NOVEMBER 2020

NOVEMBER 2020 - EDITORIAL Autumn cometh, leaf turneth Day shorteneth, dark lengtheneth – and so we move into another turning of the year. Who can tell what the next will bring, and who could have foretold what the one almost gone was to have brought us? However, there’s evidence a-plenty in this month’s issue of Woodbury News of the resilience and spirit of our community in finding ingenious ways to keep going and keep in contact, despite all the restrictions Covid-19 has thrown our way. And we are among the more advantaged, when compared with the situations of less fortunate communities such as that noted by Hope4Kibera (see p17) and the Tanzanian townships supported by Christchurch (see p5). Christmas will no doubt be celebrated in Woodbury as elsewhere, but, for many of us, not as we usually know it. Families will not be able to get together in the normal way; carol services will not be held in the normal way. We can however, still maintain essential links with our friends through the sending of greetings. Woodbury News offers a way to do this through ‘virtual’ greetings (see p30) and there’s the chance to support a community such as Kibera by purchasing real cards (see p17). But let’s think of all the positives. The Woodbury Living Advent project is going to ‘break the Covid blues’ by lighting up Woodbury village in the leadup to Christmas – and it would be lovely to see more windows than ever this year adorned and lit up (see p8). The reports from our two schools are full of encouragement and inspiration as they tell us of all the many exciting projects going on in the cause of education, education, education. Our social groups are rapidly adapting to new ways of interacting, and community spirit is wonderfully evident in the mammoth operation to clear Woodbury Salterton’s brook and prevent flood damage – our cover picture records this heroic effort! Finally, on a poignant and rather sad note, please read the story of the cottage in Exton which was bombed in WWII, set fire to, and rescued by the Topsham fire brigade, only to be destroyed by the amount of water they pumped onto it (see p16).

FLOODLIGHTING ST SWITHUN’S CHURCH 7 October “To celebrate the Silver Wedding Anniversary of our daughter and son-in-law Debbie and Andy Williams, love Mum and Dad and all the family.” 15 November “Anna Eyres - Happy Birthday Mum, Hope you have a super day, love from all the family.” For your special event, contact Mike Jeans 01395 232544. Floodlight dedications are displayed on the church noticeboard at the lych gate, and normal service will be resumed as soon as possible. Editor’s Note : In order to maximise submitted copy and photographs into Woodbury News, it may be necessary to reduce the size of some items. The Editorial team will attempt to do this as carefully as possible.

6 ST SWITHUN’S LYCH GATE STALLS DURING LOCKDOWN St Swithun’s managed to do some essential fundraising during lockdown by holding scaled down lych gate stalls on some sunny Saturdays in August and September. We were lucky that it was a time when gardeners had a lot of extra time to spend in the gardens and, as a result, there was plenty of fresh produce being donated each week to the produce stall. The government restrictions meant that we were not allowed to sell our popular bacon butties and other delicious cakes and pastries, but a lot of people supported the stall and a good amount of money was raised each week, totalling around £600.

In addition, church members Nat and Val Bradley baked their famous pies, pasties and Eccles cakes, themselves raising several hundred pounds for church funds. Donated stationery goods swelled the items for sale and added to the profits. Current restrictions mean that we can no longer operate a stall indoors, as we cannot guarantee only six people will come! More like 36 in the ‘good old days’. Hopefully at some time in the future lych gate stalls will run again and villagers can meet up as before. Lin Ashby

7 CHURCHYARD UPDATE The group involved in the wilding of St Swithun’s churchyard have been very busy over the past few months scything and strimming back the grass on the east side of the church. This will allow the seeds from the flowers we saw in the spring to re-seed ready for next year. This is now almost complete. The council have also mown the west side, which they will continue to manage as before. As well as dealing with the grass, several graves have been cleared of ivy and self-seeded shrubs, revealing interesting inscriptions and engravings. A compost area has been created so that we can dispose of our mowings environmentally without too many visits to the tip. The north side of the church will be left to provide shelter for over-wintering species. We are aware that not everybody in the village has been happy about the appearance of the churchyard this summer. However, we are working with EDDC on this project as they are developing a greener approach to the environment, as is the Church of England. It was always agreed with EDDC that they would continue to maintain the west side where the war graves are, and which is the most visited part of the churchyard. To quote EDDC: ‘Rewilding will not be appropriate at every space and there will always remain a need to keep some areas cut tight with short grass, giving a more manicured appearance’. Revd Bill and I met with a representative of those concerned and there was a suggestion that the north side could be left, and that the grass at the side of the paths approaching the south door would be kept strimmed, to present a tidy appearance looking up the church path. Also, if residents have particular graves they would like kept tidy, we will do our best to achieve that. Sue Hudson CAMERA CLUB CALENDAR

