May meeting
Thirty ladies gathered on a sunny afternoon
for tea in the Old Vicarage garden.
They were greeted with a glass of Prosecco
and then were able to admire the garden, catch
up with old friends and meet new at this first
event in the 2021 calendar
Thanks to the ladies who contributed cakes and
to all for purchasing raffle tickets in aid of WI
funds.
It was lovely to see everyone again and to be
able to socialise, if socially distanced.
The committee has been busy planning the
programme for the rest of the year and hope to
welcome members back to the Parish Hall in September.
June Meeting
Kinnerley WI held their first meeting post pandemic in the garden of
Dovaston House. Many thanks to Hilary for opening her garden and
the amazing view for us. New members and old enjoyed meeting and
greeting each other.
Sara, the president, took us through voting on the NFWI resolution for
2021, “to increase awareness of ovarian cancer”. This was carried
unanimously.
Annual Raffle tickets for National Federation were sold along with
tickets for our own funds. Prizes of eggs (thank you Sonia) and a
plant were excitedly received.
Wine or cordial was available along with an array of various
appetizing food, donated by members.
Michele Moore talked us through the arrangements for the next
meeting, a meal at the Cross Keys on July 8th and members made
their choices from the menu.
Sue Blackburn, our treasurer, gave a report of a healthy bank balance
despite the fact that subs have been reduced this year.
4
We have 14 signed up new members. If anyone else is interested in
joining, please contact Sara, 682819 or Angela 683881. You will be
made very welcome.
As I write this I can say, on behalf of all of us, how much we are
looking forward to meeting up again on July 1st. (Garden
Meeting, 2pm Ashgrove, Chapel Lane.)
There will not be a meeting in August, so the next meeting will
be Thursday September 2nd at 2 pm in St Mary's Church
Kinnerley. We will confirm this nearer the time. And hope and
pray nothing untoward will happen before then.
Enjoy the summer.
Keep safe and well

CHURCH NEWS
Greetings from your Rector,
This time last year I wrote about what July 2021 might look
like. I think it’s fair to say it was a touch optimistic, my
harsher critics would say I simply got it wrong, and that I do
that often. I don’t think any of us thought we would still be in
a pandemic in July 2021.
It’s nearly two years since I became the Rector of this benefice, and sad-
ly the majority of that time has been during a pandemic. The school
leavers’ service I optimistically predicted last July is not going to hap-
pen, but we still take a moment to wish our Yr6 leavers well and to pray
for refreshment over the summer for them and all the pupils and teach-
ers of our fabulous local schools.
Restrictions have not disappeared entirely, but our local shops and eater-
ies have imaginatively and courageously weathered the pandemic and
my gratitude for their endeavours during this pandemic is echoed by
many in our communities.
The Kinnerley Fete will once again not take place in July, but I still like
the idea of a village extravaganza- perhaps early September would be a
good time for a pop-up Fete and associated activities? Please let me
know what you think and if you want to get involved.
As we slowly but surely head back towards normal, now is the time that
we will really begin to notice how much has changed, both around us
and within us. We cannot go through an event like a pandemic without
it changing us. Now, perhaps more than ever, we need to be aware of
the mental health of those around us.
In a world of uncertainty and change, one thing is steadfast and un-
changing, and that is God. The pandemic has taught us a lot about our-
selves, a lot about our frailties and our wants and needs. Perhaps as our
church buildings finally fully reopen, now is the time to learn more
about the bigger story we all play a part in?
Yours
Revd Chris

