kettlethorpe parish is fortunate in having a number of people who give their time and effort freely to support the community, this being one such occasion.
The churchyard has some interesting features and is set among mature yew trees, and beyond the back wall is an enclosed and tranquil plot of grassland that this year was the setting for the summer fête.
South of the church stands the imposing and largely Victorian pile that is Kettlethorpe Hall, focal point for much of the history of the village.
To the north of the churchyard there is a kissing gate exit to an avenue of lime trees leading towards an old rectory, the trees having once framed the rector’s route to church and back. Nearby is the Village Hall, recently refurbished to the tune of £ 50,000 and originally built in 1854 as a Sunday school. Frank Gourley, father of well-known local farmer Ian, bought the Village Hall after it had not sold at auction and rented it to the village for the nominal sum of £1 a year. Ian was to bequeath it to the village in 1960 in memory of his parents. The Village Hall is now used regularly for Women’s Institute, playgroup, parish council and other social activities, as well as for private parties. On Sunday 3 October the Village Hall will host the ‘Harvest Breakfast’, an
The whole scene is complemented by some period country homes and gardens to the west and, to the east, a gentle swell in the landscape applies the finishing touch to this ‘romantic spot embowered by trees’, says Thorold, and that’s a fair visual description of this village with a unique and important history.
More Kettlethorpe has a website, which outlines the village and its history, publishes forthcoming events and maintains a visitors’ book: www.kettlethorpe.com. The Katherine Swynford Society is a British group of knowledgeable enthusiasts whose aim is ‘to celebrate the life and times of Katherine de Roët ...’. They have a magazine, Katherine Wheel, and arrange meetings and visits: www.katherineswynfordsociety.org.uk. Kettlethorpe Sunday school, 1956.

Kettlethorpe Hall
I
t was Sir Hugh Swynford (c1340-1371), Lord of the manors of Kettlethorpe and Coleby, who established Kettlethorpe’s place in history. He married Katherine de Roët (pronounced Roay), from Hainaut, who later became mistress and then wife of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster and third son of Edward III. John married Katherine in 1396, an unpopular union and a remarkable demonstration of love in the days of dynastic marriages. The historical novel Katherine by Anya Seton, which became widely popular following its publication in 1954, was inspired by this story and this novel in turn inspired popular historian Alison Weir to write in 2007 a more bare-factual account entitled Katherine Swynford. Katherine’s sister, Philippa, was wife of the famous English poet, Geoffrey Chaucer. Katherine’s four children by John of Gaunt were eventually legitimised under the name of Beaufort. Katherine appears to have been regarded with respect by both Richard II (John of Gaunt’s nephew) and Henry IV (his son). In 1383 Richard granted her the right to enclose a deer park of 300 acres within her manor of Kettlethorpe, which survived until 1830. But it was a strict term of the legitimation of her children that neither they nor their heirs should ever lay claim to the throne.

An illustrious history This condition was simply ignored by Henry VII, whose mother was Lady Margaret Beaufort, great granddaughter of Katherine and John and Henry’s only claim to be in direct line of descent. Katherine died in 1403 and was buried in Lincoln Cathedral but the Swynford line continued at Kettlethorpe until the late 15th century. Only the gateway, some of the walls of the manor tower, parts of the moat and cellar remain from this time.
A local skirmish Charles Hall was owner of the Hall in the early 17th century and it was to remain in his family for three generations, spanning some 120 years. It was during his time, on 26 July 1645, during the English Civil War, that a skirmish took place at Kettlethorpe at which (according to Roundhead accounts) the Royalists were routed, suffering four casualties and being chased to within 3 miles of Newark.
The present Hall has a late 18th century drawing room with some !"#$%&'(()$*)+,$ on the ceiling and walls.
1860s out of the old manor by Weston Cracroft-Amcotts (who represented midLincolnshire in Parliament). The house is something of a history lesson in miniature, with some remarkable features preserved. As well as the medieval gatehouse, stone walls and some curious carved heads, there is a small 17th century oak-panelled room, an early 18th century panelled dining room in the old tower and a fine marble fireplace. The drawing room has a particularly fine stuccoed ceiling from the end of the 18th century, while the library and front hall are Victorian.
To the present
Charles was returned to the Commonwealth Parliament in 1654. The brick walls surrounding the garden date from this period, and his arms feature on one of the gate pillars — a talbot’s head (a talbot was a medieval hunting dog) and the initials CH. In the 18th century, Kettlethorpe passed from the Hall to the Amcotts family, whose arms are displayed over the house entrance. In this period Kettlethorpe became a very large house, and an obituary for Sir Wharton Amcotts MP in 1807 asserts that ‘... at no place was the old English hospitality kept up with greater spirit than at Kettlethorpe.’ But shortly thereafter it fell into disrepair, and the present house was reconstructed in the
In the 1980s Kettlethorpe Hall passed back into the hands of a Parliamentarian, the Rt Hon Douglas Hogg. In the 1990s wife Sarah was conferred the title of Baroness Hogg of Kettlethorpe in recognition of her services at Downing Street. It is a curious coincidence that the Hogg family arms, like the Swynfords’, consists of a shield bearing three boars heads. Acknowledgements We are grateful to Douglas and Sarah Hogg for providing access to their home and for material on the history of the Hall. The above account follows closely that written by Sarah in 2000, supplemented by a slim and authentically yellowed booklet from the library of Douglas, entitled The manor and rectory of Kettlethorpe by R E G Cole, Prebendary of Lincoln, being an extract from Vol 36 of Transactions of the Lincolnshire Archaeological Society, 1911.

