Page 12—Harby Newsletter, June 2013Gainsborough – Capital of EnglandHard to imagine now, but Gainsborough’s place in history wasdefined a thousand years ago this July when it was brieflythe capital of England. In 1003 Danish Prince Svein OttoHaraldsson began conquering territory in England, defeatingthe armies of the English King Ethelred ‘The Unready’ whofled the country in 1013. The Anglo-Saxon English nobilityacknowledged Svein as King and he established his highoffice and Capital of England at Gainsborough Castle, on thesite of the Old Hall, whilst his army encamped at ‘CastleHills’ at Thonock. So briefly, in late July 1013, Gainsboroughbecame the capital of England.Svein was popularly known as Tiugeskaeg, meaning ‘Forkbeard’ after his long cleft beard andthere’s a pub in Gainsborugh today called Sweyn Forkbeard. Despite his military successesand marvellous name, his reign was cut short as Svein was accidentally killed in February 1014when he was thrown from his horse. He was succeeded by his son King Canute who famouslytried to turn back the tide.Saturday Swap Coffee MorningA variety of unwanted items were brought forpeople to take away at the Saturday Swap.There was great interest in the book and DVDtable, with homewares, toys and gardeningequipment also being available.Newark and Sherwood District Council funded a visitfrom the Energy Efficiency Mobile Exhibition.The next Saturday Swap Coffee Morning will be onSat. 28 th September

Page 14—Harby Newsletter, June 2013GREETINGS FROM YOUR NEW RECTORI became Rector of the East Trent Group of Churches, which includes Harby and Wigsley, on 20 th April, and I’m verymuch enjoying the privilege of serving such a variety of communities. There needs to be a long time of discovery forme as I learn the needs of each and how to be the Parish Priest for each. And it is fun! In all the communities I servethere is an active parish church seeking to offer worship and to be present in the community for all to use. If you’dlike to see me please don’t hesitate to be in touch and I’ll be happy to arrange a time. Folk like me are used whenpeople want to share something with someone who is quite independent and yet who has an investment in theircommunity. Often they’re troubled with major things like illness or bereavement, or maybe they just want to sharesome happy news. I may have my house in Collingham but I’m still the parish priest for all the communities in theGroup, and that’s part of the learning I need to do.I’ve just come back from celebrating at Baptism in All Saints, Harby, and a very happy occasion it was, too. And verysoon I’ll be officiating there at a wedding for one of the teachers in the village school. How exciting. I’ll try to get anynews from the church shared widely, and I look forward to meeting many more people, though learning the namescan be very taxing.Very good wishesThe Revd David YabbacomeTel.
