St George’s Memorial Chapel, Crownthorpe
St George’s, the pretty little chapel in Crownthorpe, witness to the community’s occasions
of worship, celebration, mourning, and remembrance, is to be honoured with its own
celebration, as we gather for the centenary on April 25th 2021 at 2.00pm.
In 1921, James Coleman built St George’s in memory of his son, ‘Lieutenant Herbert
Coleman’, who was killed in action in France in 1918. A sad legacy, but a wonderfully
enduring one.
St George’s Chapel with original tower
One hundred years later we continue to gather together within the walls and beautiful
grounds of this chapel and appreciate his gift and his vision. St George’s was consecrated
on April 10th, 1921, with a congregation that spilled out the doors, as has happened on
many an occasion since.
Notably the Dedication of Work of Restoration in
2008, when the community came together to
restore the Natusch-designed building, and heard
the bell peal for the first time in decades.
For architecture buffs, it’s quite a building.
As Graham Linwood, consultant on the restoration
of the chapel said. “The scale and proportions are
superb and the concrete construction is unusual for
its time. It’s a beautiful little Romanesque-style
building, as important architecturally as it is
socially”.
Many families in the district are
woven into the hundred-year life of
St George’s, and a walk through the
gravestones will, in the words of
Nola McAuley (nee Treseder),
“Tell the history of the district”.
The first burial prior to St George’s
being built was in 1892 for ‘Kathleen Beamish’
From the first services and a bit unusually for the
time, St George’s was available to both Anglicans
and Presbyterians.
The first weddings in 1925, with brides from
the Lowry and Harper families, represent what has
been an ongoing hallmark of worship at
St George’s.
In 1925, Mrs Lowry gifted ‘a very beautiful font
St George cover’ of oak, so heavy it was raised by means of
stained glass a pulley from outside the church.

Mr Eric Beamish gifted the altar, in honour of his first wife Laila.
Times have changed and a keyboard or sound system is typically
used at services, but there is a lovely organ at the chapel gifted by
Mr and Mrs Noel Beamish.
Fittingly, this year’s ANZAC The three windows behind the A ltar
and centenary will also include St George the Patron Saint of
England. On each side are the Angels
celebrate St George’s day, of Peace and Victory. Inscribed with
which falls on April 23rd. the quote “ In dear memory Hanna
Coleman died August 22—1922”
A more relevant patron saint
would be hard to find for the
community and for the times
we are living in, as St George
patrons farmers, agricultural
workers, sheep and
shepherds, soldiers, cavalry
and equestrians, and
symbolises the importance
of the defence
of the vulnerable.
As preparations for the
centenary have been ticking
over in the background, what has
come ringing out loudly is that
whatever your religion or
wherever you come from, this
little chapel emanates warmth
and friendliness, and that whether
your visits to St George’s have
been once or over a lifetime, the
memories are held dear and
well-lodged in people’s hearts.
Please join us on April 25th as we celebrate 100 years.

