CONTENTS INSIDE ⚪ ⚪ ⚪ ⚪ 3 Welcome Can you believe it’s the penultimate month of the year already? We are very pleased to have a new writer on board. Henry Parish is keen to be a sports journalist. Having finished college, here in Worthing, he has offered to write about all things “Sport” for work experience, before starting University next year. You will see on p25, that Henry has written an excellent piece about a match at Worthing Football Club ground at the end of September. This is an example of things to come....if you have a sport and would like Henry to add a match or event to our growing Sports section, please get in touch with me. November editions take a more serious tone, as we move further away from the summer pizazz...I can assure you that they are all well writen and interesting reads, nevertheless. Thank you for reading!

A tribute to 5 years of support

s we approach this year’s Remembrance Sunday, we celebrate a significant milestone in our community – the 5th anniversary of the Worthing Veterans Association. This remarkable organisation was born out of a heartfelt mission: to bridge the gaps in Worthing when it comes to supporting our former servicemen and women, their families, caregivers and those still serving our nation. Over the past five years, the Worthing Veterans Association has achieved an array of commendable feats. Their impact has extended to helping homeless veterans secure housing, preventing tragic suicides, conducting clothing and food drives for those in need, and representing veterans and caregivers in court. They’ve also provided essential welfare and social assistance, lent a hand in organising

important events like Remembrance Sunday and spearheaded the annual Armed Forces Day parade. But that’s not all – they’ve established invaluable connections with respected organisations such as the Royal British Legion, SSAFA, Help4 Heroes and many other military charities. For those seeking a friendly, welcoming space, the Worthing Veterans Association hosts a Veterans Drop-In session at the Gordon Room in Worthing Town Hall. Every 1st Monday of the month (excluding Bank Holidays) from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM, veterans and their families can join in for heartfelt conversations, enjoy free snacks and refreshments and access essential welfare and social assistance if needed. Additionally, there’s the Veterans Breakfast Club, a delightful gathering held on the 1st Saturday of every month from

9:30 AM to 11:00 AM at the Toby Carvery at Lyons Farm. It’s a fantastic opportunity to savour a hearty English breakfast while indulging in some lively military banter. The Worthing Veterans Association has become an integral part of our local community, providing support, camaraderie, and a helping hand to those who’ve dedicated their lives to serving our nation. As we honour their 5th anniversary, let’s remember and celebrate their unwavering commitment to our veterans and their families.

NEW IDEAS INSIDE ⚪ ⚪ ⚪ ⚪

Is it time for a Universal Basic Income for Worthing?

he cost of living crisis has highlighted the fact that thousands of people in the UK do not have enough money to live on. In Worthing, a group of campaigners from across the community have come together to look closely at how a Universal Basic Income (UBI) could benefit local people. WHAT IS UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME? It is a regular income paid to individuals, as a right of legal residence, without means testing or requirements to work. The payment should be sufficient to cover basic needs. It would be administered to everyone from the age of 18 until death, with parents receiving an extra payment for each dependent child. It is based on the principle that everyone has a fundamental right to a basic level of economic security, and seeks to provide this for individuals, regardless of their employment status, The universal approach simplifies the welfare system, greatly reducing the administrative costs and bureaucracy currently associated with Universal Credit. While not intended to replace the benefits

No one should ever be facing poverty, having to choose between heating and eating, in one of the wealthiest countries in the world. Basic income has the potential to simplify the welfare system and tackle poverty in Britain Cleo Goodman, co-founder of the Basic Income Conversation system, it will lower the costs and remove the stigma and stress of interacting with the system. HOW DOES IT WORK? Everyone receives the payment and individuals are free to spend the money as they see fit. This approach respects individual autonomy, recognising that people have diverse needs and priorities. By being unconditional, Basic Income empowers people to make choices that best suit their circumstances. It provides a sense of security and reduces the stress and anxiety associated with meeting basic needs. It also supports individuals in pursuing entrepreneurial ventures, education, volunteering and caregiving, as they have a regular income to rely on.

WHAT IS HAPPENING LOCALLY? With its relatively high levels of poverty, drug use and a growing homeless population, Worthing is an ideal place for to pilot UBI. A cross-community group of local activists have formed “Worthing Basic Income”, a steering group to explore what a pilot would look like and how it could be implemented in the town. They would like to connect with other individuals, community groups and political parties to promote the idea to local and national government. If you would like to hear more or get involved, Worthing Basic Income will be holding a series of public meetings………….

https://www.basicincomeconversation.org/ https://www.UBI.org

Hi, I am cleaning gutters in your area. Would you like yours cleaned too, from £39? If so please call me on one of the numbers below Cheers

Various models of UBI have been piloted across the world with positive results; including increases in both paid and unpaid work, better mental health outcomes, higher educational attainment and attendance, less crime and reductions in substance misuse.

Lifeless Land,

Poisoned Bodies

concludes in a draft biological evaluation released Nov. 25. The analysis comes just days after the agency reported that another widely used herbicide, atrazine, is likely detrimental to more than half of such species.

“I’d watch your puppy - looks like the council have been spraying again” While Frankie Staff and Teddie Pup have a friendly stop’n’sniff moment, we humans look bleakly at the brown, drooping long grass along the pavement. “I thought they’d agreed to stop using that stuff?”

Caroline Osella

“I wonder what it does to humans - it’s in the soil, the water, everything” “Mmmm, all those cancer links, yeah?”

