PEAKLAND LIVELIHOODS

Porcelain and potworks Items made from baked clay are all forms of pottery, whether as heavy as paving stones or as delicate and fragile as fine crockery. The potter’s art has been practiced since before the dawn of history, in nearly every corner of the world. Essential to the advance of civilization it depended on two simple factors – ample supplies of clay and fuel for firing. The Chinese assert that pottery-making was discovered around 2,700 BC by Emperor Hwang Tsi, who taught it to his people and thus earned a place amongst the Gods. According to Greek myth, the world’s first potter was Keramos – hence our word ceramic – son of the God Dionysus and Ariadne, daughter of King Minos of Crete.

Prehistoric production was known across Europe and ancient vessels of burnt clay have been found around the Peak District, particularly associated with the Bronze Age ‘Beaker Folk’ burials on Stanton Moor. Coarser types of pottery are generally described as earthenware, as opposed to the fine translucent porcelain. Many kinds of clay can be used for the former, burning to an opaque reddish brown. Clays need to be cleaned and purified before being shaped into vessels, either by ‘throwing’ on a wheel or by moulding. After being fired, i.e. kiln baked, some vessels have to be glazed to prevent porosity. The glazing on Roman pots found in kilns at Derby racecourse contains lead, probably mined in the Peak.

As thin as paper Commercial production of English pottery really got under way when the secret of manufacturing salt-glaze stoneware was discovered by John Dwight of Fulham in 1671. His raw material was a highly siliceous clay, fired at extremely high temperatures, the glaze produced by throwing salt into the kiln during firing. With the expiry of Dwight’s patent in 1698, many salt-glaze potworks sprang into business, several on the outskirts of the Peak including one at Crich. Other manufacturers set up at Chesterfield, Alfreton, Belper and Derby, providing a vast array of everyday items from cooking pots and storage jars to water filters, teapots, jugs and jelly moulds. Porcelain, on the other hand, was an expensive luxury. The secret of its raw material – kaolin, a fine white clay – was unknown in Europe until 1701, whereas China had been producing porcelain for well over a thousand years, jealously guarding the secret of its translucency. One 10thcentury emperor had demanded teacups ‘as blue as the sky, as clear as a mirror, as thin as paper, as resonant as a musical bell.’ By 1100, examples of exquisite Chinese ware had reached Europe, worth more than their weight in gold.

Derbyshire china The first true European porcelain was produced in Germany in the early 18th century. Then around 1755 ‘china clay’ was found in Cornwall, soon to be utilised at Plymouth and further afield. Although the geology of the Peak made it an unlikely source of suitable clays, this reference appears in ‘A View of the present state of Derbyshire’ (Pilkington, 1789): ‘ … porcelain clay of a most delicate white colour and a very fine texture [is got] from a lead mine at Brassington … what is gotten at present is sent to the potteries in Staffordshire.’ Also: ‘At Newhaven a very fine potters-clay may be had.’

PROVIDES CLEAN DRINKING WATER AND AID TO HAITI IN THE AFTERMATH OF HURRICANE MATTHEW Just days after Hurricane Matthew devastated Haiti, the humanitarian aid charity Aquabox, based in Wirksworth, Derbyshire, had swung into action. Working with two other UK-based Rotary charities, Aquabox airfreighted water filters capable of removing cholera and the vast majority of other water borne bacteria and viruses from 30 million litres of polluted water. The charity has also just sent a large container of water filters and other humanitarian aid including tools, materials to create shelters or repair roofs and essential first aid, hygiene and household items by sea to support families. These will be distributed in the worst affected areas by the Rotary Disaster Relief Team in Haiti. But with each consignment costing £80,000, the charity’s funds are running short to cope with the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew. Large parts of towns and villages have been flattened, crops destroyed and animals drowned. There is a shortage of food and cases of cholera are rising sharply, putting children at particular risk.

Mike Tomlinson, Chairman of Aquabox said: “We are really grateful to the people in the region for their overwhelming response to our appeal. We have had many donations of money, aid items for the boxes and baby and childrens’ clothes, but we urgently need more if we are to continue to provide support to affected families during this critical period. “If you can, please donate through our web site (www.aquabox.org) or text AQBX01 to 70070.

We've all been there. Watching the little angels (and the little devils) as innkeeper, shepherds, kings and the Holy Family. So Calendar Girls playwright Tim Firth is onto a winner straightaway. His canny look at the behind-the-scenes angst involved in putting on a primary school Nativity play goes straight to the heart of the matter – who's playing the blue-robed Virgin Mary? In this case, it's the goody-goody daughter of the chair of the PTA. While the boys seem happy enough to be relegated to playing such bit parts as "the Star of Bethlehem" or a cardboard-headed "Ass", the girls are already sharpening their talons as well as their acting talents. And when chickenpox threatens to eliminate Mary, bossy Angel Gabriel just knows that there is a God. Although we learn little of the Christian message of redemption in this funny – yet poignant – play, we do discover that the Holy Infant doubles as an extremely effective cudgel! There’s a clever twist in that all the children are

children and parents sing whatever is uppermost in their minds. (Please note that while this is a play about children, because of a bit of naughty behaviour and some rude words we are billing it as “a comedy for grownups”.) Performances are at Hope Methodist Hall, Edale Road from Wed 7th to Sat 10th December. Tickets (£8.00 including refreshments) are available from Watson’s Farm Shop or ring producer Carolyn Garwes on 01433 620 665 for telephone bookings or further information.

On Thursday 27 October local cycling group, the White Peak Sustrans Volunteer Rangers, led by local cyclist Clyde Hinton, together with Matlock in Bloom members, planted bulbs by the side of a 600metre long multi-user path in Matlock. The path was laid down early last year alongside the A6, from Sainsbury’s roundabout to Arc Leisure, by Derbyshire County Council and many of the bulbs already there did not survive the trauma. Clyde said: 'This was a first shot at replacing them and we are looking forward to the dazzling floral display next spring'. The path already gets good use by cyclists, pedestrians, dog-walkers and wheelchairs and it is expected that it will link to the nearly-completed multi-user path which will run alongside the railway from Matlock to Rowsley. The White Peak Rangers will be running a programme of led cycle rides for the public in the Peak District in 2017 which they hope to be advertising in the near future. Keep an eye out for these rides!

LILY FOUNDATION

XMAS BASH

Chloe, 5 and Macie, 2 from Alfreton both suffer with Mitochondrial Disease. This disease affects the energy cells in our bodies (the mitochondria), these cells provide the power for our bodies to function. When they are damaged they can cause problems with our organs and other things as these need more energy to power them. Every child with this disease has different symptoms ranging from neurological issues to hearing losses. Mitochondrial disease is a progressive and a life limiting disease. Chloe and Macie’s family are holding an event to raise some well needed money to send to the Lily Foundation, so it can be passed onto their charity which helps support families with people with Mitochondrial Disease and to the research centres that are working hard to learn more about this disease. The event is on the 26th November at Dukes Barn, School Lane, Beeley, DE4 2NU. 1-5pm. There will be fun stalls for the kids, Santa visit, tombola, raffle, golden carrot, bric-a-brac, tinsel pull, tea, coffee and cakes stall and lots more. For more info. 01629 733116 or 07745 535497.

ROTARY BAKEWELL

Last week was the annual fun quiz night organised by Rotary Bakewell at the Medway Centre in Bakewell. Fifteen teams entered the quiz. The quizmaster John Kelcey and his wife Sue tested our memories, music and gardening knowledge. Rotary clubs from Hope Valley, Matlock and Wirksworth supported the event and along with many guests enjoyed a buffet supper provided by the Bakewell Rotarians and partners. Proceeds from the quiz night are to be sent to ‘Mary’s Meals’ a charity which started in 2002 and

today feeds over a million children every school day across four continents. It costs just £12.20 to feed a child for a whole school

entitled “A year in the life of a shepherdess on a Peak District hill farm”. She took us through the annual cycle of raising a crop of the sheep who live out on our local hills for most of the year. To produce lambs in Spring the ewes have to be inlamb from November through the worst of the winter. They are remarkably hardy but

some extra food and water taken out to the fields can be a life saver, although extremely hard work when there has been a snowfall. It was good to hear how the hill farmers help each other but disturbing to learn of the damage caused to walls, gates, and sheep by thoughtless visitors and their dogs. Kath always has her camera with her, which means she has some breath-taking illustrations for her talk. We all enjoyed a truly memorable hour. Our next meeting is at the Memorial Hall, Hathersage, on November 17th and will be “The Play’s the Thing” given by teacher and thespian, Peter Miles. Beware there could be audience participation!

