MAY 2021
EDITORIAL
Whether you consider yourself to be a royalist, or not, or are not bothered
either way, it would be pretty difficult not to have been moved on 17 April
by the sight of the small, lonely figure of Her Majesty, the Queen, masked
and clothed in black, sitting by herself in front of His Royal Highness Prince
Philip’s coffin in St George’s Chapel in Windsor. Over 70 years of marriage
is a very long time. As the country is gradually being freed from many
months of lockdown, not only do we feel sympathy for the Royal Family, but
we also send condolences to the many families who have lost loved ones and
been unable to mourn their loss in a more traditional manner.
Reading through May’s Woodbury News, it is as if our villages are slowly
waking up from slumber, and dates of forthcoming events are being pencilled
into hitherto empty diaries. Dare we believe that the vaccination programme
is having its desired effect, and that we may soon have freedom to meet with
friends and neighbours in churches, pubs and houses, at clubs and in
workplaces, and maybe even go on holiday to destinations once so readily
taken for granted? We welcome back all our local businesses that have been
closed down for so long and hope they have weathered the storm and will not
have to face such times again. One new enterprise since the beginning of
lockdown is The Coffee Hatch, well worth taking a detour to on your daily
walk, which helped out with the Easter cream tea (page 24) by providing the
all-important jam to go on top of the scones – this is Devon, after all.
We are tentatively starting up again our Forthcoming Events column (page
35), ever mindful that inevitably all dates must be provisional.
Readers will have benefited from six free months of Woodbury News, but
please read the Chairman’s article on page 9 and have your £6 in a named
and addressed envelope by your door ready for collection by your local
deliverer.
The cover photograph is a sculpture of Neptune (or Poseidon if you prefer),
standing resolutely in the sea near Orcombe Point in Exmouth.
Congratulations to Woodbury’s Brendan Rawlings (see page 26).

No rota this month. Many thanks to everyone who helped to decorate church
for Easter. Barbara Hill
FoSS (FRIENDS OF ST SWITHUN’S)
Although there is no possibility of hosting an indoor concert for some time,
the FoSS committee decided that there should be a gathering of members
and friends when it is safe to meet up. Thus we have pencilled in Sunday
afternoon - 19 September - to have an autumn cream tea in the Browne’s
garden at 5 Escott Cottages.
Support for FoSS is necessary as it is one of the ways in which members of
our community can support the maintenance of the church, a Grade 1 listed
building and the most significant building in the parish. The present project
is to remove or reduce the damp on the north side of the church.

FOOTPATHS REPORT
Spring has sprung and drier weather has allowed us to enjoy our local paths
from the front door. I'm sure many of us have found the huge benefit of
walking for our mental and physical health during the Covid restrictions.
We are privileged to have a network of paths in our parish that can take us
from common to sea. Primroses, daffodils and bluebells add to the
enjoyment. But we need to be respectful of our paths. Please, please pick up
dog poo, keep dogs on a lead where livestock could be present, and cycle
and horse-ride only on designated routes.
There has recently been a problem on the footpath from Exton to the
Breakers Yard. The farmer there has been so concerned about his animals
because of dog and cycling nuisance that he has sought advice from his
solicitor re possible path closure. His farm is his livelihood and his animals
need to be protected. It is in fact a criminal offence to allow dogs to cause
distress to animals, whether farm or wild ones. We know of one case where
the police are trying to track down a dog owner whose dog was chasing deer
and one was so seriously injured through crashing into a fence that it had to
be put down.
So we are appealing to everyone to respect the rules (and the law) when
enjoying our footpaths. Please help to keep animals safe and relationships
harmonious. Happy walking! Judy Green, volunteer footpath warden

LENT AND EASTER IN OUR CHURCHYARDS
Last month Woodbury Salterton reported on the White Cross Mission
Community Lent projects. These were a feature of all the churchyards and
were well supported. It was wonderful to have services in all the churches
during Holy Week and Easter Day. These pictures by Viv Armstrong-
Macdonnell are of the cairn of stones and tree with hearts in Woodbury.

FRIENDS OF WOODBURY SURGERY
It would have been really lovely to announce an actual face-to-face
gathering, but sadly, in view of current guidelines, we will have to meet
virtually. We will be holding our AGM on Tuesday 11 May, at 14.30 via
Zoom, so no afternoon tea and cake to accompany it this year!
Volunteers and supporters will be receiving an email or letter with the
invitation and link to the meeting in due course. However, the meeting is
open to all, so if anyone not included on the volunteer/supporter list would
like to attend they should contact FOWS Chair John Redwood, who will then
send them the link: johncredwood@btinternet.com (01395 232122).
Largely on account of the pandemic, there have been significant changes to
the operation and services offered by the Friends of Woodbury Surgery since
the first lockdown more than a year ago. The focus of
discussion at the AGM will therefore be on how we have had
to adapt and how we can best move forward in our service to
the patients of Woodbury Surgery. We would be very happy
to welcome new members, either as volunteers or supporters,
and even more happy if there were anyone who would like to
join the committee. The FOWS number to call is 01395
206123. Val Arndt, FOWS Coordinator