“Me too - can’t believe they’re still poisoning us all” Prof Sir Ian Boyd, a chief scientific adviser to the UK government, warned in 2017 that pesticide use across landscapes is unsafe - we’ve known about this for a long time. “I read that chemical pollution crossed one of those critical planetary boundaries already - how can they still be adding to that?” The dogs look mournfully at the tree, pulling on their leashes, but we won’t let them go and shove their noses into that poisoned grass wilting around the base. Chemical and Engineering News (hardly a ‘woke’ publication of green warriors) reported in 2020 that, The widely used herbicide glyphosate is likely to adversely affect 93% of threatened and endangered species, the US Environmental Protection Agency

Recent 2023 research, by Dr Feng Zhan and a team of 12 other scientists, ran experiments on human serum lipidomics analysis (no, I don’t know, either, and nor, I expect, do many people). Their conclusions: The present work discovered glyphosateinduced potential health risks, including chronic hepatic and renal dysfunction, atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease and neurodegenerative diseases from a lipidomic perspective. More easy to understand is their experimental finding that, It was demonstrated that glyphosate caused significant perturbations of 115 differentially expressed lipids. “I think it’s also to do with how chemicals Caroline Osella writes @ https://worthingethnographic.com/

combine to make new toxic compounds?” “Yeah, I don’t really understand it all, but scientists call it a ‘cocktail effect’ ” Chemical testing shows that the surfactant ingredient in Roundup is more toxic than glyphosate itself - but the combination of the two is acutely more toxic. At Green Dreams festival, Worthing Council reps were there with their ‘Big Listen’ campaign. I asked about pesticides and was told that while Worthing Borough Council has joined many UK councils in a policy shift to stop using poisons on land, West Sussex County Council is responsible for roads and paths - continuing its policy of spraying. Pesticide Action Network (PAN) supports over 80 UK councils, who have developed what PAN call a chemical-free weed management strategy. They warn that this takes community education and support, some old-school hand weeding and time. They reckon you need a 3 year trial and bed-in period for people to adjust. Teddie-pup’s walker and I disentangle our dogs’ leashes and walk carefully onwards, pulling them away from their favourite roadside sniff spots. As I enter our front gate and look at our rewilded front garden, I wonder how much of those poisons have drifted into Worthing’s soil, water, wildlife and bodies.

Autumn Flooring Trends Wall Bros has been covering Sussex with flooring for over 60 years. SO WHO BETTER TO ASK ABOUT AUTUMN FLOORING TRENDS? As we head into Autumn 2023, you may be looking to change up your home to reflect the changing of the season. Colours like deep oranges and mustard yellow are always a great option for this time of year, but there are other options too. Colour trends for Autumn 2023

Using these colour trends

EARTHY NEUTRALS

WOOD FLOORING

What’s great about this trend, is that it leans into what’s already trending in the flooring world. Neutral shades continue to be the top choice of flooring colour. Bringing these colours into your space can create a sense of tranquillity and a greater connection to nature.

Real wood flooring is a timeless option for most homes, not least because of its durability and timeless style. The herringbone pattern oak flooring you can see pictured was laid recently in a Worthing customer’s home.

This year, there’s also a focus on muted greens. Just like the neutral earthy tones, muted green allows you to connect with nature and bring a little bit of it into your home. Green carpets are really refreshing and can be subtle, depending on the look you like best. So make sure you take a look at our ranges in Worthing or Storrington and speak to our awardwinning experts.

LUXURY VINYL TILES (OR LVT) The fantastic thing about LVT is it allows you to lean into a range of trends. For instance, if you love the look of wood flooring but need something a bit more durable and pet friendly, LVT is the flooring for you. With individual planks, LVT can look exactly like wood flooring but it’s completely waterproof and can be used in bathrooms. Bold patterns are popular this year and LVT flooring can also achieve a bold look too.

DEEP REDS

WOOL CARPET

Last, but by no means least, deep reds are back to bring a cosy feel to your home. As the nights get longer, a deep red can bring calm and a sense of security. Contrary to popular belief, having dark flooring doesn’t have to make the room feel dark, so it’s worth speaking to our team of experts don’t shy away from darker shades!

Wool carpet is a great Autumnal option as a fantastic insulator, keeping warmth in while also reducing draughts. We have a huge range of appealing wool carpets. When you visit our showrooms, our experts can help you find the type of flooring you prefer. Our flooring experts are on hand to make sure that you find your perfect flooring. We’d love to see you at our Worthing or Storrington showroom soon! Scan the QR code to see where your nearest showroom is located.

Foxy Ladies Running Club Charity Calendar Appeal

s a relatively large women’s running club with over 200 members, we have unfortunately witnessed so many of our ladies experience cancer, like so many others in our community. Whether they have fought it, currently going through it, or are living with it, they continue to be an inspiration to the rest of the club. This calendar is our way of supporting our ladies by raising awareness of these two amazing charities that have helped them; Macmillan Cancer Support and Cancer United. Macmillan Cancer Support is one of the largest British charities and provides health care, information, emotional support and more - to many. Cancer United is a small charity based in Angmering, providing a support service to help people rebuild their lives after a cancer diagnosis. We hope this calendar shows that you don’t have to give up things you love

because you have had cancer or are going through treatment. We are immensely grateful to have secured free services from a professional photographer, designer and printer. This means all proceeds will go straight to these wonderful charities. You don’t have to be a runner to appreciate great photos of beautiful Sussex countryside and our inspirational ladies doing their thing.

