Energy savings for Horsham District residents in rural areas The Warmer Homes Consortium will provide energy efficient upgrades to hundreds of homes across the Horsham District to help local residents save money on energy bills thanks to a funding award from the Government.

The consortium is a partnership of 23 local authority partners including Horsham District Council, and is led by Portsmouth City Council, who have joined forces to promote energy efficiency and provide support to struggling households across their areas.

The funding has been received through the Home Upgrade Grant, which is a government scheme to improve the energy efficiency of vulnerable and low-income homes that do not have gas central heating, typically often homes in rural areas. The money will go towards improvements such as insulation, air source heat pumps, solar panels and heating controls and can save households up to £400 a year on energy bills.

The funding award is a welcome addition to the support the consortium has been able to offer during the current energy and cost of living crisis. It will both tackle fuel poverty and make progress towards achieving net zero emissions by 2050.

The funding will be available from April 2023 until March 2025 and will act as a continuation of the support already available via Warmer Homes (www.warmerhomes.org.uk ). which has already helped hundreds of homes and delivered thousands of pounds in lifetime bill savings to date.

Households on a low income, which have a poor energy rating and do not have mains gas central heating are encouraged to apply.

Private rental households will need landlord consent and contribution towards the cost.

The Steyning Bells in 1895

A main source for this article is the ‘Bell News And Ringers’ Record’ subtitled a ‘Weekly Journal of the Ringing Exercise; and Compendium of Information for the Clergy and Churchwardens.’

This national paper was priced at a penny. Its pages advertised the country’s bell founders, bell hangers and chime rope manufacturers.

These advertisements featured illustrations of church towers with the names listed of the churches and cathedrals that various long established firms had cast and hung bells for. Other advertisements featured foundries that cast hand bells as well as composers of hand bell music, along with the hand bell music they had already composed. The weekly journal also featured notices, written compositions and listed the bell ringers at various churches in the county as well as the associations they belonged to. The church services and any special events that bell ringers had attended were also listed.

The paper carried a list of the vacancies for where new members were wanted to keep the church bells ringing, so was also the publication, which anyone interested in becoming a bell ringer would read.

‘Bell News No. 665.Vol.13’ dated Saturday the 5th of January 1895, featured the news that the Sussex County Association, Steyning Branch had met at the parish church of St Andrew and St Cuthman on Thursday the 27th of December 1894. In two hours and fifty-three minutes, the bell ringers had rung a peal of Stedman Triples as a birthday compliment to their colleague George Gatland to wish him many happy returns.

Charles Smart conducted the session that was attended by guests William J Allis and Charles Tyler from the Henfield branch. The other ringers, all local men from Steyning, were Edwin Rapley, John Smart, William Woolgar and Arthur Gatland. Charles Smart lived in Church Street and John Smart, the High Street, Steyning. It is not known if they are related to Alfred Smart, the High Street chemist and Frederick Smart who ran the

6

pharmacy from 1902. Frederick was a keen photographer and offered by a postal film processing service from the pharmacy.

The price of Bell News had increased to two pence when No. 669 was distributed on the 2nd of February 1895. The Sussex County Association, Steyning Branch was reported to have held its annual supper on Tuesday the 15th of January at the Norfolk Arms, Church Street, Steyning. It was estimated there were up to forty guests present at the meal including the Reverend Arthur Pridgeon, the vicar of the church of St Andrew and St Cuthman, Steyning from 1882 to 1907. His wife was Jessie Sarah Congreve-Pridgeon and they had married in Hove on the 19th of April 1882.

Arthur Pridgeon was born in 1855 in Sleaford, Lincolnshire. Arthur Pridgeon died in Steyning in 1918 aged 63. The stained glass artist Christopher Whall (1849-1924) made a twolight stained glass window in the church in memory of Arthur. Whall was a leader of the Arts and Craft movement and a key figure in the history of stained glass. Jessie CongrevePridgeon’s birth date is unknown she was born in Peckham, London. Jessie died on the 15th of February 1944 and was buried in the

The Steyning Bells in 1895 cont’d church of St Andrew and St Cuthman.

Also in attendance at the dinner was Mr. Duke, who was chairman of the churchwardens. (A Mr Duke of Charlton House, Steyning was also a member of the Sussex Archaeological Society.) A guest was Mr G. F. Attree, who was the Master of the Sussex Association.

