Correspondence I
would like to refer to part of the reply to myself [Geoff Davies, Torksey Lock Speeding]. It was stated that Shirley Shaw, parish clerk for Fenton has no responsibility for Torksey Lock. Why then in the section for contacts to the parish councils is Mrs Shaw listed to cover both Fenton and Torksey Lock? Is this just a case of buck-passing by people who like to be in these positions, but when a problem arises then it becomes someone else's section? Come on Parish Councils and the people who want to take on these responsibilities, work together and you may well get more done. Yours faithfully Geoff Davies

News from the Trentside Villages Marton Community Garden
Tiegan puts a hammer to good use making a bird box on opening day.
It was a lovely sunny day on May 14th for the grand opening of Marton’s community garden situated in the grounds of Marton Primary School. The Poppy Party was held at Little London Car Boot site on Sunday 12th June to raise funds for the Royal British Legion which celebrates its 90th anniversary year. Unfortunately the weather was probably the coldest and wettest of the summer so far. Despite the adverse conditions we have managed to raise over £435. Whilst we cannot thank everyone individually it truly was a community event, with games borrowed from Kettlethorpe Church and Newton-onTrent Post Office, donations and raffle prizes received from local businesses and, without a doubt, the huge amount of time and effort from all volunteers, whether baking cakes or braving the weather on the day. We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone for their support.

The garden was designed and created by Groundwork Lincolnshire and funded by the County Council and the Big Lottery Fund. The pupils and local community contributed to planning the garden and took part in a planting day. The garden itself is a lovely place for the pupils and local community to come and enjoy with seating areas to relax, a walk through the trees, a mini orchard, sensory path and canopied outdoor
classroom. The official opening took place at noon and the ribbon was cut by the chairman of Marton Parish Council, Steve Spence. There were lots of activities to try such as willow weaving, bird and bug box making, mosaic making, and the children enjoyed having their faces painted and listening to stories. If you would like to take a look at the garden check out the photographs on the Marton page of the Trentside Links website, including a panoramic view or visit the Marton Primary School website to find out more at:

Lincoln Cat Care Lincoln Cat Care was formed in 2004 by a group of cat lovers concerned for the welfare of cats not served by the larger charities. Manned entirely by volunteers the funds raised are spent primarily on vet treatments, neutering and food/litter. Volunteers are spread through the Lincoln area with each location covered, this area being no exception. Each week many abandoned, unwanted, stray or pregnant cats are brought into our care. The only restriction is the number of homes we can find to foster or give a new permanent place for these treasures to live. If you can give a home, either as foster or permanent, to a cat please call us on 01522 306195. Many injured cats, both stray and in homes, are treated using LCC funds, either entirely or by working with the
family; the priority being giving the cat the treatment needed as soon as possible. Different types of helpers are needed, those to tend kittens, those able to nurture senior or poorly cats or those able to boost our coffers by fundraising or holding an event. Some are able to give a lot of time and some a little, it all helps. If you can offer any help or suggestions please call 01522 306195. People are often surprised when they learn just how many cats are helped in their area, often only aware of those they’ve known. Sadly the number of cats needing help only grows so if you spot a stray or an injured cat please let us know, and more importantly, be patient, we may not be in a position to take it in immediately. Below is a recent litter from this area

Newton’s Outdoor Challenge The children of Newton-on-Trent Church of England Primary School all took part in a Problem Solving Day recently at Laughterton Scout Campsite. You can see them here rising to the challenges they were set. The staff, children and parents who were involved on the day had a great time and learned how to follow tracks, build structures, work with teams and support and guide each other through the ‘blind walk’. Many thanks to Mr and Mrs Barnard who set up our activities and helped us complete the tasks on the day. We will be back for more very soon!

Drinsey Nook
long the road between Lincoln and Gainsborough, part of which is now the A57, between Saxilby and Drinsey Nook there is Tom Otters Lane and also Tom Otters Bridge.
A village of porcelain, ploughing and fond memories.
D
rinsey Nook is a very small hamlet located at the junction between the A156 and A57 roads, about 8 miles from Lincoln. It was originally an island before the neighbouring land was drained, ‘Nook’ describing the slight projection of dry land among meadows subject to flooding. In the absence of earlier spellings one can only guess at
the meaning of Drinsey, which could have been formed from the Old English ‘Drenges ege’, meaning ‘Dreng’s island’. Despite being a place that most people pass through in their cars enroute to the A1 or Gainsborough there are tales to be told about Drinsey Nook, and some of them are very dark indeed.

