One of the most ancient stories
in the Bible is the story of the
Tower of Babel. The story tells
of a time when all humanity
spoke a common language
and sought to build a tower into the
heavens. God saw the efforts of people
to become like gods and confused their
language, causing the building project
to be abandoned. The story stands as a
testimony to unbridled human ambition
and is a template for countless projects
of aggrandisement ever since.
Long before humanity took to the skies,
people have sought to build ever taller
and grander buildings. The ancient Israelites
in exile in Babylon would have seen the mighty Ziggurats towering
over the city unlike anything they had built back in their homeland.
The prophet Ezekiel prophesied against the prosperous port of Tyre
with its towers and walls dominating the trade routes of the Eastern
Mediterranean. And Jerusalem was no mean city, with the Psalmist
encouraging people to consider its walls, towers and ramparts.
Even in our own day where skyscrapers are ubiquitous and even
ruinous of our cityscapes we can still find our breath taken away by
the scale of architecture. We see this most clearly not in London
Docklands or Manhattan but in the small towns and cities of England
like Durham, Lincoln and Ely where a medieval Cathedral dominates
the land for miles around. Gargantuan buildings refl ect our priorities.
In a former age they demonstrated our faith in God. Possibly now
they demonstrate our reliance on international fi nance. In 500
years’ time will tourists be flocking to Canary Wharf or the Shard?
Somehow I doubt it.
The really significant things about buildings are of
course not what they look like but what the represent.
For the ancient Israelites the towers of Babylon were
symbols of oppression and conquest. For our
medieval ancestors the extraordinary cathedrals
told them of the majesty and glory of God. What
do our buildings tell us about ourselves? Are we
more drawn to the spires of churches than the
dizzy heights of skyscrapers, and what might that
mean for our priorities?

After the Second World
War and the resulting
bomb damage, there
was much discussion
as to which buildings of
special historical or architectural
interest should be conserved. The
Town and Country Planning Act of
1947 led to the drawing up of the
first list of ‘listed’ buildings in this
country. The older the building is,
the more likely it is to be listed.
All buildings built before 1700 are
automatically listed, as are most
built between 1700 and 1840. Any
property built 30 or more years
ago can be considered eligible.
The Department for Culture,
Media and Sport (DCMS)
has strict guidelines to which
applicants seeking possible
‘listing’ have to adhere, and
the criteria for being accepted
is complex. A building may be
considered if it’s of considerable
architectural interest, either
because of its design, its
decoration or its craftsmanship.
If a building is of special interest,
either because it’s an important
example of a particular building
type or design, and also if the
original plans are still available,
then it would be considered, too.
Any building having substantial
historical interest, such as a close
association with a nationally
important individual or revealing
important aspects of English
social, cultural, economic or
military history would be of
enormous interest to the DCMS.
Once an application has been
submitted, an internal inspection
of the property takes place. If
consent for listing approval is
granted, there is no charge.
However, there is a legal
requirement to preserve and
care for the building. Should the
successful applicant wish to make
any changes to the property, they
would have to make a request
to the Conservation Advisory
Committee and submit plans at
their own cost. The Conservation
Officer has the right to grant or
withhold permission if he or she
believes that any inappropriate
alterations would compromise
the status of the building. In
recent years there have been
reports in the media of people
making quite radical changes to
a listed property without seeking
permission. This is a criminal
offence, and they can been forced
to restore the building to its former
condition at their own expense.
Living in a listed home may sound
rather grand, but it certainly has
its responsibilities!
How many listed buildings
do you think there are
in Sheffield alone? A
dozen maybe, 25,
more than 50?
Actually there are
nearly 1,200! For
instance, there’s
the charcoal
burners’ memorial
in Ecclesall woods,
the Bear Pit in the
Botanical Gardens,
several mile posts
and sewer gas lamps
(whatever they are!) and
so on. Listed properties
don’t have to be houses or
buildings – any structure
which is of historical
importance and needs
conserving for the benefit
of posterity can be listed,
just as long as it has all the
necessary criteria.

