weekends for a local garden centre, and then progressed over the
years. I’ve spent the last ten years running a team of 15 but now
we’ve downsized so we can specialise more in the design and

MAGAZINES
Welcome to the January 2025 edition of The
Eckington and Killamarsh Doorsteppa.
As we step into 2025, we’re filled with excitement
and anticipation for what the new year will bring
to our community. The beginning of a new year is
a time for fresh starts, reflection, and the shared
hope of growth and unity.
In this edition, we focus on a special group that
was founded by Jo-Anne Oldfield in memory of
her son, Mac. They hold coffee mornings on the
second Monday every month for parents to come
together and share their experience of loss, and
their strategies for coping. Turn to our Charity
section on page 14 for all the information.
We also take a look back at the passing of Sir
Winston Churchill which occurred on the 24th
January back in 1965. The details can be found in
our History section on page 32.
Let 2025 be a year of understanding and
progress. Here’s to a bright and hopeful year
ahead.
Happy New Year from all of us to you!

Tarotscopes
ARIES 21 March - 20 April
Rely on your natural intuition. If something doesn’t feel right; then it
isn’t. Your instincts are there to guide you; use them. Something leaves
you feeling tired and drained; for now persevere as the conclusion to
this chapter isn’t too far ahead. Give thought to, and prepare for, your
future. Capitalise on previous efforts made and plan to ensure you
have sufficient to be comfortable moving forward. Without being wholly
selfish; it’s you that’s important. Thought for 2025: Believe in your
dreams and have faith in positive outcomes.
TAURUS 21 April - 21 May
Potentially you’ve hit a glitch or two. Stay calm and carry on; this is not
meant to derail you and you can be assured that you will come through
this period; possibly older and wiser, but nevertheless, unscathed. Put
all emotion aside and rely purely on your head using logical, orderly,
clear water, thinking. Someone spiritually gifted lends a listening ear,
offers sound advice, and a good support system. They help you find
your equilibrium. Thought for 2025: Being purposeful and
energetic in your endeavours allows for success.
CANCER 22 June - 23 July
Feeling a bit isolated and alone? Being in the depths of winter this is
quite normal so don’t take anything personally. Instead allow yourself
time to review your world and give thought to how you’d like it to
evolve. Viewing situations from all angles give a better overview and,
of course, there’ll be things in the pipeline you’re not aware of as yet.
Be patient; life soon picks up speed with plenty to occupy you.
Thought for 2025: Have a goal in sight and work steadily
towards it.
LEO 24 July - 23 August
Time to raise a glass with friends and family alike! Just don’t get too
carried away though as an old argument resurfaces. This time you
really have to take charge and get things under control. This constant
going round in circles does no one any good whatsoever; least of all
you. Again, there’s the chance you’re being led up the garden path. If
something isn’t sitting quite right with you then listen to your instincts.
Thought for 2025: Whilst a little competition is healthy keep it
light hearted.
VIRGO 24 August - 23 September
The worst of the storm is behind you and, whilst nothing remains as it
was, you’re starting to be able to plot your future course with
confidence. There’s still the chance of the rug being pulled out from
under your feet in one scenario but it’s nothing to fear as what comes
next puts you in a much stronger position all round. Finances are
looking good and you’re able to help others on their journey. Thought
for 2025: Consider, carefully, all options opening up before
making any decisions.
LIBRA 24 September - 23 October
Steady as you go with finances. You don’t have to become a miser but
do give thought to swelling the coffers. Your direction may undergo a
change as a new opportunity arises. This is a huge thing for you and
you’d be wise to make the most of it; but do ensure you look where
you’re going as there are no guarantees on this journey. Keeping an
eye on others actions wouldn’t go amiss either! Thought for 2025:
Your inner strength and courage will see you overcome
challenges.
SCORPIO 24 October - 22 November
Someone kind offers a supportive, listening, ear; but that’s as much as
they can offer. The machinations of correcting a situation are down to
you and you alone. Your future security depends on your actions now
and you’d be wise to think carefully before acting. Listen to your
intuition; it will guide you well during this transitional phase. A new
future beckons and you’re about to discover some truths that make
sense of your history. Thought for 2025: Find where you truly
belong. A warm welcome awaits you.
GEMINI 22 May - 21 June
SAGITTARIUS 23 November - 21 December
Celebrations abound and it’s good to get together with family and The devil’s in the detail as, yet again, finances raise their head. Scrutiny