They have a tale to tell....
The Terrible Tale of Tom Otter From a local newspaper dated 1850 In 1805 Tom Otter was a navvy engaged in enclosing the old Swanpool at Lincoln. During the time he was engaged upon the works he became acquainted with a girl, and after this acquaintance lasted some time the girl had a child by him, to which she duly swore, according to the practice at that time.Otter was taken up and ordered to marry the girl, the alternatives being matrimony or gaol. The marriage ceremony took place at Hykeham Church, and as usual, the parties stood between two Constables. Otter, on the very night of his marriage, was walking home with his wife, when, in the lane leading to Harby, he killed her with a hedge stake. Otter at the time had another wife, and this circumstance,
Trentside Links perhaps, might have induced him to act a more desperate part. On the day following the murder he was apprehended in Lincoln and at the Old County Hall was tried and found guilty of murder. He was sentenced to death and the Judge ordered that his body should be hung in irons and gibbetted upon the spot that the murder was committed. Before he was hung Mr Gazzard, blacksmith, went into his cell to measure him for the irons, but of so determined a character was Otter that he would not allow such a proceedings, and as he threatened the blacksmith with not the best treatment, he was not measured.
when the wind blew the gibbet irons rattled again, and swung to and fro with a strange screeching, groaning and complaining sound. There may be a few old people still living in the neighbourhood, who remember that wild windy Thursday, the 20th March in 1806, when Tom Otter was gibbeted, and how difficult it was to rear up the gibbet post, which was thirty feet high, on account of the wind; how Saxilby drawbridge broke down that morning, after the cart passed over bearing the body of the murderer with the gibbet irons fastened to it, and how when the post was erected, the tackle with which the men tried to hoist up the body broke twice - some said owing to the weight of iron and so injured one of the men underneath, that he died of his injuries on the following morning.
Thousands of persons were present to witness the death of the murderer, who was executed on the Some said it was a old gallows near to the judgement on the man: An example of gibbeting where for the iron bound body Union Workhouse. a body would be hung in irons Afterwards his body of the murderer had for public viewing. was encased in pitch, just been hoisted up to fastened in irons and the beam of the gibbet hung up on a high post in the lane, which post, when he it fell upon looked and said has been since been known as Tom with a sneer, "He'll never come down any Otters Lane. more," and that the words were hardly out of his mouth before the tackle broke By degrees the body fell away and again, and the murderers body, with mouldered to mother earth. The chains all its weight of iron, fell upon him and remained on the post, and have rattled to crushed him to the earth. and fro in many a storm until the present spring (1850) when the post and its When they were conveying him to appendages fell to the ground. Drinsey-Nook House he said, "I'm a dead man, killed by Tom Otter, who swore The tale continues from an excerpt he would murder me for appearing as from The Lincolnshire Times a witness against him. He has kept his November 22nd 1859 word." Fifty years ago, there was hardly a man to be found for twenty miles around Lincoln, who had courage enough to walk alone after dark, from the lane end at Drinsey-Nook, leading to Doddington, to the village of Saxilby. The road bore an evil name, for murder had been committed some few hundreds of yards down the lane, near DrinseyNook House; and if you looked, as you walked past, you saw the body of the murderer hanging on the gibbet, and
Great pains were taken to keep this accident a secret, nor was it much noticed at the time, as several people were injured on that day, through Saxilby bridge breaking, the gibbet post falling, and the spectators suffocating one another, to get sight of the body, with its iron fetters on, lying in the cart before it was gibbeted. The Sun Inn at Saxilby was densely crowded all that day, for it was in the room facing the Fossdyke where the body of Mary Kirkham was placed, when it
â—?