Kettlethorpe Church
T
he Church of Saint Peter & Saint Paul serves the parishes of Fenton, Kettlethorpe and Laughterton. Built in 1809, it was described by William White in The Lincolnshire History and Directory of 1872 as the White Church, because it was built of cream brick. There has been a place of worship on the site since the 12th century and the original church features in a painting by Claude Nattes of 1793, a copy of which hangs in the church. The first recorded rector was a Richard de Keal in 1220. An application was made by Rector Charles Massingberd and Churchwarden Edward Waddington in 1808 to demolish the by then dilapidated church and rebuild on the same site. The cost was to be met by Lady Ingilby-Amcotts of Kettlethorpe Hall, with the proviso that ‘the selling of lead and other useless materials’
be set against it. In commemoration of the rebuild a Coat of Arms was painted by W P Pudsey of Gainsborough in 1812 and it hangs over the entrance. Little remains of the old church — there is a 15th century stone corbel with a shield bearing the arms of France and England, and slabs in the south aisle commemorating the Hall family. The tower, part built of stone from the old church, has three bells: one a pre-Reformation treble, hung in about 1710, with the inscription Sit nomen domini benedictum (may the name of the Lord be blessed); the others a tenor and second bell, both dating from 1718. A visiting archaeologist has suggested that a stone coffin (minus its lid) north of the churchyard may have been removed from the old church prior to demolition. It was common during the medieval age
The WI Rally
The pulpit has an interesting story. It was seen outside an antique shop in Brittany by Mrs Amcotts, in poor condition, covered in paint and stucco. She would buy it but only if it could be cleaned without damage. Mrs Amcotts left it with the dealer for a week and on return was
‘Mr Murray was especially pleased with the bottled fruits and said there was a greater variety. When he first judged there were 36% turned out but this year only 1% were not correctly sealed ...’ and later ‘We did not receive quite so complimentary comments on the dairy section. The judge thought we were poor butter makers, and it is up to us all next time to make it better. There must be no buttermilk and no salt.’ Quite right, Mrs A!
In 1934 Mrs E G Cracroft-Amcotts was president of the Lindsey Federation of Women’s Institutes. And it was on Wednesday 6 June of that year that the annual rally of the WI was for the first time held at her home, Kettlethorpe Hall. (Incidentally, the Kettlethorpe estate had been in the Amcotts family since 1743.) The rally was deemed a notable success, as a local paper gushingly reports:
6
The church was enlarged in 1864 by adding a north aisle. This contains monuments and stained glass in memory of the Cole family who were connected to Fenton for over 300 years and who were stalwart members of the church. The latest additions are the grave marker and citation awarded to Major N W WellsCole, killed in action in 1918, and that of Thomasina, wife of Victor Henry WellsCole, who died 3 June, 2002, aged 102.
There were tents containing handicrafts and produce and these were judged rather seriously as Mrs Amcott relates:
at Kettlethorpe Hall
‘Mrs Amcotts opened her heart as well as her home and her invitation to pick a bunch of flowers was symbolic of the thoughtful preparations for the comfort of her one thousand five hundred guests which she had been making for months beforehand. Kettlethorpe itself is one of those rare places which seem to reflect and enhance the charm of their owners and the fresh green lawns and rhododendrons glowing against the fine old trees were hosts in themselves. A Rally in such surroundings and with such a hostess must be a source of pleasure and inspiration to every Institute member.’
for deceased priests to be buried in such a coffin within the churchyard.
Not to be outdone, another paper reported that the total in attendance was nearly three thousand — though either total is impressive — and bore this quote from Mrs Amcotts, including the parenthetic ‘laughter’: ‘May I express my hearty thanks to you all for having come from all over Lindsey to honour us at Kettlethorpe Hall. We should have liked a little more sunshine but we are very thankful that those who came from the east and north left the rain behind them, and we shall be thankful for it tonight. (Laughter.)’
The event had some quaint features which WI members of today may care to note. There was apparently an orchestra; a Dr Gordon Slater, organist at Lincoln Cathedral, adjudicated a singing festival in the Village Hall, there was ‘massed singing in the Hall gardens’ and a ‘programme of mime’ was given by a number of WI groups, one of them entitled ‘Miss 1834 and Miss 1934’, while in the evening there were two performances of ‘living whist’ staged by members of the Kettlethorpe Institute and friends. Make of that what you will.