Where Children Thrive!

Our calendar, priced at £12, will be ready for sale from the end of October. They can be purchased by contacting info@foxyladiesrunningclub.com. If you can’t wait, you can pre-order now at: www.cancerunited.org.uk/ foxyladiescalendar By pre-ordering or purchasing through this link, all proceeds will go to our local charity Cancer United and there will be a postage charge of £2.99.

These can include Smoke not Burn technology (heated tobacco), nicotine pouches or electronic cigarettes. There is no ‘one size fits all’ solution. For the greatest chance of success, it is advisable to seek specialist support. By visiting a reputable Vape store, you will have the opportunity to discuss your needs and all of the available options.

This will enable you to make an informed choice and offer a greater chance of successful quitting. E-CIGARETTES E-cigarettes can help people quit smoking, with similar or better results than NRT. Like NRT, if you use an e-cigarette too little or too rarely, they will be less successful at stopping smoking, because not enough nicotine is obtained to reduce the urge to smoke. If you want, you can use an e-cigarette together with an NRT product such as a patch. (Source – gov.uk)

HEALTH AND WELLBEING INSIDE ⚪ ⚪ ⚪ ⚪

We Need to Break the Cycle of Domestic Violence Public Health extends beyond physical and mental wellbeing, often involving other areas. Domestic Violence, though primarily a criminal issue, is also a significant health concern. Starting November 25th, the government and Public Health Authorities will launch 16 days of action against DV threats.

Bryan Turner MRPharmS

omestic violence can also be called domestic abuse. It can include all forms of physical abuse, together with emotional and sometimes sexual abuse. It happens in relationships of couples but can also extend to family members. It can happen to anyone, and anybody can become the abuser. The Crime Survey for England and Wales year ending March 2022 estimated that 3.5% of adults aged 16 years and over (2.4 million) experienced domestic abuse in that year. The figures showed that 6.9% of women and 3% of men had experienced domestic abuse. Domestic violence causes many health issues. Chronic pain, increased risk of a stroke and gynecological problems are just some of the adverse physical effects. Victims will often suffer from deteriorating behaviour, such as alcohol and substance abuse, and even self-harm. Mental health effects such as depression are common. DV is also a cause of absenteeism and poor performance at work. This can lead on to money worries, increased social isolation and can also cause housing problems. DV is closely linked to social inequalities across communities. Women living in poverty are particularly likely to

experience the most extensive violence and abuse in their lives. In cultures with ingrained gender inequality, incidence of DV is much higher than in societies where women’s rights and freedoms are recognised. If you think you know someone who is a victim of DV, there are some things that you can do. You can let them know that you have noticed that something might be wrong. They may not be ready to open up about what is happening to them, but you can try to find a quiet time and place for them to talk if they choose to. If they confide in you, you should listen and take care not to blame them for the situation they find themselves in. You should acknowledge that it takes strength to talk about what is happening. Let your friend have time to talk, but don’t try to push them into talking any more than they want to. You should acknowledge that they are in a frightening and difficult situation. Tell them that no-one deserves to be threatened or beaten, despite what has been said or done within the relationship. You should support them as a friend and allow them to make their own decisions. You should not tell them to leave their home or relationship. Such a decision should only be taken by the person themselves. Try to find out if they have suffered any physical harm, and if so, offer to go with them to their GP or to hospital, if appropriate. You can also help them to report what is going on to the Police, if they choose to do so. You can also direct them to further help. For example, West Sussex County Council have teams of domestic abuse advisors. They can be contacted on 0330 222 8181. Monday to Friday 9:00am to 5:00pm. There is also a national 24-hour helpline on 0808 2000 247. If someone is in immediate danger, you should call 999.

Support is also available through local charity - Safe in Sussex 0330 333 7416 If you are worried about someone you know, you can refer them to Safe in Sussex via email: outreach@safeinsussex.org.uk

⚪ ⚪ ⚪ ⚪ INSIDE LOCAL HISTORY

Pity the poor people of Heene! Little Heene today

On a very cold January morning in 1644, General William Waller, stood on the beach at Heene, with a group of armed soldiers, and he was not a happy man. Waller was a General, fighting a war – the English Civil War – he was a General of Parliament, whose dispute with King Charles I had led to bloody conflict breaking out two years earlier.

n this particular day, Waller should have been feeling pleased with himself. He had seen off an incursion into Sussex by the Royalist General, Sir Ralph Hopton, and had chased him back over the border to Hampshire. Across the Christmas and New Year period, Waller had overseen the siege of Arundel Castle (more about that in next month’s edition), forcing the starving royalist garrison to surrender. All should have been well with Waller: here was a General, notching up one success after another. Yet, he was a troubled man. His men had not

The spot where the treasure-laden Spanish merchant ship was beached in January 1644

been paid and they were getting restless. His orders were to pursue Hopton into Hampshire, but unpaid soldiers are not keen to fight, especially in winter. There were also irregular forces – many coming from the puritan bastions of East Sussex, but many of them were unenthusiastic about taking their war to ‘foreign parts,’ such as Hampshire! Waller’s only consolation was that his adversary, Hopton, had even bigger problems. A mutiny had broken out within his army, with the Irish contingent at war with the Cornish one. The Cornishmen, in particular, had no wish to fight in such a

far off place as Sussex, and many of them deserted and made their way back to Cornwall. Which brings us back to that lonely (as it then was) beach to the west of Worthing. In those days, Heene was a large agricultural parish with a tiny population. Most of the residents lived in a wretched hamlet known as ‘Little Heene,’ which today comprises the modern West Worthing residential streets of Thorn Road and Brunswick Road. In the previous century, the forebears of the people at Little Heene, had lived more comfortable lives in cottages dotted around where the