was removed in a cart from the the lane where it was discovered lying in a ditch. It was also that room where Tom Otter was brought on the day following the discovery of the murder, in a post chaise from Lincoln, by Samuel Tuke, one of the Lincoln constables, who kept guard over him in the post chaise and first saw the blood upon the murderers jacket, as the sun shone through the window of the Sun Inn; and they do say that the water in the Fossdyke was the colour of blood after the murdered body had passed over the Saxilby drawbridge. Through some omission no straw was put into the rickety old cart which bore the murdered body from Drinsey-Nook lane to the Sun Inn at Saxilby, so that there were stains of gore all the way along the Fossdyke and on the drawbridge, especially on the steps of the inn door. John Rowe's servants for years after declared that neither sand nor freestone, nor all the scrubbing in the world would ever remove those stains, and many a servant gave him notice to quit rather than attempt even to scour the door stone of the Sun Inn of which he was then landlord. For years after they say the cries as of a new born child, were always heard in the room where the murdered woman was placed for one night in every year, and that was every 3rd of November. It was on the 3rd of November that Tom Otter married her in the morning at South Hykeham and murdered her in DrinseyNook Lane, soon after 7 o'clock on the evening of that very day and only a few hours after he had married her. The hedge-stake used by the murderer was in the possession of George Cartwright of Thorney, up to nearly twelve months, from the evening when

woman lay on the table before him, at the Sun Inn, when he denied ever having seen it before. That hedge-stake was removed from its place, at the Sun Inn twelve months to the very day and on the very night the murder was committed twelve months before. It was found again the following morning, just as it was after the crime had been committed, and as wet as when Mary Wilson, of Saxilby, picked it up with the patten(shoe?) in the stubble close, on Monday morning the year before. For years after, no matter who had possession of the murderers hedge-stake, it was always found in the same close, wet with gore, on the morning of the 4th of November. The marks on the Inn wall at Torksey Lock were pointed out only some twenty years ago, where it was secured with iron hoops, and torn away in the night of the third year of the murder, by some unearthly power. It was the same when the landlord of the Peewee Inn, or Waves House, beside the Fossdyke took charge of it, and Dick Naylor, the blacksmith of Saxilby, made three strong staples to fasten it to the wall: even then it was torn away on the night of the 3rd of November, and the staples thrown through the blacksmith window into his bedroom. He had helped to make Tom Otter's gibbet-irons. It may be a saying still about Lincoln, for it was very common then, that a new rope, or a chain, or anything that required to be made very strong, was always ordered with a saying "Make it strong enough to hold Tom Otter's hedge-stake." The hedge-stake was at last burnt in the yard of Lincoln Minster, before the large round window, by order of the Bishop of Lincoln, as no doubt some few living can certify, though it was destroyed secretly and in the night.

Drinsey Nook at War
T
he little hamlet of Drinsey Nook is located several miles west of Saxilby, Lincoln at the junction of the A57 and the A156. The A57 runs from Liverpool to Lincoln and the A156 runs from this point to Gainsborough. The Fossdyke canal runs alongside the right hand side of the junction. At the beginning of World War Two and with the threat of invasion, in common with the rest of the country, all the road signs were taken down around Drinsey Nook, however to date the road signs around Drinsey Nook have never been replaced. In the early hours of Saturday the 16th of May 1942 a Handley Page Hampden bomber crashed in the field across the Fossdyke canal opposite the hamlet of Drinsey Nook. The Hampden, serial number P2120, was based at the 16th Operational Training Unit at Upper Heyford, Oxfordshire and was on a night cross-country navigational training exercise when the pilot lost control in cloud and crashed from a height of 8,000 feet. The aircraft went into a violent flat spin, crashed and burst into flames on impact into the field, killing three of the four crew onboard. Wartime Saxilby Police Constable Albert ’Tabb’ Smith was first on the scene. Tabb Smith recalls: “I was called out just after midnight to investigate the report of an aircraft crashing in flames, the location of the crash was very vague. However, eventually I located the crash in a field opposite Drinsey Nook corner on the Saxilby side of the river. The only access to the field was by cycling down to the end of West Bank, Saxilby and then walking crossing several fields. As I neared the end of West Bank I could see the aircraft well-ablaze in the field and as I approached the field gate I could see a shadowy figure lit by the flames of the burning aircraft, walking towards me

carrying a large bundle. As he got closer I eventually saw it was an airman with a white parachute tucked under his left arm. The airman seemed to be very dazed and he was nursing a very badly cut lip, he managed to tell me his name ’Sgt Mullaine’ and that he had jumped to safety just minutes before the aircraft crashed. Sadly the rest of the crew of three had not been able to get out and they had all perished in the flames. I noticed that he spoke with a soft Canadian accent. I looked after him until help came.” The three crew killed were removed from the wreckage and buried with full military honours at St John the Baptist’s Church, Scampton, three days later.

