From The Vicarage, June 2015.
It’s parade season: in Britain veterans in wheelchairs recall a war long
past and celebrate a peace which for us still, pretty much, prevails.
One chap, chest clanking with medals, shakes hands with the Prince
of Wales, an informal gesture from an old soldier to a future sovereign.
There was a very different parade, however, in Moscow last month.
Russian troops, Russian hardware, from decorative infantry to missile
launchers, marched past President Putin, standing on the Kremlin
balcony looking like a Communist era leader presiding over a society
expressly founded on the belief that all are equal.
It’s a long way from the Soviet Union to Britain, but we too have our
Great Leaders, quite a lot, until recently, with Dave and Nick and Ed
on their battlebuses, delivering carefully managed speeches to
carefully managed crowds, while a young(ish) woman lands hatless
from the air. To the victor, the spoils.
The church too sometimes seems in thrall to the cult of Leadership, with
talent-management, and accelerated promotion schemes promised
for the brightest and best coming into ministry now. Easy to knock,
especially if you’re not in it, but the church does have a distinctive
model of leadership of its own, and it’s a very different one.
We follow one who serves, who gave up his power to submit to his
enemies, who died a humiliating death, so we might live for glory. And
if that sounds like mere pieties, it seems to really work, for busted
bankers, and fired buffoons, and the deselected and unelected and
rejected, the losers of this world whose ranks, sooner or later we’ll all,
join.
Yours in Christ,
Fr Richard.

as this event is well attended. We will
be singing 8 hymns chosen this year
by the ‘Churches Together’ group.

May Queen
Emily Buckby was crowned May
Queen for 2015 on May 3rd after the
Church service. Her attendants who
all looked delightful were Isabel,
Jessica, Taylor, Abi, Hannah,
Melanie, Hannah, Jarrod, and
Daniel. Unfortunately the weather
was a little unkind so we held the
ceremonies inside the Church.
The choir opened the proceedings
with two melodious merry May songs
sung in A cappella followed by
Jacqui’s legendary mummer play.
It was a little fortuitous that the
weather was inclement because the
Maypole ribbons had disappeared. It
proved to be a great disappointment
to our dedicated pole dancers.
Thank you to Mrs Haworth who
crowned Emily. Great appreciation
to Susan Duffy who made and gave
the May Queens regalia to replace
the former set that had a sad end.
Thank you to Christine and Muriel
who created the hoops and flower
baskets. Thank you to Brian and
Helen for giving and providing the
Hot Dogs and to six year old Jarrod
for the instructions on how to make
them.
Anyone who can solve the mystery
of the disappearing Maypole ribbons
will be tremendously thanked.

Memories of Finedon
By Charles Needle
Memories are often very precious,
especially the happy one, and can so
easily be lost.
Quite often my dear late wife Blanche
(nee Lawman) would come out with
some pithy little saying that no one
had ever heard before. Unfortunately
they were never recorded and as a
consequence have been lost forever.
I was born in Eadys Yard, Well
Street in 1913 and spent the first
34 years there, so I was able to gain
a large knowledge of the Yards and
Alleys of the old town.
With increasing age and having more
spare time my family eventually
persuaded me to write a book of
memories and I must say that I have
been surprised at what has come
back to my mind, sometimes as a
result of a simple remark or question.
For instance when I was recently
invited to speak at the local School to
a class of children, one child asked
“did you have toothpaste?” you will
find my answer in the book.
One must surely be amazed at the
pace of advancements in every
sphere of life particularly
communication that has taken place
in the last century
I am so grateful to the Lord that he
has given me the ability to use
modern day means and link it with my
memories so as to be able to produce
this book.

