Celebrating Corpus Christi in Arundel By Josie Gilbert
extremely popular, with coach loads of visitors arriving in the town each year. On Corpus Christi itself, a mass is heard by the Bishop, at the end of which he walks over the carpet of flowers and then leaves the building. He follows London Road, accompanied by a procession and then enters the grounds of Arundel Castle, where Benediction is held.
Arundel - Corpus Christi - 11th June 1936
The feast of Corpus Christi is a solemn celebration of the belief that the body and blood of Christ is present in reality during the Eucharist. For over a hundred years, the service in the Catholic cathedral in Arundel, West Sussex has been accompanied a carpet of flowers, which is laid along the nave from the door of the church running towards the altar. Evergreen leaves are first placed on the tiled floor and the flowers are added on top by a group of very enthusiastic and dedicated volunteers. Each year there is a theme for the design of the carpet. Last year it was the "Year of Mercy," as declared by the Pope. Flower arrangements are also placed around the church at strategic points, such as the font, the altar and the side chapel. The festival is one of those moveable feasts, whose date is calculated according to when Easter falls in the year. This year, Corpus Christi will be celebrated on Thursday 15th June. The public will be able to watch the carpet being laid on Tuesday 13th June and the finished work can then be viewed the following day and on the Thursday Arundel - Corpus Christi Carpet of flowers in the before Mass is held, but Cathedral obviously without walking over the flower pavement. The event is, in fact,
This tradition of the carpet of flowers was started by Henry Fitzalan-Howard, the 15th Duke of Norfolk, during the 19th century. He had seen similar floral decorations during his tour of Italy and decided to establish something similar in Arundel. He was also the Duke responsible for the building of the cathedral, which was designed by Joseph Hansom, who later designed the Hansom cab. The cathedral was originally dedicated to St. Philip Neri, who was the founder of the Oratory order. When the Diocese of Arundel and Brighton was created in 1965, the building was rededicated to Our Lady and St. Philip. The dedication was changed again in 1973 to St. Philip Howard, who was created a saint in 1970, as one of the English Catholic Martyrs. He had been imprisoned by Queen Elizabeth I for being a Catholic and although he was given the opportunity of being released provided he converted to Anglicanism, he declined to do so. As a result, he spent the last ten years of his life in the Tower of London where he is believed to have died from dysentery. His remains are now buried in a side chapel of the cathedral, where there is also a statue of him and his dog.

Arundel Beer Houses
By local historian Rupert Brooks In the days when well water was dangerous to drink due to pollution from sewage, beer was produced from the infusion of barley and boiled for an hour or so to make it safe to drink. The Victory Inn is now a private Arundel - with its own House in Bond Street Swallow Brewery in Bridge Street (now Queens Street) run by the Constable family and the malthouse on the opposite side run by the Puttoks as “Maltsters� - was a sailor's paradise. Beer was brewed in back rooms of cottages too and memories of the old beer-houses in the town have long faded. The town still has its ale houses (to drink on and off the premises) with The Swan, Norfolk Arms, The Eagle and others (seven all together). How many residents can remember the old beer houses by name or where they were located, in some instances captured by a name like the name Sailors Cottage in River Road to remind us of The Jolly Sailors run by Peg -leg Hulls or The Ship & Lighter Cottage near the town quay now lost with a house name change.
Local History

The two oldest 16th century buildings (long closed as drinking places) without licence records The Crown and The George are remembered by their location at each end of the High Street. Now I am listing those which closed at the beginning of the 20th century but recalled by older residents whom I interviewed, remembering as a boy age four years, how his grandfather had sampled beer at The Hare The Heart in Hand now the and Hounds. Naming one Lavender Shop in Tarrant St. that ceased trading in 1908, where was it located? Can readers locate others such as: Bakers Arms, Brewers Arms with John Burton as licensee in 1863, Queen Arms (a private house now so named), The Heart in Hand, The Victory, The White Horse, The Bear or sometimes named The Black Bull, the Newburgh Arms, The Wheatsheaf, The Plough and Sail, The Chestnut, the Carpenters Arms, the Bricklayers Arms. What is so rewarding is that the buildings that these old premises once occupied are still here and can be found when walking around the town.