Even to this day when the conditions are right (a heavy dew) the area in the field where the aircraft crashed can be clearly seen as the soil is a slightly different colour to the rest of the field.

The Prisoner of War Camp at Drinsey Nook
D
rinsey Nook had a prisoner of war camp. It was built at the end of 1942 and housed Italian POW. Guarded by British soldiers security was quite lax as each morning they would go to various farms around the area to work. At the end of the war it was converted into a German resettlement camp for German people who chose to stay. One such man was Hans Schipke who was in the German Navy on a "U" boat and was initially held in Camp 52 in Retford before moving to Drinsey Nook at the end of the war. He soon fell in love with a lady called Joan Baker. They married and settled in Fenton where they lived until Hans passed away a few years ago. His wife Joan remembers her husband as a wonderful father and husband who is now sadly missed. Above: A map of Drinsey Nook with the POW camp circled. Left: This building is believed to be the main cook house. If you have any further information on the POW camp please get in touch via Trentside Links.

Cottam Wind Farm Update In previous issues of Trentside Links we have reported on the proposed wind farm at Cottam. The proposal as shown on the Bassetlaw District Council website is for: Erection of twelve wind turbines, with a maximum height of 145m, one 100m high meteorological mast, substation, temporary construction compound, access tracks and associated site infrastructure. The application was previously refused but an appeal has since been lodged and is under consideration. If you want to keep up-to-date yourself on the Cottam wind farm application you can do so by visiting the Bassetlaw District Council planning site at: http://www.bassetlaw.gov.uk/planning/ and entering the Application Number: 12/09/00001 There is a wealth of information on the Bassetlaw District Council Planning site including proposed views from Gate Burton & Trent Port Lane — and although strictly speaking some of it lies outside the Trentside Links area it could have a visual impact for us. Want to express your view on the wind farm? Email the editor and we will print your letter.

Neighbourhood Policing Team As you are all well aware, the village played host to a large gathering of the travelling community recently and we are aware that some of you may have encountered some issues with this. Now, straight away, let me say that I write this column to you as a Police Officer, and as such have to remain impartial, fair and with no personal or political agenda. We have tried to liaise throughout with members of the travelling community, the Parish Council, the land owner, the shopkeepers, landlords and residents of the village, not to mention the local Neighbourhood Watch co-ordinator and other Police Officers, but we are also aware that through rumour, gossip and general information, that we are not aware of everything, good or bad, that may have occured during the event, and since. In that respect, we are trying to put together a fair assessment on the impact of the event on the local community and its residents and businesses. As such, we would like to hear from anyone who has had any adverse or police-related incidents as a result of the event. Note again...good or bad, and from any person.
We are trying to gain information on the overall effect of the event, in the same way that we have asked the residents of Saxilby about the effects that the Lincolnshire Show has on them, so everything from crime, parking, traffic, noise nuisance, or benefit to the local community is open to comment. We will not tolerate however, any general or biggotted abuse of any group or person. We would also hope to be able to pass on any relevant findings to your parish councillors, etc in due course, but please remember, if you don't say anything at all, the chances are that we may not know, or cannot help. As I'm sure you know, the organisers of the event wish to have it as an annual meeting, and this will be discussed in due course, and for the record, the organisers wished me to pass on their thanks to the local community for 'putting up with them' as they put it, whilst they were here. As if by magic, we will be having a Police Surgery...a posh name for a chat and a cuppa...at the village hall on Tuesday 12th July 2011 between 17:00 and 20:00hrs. That should also give a lot of you who often find that these things only take place during the day when you are working, the opportunity to come along. It will be very informal, no presentations, speeches etc but just the chance to pass information both ways, keep us informed of any issues within the village, or just

come and have a nosey to see who the local copper is! Finally, just to remind everyone, the same advice every year still applies to crime prevention in the (hopefully) hot summer days ahead. Don't leave your ground floor windows and doors unlocked and go out, or go around to the rear garden with everything open at the front. Don't leave bikes and expensive toys lying out all over the front lawn at the end of the day if you expect to see them again in the morning. Don't leave car windows down with laptops/iPods/satnavs lying on the seats, and then leave the car unattended... somebody will relieve you of the burden of owning them. But most importantly, get out and enjoy the good weather. It won't be long until we are complaining about the cold and the dark nights again. I'm personally thinking of arresting anyone that complains of too much sun after this winter! Remember to call us for any policerelated matter at all on any of the numbers below, and take care.