LOCAL SOLDIER EXERCISES WITH HER CANINE PARTNER

Private Heidi Kearsey (24), from Grindleford, a dog handler serving with 1st Military Working Dogs Regiment (1MWD Regt), has recently completed an intensive training exercise in Sennelager, Germany. The Hope Valley soldier said after completing a dawn attack on an enemy position: “After clearing the compounds of the enemy we then provided a safety cordon for the specialist teams to enter and search for any explosives and IED’s. The attack went smoothly and to plan. Although I was not undertaking a dog handling role it is still important to maintain my

soldiering skills so I can provide effective support to the Regiment.” As well as being thoroughly tested on her ability to conduct patrols, understand tactics and section attacks, Heidi and her colleagues also undertook a series of training patrols with their dogs in both rural and urban environments, as Heidi explained: “It’s all about developing our relationship with our dogs

by working closely together.

It is a very unique role we have in the Army as doghandlers and a key part of our training is developing a bond with our dogs. I am a protection dog handler working with Harry, a Belgium Shepherd, and in the 5 months we have worked together we have built up a really good level of trust, he is a very loyal and hardworking dog. It’s a pretty cool job really.” During the exercise Heidi also provided mentoring to an Army Reservist who was on the exercise: “It was great being able to pass on my knowledge particularly on the dog handling side of things. It cements your own knowledge and something I really enjoyed doing.” With the 1MWD Regt always looking to recruit new personnel, the appeal of the Regiment was obvious for Commanding Officer of 1MWD Regt, Lieutenant Colonel Stephen Foreman: “Why would you not want to work with animals, you get to do all the Army elements in a unique and interesting area. It is a niche capability that deploys both our regular and reserve soldiers to all areas of the world on different Operations and Exercises, providing security and safety.”

It could be that the Brassington source was linked to a china works at Wirksworth in the 1770s, involving several wealthy partners including Philip Gell, owner of the town’s Manor House. Surviving documents indicate the variety of wares manufactured, not least bowls, cream jugs, teapots, sauceboats, perfume jars, egg jars, pepper boxes and mustard pots. Ornamental items are listed in an invoice of 18 August 1773: ‘to Modelling – a flower Pott 1.17.6 Ditto – a Sfinks jar 3. 3. 0 Ditto – a Beaker 1.11.6 Ditto – two Dogs 0.11.6 Other invoices refer to pedestals ornamented with rams’ heads, also flower jars decorated with animal heads and horns, or with women’s faces. Dispersal sale Josiah Wedgewood made an interesting entry in his Common Place Book of

1775: ‘A China work – lately begun at Wirksworth – by Mr. Gell of Hopton, who has lately made some use of a fine white Clay, found near Brassington in Derbyshire, first in an estate of Mr. Haynes of Ashburn, and afterwards in other adjoining lands … so uncertain, & in such small quantities, as to be worth £10 per ton raising.’ If the Wirksworth factory depended upon these sparse supplies, it is not surprising that production was shortlived. An advertisement in the Derby Mercury of May 1777 announced: ‘To be sold … On Wednesday the 28th day of this present month of May A great number of elegant Plaister Moulds for Tureens, Plates, Dishes, Sauce boats in Sets, Tea Services … a few very fine large Figures, Vases, Urns, Lamps exquisitely moulded; Throwing Wheels, lathes … A quantity of Zaffer, Borax Red Lead, Lynn Sand, Whiting Umber & Salts …’

Six months after the dispersal sale, the buildings, warehouses and workshops ‘heretofore used for the making and manufacture of China ware’ were leased to Richard Arkwright of Cromford. The site off St Mary’s Gate in Wirksworth is still known as China Yard and although pieces of ‘Wirksworth China’ have been handed down in local families, the absence of a maker’s mark makes it difficult to attribute them with certainty. Nevertheless, Wirksworth Heritage Centre on St John Street is fortunate in having material connected to the local china f a c t o r y .

This is always a welcome opportunity to meet old friends and the meal was very good but those present were especially delighted to meet a couple of students from the current era. Malcolm Kelly, head teacher, brought along two of his star 6th form students who entertained their audience with accounts of school life now and their experiences here and abroad.

YOULGRAVE, ALL SAINTSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; C OF E EXTENDS THE SCHOOL DAY AND PROVIDES 'NURTURE' PROGRAMME

Breakfast and After School Care helps working families If you need flexible before and after school care for your child then Youlgrave, All Saintsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; C of E Primary School near Bakewell could be the school for you. Along with all that the school has to offer, including small class sizes and an extensive nurture programme, children can come to Breakfast club from 8am and now stay until 5.30pm with our new After School Care arrangements. In September many of the new families joining our delightful village school told us that they needed after school care; so we have pulled out all the stops to get this in place. We know this will make a big difference to working parents or to anyone that occasionally needs those extra few hours, especially for Christmas shopping! Sporting News New PE Apprentice, Harry Frost, has brought some exciting developments in sports achievements this term, both during and outside the school day. At a recent football tournament with other local schools, Youlgrave 'A' team won the small schools competition and the 'B' team were very proud to receive the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Respect Awardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; across the whole competition! ('A' and 'B' teams pictured with Harry Foster and trophies). There was also an excellent performance by crosscountry runners from Years 3, 4, 5 and 6, at a recent event; with three children going on to compete at County level. Harry will be coaching children in a range of sporting skills over the coming year both during P.E. lessons and at after-school clubs.

Dedicated Music and Nurture Rooms are a wonderful addition to the school Following an extensive refurbishment completed over the summer, the school now has a dedicated music room where children have piano, violin and guitar lessons. Music provision across the school has also been enhanced by the recent appointment of Music Teacher Miss Bower; who takes the after school â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Choirâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

club as well as teaching music throughout the school. Â Another fantastic addition to our school is the specially designed â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Nurtureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; room, where children are given time to talk about their feelings in either one-toone, group or family sessions. These sessions with an especially trained member of staff, help to develop a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to express worries or anxieties, learn how to manage their

own behaviour and practise skills such as concentration, turn-taking and listening. We have had some great feedback from parents and are very proud of this additional resource that is available to all our children. The deadline for your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s application for a primary school place is 15th January 2017. If you would like to look round the school and meet our friendly team, please contact the school office on 01629 636289.

to help raise more money for BBC Children in Need. It really does make such a difference.” Alex Jones added: “If I could give Team Rickshaw one piece of advice it would be to make the most of this remarkable experience. It won’t be an easy journey, but the difference that the fundraising makes to other young lives will be completely worth it. Last year we were amazed by the outpouring of support from people across the UK who gave to the challenge. We hope everyone will get behind these inspiring youngsters once more and push the team on to another successful year!” Since 2011, The One Show Rickshaw Challenge has raised funds for BBC Children in Need, with each and every penny going on to support disadvantaged belief was low from having cancer. Being around other youngsters his age who were also in recovery from illness helped him open up about his experiences. What’s more, the challenge of working on the boat allowed him to feel physically capable again. Speaking of his involvement Andy said: “I have been in remission for almost four years now and I know I’m here today thanks to the efforts of so many people. It’s been a tough journey, and there were times when I felt afraid and alone, but I’ve never felt stronger or more ready to give back. That’s why I’m taking on the Rickshaw Challenge – I want to help other young people who are ill or in recovery to know that they are not alone.” To date the Challenge has raised more than £12million and in keeping with tradition, the young riders will not only test their pedal power, but also their mettle, as they deliver speeches to a live audience explaining their motivations for taking on the challenge this year. The team hopes their efforts will not only help them raise money, but awareness of the real difference being made to disadvantaged children and young people’s lives across the UK thanks to BBC Children in Need. This year the rickshaw will be pedalled by five other young riders, all of whom have been supported by BBC Children in Need funded projects. Speaking of this year’s challenge Matt Baker said: “Every year I am inspired by the incredible young people who take on the Rickshaw

THE PEAK PUZZLE

Heating peace of mind with your local

From Friday 11th November the young riders will work their way down Britain’s East Coast in a bid to cross the finish line on Friday 18th November, in time for the BBC Children in Need Appeal Show. At age 13 Andy was diagnosed with an aggressive blood cancer, acute myeloid leukaemia. The typically sporty teen fell ill just short of starting year nine, when a series of painful tests revealed the devastating news. After four rounds of chemotherapy that left him nauseous and desperately ill, Andy underwent a bone marrow transplant to reduce the chances of cancer returning. The treatments drained him both physically and mentally, and often forced him to spend weeks in isolation due to his compromised immune system. As a result his confidence suffered, but the The Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust stepped in and helped change that. The Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust brings together young people who are in recovery from cancer and gives them the opportunity to take part in a residential sailing trip to reduce their isolation and build a support network. The charity is a lifeline, giving young people who have been forced to take time out of school, work, or college to undergo treatment, an opportunity to forget about their condition and focus on something positive with others who share their experiences. Recently the group secured new funding from BBC Children in Need and subsequently pledged to run activities that improve wellbeing and self-esteem. Andy’s first sailing trip came at a time when his self-

The One Show’s Rickshaw Challenge is back, with a new team of riders and route across Britain’s East Coast revealed recently on the show. This year’s team includes 18-year-old Andy from Chesterfield, who has been selected for the challenge following his involvement with The Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust, a charity supported by BBC Children in Need funding. Now in its sixth year, this year’s Rickshaw team will cover a 470-mile journey from the Scottish Border town of Jedburgh to central London, all to raise money for BBC Children in Need. Along the way, BBC’s The One Show presenter Matt Baker will be on the road cycling alongside the team offering support and advice, whilst Alex Jones will be following their every move, cheering them on, live from studio.

