Jo’s Jottings
         The CCA have never been happy
with the way that the lobby floor was
laid and thanks to David Van Houten’s tireless
communications, we got a pay out from the insurance
company so that we could get it finished to our
satisfaction. Work may well have started by the time
you read this and hopefully it will look much better
soon. Work has been arranged to have minimal effect
on our hall hirers'.
We are also finally getting all the windows sorted out
so that the blown units will be replaced and broken
latches will be mended.                     Jo

It’s all change at The Anchor and St Nicholas Church, as both have new
people in charge! Lee has taken over in the Anchor from Brian and
Natalie. They have done a great job in the two years they were there,
but already Lee is putting his mark on the place and we hope that he will
make the pub a great success. Ernie has now taken over as Vicar at St
Nicholas, and a little bird tells us that he is planning some interesting
changes, so watch this space! We understand that Ernie likes a pint, so
if you don’t get to see him in Church you might get to see him in the pub!
Everyone seems to be getting fed up with the building work in Anchor
Lane, it will be good to welcome new people to the village but I think we
will all be pleased to see the back of the builders’ vehicles and the mud
on the road!

We really need to train up more ringers so that we can ring all ten bells.
Come along on a Wednesday evening from 7.30 pm and we will show
you the ropes! Contact Peter Hawes (258753) or Brian Meldon (258401)

Church Floodlights
The floodlights are only used on special occasions because they cost too
much to run. We are not a wealthy church with rich benefactors. We
would welcome sponsorship of the lights @ £5 an hour. Please contact

Hi Folks
It’s hard to believe that it has been just 3 short weeks since my licensing date at
Canewdon church.
We gathered together on that dark cold night, the threat of snow lingering in the air,
and the church was lit up in all its glory with the bells ringing out, wow what joy and
what a great sense of anticipation.
I was delighted that many friends and supporters from all over Essex and beyond,
coupled with folks from the village and surrounding area were able to be there and
witness this new beginning.
The service of installation and licensing
is an ancient custom that is still widely
practiced in the Church of England
today, being installed by the Archdeacon
and licensed by the Bishop is a great
reminder of the weight of responsibility
that the post of being a new priest in a
community brings, the Bishop spoke
with warmth and passion on my chosen
bible passage from Isaiah 43 beginning
at verse 19:” Forget the former things
and do not dwell on the past, see I am
doing a new thing”!
As human beings we have a tendency to
dwell on the past, whether good, bad or
indifferent, my hope is that we don’t
forget the past; lest we face the real risk
of not learning from it, but I want to
suggest that we don’t “dwell” on the past,
but be open to the possibility that with a
new priest in the community that new
things, new ways and new understanding
lay before us.
I want to open a new invitation to you all to come and join us in worship, it may be
that you have felt let down in the past by the church and I want to say come and be
welcomed, it may be that you have just fallen out of the habit of coming to church, I
want to say come and be welcomed, it maybe that you have never been to church
before, again I say, come and be welcomed, but this invitation is a two way thing, if
you want to invite me for a cup of coffee or a beer, I would be delighted to talk to
you.
May God bless you
Ernie

The Broomstick - March/April 2019 - Canewdon Parish Council
Back in November 2018 (on Remembrance Sunday),
                                         the Bell Ringers of St. Nicholas Church, were very
                                         proud to take part in a worldwide event marking the
                                         centenary of the end of World War One.
                                          Back Row: Gill (our new ringer), Marion, Brian, Peter,
                                         Phil, Peter
                                         Seated: Joan, Jennifer
                                         The following excerpt is taken from a letter from the
                                         President of the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers,
                                         which explains why this commemoration was
                                         instigated and what was achieved:
‘Last Sunday – Remembrance Sunday – we were called to “look to” and take part in a most
momentous commemoration. Being so intimately linked in to our local communities, it was no
surprise that bellringers everywhere stepped forward to participate, collectively and individually,
in such a solemn centenary.
And it is entirely right and fitting that bells gave voice to the deep and lasting emotions felt so
widely at this time. So many today owe so much to our forebears for the freedoms and liberties
that we enjoy one hundred years on. As bellringers, we are the “external choir” that calls out
across time and space, giving tribute on this day for those who have gone before. This is what we
do, this is our calling, this is our service.
On behalf of the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers, I wish to thank all who participated in
this historic event. The Ringing Remembers campaign, promoted by the Central Council, has
claimed some inspiring headlines – towers silent for many years have rung out once more;
hundreds of bands have been augmented with new learners; tens of thousands of ringers mobilised
to ring in thousands of towers – not just in the UK, but across the world; ringing featured strongly
in local, national and international media; and the BellBoard website went into meltdown!
Our campaign sought to recruit 1400 new ringers, to symbolically replace those ringers who fell
in the First World War. At the most recent count, new ringer registrations for the recruitment
campaign totalled 2792 – close to 200% of the original target. The Council’s newly-stated
mission is, among other things, “to promote an environment in which ringing can flourish”. Last
Sunday we witnessed what “flourish” looks like – more of that please.
My thanks also go to all those who have come to ringing through this route – may you continue to
develop in skill and gain many happy years of fulfilment in your ringing. And to that widespread
army of ringing teachers who have risen to the challenge of training so many enthusiastic learners
– well done!
Last Sunday was a day of reflection, a day of commemoration, a day of participation. Bellringers
everywhere were able to say – “I was there – I remembered”.’