Two artists who can be said to
have ‘painted the nation’ are
JMW Turner and John Constable.
Although contemporaries, they
were very different in character;
Turner being born in a ‘red light’ district
of London to a barber and wig-maker
father, and Constable into the family of
a land-owning corn merchant in Suffolk.
Turner never married (though he fathered
two daughters). Constable eventually
married the love of his life, although his
happiness was short lived as Maria died
of tuberculosis 12 years later, after the
birth of their seventh child.
Turner bequeathed many of his
paintings to the nation and they can be
seem in the National Gallery and the
Tate. In the north of England alone he
painted Fountain’s Abbey, Rievaux Abbey,
Scarborough Castle, Whitby Abbey and
many more. Perhaps his most famous
paintings in the south west of England are
of Salisbury Cathedral and Stonehenge.
Stonehenge is perhaps the strangest of
all his works – lightening rips through a
tortured sky and a shepherd lies dead, his
sheep killed, or scattered. The meaning
of this picture he leaves us to guess.
Constable’s painting of Stonehenge has a
double rainbow instead of lightening, but
is no less dramatic. A frightened hare runs
out of the picture, bottom left. This was
an afterthought. Painted on a separate
piece of paper, it was glued to the finished
watercolour – an early example of ‘cut
and paste’.
Turner reserves his rainbow for
Salisbury Cathedral, while Constable’s
most famous version is framed by Elm
trees. This picture was commissioned
by the Bishop of Salisbury who can be
seen with his wife, bottom left, admiring

Fountains Abbey and Scarborough Castle were painted by Turner
his cathedral. Turner excelled in painting
ancient ruins and great buildings
– famously painting the Houses of
Parliament while they burned, from a boat
on the river.
Constable preferred to paint the more
humble homes, farms and churches
of the countryside where he spent his
childhood. He also lovingly painted the
farm animals; sheep, cattle and horses.
In particular, he painted a dog, a little
nondescript dog with a curly tail and
fl oppy ears. In 1805, he skips from Willie
Lott’s House along the river bank –
Willie was a Suffolk farmer who lived his
whole 80 years in the same house. He is
present in all Constable’s most famous
paintings, including The Hay Wain, The
Cornfi eld and Flatford Mill. Old, thin and
shaggy, he is also present in Constable’s
last painting, Salisbury Cathedral From
The Meadows in which the artist reflects
on his past life. This picture is almost a
mirror image of The Hay Wain and there
are many elements of former pictures
in it. The White Horse and The Leaping
Horse from former pictures, help pull
the ‘wain’ (which here looks more like a
Roman chariot) past Willie Lott’s House,
now submerged in reeds and choked with
weeds, transplanted into Salisbury water
meadow. The cart is being pulled towards
the cathedral with its arching rainbow, but
the little dog looks wistfully back to ‘Willie
Lott’s House’.
The artist John Piper made Coventry
Cathedral famous when, in 1940, as the
official War Artist, he painted the still
smouldering ruins of the bombed ruins.
The pictures became iconic. Twenty years
later, he was commissioned to make the
Baptistry Window which now forms the
beating heart of the re-built cathedral. But
much closer to home, hardly three miles
from St Chad’s Church, Sheffi eld has its
own little gem of Piper’s stained glass. St
Mark’s Church, Broomhill was destroyed
in the Sheffi eld Blitz and Piper’s The
West Window of The Holy Spirit was
installed when it was re-built. Now, as
the westering sun strikes the glass, the
church is set ablaze with red, orange and
yellow tongues of fl ame which dance
upon the congregation, bidding them take
the light to the world.