Children in Hartington have jumped into a sponsored swim, to raise vital funds for people with heart failure. Pupils from Hartington C of E Primary School and members of the Hartington Young Persons Activity Club (HYPAC) swam to success at Arc Leisure in Matlock on Saturday 15th October. It's the sixth time that youngsters have taken part in the annual event, aimed at raising cash for the British Heart Foundation's (BHF) Mending Broken Hearts appeal. The swim is organised by Hartington resident, John Dean, who is chairman of the charity's Ashbourne fundraising branch. John, who is also a foundation member of the village school's governors, said: "Two things stand out this year; the large number

of swimmers, helpers and spectators who told me what an enjoyable time they’d had, and the thousands of pounds pledged for BHF’s Mending Broken Hearts Appeal. Well done to all concerned!”

Sophie Parkins, Area Fundraising Manager for the British Heart Foundation in the East Midlands, said: “Once again the sponsored swim has been a huge success, and we are so very grateful for the

support from Hartington young people. Special

BY NICOLA ROSE

ALCOHOL AND WEIGHT MANAGEMENT It’s now approaching the build up to Christmas and at this time of year people may consume more alcohol than usual due to festive celebrations. The NHS updated guidelines for a l c o h o l consumption in January 2016, recommending that to keep health risks from drinking alcohol to a low level, both men and women are safest not to regularly drink more than 14 units per week. 14 units is equivalent to a bottle and a half of wine or 5 pints of 5% lager. Regularly drinking more than the NHS recommends can have a noticeable impact on waistlines as well as causing less obvious but more serious health problems. Many women don’t realise that two large glasses of wine not only puts them over the recommended daily limit for regular alcohol consumption, but also provides them with nearly 20% of their recommended daily calorie intake, at approximately 370 calories in total. Did you know a standard glass of wine can contain as many calories as a small bar of chocolate, and a pint of lager has about the same calorie count as a packet of crisps? The average wine drinker in England takes in around 2,000 calories from alcohol every month. Drinking five pints of lager a week adds up to 44,200 calories over a year, equivalent to eating 221

doughnuts. Many drinkers add to their calorie count by having fatty snacks such as crisps, nuts or pork scratchings, to accompany their tipple. A heavy drinking session is often followed by an unhealthy breakfast to help cope with a hangover, which again helps to pile on the pounds. Going for a fry-up instead of your usual bowl of cereal/toast can add an extra 450 calories to the calorie count from the night before. Most people would baulk at consuming a full glass of single cream, but wouldn’t think twice about the calorie content of a couple of pints. However, the calorie content is similar and over time, excess alcohol intake can easily contribute to gaining weight. Wine, beer, cider, spirits and all our favourite drinks are made from natural starch and sugar. Fermentation, and distillation for certain drinks, uses yeast to breakdown a starch or sugar into alcohol. This helps explain why alcohol contains lots of

calories – 7 calories per gram, almost as many as a gram of fat (which is 9 calories per gram). Additional calories can also be present in added mixer drinks. How many calories are in your drink? A large 250ml glass of wine contains around 165 calories, equivalent to a packet of crisps; a pint of standard strength 5% beer has 187 calories, the same as a crunchie bar; 1 mince pie has 163 calories, the same as a small 50ml (17%) glass of cream liqueur; you could consume 2 chocolate chip cookies 112 calories, for a double measure (50ml) of whisky, and a standard bottle of alcopops has the same calories, 237, as a jam doughnut. Tips to avoid weight gain when drinking •Aim not to regularly drink more than 14 units per week. As an indication, a pint of lager (ABV 5.2%) and a 250ml glass of wine (ABV 12%) both contain 3 units of alcohol. •Alternate an alcoholic drink with a glass of water

or a low calorie soft drink – this will help to prevent you b e c o m i n g dehydrated. •Don’t drink on an empty stomach. If you do reach for snacks while drinking, opt for a healthier option – e.g. a sandwich instead of crisps /chips/kebabs. •Drinking in rounds can mean you end up drinking more than you intended. Opt out and drink at your own pace. •Try cutting down with a friend, as you’ll be more likely to stick to it with moral support. •Eat a healthier dinner before you start drinking. Order or cook before you start drinking so you’re not tempted to go for the less healthy options. •Pace yourself by taking small sips. •Try to have at least 2 alcohol free days per week. •Avoid ‘binge drinking’ – some people are under the misapprehension that they can ‘save up’ their units to splurge at the weekend. •If you’re drinking white wine, why not add a splash of soda water or ice to help the same number of units last longer?

BURBAGE PRIMARY SCHOOL ARE CELEBRATING DOUBLE SPORTING SUCCESS THIS MONTH!

The school football team recently won the Buxton inter-schools tournament and subsequently won the High Peak tournament in Glossop. The team are now eagerly awaiting a trip t o Chesterfield to play in the Derbyshire County finals. In midOctober, the school cross country squad had a resounding victory at the Buxton schools’ annual event. Burbage finished a clear 31 points ahead of the competition. Chris Hill, the school’s Sports Coach was delighted with the achievement which coincides with the new ‘Daily Mile’ initiative which involves children being invited to complete a mile-long route every day on the school site. Headteacher, Anthony Tierney said, ‘We are very proud of our children’s sporting achievements and it is lovely that their hard work and commitment has been rewarded with these successes.’

October was a busy month with visits to the National Arboretum, a jazz afternoon at Carsington and a walk around Cromford.

Then we all had a go at creating a hedgehog from a paperback book. The competition for My Childhood Story Book was won by Yvonne with “The Land of Nursery Rhyme” which she has had since the age of seven. During November there will be a knit and natter at Margaret’s and a travel afternoon at Christine’s continuing the story of her visit to Canada. The Christmas lunch will be at Alison House, Cromford.

REFUGEE AND ASYLUM SEEKERS’ DAY TRIP TO BAKEWELL There was a visit of a group from the Sheffield Fusion Project on Saturday October 8th at the invitation of the Association of Bakewell Christians’ (ABC) hospitality group. The group consisted of women and children originating from Iran, the Ukraine, Nepal, India and Indonesia. The ABC provided transport. The hospitality committee organised activities and provided a delicious lunch of many home-made vegetarian dishes, and a sandwich and cake tea. The day was hosted by members of the Bakewell Quaker Meeting and All Saints Church. Craft activities for all ages, and games for the children took place at the Quaker Meeting House and lunch was served in the café at All Saints. One of the hosts said: “Our visitors particularly liked the food we provided and really appreciated the fact that it was home cooked”. The ABC is involved in raising awareness of the issues relating to migration and has a group helping to teach English on a regular basis in Sheffield and an Advocacy group which is involved in publicising the moral issues at local and national levels. Further information can be obtained from the ABC Co-ordinator of the project: David Clark (david@clark58.eclipse.co.uk)

Carol Service in Bakewell Parish Church 12 o’clock 21st December

Recent events organized by Bakewell and District Historical Society have ranged across a wide span of historical subjects, from early archaeology to events of the 18th and 19th centuries. Archaeologist Clive Hart has spent 10 years studying evidence of early Derbyshire villages. He gave a most interesting illustrated talk on his discoveries of village settlements, mainly in Derbyshire. Photographs taken from high ground and aerial photos clearly indicate the site of buildings, walls, boundaries and trackways. Famous 17th-century diarist Samuel Pepys (aka Stephen Coates) visited the Old House Museum one evening to entertain a goodly crowd of visitors in the museum parlour. After a hot supper we settled down to hear Pepys read from his diaries. As well as slightly saucy details about his private life we heard about his successful career in the Admiralty, followed by graphic descriptions of the Plague and the Great Fire of London. With Jan Stetka we moved into the 19th century when Biddulph Grange Garden was the vision of

James Bateman (1811 – 1897). He and his wife designed and developed the garden, aided by their artist friend Edward William Cooke. Bateman spent 20 years collecting plants from all over the world. Plants and trees were brought

together at Biddulph amid rocks, topiary, tree stumps and an eclectic collection of garden buildings designed by Bateman and Cooke. The garden was compartmentalized, each part having a different theme, including a dahlia

walk (see photo), a pinetum, China, Egypt, an arboretum and a cherry orchard. The National Trust, who restored the garden after Bateman’s death, described it as ‘the best existing Victorian garden’. It has been compared to the Great

Exhibition of 1851 with design features from the Exhibition being found in its sculptures. The Society has one more meeting this year, when food historian Dr. Mark Dawson will be talking about the oatcake. The Old House

Museum closes to visitors for the winter on 5th November, re-opening on 5th March 2017. www.oldhousemuseum.org. uk or phone Jan Stetka 01629 812737, or the Museum 01629 813626 for information.