9KINNERLEY PARISH COUNCIL NEWS
May Parish Council Meeting
The May Parish Council meeting saw a return to meetings in person
after over 12 months of meeting remotely via Zoom. Covid
restrictions still apply to how meetings can be run, so things are not
exactly back to ‘normal’ yet.
Following the May elections, all re-elected councillors who were
present signed their Declarations of Acceptance of Office, including a
new councillor for the Argoed Ward, Mr Stephen Hilton, who was
welcomed by the Chair of the meeting, Cllr Charles Green.
Cllr Nick Barclay was re-elected as Chair of the Parish Council,
together with Cllr Charles Green who was re-elected as Vice Chair.
Cllr Green noted that the current Parish Clerk would be leaving in
early July for health reasons, and expressed his gratitude for her
advice and guidance over the four years she had been in post.
The new owners of land in Dovaston where a development known as
Darwin House (previously The Hollies) is proposed were present at
the meeting. In the ‘Public Participation’ part of the agenda they told
the Parish Council that they were happy to talk to anyone with
concerns about their proposals.
It was noted that the application relating to Darwin House had been
deferred to the meeting on 21st June to allow time for proper
consideration of the amended proposals by councillors.

11KINNERLEY SCHOOL
LEOs
In class they have started a debate with our fellow
schools in the federation. Their question was, “Is it
wrong to spend money on space travel when there is so
much poverty in the world?” Both sides put forward
some very enthusiastic arguments including, ‘We may
need to find another planet to live on if we destroy this
one, whilst the argument came back that we could spend
the money improving this one. The final result was that the ‘no’ team won.
Snowys
The children are still enjoying their swimming lessons and still look forward
to each week. I’m sure in this weather the dip in the pool is very welcoming.
They are also continuing their science topic looking at plants used as food.
They made an extensive lists of fruit and vegetables which is lovely to see.
They have studied what plants need with two separate experiments. What do
plants need to grow and what do they need to be planted in. We were sur-
prised to see the bean in water grew the best!!!
Barn Owls
All the Barn Owls planted a broad bean seed and they are now happily grow-
ing in the allotment. We will all look forward to tasting them later in the
year.
As part of this topic they did a science experiment putting seeds in different
places. One with no light and one with no heat. They were surprised to see
the one in the fridge grow but be yellow!!!
All the classes are still having lessons from Shrewsbury Town in the commu-
nity. Mr Taylor is focusing on athletic skills, running, jumping and throwing.
Future Olympians here we come.

