By the time you read this, you will probably have a house festooned with
the flag of St George and the date of England’s first match surreptitiously
marked in your diary (10th June against Paraguay in case you were
wondering) or be well and truly fed up with Wayne Rooney’s metatarsal
masquerading as serious news. But love it or hate it, you will be hard
pushed to escape World Cup fever.
Football goes on day by day not just in the glitzy Premiership grounds
but also in unnoticed playgrounds and fields the world over. Yet every four
years we have the extravaganza of the World Cup because the media and
marketing gurus know full well that we cannot be equally interested all the
time, we cannot be forever at fever pitch.
It is the same with our faith. How wonderful if our faith always burned
at its brightest, always lifted us to the heights we have each known for
odd moments, but most Monday mornings it is not like that. A hurried
prayer, a kind thought for someone else, a bit of Bible reading if we are
lucky, that is what day-to-day faith so often consists of. We need that
day-to-day faith, just as football would be nothing without boys in
back-gardens.
But we need a World Cup too, a time to grow excited about our faith once
more. Some find this by going away on pilgrimage, to Compostella,
Walsingham, Glastonbury, but for those of us who cannot travel so far, we
must seek other opportunities and that is why we have a Church calendar
full of feasts and festivals. The early Christians knew that we could not
keep our faith burning so brightly all year round, that we could not
contemplate all the mysteries of God in one go, so they devised a calendar
to lead us through the highs and lows of faith, to ensure that we did not
get stuck with one bit of Christianity but came face to face with many
sides of God and his story.
Des Lynam may not want you to miss a match; why not set yourself the
challenge of not missing a mass? This month the festivals bunch together;
come to them all, ask God to heighten, deepen and broaden your faith.
Pencil in, next to your appointment with Mr Beckham & co, Pentecost and
Trinity Sunday, Corpus Christi and the Sacred Heart of Jesus, John the
Baptist, St Peter and St Paul – a full fixture list to keep your faith fit
and your prayer life in shape. Each one slightly different, so as Sven
contemplates how to break down that dogged Swedish defence or whether to
show a bit more attacking flair against Trinidad and Tobago, you too can
plan your own prayer tactics accordingly.
May the Holy Spirit burn brightly in all your hearts this month…oh and
come on England!

On the last Saturday in April the Prestbury Ministry Leadership Team
spent a very happy day at Gloucester Cathedral for a Celebration of
Ministry and a Renewal of their Mandate.
The morning was spent in thought and reflection and the afternoon
Service was led by Bishop John, Bishop of Tewkesbury. The chairs in the
Cathedral had been arranged so that we sat in a circle, with a large space
in the centre for the teams to put their items that they had brought.
We were asked to take a symbol and write a couple of lines that we
thought represented the ministry of our benefice, and we asked Marion
Beagley to present this for us. We came up with the idea of a packet of
seeds and the following is what Marion read for us:
‘We commit ourselves to be diligent gardeners in the whole patch
entrusted to us, broadcasting the seed of the Gospel, warming the soil
with sunshine of love and understanding, and watering it with sound
teaching of the Word. Trusting in God to give the growth, we will strive
to care equally for emerging shoots of every variety, seedlings and
established plants.’
Mandating marks a particular stage in the journey of a benefice or
parish and the beginning of a new period of service. Local congregations,
with their teams, promise to commit themselves to a further period of
service. All teams commit themselves to seeking out and developing the
gifts of others, so that the local church can both support its own members
and serve their local communities, however those are defined, in line with
the overarching purpose of God for that particular part of his Body.
This year six teams came to be mandated or to receive the renewal of
their mandate. Each benefice or parish is very different and each team has
a very different shape, vision and set of priorities.
Local Ministry seeks to resource and provide support for the ministry of
the church and particularly the on-going development of LM benefices and
parishes and teams when and if appropriate.
This year’s service focused on the idea of the Church’s vocation to
minister to the world while creating a new model of church and yet also
working with old models.
The Bishop gave us certificates – one for each porch at St Nicolas’ and
St Mary’s.
We would emphasise the point that you are all part of the ministry of
this parish and a tremendous amount of you minister in many, many ways.
Please pray for the following parishes and benefices whose members
received their mandate: Blockley; Christ Church with English Bicknor;
Fairford with Kempsford; Prestbury; Shipton Moyne; St Laurence, Stroud.
My regards to you all,
Sylvia McKenzie

Tuesday evening’s variable programme at All Saints’ got off to a good
start last month with Stations of the Resurrection and Compline on
alternate weeks. By popular request a Bible Study group will begin meeting
at 7pm on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month, with the option to
stay on for worship at 8.00pm. The first meeting is on 13 June, when we
start exploring St Paul’s Letter to the Galatians. Members of all churches
will be very welcome. The worship programme in June will also include an
evening using Anglican Prayer Beads, drawing on the very successful
experience of last October’s Quiet Day.