WOODBURY GARDEN CLUB
With the recent chilly weather, our gardens have been slow to get going this
year. The daffodils in the Arch have provided a wonderful show and, once
the foliage has died back, we will replace them with summer bedding. In the
meantime, the new growth of the photinia shrubs is providing colour.
As happened last
year, we can’t hold
our plant sale in the
village hall, but once
again the website is in
operation and we will
hold a table sale on
the corner of Bonfire
Lane and Parsonage
Way on 1 May, with
possibly another on 8
May.
If government guidance permits, our first club meeting will be in July and
the annual Flower and Veg show will take place in August. For further
information about the plant sale, email woodburygardenclub@gmail.com,
check the website https://woodburydevonplants.wordpress.com/ or call me
on 232462. Debby Mullier
WOODBURY VILLAGE FRONT GARDEN TABLE-TOP SALE
Whether you have been decluttering, are a local crafter or gardener with
items to sell, or a local group looking for an event to raise much needed
funds, we have planned a fun village event for everyone on Sunday 30 May
from 10.00 to 15.00.
We would like as many villagers as possible to have a stall in their front
garden/driveway or from their car boot and sell whatever they wish.
Each stall will be marked on a map, so that the community and visitors can
go around the village and visit all the stalls. The cost will be £5 to appear on
the map, which will be on sale for £1. The money raised will be donated to
local groups/organisations.
Please contact us if you would like to register via deborahstevenson@
hotmail.co.uk. The last day to register to be on the map is Thursday 20
May. Look out for event updates on the Woodbury and Woodbury Salterton
Community Matters Facebook page or village noticeboards.

WOODBURY CRICKET CLUB
Cricket is back!
As you can imagine, we are all very excited at the cricket club to be playing
cricket again. It has been a long winter, with only limited sporting activity
allowed, but that hasn’t stopped us from making improvements to the club.
We are very proud to announce we have agreed a three-year sponsorship
deal with Jurassic Fibre, a local ultrafast full-fibre broadband provider. The
Marketing Manager of Jurassic Fibre is also a keen cricket fan and we look
forward to hosting a match between Jurassic Fibre and the club this summer.
At the time of writing, the pre-season friendlies are already underway and we
have witnessed some notable performances; in particular, 50s from Nalin
Chouhan, Tom Sunderland, Max Weston and Andy Smale, as well as
wickets for Ross Jarvis, Becca Silk, Leighton Dayman and Daniel Alford.
We plan to post our fixture list on the village noticeboard and extend a
welcome to anyone who wishes to watch our matches.
The colts section of the club will begin training sessions on Friday evenings
from the end of April and I am sure that all parents and children are looking
forward to organised cricket coaching and the subsequent age-related games
against other cricket clubs. Young players being able to enjoy physical
exercise and learning new skills in a structured environment is to be
welcomed by everyone.
Finally, I think I should mention the dog ban. As a cricket club we would
love to work with the local community to enable dog walking to continue in
the summer. However, during the season we do need to protect the health
and safety of our players and, to this end, we have agreed with the Council/
Orchard that a fence can be erected, so that dog walking can continue to the
left of the entrance during the cricket season. Please speak with the Parish
Council if you support this approach, in order to help support and drive this
initiative. Ian Hughes, Woodbury & Newton St Cyres CC

WOODBURY NEWS SUBSCRIPTIONS 2021-22
Many thanks to all our readers who have been so understanding throughout
the pandemic. As you are probably aware the usual collection of
subscriptions was suspended for six months in January because of the
uncertainty over the spread of the virus.
Throughout the pandemic, Woodbury News has continued to be published,
although for some months this was online only in order to keep our
volunteers and readers safe.
Unfortunately we cannot continue to produce a magazine with a circulation
of more than 700 copies for free. We will therefore be resuming the
collection of subscriptions from June. The cost of £6 (no change from
previous years) - just 50p a month - will cover a whole year of the Woodbury
News from July 2021 to June 2022.
When your collector calls in May/June, it would be much appreciated if you
could have £6 ready, preferably in an envelope with your address on.
Many thanks, in advance, to all readers for your continued support. In an
age when newspapers and magazines have suffered steep declines in sales
because of changing habits and online competition, Woodbury News has
retained readers and gained new ones, continuing the job it has done for
Woodbury, Woodbury Salterton and Exton since 1964.
We look forward to reporting the resumption of activities for many years to
come as the Woodbury area and its residents move carefully into the post-
Covid era. Jeremy Boyden, Chairman, Woodbury News

