WHAT’S ON IN SEPTEMBER 2020
At the time of writing we are hoping and praying that we will be able to return to our
normal pattern of Sunday services from 6 September. The services will look and feel
different to the ones that we are used to, but we see this as a stepping-stone as we
move towards a new normal. So this will be our pattern of Sunday worship:
8:00 – BCP Holy Communion, St. Mary’s
9:15 – Holy Communion, Christ Church
10:45 – Sunday worship (communion on the first Sunday of the month only), St. Mary’s
In terms of continuing our online services, there will be a pre-recorded 9:15 service
available from Christ Church, and the 10:45 service at St. Mary’s will be live-streamed.
The arrangements for the 10:45 service are still being finalised but the service will be
ticketed due to restrictions on numbers in the church building, and the tickets will be
available via the church website. It’s also worth mentioning that there will be no band
or choir at the 10:45 service although we will be using pre-recorded songs from the
band on the screen. The arrangements for our Sunday Groups are also being finalised
but we’re hoping to offer something for our young people on the Glebe Field during
the service. And sadly we won’t be able to offer refreshments after the service either.
Please keep an eye on the website for updates on all the above.
Daily Prayers
Our Daily prayers will continue Monday to Saturday at 10:00 throughout September
as we meet via Zoom for a simple online time of prayer which everyone is welcome to
join in. The prayer time lasts about 30 minutes, starting with a chance to catch up be-
fore a time of shared prayer and reflection. Following on from the prayer time we will
be continuing with our 30-minute bible study led by different people from our church
community every day. There is a link on the church website to join so come and try it out.
Community Cupboard
Our food bank continues to be well stocked and we would love to hear from anyone
who needs some support, either on a regular ba-sis or just as a one off. To access the
foodbank please contact Ali Mackey at ali.mackey@gkchurch.org

INTERREGNUM MESSAGE
Stop all the clocks
Does anyone else feel as though the world ground to a halt this year? That time changed?
W H Auden’s poem conjures up a picture of sadness and loss and perhaps, for you, the
time past also has brought its fair measure of sadness.
We can never turn back the clock. More than ever, we live in uncertain, challenging
and changing times into which we can only move forward, but how do we navigate the
uncertainty when so much has already changed?
Well, here are a few pointers for you to ponder on as September marches on, the
children return to their classrooms and we begin to re-imagine this new season in time.
Paul in the bible says he has ‘learnt to be content in all circumstances’. He wrote this
from prison before his death so knew what it was to suffer, to be deprived of ‘normal’
life and live with the ‘not knowing’ about the future.
We would call this ‘resilience’, the ability to bounce back when situations come at us
that leave us floored. Let’s not be reduced by the past but be challenged by it and instead
of simply bouncing back, leap forward to what is ahead.
Getting up and moving forward is a choice. We can say yes or no in our decision making.
The road to life has unexpected turns but we have a choice to follow it. The plans God
has for us give us hope if we leave the choice to him.
Be the change you want to see in the world. We can’t go back to before pandemic times
but we can start where we are and change what is to come.
Patience is also a virtue that many of us find a challenge. How do we wait for a better
time without complaining? We need to be as patient with ourselves as God is with
us. God’s ways are pretty unfathomable while they are still in progress so don’t try to
exhaust yourself worrying about what is to come, just live in the now.
And most importantly, smile. We are refreshed in the presence of cheerful people, so
cheer someone else up each day. Give people around you a reason to hope, a sense
of well-being, an expectation that the new world we enter into will be alright because
we journey into it together.
Paul says in one of his letters that ‘We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed;
perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not
destroyed’. This is a very different outcome to that which Auden describes.
So take heart this month. The God who gave Paul the courage to move forward, is very
much alive, and in the habit of bringing hope in uncertain times to those who seek Him.
If you are in need of some hope today and would like to talk to someone, Please don’t
hesitate to call the church office on 01580 211739 or leave a prayer request in the box
in either church and we will pray for you.
Amen

'Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone'
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead,
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.
He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.
The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood;
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
W H Auden