St Peter & St Paul, Kettlethorpe
amazed to find the pulpit fully restored and was told it had spent the week in a nearby river, with only the natural motion of the water having cleaned it. There are many epitaphs around the church. One of particular charm is that of John Becke (rector, 1576–97), who left £4 pa for distribution to the parish poor: I am a Becke or river as you know, And wat’red here in ye Church, ye schole, ye pore, While God did make my springs here to flow: But now my fountain stopt it runs no more: from Church and schole mi life is now bereft but to ye pore foure poundes I yearly left.

Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act of 1979 as being ‘of national importance’; and an oak tree planted in 2003 to commemorate the 600th anniversary of the death of Katherine Swynford.
The year 2009 was special for the church, marking the bicentenary of its rebuilding, and was celebrated by a number of events, a highlight being a service of thanksgiving and re-dedication officiated at by Rt Rev John Saxbee, Bishop of Lincoln, during which a message of congratulation from the Queen was read out.
Kettlethorpe Church has a regular flow of visitors from overseas who have made what they call the ‘Katherine Trail’. There is a permanent exhibition of the story in the church and a genealogical chart hangs in the porch showing how the present royal family is descended from the union of John and Katherine.

Kettlethorpe summer fete
T
here were no umbrellas on Saturday 3 July. Behind the church an array of stands and attendants waited in the sun for buyers or participants, though they were soon too busy for standing about. Ann Lister and Janet Willcock ran the raffle, there was jewellery and handmade cards made by ladies from Thorney and Wigsley and the stall that always ‘draws them in’ — wine or water bottles wrapped in newspaper — was supervised by Mr Mosedale, whose wife Sharon, with Anne Wingham on the next table, saw their homemade cakes and preserves rapidly disappear. Yvonne Redgrove had the bric-a-brac covered, with many tempting items, and Rita Atkin presided over a large selection of books with Lynn Rochester. Ted and Nora Evans ran a plant stall, and Lyn Peters and Christine Fogg attracted those who missed the raffles.

Seventy years ago in late summer, early autumn, the Battle of Britain was raging over Southern Britain, young men such as John Magee, from 412 squadron RCAF, who wrote the attached poem, were risking their lives daily in defence of our Country. Sadly, John Magee was killed in 1941, aged just 19 years. Today our young soldiers are similarly paying the supreme sacrifice in Afghanistan, not only for this country but the free world. The nation owes our brave service personnel a real debt of gratitude and we must support the families of those who have fallen, together with the wounded, not only of this conflict but in ones past, such as World War II, Korea, Malaya, Aden, Cyprus, The Falklands, Northern
Further along there was skittles with Tom Coates and penalty shoot-out and ski ball with Kevin Gilbert. The more unusual offers were ‘splat the rat’ and ‘milk the cow’, run by Victoria Jeal, with no fear of trouble from the RSPCA since the rats were fakes and the cow made of hardboard. There was Tin-can alley, Find a football/ teddy run by Laura Gilbert Bellamy and Claire Lister, face painting by Anna Rowntree, and ‘crack the safe’, by Barbara Gilbert. The latter game paid out at least two wins of £5 before two young fortunates were encouraged to try elsewhere. Trevor Richmond and Guy Lister were doing a fine barbecue while refreshments were served by Monica Farley, Audrey Payne, Gilly Nunn and Barbara Watson. Dick Wright scuttled about administering help where needed and Anne Lister organised the whole event. As ever,
LIVES were present with information, and Newton on Trent school had a large display of their activities. In the evening an open air ‘picnic in the park’ style concert was held by the Parker and Moores families. Over 110 people listened to the Kirks, a very popular musical group. In between DJ Jamie Kyme supported the act with his disco. The top raffle prizes were won by C Fowler (£100), Martin Cross (£50) and V Baker (£25). The PCC later issued thanks to all who contributed in any way to the resounding success of the fete. Elise Hawker, Lea