CANEWDON HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY
We kicked off the new year on the 28th January with a well-attended
meeting, even though it was a very cold evening. Julia Tetley kept us well
entertained with her knowledge of plants, reminding us of the change of
names some of them have undergone over the years. As an example,
Crocosmia used to be known as Montbretia. Some plants have regional name
changes, and as a case in point, our Bluebell is known in Scotland as the
Harebell.

On the 25th March Sonthaya Rose is visiting us again, and is holding a
workshop. We await the content with interest.

At the moment there is not a great deal to be done in
the garden, (except for the hardy souls who always find
something to do). We look forward to the spring and
the new growth that will be emerging. This includes the
daffodils that we planted many years ago along our
verges, and we look forward to their emergence every
year, and fondly remember our late chairman Maurice.

We always welcome non members if you care to come along and see what we
are about. We meet at Canewdon Village Hall on the 4th Monday of the
month at 8pm, and a glass of wine or orange juice awaits you, followed by
tea or coffee and biscuits during the interval.
Roll on the warmer weather.

We returned to the Club a er our winter break
on the 16 January and I had the most wonderful
shock!
Our Secretary/Treasurer Carol had found out that
I had been Chairman of the Club for 20 years this
January and had arranged to have an Anniversary
Cake made for the occasion.
Her daughter Lisa had baked the most delicious
cake, decorated beau/fully with Evergreen
leaves, and an edible photo of me!
It was a total surprise and a lovely start to 2019.
Thank you Carol and the members for making it
an a ernoon to remember.

We then went on to play Bingo. Carol had also
arranged for wine and beer to be served ....
something we could definitely get used to at all
our Bingo and Hoy sessions!

As a member's club, I take very seriously everyone's opinions and ideas on what
they would like to have on the Evergreen agenda. We are hoping to use the
Wyvern Community Bus for trips out - fish and chip lunches here in the Hall -
and now that The Anchor has new licensees, and doing food again a lunch there
too. Any recommenda/ons for speakers, demonstrators or entertainers would
also be welcome.

We have been lucky with the weather for our first 3 mee/ngs and long may it
con/nue. The days are becoming lighter by the week, and the first sign of
spring bulbs are already on show. So fingers crossed that we don't suffer the
"Beast from the East" as we did last winter.

Un/l next /me regards,
Rosemarie Barker, Chairman.

CANEWDON & WALLASEA

There will be a residents meeting at 7.30pm on Thursday 7th March in
Canewdon Congregational Church, High Street, Canewdon SS4 3QA
(opposite the old Chequers Pub) to discuss the revival of our local
Neighbourhood Watch, our aim is to answer questions, develop community
contacts for people who don’t use social media & to enlist the help of residents
to help progress this forward.

Common sense tells us we will never stamp out crime, but we can make it a
whole lot less comfortable in Canewdon & Wallasea for would be thieves, etc.

This is why we have launched ‘Canewdon Neighbourhood Watch’ Facebook
Group. Residents are invited to join and to use this fb group to report
suspicious activity or anti-social behaviour - which will hopefully alert other
residents. Plus - if you’ve been the victim of a crime, jog someone’s memory -
perhaps someone saw something?           Maybe dashcam /CCTV footage could
provide some help?

See it, share it! Help keep our community informed & hopefully safer.

Although Police are no longer seen on our streets, we must emphasise
how important it is to REPORT CRIMES: Crime statistics arise from reports,
these statistics highlight areas at risk or targeted. As these reports increase, the
areas are flagged up for Police attention. This is why it’s important for all crimes
to be reported.

