MARCH 2017
Letter from Bishop Alistair Magowan
The New Year is well and truly progressing. As February, the shortest
month of the year passes we enter Lent. Lent and consequently Easter are
late this year. Speak of Lent to many people and the first thing they may
well ask is: What are you giving up? The thought in many people's mind is
that this is a season of self-denial and austerity; a self-imposed time of
strict rigour and hardship. As Lent focuses and draws inspiration from
Jesus' 40 days of fasting in the wilderness there is some basis for the
question and for that assumption. Discipline and self-denial are tried and
tested Lenten practices. What is less often asked is why do any of it and
what is the real purpose of any action we might choose to take?
The danger with focusing on giving up things or embracing a self-denying
pattern is that the actions themselves can become the end rather that a
means to something better. Simply focusing on giving up things sounds
rather negative and perhaps sets us up in a way that makes failure
inevitable. Inversely if we manage to stick to the disciplines and succeed
when others fail the whole thing can become self justifying and self
congratulatory. Neither of these extremes can be deemed as doing us
good.
How then can we make the best of Lent? The gospels record that Jesus
returned from the wilderness full of the Holy Spirit and empowered for
service. It was for him therefore a time and place for growth and renewal.
It was a time that at its core was positive. It was about becoming
equipped and ready to be more effective. If that becomes our aim also
then the questions of what we do or don't do have a context and purpose
bigger than the actions themselves. In a previous diocese we always
encouraged each other to make the reading of a book as a companion a
3part of how we travelled through the season. Joining a lent group and Bible
study is another way of using Lent positively. There are many good books
and courses from which to choose. This year Tom Wright has produced a
book that takes the reader through the lectionary readings in Matthew's
gospel. Come Holy Week and Stephen Cottrell has a book entitled 'The
Things He Did.' Whatever you choose think about spiritual growth and
make Lent positive.

knitting or patchwork to keep us busy for the afternoon although one

News from Corvedale Primary School
It has once again been a busy half term in school:
For the second year running children from Corvedale Primary
School qualified to take part in the English Indoor Rowing
Championships held in the Velodrome at Manchester. Four children took
part in the individual races and they were joined by a further two children
16from the school to make up part of a team representing Shropshire.
In the individual girls J11 race Maisie Matts improved on her 14th place last
year to be placed 2nd with her sister Amber coming in a very creditable
10th (especially as she is only in Year 4 – watch out next year!!).
In the individual boys J11 race Logan Capleton was 6th and Oli Wathes was
7th. The children who joined them in the team races were Kate Mintoft and
Abi Wathes. They all had a great day and a brilliant experience. Those in
year 4 and 5 will hopefully be able to build on their success next year.
The Governors are working hard supporting the school and have been
looking at some important issues for the future. Academy School
academisation is on the national agenda. The government has said that it
would like all schools currently under local authority control to become
academies by 2022. Our school at present is a local authority school being
answerable to Shropshire Council who are the local authority, it is their job
to monitor us to make sure the governors and teachers at Corvedale are
managing the education of your children correctly. To complicate matters,
we are also a church school. It’s in the name Corvedale Church of England
Aided Primary School. This means that we are also answerable to the
Hereford Diocese of The Church of England and we are ‘aided’ by the local
authority – Shropshire Council – in doing this. To become an academy
means that we become independent of the local authority control and by
joining other schools become a multi-academy trust that is run and
managed by a committee and has a CEO as its leader. The multi-academy
trust (MAT) acts very much like a mini local authority, providing services for
the school such as human resources, financial services, as well as the most
important, a school improvement advisory service. Schools do have some
choice as to which MAT they can join. The process of becoming an academy
can be quite a long and drawn out process with a period of consultation. At
present nothing had been decided by the governing body of Corvedale
Primary School but there is an inevitability that it will only be a matter of
time before a decision is made. We feel that it is extremely unlikely that the
school will become an academy before April 2018 and realistically it’s more
likely to be nearer 2019. For children and parents at school the change will
make very little difference. For the school there will be very little change
within the classrooms; the main differences will be who we are accountable
to, and how our finances are managed. We are hoping that by joining a
small MAT the support and advice on how to improve what and how we
teach will be of a much higher quality and offer better value for money than
in the current large local authority.