LOCAL HISTORY INSIDE ⚪ ⚪ ⚪ ⚪

Heene Lane circa 1897

current church of St. Botolphs now stands. An observant visitor to that church will see the remains of the old medieval chapel of Heene in the grounds of the present-day Victorian church. During the reign of the wife-murdering King Henry VIII and his self-serving secretary, Thomas Cromwell, a plan was hatched to seize the lands of the church and sell them off for the enriching of the nefarious monarch and his venal henchman. The land at Heene had for centuries being owned by the Abbess of Fecamp, whose bailiff generally dealt fairly and justly with the Heene villagers. Their animals were allowed to roam on common land, they could gather firewood in winter, and they had orchards too, supplying them with fresh fruit in the season. However, Cromwell and his agents soon cast their greedy eyes towards Heene, and the Abbess was dispossessed and her lands seized for the Crown; although not for long. Soon the estate was sold to the wealthy London merchant, Sir John Palmer. The new owner wasted no time in pleasantries, but speedily evicted the tenants, pulled down their cottages and grubbed up their orchards. In naïve hope, the Heene people appealed to the King, through his ‘Star Chamber,’ for redress. Surely, they thought, he, or Cromwell, would give them justice? But their hopes were all in vain, their pleas were dismissed. Sir John Palmer taunted these poor vanquished peasants, “Do ye not know,” he thundered, “that the King’s grace hath put down all houses of monks, friars, and nuns, and therefore, now is the time come when we gentlemen will pull downs the houses of such poor knaves as ye be.” Sir John became richer and richer, as he acquired ever more land, eventually building for himself the great Tudor mansion of Parham House near Storrington, from where he and his descendants lorded it over the surrounding countryside for many generations to come.

Ruins of Heene Chapel

A farmer living at Poling, who had dealings with Sir John, described him as, “beyng corrupt in conscience, and a man minded muche to averyce.” Where did the poor Heene villagers go? They went to the only land in the parish that was of no use to Sir John Palmer, the land so close to the sea, that the waves flooded it in winter, and created a sandy desert in summer, where little would grow. This was the area known as ‘the roughlands,’ which was later corrupted into ‘rowlands,’ and hence, modern-day, Rowlands Road. So it was that these miserable and cruelly ill-used people established their little shanty-town – for that’s what it was – at Little Heene. How did they make a living? If they were lucky, they might be hired to undertake harvest work, or pan for salt, or haul trading boats up the beach. They might even be able to find wood to make a small

vessel of their own to go fishing in, which would, we might believe, be a precarious living. They also survived by their wits and defying the laws. In the eighteenth century, they became notorious as smugglers. In the early nineteenth century, the Worthing Town Commissioners built a wall to keep these ‘poor wretches’ out of the growing and fashionable seaside town. They were not wanted and had been looked down upon and despised for generations. Now, let us return to General Waller, on the beach, somewhere close to where Thorn Road and Brunswick Road reach the sea road today. He was there because a Spanish merchant ship, crammed full of treasures of all kinds, had been driven ashore by winter gales, or chased ashore by privateers, and like a beached whale was languishing on the shingle. Waller had ridden to the scene with his men as soon as the news of the stranded vessel had reached him. Here was an opportunity to salvage this bounty and raise money from the sale of goods to pay his men. However, news also reached him that the people of Heene were swarming all over the vessel, and that they were notorious for scavenging any vessel that came this way, “as was their inhuman custom.” By the time Waller arrived, we can only guess how many precious items had already been stolen away and hidden in some dark recess or hole in the ground. The General, however, was a man of action, and he soon had the vessel under his control. Waller asked parliament for the sale of the vessel’s contents – valued at an extraordinary £50,000 (at least £5m in modern values) – to be, in part at least, used to pay the arrears in wages of his men. Parliament however had other ideas, and Waller had to wait several months for the sum of £4,000 to be earmarked for his mens’ pay. The Heene people, along with other poor, dispossessed folk on the Sussex coast, would continue claiming ‘wrecker’s rights’ for years to come, their practice being celebrated in verse by the seventeenth century poet, Congreve -

As Sussex men, that dwell upon the shore, Look out when storms arise and billows roar, Devoutly praying with uplifted hands, That some well-laden ship may strike the sands, To whose rich cargo they may make pretence And fatten on the spoils of Providence.

Rewilding the Future: Preserving Biodiversity

Protect, restore, and promote the sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems. Sustainably manage forests, combat desertiﬁcation, halt and reverse land degradation, and halt biodiversity loss.

he State of Nature 2023 report, published just a few days before writing this article, makes shocking reading and shows the devastating decline of UK wildlife. Mainly due to development, leading to an increased demand for water and land, and modern farming practices. Nearly one in six of more than 10,000 species assessed are at risk of extinction. The study reveals: • There has been a continual decline in our wildlife, with one in six species at

risk of being lost from Great Britain. The species studied have, on average, declined by 19% in the UK since monitoring began in 1970. Most of the UK’s important habitats for nature are in poor condition.