WOODBURY AND DISTRICT ROYAL BRITISH LEGION
On Monday 3 May, at around 14.00, Reg Wilkinson, the Chairman of
Brixton Branch Royal British Legion, is taking to the skies perched on the
top wing of a bi-plane to complete a wing walk, and by doing so is hoping to
raise money for the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal.
The former royal military policeman and retired Thames Valley police
officer feels it is the right time to shake off the Covid blues and do
something positive by raising money for our organisation to help the
beneficiaries of our armed forces community.
Woodbury and District RBL have donated £50 to Reg’s magnificent
undertaking. What a wonderful effort at 84 years of age!
If you would like to sponsor Reg on his wing walk, please go to his
fundraising page at https://justgiving.com/fundraising/rbl-wing-walk or
email brixton.secretary@rbl.community to find out more. Sandra Huish
CHRISTIAN AID WEEK 10-15 May
In view of Covid-19 restrictions, there will be no Christian Aid envelope
collection in Woodbury this year. However donations can be left in a slotted
box in the porch at Heatherdene between 09.00 and 19.00 from Monday 10
May to Saturday 15 May inclusive. The box will be checked regularly.
Contributions will also be made by the congregations of Christ Church and
St Swithun’s. Last year’s envelopes will be available so that donors can fill
in the Gift Aid form if they wish to increase their donation by 25%.
To encourage your generosity, you are welcome to walk round the garden at
Heatherdene AT YOUR OWN RISK and help yourselves from the potted
and labelled plants on display, until they run out. The plants and some bags
will be placed around the upper lawn. Please beware of some uneven paths.
Heatherdene is on Broadway. Coming from Exeter it is just before Fulford
Way on the left with a parking layby in front of the arched gateway. This
entrance gate will be marked with balloons. Please leave by the top gate and
drive, which will be signposted, to enable a one-way flow and make social
distancing easier.
We have been so fortunate with the vaccination programme here that dona-
tions to help those countries which are struggling to even access vaccines
would seem particularly appropriate this year. Carolyn Keep11
WOODBURY TENNIS CLUB
There is plenty of activity at the tennis courts. The players are competing
with the tractors on the playing fields — even our noisiest players cannot be
heard. Members have taken advantage of the dry weather and the courts
have been in use for most of the time. The club has had to close
membership for those outside Woodbury but residents of the parish may still
join. The planning application for the rebuilding of our club hut has been
approved but, to enable uninterrupted play during the summer, we have
decided to wait until autumn to start the work. Hopefully the club will be
able to refurbish and use the former football club toilets in the summer
season.
We intend to continue our successful junior coaching programme on
Wednesdays during the summer term with the experienced Exmouth coach
John Wingate taking charge — the first session will be on 5 May. New
members (6+) wishing to join, please email Helen (helenryland@btinternet.
com) to express interest.
The club now has many enthusiastic members and there have been team
practices for both men’s teams and the ladies team. All league matches will
start in the second half of May. The regular club sessions on Tuesday and
Sunday mornings have been well supported (the maximum of 12 being
achieved), and it is hoped that members will also attend on Friday evenings
when the courts are available for turn up and play.
The club hopes to be able to host a mixed tournament and barbecue on
Sunday 18 July and a triples tournament on 15 August.
For new members the annual subscription rates remain at £65 per adult, £40
day membership and £15 junior membership, so we hope Woodbury
residents who have played or wish to play the game will visit the club and
join in. Please contact Pat Browne 232805 (ruthandpatb@aol.com).

WOODBURY C OF E PRIMARY SCHOOL
We are excited to be welcoming the children back for the summer term. The
teachers have lots of fun and exciting plans for the children and we will be
making the most of the finer and warmer weather by getting outside to enjoy
our lovely grounds. For this edition, it is Maple and Beech Classes’ turn to
share what they have been exploring with their learning in class.
Beech Class
In March, Beech Class were very
excited to have some visitors come to
school. We had lambs and our school
guinea pigs. We learnt that the guinea
pigs need fresh hay, grass and
vegetables every day. They also need
cleaning out, and need lots of
opportunities to play and have fun. The
lambs need a big field so they can run
around and have to be fed - some are
fed by their mothers and some are fed
by bottle. Their wool is used to make
clothes like jumpers. We also had great
fun learning new things in our topic –
Down on the Farm.
Maple Class
It is hard to believe that we are now entering the summer term at school.
Even with the challenges of another lockdown and remote learning, we
enjoyed another fantastic spring term of learning in Maple Class.13 Our topic for the first eight weeks of the term was Tree Top Explorers with our learning focused around rainforests. We spent time researching and learning about where rainforests are found, why rainforests exist, what they are like and why they are so important to the world that we live in. Some children even created their own rainforests in a jar! We also had an art focus, with the children looking at the work of Oenone Hammersley and creating their own rainforest-inspired paintings and drawings, particularly focused on the use of pattern, colour and texture.

WOODBURY C OF E PRIMARY SCHOOL cont’d/...
For the final four weeks of the term, our topic was Vive la France! We spent
time learning about France – its geography, climate and culture – and
comparing and contrasting the human and physical geography of France and
Paris with the UK and Woodbury. On the final Wednesday of the term, to
celebrate all of our learning, Maple Class opened our very own fast food
restaurant, La Maison de la Salade!
The children created
websites, posters,
menus, logos and TV
adverts. They also
decorated the class-
room and then
prepared their own
salads that we had
been designing as part
of our DT work. It
was a great day.
Wishing you all well.

WOODBURY VILLAGE HALL
The Woodbury Village Hall AGM on 12 April was held virtually.
2020 was a difficult year and the hall suffered along with most businesses,
having to close for long periods and having limited use when it was allowed
to open. We qualified for government grants and, as usual, our trusty
treasurer Pat Browne looked after our accounts and kept everything
shipshape. Robin Lennox together with his wife Marian have worked
wonders with the limited bookings we were allowed to make.
We took advantage of the closures to make improvements, decorating as we
went along. The corridor between the kitchen and the back emergency exit
has been widened allowing a cloaks storage area to be created; the old pre-
school store room has had the door widened and is now much easier to
access and has become the store for users' equipment; the kitchen floor
substructure was breaking down so this has been repaired and a new floor
fitted; the stage floor has been painted and an additional sensor light put
along the back passage to the car park.
Julia Thornton and David Whitton were welcomed as new directors and
thanks were given to all of the directors for their unstinting work in keeping
the hall in tip-top condition.
Chris Lear retired as a director and Chris Quantick stood down as chairman
with Belinda Price taking on this role.
The chairman thanked everyone for their hard work during the year and their
support for her as chairman for the past five years. Chris Quantick