Ireland, Iraq and wherever they have served. They really do need your help and support. We are having a stall again this year, with the kind permission of Wilkinson Stores in Marshalls Yard, Gainsborough. As well as selling traditional poppies we will be taking orders for wreaths, sprays, etc. As usual we are seeking volunteers to help man the stall so if anyone can offer some spare time please contact me. The
more people who help, the longer we can man the stall and the more we can raise. Please don’t leave it to the usual few, come and join us and spread the load.

he first day of June signalled the coming of a new era at Lincoln Golf Club, Torksey, when the previous Manager of 12 years retired and John Cox took over. There was also a change in the Manager’s Assistant post, where Carol Jones assumed responsibility for accounting and administration. John was already a resident of Brampton and member of the Golf Club when the management opportunity became available. ‘For many years I ran my own commercial printing business, based near London. Having moved to Brampton nearly three years ago, I was looking for a new challenge in which to apply the commercial and communication skills I used in my previous company.’ In the current economic climate golf clubs have to work extra hard to maintain levels of membership and attract the all important visiting golfers. They provide the income to maintain course and clubhouse to the highest standard, which in turn attracts further players to the Club. ‘My philosophy is that we should strive to achieve the highest possible standards and to make sure that Lincoln is in the top echelon of clubs in the East Midlands region’. This means that the course — already one of the best in the area, with the quality of the greens in particular recognised as of the highest level — is the top priority for the Club.
John is also committed to improving relations between the club and the local community, which he sees as a vital part of his responsibility. ‘I have the impression since moving to Brampton that the Golf Club is not sufficiently integrated into the community; there is still something of a ‘them and us’ feeling between local residents and Club Members. I would like to change that, and give local people the feeling that having a very good golf course on their doorstep is a positive asset to them and their families.’ John underlines that membership is open to men and women of all ages (‘we recognise complete equality of the sexes’) for those already familiar with the game. For those wishing to take it up, there are two qualified PGA Professionals based at the Club, Ashley Carter and David Middleton, who can start you from the very beginning, and bring you up to a standard where you would be able to take up full membership; and if you have previously played the game but need refresher lessons then we offer that too. Lincoln is not a beginners’ course but nor is it intimidating, so once you have reached a certain standard you will be able to enjoy its wonderful mature layout, designed in 1903 by one of Britain’s greatest ever golfers, J H Taylor, one of the legendary Triumvirate*.
Of particular interest to those living close to the Club is its encouragement of junior golfers. Our youngsters can learn a wonderful game which they will be able to play all their lives, under expert group guidance of David, the Assistant Professional. They will then be gently guided into playing on the course through a programme of introduction by the Junior Organiser and her assistants. They will throughout experience a friendly, safe, and caring environment — where better for them to be in their school holidays than in the fresh air enjoying a game, with all the benefits of exercise and friendship with other youngsters? The Club is applying for the prestigious Golf Mark accreditation, granted in conjunction with the English Golf Union, which gives parents a guarantee as to the level of care, guidance and practical facilities that would be available to their children wishing to take up the game. So what is the message that John would like to give to the community in and around Torksey? ‘That while we are a first class course and Club, we are friendly, open, and available to all. The cost of membership, while not cheap, is less than many expect, and compared with other leisure activities is remarkable value for money if you use the facilities regularly. We hope that more and more local people will talk to us about joining and we look forward to having the best possible relationship with our neighbours. I will always listen to any problems that the local community may have as a result of being near to the Club, and we will do our best to address them. Best of all, we would like to integrate closely with the community, so we are seen as an integral part of things, and not as remote and inaccessible as perhaps some people expect.’ So the message is that ‘under new Management’ local residents can start to feel that Lincoln Golf Club can be a positive asset to their community.

Doctors for the future Collingham Medical Centre has been a training practice for over 20 years. We take pride in providing quality training, not only for doctors aiming to become GPs but also for medical students and district nursing students. Next year the pharmacy will take on a pre-reg pharmacist for our first one-year placement. will welcome calls regarding lessons and Club Membership and will be pleased to introduce anyone interested to the Professionals, the Junior Organiser, and other key people. The Club really is here for you to enjoy. * The Triumvirate refers to the three leading British golfers, Harry Vardon, James Braid and John Henry Taylor. They won The Open Championship 16 times in 21 tournaments held during 1894-1914, Vardon winning 6 times, Braid and Taylor winning 5 apiece. In the 5 tournaments the triumvirate did not win, one or more of them finished runner-up.