Philip Dunne MP
Business in South Shropshire
As regular readers will know, I have put supporting a healthy local
economy at the heart of my work locally. So I am pleased that since 2010,
the unemployment claimant count in South Shropshire has more than
halved, and average wages have increased by £50 a week. There is no
question that putting in place a strong economic plan, with the right
conditions to allow business to thrive, is creating jobs and making life easier
for local families across the Ludlow Constituency.
So I welcome cuts in Corporation Tax from 28% to 17% by 2020, and efforts
to expand export markets, through the new Department for International
Trade. Many local businesses already have a thriving export business, and I
encourage those that do not to visit the new department's website,
at www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-international-
trade, to find free information and advice on how to develop exports.
But I am aware of the challenges some South Shropshire businesses are
facing from the current business rate review. Revaluations usually happen
every five years, which allows business rates to be adjusted to reflect
changes in the property market across England. The last revaluation came
into effect in 2010, based on valuations in 2008, so it is not perhaps
surprising there will be some significant changes. Rateable values are linked
to the open market rental value, as estimated by the Valuation Office
Agency independently of government.
The most recent revaluation comes into effect from this April under which
nearly three quarters of businesses in England, including the majority in
South Shropshire, will see no change or even a fall in their rates. This is due
to the Government introducing a permanent 100% increase in rate relief for
small businesses – so from April this year, businesses with a rateable value
of £12,000 or less will pay no business rates at all. But in South Shropshire
some businesses located in areas where rents have been increasing (such as
HOLIDAY LET
3 BEDROOM BUNGALOW AT FAIRBOURNE MID WALES
£210—£300 PER WEEK
TELEPHONE: 01584 856359
www.margaretsholidaybungalow.co.uk
22Ludlow town centre), and some businesses dependent on property (such as
equine businesses with stables), with rateable values above this threshold
(or the £15,000 taper threshold) are facing unexpectedly significant rises.
This can be due to estimates made by the Valuation Office of increasing
rents in the area or assumptions about the profitability of the business. It
seems these assumptions may not reflect the reality on the ground.
I have met traders to discuss this and am concerned about the fairness of
some of these proposed increases, as South Shropshire seems to have been
disproportionately affected. So I have raised this issue with both the
relevant Minister and the Valuation Office Agency. I have also written to the
Chancellor to make him aware of my concerns.
Meanwhile, I am urging affected businesses to consider appealing the
Valuation Office Agency’s valuation to provide actual rental and other
evidence. This can be done online, at www.gov.uk/correct-your-business-
rates. Unsuccessful appeals can be also challenged at Tribunal at no
additional cost, with more information available
at www.valuationtribunal.gov.uk. South Shropshire’s economy is growing,
but attempting to levy unsubstantiated rates increases on some businesses
has the potential to put jobs at risk and slow our long term growth. So I will
continue to work with local traders to press for fairer taxes for local
businesses. Advice surgeries across the constituency are held regularly. It is
advisable to book an appointment if you wish to discuss a matter in
confidence with Philip. If you have an emergency where you would like
Philip to help, please contact him at philip.dunne.mp@parliament.uk or
constituency office on 01584872187.

23WOMEN’S INSTITUTES
Diddlebury & Westhope WI - February 2017
Kath Woodhouse opened our February meeting and welcomed a lovely
number of members and 4 visitors, 2 of which hopefully may decide to
become members!!! We went through our normal business, apologies for
absence were heard from 3 of our members and the minutes of January’s
meeting were read out by Kath. I read the report from the Group
Presidents and Secretaries meeting setting out our plans for events which
we are organising this year. Other various items were discussed and
decided upon and Kath duly closed the business part of the meeting. Kath
had to shoot off early and we wish her well with her forthcoming
operation, I’m sure she will be up on her feet with her usual enthusiasm in
no time at all. This month I welcomed our speaker for the night. Ken Arch
gave a very interesting and informative talk about Hope House. He
started by telling us of how Hope House was founded, how from one
family’s tragedy and much hard work and dedication from them, local
people and business’ and the local press, the whole idea became a reality.
This important cause continues to work hard to raise the money needed
to keep the hospice running, providing such important care to life limited
young children and their families. Last year £5million was needed to
keep the hospice running, this year even more is needed and the target of
£6.25million is the figure which so many hard working friends of the
hospice are faced to raise. The money is raised by fund raiser events,
hospice shops and gifts in wills and a lot of hard work! Ken delivered his
talk in a very informative but witty way and it really was enlightening.
He also told us of his other charity work with the Samaritans for many
years and also as a counsellor for troubled kids at ldsall School. Ken