Pets of the Month This month The Cat & Rabbit Rescue Centre is hoping to re-home two seven-month old kittens who arrived with their mother and littermates aged just one month, having been found as strays. Both are a little nervous of people but are playful and will interact with the Centre’s staff when playing., but need a home with someone who is patient and who has time to give them the confidence they need – because of this they would be best suited to a calm quiet home with older or no children. The Centre has a Viewing Day on Saturday 27th May from 12-2pm, when anyone thinking of adopting a cat can go along without an appointment. Otherwise the Centre re-homes seven days a week by appointment only.

The event will also serve to raise awareness about dementia and will encourage people to talk about the disease. The charity is encouraging people to host Dine for Dementia throughout the year, however with National Dementia Awareness week taking place 15th – 21st May, this is an ideal fundraising event that anyone can hold to raise money for dementia.

Have Your Say We have the County Council elections coming up on 6th of May to elect County Councillors to West Sussex County Council. As it’s a run up to an election I won’t be political, the only thing I would say is whichever party you vote for, just ensure you do vote, it does make a difference and you should also hold the various candidates to their promises. If you have a busy lifestyle or live some distance from the polling station you can register for a postal vote, or a proxy vote, by telephoning 01903 737616. The latest on the bypass is that Highways England has sent out a circular letter confirming that Public Consultation on the various route options will start this summer; subject to consultation there will be an announcement on the preferred route by winter of 2017/18. A statutory Public Consultation on the preferred route will follow in spring 2018 with construction starting in 2020 and the route opening to traffic by 2022. It’s important that everyone has their say, so if you have a view then I would urge you to engage. I know that Arundel Town council plans to organise a public meeting with an objective Chairman from the community some time in the summer/autumn. It’s all change at the Town Council with Cllr Angela
SUSSEX LOCAL Standing becoming the new Mayor, thanks goes to James Stewart for his hard work and dedication over the last two year and I wish Angela the best of luck in her new role. Arun District Council is set to launch a new scheme to make it easier for residents to dispose of broken or unwanted small electrical and electronic equipment.

The collections will be phased in across the district, allowing residents to recycle electrical items “no larger than a standard-sized carrier bag” on the same weekly collection as, although separately to, the refuse collection. Items need to be kept separate and not placed in with the recycling or rubbish collection.

etch… MasterChef Winner Steven Edwards Launches Brighton Restaurant Steven Edwards; "There is a gap in the market for someone to do for Sussex what Rick Stein has done for the Southwest". Steven Edwards is a busy man, in just over three weeks time the youngest ever winner of MasterChef: The Professionals, will realise what must be every chef’s dream - the launch of his first restaurant. Opening its doors on 24th March, ‘etch’ is already fully booked for the first few Fridays and Saturdays. In fact, Steven Edwards who – despite his stellar rise through the culinary ranks – comes across as a down to earth and pragmatic man – confesses to being “a bit taken aback,” when ‘etch’ had gathered 500 reservations by the fourth day of the booking system going live.

Born in Oxford, Steven grew up in Windsor and says that the idea of being a chef was not a childhood dream. He had always enjoyed eating and tasting everything his mother cooked, describing himself as being “excited about food and replicating tastes.”When asked if there is one meal that takes him back to those days he is unequivocal – “Shepherd’s pie, ” is his ultimate comfort food after a long day in the kitchen. At school he did Home Economics but it wasn’t until he was fourteen, “quite late”, that a school careers advisor suggested he might want to be a chef. Initially, Steven’s parents were against his career choice. “They’d both worked in the industry – dad as waiter and general manager and mum as a housekeeper. So they knew all about the long hours and hard work.” In an effort to deter Steven his father used his contacts, sending his son up to London to work in the kitchens of Paul Rankin and Gary Rhodes. Rather than deter, Steven’s experiences there had the opposite effect. Following training with leading chefs, such as Raymond Blanc and Chris Wheeler, Steven moved to Sussex in 2008 joining a new team at country house hotel South Lodge, under Michelin starred chef Matt Gillan. Then came MasterChef: The Professionals. At first, when Lewis Hamblett, South Lodge’s executive chef, asked if he wanted to enter, Steven said no. “I already had my dream job, I was Head Chef in a five star hotel.” But Lewis Hamblett, it seemed