HOLY TRINITY CHURCH
Easter Day - Back in church
It was a joy to be back in church to celebrate Easter Day – as we were unable
to do last year.
Revd Bill conducted the service of Holy Communion at which a group of
four singers in the choir were able to sing the Easter hymns. He blessed the
Easter garden in church and two small ones made by children. At the end
everybody went outside into the churchyard where all were allowed to sing
the final hymn Thine be the glory. Katharine Wheeler
Katharine receives Maundy Money from the Queen
We were all thrilled to hear that Katharine Wheeler had received a letter
from Her Majesty the Queen awarding her the honour of receiving Maundy
money. Her nomination was for Christian service. She was recommended
by the Bishop but sadly could not go to Westminster Abbey to receive it in
person, due to the lockdown. Only 95 men and 95 women in the whole of
the country received the money this year – the number relates to the age of
the Queen.
Katharine has been the organist at
Woodbury Salterton for over 29
years, often helping out at other
churches in our Mission
Community. She also runs the
church choir, has made many of
their robes and is very active in the
school, being a governor for 20
years and linking the school and the
church.
Katharine raises hundreds of
pounds for the church every year
with her very popular quizzes and
numerous knitted animals.
Maundy money comes in two
leather purses. The red purse
contained £5.50 including a special
£5 coin to commemorate the
Queen’s 95th birthday and a 50p
coin to mark the 50th anniversary of Decimal Day in 1971. The white purse
contains Maundy coins - silver pennies, twopences, threepences and
fourpences totalling 95 pence. All coins are newly minted.
Congratulations Katharine, so well deserved. Jill Dupain17
WOODBURY SALTERTON WOMEN’S INSTITUTE
As lockdown ceases we all hoped to return to normal life (as it was pre-
Covid). Sadly, in many cases this will not happen and we have had to adapt
to a new normal. Woodbury Salterton WI has maintained contact with
members as best we could during lockdown but we reluctantly voted to
suspend our Institute, taking effect from 31 March 2021.
This does not mean The End of our Institute: Suspension means just that,
namely that we hope to restart activities at some future point. WI records of
importance will be held by the Devon Federation of Women's Institutes for a
period of three years. If anyone should want to reinstate the WI within this
period, there will be a record of our history and funds to start again.
We have an exceptional group of ladies and we have had offers to join
nearby WIs. We thank both Woodbury and Aylesbeare for offering a hand
of friendship to us.
Our WI was started in 1954 and, according to the records we have, there
were 42 members. Some of us were privileged to know two founder
members - Doris Eveleigh and Margaret Smith.
There were many Christmas shopping trips, group meetings with
competitions and debates after about who and what won. We visited
Highgrove Gardens with a bus driver who did not know the way. Many a
Christmas service was enjoyed at Exeter Cathedral and to hear Jerusalem
being sung by a congregation consisting mainly of ladies was unforgettable
and we were pleased to see two of our members in the choir. There are so
many happy memories.
Now is the time to move forward and we hope to start the lunches at The
Digger’s Rest as soon as we are able. We would like to think that we could
evolve into an all-inclusive group of people who want to get together and
have a chat over a cup of coffee or a meal. Gill Bricknell
Suspension by Zoom - but a chance to say Thank You
The formalities of the suspension of Woodbury Salterton WI were carried
out via Zoom, led by DFWI Adviser, Jenny Roberts. A few WI members
joined the three officers, Gill Bricknell (President), Terrie Newman
(Secretary) and Gill Scott (Treasurer) online.
Valerie Davieson wished it to be recorded that our branch is very
appreciative of, and grateful for, all the work that our three officers have put
in to keep our Institute going for so long. Gill has served two terms as
President, Terrie has been an excellent Secretary for many years and Gill
Scott an extremely efficient Treasurer. In normal times we would have
thanked them all at our AGM but in the present circumstances we have to do
this through the magazine. Katharine Wheeler18
WOODBURY SALTERTON C OF E
PRIMARY SCHOOL
A belated Happy Easter from us all!
The continuing Covid-free school restrictions prevented
us from having our usual Easter service in church with
our children’s parents and carers. We want to share
with you all that we have been learning about this
month in the lead-up to this very special time of year.
Class 1 listened to the Easter story and created an Easter garden. Class 2
have been learning about the Easter story and painted pictures to show the
life of Jesus and wrote about why he was such an important person. The
artwork has been fixed to the perimeter fence, so it can be seen by all
walking or driving past our school.
Class 2 also wrote an EASTER acrostic
poem:
Everybody can celebrate because Jesus rose
from the dead,
All on earth are loved by God,
Spending time with family and friends,
This is a time for new beginnings,
Easter is a time for reflection towards God,
Remember that God loves everyone, let’s pray
for today.
Learning has continued in both the classrooms
and in the newly refurbished Forest School that we told you about last
month; highlights for the children have included Bikeability training for the
year 5s with a trainer from Devon County Council. The children learned
how to check that their bicycles are roadworthy and safe for use, mastered
some tricky manoeuvres and how to stay alert and safe when cycling on the
roads in the village by paying attention to important road signs.
Classes 2 and 3 took part in learning with Becky Mason (School Sport
Coordinator from the Dartmoor School Sport Partnership) about being
‘Sugar Smart’. All the children were really interested and engaged in
learning how to become more aware of the good and bad sugars in our food.
They learned all about increasing the amount of good natural sugars that
occur naturally in our fruit and vegetables and how to limit the bad sugars in
many of the products we consume every day. The children learned about the
effects that too much bad sugar have on our bodies, teeth and behaviour.
The recommended maximum amount of bad sugar a day is no more than five
cubes for 4 – 6 year olds, six cubes for 7 – 10 year olds and seven cubes for
11+ year olds (1 cube = 1 teaspoon = 4 grams). Did you know that research
has shown that some children in the UK are having 10 times their daily
recommended maximum of bad sugar a day!?!19
The children were very surprised at the amount of sugar in the everyday food
products they looked at and learned how important it is to check the labels of
the products we buy to be aware of what we are consuming. The children
also looked at the importance of exercise and that they need a minimum of
60 minutes’ activity a day to achieve an energy balance. Our energy balance
is our input of food to our output of energy we use… trying to make it
balance out!
The children learned about swapping bad sugar for good and shared how
they got on at home over the holidays. Some additional information to look
at can be found on the government website:
Sugar Swaps for Kids | Make a Swap | Change4Life (www.nhs.uk)
In March the children in Class 2
celebrated Red Nose Day by creating
giant red noses with funny faces and an
inspirational message to spread
happiness and joy. Class 3 joined in the
fun on Comic Relief Day and created red
noses with a smile. The children thought
of inspirational quotes to pass on to our
community which can be found on our
school website on the Latest News page.
Also in March, Class 3 celebrated the work of great scientists during British
Science Week, including Alan Turing, Helen Sharma and Jane Goodall.
They discussed the importance of scientific discovery and imagined how
they could one day be involved – from studying animals in the wild to flying
to the moon!
This month we have said
farewell to two very
special teachers who are
moving on to new careers.
Mrs Turner and Mrs
Shepherd are both leaving
and the children gave a
special outdoor assembly
to say thank-you and
goodbye. Mrs Shepherd
has been with the school
for ten years and Mrs
Turner has been with us
for nine years. Cont’d/...20
WOODBURY SALTERTON C OF E PRIMARY SCHOOL cont’d/...
They have both made an enormous contribution to the school, to the children
they have taught and to the team they have been part of. They will both be
sorely missed and we offer them our thanks and warmest wishes as they
move on to the next phases of their lives.
Mrs Milford, Head of Learning, shared a message
for children and parents on our website: We have
reached the end of this term but it is fair to say that
the last few months have been a bit of a
rollercoaster! We have felt incredibly supported by
all of you and the children have shown such
resilience in the face of many changes. It has been
a relief for all of us to be able to get back to a
relatively normal school routine and it has been
lovely to see the children laughing, playing with their friends and enjoying
their learning. We hope you and your family have a wonderful break and
can find some time to rest and catch up with friends and family.