Many still think of the UK as having rolling countryside and beautiful nature walks. The truth is that the UK is classified as one of the world’s most nature-depleted countries. The term ‘countryside’ just means land that is away from towns and

#LETSSUSITOUT

cities, which includes farmland and open fields that are not beneficial for nature or biodiversity. In order to produce crops, farmers must use tilling, turning, and planting, which degrades organic matter in the soil and its ability to stay hydrated. Chemical pesticides and fertilisers are also used, which further harm the soil and natural biodiversity. What nature needs is diversity: woodland, scrub, marsh, open ditch, tall herbs, rough grassland, hedgerows, marsh, heathland and meadows. We have seen declines in all birds 43%, amphibians and reptiles 31%, fungi and lichen by 28%, and terrestrial mammals 26% since 1970. Much-loved species like the Turtle Dove, Hazel Dormouse, Lady’s Slipper Orchid and European Eel all face a very uncertain future. There have also been declines in our flowering plant species of 54%. Only 20% of our farmers are in schemes that incentivise wildlife on their land, such as the Countryside Stewardship scheme, which offers grants to farmers. Feedback on why there is such a low uptake suggests it is due to poor communication, unattractive payment rates and a system too complex. We have to question the motive and, indeed, the legality of our government’s current abandonment of key Net Zero commitments and its undermining of UK nature protections. Environmental groups have called this a direct attack on nature by our government. Alongside the climate emergency, there is a Nature Emergency. It generates few headlines, but the destruction of our natural environment is further weakening the precious life-support systems we depend on to survive.

The continual rolling back on protections for nature and the issuance of new gas and oil licenses, further increasing emissions, constitute an attack on the rules that protect both people and nature. My partner and I run a tree surgery and landscaping business and recently mowed around a large oval shape in a customer’s lawn to save some rarely seen ‘ladies tresses.’ Although they’re not endangered, we very rarely see them and they are easy to miss, as they merge into the grasses, until their tiny delicate orchid flowers appear in September/October. By explaining and pointing them out to the clients, they were pleased to save them and ensure their appearance again next year. A simple conversation with busy people about something special or unusual in their garden can sometimes be the moment they contemplate the difference they can make by simply not doing something the same way and remind them how important biodiversity is. We always hope this will lead to an appreciation of trees, plants, insects and animals that depend on each other and that humans too often destroy without thinking. While many of us are doing what we can to protect local wildlife and encourage

rewilding, it is devastating to see the government roll back on national protections of both nature and climate change commitments. Some CREW members were able to attend a recent protest outside the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) in September. This was organised following the release of the devastating wildlife report in an attempt to prevent a bleak future with potentially only household pets and cattle. Nature hangs by a thread. It is up to all of us to help save it, not with tidy, neat, and controlled spaces, but with wild, abundant, and beautiful ones. Neighbourhoods can join the Community Road Verge scheme, a new classification for roadside verges in urban areas identified by local communities interested in attracting pollinators. There is also the option to join The Adur & Worthing Wildflower Trail and become a wildflower site. Many local charities and groups are working collaboratively with the council to improve biodiversity. You can search for a project to volunteer for by using the mapping tool on Transition Town Worthing’s (TTW) website: www.ttworthing.org/resources/. If you would like to get involved with like minded people and have a few spare hours a week why not volunteer at CREW’s centre.

Discovering More about

Juliet Somers I Esme Wakeford

n September, Chris Hare wrote an article about the history of Findon’s annual sheep fair, with images from the Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office. One image caught our eye: a mysterious lady engaged in conversation with two shepherds, holding something in her hands. We were left wondering about the story behind the photo. About a week later, while Liana and I were reviewing content, we received a call from Chris Pennels. He identified the lady in the photo as ‘Juliet Somers,’ a portrait artist who was sketching his great-grandfather, George Humphrey, the shepherd on the left side of the photo.

Chris mentioned he had the original picture at his home in Worthing. The next day, we visited Chris to view the original photo. He shared fond memories of his great-grandparents, including George’s work on the farm. Chris had books with circa 1800s sheep fair photos, making Juliet’s sketching of his greatgrandfather even more remarkable. After featuring this in our feedback section, it wasn’t long before another reader, Mike Siggs, reached out to us, offering additional information about Juliet… And it turns out she has quite a story! Somers was actually Juliet’s maiden name. Juliet was born in Hove in 1911. Her father was a professional gambler who went bankrupt, and her mother, according to family legend, had ancestry linked to Shakespeare’s wife, Anne Hathaway. Juliet started painting at the age of three, and by the time she turned 17, she had set her sights on becoming a professional artist. Following her training at Brighton College of Art in the 1920s, she secured her first artistic commission at just 18. This commission involved creating portraits of local Sussex Characters for the ‘Sussex County Magazine,’ which probably accounts for her appearance in the photograph. Later, she married Major Rick Pannett, who had been shot in the face in the First World War. Impressively, the bullet had missed all his bones, leaving him with dimple-like scars through his cheeks and no further damage. Now, the mysterious lady in the photo on Nepcote Green didn’t only come from an interesting background… As it turns out, Juliet Pannett also painted many of the greatest figures of the 20th Century! Before proceedings at the House of Commons were televised, Pannett worked for the Illustrated London News from 1957 to 1964. It was during that period that Juliet Pannett captured one of the most poignant moments in the post-war House of Commons. She sketched Winston Churchill on his very last day in the House of Commons, depicting him as hunched and gaunt at the age of 89, just four months before he passed away. This makes Pannett probably the last artist to capture Churchill before his death in 1964. Juliet Pannett’s portrait work didn’t stop there. She was also appointed to paint portraits of musicians such as Louis Armstrong and Leonard Bernstein, as