8 WOODBURY COMMUNITY PLAYING FIELDS (WCPF) Drainage Work We are pleased to announce that WCPF have been awarded a significant grant from the SUEZ Communities Trust to undertake the installation of a Hydraway Sports drainage system for the old football pitch. This grant has also been supplemented by funds received from Devon County Councillors’ locality budgets. During the winter months the football pitch and the playpark are often unusable due to excess surface water and mud. The drainage work, which is due to commence in a few weeks’ time, should resolve this issue. As a result, the playing fields should be usable all year round. We would like to thank the SUEZ Communities Trust, Councillors Richard Scott, Jeff Trail and Christine Channon, and the Parish Council for their support with this project. We will publish regular progress reports and photographs in Woodbury News. Gary King, Chair WCPF WOODBURY LIVING ADVENT 2020

FORTHCOMING EVENTS

We are not listing any of the anticipated forthcoming events this month, and we will re-consider this decision for future editions of Woodbury News.

9 WOODBURY GARDEN CLUB Unfortunately the November and December club meetings have had to be cancelled. However, Garden Club is still active! The club looks after the four planters in the Arch, and a group of members has been diligently watering and dead-heading over the summer to keep them looking good. Now we have removed the summer bedding and replaced it with violas, which will flower during the autumn and winter, joined later on by crocuses, grape hyacinth and some mystery bulbs too (saved by the late Jean Carpenter but the label was lost!). And of course the daffodils will be there in the spring for a cheerful hit of yellow. We chose violas and the new bulbs because the flowers will be a nectar source for earlyflying insects – in fact the first visitor was spotted as the plants were watered in.

Unfortunately the bag of compost we had stored nearby to top up the planters had disappeared – if anyone knows what happened to it we would be glad to hear. Last November we held a very enjoyable plant sale and coffee morning, which of course will not be possible this year. However, there are some house plants available at the moment, which will be listed on the website woodburydevonplants.wordpress.com, where other plants will also be listed as they become available – for example, there may be some hardy perennials available later on.

10 FRIENDS OF WOODBURY SURGERY We are still soldiering on! Although we are not able to offer a driving service at present – due of course to Covid-19 restrictions – we have a very loyal band of volunteers who are continuing to deliver medications to those unable to get to the surgery. If you feel you would like to offer help in this way, please do get in touch with us (phone number below). At present, volunteers collect prescriptions from the surgery dispensary on Tuesdays and Fridays, and then deliver them to patients in Woodbury and Woodbury Salterton, plus a few to outlying areas such as Exton, Aylesbeare, Farringdon and Clyst St Mary. The system works through the WhatsApp platform, so you would need to be able to access this if you want to join the team. Other types of help offered include newspaper deliveries, posting letters and help with shopping. We do not make a charge for these services, and so we are extremely grateful for any donations that are given towards the running costs of the organisation. In those well-known words: every little helps! A very big thankyou to all our willing volunteers and those who have helped us with donations – we know that the services we provide are greatly appreciated. And finally, if you feel that you need help from us, or would like to offer help, the number to ring is 01395 206123. Val Arndt (FOWS Coordinator) WOODBURY AND DISTRICT ROYAL BRITISH LEGION The Remembrance Service will take place on the village green on Sunday 8 November at 14.45. Michael Owen will play The Last Post and Reveille and Christine Grist and Revd Bill will lead the prayers followed by the laying of the wreaths. We ask that you adhere to the Covid-19 rules, the wearing of masks, social distancing and staying in your bubbles. There will be hand sanitiser available if needed, but best to have your own. Armistice Day - 11 November, a short service of Remembrance at the war memorial at 10.50 to observe the minute’s silence at 11.00. Michael Owen will join us for The Last Post and Reveille and Christine Grist will lead the prayers. Covid-19 rules apply as above please.

Ken Green Ken Green is one of our oldest members, along with Rosemary Maggs and Betty Woodruff - they always came to coffee morning come rain or shine and are missing it very much. Ken will be 94 years old on 11 November and was able to join the Army before the 2nd World War finished. He is very proud to have witnessed VE Day. This year he, Rosemary and Betty will not be able to come to the green - all are over 90 years old. ROYAL BRITISH LEGION POP-UP POPPY SHOP SATURDAY 31 OCTOBER FROM 10.00 TO 12.00 WOODBURY VILLAGE GREEN The Pop-Up Shop is in the open, with a one-way system in operation, social distancing, wearing of masks, just like going to a shop. We will have paper poppies, poppy pins, the VE Day pin, wooden crosses and other goods. We are only able to take cash or cheques. We feel that there are a lot of people not too eager to go into shops and pubs so Gill Dougal, Chris Lear and I will do our best to keep everyone safe. We will have an open-sided gazebo available if damp - all Covid-19 rules have been observed and I have done a risk assessment approved by Devon County RBL (also for the two services). All money is for the Poppy Appeal, of course. Sandra Huish