WEATHER REPORT
March was a very dry month: only 34mm (1 1/3 inches)
of rain fell, of which 22mm appeared in the second
week here at Ebford. The recent 10-year average for the
month is 69mm (2 3/4 ins).
March rainfall followed a relatively dry January and
February, the 3-month total being only 197mm (7 3/4
inches).
As I write in mid–April no significant rain/snow has fallen here since 25
March, and none is really forecast for the next two weeks. Garden pots and
transplanted items require steady, frequent watering; perhaps climate change
includes the absence of April showers! Norman Cann

ST ANDREW’S CHURCH, EXTON
Early, at 06.15 on Easter

gathered at the rear of St
Andrew’s Church for the first
part of a dawn service. Revd
Bill had lit a barbeque fire
from which he lit the Pascal
Candle and two lanterns. A
short service followed which
included prayers and
readings, and because we
were outside, we were able to
sing hymns. Peter Grist was
a great help as there was no

We then processed into the church, which happily was warm, for the second
part of the service. Although quite chilly outside, it was a unique experience
and one we all felt we would like to repeat another year. After receiving
Holy Communion we left to find the sun had indeed risen, the windscreens
of the cars were sparkling with frost, and it was a beautiful start to Easter

WPC are continuing their meetings via Zoom. Parishioners
are reminded that it is always possible to join the meetings
and speak in the Public Session. The Zoom details are posted at the top of
our agendas on our website, though WPC will always favour face-to-face
meetings with the public in attendance. Current government guidelines are
that we must resume face-to-face meetings in early May but this must surely
be balanced against other government guidelines about meeting in large
groups. It is still the subject of some debate and we await its outcome.
The lockdown period has inevitably left us more hemmed in. An unfortunate
consequence of this is an increase in dog fouling in the Parish. Please clear
up after your dog wherever it fouls. Whilst most dog owners do clean up, it
is an offence not to clean up in any public place. As well as being
unpleasant and unsightly, dog mess can carry a parasite called toxocara,
which can lead to toxocariasis infection. At its worst this infection can cause
blindness, with children being particularly vulnerable.
In addition, a number of local farmers, who support public footpaths passing
through their fields, have become particularly distressed by dogs running in
their fields off leads. As a dog owner myself, if I am in a farmer’s field, I
always put my dog on a lead; you never know what is there, particularly
during lambing season.
Please expect to see some additional signage throughout the Parish
concerning this issue. The cricket field in Woodbury will resume its
traditional May to September dog ban, a ban that was suspended last year in
light of the Covid restrictions. We recognise this leaves little area where
dogs can be walked off the lead within the Parish; WPC are looking at
possible options to resolve this but are open to suggestions and efforts as to
possible solutions. David Craig, Proper Officer, Clerk & RFO