BARRY RECEIVES AWARD FOR NHS VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR IN DERBYSHIRE

Peak District hospital volunteer Barry Lane has been presented with an award as Volunteer of the Year 2016 in awards run by Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS Foundation Trust. Barry, aged 76, from Bradwell village, has helped out at Newholme Hospital, Bakewell, for nearly 12 years, and he continues to give up two days a week to help at the hospital’s Stanton day unit. Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS Foundation Trust chairman Prem Singh and governor Brenda Greaves presented Barry with his Volunteer of the Year, Extra Mile Award 2016 trophy at Newholme Hospital this week. Modest Barry has won the hearts of patients and families as well as the gratitude of staff for the

The above held its Annual Harvest Festival Service on Tuesday, November 4th at the Bakewell Town Hall. It was attended by members, helpers and friends. The service was conducted by the Rev. Sue Bamping from Taddington.

fantastic support he provides. Barry said: “I love

coming here and I’ve met so many people through

volunteering here. I just like to be able to help out.”

Newholme Hospital’s Stanton day unit cares for elderly patients with mental health problems. Barry is often the welcoming face patients and families first see when they come to the unit, ready with a smile and offer of a hot drink. He is good at lifting spirits, and offering reassurance, if people are feeling unsure. He is also very involved in activities for patients. Occupational therapy team leader Paul Barrass nominated Barry for his “dedication and unfailing cheerful help.” Trust chairman Prem Singh said: “We are absolutely indebted to our NHS volunteers and very privileged to have their fantastic support. It’s an honour to present Barry with this award in recognition of his dedicated volunteering support over many years.”

She created a game built around the word HARVEST with the help of seven members of the club. Although there was no musical accompaniment the members sang the well known harvest hymns with great gusto. The usual fantastic tea was served by committee members to the great appreciation of members. An auction of the superb display of harvest goods was carried out by ‘rookie’ auctioneer Harold

Thompson assisted by Chairman Sandra Bramall. Harold received a resounding applause for his gallant efforts. As usual the indefatigable Diane

Edwards, apart from collecting admission money, organised the raffle. Winners were Mesdames S. Bamping, G. Edwards, P. Orton, J. Roome, D. Edwards and J.A. Twigg and

Messrs L. Twigg and B. Gray. Raffle ticket sales and auction receipts totalled £82.60. On a very happy note the club welcomed a new member, Glenis Weldon.

Going the extra mile – Barry Lane (centre) receives his Derbyshire NHS Volunteer of the Year Award at Newholme Hospital, Bakewell, from chairman Prem Singh and governor Brenda Greaves from Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS Foundation Trust

‘A BIT SKETCHY’

This December, local theatre group Interesting Theatre Company will be performing their brand new comedy revue 'A Bit Sketchy’. They bill it as ‘a review, with comedy, that tours (a bit)’. There'll be a variety of classic, well-loved sketches alongside some new, original material written by the company. Plus there’ll be live music from the award winning, up and coming jazz and soul singer, Roisin Meleady. “If you like Monty Python or The Two Ronnies or any of the classic sketch shows, you’ll like this,” said Interesting Theatre Company Artistic Director, Andrew Dennis. "After our hugely successful production 'A Servant to Two Masters' in July, we thought we'd try something a little different and came up with this touring comedy show idea. We cover such subjects as obsession, lust, stupidity and criminality

and there's even talk of having a raffle. We're very excited and some of the cast have already started thinking about which coat to take." Interesting Theatre Company was set up in 2014 by two friends (one of whom

was taller than the other) and are always on the lookout for new people. This show will be their fifth production. 'A Bit Sketchy' is on at Bakewell Town Hall on 2nd December, Ashover Parish Hall on 3rd December and at

At the end of a year where the nation has celebrated the life and works of William Shakespeare, Haddon Hall, Derbyshire, is creating an English Renaissance Christmas for visitors this December. With over 900 years in existence, the walls of Haddon Hall in Derbyshire have witnessed centuries of festive celebrations. Drawing from an era when the hall was built, when the fires roared and the tapestries would have shone with their luminous stitching even with the limited light of winter, Haddon Hall’s English Renaissance Christmas celebrates all that was glorious in the later medieval period. Wonderful music shall spiral throughout the hall. There shall be: performances and demonstrations on

traditional instruments by the ‘Doncaster Waites’; choral renditions in the chapel by ‘Vocalium’; a concert in the Long Gallery by the Royal Northern College of Music and carols and songs performed by the ‘Burbage Bell Ringers’. There shall be dancing by the historic group, ‘Gloriana’ and the works of William Shakespeare will provide the inspiration for the decoration of the Medieval Banqueting Hall, Tudor panelled Parlour and the Early English Renaissance Long Gallery, State Bedroom and Great Chamber. Enjoy warming drinks, delicious seasonal food, English Renaissance live music, Shakespeare readings and live performances; as you relish in a most traditional Christmas at Haddon Hall this December.

to perform Britten’s Saint Nicolas

PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SHOPS

Benjamin Britten was one of this country’s foremost musical figures in the middle part of the 20th century. He wrote Saint Nicolas in 1948 and it presents legendary incidents in the life of Nicolas, patron saint of children, seamen, and travellers. It is a great audience piece, painting a dramatically bold portrait of the saint's character, exaggerating the legends and glory that have accumulated over the centuries around Nicolas's story. This work, together with Pergolesi’s Magnificat and two Purcell anthems, will be performed by Bakewell Choral Society at the Parish Church in Bakewell on Saturday, 26 November at 7.30pm. They will be joined by young people aged 10 to 13 from S. Anselm's Chapel Choir, and accompanied by strings and percussion from South Yorkshire Symphony Orchestra. Peter Heginbotham will play the organ. This promises to be an exciting and varied concert and a perfect concert in the run up to Christmas! Tickets are £12 (students and accompanied children FREE) and available from members of the choir, Bakewell Bookshop, Matlock Street, Bakewell, 01629 812818, or on the door. Also by post from Elizabeth Butcher, The Gabled House, South Church Street, Bakewell, DE45 1FD, 01629 810205. Please include a SAE with a cheque made out to Bakewell Choral Society.

BAKEWELL AND DISTRICT PROBUS CLUB

DADDY; WHAT DID YOU DO IN THE GREAT WAR?

Every year, November is the month of Remembrance but this year it has special significance because it marks the centenary of the end of the Battle of the Somme in which more than a million men were killed or wounded, making it one of the bloodiest battles in history. It was fitting therefore that at a meeting in earlyNovember, the Bakewell and district Probus Club heard a talk about The Great War by one of its own members, Brian Barry, whose father had fought in that conflict. At the age of eighteen, Brian’s father had enlisted in the London Rifle Brigade and, two years later, in 1914 was sent to a sector of the Western Front in Flanders known by the British as ‘Plugstreet Wood’ (a corruption of its Flemish name, Ploegsteert). Here he was injured in early 1915 and returned home to recuperate. Later in the year he was promoted to Second Lieutenant after which he returned to fight in Flanders. After the war,

battles including not only the Somme but also the 1917 offensive at Bullecourt where Australian forces suffered devastating losses. In the midst of all this carnage, Brian’s father was clearly fortunate to have survived the war.