patience and you could feel like you’re wading through treacle; two gaps should be considered. Don’t hold yourself back; you’re more than
steps forward and one step back! It’s a minor irritation which will soon capable for any task set before you but you do need to unfetter yourself

give you the upper hand.
CAPRICORN 22 December - 20 January
Competition remains as you battle to have your say. Don’t be tempted
to hold yourself back; your thoughts, and input, are just as valid as the
next persons. Be cautious though! Choose your words, and actions,
carefully as a contented future will require all parties to work in
harmony. There’ll be a period, as the dust settles, when you won’t
know what to expect next, but be assured that a considerate attitude
now pays dividends. Thought for 2025: Step back occasionally and
let events unfold as they will.
AQUARIUS 21 January - 19 February
Make a decision regarding your future and stick to it. You can, and
should, make tweaks as necessary but know this is no time for
dithering. Balance of mind, body, and soul, are imperative and they
should be fed in equal measure for you to perform at your very best.
Enjoy the moments of contentment you’ll experience and don’t be
afraid to make wishes. There’s a good chance they’ll be granted at this
time. Fabulous! Thought for 2025: Sometimes there’s a need to
stand up and be counted.
PISCES 20 February - 20 March
Any doubts or fears you have in your mind need close scrutiny. Try
understanding the root cause of them. If it’s the prospect of defeat, or
being wrong about something, giving cause for concern; ask yourself
what’s the worst that can happen? It’ll be nothing like you’re imagining.
Previous investments of time, effort, and money are about to pay off
and you’re in a far better place than before. Actually, your future looks
quite rosy! Thought for 2025: Confidence, charm, and humour will
bring the outcomes you desire.

Charity
Healing Hearts: A Community
of Support for Bereaved Parents
On the 11 th day of the 11 th month, the firstever

Coffee Morning brought warmth and
connecon to grieving parents and
families. Held at The Sitwell Arms Hotel,
the gathering was inmate, with parents
coming together to share their experiences
of child and baby loss, and their strategies
for coping and feeling they aren’t alone.
This special group was founded by Jo-Anne

Mac’s passing, Jo-Anne has raised an
incredible £125,000 for charity in his

locks with their child’s name on as symbol
of love and memory that will last a
lifeme.
Jo-Anne explains, “Losing a child is
unimaginable, but having a space where
parents can talk openly and feel less alone
is so important. Mac’s Healing Hearts is
about bringing people together to find
comfort, strength, and healing.”
The mornings are
informal yet deeply
meaningful. Parents
and families are
invited to share
stories, sit quietly in
reflecon, or simply
connect over a cup
of coffee, as well as
discussing ideas
for further coffee

The Chesterfield Canal Is Heading Our Way
On Saturday the 8 th of February 2025 Killamarsh
Heritage Society welcome you to come along to a
joint event with Chesterfield Canal Trust when you
can find out about the plans for bringing the Canal
back into Killamarsh.
Work began to restore Chesterfield Canal in the late
1980s but plans to bring the historic canal back into
use haven’t been easy.
When HS2 announced their route would cross part
of the canal, negoaons had to take place to come
to an agreement allowing the canal to pass under
the railway and the Covid 19 Lockdown didn’t help
maers either.
But now things are moving apace and at the end of
October 2024 the new 38m (125 ) Trans-Pennine
Trail Bridge was lowered into place over the
Chesterfield Canal in Staveley.
And, of course, there are plans in place for the
Canal to come back through Killamarsh.
And with it, it's hoped new places to eat, water
sports, and boat hire will aract tourists and boost
the local economy.
So come along with your quesons to Killamarsh
Methodist Church on Saturday the 8 th of February
between 10.00 am and 3.00pm for a cuppa and a
chat.
We look forward to seeing you there.