ROUND AND ABOUT
DEATH
Valerie Mary Whiteley (nee Heggs). 2 August 1939 – 25 March 2021
Val was born in Plympton on 2 August 1939. She
attended Plympton Junior School where she met
lifelong friends Richard, Ann, Ian and Judith. She
then went to Plympton Grammar School where she
excelled - but not at sport, even prevailing on her
mother to write notes to get her out of joining
sports classes. Val qualified as a teacher at
Salisbury Training College where she was known
to sneak out with friends after lights out! Her first
teaching job was in West Quantoxhead in
Somerset where, in 1963 during the coldest winter
on record, she met Dennis. They were married on
I August 1963.
Later, having moved to Exeter in the early 70s,
Val taught at the School for the Deaf. After successfully completing a 2-year
mandatory Teacher of the Deaf Diploma, Val worked with many age groups,
ending her career in the Further Education Department teaching computer
studies and accompanying the students to Exeter College.
Val and Dennis, along with their boys, Miles and Bruce, moved to Woodbury
in 1976 and soon engaged fully in village life and activities. Their links with
Woodbury remained as strong as ever after they moved to their present house
on Marley Drive.
After she retired, Val threw herself into local activities, including the Inner
Wheel, the Garden Club, the book club and the church to name just a few,
gaining executive positions. She was enthusiastic about everything from a
greenhouse full of seedlings to be potted out, to the arrangements for the next
speaker or to the baking of the next batch of fruit cakes.
Val would be the first to admit that sport was not her top priority. However,
when it came to walking, there was no stopping her! Along with their friends,
Mike and Joyce Jeans and Keith and Jackie Bungay, Val and Dennis
completed a number of long distance paths that included the South West Way,
Cotswold Way, Offa’s Dyke, Two Moors Way and the Pembrokeshire Coast
Path – 1000+ miles in all.
Sincere condolences go to her husband Dennis, sons Miles and Bruce,
daughters-in-law Karen and Jo, grandson Arthur, her brother Roger and sister-
in-law Jill. They wish to say a special thankyou for all the wonderful cards and
messages received and for the generous contributions made to their chosen
charity, the Donkey Sanctuary. Val was very fond of animals and loved all
things wildlife.
Val will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved her.
Keith Bungay and Pat Jebb24
EASTER TAKEAWAY CREAM TEA
To mark the first anniversary of Dad’s passing and to honour the incredible
work of Hospiscare, which enabled us to keep him at home until the end, we
decided to hold a fundraiser to support their brilliant care in the community
work. We baked 206 scones and 60 cupcakes, and were supported by Jess
from the Coffee Hatch in Woodbury Business Park, who provided takeaway
cups and the jam. Between 14.00 and 16.00 we provided a steady stream of
customers with a takeaway cream tea and were thrilled to have raised
£442.20 for Hospiscare. Thank you to everyone who came along and
supported us. Sarah Hornblower and Jane Butler

THE BUDLEIGH HUB
The Budleigh Hub aims to improve the health and happiness of our
communities in Woodbury, Exmouth and Budleigh (including surrounding
villages). We have been doing this for the last three years.
The last year has been interesting and we have adapted and supported our
community in differing ways. Our volunteers have completed over 4,000
‘acts of kindness’. These range from: 600 food shopping trips; 800
vaccinations trips; 2,000 meals cooked and delivered by our Launchpad café;
1,200 prescriptions collected; 200 people befriended via phone; library book
delivery and dog walking. Some volunteers have given over 250 hours of
their time. Simply amazing.
In better times we have run low impact exercise classes in Woodbury and
used our transport service to bring Woodbury residents to the Budleigh Hub
for other classes, activities and medical appointments. Those good times are
hopefully starting to return and it is more important than ever that, after a
year of isolation, we go the extra mile to help Woodbury residents.
We have realised that the name Budleigh Hub points to a specific location
when in fact we provide services outside that location. Some people think it
is restricted to Budleigh residents only.
We want to help people make a seachange, better themselves and lead happy,
healthier lives. The name Seachange fits exactly with what we are trying to
help others to achieve, and so Budleigh Hub will be known as Seachange
from the end of June onwards.
You will start to see Seachange being more visible in Woodbury. Our
vehicles now offer a wider transportation service. Working with the Friends
of Woodbury Surgery, our drivers can now take you to your medical
appointments throughout East Devon and Exeter for a small donation. We
continue to offer a great range of low impact classes, dementia support, a
gym, café, nursery, holistic therapies, NHS services and support groups. If
you find something we don’t do, but would like us to do, let us know.

