back (you do not need to measure your temperature)
• a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an
hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a
cough, it may be worse than usual)
• a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste – this means you've
noticed you cannot smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste
different to normal
To protect others, do not go to places like a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital

Remember Hands… Face… Space…to help stop the spreadIn the first step of the prime minister's roadmap, all pupils in England's schools are expected to return to class from 8 March, with mass testing and wider use of face masks in secondary schools. There will be a further easing on 29 March, with groups of up to six people or two households allowed to gather in parks and gardens. Shops, hairdressers, gyms and outdoor hospitality, as well as self-contained holiday accommodation, could reopen on 12 April. A review of international leisure travel restrictions could also be announced. From 17 May, two households or a group of six may be able to meet indoors in a pub or other hospitality venue such as restaurants. Cinemas, museums, hotels, performances and sporting events will also reopen, with up to 30 people able to attend weddings, receptions, funerals and wakes. The final step from 21 June will potentially see all legal limits on social contact removed, with the final closed sectors of the economy reopened - such as nightclubs. Progressing along the schedule will depend on four tests: the success of the vaccine rollout, evidence of vaccine efficacy, an assessment of new variants, and keeping infection rates below a level that could put unsustainable pressure on the NHS. There will be a gap of at least five weeks between each of the plan's subsequent steps to allow for the impact of changes on infection rates and hospital admissions to be assessed. Each stage in the easing of restrictions would be confirmed one week beforehand, said Mr Hancock. This means there would be four weeks to assess the impact of each previous relaxation.

The 100 plus club : Restarts 1st May : Be In It to Win It
The Hundred Plus Club was started by Tony Fuller in 2012 and it became an
instant success raising well needed funds for our Local Chideock News
Due To declining health Tony passed on the Administration to Julia
Greenshield who has run The 100 plus club admirably well over the last few
years. Julia is now passing the Administration on to Anna Dunn.
Anna would like to restart the 100 Plus Club on the 1st April and to do this we
need your help once again to raise the much-needed funds for our Magazine.
The ticket numbers will be kept at £12.00 each for this coming year.
Payment for the numbers can be by a variety of methods. Whichever
method is chosen please do supply your Name your Address and your
Phone Number and an email Address if applicable which will enable us to
make the payments to you in a timely fashion.
Payments can be made by:
(1) Cheques payable to: 100 Plus Club (and dropped into Anna’s post box)
(2) Cash which can be dropped into Anna’s post box with a covering note
with all of your details.
Or (3) Bank transfer to: Sort code 77 50 35
Account Number 19265860
(If paying by bank transfer please remember to pass on your details to
Anna to enable her to allocate your payment to your number)
If none of the above methods work for you please either telephone Anna
or write to her and she will then make arrangements to pick up the said
monies before the start of the new Draw.
All proceeds from the Draw will be allocated as follows: half of the income
generated will become the prize money divided by 12 months to give the
monthly prizes. The other half of the income will go directly to the
Administration of the Chideock News.
As we are restarting the 100 Plus Club we will be allocating new numbers for
the draw. So if your previous number/numbers weren’t lucky you now have
the opportunity of getting a fresh one /s or if you would like to possibly keep
your old number you will have to be quick before it possibly gets allocated to
someone else. The more numbers we sell the bigger the prizes the larger the
donation to the News. New contact details are as follows:

We are in the process of setting up a new website in connection with the

photographs and other memorabilia and we hope over the next months to
‘scan’ all this material in to the new website so it is held safely and for
everyone to see. The hard copies can then be placed with the Dorset Archive.