AN UNTIMELY DEATH IN GOUDHURST IN 1910
In 1847, the Scottish physician Sir James Young Simpson first used chloroform as an
anaesthetic, testing it on himself. It was administered by dripping the liquid onto a
cloth or a sponge held above the face so that the vapours were inhaled, and its effects
worked quickly.
There were early reports of fatalities due to chloroform, beginning with a 15-year-old
girl in 1848. Skill and care were required to differentiate between an effective dose and
one that paralysed the lungs, causing death. The use of chloroform spread quickly and, in
1853, it was given to Queen Victoria during the birth of her eighth child, Prince Leopold.
I found the following inquest report by accident while researching my family history. The
police constable giving evidence at the inquest was my great uncle, James Eversfield, who
was living and serving in Goudhurst at the time. The inquest concerned the death of
his fellow police constable, James Truphet Saywell, a 35 year old who lived at Riseden.
On 21 September 1910 a group of hop-pickers was causing a disturbance at Goudhurst
Station. PC Saywell was attempting to quieten things down when he injured his left
shoulder. He didn’t take too much notice of the injury until he was unable to use his left
arm and he went to see the village doctor. Dr Sealy, advised PC Saywell that it would
be necessary to administer chloroform in order to put the shoulder back in place. On
Saturday morning 1 October PC Saywell went to Dr Sealy’s surgery, accompanied
by PC Eversfield, where he was stripped to the waist and laid on a mattress on the
floor. Dr Sealy placed a cloth over his face and poured some chloroform from a bottle
onto it. After that the doctor allowed drops to fall onto the cloth at intervals of a few
seconds for four or five times. Suddenly Dr Sealy, who was feeling the patient’s right
pulse, snatched the cloth from his face and shouted “His heart has stopped”. Despite
immediate attempts to resuscitate him, PC Saywell could not be saved. Dr Mapleton,
another Goudhurst doctor, was telephoned and summoned to the surgery where death
was confirmed and the case was reported to the police.
Dr Mapleton subsequently carried out a post-mortem examination and at the inquest
he said that “in his opinion death was due to syncope (loss of consciousness) caused
or accelerated by the administration of chloroform. There was congestion of all the
internal organs and the left of his heart was soft and flabby”. He suggested that when
the doctor administered the chloroform his fingers should have been spread out under
the cloth and the cloth should have been some five inches above the patient’s face to
allow plenty of fresh air so the chloroform was not too strong. The cloth should be
placed nearer after a dozen breaths but should never absolutely cover the patient’s face.
Giving his evidence, PC Eversfield told the Court that Dr Sealy pulled the stopper out
of the chloroform bottle, which was three parts full. The cloth covered the patient’s
face and was not pulled off.
6
At that point Dr Sealy said he wanted legal representation before continuing, so the
inquest was adjourned. When Dr Sealy gave evidence at the later hearing he said that
the statement given that the cloth was not pulled off the patient’s face until he found
that his pulse had stopped was inaccurate.
The jury found that death was due to misadventure, and added a rider that more care
should have been exercised when ministering the chloroform. They expressed their
opinion that two qualified medical men should be present when chloroform was given.
The Coroner said that a departmental committee on Coroners’ Courts and the
Coroners’ work had made a special report expressly recommending that “Two members
of the medical profession should always be present when anaesthetic is given. Probably
in the course of time this would become law”.
Soon after this case, because of the number of deaths recorded, the use of chloroform
declined. Today surgery under a general anaesthetic involves a whole team of
professionals and, depending on the level of pain or tissue damage, a dislocated shoulder
is often corrected without the need for anaesthetic. How things have moved on in
relatively short space of time.

COVER
PHOTOGRAPH
This month's cover photograph is of sunset over Horsmonden from Goudhurst. Thank
you Lynette Edwards for sending this in.
Caroline Turvey sent in the text on a board from a local church she was visiting (page 5).
Lynette also sent in the photo of fish in Goudhurst Pond on page 10 and the baby grass
snake on page 13. The last few weeks must have been the time for the snakes to hatch
as I have recently found two of them run over on Church Road, Kilndown as they have
been making their way to the pond.

QUARRY CENTRE
August is always a difficult month at the Saturday Shop,
the everyday crystal ball has to be replaced by the bigger
orbuculum and our clairvoyance powers are tested to the
limit. Who’s on holiday, who has a glut of vegetables in
their garden, who’s going out for the day, may all sound
somewhat trivial, but these points do make a difference
in the ordering of the fresh produce, as we are only open
on Saturday mornings. Oh well……!
Don’t forget we have a range of Eco-Friendly cleaning
materials, mostly on a refill basis, this now includes an
anti-bacterial, multi surface cleaner.
Do you shop online? Do it through easyfundraising.org.uk and raise a free donation
for Quarry Centre, every time you shop! https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/
quarrycentre/
At present we only have five supporters for the TW Lotto, we are ‘allowed’ up to 50.
The cost is only £1 per week and we get 50% of that. The remaining money goes to
various charities supported by TWBC. Look on www.twlotto.co.uk for full details.
Plans for refurbishment of the exterior are still ongoing, we have two estimates/quotes
and are awaiting a third. It has been suggested that to save all this seemingly incessant
painting, the whole place be stripped back to bare timber and wood preservative slapped
on it every three years. The building would then look as it did (give or take a bit) when
it was erected 140 years ago. Hmmmm…
Moving on, preparations for the Nostalgia Day are progressing slowly, as we’ve all had
to make so many changes, and we had not set a date, it all seems a bit ‘tomorrow will
do’ at present. Just to remind you, 2020 sees the 140th Birthday of the building, the
40th Anniversary of the Quarry Centre and the 20th Anniversary of the Saturday Shop,
(not to mention several other anniversaries for the Village Hall and Millennium Green).
We will get the event staged at some point.
Again, a big THANK YOU to all who are continuing to support the Quarry Centre and
the Saturday Shop and thank you to those who we saw at the beginning of ‘lockdown’,
but don’t see now, we hope we helped you in some way. The Quarry Centre is a
registered Charity, No. 1167410 and any donations made may be Gift Aided, pick up a
form at the Saturday Shop.