ago and kindly showed us some lovely photos of him receiving his honour at
Buckingham Palace from Prince Charles. I thanked Ken on behalf of us all
for a really inspiring talk and hopefully we will all do our bit to continue to
raise more for the fantastic work that all those involved with Hope House
do.
We then all tucked into the lovely refreshments provided by Mary and Liz
Hall and had a lovely evening chatting generally.
Our next meeting is set for Tuesday 14th March at 7.00pm in Westhope
Village Hall. The speaker for our next meeting is Phil Revell who will be
giving a talk entitled: “Tontine” The Story of Ironbridge. I’m sure we’ll be in
for another lovely evening, please if you would like to come and join us, just
come along on the evening, or if you would like any further information,
please feel free to contact me. Email: pmc1989@btinternet.com

member) to our February meeting. After minutes were read and signed,
notices included another litter pick on March 25th, after the successful
efforts last year, though disappointing that there seems to be as much to do
again, especially discarded cans and takeaway wrappers and snowdrop teas
at Stanton Lacy Church on the weekend of 11th/12th February. Janice

to the Smile Train charity and thanked all who contributed. Debbie Williams
had been to a meeting to find out about starting a book club which
generated considerable interest.
Eileen than introduced our speaker, Jennifer Rose from Cleestanton, who
had been arranging a beautiful display of hats before the meeting began. She
told us how she had changed her interest from upholstery to millinery after
her house became full of soft furnishings and she had gone on an outing with
a friend to a “make a hat in a day” trip in Leicestershire, and that was the
start of a whole new career in millinery. She spoke to several established
milliners and did an on line course before creating hats for all occasions,
particularly for weddings and the races. She gave us a short history of the
beginning of ladies hats (originally it was only men who wore them,
especially as uniforms and for identification). Styles changed over the years
from the 1900’s when there were a great variety of hats for the rich, then
they became more affordable when the department stores opened during
the 1930’s to 50’s; small ones just after the war and then an influx from
abroad in the 1950’s. Backcombed hair greatly reduced the demand in the
60’s, but the royal family have always been trend setters in the fashion world
and especially in the wearing of hats. Jennifer then showed us a selection of
hats she had brought along, explaining a little of how they are made, either
from felt or a fine straw called sinamay, interspersed with anecdotes of
(anonymous) clients – every hat tells a tale. Eileen thanked Jennifer for her
talk which brightened up a rather chilly, dark evening.

Corvedale Book Group - February 2017
Island of Wings is Karin Altenberg’s first novel. It describes the
bleak way of life of the inhabitants of St Kilda, a remote island
situated far to the north west of Scotland, 66km west of
Benbecula in the Outer Hebrides. In 1830 the fervent,
evangelist minister Neil McKenzie arrives at the island with his
new wife Lizzie, determined to convert the population away
from their ancient beliefs to Christianity. The book describes the difficulties
of island living where the Gaelic speaking people rely on seabirds (puffins
and skuas) and Soay sheep for their food and clothing. They live in turf and
stone partly subterranean cottages, where the floors are strewn with the
carcasses of the birds and they sleep in hollows in the walls. Lizzie does not
speak Gaelic and had not envisaged such isolation, nor her husband’s
expectation that she keep herself apart from the locals, as befitted her
station in life. The island’s isolation is interrupted by rare visits from the

27post boat. Otherwise they are on their own.
While Lizzie copes with her new life and successive pregnancies, the
minister tries to change the daily life of the people. Accustomed to a
communal life style where the men allocate tasks on a daily basis and the
land is rotated between them for fairness, the minister argues for building
stone houses, above ground, along a street. He joins the men in the task as
part of his endeavour to get them to the kirk. The couple’s relationship has
its ups and downs, as you would expect.
We all found the book an interesting but not enthralling read. The literary
style was less developed than Stef Penny’s and the plot seemed to have
key inserted episodes rather than progressing freely as part of the overall
narrative. The role of women on the island and the dangers of child bearing
where a large proportion of babies died within 8 days of ‘a shaking
sickness’, were well described. The relationships were believable, at times.
In general the group felt the writer missed the opportunity to tell more of
the story of the island, including that of the ‘ minister’s family’s
adjustment as they returned to the mainland and the clearances 100 years
later.
For more information about St Kilda see the National Trust for Scotland
website which describes this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

can communicate by blinking an eyelid and he dictates this book slowly
using an alphabet card and his blinking. Now a film directed by Julian

of having a stroke and the determination of an individual to keep going.