A rediscovered talent
Whilst convalescing over the winter,
Doreen Turner decided to pass the
time by trying her hand at knitting, a
skill she hadn’t used for some while.
Here is the beautiful result, a very
modern white-and-royal-blue outfit
for a Victorian doll!
Doreen obviously hasn’t lost her
touch. Will she continue with her
latest hobby, I wonder?
15Knockin Medical Centre
01691 682231
www.knockinmediclcentre.nhs.uk
CORONA VIRUS VACCINATION
At time of writing this over 2500 Knockin patients have received at least one dose of
vaccine, 1400 have had both doses. The provision of vaccine clinics at Severnfields
has now come to an end.
Clinics will continue to be run in both Shrewsbury and Oswestry by the National
Booking System. If you are eligible please contact 119 or go online to book your
appointments.
WE ARE OPEN FOR BUSINESS
As England moves out of the latest Lockdown restrictions, we continue to offer a
range of appointments for GPs, Nurses and our Healthcare Assistants. We are
continuing to ask that the first contact with a GP is done via a phone call in most
cases. If required the GP will then arrange for you to attend the surgery for a face
to face review, this can normally be arranged within 24 hours, more often than not
on the same day.
We are continuing to recall patients for reviews of their long term conditions; this
often involves attending for routine blood tests followed by a telephone
appointment with Tessa. Please help us by booking your appointments if we
contact you.
The dispensary remains open as it has done throughout the last year.
Please remember to wear a face covering when attending the surgery in person and
where possible please come alone.
CORONA VIRUS
If you believe that you may be showing symptoms of the virus or you are self isolat-
ing because a family member has symptoms, PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
COME TO THE SURGERY. If you require medication during this time please
ask a friend or neighbour to collect on your behalf.
Please bear with us during this difficult time for everyone. Rest assured we are do-
ing everything we can to ensure that we continue to offer the highest standard of
care to all of our patients.
Prescriptions
The prescription request box continues to be emptied every day at 2 pm.
We would also request that if you are able and have access to the internet that you
register to request your medication via one of the online sites. Ann continues to get a
large number of people ringing to order medication. This slows down the dispensing
process. If you can order online, it is quick and easy and the requests can be pro-
cessed at our end very quickly. Please ask at reception to be set up to order online.
All you need is an email address and access to the internet.
16Please try not to ring us “just to check” if your medication is ready. We are receiving a
high volume of these calls and it is taking up a lot of the admin and dispensary team’s
time. Please be aware that if we are experiencing difficulty in obtaining your item,
Ann will send you a text or contact you. If you hear nothing please arrange collection
7 days after you request.
New Patients
We are still taking on new patients living in our practice area. If you would like to
register with us, you can visit our website or just telephone the surgery, one of the Ad-
min team will be able to sort out your registration. We may ask you to have a tele-
phone appointment with one of the team if you are living with a long term condition or
have regular medication.
Data Opt Out
You may have seen the information in the press regarding the change to the way that
NHS Digital works with the data that we hold on your behalf. If you would like to opt
out of having your information used by NHS Digital then you can either go online, and
record your choices or there is a form on our website or in reception for you to com-
plete and return to us. We will then update our system and your information will not
be shared. Please be reassured that your care will not be affected by opting out of this
data sharing.
Contact Details
We are always trying to keep your details up to date. Please can you ensure that you
tell the receptionist if you have changed your mobile number? This means we can send
you a text message with details of future appointments and or specific health infor-
mation. We can also keep you up to date with any advice regarding the current pan-
demic.
Test Results
As you can appreciate we have a lot of phone calls in the mornings. If you are ringing
to find out the results of tests or investigations please ring in an afternoon, preferably
between 2 and 6 pm. This gives the Doctors more time to view and comment on your
result prior to your phoning. With the NHS App or the other online services can view
results of blood tests and x-rays online without having to make an appointment to see
the GP.
With demand for appointments rising continually at present we would like to thank all
of you for your continued support and patience. We strive to offer all of you the best
service that we can possibly provide. As we enter the winter period we will continue to
try and find ways to ensure that everyone using our services is kept as safe as possible.
We understand that sometimes this can be frustrating but we would ask that you do not
take this frustration out on the staff at the practice, they are all working as hard as pos-
sible with the wellbeing of our patients at the heart of all that they do.
Thank you
We would like to thank all of our patients for the kind words and positive feedback that
we have received over the last year. We have been very touched by your comments
and your support for the work that we have been doing; it has been very much appreci-
ated by everyone here at Knockin.

MELVERLEY VILLAGE HALL NEWS
Melverley Hall Update
I’m pleased to say that finally, work is going to begin on the kitchen at
the hall by the end of the month. Once the walls have been re-plastered,
after a coat of paint we plan to fit it out with durable stainless steel kitch-
en units.
Following this, the refurbishment of the ladies toilets which will include a
toilet for the disabled and a baby changing table.
We also intend to catch up on some overdue maintenance to give the
hall a fresh new look.
20Some of you may have noticed the flowery window boxes at the front of
the hall and our thanks go to Sarah Bennett and the students of the
Derwen College at Walford for potting them up for us. We are always
looking for a little help keeping the outside of the hall tidy so if anyone
out there would be happy to give a little time to do a bit of hedge trim-
ming or weeding we would be pleased to see you.
Paperbank
I thought I would put in a little reminder about the Paper bank which alt-
hough doesn’t raise a huge amount of money is still one of the ways we
fund raise towards the hall’s upkeep. Please think of calling at the hall
before putting your papers and magazines in the blue box on a
Wednesday or give me a call and I would be happy to collect them.
In the Garden
All of a sudden the gardens are blooming and the veggies are growing.
Once again as I did last year, I have planted up my window boxes with
Lettuce, Carrots, Peas & Beetroot. It’s lovely to look out of the kitchen
window to see the carrot tops growing and I have radishes everywhere.
Just a few seeds planted every few days and 4 weeks later you have
something to enjoy. Great for children to grow as they don’t take too
long. I also picked my first strawberries today and they were so
juicy. Just for fun, one thing I like to do is to grow plants from veg trim-
mings. Last year I grew a celery plant from the bit chopped off the bot-
tom and it was feathery and more of a floral display with little white flow-
ers. Guess what I found growing in another pot this year...tiny celery
plants which I shall plant out and see if they produce anything.
Memories of Melverley
I am still waiting to hear from anyone who might have a photo to share,
so come on folks, have a look back in your photo albums as I’m sure
there are plenty of memories out there that would interest us all includ-
ing the newer residents in the village.