GLIMPSES OF GEORGIAN BAKEWELL

A headstone on the lower slopes of Bakewell churchyard marks the grave of White Watson, a prominent figure in the Peak in Georgian times. His epitaph tells us that he settled in Bakewell in early life, becoming highly respected as a sculptor, antiquary, mineralogist and author. It was Watson who carved the sundial on the south porch of the church but he also left a lasting legacy in his wonderful, gossipy diaries. These are his observations on looking back at the Bakewell he knew: ‘On 31st May, 1774, I came from my father’s at Baslow, to live with my Uncle and Aunt Watson, Statuary, at Bakewell, at my aunt’s particular request (who was my Godmother), where I found the Rev. Richard Chapman, the vicar of the Church, the Rev. Moses Hudson, the master of the Free School, who had generally fifty scholars, and was much esteemed as a master. Mr. Samuel Roe, Sexton and Clerk of the Parish Church, was master of the Free English School, endowed by Mrs. Mary Hague, as by her will, dated November 20th, 1715. Having many friends in this town everything was so pleasant. On Sundays we all went to church, no dissenting voice in the town, all praying to one God and Lord Jesus

Christ, and drank in social parties success to the Church and King. Mr. Watson was an overseer of the poor in partnership with Jno. Redfearn. They had nine assessments, each amounting to £18.0s.8½d, with a jumbling from the inhabitants. In 1774, Jno. Twigge, Esq., occupied Holme Hall, Jno. Barker, Esq., was agent to His Grace the Duke of Rutland, when, if any of the principal inhabitants wanted a dish of fish for a particular occasion, by applying to Wm. Smith, the overlooker of the river, they never were denied paying 6d. per pound. The Post Office was kept by Mr. and Mrs. Pidcock, and Gge. Staniforth rode post, who went to Chesterfield three times a week, when the London letters came in at 4d. each. Hannah Hancock delivered the letters out at a half-penny each.’ Beef at Christmas ‘There was a respectable card club for the principal inhabitants, who paid 6d. each for liquor and for Welsh Rabbits 3d. They met joyously, smoking their pipes, conversing freely, a card table for those who chose. But there must be no interruption of conversation by the cardparty. Any member might introduce a stranger. The Revd. Peter Walthall was chairman and president

on the breaking up of the club, when they had a good supper and dinner, plenty of fish from the river. The last entered member was the treasurer for the coming year. The club commenced on the first Thursday in September, and ended the first Thursday in May. I think there was sometimes a club in the summer also. There were three sister clubs during the season, which were paid for, as the cards, by the forfeitures for nonattendance on the clubnight Thursday. I recollect something of a Batchelors’ Club, where Mr. Samuel Roe presided, generally, as chairman (a very jolly meeting, and always a private meeting at Mr. Roe’s house.) In 1774 butcher’s meat was not to be had at any part of the week in Bakewell, but only on certain days, and beef only at certain times at Christmas. Wooden Josephs The custom of interment in wooden coffins (wooden Josephs) was on the Revd.

Mr.Monk’s coming to reside here (1678). A corps from Sheldon was brought in swaddling clothes (which was abolished in 1797), and was detained in the church until a coffin was made, and the wife then took off the flannel for her own use. On the prayer days, Wednesdays and Fridays, the good mothers attended with their daughters on divine service without delay. Post Office N.B. ‘In 1780, the amount of letters for the bye and cross posts at Bakewell per year was £24 on average, and in 1792 £200 on average. The London letters bear the same proportion. (signed) G. Staniforth, Postmaster.’ There is more to be discovered about Watson’s life and times at Bakewell Old House Museum, while comprehensive research by George Challenger inspired the publication in 1996 of White Watson – Bakewell’s only Famous Man by E. R. Meeke. Julie Bunting

CHRISTMAS TREE FESTIVAL AT ST MARY’S OF WIRKSWORTH

Quirky gifts for all the family Open every day 9.30am-5.30pm until Christmas Tel: 01629 820191

As part of the Christmas Tree Festival we are holding a special Festival Day on Saturday 17th December. During this day

Derbyshire’s No.1 Independent Land Rover Centre

St Mary’s will be the venue for a programme of events and activities involving a wide section of our Wirksworth community. John Searl, together with his committee, has a vision for an event which will involve local groups – musicians, singers, performers of the spoken word - ‘popping up’ in 20 minute slots to entertain visitors throughout the day as they enjoy the decorated

Christmas trees around our church. The aim is to show that St Mary’s is a place in which all are welcome, putting the church at the centre of the Christmas celebrations. There will be children’s craft activities and refreshments available, and it is hoped that St Mary’s will be a busy and exciting place. It is planned that the day will end with music, and a time of prayer. Performers will include the Community Choir, the Ukulele Orchestra, Wirksworth Writers, St Mary’s Choir, Organist Christopher Dixon, children from Wirksworth Infant Schools, and other local organisations Trees, around 27, purchased through and with the help of the National Trust at Kedleston

OF WIRKSWORTH

Hall, with some sponsored by local businesses, will be decorated by groups and charities on December 13th. On December 14th the lights will be switched on during the Town Carol Service, and the trees will then be available to view from the 14th December until January 2nd, (apart from after the Morning Service on December 25th, when the church will be closed.) The Festival will be advertised extensively in the press, on Radio Derby

and Radio Ashbourne, and in posters and leaflets around the town from early December, giving a detailed programme of the day. We hope you catch the Festival Committee’s enthusiasm for an event that puts our church at the heart of the Christmas celebrations in Wirksworth and that you enjoy the Christmas Tree Festival Day and all other days when the trees are on display in St Mary’s.

https://youtu.be/vmL_jGKUnk Q https://youtu.be/em6DPYdZ2 Kw Fiddler Emma Reid describes the journey of Methera over a decade: "Miranda brought us together out of a longing to explore the sound palette of the string quartet through the medium of the traditional music we were all passionate about. In the first years we would spend days on end playing around with one tune, experimenting with the sound and format a folk string quartet could take. One of the main criteria was to cherish each of our individual playing styles.” "The album title Vortex reflects one of Methera’s

trademarks," says cello player Lucy Deakin: "We always play in the round, in a close inward-facing circle. It means we hear every detail of the collective sound and can bounce off each other’s ideas in real time. We arrange all of our music together, and the individual notes we play are rarely set in stone - rather they are influenced by the room, the acoustic, the audience and what we are hearing in the moment. In our gig book, audiences write 'so magical to see and feel your interaction' and 'you create a vortex of sound that spirals out of the circle', which sums up what we are trying to convey."

T: 01629 583042 E: enquiries@matlock.gov.uk

At the end of the 19th century, traces of what was believed to have been a wayside hostelry could still be seen near Cawdor Quarry in Matlock, an area known at that time as Megdale. The remains stood close to the junction of Snitterton Road and Salters Lane, an old packhorse route climbing up to and beyond Bonsall and Winster moors. In 1893, when human remains were found at Cawdor Quarry, halfforgotten stories were rekindled in the memories of older people living around Matlock. They could recall tales handed down through

the years about an old crone by the name of Meg, a tavern keeper from whose establishment travellers tended to disappear. The 1893 discovery brought to light four skulls and a number of long bones. Though officially identified as prehistoric remains, a superstition took hold in Matlock that the bones finally proved foul play at the tavern of Meg o’ th’ Dale. Cawdor Quarry is likely to be earmarked for a major regeneration project, so perhaps another chapter will yet be added to the story of wicked old Meg.

NEW RECYCLING BANKS FOR OLD ELECTRICAL ITEMS

Derbyshire Dales residents can now recycle small Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) at electricals recycling banks located in three District Council car parks. Items accepted at the banks include small electrical appliances such as irons, kettles, hairdryers and fairy lights, small electrical devices such as mobile phones and smoke alarms and small DIY and garden electricals such as drills. The new banks can be found at District Council car parks in Bakewell's Granby Road, Matlock's Lido car park in Imperial Road and in Canterbury Road, Wirksworth. A District Council spokesperson said: "If you see a crossed out wheelie bin sign on any electrical product it means it is classed as ‘WEEE’ and can't be recycled with household waste. However, recycling electrical items can have a huge impact because precious metals recycled from old

electricals are used to make new components for technological equipment. "On average each person in the UK buys around three new electrical items each year - that's 170 million nationally - but sadly every year an estimated two million tonnes of WEEE items are discarded. Thanks to our household recycling collections Dales residents already recycle 55% of all waste, which is the highest rate in the whole of Derbyshire. We hope the new WEEE banks will encourage more people to recycle electrical items too." Small electrical items and larger ones - can also be recycled at local Household Waste Recycling Centres at Northwood in Darley Dale, Mayfield Road, Ashbourne, and Waterswallows, Buxton. Local people are asked to ensure that all personal data is removed from electrical devices before recycling them.

On Tuesday 8 November 2016 Mr.Frank Dickens gave a talk entitled ” Peter Moore – Prisoner of War”. This was essentially the story of Peter Moore as recounted to and researched by Mr. Dickens. Peter Moore flew with Bomber Command in World War Two and was shot down by a German fighter and after bailing out eventually became a Prisoner of War. Many books have been written and films made about such prisoners and about the way in which they sought to carry on the war in the camps by various means and particularly by escape attempts. Peter was involved in such activities but was particularly interesting in his descriptions of the everyday life of the camps, the ways of ameliorating living conditions and the way in which the prisoners used the skills and talents of the fellow prisoners to form clubs, societies and activities to enliven the drabness and potentially soul destroying life of the camp. He stressed the way in which a sense of humour did much to keep up spirits and gave several examples of amusing incidents and stories. Mr. Dickens has done a tremendous amount of research and interviewing and displayed a large number of documents for his audience to examine. A vote of thanks was proposed by Chairman Frank Beesley. Visitors are always welcome to Forum meetings which are held on Tuesday morning at the Edgefold Club, beginning with coffee and biscuits at 10am.

