From the Church Wardens
It was quite a shock to hear that Benthorne Lodge, the Care
Home in Finedon, had closed in August. Our prayers and
thoughts go out to all the residents that have been resettled
and to the staff who have lost their jobs. Also, thank you to
Jacqui MInchinton who over the past years has carried out
pastoral duties in the Care Home.
We welcome Fr Richard and David back into the fold after
their Sabbatical. We thank the Fr Stan and Fr Peter for taking
all the services whilst they were away. In addition our
appreciation goes to Kathryn Haworth for writing the
intercessions every Sunday for the readers during that time.
In August we sadly said ‘Goodbye’ to Alice and her family
who are leaving us but are very happy that she starts her
training as a Priest in September. Our prayers, thoughts and
good wishes go with Alice and her family as they start their
new life.
The 14th September is Holy Cross Day, the anniversary of the
dedication of our Church which is about 650 years old. This
is why the Flower Festival is held at this time of year to
celebrate the birthday of the church, on the nearest Sunday
to 14th September. We hope to see you all joining in the
celebrations, enjoying the displays and thanking God for his
goodness in the Eucharist.
Yours in Christ
Jane and Neil

Operation Churchyard
Over many years our Churchyard has
been cared for by a group of
volunteers.
Sadly, due to ill health and age the
volunteers have dwindled down to
Bryan Chapman and Graham White.
The Council mow the churchyard
approximately four times a year but it
needs a trim in between about once a
month depending on the weather.
Bryan tends the plot where the ashes
are interred. A very time consuming
job. Graham has adopted another
block of grass.
In order to maintain a well ordered
Churchyard we are asking for
volunteers to adopt a patch of grass
please.
There are about four blocks left. Lawn
mower provided. If you can help in
Operation Churchyard please speak
to Bryan Chapman for guidance.

She’s managed to get her car

an heirloom to Victoria’s husband’s
antique shop to pay the bill.
I was a bit confused by ‘heirloom’.
Harriet says it’s not that German artist
who lives next to the Town Hall.
Pat Peel thinks an heir loom is used
to weave hair into a rug.
Could be. Christine did used to have
lovely long hair.

Child’s Letter to God
Dear God
Instead of letting people die and
making new ones, why don’t you just
keep the ones you got now?

In My Day
the ramblings of Hubert James
In my day it was about this time of
year that ordinary folk like us got our
first telephone.
Now in my day, a telephone was a
sort of wedge shaped box with a big
handle and a dial on the front. You
plugged it into the wall and it let you
talk, live to other folk. And that was
about it. Marvellous!
Before then we had to use a public
phone box, mind you even they were
good fun. You’d put your money in
and press button A to speak or button
B to get your money back.
One of the things you could do with
your own phone was find out the
accurate time from the speaking
clock.
Not many folk know that one of the
first voices used for this was a parttime
actor called Gallahad Frey who
lived in Rock Street. Gally was a
proper character, he was always
telling folk that his life filled a space
and passed time. Nobody knew what
it meant but we all knew him as that
bloke Gally Frey who travelled in
space and time.
He used to get small speaking parts
on the wireless in plays and that.
Then he started announcing the
programmes. He had a voice as
smooth as chocolate and many young
girls fell for it.
So when they were looking for a new
voice for the speaking clock he
applied and got the job. Not only that
he suggested that instead of just
recording all the times he embellished
it a bit by saying “At the third stroke it
will be (whatever time it was)
precisely” . The powers that be loved
it. And he didn’t stop there, he
explained how at the BBC he also did
the Pips; beep, beep, beep, before
the hour. So he did the same thing for
the speaking clock.
His fans loved it. Although, some of
them took their obsession with him
even further. One of them was a club
singer called Virginia Reeves. Ginny
was one of the first ever stalkers. She
followed Gally around like a lap dog.
She rang him and wrote to him. She
rang the clock just to hear his voice
beeping. Gally resisted until one day
he picked up the phone and there she
was singing a song she had written
especially for him.
His heart melted and he agreed to go
on a date with her. And they hit it off.
He too was smitten. The two of them
went off into the sunset and for the
rest of their days he found himself
smiling every time he heard Ginny
Reeves sing those words; “Put your
sweet pips a little closer to the
phone…”