A Vision for St Chad’s
I
am writing this in early
August. The building
works at the church have
been going on for a month
now and the place is a
mess. Outside on the drive is
a skip absolutely full of rubble
and detritus from the church.
The completion of the project,
scheduled for February 2017
still feels a very long way off. It
is a challenge to hold the vision
of the completed building when
the present situation is dust and
destruction.
But a vision there is, and it
is a vision that had driven the
tremendous generosity of the
church that enabled us to raise the
remarkable sum of £435,000. So
when the church is completed, what will
it enable us to do differently?
St Chad’s Church is just over 100
years old. Throughout its history it
has been altered and added to but
never with an overarching grand plan.
The result is a church building that is
dearly loved by those who worship but
which also has its quirks and is need of
considerable modernisation.
The most pressing need for the church
was to ensure that it was accessible
for all. We believe that God’s grace
and mercy are available to all and our
building needed to refl ect that. New
ramps inside and out will ensure that
the worship area and meeting rooms will
be accessible for those with impaired
mobility. New toilets are to be fi tted
within the body of the church, including a
disabled toilet.
Another need for the church was
fl exibility. Gone are the days when
a church building was only used for
Sunday morning worship. As well as
our two Sunday services (both of which
are very different in style) the building is
used by schools and for music concerts
as well as by a variety of church and
other groups. The building needed to
be able to accommodate these different
uses by increasing the number of
meeting areas, improving our kitchen
facilities and increasing the size of our
parish offi ce. A new mezzanine fl oor is
being built which we hope will provide
better space for our youth work.
But above all, the vision of St
Chad’s is to be a church that worships
and serves and the new building will
give us far more opportunities to do
this. I believe that the interior of the
church will look truly beautiful with the
font and war memorial relocated to
dedicated remembrance and initiation
spaces. There will be new lighting,
new carpets and better sight lines

intended to draw people into
worship of our loving God. And
the new kitchen and meeting
rooms will allow us to think
anew about how we can be a
church that is truly hospitable,
opening our building up for
the elderly, the vulnerable, the
lonely, the children and those
simply seeking space to pray
and refl ect.
I hope that once the project is fi nished
many more people will feel enticed and
invited into our building whether that
is on a Sunday to join us in worship or
throughout the week when the church will
be open to all.

Elephants
A
herd of elephant sculptures
descended on Sheffi eld’s parks
and open spaces this summer
to create one of the biggest art
events the city has ever seen.
The Wild in Art event brought to
Sheffi eld by The Children’s Hospital
Charity is raising vital funds for Sheffi eld
Children’s Hospital.
The interactive sculpture trail exists
due to the shared vision, creativity and
generosity of people across the city and
is a huge collaboration from our artists,
sponsors and school children – including
Abbey Lane and Meadowhead.
The trail has seen many people across
the city looking for the 130 elephants
using the Herd of Sheffi eld map and
phone app.
Rebecca Staden, fundraising manager
at The Children’s Hospital Charity
said: “We’re absolutely overwhelmed
by the support the Herd of Sheffi eld
has received. The project is bigger
and better than we could have ever
imagined and that’s thanks to the
generosity of the people from Sheffi eld
and further afi eld.
“It showcases our city and the
creative talent which exists today whilst
celebrating our heritage through this
world-class initiative.
“We’d like to say a big thank you to
everyone that has shared the herd
vision and helped bring this project to
life. Thanks to you we have created
something special for Sheffi eld and our
children’s hospital.”
The Herd of Sheffi eld all began 100
years ago. In 1916, on the cobbled
streets of Sheffi eld, an elephant called
Lizzie was employed in the steel industry
and inspired the herd we see today.