In My Day
The ramblings of Hubert James
In my day it was abut this time of year
that we cleared the air. No not that
sort of air clearing, I mean the real air.
You see in my day our houses all had
open fires. And open fires produce
smoke. All winter long a cloud of
smoke would hang over us, even
deep in the Shires. I’m guessing
some of you younger folk think
chimneys are just for decoration or
Santa Claus. In fact they were a
clever way of stopping folk choking to
death by taking the smoke up and
away. Mind you, I heard that they
have now been put on the
endangered species list.
Course Chimney Sweeps have been
on the list a lot longer. You see
without a Sweep to clear the soot left
behind by the smoke, you was
guaranteed to have a fire not only in
the grate but also in the chimney. And
once the chimney caught fire your
chimney breast would crack open with
the heat. Your Sweep was vital.
In my day we had 3 sweeps working
around Finedon. As you’ll know
traditionally the Sweep would use a
small child to shin up the chimney and
scrub out the soot. It was left to an
enterprising sweep by the name of
Richard Fantyke to invent the circular
brush on a pole. Dick’s wife was fed
up with having to wash her children’s
clothes and nagged him to come up
with an alternative. His prototype
used straw attached to some runner
bean sticks.
It worked and the local kids breathed
a sigh of relief which they rather
enjoyed because they had trouble
breathing anything and sighing had
been beyond them.
Gradually, though we needed less
Sweeps. Folk chose other ways of
heating their homes. Redundant
Sweeps turned to turning up at
weddings as good luck charms. See,
Sweeps was considered lucky. Shake
hands with a Sweep and celebrate
how lucky you was not to be one.
Mass sweeping came to a sad end in
the 1960’s when a Sweep called
Harry Corbett was due to do the
whole of Summerlee Road while folk
were away for factory fortnight. The
fool went and invited all his mates
around for a huge Sweep party. They
was dancing on the roofs and
stepping in time to the music. They
left a helluva mess, and Harry was
plastered from head to toe in black
dust. When the residents returned to
their filthy homes they took legal
action and Harry was ruined. He gave
up sweeping and took to the stage.
The ET ran the story under the
headline; Sooty Sweep Sued.

Rt Revd John Holbrook, Bishop of Brixworth writes
When Bishop John Flack and I were
introduced to Pope Francis in St
Peter's Square last month, his
opening words to us were; "Please
pray for me and I will pray for you".
One of the great joys of being one of
your bishops is the knowledge that
across the diocese you are praying
for me and it’s a great
encouragement. Indeed my former
bishop once confessed; “It’s only
your prayers that stop me falling
over!”
Such partnership in Christian living
was also reflected in Archbishop
Justin's enthronement. At the
Cathedral door he was asked; "Who
are you?" and answered; "I am
Justin, a servant of Jesus Christ, and
I come as one seeking the grace of
God, to travel with you in his service
together.”
One aspect of that serving together
for Pope Francis and Archbishop
Justin has been to join forces with
other world faith leaders in
addressing the evil of Human
Trafficking at a time when more
people are in slavery than in the
days of Wilberforce. The Anglican
Centre in Rome is playing a major
role in this initiative.
Another shared concern is the
Mission of the Church. Before his
Good News People
election Pope Francis
said; “The only
purpose of the Church
is to go out to tell the
world the good news
about Jesus Christ”
and he criticised the
Church for being “selfreferential”,
refusing to go beyond
itself and wanting to keep Jesus
within. He continued; “The Church is
supposed to be the mysterium lunae
– the mystery of the moon is that it
has no light but simply reflects the
light of the sun.” He concluded; “The
next Pope should be someone who
helps the Church surge forth to the
edges like a sweet and comforting
mother who offers the joy of Jesus to
the world.”
It seems that his fellow Cardinals
took him at his word and said;
“You’re the man!” If we find
ourselves resonating with his call, I
believe Christ would say to us;
“You’re the ones! Reflect my light
and offer my joy to world”. As Isaiah
discovered many centuries before,
our only response can be; “Here am
I, send me”.

Heritage Lottery Fund for Ancient Yews
The Heritage Lottery Fund is supporting
an ancient yew tree campaign being
launched this year. Ancient yews are
estimated to be at least 1000 years old
and veteran yews are between 500 and
1000 years.
The campaign will be managed by The
Conservation Foundation in association
with the Church of England - 217 of the
country’s 272 ancient yews are in
churchyards.
The campaign will include the distribution
of young yews to communities and
churches to celebrate the 800 th
anniversary of Magna Carta. The young
yews have been propagated from
veteran and ancient yews that were
growing at the time of Magna Carta. It is
thought the ancient yew at Ankerwycke,
near Runnymede was where King John,
his Barons and the Bishops gathered to
June events
witness Magna Carta There will also be
small grants available for local
community and school projects for
research around their ancient or veteran
yew. Funding is also available for work
on the trees, along with guidance on their
management.
A list of trees can be found on the
website: http://www.ancient-yew.org/.
The lovely village of Blakesley is opening
a wide variety of 10 gardens for you to
enjoy. Proceeds for upkeep of St Mary's.
Delicious homemade teas and plant stall.