We Are An Easter People
Ours is an Easter Faith. The Holy Week – Easter narrative is one of triumphal
entry, gathering and sharing, betrayal and trial, sentencing and punishment,
suffering and death, burial and waiting … and resurrection and hope!
2020, Corona Virus/Covid-19, Lockdowns and Levels,
taught us much and required us to reflect on even more.
Church is not building and maintenance, it is people following the path God set’s
before us. 2021 has brought with us it’s own set of challenges, but all this simply
means is we need to find new ways to engage in God’s story.
Whilst working with the Parish on some visioning, it seems to me we could use this
time to reflect on …
The Five Marks Of Mission:
The Five Marks of Mission express the Anglican Communion’s common
commitment to, and understanding of, God’s holistic and integral mission.
The mission of the Church is the mission of Christ.
1. To proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom
2. To teach, baptise & nurture new believers
3. To respond to human need by loving service
4. To transform unjust structures of society,
to challenge violence of every kind & pursue peace & reconciliation
5. To strive to safeguard the integrity of creation, & sustain & renew the life of
the earth
TELL:
Evangelise – To proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom.
Knowing God’s story and sharing this with others.
TEACH:
Nurture – To teach, baptise, and nurture new believers.
Helping people to grow in the faith deepening their connection
with a church community.
TEND:
Service – To respond to human need by loving service.
Putting love into action caring for people in need.
TRANSFORM:
Transform – To transform unjust structures of society, to challenge violence
of every kind and pursue peace and reconciliation.
Working for justice, standing up for the oppressed, changing society.
TREASURE:
Preserve – To strive to safeguard the integrity of creation, and sustain
and renew the life of the earth.
Caring for our planet, and living sustainably.
In this unprecedented time I invite you to reflect on these and perhaps make an
effort to find an action to do between now and the end of April for each of these.
We are an Easter people – ours is an Easter faith.
There is resurrection and hope…
Rev’d. David van Oeveren – Regional Dean with Oversight.
Our thoughts and condolences go to family and friends

Tribute to Helen Rymer Williams
H.B.Today Notice: Helen Rymer (nee Sattrup) 16.07.1933 - 08.09.2020. Died peacefully at
Princess Alexandra surrounded by family. Beloved wife of Jon. Cherished mother of
Rachel, Timothy, Martin, Emily and Napier Granny to Alice, Grace, Charlie, and Mamie.
A funeral service for Helen will be held at the Waiapu Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist,
Browning Street, Napier on Friday, September 11, 2020 at 11am. Interment will be held at
the Elsthorpe Cemetery, 2629 Kahuaranaki Road, Elsthorpe on Saturday, September 12 at
11am, to which all are welcome. Please respect Covid19 restrictions.
JON WILLIAMS’ MEMORIES OF HELEN
We have been given a lovely gift in
Helen. At the centre of the ‘gentle
Helen’ was clear courage, a loving
heart and steadiness of purpose. She
had the skills of a warm parent and
for dealing with an endlessly talkative
husband.
As a young woman, Helen with
friends rode her push bike from
Christchurch all the way south to the
Waitaki River. Another trip across
Lake Manapouri included walking
the old track over the Wilmot Pass to
Doubtful Sound.
At Dannevirke High School, Helen over several years was the rehearsal accompanist for
Gilbert and Sullivan, probably the ‘Pirates of Penzance’ and certainly the ‘Mikado’.
The Dannevirke dance teacher, Joan Irvine used her as the musician for the first ballet
examination. The exam over, the formidable dance examiner from England said to the
young pianist, “You could make a career of that”.
The first time Helen played for church was also as a young Dannevirke girl, accompany-
ing Dr West, the Presbyterian minister, to small rural services. Later it would be the
piano, or the organ in many parishes, the last one filling in at St Augustine’s Napier. I
would see her set off each Sunday to join the parish band for what became three whole
years.
There was less time for musical expression while bearing and raising a young family in a
vicarage. Eventually she could take the opportunity to finish her piano grades. She used to
drive regularly from Raglan to Hamilton for lessons. Later, here in Hawke’s Bay she
completed her letters and teaching qualification and for several years worked as one of the
amazing local band of registered teachers, occasionally playing to a public group. To
accompany an adult singer mostly during practice was, I believe her forte. The focus must
be on the singer, the pianist must be therefore be sensitive, like a dance partner respond
instantly to the performance and occasionally help retrieve a mistake
An accompanist may have key moments, but not be seeking to grab individual attention, or
to take over the performance. That is how Helen has consistently acted in every kind of
activity, with a colleague, fellow worker, her children, husband, whoever.
Helen could have fun and laugh. Of course she could take initiatives. An irritating habit for
me was her continuous collecting of newspaper cuttings, cards, and personal mementos.
I refuse to admit that I as husband had similar habits.
I would see her at the table cutting from the newspaper yet another item about the history
of Hawke’s Bay. In the Scandinavian Club she led the charge in challenging descendants to
contribute an ancestor item, then preparing ‘LINKS WITH THE PAST’, a small book.
As one of a team focussing on remedial reading she would set out to visit one of her pupils,
whose problem might be linked to a degree of autism, or Asperger’s. Nowadays such
matters are somewhat better understood.
There were the return trips to Dannevirke every two or three weeks over some years in the
little yellow mini to faithfully visit and support her frail older sister.
In the days before Easter each year children have gathered from far and wide to the
Hawke’s Bay “Easter Competitions”, comprising music, speech and dancing. It was a
wonder to me to watch Helen at work, preparing a youngster whose song she was to
accompany. One year there were at least more than a
hundred. Helen would bend down, smile and talk to
each one, to help the child relax and forget about
nerves. She was with each as it they were the only one
in the world.
One day she asked me a searching question. “Are you
a Christian?” I had been spouting on and on about my
doubts. Sometimes Christians have of course - doubts.
That brought me up short. I must decide where I stood.
Helen - a humble servant of God; a steady witness to
God’s love. Others have called her a saint. It has taken me a long time to appreciate how
deeply true that is. As we give her back to God with great joy, I’ll humbly say “yes”, a saint.
Alleluia!
Happy Mother’s Day