Face, Hands and Space!
Update from Cllr Glenn re past, present, and future actions regarding the
A35.
On behalf of the Parish Council, I would like to extend a sincere Thank You to
all those individuals who contributed to the recent discussion document put
forward by Cllr Peacock. The response was small at 7% of the overall
population, but it did demonstrate that everyone has a slightly different view
on how to improve the quality of life for those who live in Chideock. Cllr
Peacock’s document was intended to bring the debate to the forefront of every
resident’s mind through asking you to consider ’out of the box ideas’! The
Parish Council embraced the concept and have now reviewed the report and
feedback, and we consider that it is important that we share where we are and
what if anything could be taken forward.
Several responses contained incorrect information. This will be addressed in
the April edition of the Chideock News, together with a summary of the
responses received.
There are four main areas which councillors consider should be taken forward:
1. Safety and Severance.Cllr Peacocks ideas about the A35 and how it could be improved, are also
reflected in the Safety and Severance Report, commissioned by Highways
England in 2018. (The Safety and Severance Report can be found on the
Parish Council website under the A35 tab).
This report considered the impact of the A35 on the village regarding
safety and the ability to safely cross the road. The independent consultant
worked with the Parish Council and came up with 16 recommendations, of
which only five were agreed by HE for consideration in developing a
business case. The report recognized the need for improvements in the
pavements, two additional pedestrian crossings, and average speed
cameras. The outcome of the business case was expected in 2020 but has
been delayed. The Parish Council has been clear that other
recommendations, for example pavement improvements, should be taken
forward by Highways England and that the needs of disabled people
should be fully addressed. In addition, the Parish Council considers that
there are issues regarding North Road and Sea Hill Lane, both of which
are Dorset Council roads. Highways England is not opposed to Average
Speed Cameras but wishes to consider them in the context of the whole
A35 Trunk Road.
2. The A35.
All current alternatives to reduce congestion or pollution over the past 22
years have either been discounted by Dorset Council or by Highways
England. In 2016, there was a Parish Poll where the village, by a majority,
decided that either the A35 should be de-trunked or a bypass should be
sought outside of the village of Chideock. Subsequent to the poll
neighbouring parishes informed Oliver Letwin that they too do not want a
bypass which passes through their parishes. However, no progress has
been made regarding de-trunking because Dorset Council is not willing to
consider de-trucking the road. Dorset Council and Highways England are
currently not seeking an alternative East-West strategic route to address
economic or social needs. The focus of Dorset Council’s / HE’s road
strategy in the new Road Investment Strategy (RIS2) is in the East of the
county supporting new routes from the South to the North up the M4. The
reality is that, while no progress is made at a strategic level on either of
these preferred options, then the subject of how the whole of the A35
could be improved remains a distant concept.
3. Increased Tourism.
It is important for the economy of Chideock and the many businesses that
exist here that we welcome visitors. However, the development ofSeatown has had a significant impact on the village with additional
congestion and speeding traffic on both the A35 and local roads. The lack
of infrastructure including roads and parking at Seatown (and soon
possibly no public toilets) need to be constructively reviewed to ensure it
remains sustainable. In other words, there needs to be a balance between
the economic development of the area and actual benefit to the
community. The possibility of an alternative route to Seatown will be put
forward to Dorset Council.
4. Pollution.
The Parish Council has raised this issue repeatedly with the relevant
agencies which consider the data received about levels of pollution in the
village. It is a fact that, without previous Parish Councils and the current
Parish Council raising this issue over many years, the current bodies
responsible (which include Dorset Council, Highways England and Defra)
may have just been content to just monitor rather than have a conversation
about the issues. However, the reticence of these bodies to actually put in
place solutions has meant that historically all members of the various
Parish Councils over the years have been left feeling frustrated, but
despite this the Parish Council continues its efforts to get the “powers that
be” to resolve this issue.
Last but not least, it is important that I share with everyone that the Parish
Council has had a “virtual” meeting with our new MP, Chris Loder. It was a
positive meeting, and we are looking forward to a new partnership which
facilitates new strategic conversations about the issues that matter most to
Chideock.

Budget and Precept for 2021 – 2020.
Band D Council Tax with decrease by £0.94 per annum.
The large increase in the amount being put aside for Parish Council elections is
because the election in January 2020 cost approximately £2,500, far more than
had been anticipated based on data from West Dorset District Council.
West Dorset District Council did not recharge parishes for elections, but the
new Unitary Dorset Council does.