As with many things in general practice, GP training is changing. Previously, doctors needed to pass something called Summative Assessment to qualify as a GP and, if they wished, they could also sit the exam for membership of the Royal College of General Practitioners (MRCGP), which was considered the gold standard. Recently these two hurdles have been combined, as having two systems didn’t make sense The new requirement to qualify as a GP is known as the new MRCGP (nMRCGP). This consists of two exams, the AKT (applied knowledge test) and the CSA (clinical skills assessment). The AKT is a written exam and tests the candidate’s medical knowledge and, as its name suggests, the CSA tests their clinical skills, including their communicationw skills.

includes patient satisfaction questionnaires, appraisal by colleagues, assessments of their video consultations and case-based discussions with their trainer. This will take 3 years but there is a move afoot to extend GP training to 5 years. Time spent in practice has recently been increased from 12 to 16 months and in some parts of the country this is now 20 months. On a practice level we currently have one GP trainer (Dr Terrill) and Dr Lawrence is soon also to become a trainer. This will mean that we will always have at least two Registrars with us but on occasions we may have as many as four, as Registrars are spending more of their time based in General Practice. We appreciate that this sometimes impacts on our delivery of services, although we try our best not to let this happen. This can be particularly the case when we have a new Registrar with us who requires much more input from the experienced GPs in the practice. We hope you agree with us that the training of good General Practitioners for the future is of paramount importance for both the local community and for the UK as a whole. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our patients for their support in helping us to train the GPs of the future.
Another important requirement is the workplace based assessment, which

persuaded to do the barbecue. A number of people who do not play golf at the time remarked that if that’s the quality of the food that is served at the club they too may take up golf! It was excellent.
BRAMPTON village summer BARBECUE For the first time in almost 10 years Brampton held a village barbecue. The previous village ‘get together’ was for the Millennium celebration! Over the intervening period there had been a lot of changes, with a surprising number of new faces coming to the village, so at the Parish Meeting it was decided that it was once again time to hold a village event. This gave residents the opportunity to meet, some for the first time, and get to know each other better. Around 35 residents from the village gathered together on 14 August in the garden of Manor Farm Barn. A small number, you may think, but that actually

Naturally, with Lincoln Golf Club being within the Parish quite a high proportion of the residents play golf so Lee and Sam, the stewards from the Club, were

he Newton on Trent fête was held in the church and primary school grounds on 26 June 2010. Luckily, the weather was really lovely — a perfect bright and sunny day that drew quite a large crowd of visitors, and it was great to see so many children of all ages enjoying the games and activities. The main attraction was a ride around the village in an old-fashioned steam tractor and carriage, which proved very popular with all. The stalls and games were busy all day with a constant stream of visitors – a particular favourite being the homemade cake stall. Refreshments of jacket potatoes from the steam tractor firebox, new season British strawberries and cream and delicious cream teas were also on offer. It was a thoroughly enjoyable day for everyone and over £1000 was raised for Church funds. A big thanks to everyone. Mike Price Churchwarden St. Peter’s Church, Newton on Trent
Some 3,000 people turned up to the TVLP Time Travel event at Newark Castle on 31 July. Organised by Nottinghamshire County Council’s Community Archaeology team, the castle grounds were buzzing with battle re-enactments, Saxon craftsmen, a medieval armoury, historical storyteller and an executioner with a collection of cruel implements! Rarely open to the public, the castle doors were open for visitors to explore the castle roof, dark store rooms and cramped, dingy dungeons. People explored the history, enjoyed the food and saw the displays. ‘I learned plenty of new and interesting facts as my daughter went off in search of princesses’ and ‘The day showed just what a gem Newark Castle really is.’ were views from two visitors who posted letters to the Newark Advertiser (6 Aug 2010). Joanne Brookes visited with her family and 70 year old mother. ‘We were there for nearly five hours and thoroughly enjoyed it. There was something for every age group. The castle rooms were fantastic. Sadly, we didn’t get down to the dungeons as they were overwhelmed by the amount of people that registered to go down but the children were fascinated