KILNDOWN GARDENING CLUB
By the time this is being read we may have had our first meeting since March, or maybe
not! It all depended on how many were willing to venture out. We may be holding
our Autumn Flower Show on September 26 or may be not! We may have a meeting
in October – who knows? News will filter through by some form of means if it’s a yes
or a no!
Whatever happens please keep the next Plant Sale in mind, as the weather becomes
more autumnal and thoughts turn to rearranging and/or tidying the garden, pot up
those unwanted divisions, take a few cuttings, save some seeds for sowing next year.
Lynda Shepherd
BETTY’S TRACTOR RUN
If all goes to plan and we don’t all get ‘locked in’ again, this will be on Sunday October
11, on the Millennium Green from 10am to 12 noonish.
The vintage and veteran drivers and tractors(!) will take a route through Bedgebury
Pinetum raising funds for Hospice in the Weald. Optimistically refreshments will be
available.

11PARISH COUNCIL NEWS
At time of writing I am sitting in a pleasant 23˚C environment, having endured 30-35
and no rain here for weeks. All is becoming brown, the grass, the leaves and even the
weeds. Rain is promised, lots of it and has been for days, but none falls here. Black
clouds, deluges in Maidstone and south and north and west but none here. Hopefully,
by the time you read this, it will have come to Goudhurst or the environmental cost
will be high.
Like waiting for the rain, we have been waiting for Broadband, but not for days and
weeks but three years and still it does not come. But perhaps that at least may change
or, so we are told, indeed assured. Finally, an installation team has been allocated and
our project is to be signed off in the next few weeks. We must have hope, like we hope
also for the rain. If that happens, what happens next? A Goudhurst broadband website
will be set up by Openreach where everyone must sign up for their property to be
included in the scheme and pledge their Government and county vouchers (subsidy)
to the project. If enough of us sign up the project will go ahead, and we are advised
we will have superfast fibre broadband by the spring – Spring 2021 apparently. “Pigs
will fly” one resident has commented. However, pig or not, if our project does move
forward in the next few weeks then we will all need to pledge our voucher online
and if sufficient sign up the project will then move forward and deliver our promised
superfast broadband free of charge. So, if/when we have systems go, it will be up to all
of us (YOU!) to sign up. Apart from the letter you should receive from Openreach,
we will try to let everyone know, when and how to sign. Cllr David Knight has been
pushing relentlessly over recent months to move the project forward, if you have any
questions, check with David.knight@goudhurst-pc.gov.uk.
As reported last month, every effort is being made by your Parish Council to ensure
the village and parish of Goudhurst remains a thriving place to live and shop and eat.
A place of beauty to enliven the heart beyond just the place we call home. Our first
High Street Project Zoom meeting was held on July 30th. A follow up with most our
retailers and businesses will take place at the end of August, all of whom have signed
up to the idea of making the most of the village. Many of our plans and ideas will have
to wait for 2021 for implementation because of Covid. The project has a new name
“Destination Goudhurst” and we are hoping that those of us who live in the parish
will also make full use of what we have where we live, making it our destination too.
As a parish, town and county we will now have to digest the latest bright idea from
our Central Government. Just as their previous bright idea was a veritable Developers
and liars charter it’s now - throw away the rule book and build, build, build, …without
planning permission. Because planning regulations and scrutiny (to protect facilities,
the environment, neighbours, communities and design) allegedly takes too long and
holds up the developers. But wasn’t it the whole point of their last big idea, power
to the communities to be more in control of their own lives and prepare their own
Neighbourhood Development Plan? Plans which we and many thousands of parishes have
devoted the last 3-5 years preparing. So even before the ink is dry and those plans ratified,
12it seems that they too may be swept away to build, build, build anything, anywhere.
Your Parish Council, your neighbouring parishes, towns and county representatives,
councillors and we believe MPs too, are appalled. Are we right to be concerned?
Together with our Borough Council and Kent Association of Local Government we
will scrutinise carefully the proposals and their potential effect. We will then report
back and consult on how to respond.
This summer our Parish Council has been very busy. By the end of August the new
Children’s Play Area by the Church Rooms should be nearly completed (thanks to the
fund raising efforts of the community and some hugely generous donations) and CCTV
installed to keep a quiet eye on it; the Lower Glebe will have been triple mown as the
first step in its journey and the ragwort, the scourge of 2020, will have been treated. The
newly re-laid grass by the Kilndown Quarry Pond thrives and the pondweed has been
cleared (four times). Dog fouling bag dispensers will be provided to help the forgetful in
Kilndown and Goudhurst, and a Duck House will be installed on the Goudhurst pond,
for the enjoyment of the children and pleasure for all.
Your Parish Councillors … David Boniface, Craig Broom, Chris Ditton, Alan Foster,
Antony Harris (Chairman), Phil Kirkby, David Knight, Barry Noakes, Caroline Richards,
Jayne Russell, Guy Sutton and Peter Wood.
Clerk to the Council. Anthony Farnfield, 01580 212552 and clerk@goudhurst-PC.gov.uk.