DIGGING A BIT DEEPER INSIDE ⚪ ⚪ ⚪ ⚪ 19

well as other composers, film directors, including Jean Cocteau and athletes such as Chris Chataway. Pannett also painted members of the royal family. After completing portraits of Prince Andrew and Prince Edward, she received a commission in 1989 to paint Queen Elizabeth II. On the day of the commission, Pannett and her son Denis, who is also a painter, ensured that the room was set up and ready for the Queen, anticipating a solumn few hours with her. However, it was anything but, as Denis, who lives in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, stated in an article for the BBC, “The Queen chatted non-stop. She was amazing, with lots of stories. She was great fun.” Denis later explained in the article that Juliet preferred when her subjects were talking and in action, as they were easier to capture in a more relaxed state. Pannett enjoyed depicting musicians and ballet dancers in action, never turning down work. As stated in an article in The

to fail her. Not only was she appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 1993 New Year Honours, but she was also named an Honorary Freeman of the Worshipful Company of PainterStainers, who awarded her a gold medal in 1995. Juliet sadly passed away in 2005 at age 94, and at her time of death, she was the oldest living artist to have work in the National Portrait Gallery’s collection. Her husband had passed away in 1980, both her children are artists. Who would have known that this mysterious ‘Juliet Somers,’ photographed on Nepcote Green all those years ago, was actually Juliet Pannett who just happened to be one of the most legendary portrait painters in the United Kingdom?

Guardian, Pannett had expressed, “My friends often made fun of me because every time another sitter would ask for a portrait, I would enthuse, ‘Yes, please’.” Juliet’s last major portrait was of General Sir John Wilsey, as her eyesight began

Their Finest Hour O

n Saturday, 16th September, Lancing Prep at Worthing held a special History Day. This was a Digital Collection Day with the aim of preserving the everyday stories and objects of the Second World War. Other schools might like to run their own events! This is because there is a nationwide campaign organised by Their Finest Hour, a team based at the University of Oxford and funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. We asked the local community to come and share their own stories and objects, whether they were from parents, grandparents, or other family members. The day was a huge success, with 36 stories and countless objects being recorded and over 100 people in attendance across the day. The day started off with BBC Radio Sussex interviewing our very own Ms Melody Bridges (Head of Humanities & Able, Gifted & Talented Events CoOrdinator). The interview went live on air just after 9am, encouraging the local community to get involved. The Deputy Mayor of Worthing, Ibsha Choudhury, then opened the event and said a few words. On the day, we had a fantastic history display board created by Ms Bridges and her pupils. Lancing Brass of the Royal British Legion came along to play second-

world war-themed music, which was a big hit with everyone. The Worthing Society also had a lovely stand in the school hall, speaking with people about the history and architectural amenities of Worthing and the surrounding area. Our school chef, Mr Ronald Bell, also put on a fantastic display of ration-type food, including rationing cake, Lemon Drizzle, and Victoria Sponge, along with the classic fruit scones! We met some wonderful people on the day and heard some touching stories. One that particularly affected us was that of a lady called Margaret, who brought along a photo that was taken in 1942 with her sister Eileen. They were wearing dresses that their mother made from the parachute that saved an airman’s life. Lancing Prep Worthing staff and pupils were on hand throughout the day, helping to run the event and record everyone’s stories. These stories, along with photos of accompanying artefacts, will be uploaded to the Their Finest Hour Digital Library, a national archive helping to preserve stories before they are lost forever. If you would like to run your own event then get in touch with Their Finest Hour at the University of Oxford. You can also get in touch with Lancing Prep at Worthing for advice about how to run your own event.

SALVINGTON MILL INSIDE ⚪ ⚪ ⚪ ⚪

High Salvington Windmill

going strong! The 2023 season has once again seen the mill well supported by visitors from near, far, and wide. The fete, book fair, classic cars show, and the craft fair all attracted good numbers of visitors.

A DIFFERENT VIEW This year, our maintenance team conducted a drone survey of the windmill, capturing unique angles including views from the top and of the drone itself.

THE TRADITIONAL FETE This year’s fete was a fantastic success, following the traditional theme. Organising it involves a lot of work, and we welcome volunteers to contribute as much or as little as they can. The picture shows visitors enjoying various games and entertainment, with the roller coaster and pocket-money games like the wheel of fortune being popular among small children and visitors alike. HELP FOR UKRAINE A group of neighbours organised a plant sale at the windmill in May to raise funds for a Ukrainian refugee’s urgent family matter. Our heartfelt thanks to those who donated and purchased plants during our open afternoons. We are always on the lookout for new volunteers. Whether to serve teas or show visitors round the mill on a couple of Sunday afternoons, or to help with the background work. Please get in touch with us at enquiries@ highsalvingtonmilltrust.co.uk if you’d like to be involved.

one of these events could take place without our volunteers. No teas would be served, no delicious homemade cakes would be savoured, no tours could take place, and no £1 entry fees would be collected. All these jobs and more are carried out by our army of volunteers, and we offer them all a hearty thank you. We maintain the mill primarily for flour milling. Unfortunately, acquiring grain has become challenging as we can only buy it in large quantities without adequate storage or milling facilities. However, we’ve been fortunate to obtain a manageable amount from Burton Mill. This year, with experienced millers guiding newcomers, we’ve resumed milling after a long hiatus and will continue whenever possible. The essential ingredients for a successful milling day are wind, grain, and available millers. Did you know that our mill has a dedicated team of archivists led by Wendy Funnell? They meticulously care for collected artifacts and documents, documenting the mill’s history. They meet most Monday mornings at the gatehouse and have set up an exhibition inside the granary for visitors to enjoy. The Board is pleased to announce that Councillor Henna Chowdhury has joined, along with Councillors Richard Nowak and Elizabeth Sparkes, as our link to the Borough Council, who own the mill. The High Salvington Windmill Trust is currently responsible for maintaining and running this heritage site.