28 Local People
wasn’t taking no for an answer. “Lewis forced me to take part,’ says Steven. “He has always believed in me and he literally filled in the application form for me.” Lewis’s faith paid off and Steven’s own worries that he might go out in the first round proved unfounded as, one of the programme’s youngest competitors, he went on to win the competition. An achievement that he describes, unsurprisingly, as “career-changing.” Following Masterchef the offers came rolling in – calls from restaurateurs asking him to head up their kitchens, from investors wanting to set up restaurants and organisations offering him development opportunities. The impact on his life was dramatic, he had to get an agent and found he was spending part of the week at South Lodge and the other part out around the country promoting. Steven describes the year after MasterChef as a “whirlwind” and he doesn’t think he had a single day off. Despite the deluge of offers coming in, Steven didn’t make his mind up in a hurry – he used that year to test out what he wanted to do. What he did realise was that, much as he’d loved his job, going back to South Lodge was no longer a challenge. But if it was a challenge Steven was looking for, opening his own restaurant delivered: “It was a lot harder than I’d thought. Money brings other personalities.” But Steven was focussed; he wanted his business plan, his decisions and vision - it would be, after all, Steven Edwards’ name above the door. Keen to find people who shared his values and passion, he sought investors who wanted to invest for the love of it. As he says, “ If you want to make money, invest in the stock market, don’t open a restaurant.” He found ten local business entrepreneurs, whom he describes as “brand ambassadors” for the restaurant. However, having the business plan and money in place was only the start, Steven still had to find premises. Meantime, following requests to do dinner parties and pop-ups, Steven and his business partner set up
SUSSEX LOCAL ‘etchfood,’ which, in its first twothree years did around 100 days of pop-ups (what Steven describes as “simpler versions of the restaurant”), in venues such as Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire and Nyetimber Vineyard in West Sussex. All the while, Steven was looking for the right premises for a restaurant. At first his search covered the southeast, including London – but he narrowed it to Brighton. It had, he felt, a certain draw: that people who had been to his pop-ups, say in Leeds, would be willing to travel to an accessible, seaside city like Brighton for a weekend and visit his restaurant. Having decided on Brighton it took him two years to find the right premises. ‘etchfood’ will continue to provide pop-ups and home dining experiences alongside the restaurant - they are, Steven says, still very popular. Which is easy to believe; the home dining experience involves a team turning up at your house with not only fabulous food but also all crockery, cutlery, glassware and wine to match, serving and cleaning down afterwards, ensuring the guests are entertained and the host enjoys a stress free evening.

30 Local People / Finance So why ‘etch’? Naming the restaurant was tricky, Steven wanted something modern, catchy, and when the word ‘etch’ came up in conversation it seemed to encapsulate Steven’s vision – to deliver a dining experience etched on diners’ minds. A concept cleverly reinforced by the restaurant’s strapline: imprint – define – impress. Steven Edwards is clearly passionate about delivering an unforgettable dining experience, and his menus feature pared-down, but enticing, descriptions of dishes based around the seasons and local produce. Interestingly for such a lauded chef - Michel Roux Jnr described Steven’s food as “lovely … expertly cooked… fault-free” –Steven believes that food is just thirty percent of the dining experience, fifty percent is service and the rest is the wine list and staff who can talk knowledgably about a dish. Diners at ‘etch’ may well find one of their dishes brought to their table by the chef himself, explaining the dish, its origins and where key ingredients have come from. Focussing on the freshest produce from the local region is another of Steven’s passions and he feels “one hundred percent,” that: “Sussex offers everything we need – fresh fish and seafood, and the South Down’s fantastic lamb and venison. There is a gap in the market for someone to do for Sussex what
Rick Stein has done for the Southwest. Not only for food suppliers but also for wine producers.” So, what’s next for Steven Edwards? With what appears to be his usual focus and drive, for now Steven is concentrating on ‘etch.’ Not that he’s ruling out future expansion, it’s just not something he’s thinking about at present. Although, he says that if he does expand it would probably be a different venture, perhaps a pub, which would offer a different style of menu – possibly a chance to taste Steven’s version of his favourite Shepherd’s pie?