21PENTRE AND EDGERLEY
Hi Readers,
The answer to last month’s question is the Mustang.
In early 1937 the Berlin Auto Exhibition was held in Berlin. Amongst the high
ranking Nazis attending with Hitler was his deputy Hermann Goering. Goering
was taken with the Mercedes 500K roadster. He asked if Mercedes could
make a special version for him; he required armour plated doors, bullet proof
glass and painted in sky blue metallic, this being one of the first cars to have a
metallic paint finish, and being modest, his family coat of arms on both doors.
Also the seating was tight due to Goering’s weight but it could be modified to
accommodate him. The car was ready by the end of 1937 and the bill paid by
Hitler who had a brass plate fixed to the glove compartment lid stating just that.
Goering was delighted.
By 1940 the metallic paint needed to be redone and also due to Goering
becoming even more obese the seating had to be modified again to allow him
to sit without the steering wheel jamming into his stomach.
By 1945 with the war almost lost the car ended up parked in the underground
car park of the Platahof Hotel near where Goering’s house was situated both
being bombed by the allies. It was discovered by advancing American troops
who suspected the car may be a bobby trap and fired several shots into it.
Satisfied, they managed to get the car running. It was soon commandeered by
2 star General Taylor for his personal staff car.
Now the property of the U. S. Army it was shipped to the USA where it was on
display to raise money for war bonds. The army finally sold the car off as
surplus at auction.
Depending on which account you read it was either Goering or the Americans
who gave this car it's nick name.
The question is what is it?
Autojumble.

26Nature Notes
Have you ever wondered where birds
sleep? Most of our garden birds are di-
urnal (active in daylight) and at dusk
they all disappear. Activity at the bird
feeders stops completely. Small flocks
of starlings merge into larger flocks,
then are suddenly just not there. All remains quiet and still (apart from the
occasional owl) - until we’re woken at break of day by the dawn chorus.
Birds don’t generally sleep in nests; the only time they do so is when they
have eggs or chicks to keep warm. Daytime haunts such as low branches,
shrubs and feeders are definitely not where they choose to spend the nights,
being far too exposed and therefore dangerous.
Probably the most popular place to roost is high up in the tree canopy, as close
to a trunk as possible. This location gives some protection from weather and
from predators. If you have a large tree in or near your garden, they may not
be as far away as it seems. Most birds remain near to where they spend their
days, although gulls will fly a fair distance between their feeding grounds and
roosts.
In the absence of a safe tree, a nook or a cranny will do – a hole in a trunk, an
unoccupied nesting box or roosting pouch, a rafter or crevice in a barn, all are
useful and relatively safe.
Starlings like to fly around their chosen spot for a while, then the whole mur-
muration will suddenly fall into the night roost, commonly a thick stand of
reeds, seeming to all drop out of the sky at the same moment. This type of
vegetation can be virtually impenetrable to predators and offers good shelter
from foxes and similar.
‘Birds of a feather flock together’ goes the old adage – and it’s generally true
for roosting as well, though in winter small birds of different species may hud-
dle together. Conservation of heat is the overriding factor, as a group of small
birds packed tightly together will keep much warmer than individuals sleeping
alone. Being in a group also means they can take turns in staying awake to
watch for predators. Birds that roost in flocks tend to move about during the
night, allowing each one to spend some time on the edges and some in the
warm centre of the flock.