12 WOODBURY VILLAGE GOLF SOCIETY Two Villages Challenge at Exeter Golf and Country Club - 10 September Many years ago the landlord at the Swan in Lympstone challenged the landlord at the White Hart in Woodbury to a golf match. This all went well until the landlord at the Swan started to import top players who were not members of the Woodbury Village Golf Society. After this, it turned into a members-only contest, but players from Lympstone reduced so the format has been changed to Woodbury versus the Rest of the World! A trophy known as Walter (after Walter Hagan) was presented by the late John Adams, who was the founder member of the Society. This year the Two Villages Challenge started badly - teams representing Woodbury and the Rest of the World were recruited/selected by their Captains and Vice Captains - John Beevers and Graham Jackson for Woodbury and David Moore and Simon Davies for the Rest of the World. John Beevers worked hard to ensure a great day on 27 August only to be thwarted by the weather - great decision was made to postpone as the rain in the afternoon was torrential. So all was rearranged for 10 September, the weather was great and John Beevers did a tremendous job in organising and re-organising it all. The match was at Exeter Golf and Country Club and tee times were preplanned with first tee off 11.10, and thereafter 10 minute intervals. There were five groups of four with 90% handicap difference to the lowest handicap. After the game there was a pint and an excellent pasty served in the marquee on tables of four, which were separated out. All this for a great price of £28 each. It was a great day which everyone enjoyed - such a shame that this will be the only WVGS outing this year. Thanks go to Steve Brown, who stood in at the last minute to replace Peter Payne, as he was unable to join us due to Covid quarantine. Interestingly, instead of a par 3 nearest the pin, there was a nearest the pin in two on the par 4 13th hole, with £25 on offer. This was won by John Maidment who also scored a two! The pot was £55, £10 was found on the golf course and John B contributed £1 so with 6 twos £11 each. The other winners were Graham Jackson, Simon Davies, Charlie Stafford, Bob Thomlinson and Alan Quantick. So who won Walter? It was Woodbury with a decisive 4-1 win. Peter Heron, our Chairman, certainly has done a brilliant job on Walter's restoration, but his storage does seem to pose a problem. Graham elected to take him home only to find there was insufficient storage space so Walter now resides in John Beevers' office! He is suggesting that the losing team looks after it next year - but that could be Woodbury again?! Past Chairman, Jeremy Browne

13 WOODBURY WOMENâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S INSTITUTE DURING LOCKDOWN Despite the Covid-19 restrictions making normal WI meetings impossible, many members of the WI have been getting together either on Zoom or socially distanced in gardens. On Monday afternoons members of the WI Book Group have been meeting on Zoom to talk about the current book choice or just to put the world to rights. It has been good to catch up with fellow members, to check that everyone is OK and see if anyone needs extra help, or just to pass on tips of things to do or programmes to watch. The Friday coffee mornings have continued, but in a new form. Members with large gardens offered their use on a Friday morning and members met in groups of six to enjoy coffee and conversation with friends. On inclement days small groups met indoors, all socially distanced and compliant. All the groups were great fun and thanks must go to hostesses Gillian, Livvy, Tricia, Sandra and Anne. There are no plans to meet formally this year but we try to maintain contact with as many members as we can. A bit of rain doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t daunt our stalwart members. Lin Ashby

14 WOODBURY HISTORY SOCIETY As with most societies, the History Society has not been able to hold its meetings but, all being well, we will be able to call upon the same speakers to lecture to us next year: March the last Ware Family film May History of Tiverton with Mike Sansom (author and historian) September Origin of the Parish of Woodbury and its Manors with Gill Selley November The Blackshirts of Devon with Todd Gray Since members have been unable to meet each other, the committee has been sending out short historical snippets every week to them. Unfortunately these have only been available to those people who have a computer. Twenty-nine have now been produced on a variety of local and Devon historical subjects. The two snippets shown (pp 15,16) are a sample of what members have received – Roger Stokes, Joyce Peachey, David Elphick, Malcolm Randle and Gill Selley have all made contributions. We hope to hold an AGM with a limited number of members attending in February, but nothing is certain in the present circumstances. As usual the Society’s annual newsletter will be compiled with Malcolm Randle as the editor – if anyone would like to write an article, please contact him on 01395 232983. The committee have been holding Zoom meetings from the comfort of their homes to discuss what we can do for members – any suggestions would be welcome. If any parishioner wishes to consult any maps, documents or books which are held in the archive room, please contact Gill Selley to arrange a suitable time (01395 233208 or gselley100@gmail.com). Gill Selley (archivist)