Voluntary Taxes By Richard Cohen FPFS ACII MCSI Chartered Financial Planner People often complain about tax but many are in practice, voluntary. I’m not suggesting taking illegal actions, such as not declaring income so you don’t pay income tax or “paying cash” to avoid VAT, I’m talking about the simple legal steps that can be taken to eliminate certain taxes altogether – take Capital Gains Tax (CGT) for example. Most people only come across CGT a few times in their lives - they make a gain, pay the tax and grumble. However, with simple planning it may be avoided altogether. Everyone has a CGT allowance and can make gains of up to £11,300 in any tax year without paying any tax, the mistake people make is realising more than that by not planning the sale of an asset properly. For example, let’s imagine you invested £100,000 in the ABC UK Equity Fund two years ago and it is now worth £120,000. If you sell your investment in one go, the gain you have made will be £8,700 over the allowance and you will have a tax bill of between £870 and £1,740, based on your individual circumstances. However, if you sell half of the investment
this tax year and the other half next year both gains would be under the allowance and there would be no tax to pay. Furthermore, if you are married, you can transfer the asset into joint names before selling it and then you have two lots of the allowance. But what if you really like that fund and don’t want to sell out of UK Equities just for the sake of taxation? You can either sell the fund and buy it back in a month’s time (although you run the risk of missing out on growth in the month you don’t hold it) or sell the current fund and with a bit of research, buy a similar UK equity fund. Either way the gain is under your combined allowance so there is no tax to pay and the acquisition cost of the new investment is now £120,000, so any further gains will be based on this. All of this is completely legal and shows how voluntary some taxes are. For more details visit www.nsurefinancial.co.uk or to arrange a free review please call 01903 821010

A27 Bypass - Tortington Route “Would Impact Wildlife” Dear Editor Many proponents of an A27 bypass through Tortington Common have dismissed environmental damage as trivial. These arguments do not consider the impact it has on wildlife. A dual carriageway creates a barrier that animals cannot cross, splitting the woodland, and leaving creatures on either side trapped in a greatly reduced habitat. They may be cut off from food, water or shelter and, without the ability to roam, they will die. If they can eke out a short term existence, their ability to survive floods or droughts is dramatically reduced. Worst of all major highways force wildlife into isolated island groups that cannot mix with other populations, thus weakening the gene pool. Isolation creates vulnerability to disease and genetic disorders. Over time the population cannot survive. We read about habitat loss and species extinction elsewhere. This is precisely the sort of thing that causes it. Tortington Common is part of South Downs National Park. A National Park, according to the National Parks website, is to “conserve and enhance the natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage” of an area. A bypass greatly conflicts with that objective. There are always reasons to chip away at protected areas; to-
Deer at the edge of Tortington Common (c) Jean Norton
day it’s a bypass, tomorrow it will be house building or a bit of fracking, and before long, the land and wildlife we wanted to conserve for future generations has disappeared under a sea of concrete. If we care about these things, the only option for the A27 is the set of inline improvements proposed under the Purple Route. It addresses the “pinch points” along the existing road and improves traffic flow, without violating our National Park or endangering animals. In Arundel we are fortunate to have deer, badger, foxes, weasels, dormice and a wide variety of bird life right on our doorstep. Let’s not ruin that. Jean Norton, Arundel resident. Is the online route the answer? info@sussexlocal.net

36 Gardening
In Your Garden Monthly gardening ideas and tasks by Andrew Staib of Glorious Gardens A really helpful thing to help you with the exercises below is to time limit them. They can be quite powerful and in my experience if I give myself, say 5 minutes on any one, then I can concentrate without the fear of being overwhelmed by the new things that are happening inside me.
“Being” in our garden As a garden designer I try to create meaningful spaces for people. An intimate seating area, abundant colour combinations or a calm glade. Each place that I apply my attention to needs to serve different functions and some of those functions are often not just physical but spiritual. For example, a path might be needed to get a person from A to B. But alongside that function one can create a mini life journey for a client: a curved path that slows our walking pace to help us calm down, a beautiful focal point like a Greek vase which might symbolise something beautiful we are heading towards in life, not just earning enough to pay the bills. The path might enter a canopy of small trees that makes us feel held and protected by nature or the path might disappear and reappear allowing us to feel the sense of mystery that our lives are not mapped out and predictable.
1) Close your eyes and start by listening to all the different sounds you can hear. At first you may hear a crow calling out, a car driving by or kids next door. See if you can gently separate the cause of the noises from their actual sounds. Eg a man coughing in the next garden becomes a rough barking sound, an insect becomes a low hum. The more you do this the more the sounds reduce to their pure form less attached to the meanings and origins we give them. Your experience can become more orchestral. In this state of mind there is no good or bad sounds just the different vibrations. 2) Focus on your breathing. This exercise never ceases to fascinate me. By concentrating on the area just below your nostrils where the breath can be felt
I am really trying to design experiences for people. Yet being able to experience what a design achieves in physical form is a whole other ballgame. In my life I have at times been miserable in beautiful natural settings and been happy in ugly places which has led me to realise that the appreciation of nature is also very much an internal affair. In the following paragraphs I’d like to share some of the internal ways I have learnt to BE in my garden more. Choose a good spot - Find a spot in your garden that can be yours alone. A chair, or log to sit on that overtime comes to represent your contemplative intention. Make sure it is comfortable and leave your mobile phone in the house. This can become your time and your space even if it is only a few minutes a day. Make a promise that during this time you don’t look around and start deadheading or weeding. You are cultivating a new relationship with your garden and need to keep this separate from maintenance.