NEW VICAR
We are getting there (at a gentle pace). Just in case you have not seen the information
sheet on the gkchurch weekly information email it is included below.
We are delighted that, following two days of interview process, the Patron has offered
the post of Vicar of Goudhurst with Kilndown (subject to various legal requirements)
and that offer has been accepted. Subject to the candidate meeting Bishop Rose in
late August and being approved by the Queen, we will be able to welcome a new vicar.
We don’t have any further details yet on potential start date and cannot share more
information on the candidate, but we can tell you that the Panel was totally unanimous
in their view.
We are so grateful for the prayers that have carried this process to where it is today.
We are tremendously excited about our future. Please continue to pray!
One challenge to the candidates was to record a talk on Ecclesiates 3:1-8 - a text covered
in our daily Bible studies earlier this summer. Do take a moment to reflect on what
that poetry might be saying to you today, and what purpose and hope it might hold.
We are grateful to all the applicants, shortlisted candidates and everyone who helped
in many ways to get us to this point - for your prayerful partnership in the selection
process.
These last few months have been extraordinary for all sorts of reasons and we should
never forget how extraordinary our God is.
In Christ,
Ali, Angie, David and Simon

JBack Pain, Sciatica, Injured or Aching Joints?
Our caring and professional team is here to help
As experienced osteopaths and spinal disc specialists, we know how difficult life can be
when you’re in pain and your movement is restricted. It can be very debilitating when
you can’t sleep, work or enjoy time with your friends and family because of agonising
back or neck pain, a shoulder injury, an aching hip, or a ‘dodgy’ knee or ankle.
It’s important that we get our patients better - for the long-term. That means listening to
you and getting to the root of your problem, not just treating your symptoms.
Why choose Wealden Osteopaths & Spine Centre?
✓ Safe, gentle and effective treatments
✓ Sciatica and ‘slipped’ disc specialists
✓ Caring and trusted expert team
✓ Male and female practitioners available
The Wealden team is changing the
✓ Established in Goudhurst for 10 years lives of pain sufferers with IDD Therapy
Our IDD Therapy Programme is here to help you out of pain and back to your
normal routine – for the long term. The safe and gentle treatments target the root of
your bulging, prolapsed, herniated or ‘slipped’ disc so that symptoms don’t return.
“Every day was a battle with agonising sciatica… but now
I’m pain-free and enjoying life again after IDD Therapy.”
Sarah Gower’s back pain and sciatica put her life on hold. It was
so severe, she was considering surgery. She explains:
“I knew it would be a few months before I saw a consultant, but honestly, I
really wasn’t comfortable with the idea of spinal injections or surgery; I’d
read about the risks and recovery periods and it was a big worry for me.
I’d seen some local magazine articles about patients who had recovered
well at Wealden Osteopaths & Spine Centre. The Clinic Director James
Pickering arranged for me to have an MRI scan straight away; he suspected
I had some disc damage - a possible reason for my relentless sciatica.
James was confident that IDD Therapy could help me; he reassured me that
it would treat the root of my problem so that my sciatica wouldn’t return.
I still can’t quite believe I’m back swimming, going to the gym and sleeping
S After IDD Therapy, Sarah enjoyed through the night at last. IDD Therapy has been a godsend, and James’s
a pain-free holiday in Jersey team has been wonderful throughout.”