September 2010 Bruce cuts a dash in his RAF uniform.
Bruce Minnitt
of Newton on Trent is Lincolnshire’s !"#$%$&%'(%)*)"+(+%$,(%,&-&."%&/%/"((+&0%&/%$,(%1)"2#,3
Philip Bruce Minnitt — Bruce to his friends — received a letter on 13 March saying he’d been awarded freedom of the parish. This appears to be the first such honour in the whole of Lincolnshire.
Newton-on-Trent, on the Sunday. The wedding cake was also Babs’ 21st birthday cake and the honeymoon was at the Victoria Hotel, Nottingham, the bill for the two nights being £3 17s 0d.
On 4 September 2010 a plaque was presented to Bruce by Andrew Arden, Chairman of Newton on Trent Parish Council. The plaque shall be hung in St Peter’s Church at Newton-on Trent.
After 66 years of marriage Mr & Mrs Minnitt are now the oldest living couple in the village. Sadly, some of Bruce’s colleagues were not so lucky. One friend, a fellow crew member, who had taken leave at the same time, also to marry by special licence, was never to return home to his new wife.
Bruce’s wife Sylvia Minnitt (nee Wilmot), known as Babs, was born and raised in Newton while Mr Minnitt was born in Laneham, just over the Dunham Bridge from Newton. Mr Minnitt first met his wife-to-be when he was standing outside the old blacksmiths’ in Newton when he saw a group of girls near the telephone kiosk. This first meeting was uneventful and Bruce, just 15 years old, went home sad of heart. At 17 Mr Minnitt volunteered as a pilot for the RAF. It must have been in his blood as his father, Bernard Minnitt, was a WWI hero, receiving a Military Medal and a Military Cross for service in the battle of the Somme. He died of old age just short of 95 years. Bruce’s new uniform must have had the desired effect because he soon became engaged to his teenage sweetheart. Then, in March 1944, Mr Minnitt was given a short leave because he was due for service in North Africa. He arrived home from where he was stationed in South Wales at 8 am on the Saturday and was married by special licence at St Peter’s Church,
After Mr Arden presented the plaque, Mr Minnitt made a fine acceptance speech. After thanking Andrew and the parish council for putting his name forward for the award he went on to explain why he thought he may have been nominated. Mr Minnitt has served 52 years on the parish council, from 12 April 1955 to 12 February 2007, during which he has been vice-chair or chair for 36 years. He was a school governor for 12 years and a member of the Parochial Church Council for many years. He was a member of the Gainsborough Rural District council for some years before the local government re-organisation act of 1974 made them all redundant and they were replaced by the newly formed West Lindsey District Council. Among his duties he has seen mains street sewerage arrive at Newton and the erection of old peoples’ flats. He was also district representative on the Lincoln Association of Local Councils and was fortunate in that capacity to be invited,

together with his wife, to the Queen’s garden party in July 1992. Mr Minnitt concluded by thanking his colleagues, wife, and family for their support over the years. After the presentation the people of Newton-on-Trent posed for a photograph of all the residents of the village, taken by Keris Eyton-Williams of nearby Fenton. This is the third photo of the village folk, the previous ones being in 1990 & 2000. I would like to know what Bruce intends to do with his newly acquired freedom of the parish but, whatever, congratulations to him for this unique honour.

4!$).%#'$-, at Park Farm David Willey On 21 June 1944 an aircraft on a !"#$!%&'$()()*%+(*,&%#'$-,./%()&"% 0$'1%23(!/()*-%$&%4$'5%6$'17%5(!!()*% 89.%"0%&,.%.(*,&%#'.:%1.12.'-;% The aircraft was a Short Stirling EH 940 from 1661 Heavy Conversion Unit, a training unit based at RAF Winthorpe near Newark, Nottinghamshire. Just minutes after take-off the pilot reported a fierce fire in one of the port engines and asked for permission to return to land at the airfield but the request was denied because the circuit was very active with aircraft taking off or landing. The pilot tried to gain height, hoping he might be able to land at Wigsley. At about 1800 feet above Fenton the pilot’s luck ran out as the other port engine lost power and stopped. The aircraft went into an uncontrollable diving turn to starboard and it crashed into farm buildings at Park Farm. Local land owner Ian Gourley from Hall Farm, Kettlethorpe, remembers the incident well. ‘I was working in a nearby field when I heard a strange noise which appeared to be getting louder and louder so I looked up and saw a large aircraft at rooftop height heading towards me, with flames and smoke pouring from one of its wings. My immediate thoughts were that the aircraft was going to hit a row of 40 ft high poplar trees which were only a few feet from the house at Hall Farm but luckily it missed them. The aircraft disappeared behind the house and the next thing I heard was a loud crash and then I saw some smoke and flames coming from some nearby farm buildings.’ Tom Cox, who lives at Saxilby, also has vivid memories of the crash: ‘I was working in the yard at Park Farm on a tractor which would not start. I went into one of the sheds for a cup of tea and while pouring it out I heard a terrific crash and the shed I was in collapsed on top of me. Then there was an unbearable rush of heat and the next thing I remember was crawling out of the shed through an opening in the side. Once I was outside I was amazed to see the full extent of the tragedy. The fuselage of the Stirling had split open in the centre and I saw some of the crew escaping from the stricken bomber. We tried to