“Many Hands Make Light Work”!
The fencing and play equipment at Clapp’s Mead are in need of a bit of TLC.
The wooden items need treating with preservative and metal items need
repainting – they were last done in 2012 for the Queen’s Jubilee.
This work will be done once the weather improves.

FASCINATING HISTORIES
When Lee was clearing out the old WI filing cabinet in the Village Hall she
came across a plaque which had presumably been given back to the WI at
some point. It was in memory of Ada Barlow who was a member, and
Treasurer, in the early days of the WI in Chideock. Using her family history
skills Lee has managed to find out a little about Ada and her family which
shows how much you can find out from the internet.
Ada was born in
1897, the only child
of James and Eve
Barlow. James was
born in Wandsworth,
London, and in the
1891 census he was a grocer’s assistant there. The same census shows Eve
Smith (born in Chideock, Dorset) in Wandsworth, being a servant. They
married in 1896, a year before Ada was born, in Hampstead, so they had
moved north of the river by then. They then went to Dunstable but why is not
clear, perhaps it was a visit rather than a longer term move.By 1901, when Ada was still
small, the family had moved to
Chideock taking up residence in
Yew Cottage, Seahill Lane,
opposite the road to Ridwood.
The picture below shows
members of the Barlow family
standing outside the cottage and
as Ada was their only child we
can assume that she is on the
right.
We know Ada
became a teacher, as
there is a school
photograph which she
is in, from 1920 in ‘A
Wander Through
Chideock’, showing
staff and pupils of
Chideock Council
School. The school
was on Main Street,
just beyond where Bilberry Close is now, and had over 50 pupils. Ada may be
the second on the left.
Sadly Ada died in Chideock in 1926 at the very young age of 29, and is buried
in Chideock cemetery. We ordered a copy of her death certificate which states
that she died of “Acute gastro-enteritis 24
hours” and that there was no post mortem. Her
grave is at the back of the cemetery on the
right hand side, 12 in from the path next to the
Tuck family. It appears that our Ada was a
good little saver because the probate records
show that she left £628 which would be worth
well over £30,000 in today’s money – not bad
for a young teacher.
We have found handwritten Minutes of a WI
Committee Meeting held at Swiss Cottage in
December 1926 which was held “owing to the
loss that Chideock WI had sustained in the saddeath of the Treasurer, Miss Barlow”. They agreed to send a letter of
sympathy to her parents and cancelled the Christmas Party. It was proposed
that something be done for the children in memory of Miss Barlow and after
several suggestions, a seat in the School Playground was agreed upon. We
assume that our plaque was displayed on this seat.
We are going to fix the plaque to the bench that the WI gave to the cemetery a
few years ago so that Ada can be remembered by another generation.

AND A LITTLE PIECE OF HISTORY ON CHIDEOCK MANOR/CASTLE
Four families have held the Manor of Chideock from the Norman Conquest
until the late 1990’s (Mandeville, Chideock, Arundell and Weld). The Manor
and estate were sold to the Coates family in 1996. The church remains in trust
to the Weld family.
Chideock Castle
Chideock Castle was built by John de
Chideocke in 1380. In the Middle Ages,
it passed into the hands of the Arundells
of Lanherne, a powerful West Country
family who remained loyal to their faith
when the old religion was banned. The
Castle became a refuge for Catholic
priests and a place where loyal Catholic
villagers could go to Mass. During this
time, seven Chideock men were
martyred for their faith. When the Castle
was destroyed in the Civil War, the Arundells left Chideock, but despite
persecution, the local people kept the faith and worshipped in secret in the loft
of a barn next to the present Manor House.
In 1802, Thomas Weld of Lulworth Castle, a relation of the Arundells and also
a member of an old Catholic family, bought Chideock estate for his sixth son,
Humphrey, who built the present Manor House and turned the barn into a
modest chapel. In 1874, Humphrey’s son, Charles, transformed the latter into
the beautiful Church we know today. The Church is dedicated to Our Lady,
Queen of Martyrs and to St. Ignatius, founder of the Society of Jesus.01308