You’ll Never Forget!
Businesses, schools and
organisations were involved in the
project and sponsored each elephant.
Whilst the big herd grew, over 10,000
school children from across the region
helped create baby elephant calves.
The Little Herd was born by the 72
schools which decorated, stuck and
painted on their own elephant, raising
£46,000 for The Children’s Hospital
Charity at the same time.
The elephant calves were settled into
their summer homes in several indoor
locations around the city. Pictured
left at Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet is
Abbey Lane School’s elephant which
they named Elvis.
Throughout the First World War
the city’s horses were enrolled by the
military. Lizzie the elephant played an
important role as she helped cart heavy
loads of steel and machinery for Thomas
Ward Ltd in the absence of the horses.
The company’s scrap
metal business
was essential to
the country’s steel
industry, which was
crucial to the nation’s war
effort.
Lizzie became a legend
and was loved by many
of her colleagues and
she became part of the
family.
Sheffi eld’s herd of elephants 100
years later was born because of the
shared vision of Sheffi eld’s businesses,
communities, artists, individuals and
schools bringing each elephant to life.

When I left my fi rst
Sheffi eld job in
1990, my team
generously collected
a small amount and
bought me a gift. It was In memory
of Sheffi eld’s Cinemas by Richard
Ward. They knew I was interested
in cinema and it became a book I
still treasure.
Sheffi eld has housed over 70
cinemas since the early part of
the 20th century. Many of them
have been pulled down, some
became bingo halls and others
now exist as supermarkets. The
Abbeydale Picture House is still
being refurbished and is being run
by trustees. It shows occasional
fi lms. I recently went to see West
Side Story. It was like going to the
‘pictures’ in the 1950s!
one of the busiest picture
houses was the Woodseats
Palace. This building is still
standing on Chesterfi eld Road
and exists as a Wetherspoons
pub, situated opposite the police
station.
Like many others, this cinema
was built to serve the growing
population of Sheffi eld’s suburbs,
and it was opened on September
4, 1911, with a programme of
seven short fi lms including
The Wedding on Horseback
and The Latest Motor Fiend.
The building was designed
and built in a record 12
weeks. The façade, which
incorporated two small
shops, was in white glazed
earthenware and two small
domes gave it an oriental
appearance.
There were 500 seats
arranged in a single sloping
fl oor, those at the front
being tip-up benches with
more expensive velvet-lined seats
towards the back. The colour
scheme was pink and white. The
ornamental plasterwork was by
Chadwick and Son of Victoria
Street, who were responsible for
work on a number of other local
cinemas. The fi rst manager of
the Woodseats Palace was Tom
O’Neil and it was owned by the
Woodseats Palace Company.
In the 1920s the cinema
was taken over by Heeley and
Amalgamated Cinemas Ltd –
there were three other cinemas
in Heeley. Major alterations took
place and in the 1930s a Western
Electric sound system was fi tted,
and also a balcony.
The Star Group bought the
Palace in January 1955, and the
fi nal programme, Slaughter on
10th Avenue and Taming Sutton’s
Girl was screened on September
24, 1961. The building was then
reconstructed as a store.
Here’s a fi nal interesting fact.
A picture from 1916 shows that
the fi lm on offer is A Western
Heroine but a poster tells us that
also available were Wesleyan
Methodist Sunday Services.

People across the country
have been busy raising
money for Macmillan
Cancer Support over the
past month as part of the
World’s Biggest Coffee Morning
event.
Now, Katy Watt from St Chad’s
has come up with a crafty way of
honouring the work of Macmillan
with a fundraising quilt.
The idea is that people contribute
a square towards the quilt which,
when it is completed, will then be
raffled off. Each square can be
stitched, sewn, knitted
or embroided.
There are two rules:
your square must be
25cm x 25cm allowing
for a 5cm hem (each
finished square once
added to the quilt will
be roughly 20cm squared) and it
needs to have a bit of green in – it
is for MacMillan!
You also need to stitch in your
name.
Give your completed square to
Katy or send it to The McMillan
Quilt, 72 Cartmell Road,
Woodseats, Sheffield S8 0NJ,
along with a £1 donation.
For more information contact
Katy at katywatt1986@gmail.com
or on 07933 486015.
Squares are needed by October
20.

