Well, we’re into spring, hedges and trees are coming into leaf and early
blossoms brighten the outlook. The birds are in their best plumage and
grass growth is improving, though the frequent frosts and cold north east
winds are doing their best to slow it down.
The Covid 19 vaccine is being rolled out at an amazing pace and infection
rates are coming down. Now, with the lockdown restrictions easing, there
is an air of optimism for the approaching summer.
All the above is good news but, sadly, tempered by the death of His Royal
Highness Prince Philip. Our flag on the church is flying at half mast, the
first time I can remember. We are hearing a lot, in the many tributes to
Prince Philip, about his life and the enormous amount of work and effort
he has put into his role as consort to the Queen. He has been a wonderful
ambassador with amazing foresight, which we are now learning about.
His speeches, some many years ago, regarding the loss of habitats,
threats to our wildlife, and changes necessary to put things right were
way in advance of the experts’ advice only recently brought to the fore.
I am sure that we all, at Wrangle, offer our sincere condolences to Her
Majesty the Queen and to all the Royal Family at their sad loss.
We all know of people who have benefitted greatly from taking part in the
Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme.
Now, I saw my first swallow, at the sea bank on 30th March, three more at
our lake on 1st April and five there the following day. A single house
martin on 5th April – not many flies for them yet!
Do let’s be careful and stick to the guidelines. The future is up to
everyone. Let us enjoy it wisely.

New Way, New Life, New Hope – Old Wisdom
Easter is the time Christians celebrate what is the almost unbelievable news of the
resurrection of Jesus after he was brutally and publicly killed by a regime that were
experts at it. People then discovered that life would not be the same again. There
is now a new way of life and a new hope.
After the restrictions of the Pandemic this season, we are finding that we cannot go
back to the old ways but that we can look forward to a better future by discovering
new ways to live. Our prime concern is not ourselves but the wellbeing and safety
of others. It is interesting that right from the 2nd book in the bible we are
encouraged to love one another so that all will go well with the people.
That same Ancient maxim is still true day as we discover how to adjust the way we
live for a better future. This doesn’t just apply to the pandemic but also to our love
and care for the earth and its creatures, the love and care for those we work with
and also our friends and family.
So as we slowly move forward let us remember to love one another and use our
God given creativity to make life better in the future with an eye on some wisdom
and experience of the past to help us.
God Bless You, Andrew J Higginson

Fly-Tipping – A costly blight on the landscape
Witham Fourth District IDB, together with other local IDBs and
councils contribute to the £32,000 annual budget of FLYSWAT,
a local initiative using Vans and North Sea Camp inmates to
collect tipped rubbish.
According to Boston Borough Council, compared to June 2019
when there were 68 fly-tips reported, June 2020 saw near
4-fold increase to 254. From March to June 2019 there were 342 incidents
whereas the same period in 2020 there were 798, more than double the
incidents. This figure has gone up since June 2020 owing to the pandemic and
the recent restrictions in place at the local recycling centres.
Unfortunately, irresponsible people also dump litter into the local drainage
network managed by Witham Fourth IDB, which we recover as it is too
dangerous for FlySwat operatives to enter into our drains:

I would urge local residents to be aware of this issue, and if you see anyone
dumping rubbish or see anything suspicious, please contact the FLYSWAT team
at the following email address with relevant information, photographs etc: etc:
                       flyswat@boston.gov.uk
Thank you!

Census 2021
Census population estimates are vital in helping to shape the communities in
which we live and work. Billions of pounds are allocated to local authorities
every year using census information. It is important that census estimates are
accurate, so these funds are allocated where they are needed. To get accurate
estimates, we need a good response to the census from all areas and
communities. Please be sure to fill out your Census to help our area get the
funds we are entitled to.
Census officers are out and about helping households who have yet to
complete the census. Safety is paramount for us all and all staff have been
supplied with PPE and are working within government COVID-19 guidelines. If
you do get a knock on the door by one of their officers they will identify
themselves as being from the Office for National Statistics and will always
carry an official ID badge.
 If you haven’t already completed your Census you can fill it in now at
                    http://ow.ly/gRFM50Ehs7F
                    For more information, please visit