WEATHER REPORT September turned out to be a very dry month, similar this year to May and July; summer rains fell almost only in June and August. A closer look shows that 5mm fell during the first week, 7mm during the last week, plus a further 9mm on the very last day, totalling 21mm (⅞ inch). This is lower than 2001-2010 average of 36mm and much lower than 2011-2020 average of 51mm. However, October started in a quite stormy way, with every prospect of maintaining the average rainfall of 3½ to 4 inches (85 to 95mm). Norman Cann

17 HOPE4KIBERA As we reported last month, the needs in the Kibera slum in Nairobi are growing. The Covid shutdown continues to ruin the hand-to-mouth economy. Sadly we are unable to hold any fundraising events at the moment but we are hoping to make an impact by selling Christmas cards, which have been printed from original, hand-painted cards by Anne Wynne. All the proceeds from the sales will go to provide food and medical care for people with little hope this Christmas, and help with the school costs. They will also help to spread the word about Hope4Kibera. So, roll up! Get your Christmas cards easily now, and help us bring some light into the darkness of the slum. Thank you. Festive pack of 10 cards, 5 designs for ÂŁ5. Nativity pack of 10 cards, 2 designs for ÂŁ5. Please contact Anne Wynne 07846028944 or annewynne5@gmail.com. Or contact Charlie and Linda Collins 01395 232731 or cc@stundoc.plus. com or lindacollins @stundoc.plus.com. Anne Wynne

18 WOODBURY C OF E PRIMARY SCHOOL We have had such a busy half term; it has been wonderful having all the children back in and we are now in the full flow of learning. The children in Beech and Willow classes have enjoyed their forest school sessions; Oak class have been on two trips around the village linked to their topic; many KS2 children took part in a virtual cross country competition; the children in KS1 have taken part in a dance-themed day; and we have all come to school dressed as an animal to support our new joint School Council and PTFA project. We have had a visiting tortoise called Bethany and a dog called Rusty, along with Sully the cat who has reappeared after many years – he is making himself at home in the library! We hope you enjoy reading more about what we have been up to in this edition; please remember to look at our website for more news. School Council The School Council are hoping to get some school pets this year. With support of the PTFA, they have been working very hard to raise money and research which animals would be appropriate pets for the school. The school had an animal dress-up day to raise money for the pets. With the support of a Woodbury family, we have already got fish in the school which Year 1 are enjoying observing in their classroom. The next step will be further pets for indoors and out. If you think you might be able to help us with this project, please get in touch. Harvest We have celebrated harvest this year, by thanking God for his generous bounty: from the food we eat, to the wonderful world we live in, to caring for the people we love.  Although we couldn't give thanks in the traditional service at St Swithun’s, each class created their own harvest baskets of thanks.  This picture shows our Ethos Group leaders sorting through some of the items our families have donated to Exmouth Community Larder.

19 Willow Class – Forest School This term we have focused on learning about the changing seasons and the senses.   The children have loved playing Forest School nature-based games which are centred on physical exercise, coordination and awareness of teamwork.  A favourite is a running game called Forest Fire.  As part of discovering nature, the children have particularly enjoyed collecting and identifying bugs and going on scavenger hunts to improve their awareness of the natural world. During senses week they learnt how they moved differently when their sight was taken away with a blindfold and they had to feel their way along rope through the trees.

Another favourite has been making smelly potions in old yogurt pots and even doing a painting with the resulting concoction. The children have celebrated and learnt about autumn fruits and nuts by foraging in the hedgerows and toasting apple rings over the fire.   They have also enjoyed a number of nature crafts - creating stick men and nature mobiles.   Forest School allows plenty of time for fun and free play as well as learning and development.

20 WOODBURY C OF E PRIMARY SCHOOL contâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d/â&#x20AC;Ś Oak Class Oak class have enjoyed two trips in the village as part of their topic learning on habitats. With the support of Tony Bennett, from Wild Woodbury, the children had an informative and exciting afternoon finding plants and insects that live in the mosaic habitat of the churchyard.

Another interesting afternoon was spent visiting the various habitats in the cricket field. The children also saw the release of a mouse that Tony had cared for after one of our class members had found it injured. Evie helped to set it free in the bug hotel that the children had helped to fill with various materials. All of the class were amazed at the different animals that like to use the cricket field as their home and had a grand tour of the area. Oak class have thoroughly enjoyed their habitat project. We would like to say a special thankyou to Tony for inspiring the children and for taking so much time to teach us about our local habitats.