Pearl Bordered Fritillaries.

28Local Health Champion worried about access to NHS dentists
Healthwatch Shropshire has been hearing from some Shropshire residents
about the problems they are having getting to see a NHS dentist. People are
reporting that their dentist will no longer see them on the NHS and they will
need to go private, mothers are reporting that they can’t get their children seen
by an NHS dentist and those who have recently moved, including military per-
sonnel leaving the forces, cannot find a dentist offering NHS treatment in their
new location. The NHS provides a ‘Find a Dentist’ service online but many
people are reporting that the information is very out of date and despite ringing
round dentists on the list none are currently taking NHS patients.
Lynn Cawley, Chief Officer of Healthwatch Shropshire, explained that, “In the
past we have heard of these problems and when we reported them to NHS
England they were able to organise extra capacity in the areas affected but the
pandemic has made things much more difficult, especially with the restrictions
it has placed on dentists’ ability to see people. Oral health is tremendously im-
portant and people are worried about the long term affects this lack of access
will have. As we come out of this lockdown we really want to hear people’s
experiences of finding NHS dental treatment in Shropshire and find out if this
issue is specific to particular parts of the county or widespread. People can
contact us on 01743 237884 or online
https://healthwatchshropshire.uk.engagementhq.com/dentistry-in-shropshire ”
Healthwatch Shropshire is the independent consumer champion for health and

30The Holy Island of Lindisfarne
This is a painting that I have just finished, it is of the Holy Island of
Lindisfarne in Northumberland. Lindisfarne is an extremely popular
tourist attraction, but its history goes back a long way.
King Oswald wanted to reintroduce Christianity to the North-East and
he employed St Aidan, an Irish monk from the Scottish island of Iona, to
convert Northumbria to Celtic Christianity. Aidan establishes a
monastery on the island of Lindisfarne in 635 and becomes the first
Bishop of Lindisfarne.
Sadly, King Oswald was reputably killed in 642, by the Mercians at the
Battle of Maserfield and his body hung on a tree which became known
as Oswalds tree and as the years passed by it changed to Oswestry as
we know it today.
A few of you who live in Kinnerley might have known my mum Jennie
Bruce, mums full name was Jennie Oswald Bruce and I have recently
discovered that her middle name Oswald has been given to previous
generations of female ancestors going back as far as we can trace.
Mum always said that she believed there was a distant family
connection to Lindisfarne, ironically mum was born in the Northeast of
England and ended her days in a care home in Oswestry but not I might
add hanging from a tree like King Oswald.

Kinnerley Parish Paths Partnership (P3)
We’ve been busy carrying out work across the par-
ish but as this piece is being written, things are on
hold again because we need to get hold of more of
the necessary materials like stiles and rails from the
Council. They are very happy to provide them to us
but they are themselves waiting to receive what
they’ve ordered from the sawmill.
In the meantime, we’re continuing to discuss pro-
jects with local landowners and the Council and put
them into a priority order with the most well used
local routes getting looked at first. We’ve currently
got roughly two dozen rights of way lined up for work of some kind as and
when we can get the “furniture.”
If you’ve got access to Facebook, you can see what we’ve been up to recently
by visiting the Kinnerley Footpaths page.
As the lockdown eases, I’m sure that we’ll soon be able to re-commence our
regular face to face meetings. It’s been quite a while since we got together!
As ever, if anyone has any issues on local rights of way or wishes to join in
with the P3 activities they can contact Charles Matthews on 07548 283447 or