When someone has a cardiac arrest, is unconscious, not breathing normally and showing no signs of circulation, it is vital to use a defibrillator and CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) as soon as possible to increase the chances of the person surviving. Portable, battery powered defibrillators provide a controlled electrical charge to a cardiac arrest patient to get the heart re-started and hopefully save the person’s life. Matlock town centre did not have a public defibrillator available on a 24 hour basis and this led to Matlock Rotary Club looking into installing a defibrillator in the town centre. A number of locations for a defibrillator cabinet were considered and through working with Derbyshire Dales District Council the optimum location was chosen, on the outside wall of the Market Hall on Bakewell Road, facing the road. This building is owned by Derbyshire Dales District Council and they agreed to install the defibrillator cabinet and cover the ongoing electricity costs (to heat and light the cabinet) free of charge. The Rotary Club of Matlock purchased the defibrillator and cabinet, with financial assistance from Matlock Town Council. As a result, Matlock is now provided with its first publicly available defibrillator, in a central

and I look forward to seeing more defibrillators in the Matlock area.” Diane Blount, President of Matlock Rotary Club said, “Matlock Rotary Club is grateful to Derbyshire Dales District Council and Matlock Town Council for their help with the defibrillator project. It is great to be able to work together on a lifesaving scheme which benefits the people of Matlock.”

Diane Blount, President of Matlock Rotary Club, Councillor Brian Smith, Mayor of Matlock, Peter Wigglesworth, Matlock Rotary Club location where it is highly visible and easily found. If anyone needs to use the defibrillator, the procedure is to ring the ambulance service (999) and ask for the key code for the cabinet. The defibrillator is fully automatic and the instructions are given audibly by the defibrillator, once it is turned on for use. An electric shock will not be given to a patient if one is not needed as the defibrillator assesses the condition of the patient. A special set of child defibrillation pads is also included for use with children under 8 years of age. The defibrillator was officially inaugurated on 17 October by the Mayor of Matlock, Councillor Brian Smith, who said, “I am really pleased to be involved with this defibrillator project

If you get a chance you really must visit Dale Road. One of our longest established businesses in Matlock, W. Evans & Son Jewellers has gone through an exciting refurbishment, still in keeping with its original Victorian fixtures. W. Evans & Son Jewellers, one of Matlock’s oldest businesses, established in 1851 in the Derbyshire town of Wirksworth by Mr William

Evans, relocated to Dale Road in 1893 and has been trading there ever since. The team at W. Evans & Son decided to condense the jewellers back down to its original size in order to better utilise the space. Now that the store is slightly smaller, the team at Evans are focused on bringing the business back up to its former glory and filling the shelves with luxury and vintage jewellery and

watches, precious stones and fabulous gift items. They have also extended their range of pre-owned jewellery and watches, brands such as Rolex, Bvlgari, Cartier, Raymond Weil, Ebel and Breitling, cleaned and serviced ready for a new home. On Mondays and Tuesdays they offer a free jewellery cleaning and estimates service, so why not drop in and make your

jewellery shine again. Go in for a chat with a member of the team if you have any questions about your jewellery or watches.

MATLOCK U15s 40 TUPTON U15s/16s 55

With a full squad for the first time this season, Matlock Under 15s faced a large Tupton squad, a third of which were a year older. Could they hold their own against a distinct age and weight disadvantage? From the off, a frenetic pace was set. Tupton chased down Matlock forwards with pace and aggression. The boys held their ground and kept their discipline and technique. A lovely jinking run from Sam led to the first scrum deep in Tupton half. Matlock forward line led by George Bowen, Tom Christian and Brandon Harrison were first to the breakdown every time, passing the ball well, using their pace to good effect. Adam and Will Needham were winning their individual battles and picking up loose balls at every turn. Calum was getting the ball out and bringing the backs into play. The scrum was doing its job fantastically well against boys with a distinct height and weight advantage and it was from a well worked scrum and great interplay between Sam and Danny that Matlock took a deserved lead 7-0 Harry and Tom Spivey were getting in crucial tackles to disrupt Tupton momentum. But against the run of play, an overload on the left wing allowed a Tupton forward to restore parity. 7-7 Will King put in a brave tackle on a Tupton player twice his size, injuring himself in the process and having to leave the field, but epitomising the team's determined attitude. But a minute later a fumbled pass allowed a second Tupton try. 7-12 The lead was extended to 7-19 a few minutes later. Brandon went in where it hurts and drew a foul. From the resulting line out, the ball was passed along the line and runs from Sam and Danny gained good territory and a second line out on the Tupton try line. Matlock kept their shape and their discipline and the rewards came with a well worked second try after running from Fraser passing to Danny. 14-19

As the game approached half time, it was settling into a tight even contest. Tupton forced through a fourth try 14-24 Matlock responded in kind immediately with a brilliantly executed pass from Sam to Harry who rode three tackles to score. Sam maintained his 100 per cent conversion rate to take the scores to 21-24. Within a blink, Tupton replied with a try of their own on the brink of half time 21-31. The half time message from the coaches was that superior technique and eradicating handling errors could win the day. The forwards were performing absolutely brilliantly, giving the backs the time and space to play. But as the game wore on, it was inevitable that the older Tupton boys might make their stamina and age advantage count. Matlock opened the second half well, forcing Tupton back and winning balls at the breakdown. From one of these, Sam was able to win a penalty and from the resulting play, George and Adam drove the ball through on the try line to reduce the deficit to five points. 26-31. Immediately Tupton used brute force to reply 2636. Great technique and superb work from the forwards allowed Ned to pick up the ball and break through for a fifth Matlock try . 33-36. Olly caught and ran superbly from the kick off, almost breaking through but allowing Sam to kick into the Tupton corner. From the line out, Matlock forced another penalty, two yellow cards ensued for the visitors and a try for Ned put Matlock in the lead. 4036. Tupton replied again to bring the game within a single point 40-41 and the final 10 minutes of the game however proved to be a bridge too far for a Matlock team, each and every one of whom had performed heroically and done their club proud. As they tired, the hosts were able to add to their tally to bring the final score to a highly respectable 40-55.

'NO HALLS BARRED' 2016 - 25TH NOVEMBER 7.30PM ‘Wonderful songs, gentle anecdotes and delicious leg-pulling..a gem of an evening!’ Kate Howden and Paul Jones are singer-songwriters, based in the north west of England, who have that special magic that captivates the audience in a unique, intimate atmosphere. Stripped back, gritty, often poignant, sometimes humorous, observations that reflect life’s ups and downs, their show is a family friendly mixture of songs, tunes and stories that has the audience joining in, singing along, and laughing as they share their travelling experiences through their music and northern-tinged banter. Specialising in playing at Village Halls and Community Venues, they celebrate England in all its guises good and bad, particularly rural village life, including nature and the seasons. With powerful harmony, skilled musicianship and beautiful arrangements, they write all their own material and between them play guitar, mandolin, fiddle, banjo and bodhran. No Halls Barred will be playing at Bramwell Memorial Institute, Taddington SK17 9UD. Tickets £8 from 01298 85101 or email taddingtoninstitute@gmail.com STONEY MIDDLETON SCHOOL The Autumn term at Stoney Middleton Primary School has certainly been action packed and enjoyable for all the children. Firstly, we have welcomed our new Headteacher, Mrs Andrea Tomlinson. Since September, we have seen the start of a Breakfast Club and After School Club each day of the week. These have been very well attended and very successful. In the mornings, the children have enjoyed a good nutritious breakfast together to start their day. They have also caught up on daily world news, played games, listened to music and watched episodes of their favourite shows. After school, the children have worked in construction projects, exciting science ventures, completed film critiques at film club and played different sports. There has been music in the air too as we have begun a toddlers music session, running fortnightly on Wednesdays. Bootmakers class are also taking part in a music partnership with Eyam school, this sees music lessons taught by a music specialist as part of the rural music partnership. Mr Evemy, who is currently working in school, has been encouraging even more music and singing to be heard, using his own music skills to bring to live worship in school. We are building close links with the local history society and a member kindly accompanied us on a very informative walk around the village discussing the past events and importance of Stoney Middleton. The classes in school have been renamed ‘Bootmakers’ and ‘Quarrymen’ in an attempt to bring to life their local heritage. During Armistice Day, the children will be thinking about the sacrifice that was made by so many and will be visiting war graves and the church to mark their respect. The children had great fun learning about the Gunpowder Plot as part of British Values lessons last week. There was also a

bonfire night disco at school, where we were pleased to welcome children from other schools to join in our fun.