t was a promising day, and by noon all the tables and games were set out as a steady stream of visitors wound their way round behind the church. This has to be one of the best venues to hold a fete in what seems to be the middle of nowhere - deceptively. Gentleman were busy on the barbeque before long, and opposite a lovely selection of scones, creamy gateaux and strawberries were ready for those with a sweeter tooth. A particularly good display were items by the elderly residents of North Clifton Hall. The ladies responsible for activities there showed many kinds of knitted toys, animals, badges and bags made by the residents whose happy faces beamed at us from their photos on the stall. Ann Lister had a raffle near the entrance, and one of the biggest Tombola stalls I've
ever seen in one place was at the far end, near a set of skill games; ski ball, skittles and penalty shoot-out. Other games were less competitive but just fun; guessing the combination of a safe to collect the money inside drew the attention of many young hopefuls, perhaps beating the invitation to milk a cardboard cow, or there was face-painting, nail art, knocking cans off a pile, or trying to win a rather fetching meercat.
cards, oh, and sported a notice saying 'fresh cabbage' to be had! The odds and everything stall had some unusual items, such as a Churchill in china, looking rather like a garden gnome. Another busy stall had bottles wrapped in newspaper, and the luckier winners found wine not water inside. Mostly I imagine for the young ones, there was fancy jewellery, and of course it wouldn't be a fete unless it had room for home-made cakes and sweet fancies, many items were made by the stallholders Anne Wingham and Sharon Mosedale.
Last but not least the local LIVES organisation was present and Dr Roger Jay dressed in medieval costume, with his deep knowledge of the Katherine Swynford Society - he is Rita Atkin and Chris chairman. Newton school Fogg maintained a large were well-represented with table of books, CDs and copies of their book of The children had a great videos, and Woodland time at "Milk the cow" school life and activities at Creations showed off their school. beautifully finished woodwork, some Funds raised from the day totalled ÂŁ1200 with natural veins in the polished bowls. from the Fete and ÂŁ615 from Another table sold hand-made greetings the raffle.

Sponsored Karate Kickathon raises over £500 for Japan
The students in action
M
embers of the Sho Gai Karate Dojo, based in Kettlethorpe, have raised over £500 for victims of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami. Like most people we watched in horror as the disaster struck Japan and continued to cause devastation, firstly with the earthquake, then the tsunami and then the aftershocks and nuclear emergency. In fact we know a karate student from another club in our association who had been in Tokyo for a few months training at the JKS headquarters. The following is an extract from his blog: Friday March 11th further update "Thanks for all the comments and good wishes. Tokyo is still shaking and we are still experiencing many aftershocks. Today will live long in my memory. It was an extremely frightening experience. I think it was sometime between 2.30pm and 3.00pm that I noticed some shaking in my apartment. By the time I got out to the front door there were three other people there and we all decided that it would be best to go outside as every second that passed the quake was getting stronger. We were running for open space by the time we reached the open street. People screaming and running everywhere. I was not only concerned about the buildings collapsing but also the many power lines overhead. I eventually found a wooden frame to hide under by a fork (split) in the roadway. Every building and power lines were swaying violently and the ground was like jelly. Eventually, after what seemed like an eternity, the fierce shaking stopped but the whole place was still swaying. It felt like being on a boat. Eventually I made
16
my way to a small park where I often go for an hour to sit and think. There must have been a couple of hundred people there just standing and waiting for the shaking to stop. There were lots of choppers in the sky and I could see on the news that many places around Tokyo were on fire. It was obvious from the news that there was much devastation and many many people dead or injured in northern Japan. Thoughts and prayers must go to those people. We have got away lightly in Tokyo by comparison."
event the huge success it was. The money has gone to the Red Cross Japan fund. Afterwards a small party was held to celebrate the achievement and students brought cakes and soft drinks. The karate club is part of the Japan Karate Shotorenmei (JKS), one of the largest shotokan karate organisations in the world and has strong links with Japan. The club meets every week on Mondays and Wednesdays at 6.30 to 7.30pm in Kettlethorpe Village Hall. New members are always welcome. Should you wish to find out more please contact Duncan Blades (3rd Dan JKS) on 01427 718348 or email duncan@bladesltd.co.uk www.shogai.webeden.co.uk
It was during our first training session after the earthquake and tsunami had struck that the club decided to do something to help. So, on the 23rd May teachers and students, whose ages range between 6 and 51, took part in a sponsored kickathon where everyone had to perform one thousand karate techniques within one hour. A large circle was formed in the dojo where everyone could see each other. This way if a student was unsure what to do it was easy to copy what someone else was doing. A variety of kicks, punches and blocks were done
Elizabeth Moore's fantastic cake which was much needed after the event!
in sets of 100, carefully orchestrated by Simon Bligh sensei (4th Dan JKS), helping everyone to count down to the magic 1000. The event was organised by Elizabeth Moore who distributed letters and sponsor forms, and collected the monies. Photos were taken by Jon Oliver. Our thanks go to everyone who sponsored our students and helped to make this