through the door moving in and out you can just observe the pace of your breathing. The important element here is not to make the breath do anything, not to make it come in and out with any evenness but just observe it’s natural rhythm. Eg my breath is often very fast for a good few minutes or quite sporadic. Then it changes again. All we have to do is observe this change like a curious scientist or a child watching clouds form shapes. You may observe how not only does breathing influence mental processes but allows us to connect to the space around us. 3) The Mind - It seems the mind’s job is to rove around and constantly produce thought and images. Normally we are quite invested in what our mind has chosen to focus on. In this exercise you simply observe what your mind is thinking about. Try not to give what is happening a value judgment but just like the breathing exercise you can observe ‘your mad monkey mind’ jumping around. Oh that’s interesting..I am thinking about work…that person I had an argument with…the lawn that desperately needs a mow. The core point here is that you can find a separation from your thoughts. They are always there but your ability to observe them in a compassionate and patient way can bring on a calmness. People often say “Oh I can’t do meditation my mind won’t shut up”. But effective meditation if not fighting the mind and wanting it to be different but finding a calmer place within it to observe its never endingness. And sometimes a lucky

by product is that is does become more still. 4) The Senses - Each sense can be engaged in our appreciation of our garden. The first sense we have already looked at is hearing. With our eyes closed as if we were truly blind how do we experience the sounds and how do the sounds give us a different experience of different spaces. A far off seagull, a plank of wood falling from a truck, a plane overhead? The sounds interweave and overlap. This is your very own “Spotify” without advertising! Sight - When I look at nature I like to feel that, as the self conscious product of millions of years of evolution, I am nature’s way that it discovered to look upon itself- to appreciate itself and care for itself. Let your eyes wander - This is a simple game where you get comfortable and then let your eyes wander where they want to go. Then let them fix on one particular thing. It may surprise you what happens. They may go onto a half buried stick or a woodlice struggling on it’s back, or a star shaped Echincea flower. Let yourself be taken in by whatever it is and let yourself be moved by what it is you are looking out. It is often unpredictable what comes up and if you stay as long as needed something important often emerges. Squinting - No not because of the sunlight but because this can help us see the whole visual field, including the merging of colours and the different dark and lights. Being in this state can let us see

38 Gardening nature for the first time rather then seeing specific things - a bit like imagining you are a baby which hasn’t differentiated the world into particular things yet. This can be quite hypnotic. Touch - Rather then touch the garden with your Green Maintenance Fingers, you can let yourself wander the garden and notice spontaneously what you want to touch. As with all these exercises let yourself be surprised by what your hands want to do. In this way your garden will always provoke in you different responses and it will feel like the relationship you can have with it is ongoing and can continually be created afresh. Your hands might be drawn to the cool moss in the lawn, a scratchy trunk or even the thorn of a rose. Smell - I find this easier with my eyes closed. Sensing what I can smell from one position in the garden then moving out. To broaden your sense of smell trying smelling everything not just the Jasmine on the fence: decaying leaves, the compost bin, the leaves rubbed together between your fingers of different plants not just your herbs. There is so much more I can write here about this topic. Let me know if you want a follow up. The most important point I would like to make is that we can have a garden but can we also know it. Can we create a relationship with it and keep this link constantly fresh. In that way even if we don’t have a huge garden or budget we can have a meaningful partnership with our green space outside our window.
What to do in May There is an old gardener’s adage that ‘one looses the gardens in May’. There is so much to do. Annual flowers and other frost sensitive plants like v e g e t a b l e p lu g s tomatoes, runner beans, peppers, aubergines and chillies - can be bought and planted now if you didn’t have the opportunity to grow them indoors this year. Feed lawns Water any new plants and fertilise and water pot plants If Pennstemons show lots of new basal growth prune them back to the fresh green shoots Thin out the clematises that have already flowered this year. Hoe weeds to save you having to get on your hands and knees - little and often