Oak class would like the help of the Woodbury community! They have begun a hedgehog project in connection with Wild-Woodbury and Tony, and they have come up with the idea of a hedgehog protection team which can monitor the hedgehogs and promote hedgehog-friendly gardens. We hope that the Woodbury community will be able to help us in our investigations. Please could you let the school know if you have spotted any hedgehogs in your garden, and Oak class will plot it on a map of Woodbury to see where the hedgehogs have been visiting. You can email the school on admin@woodbury.devon.sch.uk, for the attention of Oak class, and it will be forwarded to Mrs Sommers. We would like you to tell us roughly where your house is so that we can plot it on our map. Gillian Pyle, Head of School

Have you got an interesting photo to illustrate your article? If so, we'd love to see it, but please remember that we need high resolution photos - not too dark, but clear and sharp - as low resolution photos do not reproduce well on non-photographic paper. Please remember to ask permission from any people included in your photos, and that photos of children require parental permission. Send all submissions to karensquires100@gmail.com

WOODBURY SALTERTON NEWS HOLY TRINITY CHURCH Church Services We are now back to our normal pattern of church services and getting accustomed to wearing masks, sitting spaced out, sanitising hands and recording names on entry. The congregation are still not permitted to sing the hymns but the choir may do so and they make a welcome contribution to services – good to have some music again. We have another innovation in that we have a device enabling offerings at services to be made using your mobile phone. Church Quiz The annual church quiz, entitled Britain in Bloom, has been selling well - £2 per copy for church funds. Copies can be obtained from Katharine Wheeler. There is a £10 prize and entries do not have to be in until 10 January 2021. School children helping the church Members of the School Ethos Committee, under the direction of Mrs Milford, have been helping the church by selling some of Mrs Wheeler’s knitted items - nurse dolls, koala bears and octopuses - in their school classrooms. Knitted items are usually sold on the church cake stalls at school, which of course cannot be held under the present circumstances, so the school offered to sell some in school. Thanks to Teagan, Sienna, Henry, Luca, Dylan and Charlie for helping the church in this way. Alice Rooke is taking her Duke of Edinburgh Award and, for her public service, she helped at the church coffee mornings held outdoors until the weather changed, and she continues to clean the church every week. Thank you Alice. Katharine Wheeler WILL YOU HELP OUR VILLAGE CHURCH? Like many other charities, our village church has had a significant reduction in income as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. However, the expenses have continued to come in and recent surveys of the fabric of the building have uncovered work that needs to be done on the lightning conductors, the roof and crumbling masonry, amongst other things. Despite the building being closed for most of the time, the church community has been there to help the vulnerable and needy in the village. If you would like to support our church and help financially to protect the fabric of the building for future generations, please contact the PCC Treasurer, Nigel Dupain, for details. Single donations or regular giving would be very gratefully received and can be restricted to building repairs if you wish. Completion of a Gift Aid form will mean that we can claim a further 25% of your gift from the government without any cost to you or the church. Bank details: 30-93-14, 02863238. Contact details: Nigel Dupain, Little Cannonwalls, Woodbury Salterton, Exeter, EX5 1PY. dupain@hotmail.co.uk or phone 01395 232953.

23 STREAM CLEARANCE On 10 October the Woodbury Salterton Resilience Group, working with the Parish Council, again undertook a stream clearance to clear undergrowth and debris along the village stream (the Grindle Brook) downstream from Trevanin Farm to Honey Bridge. This is the fifth annual event to help alleviate flooding. There was an excellent response to the appeal for volunteers and fortunately they had a dry and sunny morning.

24 STREAM CLEARANCE cont’d/… Thanks to names having to be recorded for Track and Trace (Covid-19) we are able to thank them all by name - Steve Mearing, Amber Arnold, Richard Cullen, Charlie Olney, Martin Clarke, Barry Bolt, Chris Isaac, Frank and Anne Mulholland, Anne Baker, Tom Buxton Smith, Simon Andrews, Nigel Edwards, Dan, Jenna, Pete and Ellie from the Digger’s Rest, Pat Bricknell, Nigel Batten, Finn and Geoff and Debbie Jung. A special mention of Louise Kelly and Aidan Farell who came to help although they had only moved into the village a few days before. Good community spirit all round. The total weight of undergrowth removed came to 12 cwt. Katharine Wheeler THE KERSLAKE TRUST To all those residents of the Parish of Woodbury Salterton who will be 70 and older by Christmas 2020 This Trust was created on the death of Celia Elizabeth Kerslake on 19 September 1939. Under the terms of her will, some shares were left to the Trustees of Woodbury Salterton Church, with the instruction that the income received from them should be distributed among “the old people over 70 belonging to the Parish at Christmas time”. The Trustees are currently reviewing the list of beneficiaries to arrange this year’s distribution, and will be pleased to hear from anyone permanently resident in the Parish who has NOT received a payment in previous years and who considers they now qualify for such a payment. Please advise Nigel Dupain, Trustee on 01395 232953 by 1 December 2020.