Sending a Christmas
G
Our summer holidays will soon
be forgotten as shops and
television begin to advertise
the latest “must-have” toys
and gadgets for us to buy for
Christmas. Children will be leaving
wish lists around hoping we
will take up their hints.
Sadly this doesn’t
happen for every child.
I am a volunteer
with Operation
Christmas Child,
the charity run by
Samaritan’s Purse
which sends fun-filled
shoeboxes to needy
children around the
world. We work with
local churches and
charities overseas to distribute
the shoeboxes to children regardless
of their background or beliefs asking
nothing in return. The children may
be in schools, hospitals, orphanages,
homeless shelters of impoverished
neighbourhoods.
Like many other people I have been
snapping up bargains such as books,
pens, pencils, crayons, dolls, cars, balls
ready to fill my brightly gift-wrapped
shoeboxes. I will also include soap, a
toothbrush and toothpaste and finally
a hat, scarf and gloves, a soft toy and
of course, some sweets as well as a
donation of £3 towards transport costs.
These seem like simple things which
we and our children take for granted but
these shoeboxes will probably be the
only Christmas gift these children will
receive.
I am one of hundreds of people, who,
either individually, through schools,
churches and other organisations,
give time and a few pounds to help the
Shoebox Appeal.
The shoeboxes from Sheffield,
Dronfield, Barnsley and Rotherham are
brought into a warehouse in Sheffield
so that volunteers can check them to
make sure there are
no unsuitable items
included such as toy
guns, liquids, or clothing
other than hats, gloves
and scarves. If the box is
a bit “light” we will top it up
with the items donated by
supporters for this purpose.
After being sealed for
customs purposes, the
shoeboxes are packed into
cartons by age and gender ready
for export. During late November and
early December these will loaded on
lorries to begin their journey. Last year
our warehouse received and processed
17,170 shoeboxes which went out to
Swaziland, Romania and Latvia.

Gift of Love
From October, leaflets will be
available and completed shoeboxes
can be dropped off at:
• Greenwood’s DIY, 14-16 Abbey
Lane, S8 0BL between 9am and 5pm
Monday to Saturday
• Eggo’s Café, 26 Hutcliffe Wood
Road, S8 0EX between 9am and
2.30pm Tuesday to Saturday and
9.30am and 2.30pm Sunday
• Our 9am and 11am Sunday
services in Abbey Lane School.
If you would like to know more about
this appeal, or want to come along to the
warehouse to help check boxes please
contact me on 0114 274 9218.
PLEASE consider filling a shoebox this
year – We can’t reach all the children
but through this simple gift, we can bring
excitement to some.

The Wise and Foolish Builders
What’s your foundation
for life? If someone
were to ask you
what your life
philosophy was,
what would you say? Most people
who I speak to say something
like, “I’ve always done my best,”
or “I’ve sought to live life by the
golden rule”.
There’s a fairly
famous story
that Jesus told
commenting on the
foundations of our
lives. Jesus compared
two builders. The wise
man builds his house
on a rock foundation.
the rain comes down,
the winds blow and the
fl oods are raised up,
but the house stands
fi rm because of its foundation.
The rock is solid and means that
the house stands fi rm. The foolish
man builds his house on the sand,
and when the rain comes and the
streams rise, the house falls with a
crash. The sand is washed away,
and the house falls fl at. It’s one of
Jesus most famous parables, at
least in part thanks to many of us
singing a catchy action song about
it in primary school!
Of course, hearing a story like
that, we all want to build our lives
on rock; on good foundations. So
what are the good foundations
that Jesus is talking about? Jesus
says it is to hear his words and to
put them into practice. So what
does it mean to put the words of
Jesus into practice? Sometimes
people are surprised when I
suggest that “I’ve done my best”
or the “golden rule” is not the
centre of Christian teaching about
the foundations for
life. But at the heart
of the message of
Christianity is not
that we have done
our best, but that we
recognise that we
haven’t done our best
and are in need of
God’s forgiveness.
to be a Christian
is not simply to do
one’s best; it is to be
forgiven because we
can’t live perfectly. And if we’re
truthful with ourselves, we know
that we don’t always do our best;
we never do.
So what’s your foundation?
Jesus says the only solid
foundation is to follow him.
Rev Duncan Bell
“We all want to
build our lives
on rock; on good
foundations.
So what are
the good
foundations that
Jesus is talking
about?”