Reports from the Kettlethorpe and District Women's Institute May 2011 Report The Spring Group Meeting was held in Kettlethorpe Church and hosted by our members. With a title of 'Flotsam and Jetsam' anything could have happened, but the speaker, Mr Nick Grounds, used his diverse talents of Auctioneer and Flower Artist to give a brilliant talk. The church looked its best too, which together with tea and cakes, gave everyone a lovely evening. At the following members’ night, the President announced that the June garden meeting would be in the village at the home of member Doreen Wright, and even if the weather doesn't promise, well, she has a garden room! The University is putting on a forensic science day on July 21" and there will be a treasure hunt at Collingham on Monday June 27, 6pm. It was proposed that a trip to see the Tuxford windmill might be arranged, possibly in autumn. It would be an evening visit with refreshments. On June 25th a féte will be held behind Kettlethorpe Church, and the day after a jazz band will play for bring-your-own picnics at the same venue.
18
Finally, a community project is being arranged to bring a well-lit Christmas tree and effects to Laughterton, to pay for which we shall hold a car boot sale, possibly in September. If anyone has items for sale, please bring them along to the September meeting, or contact Janis Willcock for details. Our speaker was Yvonne Redgrove, a local lady who specialises in collecting perfume bottles. I certainly didn't realise they were collectable, very pretty certainly but isn't it what is inside the bottle that's important? Apparently not, this is world-wide collectable and Yvonne has travelled to places like America and Japan to find her treasures. Large sums change hands - one she remembers sold for 50,000 dollars in America. That is one place to be for enthusiasts, France because of Lalique. Even Fabergé set out to entice with their beautiful designs. Yvonne is quite disinterested in the perfumes themselves, caring only for two she uses.
June 2011 Report This was our annual garden meeting, somewhat dreaded after a week of unsettled surprises but in the event the weather was kinder than last year. If I say fun and games had been arranged in Mrs Doreen Smith's lovely garden this must not be misconstrued, since the evening was young and all gentlemen had been left at home. The committee had dreamt up items of both luck and skill which made for a very relaxing time, and
this was followed by gorgeous strawberry and chocolate gateaux, ferried down eager throats by Pimms and other fruity concoctions. Winners of the quiz, all connected with our feathered friends were the team of Gill Kyme, Linda Mullally, Toni Richardson and Val Williams. No - it wasn't too easy. Would you have guessed that the answer to 'following behind the boat' was a kittiwake?