25 WOODBURY SALTERTON C OF E PRIMARY SCHOOL The children are enjoying being back in school and we are delighted to share our news from the past month.  9 October was World Mental Health Day and the children marked their support for the mental health charity, Young Minds, by dressing in yellow and other bright colours. Throughout the day, they spoke about the different emotions they feel and the importance of looking after their own mental health. They created superheroes with the powers of Love, Friendship, Hydration, Health and Happiness. The children started the day with relaxation techniques and talked about how important it is to look after our mental health. Our children’s mental health is a key part of our recovery curriculum as we support them during this uncertain time as we learn to live with Covid-19. In Class One the children have joined in with yoga to help focus their minds. They were able to open the session with our ‘namaste’ greeting and then listened to a story all about dinosaurs, which had them bending and stretching in all directions. A great way to practise mindfulness and prepare for the afternoon’s learning.  In the same week we welcomed our new Reception pupils who were all presented with beautiful, colourful Bibles. Thank you to the Church for these lovely gifts. The bibles will be treasured for years to come.  Our traditional harvest was socially distanced and took a different form this year: each class held their own harvest service. We donated to the Exmouth Community Larder, an initiative of Christians Together in Exmouth supported by the Salvation Army. They serve the local community and provide those who need it with essential supplies. Donations were collected early to ensure the goods could be quarantined before being taken to Exmouth Community Larder. Thanks to all our families and supporters for your generosity.  In one of our acts of collective worship the children had a visit from Livi Ju from Christchurch Church in Woodbury. She came and led one of the ‘bubble’ collective worships where the children made paper dolls and wrote on each one the names of people for whom they are thankful. The children also discussed how we pray and speak to God.  Learning in school and at home continues and Class Three have been learning about The Titanic and the events surrounding that disaster in history. This theme has inspired some fabulous home learning and research.  In Class Two’s history lessons, the children have been looking at The Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age. They have researched the lifestyle of Stone Age people and discovered that Stone Age people used flint for weapons and tools. Cont’d/...

26 WOODBURY SALTERTON C OF E PRIMARY SCHOOL cont’d/…  In Art the children have been preparing our Northern Lights skyscapes

using the technique of spreading and layering shimmering, pearlised paint. We also studied the colour wheel and learned about complementary colours. Class Three have been looking at how artists use colour and technique in different ways to represent landscapes and skyscapes. They looked at the work of local artist Becky Bettesworth and her representation of landscapes using perspective and created stylised coloured sketches in her style, practising typography skills all in preparation for our future landscapes based upon The Frozen Kingdom.

 In geography, Class Three had fun and presented the news on Thursday

afternoon! They investigated the problems caused by tourism, both locally and in the polar regions. They then read amazing news stories about problems such as congestion, pollution and the destruction of wildlife habitats. Well done newsreaders – we certainly learned a lot! We are getting used to our changed ways of working because of the pandemic. We have been using lots of resources to support us with our current curriculum.

28 A BRIEF JOURNEY THROUGH THE HISTORY OF EXTON THE GOOSE FIELD Lady Mary Courtenay donated the Goose Field to the village of Exton in the Autumn of 1999. This was on the understanding that it was for the benefit of the residents and not to be used for housing.

Lady Mary opening the Goose Field and sitting on her Millennium seat

Lady Mary Courtenay, her sister Lady Gabrielle and their mother, the then Dowager Countess of Devon, moved to The Briary, Exton in 1947. After the death of Lady Gabrielle the house was sold but still retains its original name. The field had been the home of their geese for many years. There are many amusing tales of the geese getting out of the field and into the lanes. This prompted the cry, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The girls are outâ&#x20AC;?, when everyone in the village would come running to catch them until the next time.

29 The field later became somewhat overgrown before Lady Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s generous gift. In 2000 it became a Millennium Green. The Royal Mail produced a 19p stamp featuring the field as part of their People and Place set of stamps for their new millennium collection.