Seriously Playing with L
Lego is for kids, right? Or
at least, adults that never
really grew out of their
toys?
The Lego Group begs to
differ. In the late ’90s and early
noughties the Danish familyowned
company faced a serious
problem – how do you compete
with video games, and other
high-tech toys when your core
product is a plastic brick with no
patent anymore? This is a tough
question.
They realised they needed
to think creatively – and in
partnering with well-respected
academics they used their core
product – Lego Bricks – to
facilitate creative workshops
around difficult to answer
questions. In one sense, the
fact that they used Lego didn’t
matter – it’s a medium through
A Lego Serious Play workshop
which you express ideas. The
sessions involve the participants making ‘double helix’ of DNA in order to help
models that embody their perspectives, them puzzle out its structure.

In a Lego Serious Play
workshop, the facilitator
should strive to create Flow
for all participants. This is
done in the preparation
(coming up with the
questions to guide the group
and ultimately something
innovative), but also with
interpersonal skills, and
managing the people in the
group.
Lego Serious Play has
been quite the success. The
Lego Group developed the
process, but then made it
open source. This means
that anyone can look at
the process and build on it.
There is also a certifi cation
process for facilitators to
ensure quality, but the
process is available for all to study and
apply to their situation.
I have used the process to help an
NHS community team develop a new
strategy; to help a group of people living
with Peripheral Neuropathy to come up

and engineers; help frame academic
research; and help medical technology

useful as adult’s play.

A Gathering Light
by Jennifer Donnelly
This book is a work of
fi ction cleverly intertwined
with the events of a real
story. It
is set in
North America in
the early 1900s
and charts the
transition from
late childhood to
early adulthood
of three friends.
Mattie Gorky
is the central
character. She is
a bright girl with
a strong desire
to learn but is
forced to take
responsibility
for her siblings
and help with
the running of
the farm after
the death of her
mother.
She eventually persuades her
father to allow her to work for
the summer at a hotel on Big
Moose Lake. Here she is given
a package of letters to burn by
Grace Brown which she fully
intends to do. When Grace is
found drowned in Big Moose Lake
the next day Mattie is puzzled
by centring events and begins to
read the letters.
As Grace’s story emerges it
causes mattie to review her own
hopes and dreams as well as her
relationships.
The story is
interwoven with
the social ethos
of the times; the
prejudice against
black Americans,
the expectations
of women to run
the home and the
lack of power they
have over their
own destinies and
dreams, as well as
the effects of the
class structure on
society.
the book is
beautifully written
and I found
it completely
engrossing.
the character
development is believable and
elicits an emotional response
in the reader. I really enjoyed
this book and would thoroughly
recommend it.

For Weddings
and Funerals
You don’t have to be a churchgoer
to have a wedding in church or
be ‘religious’ to have a dignifi ed and
meaningful funeral service at St Chad’s.
If you live in the Woodseats or
Beauchief area, St Chad’s would be
delighted to help you, whether it is
planning the Big Day or saying goodbye
to a loved one.
For weddings please contact St Chad’s
church offi ce. For funerals please tell
your funeral director that you would like
to have a church service.
• If you have had a new baby and would
like to celebrate that baby’s birth with
a service in church then please come
to one of our thanksgiving and baptism
mornings at St Chad’s.
The morning will explain the difference
between the two services and give
parents an opportunity to ask any
questions.
Please call the church offi ce on 0114
274 5086 if you are interested in
attending.