Intruders – St Nicolas’ Hall
There are complaints about people going into the Hall whilst a meeting
or activity is taking place, causing unnecessary interruption and
inconvenience.
Please respect the rights of Hall users. If you do need to go into the
Hall, small room, kitchen or stores, co-operate and plan ahead; refer to
the timetable of Hall bookings in the foyer and choose a suitable time.
There will, of course, be urgent or emergency situations, but remember
that the people using the Hall are within their rights to refuse admission
to intruders for reasons of safety or security so, please, be considerate
rather than bad mannered.
Thank you.

For this meeting we had a visit from the Archdeacon of Cheltenham, the
Venerable Hedley Ringrose. He came from Bishop Michael to talk over the
changes that would occur once the new Northern Area of Churches became
established. St Peter’s Church in Tewkesbury Road was due for closure and
would be included with Swindon Village and Elmstone Hardwicke in this new
area, alongside St Mary’s, St Nicolas’ and All Saints’. Whilst the PCC were
positive in their acceptance of this new ‘Mission Area’ there were
reservations as to how it would work. The staffing levels would include the
Rector, two Team Vicars and two house-for-duty priests. There would also be
one non-stipendiary priest. The concern of the PCC was that with such an
enlarged area, would this level of staffing be sufficient and would it be
maintained in the future? A further concern was the financial implication
of such a large area and how that would affect us. The Archdeacon was very
aware of our concerns and said that much more discussion would happen,
bringing in these concerns, before anything was set in motion. He was
hopeful that our vacancy when Father Stephen retires in the autumn would
not be a long one and assured the meeting that the best person for the job
would be appointed.

This committee was originally set up under the Parish Development Plan
of 1998 to advise on Worship; the remit was later changed to that of a
monitoring and evaluating role and I consider that we have been successful
in this over the years, in particular dissecting and commenting on specific
services. Of recent times however the Mission and Outreach Committee have,
quite rightly, assessed the needs of the parish and driven the styles of
worship deemed best to encourage new blood and sustain the existing
congregations.
Following a recommendation from the Worship Committee it has therefore
been agreed by the PCC that the Worship Committee ceases to exist. The plan
is for an annual presentation of the Worship Calendar to representatives of
all services covered within the whole Team. At that meeting, two or three
areas for development are to be identified and working parties be set up to
address those specific areas.
I take this opportunity to thank all those who, over the years, have
contributed so valuably to the work of the committee and the Worship Life
of the Parish.

On 31 March a minibus load of young people (and a couple of cars) set
off to the Forest for an activity weekend. The theme was ‘trust’ and the
participants included young people from Synergy and The Space groups.
Altogether twenty adults and young people took part in wide games, night
hike, archery, abseiling, raft building, bonfire making, football and a
quiz.
Along with all the physical activity there was time and space to connect
with God. There was an interactive prayer zone with times when the fab
Nooma DVDs were shown. (These are short DVDs getting to grips with issues
such as suffering, silence and forgiveness.) On Sunday morning there was a
great time of worship led by Kirsty and Andy W – which pretty much everyone
took part in.
The comments from the young people about what they gained from the
weekend sum it up best: ‘new connections with God’, ‘getting to know people
and trust people more’, ‘being able to work as a team and learning
different backgrounds of people’, ‘more confidence in myself, overcome
nervousness in certain areas’.
It was a great weekend – thanks to all those who took part, young people
and leaders, to make it so worthwhile. Please pray that we can build on the
good links between young people in The Space and Synergy groups.