AUTUMN GARDEN TO DO LIST
Autumn is the perfect time for lawn TLC, and to sow a new lawn..
Harvest seeds from last season's crops fuse next season. Label them
carefully before storing.
Plant up pots and containers with autumn potted colour.
Apply Tui Organic Seaweed Plant Tonic every 2-4 weeks to help prevent
transplant shock, promote strong growth and keep your garden thriving.
Autumn is a busy time for the home orchardist as new season fruit trees make
their way to the garden centre and existing trees are laden with fruit.
Fertilise citrus trees in early autumn with Tui Citrus Food, unless there is
threat of frost.
Prepare new planting sites with compost and plant into garden mix.
Autumn in the flower garden signals a time to change to new season's potted
colour.

Eyes out for Lesser Calamint (Calamintha Nepeta).
The Regional Council is urging landowners to keep an eye out
for lesser calamint on their properties, as calamint’s purple-
pink flowers are easier to spot during autumn.
Hawke’s Bay Regional Council Biodiversity Biosecurity
Advisor – Pest Plants, Darin Underhill says “it’s a good time to
check your property for this invasive and troublesome pest plant”.
It spreads quickly, particularly thrives in dry areas, although it can survive in wetter soils.
It is a weed that slowly creeps up on landowners, it can be an issue before you notice it.
The problem with it is that is displaces pasture and is unpalatable to stock. It is present in
the Puketapu area and has become quite an issue on several farms in the area.
Lesser calamint produces fine, upright stems that are covered with small, shiny green
oregano-like leaves, forming a compact mound 30-50cm tall and 60-100cm wide.
Miniature pale lavender flowers two or three-lipped, are tubular. Flowers are
produced in the summer and autumn months. The plant is dormant in winter.
Lesser calamint has a strong mint smell. Leaves are very fragrant when crushed.
The flowers are very attractive to bees and butterflies.
Controlling lesser calamint is difficult. Due to its rhizomatous
root system and small hairy leaf area, using chemicals is not
feasible, and mechanical control is impractical. However, CABI
are looking into biological control, introducing natural enemies
from the weed’s area of origin Southern Europe, could be a valid
option. One reason for the plant’s impact may be due to the
absence of natural enemies that attack it in its area of origin. The challenge is to find natural
enemies that attack lesser calamint but do not damage herb or native species.
Be careful not to import hay from farms where the weed is prevalent
Head to www.hbrc.govt.nz #pesthub to find out more about lesser calamint,
or contact Darin Underhill of the pest plant team at the Regional Council on 0274 977 541.