Wrangle (St Mary and St Nicholas Churchyard) Commonwealth War Graves
Did you know that the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) are commemorating War
Graves week from 21 – 28 May 2021?
Did you know that we have 7 war graves in Wrangle’s Churchyard?
From WWI we have:
Lance Corporal George Saul, 10th Battalion, Lincolnshire Regiment, died 3 June 1918
Private C Walker, West Yorkshire Regiment, died 27 August 1918
Lance Corporal W Walker, Royal Fusiliers, died 9 November 1918 aged 23, Distinguished Conduct
Medal, son of Alfred and Eliza Walker, Station Road, Old Leake, born at Wrangle.
Sapper John George Simpson, Canadian Railway Troops, died 21 November 1918 aged 19, son of
Alfred and Lizzie Simpson of Wrangle.
Private Richard Henry Leary, 1st/6th Battalion North Staffordshire Regiment, died 29 July 1920, son of
Richard and Mary Elizabeth Leary of Wrangle.
From WWII we have:
Volunteer Cyril Harness, 1st Holland (Boston) Battalion Home Guard, died 18 August 1941
Leading Stoker Benjamin Frank Barber, HMS Ark Royal, Royal Navy, died 17 October 1943 aged 26.
Son of Frank and Gertude Barber, Old Leake.
Not all war graves are made of traditional Portland stone as some are made from slate or granite.
Some have personal inscriptions at the request of the family and others don’t have the traditional
headstone as families were able to choose private memorials instead. Many of these headstones are
now over 100 years old so are historic monuments.
The CWGC has records of casualties and will maintain any CWGC war graves but families remain
responsible for private memorials. Where there is no known grave, individuals will be remembered on
a memorial. My own great Great Uncle, Serjeant Maurice Gault, 8th Battalion Royal Berkshire
Regiment, who died on 25 Sep 1919, is remembered in the Loos memorial in France. I visited the
memorial in 2019 and laid a poppy cross.
The names of all those from our village who gave their lives during WWI and WWII are
commemorated on the war memorial close to the church. These names are:
WWI
Eligh Burr, George Clarke, Jonas Clarke, Joseph Cole, George Coupland, William Dawson, William
Futter, Basil Hammond, Cyril Harrison, William Henry Haw, Fred Lamming, John Thomas Lea,
Samuel Leggate, Edward Lowe, Earnest Metcalf, Leonard Metcalf, Arthur Pickwell, Earnest Roberts,
Samuel Walker, Donner White and George Wilkinson
WWII
Leslie Alfred Dobson and Jack Robinson
There is a circular walk (2 miles) starting from Wrangle Parish Hall which allows walkers to stop by
the war memorial and church so you can visit the war graves. It follows pavements, roads and public
footpaths. The website below contains a map and directions.

Nature’s Gift
  I’ve created a gentle world;         There is no competition,
     true ‘Pollyanna’ style,            no clamour to be heard,
      where happily I relax        just flowers, trees and calmness
     for just a little while…      and the occasional passing bird!

   There is no blaring music,       We all need a quiet corner;
or voice with discordant chime.        somewhere to unwind.
 It is a world of peacefulness,    A restful space, away from life
    a welcome break in time.       where peace of mind we find…
                                                             © Annette Borrill
A tiny ‘woodland-glen’ beyond;
 pine needles on the ground.
Violets, scattered everywhere,
in the undergrowth are found.
The whisper of the willow wands,
      the rustle of the rest;
     treasured tranquil time
where nature knows what’s best.          © Annette Borrill

Cllr George Danby, Chairman of the Parish Council, gave the following report
at the Annual Parish Meeting, held remotely on 06 April 2021:
It seems so soon, but another year has passed, and it has been a year when I
have several firsts to report.
We held a successful First Aid course, in the Parish Hall, for members and
interested parishoners.
The Parish Council helped the formation of the Wrangle Local History Group
with a donation towards set-up costs.
We obtained a £5000 grant which has enabled us to refurbish the toilet block
at the Recreation Field.
All members were issued with a new, dedicated email address for Council
correspondence.
A dementia talk was arranged and proved very informative.
A personnel committee was elected, consisting of chairman, vice chairman and
Cllr Seymour.
Sadly, the lead thieves finally attacked our lovely church, on two occasions,
creating a lot of work and expense. Thankfully, the culprits have now time to
consider their actions at Her Majesty’s pleasure.
We have provided new goals for the Recreation Field.
At our September meeting we welcomed a new member, Cllr Wrisdale,
following a shortfall at the May election.
As usual, we laid a wreath at the war memorial on Remembrance Sunday.
Fly tipping and littering still seem to be a problem. It’s such a shame that a
minority feel it is alright to blight the countryside for everyone.
S137 donations were given out as usual. Recipients were the Church, Chapel,
Youth Club and Bowls Club.
The Community Orchard produced some good fruit, though still not up to
expectation.
My thanks to Teddy, our clerk, for all her hard work and diligence, and to Bryan
my Vice Chairman and all members for your support and work over the year.
I wish you all good health, and good luck for the year ahead.

1 incident of violence at Bull Drove; 3 suspicious circumstances at Brick Lane, Main Road and
Chapel Lane; 1 transport hazard at Main Road and 1 traffic offence at Wrangle Bank.
The Borough Councillor had nothing to report
The County Councillor reported:
A collapsed drain on the A52 has stopped the vibration to the properties in that area, for some
reason. Pot holes will be filled prior to the scheduled surface dressing taking place. LCC have
provided the drainage board with the finances to do the work required at The Gride. Lincolnshire
has five and a half thousand miles of road to keep in order, but received the lowest amount of
funding for highways from the Government.
Recreation Field
The Football Club are applying for a grant and want to use the money to improve facilities in the
pavilion, showers, kitchen etc. There were no problems with this, should the grant be approved.
The toilet block has been refurbished and should be used by the football team, there are no drains
at the pavilion to allow for a toilet there. A resident has some concerns about some trees at the
recreation field. It was resolved to have a look at the trees to see if any action should be taken
since the work previously recommended has been carried out.
       Glass can be mixed in the glass banks when the required one is full.
     Fly-tipping should be reported to the Borough Council on 01205 314200

Highways
There is a deep drop at the bend in Broadgate, by Swanmore Lane. A local farming company is
piping and filling in a dyke at Main Road, where the road is very narrow. A good, and much needed
job has been done in this area.

Dog walkers are reminded that they MUST pick up after their dogs – if
you walk along a public footpath then others do too. The footpaths are
there for everyone to enjoy and keep their families safe. Dog waste can