The United Benefice of Collingham
with South Scarle, Besthorpe, Girton and Spalford, Winthorpe, Holme and Langford,Clifton, Harby and Thorney From the Churchwardens Our vicar in charge during interregnum is the Area Dean, Tony Tucker. He has the whole deanery to look after, all 76 parishes, and so his role is inevitably that of co-ordinator of visiting priests. However, Tony is always available to address particular pastoral issues and can be contacted through churchwardens or Marion Collins. Marion has also asked me to remind everyone that Vestry Hour, when you can discuss your needs for baptisms, weddings, funerals, or any other pastoral matters takes place at the Rectory on the first Monday of every month from 7.00 – 9.00pm. If the first Monday is a bank holiday then it is moved to the second Monday. We wish you an enjoyable summer season. Marie, Nick, Pat and Ronwen From Canon Dendle French – one of the retired clergy who generously give their time to our parishes. HOLIDAYS & RED LETTER DAYS Dear Friends What’s the first picture that comes into your mind when you hear the word ‘Holidays’? Lying on a sun-drenched beach? Licking an ice-cream on a seaside pier? Tramping across hills with glorious views? July and August are traditionally holiday months and many people, particularly those with children, will be enjoying their own special way of spending a holiday. You probably know that the word holiday comes from Holy Day – special days in the Church’s calendar, such as Christmas and Easter – holy days that have become holidays. So what about Red Letter Days? Nowadays a Red Letter Day is any day of special significance – a Royal Wedding, Ladies Day at Ascot, Graduation Day at University. Then there are also family Red Letter Days: a wedding, a special anniversary, Father’s Day, a 95th birthday, for example.
22
Where does the phrase Red Letter Day come from? Like holiday it comes from the Church’s calendar. In the first English Prayer Book of 1549 special Holy Days were printed in red ink. They were literally red letter days and included all the important saints and major festivals like Christmas, Epiphany, Easter, Ascension Day and Whitsunday. Over
What’s the first picture that comes into your mind when you hear the word ‘Holidays’?
460 years later, our ‘Common Worship’ Prayer Book still prints them in red in the calendar. So what are some of the Red Letter Days in July and August? St Thomas’ is on July 3rd. He is sometimes called Doubting Thomas because he did not believe the Apostles’ report that they had seen the risen Christ. He wanted to see for himself and when he did he exclaimed the finest profession of faith in the New Testament: ‘My Lord and my God!’ An early tradition recounts that he travelled to India to preach there and to this day the Mar Thoma Church of South India claim that their church was founded by the saint in 52 AD. July 22nd is St Mary Magdalene’s Day. She is famous because she was the first person to meet the risen Christ after his Resurrection. St James’ Day is on July 25th. The Gospels tell us that James and his brother John were fishermen like their father Zebedee and that they left their nets, boat, father and all when Jesus bade them follow him. Later with Peter, they formed a kind of inner circle of disciples who shared some of the most significant moments of Christ’s earthly life. The New Testament records his death at the command of King Herod Agrippa:
he was beheaded in the year 44 AD. There is a tradition that his body was taken to Spain and the site of his burial in Santiago de Compostela has become a popular place of pilgrimage. [If you have been there, we’d love to hear about it!] The Blessed Virgin Mary August 15th. On the continent and in many Latin American countries, August 15th The Assumption of Mary is an important holiday. It is a dogma of the Roman Catholic Church that Mary “having completed the course of her earthly life was assumed body and soul into heaven” (Pope Pius XII, 1950) Although the Assumption of Mary is not an Anglican doctrine, August 15th is celebrated as a red letter day in honour of Mary, the Mother of our Lord. St Bartholomew’s Day is August 24th. He is famous for having a hospital named after him (Barts) in Smithfield, London. It was founded in 1123 and is the oldest surviving hospital in England. It has existed on the same site for nearly 900 years. As well as the Red Letter Days there are many noted Christians in the Church’s calendar whose names are printed black, for example St Swithun is on July 15th when we keep a look out for the weather! William Wilberforce (July 30th) campaigned for the abolition of slavery for 26 years until the passing of the Slavery Abolition Act in 1833. His health had deteriorated during his final years and he died just 3 days after he had been assured of the successful passage of the bill in Parliament. Mary Sumner (August 9th) was the founder of the Mother’s Union which started as a meeting in her rectory home and is now a world-wide Anglican organisation with more than 3.5 million members. We certainly are “surrounded by a cloud of witnesses” many of them ordinary men and women with extraordinary faith, determination and commitment. We thank God for them and pray for grace to follow them in faith and hope and love. So, remembering that holy days have grown into holidays, have a happy time if you are planning one and spare a thought for those for whom a holiday is an impossible dream. Dendle