Corvedale Garden Group - February 2017
At the time of writing to meet publication deadlines we will not have met at
10 am at Beambridge (on February 18th) to hear Malcolm and Jude Mollart’s
talk on Creating a Year Round Garden which will begin the programme for
the year, so a report will be sent for the following month and we will
generally run a month behind as we now usually meet on the third Saturday
of the month.
In the meantime, if you would like to join us on our first outing we will be
meeting at Ralph Court Gardens, Edwyn Ralph, Bromyard, HR74LU
(telephone number 01885 483225) on Saturday 18th March at 10am. It is
situated approximately 30 miles/55 minutes from the Swan at Aston
Munslow on the B4214 between Tenbury Wells and Bromyard about two
miles from Bromyard. Take the turning for Edwyn Ralph Church & the
garden is first on the right. Entry £7.50 per person, payable to Cath Burley
on the day.
Ralph Court was built in 1850 for Reverand Arthur Lucton Childe, who was
related to the Lacon –Childe & Baldwin-Childe families of Kilnet Manor &
Kyre Park. Designed by Abraham Perkins from Worcester, the neo-Tudor
style house cost £1,370. Stephen & Paula Morgan bought the house in 2004
& developed the 3 acre garden which was originally mainly grass. Stephen
trained in horticulture and worked on gold medal gardens at Hampton
Court and Chelsea RHS Flower Shows. The 12 amazing & quirky gardens,
with views over the Malvern Hills, are set in the grounds of a Gothic rectory
and include an African jungle, tree top walkway, Triton pool, Pirate Garden,
Italian Piazza, Toad Hall in the Willows, Japanese Garden. Restaurant on
site, refreshments to be paid for as required. Full disabled access. In March
the thousands of spring bulbs should be in flower with the many water
features adding additional interest. We will hope the sun comes out for our
visit. For more information see www.ralphcourtgardens.co.uk.
29Creating an interesting all year round garden.
We began the Gardening Year with Malc and Jude Mollart demonstrating
through a beautiful selection of slides how to aim for an interesting all year
round garden. The slides showed the progression in the garden’s
development over the course of several years and ended with a whisk
through the seasons. In addition to the slides they shared with us their
photograph albums and garden diaries with Malc’s beautiful hand painted
flowers and plants. Their obvious love of their garden and their plant
knowledge was inspirational.
Starting with developing a strong structure around existing (and hard to
remove fixtures such as deep concrete paths) they explained how the
garden had evolved. We were given many suggestions about useful ‘good
doers’ in the garden and successful plant pairings. The suggestions for
autumn and winter colour and scent were particularly helpful as many of
our gardens tend to focus on spring and summer. Their garden at Avocet,
Plealey is open by arrangement under the NGS from May to July. The
Garden Group is booked in to visit it in 2018.
It was lovely to have an audience of 24 to ask questions and stay and chat
afterwards. We were pleased to welcome some newcomers who included a
couple of visitors from Ludlow Garden Group which meets on the third
Wednesday of the month.
Our next visit is to the quirky Ralph Court Gardens at 10 am on Saturday 18th
March . Details were given in an earlier report. Please let me know if you
would like to join us. cathburley@hotmail.com 01584861446

Message from Action Fraud-Payment Diversion Alert
Payment diversion alert
Fraudsters are emailing members of the public who are expecting to make a
payment for property repairs. The fraudsters will purport to be a tradesman
who has recently completed work at the property and use a similar email
address to that of the genuine tradesman. They will ask for funds to be
transferred via bank transfer. Once payment is made the victims of the scam
soon realise they have been deceived when the genuine tradesman requests
payment for their services.
Protect yourself
Always check the email address is exactly the same as previous
correspondence with the genuine contact.
For any request of payment via email verify the validity of the request with a
phone call to the person who carried out the work.
Check the email for spelling and grammar as these signs can indicate that
the email is not genuine.
Payments via bank transfer offer no financial protection; consider using
alternative methods such as a credit card or PayPal which offer protection
and an avenue for recompense.
If you believe that you have been a victim of fraud you can report it online