Please note that flying drones over the windmill without permission is strictly prohibited. The Civil Aviation Authority mandates a minimum 150m distance from residential, recreational, commercial, and industrial areas. We respect our neighbours’ privacy, and drone flying is allowed only with our express permission. The maintenance team has worked hard this year to achieve the usual maintenance tasks of cleaning, painting, mowing, setting up and closing the mill on open days, and general upkeep, and they have also made a start on building a store behind the long barn. This allows us to store open day furniture, freeing the granary for our exhibition boards

BOOKS This year for the usual book fair we decided to invite local authors to display their publications at the open day in June that we traditionally dedicate to our second-hand book stall, so ably run by Angela McMillan. Around 20 authors came along on a fine but breezy afternoon. Although not many sales were made, the authors were able to talk about their work with interested visitors. VACANCIES ON THE TEAM – WOULD ANY OF THESE SUIT YOU? Angela Stephens, our private tours organiser, coordinated multiple tours this summer for various groups, including schools, photographers, walking groups, U3A, and more. This voluntary role involves group coordination, volunteer recruitment, and tour assistance. After two years, Angela intends to pass on the role but will continue to provide support as required. We need a Company Secretary. If you are a retired solicitor, accountant, or other professional, this could be the perfect role for you. The tasks are not onerous but need to be done properly and professionally. Please contact Lucy Brooks (email lucindafbrooks@outlook.com) if you can help.

after some repairs. Early in the season, a small team fixed a broken slat on one of the sweeps, involving equipment and organisation, although it may seem simple.

Hi Folks, As a bit of a change, I have buried myself in some of the history books of Broadwater and come up with what I hope you will find, a few fascinating facts about our village. Did you know that pre 1066, as William the Conqueror stepped aboard his ship to lead his army for a landing, just along the coast from here, at Hastings, that Broadwater was owned by the Saxon Lord – Wigot of Wallingham. He was a kinsman of Edward the Confessor but (a bit of double dealing here) changed his allegiance after William won and arranged for his daughter to marry one of William’s kinfolk. In 1086 our village had 37 inhabitants! Worthing numbers were non existent! Cissbury Hill overlooking us is a Saxon name meaning “Last Stronghold” possibly

a reference to the Saxon King Cissa. There were beacons raised up there in 1587, as part of the defences against the expected Spanish Armada. In 1575, the earliest known map of Sussex did not show Worthing at all, but our Broadwater and Terringe (the old name of Tarring) were shown in larger names than Somptinge or Launcynge (Lancing) or Fyndon. Until 1890, Worthing was shown as a part of the parish of Broadwater! Around 1850, the gap between our village and Worthing had been partly filled, but by 1960 the gap was filled with homes and glass houses growing mainly tomatoes. By 1698, there was an Inn in Broadwater which by 1796 became the Maltsters, then in 1828 was renamed to the The Millwrights Arms and then back to Maltsters and changed to its present name in 1989 to The Broadwater. More to follow next month, Eric Mardell, President, Broadwater Community Association

SPORTS INSIDE ⚪ ⚪ ⚪ ⚪

Worthing still up to win the cup Robinson’s brace secures rite of passage for Rebels over local rivals Whitehawk into the fourth qualifying round of the FA Cup...

30 league positions separated Worthing FC and their fellow Sussex non-league opposition, Whitehawk, as they met at the Sussex Transport Community Stadium for the third qualifying round of the FA Cup on September 30th. For much of the first half, you might have been easily fooled into thinking that it was Whitehawk who were the higherranked team, as they threatened the Worthing defence on multiple occasions in quick counterattacks. Home supporters’ anxiety rose tremendously during the early exchanges, almost becoming palpable a little later in the first half when Kane Wills was forced to make a last-ditch header off the Rebels’ goal line to prevent the Hawks taking an early advantage. Unfortunately, the Reds’ deepest fears would materialise in the 17th minute when Rebels’ keeper, Roco Rees, fumbled a headed back pass from defender Cameron Tutt. The ensuing mess was pounced on by Ben Pope, forcing Rees’s outstretched arm to make contact with the Whitehawk attacker, leaving the referee no other option but to award a penalty. The Hawks’ top scorer so far this season, Charlie Walker, calmly slotted home the spot kick to give his side the early advantage. Worthing’s woes continued, and the visitors were unlucky not to double their advantage soon after, only being prevented by yet another goal line clearance, this time courtesy of full-back Joe Felix. Periods of possession coloured Worthing’s first half, but they rarely threatened Mitch Walker’s goal. Heading into the break, it was clearly the visitors who were in the ascendency, with both sets of players heading into their respective dressing rooms with