Other guests were visitors from other branches of the association. Messrs. Smart of St. Peter’s, Brighton, Alliss of Henfield, Chandler of Shermanbury, Searle of Upper Beeding, Meetens of Heene and Mr Wadey of Billingshurst. At the end of the dinner Mr Duke gave the toast of “The Queen.”

The Rev. Pridgeon proposed a toast to “The Steyning Ringers and Mr. Duke then proposed the health of “The Visitors.” Mr Attree gave a speech and said it gave him

great pleasure to be present on that occasion with the Steyning band, as he found at any time when visiting Steyning they were always ready to welcome anyone who might visit them.

After the toasts had been made the evening was spent listening to songs, recitations and hand bells by the Steyning branch.

The hand bell ringers fared better that evening than they had done earlier in the afternoon when a peal of Stedman Triples had gone wrong after passing the halfway single, owing to a change-course.

At eleven o’clock a cordial and pleasant evening was ended with the singing of the National Anthem.

The Hillside Scout Campsite in Small Dole?

Have you ever camped at the Hillside Scout Campsite in Small Dole?

The campsite was established in 1936 and has been used by Scouts and many other youth groups from East and West Sussex ever since. Today it continues to provide an excape from the urban environment, giving youngsters the opportunity to enjoy the countyside and camping experience.

Over the years this 21 acre site has been upgraded from a metal tin hut to a brick-built training room, a purpose built Bunkhouse and kitchen, along with new toilets and showers.

The Chairman would like to hear from anyone who used the site in the 1940's 50's and 60's to help create an archive of what the site once looked like and what memories they

Tree planted to commemorate the coronation of King Charles III Horsham District Council has planted a Common Lime tree (Tilia europaea) to mark the coronation of King Charles III this May.

The tree, planted by Horsham District Council Cabinet Member for Leisure and Culture Cllr Roger Noel and Cabinet Member for Horsham Town Cllr Tony Hogben, has been positioned in Horsham Park just yards away from another Common Lime tree, which the Council planted in March 2022 to mark the Platinum Jubilee of Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and as part of the national Queen’s Green Canopy campaign.

Cllr Noel commented:

“Planting a tree to mark the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III will leave a lasting legacy.

“Trees are not only aesthetically beautiful for everyone to enjoy, but they also support our wildlife, provide cleaner air, reduce pollution levels and help tackle the effects of climate change.

“The new trees will bring all these benefits for 10

future generations.”

The Common Lime (Tilia europaea) is a native species, which is rare in the wild. It makes a stately tree when fully grown and can reach 30 metres in height. It is good for wildlife, being a food plant for many insects which in turn provide food for hoverflies, ladybirds and birds. The flowers provide nectar and pollen for insects, particularly bees.

The tree planting ceremony was attended

by Cllrs Roger Noel, Tony Hogben and Ruth Fletcher with members of the Council’s Parks and Countryside team and Friends of Horsham Park.

The Steyning Centre, Fletchers Croft, BN44 In this talk we’ll examine the emergence of Pop Art in Britain and the USA as a reaction to the dominance of Abstract Expressionism and the rise of consumer culture in the post-war period. We’ll look at both the celebratory and critical aspects of Pop Art. Here was a new art inspired by the popular artefacts generated by a new consumer culture of: cars, home appliances, comic books, the celebrity glamour of pop stars and film stars, science fiction, the junk we throw away, and the junk we eat: hamburgers and American pie.

Artists covered include Eduardo Paolozzi, Richard Hamilton, Peter Blake, Allen Jones, David Hockney, Pauline Boty, Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, Andy Warhol, Ray Lichtenstein, Marisol, Claes Oldenburg, Robert Indiana, James Rosenquist, and Tom Wesselman.

Negative Space There are many ways to compose a photograph to make it appealing to the viewer.

With my street photography I like to place a single figure close to the edge of the frame. I feel that it adds drama and tension to the scene as a split second later, the figure would be gone and just the background would be left in shot.

The image here makes use of negative space.

This is the area that surrounds the main subject or focal point (the positive space) that can isolate and emphasise that subject and also give a sense of place. I also happen to like the colour of the background here. That blue sets off the straw hat. There is also something else going on here as regards the design. The majority of the space consists of verticals but this is broken up by the diagonals in the centrally placed service

door and four horizontal hinge straps.

Negative space in art and photography is related to minimalist art. It simplifies an image and helps to direct the eye towards the main subject and is often a single colour with little detail but it can also have a design of its own as in my image here.

In this case I found the background doors and waited for a passing figure to complete the image before pressing the shutter button.