Experience the Stoney Middleton PRDIE for yourself. Alex Barnes BAKEWELL W.I. “As talks go, we have had two brilliant subjects over the last 2 months. In September we had a representative from Derbyshire Federation of WIs explain to us what ACWW meant, and where our Pennies for Friendship contributions were going. Associated Women of the World connects and supports women and their communities by working in partnership with member societies, connecting at international level through UN representation. Funding communities and helping the development of projects by improving the lot of women. It originated in 1929 in Canada and by 1977 950 projects were being funded in 73 countries, averaging less than £4,000 per project from banana leaf plates to water projects, to training orphan girls for family life. Any help is gratefully received, and our way of support is to collect used stamps and any sensible underwear to send abroad. In October Nigel and Val Hutton spoke to us about their travels and experiences in Vietnam, Myanmar and Cambodia with 6 weeks helping teachers to teach children in Siem Reap. With the Khmer Rouge devastating the country in the 1970’s, Nigel and Val found that the children’s education had been sadly neglected but within a short time they were teaching the children colours, shapes and other vocabulary by putting it into song, which is being carried on to this day by the teachers they worked alongside. They were shown nothing but kindness, and the challenges of a simplistic life that were thrown at them from the beginning only made the whole time there more memorable. And to our delight they brought along a Khmer vegetable curry and rice for us all to try at the end. Needless to say we went back for seconds. We enjoyed the curry so much that Val and Nigel are going to help us celebrate our 10th Anniversary next month by putting on a Khmer buffet. And at our meeting on Tuesday, 13th December, we will be making chocolate trees and having a talk on the History of Chocolate. Please join us…we are a fun group and the more the merrier. Contact Rashelle MaltzJones on rashelle247@btinternet.com or 01629 810355 for more details.” LOCAL CLIMBERS RAISE MONEY FOR CHARITY As a charity, Edale Mountain Rescue Team continually needs to raise money to ensure it can fund the

increasing number of rescue operations it is requested to attend. So, when four local climbers offered to raise some money by climbing the walls at all four Awesome Walls centres, we were more than happy to support the venture and go along and meet with them on the final pitches at the Awesome Walls in Sheffield. The team of four included Richard Baxter (organiser), Daniel Marsden and Karl Gledhill. The fourth member, Paul Cooper, had a more pressing matter to contend with (some story about his wife being heavily pregnant and imminent…). With a 260 mile road trip ahead of them, the guys had an early start with a drive across the Pennines to begin the climbs in Liverpool, then off to Stockport and on to Stoke. Just after 6.00pm, they finally arrived at Awesome Walls Sheffield: led by “Sally”, the Nightmare before Christmas (aka, Richard; don’t ask…), accompanied by a cow (Dan) and a wolf (Karl) but no Paul (the baby was having other ideas about being imminent…). Richard, Dan and Karl had climbed in these outfits all day and managed to complete their ascents at Sheffield before closing time. Richard’s JustGiving page has raised £318 so far including corporate sponsorship from Five Ten; please go to: https://www.justgiving.com/f undraising/Awesome-Edale if you wish to support the work of these guys. As a team, Edale MRT relies on donations and fundraising activities such as this – we couldn’t work if it wasn’t for the generosity of folks like this so, Richard, Dan, Karl and Paul – a BIG thank you for all your efforts. We should also like to thank all the staff at all the Awesome Walls venues who kindly supported Richard, Dan and Karl during their climbing sessions.

The money raised will go towards Oxfam’s projects such as supporting thousands of people who are displaced or refugees that the charity is working with in Syria, Turkey, Iraq and Greece. Walter De Buck, Oxfam area manager for Derbyshire, says: “We are so grateful to the generous people of Derbyshire who donate to and buy from our shops. This support raises absolutely crucial funds for Oxfam’s work helping people in desperate circumstances. It is thanks to our determined staff and volunteers, and our very generous donors and customers that Oxfam can provide life saving water, food and emergency supplies to thousands around the world”. According to the charity, we are living in a time when more people – almost 60 million - are displaced from their homes than at any time since the Second World War. He said: “We are helping those arriving in Italy by providing food, clothes, shoes, and personal hygiene kits as well as longer term psychological and legal support. In Syria, Jordan and Lebanon, we are providing life-saving clean water, sanitation and vital support for families who have lost everything. With £36 Oxfam can provide clean and safe water to families and with £100 toilets and washing facilities for dozens of people made homeless”. Mr De Buck says that more than ever Oxfam shops need donations to raise crucial funds for its work to end extreme poverty and suffering around the world. He adds: "This year's achievement is a whole team effort; our precious volunteers enjoy friendships, job satisfaction and of course a good cup of tea when they give their time in our shops. If you can spare even just a couple of hours, please pop along to one of our Derbyshire shops to find out about how to join our team and use your skills to help fight poverty". He concludes: “As the need around the world grows, we urgently need to scale up our work, and we cannot do this without the people of Derbyshire. So please keep donating, volunteering and shopping with Oxfam, it really does make a huge difference to the lives of people around the world”.

NEXT ISSUE Christmastime in

Buxton and the Hope Valley In the next issue of the Peak Advertiser dated 5th December 2016 we will be including features on Christmastime in Buxton and the Hope Valley

When I first met Elizabeth Bishop, she was heavily into supporting a local donkey sanctuary. Since then, no demonstration has been complete without the introduction of animals into her work. This time it was polar bears, reindeer and the antics of two rescue dogs! As Elizabeth came originally from Malaysia, she loves to include tropical flowers and bright colours. The show stopper had to be a design with heliconium and red hot chillies. A simple design that was stunning in its simplicity, centred around using just anthurium. A striking quality was brought about by using flowers of various shades of one colour, bringing depth and sophistication. One story brought laughter as Elizabeth recounted how, when on a ferry heading for a NAFAS display, she

entered into the spirit of ‘lonely bouquets’ where NAFAS members randomly leave flowers and a card for someone to find and enjoy. Unfortunately, the ship’s security found it less benevolent and brought Elizabeth to the captain to explain her suspicious package that could have terrorist intent! We often see an explosion of colour in our flowers, but never literally! We certainly had a wonderful evening with Elizabeth and now look forward to our Christmas bonanza. Craig Bullock, a National Demonstrator, will entertain at Calver Village Hall on Thursday 1st December at 7.45. Tickets (£10) can be bought from Christine on 01433 630161. Come along for a warm and genuine welcome followed by inspirational flower designs.

THE BETTER THEY COME THE HARDER THEY TAKE DEFEAT Hope Valley 1st XV - 34

This fixture was on, off, then on again so it came as no surprise to Valley that Eccles turned up with a strengthened team following the cancellation of their 2nd XV fixture and this strength was in evidence early as Valley had to defend ferociously with a superb tackle by scrum half Steve Rawson preventing what seemed a certain score. The pressure finally told though when, despite Valley demolishing the visitor's scrum, Eccles were able to maintain possession and cross for an unconverted try and a 5-0 lead. As frequently demonstrated this season, Valley are a resilient team and a superb run by full back Mark Innes saw Ed Oldridge narrowly denied a try whilst Kristian Williams also crossed the tryline, only to be called back for a knock-on. The pressure was bound to tell, however, and it was JAKE OLDRIDGE who finished off a neat handling move to tie the score at 5-5. This was as good as it got for Valley in a frantic first half, as, despite some ferocious tackling led by Boak and Williams, the

Buxton Soroptimists learned a great deal at their October dinner meeting John Phillips spoke about making Buxton dementia friendly, and was graphic in his description of the confusion felt by people with dementia in unfamiliar surroundings. for example, a swirling pattern on a carpet would be interpreted as snakes on the ground. A single black door mat would appear to be a hole, which a sufferer would be loathe to step over. We are all familiar with the lost feeling in strange hotels, and the feeling of disorientation we have in a long corridor, perhaps uncertain whether we should turn left or right towards the exit. This feeling is magnified when dementia sufferers find themselves in unexpected places and panic attacks may be severe. John was thanked by President Chris Campbell. To learn more about the group and its activities find us on the internet.