contrasting emotions. For Hawk’s manager Shaun Saunders, you would imagine the message was to carry on doing what they had been doing, whereas there would have been a lot of soulsearching in the home dressing room. Manager, Adam Hinshelwood, had seen enough and decided to tweak the shape of his side for the second half. For all the annoyance Hinshelwood must have felt at his side’s first-half performance, the second-half showing surely must have been the perfect tonic to any frustration. By adjusting to a three-atthe-back formation, it allowed his more creative players, like Joe Felix and Ricky Aguiar, the license to push further forward to inflict damage on the Hawks’ defence. The adjustment appeared to have an almost instant impact, with Luca Woodhouse placing a devilishly threatening ball right across the bowels of the Hawks’ defence, just begging for a red shirt to get the final touch, which

never quite came. It was a harbinger of things to come though, as wave after wave of attack was unleashed upon a rather weary-looking Hawks defence, appearing as if their backs were well and truly against the wall. Ricky Aguiar would be the next to take aim at Mitch Walker’s goal, forcing the visiting keeper to parry his effort right into the path of number 9 Jake Robinson, who couldn’t convert the relatively simple (that is compared to the one he would take a few moments later) shot across goal. Like any good striker, Robinson cleared his mind quickly, brilliantly converting a delightful chip from Greg Luer in style as his scorpion kick put the Rebels back on level terms. In this moment, the difference in league positions began to tell for the two sides. It was beginning to seem like a matter of when Worthing would take the lead rather than if. Sure enough, the home contingent only had to wait a few minutes when the rebound from Joe Felix’s 25yard effort drew a rash challenge which would bring down Bailey Smith in the penalty area. Up stepped the man of the moment, Jake Robinson, once more to dispatch the penalty with ease to complete his side’s comeback. From then on, there was no looking back for Worthing. Their style of football grew in confidence and stature as the late minutes ticked away at the end of the match. They continued their remorseless onslaught upon the Hawk’s goal, ensuring that their somewhat frustrated first-half fan following went home with a smile on their faces. Their victory on this Saturday earned another home tie in the final qualifying round of this season’s FA Cup against Bath City on Saturday 14th October. Next on the agenda however, was another home fixture against Truro City in the league the following Saturday afternoon.

London Classic Theatre’s production of Faith Healer concludes its national tour in Worthing SYNOPSIS: Frank Hardy has a gift. A gift of healing. A frayed banner hangs outside a desolate village hall as the sick, suffering, and desperate seek restoration from the wind and rain. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, Hardy and his wife, Grace, journey to remote parts of Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, accompanied by manager Teddy. They travel from village to village, blending theatricality and spirituality in an unpredictable mix. Using four monologues to interweave the stories of these three characters, Friel takes us on an extraordinary journey of shifting perspectives and uncertain memories. ‘Faith Healer’ is at the Connaught Theatre for one night only on Friday 17th November from 7:30pm London Classic Theatre presents FAITH HEALER by Brian Friel Cast: Paul Carroll (Frank), Gina Costigan (Grace), Jonathan Ashley (Teddy) Directed by Michael Cabot; Designed by Bek Palmer; Lighting by Matthew Green Following Abigail’s Party’s success, London Classic Theatre presents a new tour of Brian Friel’s masterpiece, Faith Healer, directed by Michael Cabot. The cast includes Paul Carroll (Frank), Gina Costigan (Grace), and Jonathan Ashley (Teddy), with designs by Bek Palmer and lighting by Matthew Green. Faith Healer premiered at the Longacre Theatre, New York, in 1979 and then at London’s Royal Court Theatre in 1981. London Classic Theatre’s tour begins at the New Vic Theatre, Newcastle-under-Lyme, on September 5th, visiting nineteen more UK and Ireland venues, before concluding at Connaught Theatre, Worthing, on November 17th. Michael Cabot, Artistic Director of London Classic Theatre, expressed his enthusiasm for the play, calling it a masterpiece: “I’ve wanted to direct Faith Healer for many years. It’s such a wonderful, complex piece of writing, with beautifully realised characters and Brian Friel’s remarkable use of language. It draws you in, surprises, intrigues and, ultimately, takes your breath away. I’m working on the show with my long-term collaborator, set and costume designer Bek Palmer, and I’m very excited about her vision for the play. We have assembled a cast of three extraordinary actors, Paul Carroll, Gina Costigan and Jonathan Ashley, with whom I’m delighted to be working. Faith Healer is one of the great plays of the twentieth century, arguably Friel’s masterpiece.”

I am writing to express my appreciation for the beautifully written article titled “We Need to Break the Addiction to Junk Food,” on page 4 of the Inside Worthing issue. I really like the way Mr. Bryan Turner, the author, takes a deeper look at how we are getting hooked on junk food. He makes a strong point by comparing how people ate in the 1950s to how we eat now, explaining why obesity is on the rise. More importantly, Mr. Turner suggests that through proper education and reorientation, we can guide individuals toward healthier eating habits. I so agree and can totally resonate with this article as I used to be addicted to junk food and when I changed my eating habits, my health and entire life transformed. Lenka Pagan, Nutritional Therapist

RING NOW ON

Dear Liana I would like to draw your attention to statistics used in the ‘We need to break the addiction to junk food’ article. The article states over 60% of adults in the UK are obese which is inaccurate. Most recent statistics published Dec 2022 are 25.9% with a further 37.9 % overweight. I wonder if 60% was referring to a combined figure? Best Wishes Andrea Response from Bryan: Yes, I should have said “overweight or obese” to be strictly true. It is a composite figure. Bryan