help get the crew out of the front of the plane but the flames were so fierce we could not reach them and they perished in the flames. I will never forget the vivid memories of the crash at Park Farm as long as I live.’ At the enquiry into the crash the Board was told that the pilot, Flying Officer Bradbury, was on his first flight with a full crew. The Stirling had flown a total of 256 hours up to the time of the crash and had carried out 6 sorties with 15 Squadron, 4 sorties with 218 Squadron and a

further 10 sorties with 1661 HCU up to the time of the crash. The RAF Board of Inquiry listened to all the evidence and ruled that the crash was caused by failure of a cylinder head stud and inoperative power plant fire extinguishers. F/O Bradbury was exonerated from any blame for the crash. David Willey, Saxilby (With grateful thanks to Andrew Arden and Steve Jackson who provided supporting material for this article.)

Its story was related —perhaps one should say performed — by Sue Allen, well known for her talent as a storyteller. The President reminded members that orders for calendars should be received by 16 September. Now for some upcoming events: (i) a croquet day will be held at Woodhall Spa, 10 am - 4 pm, cost £8, (ii) there will be a quiz in Harby at 7 pm on 24 September, made up by teams of four, £6 per person, (iii) there is a new format for the Autumn Meeting at the Lawns on 27 September and for £4 you can discover what it is! and (iv) if you enjoyed the bright lights and customs of the Divali festival last year then put your name down for 16 November: £27.50 will get you a seat on the coach leaving Lincoln at 10.30 am. Lincolnshire Show (23-24 June): it is some years since we entered the competition but we did so his year and were awarded a good 76 points for our exhibit, prepared by Barbara Watson and Janet Wilcock.

<-%>%:'(&.%&,(-%&,.%-311.'%,"!(/$?-%$'.%#"1()*% &"%$)%.)/;%>%,"=.%?"3% ,$/%$%*""/%2'.$5; It’s generally known that the word holiday derives from ’holy day.’ In other words, taking a rest, putting your feet up, and taking time off from the grind of work became associated with a holy day. This was partly because Sunday, the Christian holy day, became the day of rest for most people, when they took a break from the chores of working life. It was also the holy day of the saint in whose name the local church was dedicated and a day of feasting and fairs, another precious day away from the normal grind of life. In this way time off work became associated with ’holy days’, or holidays.
Pat Green has promised to find Christmas gifts to send to our various longstanding friends in Romania this year. Our July speaker was Dorothy Wood, an artist in textiles used to make hats. Although Dorothy insists she is not a milliner, she gave a good impersonation by showing off the textiles used to make beautiful shapes and creations, with what seemed incredible ease. But nobody was fooled: these things are difficult. Raffle prizes were won by Diane Clark, Yvette Capes, Brenda Foyle, Margaret James, Mary Arden, Sharon Mosedale and Val Williamson. The competition for a decorated hat was won by Ann Close followed by Barbara Watson. <3*3-&%3@4@'$.2*$& It may still be summer but there were several autumn meetings and days out to be considered. The deputy President reminded us about the Autumn Council Meeting in Lincoln on 27 September, and a flower arranging day for 11 December. Please contact the Secretary Ann Dolling for further information. Newly added to the list is the festive day in Market Rasen on 14 October (10.30 -3. 30) when all kinds of activities will be going on; and 25 October sees an interesting evening in Marton village hall at 7.30pm. Pat Green, our ‘Romanian ambassador’, has asked for shoe boxes this year, to One unintended consequence of all this has been that time off has become associated with holiness. Connecting time off work with a ‘holy day’ could even suggest that leisure itself is holy. It certainly ascribes a spiritual significance to rest days, as they can be seen as a precious gift of God, more important than the other days of the week, which are not ‘holy days’ but the days of man, not God. It is the days we are not working which are called holy, and that holiness rubs off on the things we do on them. Rest is sanctified by association. Given the usual stress on the importance and virtue placed on hard work, this sanctification of rest is perhaps a little surprising. Why should doing nothing be associated with holy days, while work essential to provide food and sustain life happens on any old day of the week? Well, this elevation of rest to holiness reflects what we find in the Bible, where,

These will be collected by the October meeting. Our speaker agreed to talk to us despite having returned from France just a day earlier. Mavis Wilkinson brought to her talk on Famous Lincolnshire Characters a ready wit as well as good research. Considering that the list she had chosen included the mass murderer John George Haigh one might say the infamous were also included but Alfred Tennyson, Isaac Newton and Margaret Thatcher were undeniably famous, along with John Smith (the hunter/traveller aided by Pocahontas), Old Mother Riley, Chad Varah, Geoff Capes and William Marwood. I should add that the latter was a credit mainly because he invented a more humane ‘drop’ as hangman in Lincoln. Before his time, a prisoner might ask for a couple of lads to pull on his legs and minimise the strangulation! These however were the main subjects of her talk.