Six Nations Rugby
A Legacy of Rivalries and Passion
The 2025 Six Naons Championship kicks off on
31st January, when France host Wales under the
Friday night lights in Paris.
It’s one of the oldest and most presgious rugby
tournaments in the world. It brings together
England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, France, and Italy
in an annual compeon that capvates fans with
fierce rivalries and thrilling matches.
The championship began as the Home Naons
Championship, contested between England,
Scotland, Wales, and Ireland. By 1910, France
joined the fray, transforming the compeon into
the Five Naons Championship.
Five became six in 2000 when Italy joined, marking
the birth of the Six Naons Championship as we
know it today. Despite inially struggling to
compete with the established rugby powers, Italy's
inclusion expanded the championship's reach and
added a new layer of intrigue.
Over their long history, first the Five Naons then
the Six Naons have delivered countless
unforgeable moments. One of the most
remarkable achievements came in 1973 when the
five naons finished ed, with each team winning
two matches. This extraordinary result
underscored the evenly matched nature of the
compeon and remains the only me the
tournament ended without a clear winner.
The Grand Slam - winning all matches in a single
tournament - is a rare and celebrated feat.
England’s 2003 campaign was especially
memorable, as they not only secured the Grand
Slam but also carried that momentum to win the
Rugby World Cup later that year. Led by captain
Marn Johnson and guided by Jonny Wilkinson's
legendary kicking, England demonstrated
unparalleled dominance.
Upsets have also defined the championships’
drama. In 1999, Scotland stunned England in the
final Five Naons match to deny them a Grand
Slam, with a superb kicking display from Sco
Hasngs. More recently, in 2007, Italy shocked
Scotland with an historic victory at Murrayfield,
cemenng their place as a compeve force in the
championship.
This season, Ireland head into the 2025
compeon looking for a third tle in a row.
They didn’t manage a clean sweep in 2024,
aer England beat them at Twickenham.
France have been their closest rivals in recent
years and – with superstar scrum-half Antoine
Dupont back from winning gold in the Olympic
rugby sevens – seem likely to be the biggest
threat to an Irish hat-trick.
Get ready for some thrills and possibly some
surprises. The Six Naons never fails to deliver.

History
Sir Winston Churchill's
Death in 1965
This month Killamarsh Heritage Society mark 60
years since the death of Sir Winston Churchill, who
died at his London home on the 24 th of January
1965 aged 90.
Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill (1874-1965)
is considered one of the greatest Brish prime
ministers of all me. Historians widely aribute
Churchill with being “the greatest statesman of the
20 th century.” He was an effecve leader and
statesman because of his tremendous ability to
inspire people; his unique strategic insight, his
relentless passion and his imperturbable
personality.
He died following a series of stokes, the last of
which occurred on the 15 th of January 1965. His
last words were to his son-in-law Christopher
Soames, “I’m so bored with it all”.
Sir Winston was given a state funeral at St Paul’s
Cathedral on the 30 th of January 1965, the first
state funeral of a polician in the century. The
funeral was broadcast live on the BBC and seen
around the world. It was the biggest naonal event
since the Coronaon of Elizabeth II in 1953.
The BBC posioned 36 cameras along the route of
the cortege went from Westminster Hall to St
Paul's Cathedral and then back along the river
from Tower Hill to the Fesval Hall. They recorded
the full ceremonial but also captured the
unexpected, such as the moment the dockside
cranes were lowered in salute. His body was then
transported by steam train to Bladon, where he
was buried alongside other members of the
Churchill family, at St Marn's Church, Bladon just
outside Blenheim Palace grounds. The funeral
procession was lined with crowds from
Westminster to St Paul's Cathedral. The
locomove on the train displayed three large
white discs in a "V" formaon, which represented
Churchill's famous "V" for Victory sign.
It was common royal equee for the Monarch to
not aend a funeral service outside of the royal
family. Queen Elizabeth II not only aended the
service but was among the first officials to arrive at
St Paul's, making her presence known even before
the coffin and Churchill family arrived.
Churchill is perhaps best known for his leadership
during World War II, when he opposed the
appeasement of Germany in the 1930s and
warned about the rise of Hitler and the Nazis. He
rallied the naon against Hitler, inspiring them to
“stand alone” against Germany. He is remembered
for his leadership through the Bale of Britain, the
Blitz and Dunkirk and he was known for his refusal
to give in, even when things were going badly.
He served as Conservave Prime Minister twice,
from 1940 to 1945 and from 1951 to 1955. He was
also a writer and orator and in a 2002 BBC poll was
voted the Greatest Britain. He was famous for his
speeches of which there are many, and I am sure
you can remember a few.
Sir Winston and Lady Clemenne Churchill were
married for 56 years and had five children, three of
whom survived to adulthood. The Union Flag
which was draped over Sir Winston Churchill’s
coffin during the funeral is on display in the
Churchill Museum at the Churchill War Rooms.