Canewdon Walks No 8
Great Stambridge, Stanne>s Creek and Pagelsham Church End.
Distance 8 miles

From the Village Stores, go down Anchor Lane, turning le into Gardeners Lane.
I had thought to make the walk more challenging by sugges/ng a route through the
churchyard down Church Hill and then nego/a/ng the swamp kindly created for us
villagers by Sanctuary Housing, but I think this is best le for the summer months.
Down Gardeners Lane take the footpath on the right leading to the golf course. On
reaching the golf course the path is not clearly marked and meanders through
woodland, and it is helpful if you have a compass to just head south. I do not own a
direc/onal compass and only have a moral compass which is I think a worthy a>ribute
but not much use when lost in the woods.
Eventually the path emerges on to Apton Hall Road where turn le and then a er 400
yards turn right into Stambridge Road. Con/nue on to The Royal Oak pub, so named
because next to the pub is the actual oak tree Charles the second climbed up in a
drunken state on his stag night, shou/ng insults to the Roundheads below, who were
the Health and Safety Brigade of their day, even wearing their helmets when not
cycling.
About 200 yards past the pub take the footpath on the le and follow this for about a
mile past some industrial units, Hampton Barns and Barton Hall and you will come to a
large expanse of water called for no par/cular reason Stanne>s Creek.
It is worth walking round the Creek to see The Effluent Sampling Point which is not as
grim or pungent as it sounds as it creates a pleasing waterfall effect likened by some to
be Canewdon’s answer to Niagra Falls.
I like the signs round the Creek saying "no swimming" next to which are nevertheless
life belts in an/cipa/on of Bri/sh disregard of authority and being told what to do.
Head north from the Creek along the path to Paglesham Church End which is not
clearly marked but an interes/ng challenge to see how much mud you can accumulate
on your boots before finally being unable to walk.
From Paglesham Church End take the Paglesham Road back to the Golf course and so
return to Canewdon.
In my capacity as footpath supremo I am o en asked to conduct guided walks which I
think never work as we all walk at a different pace. This can lead to arguments
between the fast and slow walkers and is why you o en see fights among members of
The Ramblers Associa/on savagely bea/ng each other with Thermos flasks and
Tupperware containers.
Finally I have been advised by Essex County Council that in the event of a no deal Brexit
they will be unable to properly maintain the footpaths, so no change there!

Canewdon Prayer Group
It’s wonderful to be able to start this entry with thanksgiving for answered prayer! At long
last a new Vicar has been appointed, something for which we have been praying for our
village for quite a long time! It was a marvellous experience for our prayer group to be at
the installation of the Rev. Ernie Guest on 22nd January, and we continue to pray for him
as he gets to know his parishioners and begins his ministry among us.
Our meetings through the winter months continue to be at our house, 25 Althorne Way,
on the third Monday of each month at 8pm. The next two will be on Monday 18th March
and Monday 15th April. Do make a note of these dates in your diary; you would be very
warmly welcomed. And if you cannot make it yourself but have something you’d like us
to pray for, just let us know on 257446. There is nothing more exciting than to have
things to give thanks for when God answers prayer!

                                                                  Street just a er you turn
                                                                  right at the top of
Sycamore Way. Its front wall was closer to the High Street than the modern house.
There were two parts to the property at Mill House as seen in the photo the actual house
and a separate single-story L shaped building just to the west nearest the camera that
would have been originally used by the miller for storage and probably also containing a
small workshop.
The actual windmill that was built to grind corn was located to the rear
of the property about where the entrance is to Church Green is now. It
was a wooden post mill, that is a wooden body that contained all the
equipment including the mount for the sails and in this case two pairs of
stones, the en/re structure could be turned to face the wind. It had no
brick roundhouse at its base, with the lower support structure open,
hence the need for a separate storage building. This type of windmill was
quite dangerous as 3 men were killed by the sails over the years!
In the early 1880’s, the mill burnt down. The mill house was owned and
rented out by The Canewdon Trust un/l it was deemed too expensive to repair.
In the distance can be seen the end wall and
chimney of the house that was then known as
‘Mayfair’. It became the post office in 1939,
complete with a telephone switchboard
required because of the extra phone lines
needed for the radar sta/on, today the house
is known as ‘The Old Post Office.’
The houses on the le were known as
Canewdon Hall Co>ages. They survive today
somewhat extended and re-built and are now
‘Three Elms’ and ‘Nimrod Co>age.

A belated wish for a very Happy New Year to you all. I can’t believe it’s
February already, over 6 weeks since all the fran/c rush and tear geHng
ready for the Christmas celebra/ons.
We held our Christmas Party at our December mee/ng with a buffet and
entertainment by our members. Most surprising the hidden talents shown!
In January a very good meal was enjoyed at The Shepherd and Dog for our
Christmas/New Year Celebra/ons, finding it be>er to spread the
celebra/ons into a quieter period.
David Clarke, our January speaker, was most interes/ng telling us about the
various places he had visited in Pompeii and surrounding areas.
This month we have our annual quiz and March we will be having our ever
popular cra evening.
Why not make a late New Years Resolu/on to come along on the second
Monday in the month and be a visitor at our WI? You will be greeted with a
glass of wine and made most welcome.

Sue Woodford
Canewdon WI President