Marc Jobson, Budleigh Hub Manager26 OLD GODS ASSEMBLE Brendan Rawlings’ new sculpture is called Old Gods Assemble. Neptune/ Poseidon (depending on whether it’s the Roman or Greek God of the rivers and sea) is summoning all of the old gods to help humanity in their time of need. C-19, pollution, deforestation, capitalism, global warming and the general over-exploitation of the planet’s resources and inhabitants has angered this god and he intends to put a stop to it. The sculpture took four long weeks to complete; standing at 12ft tall to the top of his trident, it is arguably Brendan’s best work yet. The main body of the sculpture is predominantly made from two reclaimed Douglas fir docking blocks from Plymouth, but Brendan has also used local driftwood for the head, shield and trident. The sculpture is currently residing in the sculptor’s front garden in Woodbury but will be officially shown at a fundraising event for the RNLI in the next couple of months. Brendan aims to bring the drift and reclaimed wood he uses back to life whilst still respecting it with sustainable practices. He makes all manner of sculptures, from colourful highland cows to human busts and large-scale tree carvings. As Brendan explains, “One of the most fascinating aspects of figurative work for me is how the manipulation of the slightest body movement, be it in the raising of an eyebrow or extension of the neck, can trigger a powerful emotive response in people; it’s about capturing a specific emotion in the sculpture to evoke another in the onlooker." Brendan is very open to producing bespoke commissions and can remake any past piece, albeit slightly different due to the unique nature of the materials used.

JAMES RUSSELL, A MUSICAL PRODIGY OF THE PARISH
James Russell was born in 1830 in Exton, the son of William and Mary Ann
née Payne. William was a carpenter and father of seven children. The 1841
census shows James to be at school, but ten years later he was living at
Ebford Barton as a servant to Major General Brice Wakeford Lee.
There must have been something exceptional about this young man since, as
a boy, he was receiving piano
and organ lessons from a well-
known teacher in Exeter, Mr H
Franklin. In 1846, at the age of
16, he was appointed organist
at St Swithun’s, but soon
resigned in his opposition to the
new high church vicar, the
Reverend John Loveband
Fulford. The Lee family at
Ebford Barton had for many
years employed various
members of the Russell family of Exton and Ebford, as a consequence of
which all the Russell employees followed the Presbyterian beliefs of their
employers, worshipping at Gulliford.
So how did this young man end up at Magdalen Hall in Oxford, and who
would have funded his musical education there? It seems likely that this
young musician was taken under the wing of the Lee family, having shown
such great promise as a boy. His parents were simple, uneducated country
folk who were unlikely to be able to pay for lessons with a good teacher or
his degree course at university, so one has to surmise that funding came from
the Lee family. It is possible that James may have been the recipient of a
scholarship, but his family would not have been in a position to arrange this.
The family at Ebford Barton might also have taken pity on the boy as his
mother died of TB when James was 12, and in 1859 his father died. It is also
possible that he was not resident in Oxford but attended Magdalen to present
his ‘exercise’ for assessment for his degree – this was not unusual at this
time. Magdalen Hall was an older college than Magdalen College and in the
1870s changed to its present name of Hertford College.
In 1858 the local newspaper reported that ‘Mr. James Russell of Magdalen
Hall, Oxford, and resident at Ebford Barton, composed an exercise for
orchestra, choir and solo singers, which was played in front of the music
school and Dr Elvey (D Music), the vice-chancellor.’ This composition was
an exercise for his B Mus degree and according to the judges ‘it is one of the
best exercises which has been performed for a number of years and affords
indication of extraordinary musical ability.’ Cont’d/…28
JAMES RUSSELL cont’d/...
The Oxford alumni list for
Magdalen Hall shows that in 1865
James was awarded a doctorate of
music – he is also recorded as a
gentleman.
After receiving his degree, James
started to earn his living, and the
following advertisement was
inserted in the Exeter newspapers
in July 1858: ‘Mr James Russell,
Bachelor of Music in the
University of Oxford, Professor of
organ, pianoforte and thorough bass (notation and harmony) - address
Ebford Barton, or at Messrs Smith musical Emporium, High Street, Exeter.’
He also offered lessons in piano and singing at Exmouth and Budleigh
Salterton. The following year James wrote, and had published, some songs
and religious music, including a motet which was published by Novello.
One of the highlights of the year for him was a concert given by the Exeter
Oratorio Society in which the motet he had composed at Oxford was
performed – it was described as a beautiful and elaborate piece. A further
triumph for him was in 1865 when he composed a new choral anthem to be
performed in Westminster
Abbey.
In 1865 James married
Ellen Nicks, the daughter of
a grocer from Exmouth, and
they moved into Riversmeet
Terrace, a substantial house
in Topsham which was
divided into three
dwellings, where he taught
music. The household
could afford a nurse, a
housemaid and a general
servant. Ellen was 17 years younger than James but within the first five
years of marriage had produced four children – two more were born in the
middle of the 1870s. By 1877 the family had moved to Guernsey, where
Percy the youngest child, was born. They were living in Vauvert Villa in St
Peter Port, where James described himself as a doctor of music (Oxon). In
1876 James became the Hon Sec for Devon for the newly established
National Training School for Music in Kensington, with Arthur Sullivan as
its principal.29
A report in 1870 considered the school unsatisfactory and it was closed and
replaced by the new Royal College of Music. By 1891 the family was back
in England, this time to ‘Coombe Meadow’, Prince of Wales Road in
Carshalton. James was still teaching, but was also supporting five of his
children who were living at home. Two of the daughters were governesses,
two of the sons were clerks in an office, and his oldest son, George, was also
a music teacher.
By 1901 James and Ellen were ready to retire, and moved to ‘Clare House’
in Margate living ‘on their own means’. Evidently James’ career had been
successful enough to fund their comfortable retirement. He died in 1905 at
the age of 75. Gill Selley
We get a lot of calls asking us to rescue animals and the first questions we
ask are:
� Are you sure that it's still alive?
� What is it?
� Is it a baby, juvenile or an adult?
� Can you see any blood?
� Can you see any visible injuries?
When we get to the casualty it is often a different species, a different age and
in a different condition. Bearing that in mind you can understand why we
were sceptical when a boat owner called us to say that a beaver was stuck in
the mud on the estuary in Exmouth!
If he hadn’t sent me a photo of the casualty I would have expected to find a
wet squirrel or a young otter. In this instance I knew straight away that their
identification was correct and that we had a serious problem on our hands.
“Don’t approach it.” I told them: “It will be extremely dangerous to try and
touch it.”
We stopped what we were doing and cancelled our plans for the rest of the
day. We loaded a large cage and a grasper (a sort of lasso on an aluminium
pole) plus blankets, welding gloves and a net onto the Land Rover and
dashed down to the river Exe.
The poor animal was exhausted. It was a young adult that had probably been
sent off to see the world by its parents. We waded into the mud and
carefully placed the open cage near its head. We then built up a barrier
around the cage so it had no choice but to go into it.
Cont’d/...30 WILD WOODBURY cont’d/... I put the noose around its neck and tightened the cord as much as I dared. I then started to drag it towards the opening. With an explosion of energy, anger and determination it burst forward into the cage and Colin, my assistant, pulled the door shut using a rope we had attached to it. Mission accomplished. We carried the cage carefully up the muddy banks and put it into the Land Rover. All that was left for us to do was take it to the waiting vets at RSPCA West Hatch near Taunton for emergency treatment. We will let you know how it's getting on next month.