The EverestMax team has successfully completed its ‘longest journey on
earth’, from the Dead Sea to the summit of Mount Everest. Sarah Lyle with
Dom, Jamie, Nic and Pauline, supported by Dickie and Rowena, set off from
the Dead Sea on 21 December 2005 and cycled 8000km (5000 miles) through
Jordan, Syria, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, India, Nepal and into Tibet. They
were joined in Nepal in March by climbers Nigel Lyle (Sarah’s uncle), Phil
(Pauline’s husband), Andrew, André, Chris, Sebastian and Tarka, with
Patrick as support. The climbers went ahead by vehicle and the cyclists
arrived at Base Camp on 12 April 2006.
They all spent the next month acclimatising to life at high altitude.
Base Camp (BC) is situated at approximately 5200 metres above sea level,
Interim Camp (IC) at 5800m, Advanced Base Camp (ABC) at 6400m and North Col
Camp 1 at around 7000m. The routine was to walk higher each day, coming
back down to sleep; then, when ready, to sleep higher, going even higher
for day trips, periodically returning to BC for a rest before setting off
again to greater heights. Eventually all who were contemplating the summit
had slept at North Col, some managing also to climb up to Camp 2 (7500m).
Next came the waiting at Base Camp for a ‘weather window’, when the jet
stream winds would drop before the onset of the monsoon. The timetable
would be one night at North Col, next night at Camp 2 on oxygen, third
night at Camp 3 (8000m) on oxygen, set off for the summit on the following
evening, climbing up overnight and back down in daylight, arriving back at
either Camp 3 or 2 to sleep a night, and then back down to North Col or
ABC.
The first group, Chris, Seb, André, Pauline, Phil and Nigel, went up to
ABC on about 12/13 May. Chris and Seb reached the summit at dawn on 17 May
and returned to sleep at Camp 2. Pauline and Phil reached the summit at
6.00am on 18 May, also returning to Camp 2 to sleep. Pauline is therefore
the first to complete the whole journey from the Dead Sea, and it also
turns out that she and Phil are the first British couple to summit Everest.
André and Nigel decided not to go up.
The second group, Sarah, Jamie, Nic, Dom and Andrew, went to ABC round
about 16/17 May. Nic stayed at ABC with Nigel while the other four set off
for the North Col. Sarah decided not to attempt the summit, but set Camp 3
as her goal, which she achieved. Andrew, Jamie and Dom reached the summit
on the morning of 21 May, exactly five months after leaving the Dead Sea.
They returned to sleep that night at Camp 3, now known as ‘Sarah’s Tea
House’, because she had waited there to provide them with food and drink on
their return from the summit.
All team members have now left the mountain and are either home or in
Kathmandu. Nigel is expected home at the end of May, Sarah in early June.
Full reports can be read on
www.everestmax.com.
From the webmaster:
You may have read reports in the press
about the number of tragedies on Everest this year. We are
grateful the EverestMax team has returned safely but they were aware
and affected by what was happening around them. Their time on the
mountain was not without incident and they could have added to the
statistics. The above report conveys none of this. Each day
of their trip one of them wrote a diary entry in the News section on
their website
www.everestmax.com. Here you will find the whole story
unfolding with the hopes, the frustrations, the fears, the drama, the
emotions and the exhilarations. The mood of the writing changed
in their last two weeks and must have affected all who have read it.
I urge you to read this too and to thank God for their safe return. |

New Equipment!
Well done the Celebrate! family – you raised over £1000 in just over a
month! As a result Celebrate! now has some new music equipment which – we
hope you will agree – will help the music group to support the worship more
effectively.
We try to choose carefully so that the music fits reasonably well with
the week’s theme. We’re seeking a balance in the songs: some comfortable
old favourites and some new ones to keep it fresh; some lively ones and
some which set a more reflective tone; some which small children can relate
to and some with rather more elaborate words or music. We hope that you
find something somewhere in the mix that helps you come closer to God. We’d
like to hear your views, whether positive or negative. And if you have a
favourite worship song or hymn, let us know and we’ll try to fit it in when
we can.
We’d be pleased to hear from singers or instrumentalists who might be
interested in joining the worship group. If you’d like to find out more
(without committing yourself!), please have a word with Sharon or Jerry.