The chairlady of the Green, Mrs Mary Hollingworth, and her team worked very hard to clear the ground and lay out the area much as we see it today, although the trees have now matured, giving welcome shade to the grounds. Over the years the village has enjoyed many activities, including picnics, musical concerts, entertainments and some church services. In these difficult times of social distancing, it has been a lovely haven of quiet beauty. Hopefully, not too far ahead, we can once again come together for future activities. Our thanks go to the present committee for the upkeep of this tranquil place which is enjoyed by Exton folk and visitors. Exton Village enjoying a summer picnic Audrey Elphick

ROUND AND ABOUT DEATH Janet Cox (Jan) passed away on 2 September at the RD&E hospital. Jan will be sadly missed by her husband Steve and her three children and four grandchildren.

32 TITHE AND THE TITHE BARN Could I just make a small correction to the article about St Andrew’s Church in Exton published in October’s Woodbury News? The barn, which was converted into the chapel, is described as the Tithe Barn. This barn belonged to an estate known as Morrishes which was owned by the Rolle Estate (Lord of the Manor) and was certainly not a tithe barn. In the late 17th century the estate was divided and both leaseholders had use of half the barn. As you will see from the following, a Tithe Barn could not belong to the Lord of the Manor as he was not the patron of St Swithun’s. From the 11th century tithes were collected from the produce of the parishioners and were the property of the rector of a parish.

Part of the Vicars Choral houses in Exeter In about 1200 the Bishop of Exeter gave St Swithun’s Church and its lands to the Priest Vicars of the Cathedral (usually called the Vicars Choral) which included the tithes. As rectors of the church it was usual for them to appoint a collector of the tithes for a specified sum of money rather than collect the tithes themselves. In a large parish the tenth of every farmer’s produce amounted to a large quantity and was brought to the Tithe Barn where it was sold. The money raised from the sale became the property of the collector of the tithes – very often amounting to more than the price paid to collect them. Since the tithes belonged to the Vicars Choral, then the Tithe Barn was also their property. It stood on part of the land of the old Parsonage, and was the only stone building in the parish apart from the church. One of the fields close to the barn was called Lamb Park and was probably where livestock was held until it was sold off.

33 TITHE AND THE TITHE BARN cont’d/... In 1836 an Act of Parliament was passed for the commutation of tithes to money. Tithe Commissioners were appointed and the lands were assessed and the amounts payable by the occupants were published. Sadly, when the collection of tithes in kind ceased, the barn became redundant. It was demolished and the stones were used to build the new church in Woodbury Salterton. There is no picture of the barn though there are references to repairs of it in the Account Books of the Vicars Choral. The bill for the sale of the stones has survived, though, and shows that Marianne Pidsley paid £59. 18s. 8d for them. There are many records of farmers being taken before the ecclesiastical courts for non-payment of tithes, and some of the cases were taken before the Exchequer Courts in London. The evidence of witnesses describes the tithed goods and how they were collected. In 1617 the titheable value of some of the produce of John Terry of Bridge Farm in Woodbury Salterton was recorded as: 16 quarts of honey and 10lbs of wax, 40 young pigs, 60 goslings and 60 ducklings, and his hens laid 500 eggs. At tithing time the piglets were worth 2s, the goslings 12d, the ducklings 10d, and the eggs 10d per score. The following year he was taken to court by the collectors for not paying his tithes of milking cows, non-sucking calves and hay. In 1709 a record shows that the collector was due the tithe and tenth of all manner of crops and grain, feeding of cattle (agistement), sheep, wool, lamb, honey, wax, pigs, geese, ducks, wood and furze and coppice wood in Woodbury Wood, Ruccombe Wood, Rushmore Wood and Hall Coppice. The Tithe Apportionment Book of 1839 records the owners, leaseholders and occupants of every piece of land in the parish of Woodbury, and lists the fields and what was grown on them. From this information an assessment was made of how much tithe should be paid. The total amount to be paid to the Vicars Choral raised by these monetary tithes of the parish was £1070. 14s. 2d (the present equivalent would be about £65,000). This amount and the rent from their properties was the main income of the Vicars Choral.