RSPB AYLESBEARE COMMON
The first thing to mention this month is the
completion of the roadside ash removal on
the A3052, following the identification of
ash dieback last summer. While it is a
shame to lose these trees it is vital to
ensure the safety of road users. We felled
these infected trees now, before the dieback became so pronounced that there
was a danger of brittle branches falling in high winds and while they were
healthy enough to fell easily and safely. The timber currently remains on site
as we are once again working with the arboriculture students from Bicton
College, who are chipping the brash and processing the timber ready for
removal.
Following the scrub control work on the mires for the southern damselfly,
the habitat is now at a good stage to promote colonisation when young adults
(called tenerals) emerge in the summer while still providing some shelter for
roosting adults. The presence of our hardy ponies and cattle helps to
maintain suitable conditions in the areas currently used by the population of
southern damselfly – their grazing keeps the mire vegetation in check and as
they move through the landscape they trample down the tussocks and lightly
churn the waterlogged soils, creating bare ground on the runnel edges for
plants such as the bog pimpernel and sundew to establish. One last human
intervention into the area has been to dig a network of ponds in the cleared
zones across the mire to provide still water in which breeding pairs of many
species of damselfly and dragonfly can lay their eggs. Dams and small
ponds are a useful means by which to slow the flow of a watercourse,
holding water in an area to create a network of shallow runnels and creating
places where there are reliably high water levels year round. Southern
damselflies are highly sensitive to water pollution; in combination with
habitat loss, water pollution is thought to have caused the significant past
declines in their populations. The clean, oxygenated water that flows across
the mires on Aylesbeare Common is one of the most crucial elements
ensuring the persistence of the population on Aylesbeare.
Our last section of scrub clearance before the beginning of the birds’
breeding season was around the tumuli on Aylesbeare. Preventing the
encroachment of scrub and trees close to the barrow is a way for us to protect
these historical features – roots growing into the tumulus can damage the
structure, as can trampling by people and ponies.
As mentioned, the breeding season for many of our birds on Aylesbeare has
now begun in earnest. This is an excellent time of year to view male birds
displaying to attract a mate: the trees are not yet in full leaf so birds are
comparatively easy to spot, and the males necessarily like to make
themselves very visible to any females within their territories. Cont’d/...32
RSPB AYLESBEARE COMMON cont’d/…
At the time of writing, we have already seen breeding displays or heard
breeding calls from Dartford warblers, blackcaps, and stonechats, and the
thrushes and tits are beginning to construct this year’s nests.
Species feature: blackcap
Blackcaps are a type of warbler, sometimes called northern nightingales for
their beautiful fluting song. A partial migrant, blackcaps come to Britain to
breed, although in the southern counties individuals are increasingly
choosing to overwinter here as well. About the size of a sparrow and greyish
in colour with a pale breast, their easiest identifying feature, as their name
suggests, is the distinctive and sharply defined glossy black cap, reaching
down to just above the eyes from the beak to the back of the neck. However,
as with many species, the female is less obvious, as her cap is a rich chestnut
brown; juvenile birds also start off with a brownish cap, rather duller than the
adult female’s, which then intensifies or changes to black as the bird
matures. Blackcaps make loose cup-shaped nests of grass, roots and animal
hair, laying around half a dozen eggs per brood. Many birds will use animal
hair to construct or line their nests, so if you have a pet you need to brush
regularly, try leaving some of their
fluffy hair out near a feeder or nestled in Find out more

birds to use. Human hair is not suitable blackcaps on
for birds’ nests as it is too strong, and the RSPB