Government support for vulnerable church buildings welcomed
by Church of England
N
early 300 Church of England
parishes are to receive grants
for urgent repairs to their
church roofs in the second round of
awards from the Listed Places of
Worship Roof Repair Fund.
Ben Smith, Peterborough
Diocese Historic Churches
Support Officer said that there have
been substantially more grants
awarded this round for the
Peterborough Diocese than any
other diocese in the country. In
comparison, there were 6 grants
awarded in the Diocese of Leicester
and 8 in the Diocese of Lincoln.
“There have been 22 grants
awarded for churches in the
Peterborough Diocese, out of 44
applications. This means that exactly
50% of the total number of
applicants from the diocese were
successful, compared to a national
success rate of 26%.”
“In total, churches in the diocese of
Peterborough have received
£1,147,000 from this round of the
Roof Repair Fund. Five of the
successful churches were on the
Heritage at Risk Register, and these
grants should allow each of them to
carry out the repairs necessary to
take them off the register.”
Awards between £10,000 and
£100,000 have been offered towards
the urgent repair of roofs, gutters
and drains, failure of which is the
principal cause of decay in historic
churches. In total, 401 listed places
of worship will benefit from awards
from the £25 million funding
package given by the Treasury. This
follows the 501 awards announced
in the first round in Spring 2015.
Visiting St Philip & St James,
Hallow, construction of which was
partly funded originally by Lea &
Perrins, makers of Worcestershire
sauce, the Bishop of Worcester, Dr
John Inge, lead bishop for
cathedrals and church buildings
said: “These grants will be an
enormous help to church
communities who take care of some
of this country’s most precious built
heritage. It is very good that the
Government has
recognised that help is
needed.”
One of the churches to
benefit is St Mary & All
Saints, Fotheringhay, in
Northamptonshire, which
is currently on Historic
England’s Heritage at
Risk Register.
Fotheringhay is one of
England’s most
celebrated late Gothic
churches and has a
dramatic history. Richard
III was born and Mary

Gayton, St Mary
Queen of Scots
executed in the
neighbouring castle.
In the church itself
are memorials to
two Dukes of York
who were buried
here in the 1400s.
Part of the church
was
pulled down during
the Dissolution of
the Monasteries.
The church today
attracts more than
3,000 visitors a year
and various
community events
are hosted there. The parish applied,
unsuccessfully, for a grant in the first
round of the Roof Repair Fund. The
£100,000 grant will fund essential
works, enabling the parish to pursue
its vision of introducing improved
facilities for its visitors.
Sir Tony Baldry, Chair of the
Church Buildings Council, said: ‘It is
fantastic that almost 300 more
church buildings will receive
significant help with roof repairs from
the government and we are hugely
grateful to the Chancellor. We now
need to ensure a sustainable way of
funding church buildings in the future
and this is a question to which I hope
the government’s English Churches
and Cathedrals Sustainability Review
will find viable and deliverable
answers.’
The Fund, administered by the
National Heritage Memorial Fund
(NHMF) on behalf of the Department
for Culture, Media and Sport, was
announced by George Osborne in
the 2014 Autumn Statement and
subsequently extended for a second
round due to heavy oversubscription.
Overall, the Treasury has allocated
£55 million to the scheme.

Revd Canon Tim Alban Jones, Bishop’s Chaplain writes
S
eptember is a
time of new
beginnings –
one of many that we
find in the course of
the year. We all know
about the start of the
calendar year in
January (though the
new year used to
begin in March, hence
the Latin names for
September through to
December, meaning
seven, eight, nine and
ten; they do not really make much
sense when we start the counting in
January). We are also familiar with
the start of the tax year in April and
some of us will be accustomed to
the start of the church’s year in
Advent. The new beginning in
September is, of course, to do with
the academic year as schools and
other places of learning open their
doors once again after the long
summer holidays.
Across the country there will be
anxious and proud parents whose
children will be starting school for
the first time or moving up to a new
school. It is a big step and an
important milestone in any child’s
life. But the process of learning is
not confined to our schools, colleges
and universities, nor does it stop
when we leave those
places. Learning is something in
September
which we are
engaged throughout
our lives, even if not
in the formal setting
of school or college.
In our Christian
journey we are all
involved in the
business of learning.
Sometimes it may
be through formal
instruction, such as
in confirmation
classes, study
groups or sermons.
For some it will be through personal
study, reading the Bible and
reflecting.
Another area of Christian learning
is prayer. It is something that is best
done by experience; the more you
pray the better you will be at it. It is
the best way of aligning our wills
with God’s will. It gives us a chance
to reflect on what is happening in
our lives in the context of God’s plan
and care for each of us. All we need
is the desire to pray and some time
either alone or in groups. It is a
wonderful way of learning about
God and ourselves. It would be
impossible to commend it too highly.
And the thing about prayer is that
we can start afresh every day; we
do not need to wait for the start of
the new school year or even the
start of term. Every day can be a
new beginning with God.