A seasonal round-up from across the Estate Property and Land The team would like to thank all our contractors who have worked hard over the last few months in supporting us and our tenants. As Covid-19 levels continue to be uncertain, we are continuing to speak with commercial and residential tenants, offering support where we can and ensuring that emergency works and statutory maintenance programmes are met. We welcome student, Eliza Raine, from Harper Adams University, and wish her a very successful placement where she will be assisting in all aspects of our work and building her skills for a career as a rural surveyor. Bicton Arena Between 12-15 October, Bicton Arena hosted the final major competition of the somewhat disrupted season. Seven hundred competitors took part in the International Horse Trials where the iconic parkland provided a beautiful, seasonal backdrop for riders taking part in dressage, show-jumping and cross-country disciplines, including roads and tracks elements across local farmland and heath. Strict Covid-19 protocols have meant sadly no spectators. However, even if it was sport behind closed doors, the team were proud to have been able to resume equestrian sporting activity following lockdown. Although this presented many challenges, measures in place to ensure covid security were highly praised by British Eventing officials and competitors alike, with many positive initiatives to take forward to future seasons. Otter Estuary and Pebblebed Heaths Planning permission to deliver the Lower Otter Restoration Project was submitted and the proposal was open for comments on the EDDC planning portal until the end of the month. There were a number of misconceptions circulating about the project and its aims. The website www.lowerotterrestorationproject.co.uk is the most comprehensive and factual resource available to give accurate information to help understand all the key elements of this complex project. The Pebblebed Heaths Conservation Trust received hundreds of entries to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Heaths and Meâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; project. Many local people had a go at capturing what the heathland landscape means to them. View some of the submissions in the online gallery https://bit.ly/THAMgallery.

35 Clinton Farms It has been a good year for forage production. Following favourable weather over the summer the farms are well placed going into the colder months, with food to feed our cattle over winter. Most field operations have now come to an end for this season, with only hedge trimming to be carried out over the winter. The cows at both dairies will remain grazing as long as ground conditions and grass growth allow. We said goodbye to Ben Hunt, our assistant farm manager, who left us last month to take a well-earned promotion to the position of Farm Manager on a dairy unit near Bristol. We would like to thank Ben for all his dedication and hard work during his time at Clinton Farms and wish him the best of luck in his next venture. Ben will be replaced by Matthew Dixon as trainee farm manager and we look forward to welcoming Matt to the farm team. Forestry and Renewables Volunteers will work in Clinton Woodlands this season to collect redundant tree guards which, whilst vital to protect saplings in early growth stages, can become a waste product when their job is done. Many of the protective sleeves, installed decades ago, were made from what was marketed as biodegradable plastic, the ecologically responsible option of the time. They will slowly degrade naturally given enough time. However, knowledge about the timescale needed for plastics to fully degrade and the issues of creating smaller particles during this process are better understood, prompting action now. The waste plastic will not go to landfill, but instead either be recycled or chipped and sent to the energy recovery facility in Exeter to generate clean electricity.

36 AYLESBEARE RESERVE At the beginning of this month our Warden had an intensive three-day Tree Safety Assessment course up at our headquarters in Bedfordshire. Following on from this, we will be finalising management plans for all our ash trees on site, and continuing to review any of our other trees that have management plans already in place. On the subject of trees, the windthrown trees from Woolcombe’s Plantation have now been cleared. The cattle did an excellent job munching through the ground vegetation and getting some of the bramble under control, and their efforts will hopefully be rewarded in late spring when the wildflowers emerge again. All of the wood we fell and collect from the Commons will be put to good use, and we have just delivered our first few trailers of logs out to customers in the local area. There has been plenty of fencing work going on in the reserve too, mainly focusing on clearing vegetation from along our boundary fencelines. This improves our ability to maintain the fences, and check for any damage after bad weather, and also benefits our livestock as they are more able to see how far they can roam. Plus, there have been some replacement posts installed where old ones have rotted out or are no longer adequate. Most recently, there have been several days of scrub clearance on one of the mires on Aylesbeare. Nearby is an established colony of the rare southern damselfly, and by opening up connecting runnels and removing willow and birch from the site, we are hoping to encourage the damselflies to expand their population on the reserve into this newly suitable habitat. Finally, we will finish off with something new for our article this month – a species feature on one of the many wild things that call the Commons home. Species feature: Stonechat Smaller than a sparrow, male stonechats have a black head and back, white shoulder patches, and a rust-brown breast; females have the same rusty breast, but a brown back with a black-striped head and throat. There are around 59,000 breeding pairs of stonechat in the UK, and one of the best RSPB reserves to see them is Aylesbeare Common. Their common name comes from the alarm call shared by both sexes – like two stones being struck against each other. These striking little birds are quite vocal about their presence on the heath, and can be seen singing from the top of a gorse bush at any time of year. They are partial migrants, and some individuals may begin to move south in the early autumn. Many stonechats, though, stay throughout the year, often as pairs – if you see one stonechat singing, its mate is likely nearby.

37 Stonechats may have two broods each year, and start to breed early in the spring, often laying four to six eggs in late March in nests close to the ground. Nests are deep cup-like structures constructed from grass, leaves, roots and stems, and lined with softer materials such as pony hair, sheep’s wool or other birds’ feathers. Find more information on stonechats on the RSPB website. Ellie Woolway, Devon Reserves Administrator Exe Estuary (01392 833311) & Aylesbeare Common (01395 233655) Eleanor.woolway@rspb.org.uk.