following his work of creation God rested on the seventh day, and called it holy. God wasn’t always busy, busy, busy. And Jesus himself in his ministry, withdrew from the crowds to find peace and quiet. It is good that rest days are described as holy days, because it reminds us in the hectic rush and busyness of modern life how important time off really is. So I hope you enjoyed your holidays, and didn’t feel guilty about having time off from work. When we’re on holiday, relaxing, we should let somebody else do the worrying. After all, it is these days off that are the holy days, the days blessed by God, not the days we are at work!

@$5.%a Break B":%8*,&-%-&$'& He decided to buy mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a Christmas gift. The next year he didn’t buy her a gift. When she asked why, he replied, ‘Well, you still haven’t used the gift I bought you last year!’ And that’s how the fight started ... I asked my wife, ‘Where do you want to go for our anniversary?’ It warmed my heart to see her face melt in sweet appreciation. ‘Somewhere I haven’t been in a long time!’ she said. So I suggested, ‘How about the kitchen?’ And that’s when the fight started ... My wife and I are in bed watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? I said, ‘Do you want to have sex?’ ‘No,’ she replied. I then said, ‘Is that your final answer?’ She didn’t even look at me this time, simply saying ‘Yes.’ So I said, ‘Then I’d like to phone a friend.’ And that’s when the fight started ... I tried to talk my wife into buying a case of beer for £10. Instead, she bought a jar of cold cream for £6. I said the beer
would make her look better at night than the cold cream. And that’s when the fight started ... My wife sat down beside me as I was flipping channels. She asked, ‘What’s on TV?’ I said, ‘Dust.’ And then the fight started ... My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary: ‘I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 200 in 3 seconds.’ I bought her a bathroom scale. And then the fight started ... My wife and I were sitting at a table at her school reunion, and she kept staring at a drunken man swigging his drink as he sat alone. I asked her, ‘Do you know him?’ ‘Yes,’ she sighed, ‘He’s my old boyfriend ... he took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear he hasn’t been sober since.’ ‘Wow!’ I said, ‘who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?’ And then the fight started ...
I rear-ended a car this morning. There we were by the road and slowly the other driver got out of his car. He was a dwarf. He stormed over to my car, looked up at me, and shouted, ‘I AM NOT HAPPY!’ So, I looked down at him and said, ‘Well, then which one are you?’ And then the fight started ...

Kinvena Homes support
Laughterton LIVES Kinvena Homes Ltd own and run The Elms Retirement Park, Torksey, and have been a regular donator to Laughterton LIVES for many years. Recently the LIVES team needed a further defibrillator at The Elms, where two current volunteers live, and a cheque for £1075 was duly presented by Kinvena to buy a second defibrillator. Richard Elliott, Laughterton LIVES Coordinator, said ‘We are very grateful to Kinvena Homes for this donation. Having a second defibrillator based in the parish of Torksey will help to make operations within the whole six parishes run more smoothly and means less travelling to hand over the kit bag. With two First Responders living on The Elms a very quick response is assured to Elms residents when they are on duty.’

Laughterton LIVES first responders became operational in December 2003. The team covers six parishes: Brampton, Torksey, Fenton, Newton on Trent, Thorney and Kettlethope (which encompasses Laughterton). The rural location of these parishes means that it can take 15 minutes or more for an ambulance to reach someone in need following a 999 call. Laughterton LIVES’ objective is to respond to a 999 call within 6 minutes. This speedier response can be critical in heart attack cases where chances of survival are significantly increased with early treatment. First responders are all volunteers and the Laughterton LIVES team have all been fully trained at the LIVES HQ in Horncastle. In 2009 the Laughterton LIVES team had 184 call-outs. Some of these cases were life-threatening but most are not. However, even in the less critical situations, having a trained volunteer

Rosamund Addison’s scrapbook history of village life It has been our good fortune to come across a book of newspaper cuttings compiled by Rosamund Addison of Fenton village, covering everyday items such as weddings, fetes, local flooding, WI, public meetings and other social events. Rosamund, circled in the centre of the photo along with her sister Isobel to the left, was daughter of Len Addison, Fenton’s butcher. The photo is of Kettlethorpe schoolchildren, c1917. The scrapbook is a ‘cash book’ with pasted in cuttings from the period 1934-8. The photo bottom right shows Rosamund’s handwritten date at the front of the book: ‘Jan 1934’. We shall print some excerpts from the book in the next issue.