Part 3: Towards the Modern World
In 1700, the great men in Prestbury were Lord Craven, absentee landlord
of the former lands of the bishops of Hereford, and William Baghott, whose
family had bought the estate of Llanthony Abbey after the Reformation. To
these two was added a new player on the scene, Christopher Capel; his
family first appears in Prestbury records in 1679, by which time they had
already built their house in the Burgage.
Many others held land, from yeomen with a hundred acres, to labourers
with just enough to keep a cow and grow a few vegetables. Great and small,
their land was spread over the old open fields of the middle ages. Ryfield,
Awfield and Lynworth lay around Bouncer’s Lane, Sandfield off Prestbury
Road, Watershutt to the north of New Barn Lane, and Drinkseed to the south,
Westfield near the boundary with Swindon, Berryfield along the northern
edge of the deer park, and Nuffield on the Southam Road. Nobody, rich or
poor, had a compact block of land; true to the medieval principle of
‘something of everything’, each man (and a few women) farmed one or more
strips of land in each of the fields, plus perhaps a small walled close,
just as people had done ever since farming began here.
But the old order was about to change. All over the country the medieval
field systems were beginning to disappear. In Prestbury, part of the great
Westfield had already been inclosed in the time of Cromwell. Now a group of
the major landlords spearheaded by Squire Baghott set about the legal
process of inclosing the remaining 700 acres of open fields as well as 600
acres of common land on the hill top. They arranged and paid for a detailed
survey listing every plot, and reapportioned the land to give each man
appropriately sized units. Finally in 1732 they saw the safe passage of the
necessary Bill through Parliament.
Now a new pattern emerged of compact farms outside the village, each
with its own newly built farmstead: Hunting Butts, Lower and Upper Hill
Farms, Piccadilly and the others. Each landowner was required to fence his
own land, and many miles of ‘quickset’ hawthorn hedges were planted. Men
were employed to plough the old grassland of the newly fenced hill top
fields. The modern landscape took form. For some the changes brought the
opportunity to farm more efficiently, with good returns on investment;
there emerged a new breed of tenant farmers. Poor people, though, lost
their grazing rights on the open common and the whole companionable old way
of life, farming their small strips alongside neighbours. They now gained
in exchange a few tiny isolated plots, and before long many took the chance
to sell on to bigger landlords, earning a living henceforth as labourers on
other men’s land.
Less than a decade after the inclosures, the entrepreneur Henry
Skillicorne began to promote his new spa in Cheltenham. Soon it was a
attracting numbers of rich and sophisticated people, a whole new class of
tenants and customers for Cheltenham – and for Prestbury. The proximity of
Cheltenham had always affected its smaller neighbour, socially and
economically, and now Cheltenham’s increasing prosperity spread to the
outlying villages. In the first half of the 19th century Prestbury’s
population rose from 485 to 1341. Many worked in the building trades, and
others earned a living as butchers, bakers, tailors, market gardeners,
serving the needs of the spa visitors.
Meanwhile, what had happened to the manor house? Sadly, its glory under
Sir Thomas Chamberlayne was short-lived. After his death, there was a
series of lawsuits, and somehow the great house lost the surrounding lands
that gave it an income. It was leased to sub-tenants and went down the
social scale; it was still inhabited in 1649, but after that it disappears
from written records. A tantalising entry in the Churchwardens’ accounts
for 1698 records ‘stone from the manor’ brought by Willliam Baghott to
repair the church tower, but this turns out to be a red herring. Baghott’s
manor had no connection with the old house of the bishops, and he was only
one of several prominent villagers who contributed stone at that time,
probably from small quarries on their land. So we don’t know just when the
old house slipped beyond being habitable. It had certainly gone by 1762
when a later Chamberlayne sold the site to the current Lord Craven as ‘two
pieces of Pasture Ground called the Manor Closes’.

Glastonbury Pilgrimage – 17 June 2006
For many years a considerable number of parishioners
attended the annual Glastonbury Pilgrimage, some travelling by coach for
the day, while others camped at the foot of the Tor, making a weekend of
it. Over recent years the numbers have dwindled, and of late only two or
three attended.
Last year the format was changed and will again be used
this time. The programme is:
12 noon Procession of Witness
and Concelebrated Eucharist
3.30pm Pilgrims’ Prayers
and Benediction
If you have not been for some time, or would like to
attend for the first time, I will be happy to supply more details. It would
be good to have a parish party again and transport could be arranged.