visitors exploited an overlap score another to unconverted try and, with time running out, took advantage of Valley's defensive misalignment to score the game's first converted try for a 17-5 interval lead. Valley were not downhearted though and, with their pack dominant in the scrums, they applied early pressure, Innes going close and finding JAKE BOAK in support for a try converted by MARK INNES and a five point deficit that was soon overturned when HEIN LE GRANGE was quickest to react to some

scrappy lineout possession for a try, again converted by INNES. Valley were now rampant and it was from more lineout possession that BEN SOMERTON was able to crash over for a try, INNES adding the extras and a penalty goal for a 29-17 lead. Eccles, despite carrying several injuries, refused to quit though so it came as some relief when fly half Gethin Evans cleverly reversed play, finding Matt Johnson in support and it was his pass that saw MARK INNES cap a fine display with a try, before blotting his copybook by hitting the post

with the easiest of conversions. TRIES: J.Oldridge, Boak, Le Grange, Somerton, Innes Cons: Innes (3) Pens: Innes (1) MEN OF THE MATCH: In a match where defence was paramount JAKE BOAK was marginally ahead of his teammates with an allaction display whilst MARK INNES was at the heart of much of Valley's best attacking work, both physically and verbally (ie he never shut up!!). Next week sees Valley travel to the heart of rugby league country with a visit to mid-table rivals Leigh RFC.

to the car. Colin Walker, recently retired from being a consultant to oil companies, confirmed that the cost of building the car, not including transport, hotels or airfare costs, was around £250,000 (US$335,000). He would like to run the car again in 2017 to try to beat the current class record, but will need serious sponsorship to do this. David Chapman would also like to return to try to earn a red hat for breaking the record and bettering 200 mph.

MGA CONTINUES LONG TRADITION OF MGs AT BONNEVILLE

2006 PEUGEOT 206 URBAN

The salt flats at Bonneville, Utah, have been used for motorsport since 1912, and became popular for land speed record attempts in the 1930s. In 2016, the MGA built by Walker-Chapman Performance Engineering in Derbyshire, England, came to Bonneville to have a go. The team comprised Colin Walker, owner, David Chapman, driver from Matlock, and Stephen Walker (Colin’s cousin), mechanic from Tideswell. In addition to their on salt roles, Colin was responsible for the data collection system, Stephen had built the car, and David had fabricated the roll cage. They first brought the car to Wendover near Bonneville in 2014, but did not get on to the salt as the surface was deemed unsuitable for racing. However, at that time they met Richard Stuhaan from California, who has raced many times on the salt, and he joined the team to provide local knowledge and his

experience was invaluable. A 1961 MGA was the basis of the car, with the original MGA chassis. The team chose a Ford Coyote V8 five litre engine and added a supercharger to it. This was the first time at Bonneville for driver, David Chapman, so it was necessary for him to take “rookie training” and this comprised 2-3 hours of on site lectures. Bonneville Speed Week in 2016 ran from August 13th to August 19th. This year Bonneville had three different parallel courses – the Rookie course of three miles length, the Short course of 5 miles length, and the Long course at 8 miles length. The altitude at Bonneville is 4,219 feet, with extremely low humidity. Fortunately, a car fitted with fuel injection and an ECU automatically compensates for differing air densities. The MGA started out on the Rookie course on the Saturday, and got to 121.478 miles per hour.

The following day the car had two runs on the Rookie course achieving 142.095 and 160.138 mph. Two runs on Tuesday got the car to 172.124 and 176.281 mph, enough for the driver to get his B license. On Wednesday, the car was driven on the long course for the first time, but a fuel delivery problem restricted the car to 181.907 mph. The team’s two runs on Thursday got them to 187.961 and 195.679 mph over the official timed mile. There were participants from across the US, and from around the world Isle of Man, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, France, Holland, Sweden, Japan, Italy, and Switzerland, and all were eager to get on the salt again after a three year break. The MGA certainly created a buzz this year at Bonneville, and it attracted many admirers. Other drivers, crew members, and spectators were drawn

My walk started at Crossgreen betwixt South Darley and Wensley where the school, village hall and church snuggle around a triangle of trees at the side of the steep road climbing up from the river. Passing through a gate on Kirby Lane I followed a permissive path allowing me the joy of walking over Oker Hill, my mission being to photograph the ‘lone tree’ before it lost its leaves. Before reaching it I first passed the trig point which was newly painted and glistening bright and white against a subdued golden hue of dying bracken. Two trees were originally planted by Will Shore to commemorate the parting of two brothers who decided to go their separate ways in life, one to seek his fortune abroad, the other staying locally. One of the trees was felled in a storm and the tradition of the lone tree began, inspiring Wordsworth to write a sonnet in 1838. Shored up on each flank of the hill by young sycamore siblings, their future protected by fence or railings, the lone tree is a well known landmark. The path now descended steeply to a bowl of pasture and old stone building. Nearby was a walled well known as Grace’s Well which may possibly date from an ancient hill fort which is said to have been sited here long ago, built by Roman legions who had ousted the Britons that previously lived on the hill. The fort was given the name Occursus or hill of conflict, Oker or Oaker is said to be a corruption of this. After climbing over the stile by the well I was intrigued to see the patch of woodland and scrub beyond contained a group of foraging young cattle enthusiastically scrunching and munching at leaves released by frost the night before, something I’ve never experienced seeing before.

Another descent followed as I dropped down a field to Aston Lane where I turned right and walked to the junction. A lovely footpath led me across a couple of fields to Snitterton where a final narrow stretch of path brought me to the heart of this tiny hamlet beside a stone which marked the site of a bull ring long ago. Snitterton Hall is a fabulous house built in 1631. As I walked up the road I couldn’t help but wonder what fabulous gardens lay behind the high stone wall and if they still contain pink daffodils in spring, which one of the previous owners was evidently famed for cultivating. Continuing along the track beyond the Hall my route began to ascend; passing through a gate with a warning sign for a bull in the field. However, more challenging than evading any bull was finding the path through a serengetti of cows and calves dotted over a succession of fields enclosed by old drystone walls and new fencing.

Occasional waymarker posts helped as I made my way to high ground, entering a landscape once scarred by lead mining but now just verdant and undulating. It fascinated me as I walked through the grassed over spoil heaps, passing capped shafts and evidence of T’owd Man workings, what lay beneath the surface in an underworld of mole run tunnels. Somewhere hereabouts are Tearsall Pipe Caverns which connect with the former Dalefield Mine. A series of sump shafts and passageways lead to Rift Chamber which is said to be 40 feet high and there are also strangely named tunnels known as Gnasher Crawl and Thrutchers Paradise. From this elevated vantage point I had views stretching right up the Derwent Valley, disappearing like a snake beyond Chatsworth House where a little plume of fountain mist rose up from the gardens. The way to Wensley from here was now easy to follow, mainly on an old miners’ path which dipped down into Wensley Dale before climbing a bank into the village. Wensley is now a dry village devoid of any pub, although there is evidence that at least two buildings were once hostelries here, the Red Lion still displaying signage from many years past. It was just beyond this once popular wayside inn that I turned right up a footpath and crossed an arable field to the left of a most unusual house created out of a water holding tank, now converted into Cambridge Lodge, a most unique and quirky holiday let. A steep descent followed

as I dropped down Cambridge Wood before crossing a brook in the bottom and heading up the bank opposite. Tucked away here are the remains of a bob wall from the engine house above Watts Shaft. This old mine was reopened by Edward Miller Wass in 1859 in a vain attempt to retrieve the reputed wagon loads of ore left in the bottom levels of previous workings. Sounds from the Enthoven works with its massive chimney reminded me that although now surrounded by an area well landscaped and forested, this has long since been an industrial area and was the site of Millclose Mine, Derbyshire’s largest and last to close lead mine. It employed 800 men in its heyday who worked up to 900 feet below the surface raising an annual 30,000 tons of high grade lead at its height. However due to the mine reaching well below the water table, flooding was often a problem. Three pumps extracted millions of gallons of water daily but in 1938 the mine flooded so badly that it was deemed no longer financially viable. After walking down Oldfield Lane to the junction with the Stanton Lees road I turned right and crossed a stile beside double gates to walk along a well defined path lined on either side by plantations of mature trees. After crossing a brook the path climbed steeply uphill, eventually returning me to Cross Green where I would emerge slightly uphill of St Mary the Virgin church, built in 1843 in a Norman style. Before I reached this however I had one last wonderful wildlife treat in store. As I wandered uphill through the woodland in a state of quiet concentration, a pair of deer suddenly crossed the path in front of me. From the look on their faces they appeared to be as surprised as I was at our brief encounter. Not red, roe or sika, this pair of rare and feral melanic black-coated fallow deer are descendants from a herd introduced by the Stanton Hall estate. Elusive and evasive they live mainly in woodland all around Stanton Moor. I tried to take a photo but by the time I had switched on my camera it really was a shot in the dark as they disappeared through the trees in a flash. Sally Mosley
