Pastoral Letter
'Out of the mouths of babes...'
Uppermost in my mind as I write this letter are tough decisions that I
need to make. Of course, not on the scale of those facing politicians
and world leaders about the best response to worsening crises in
Iraq, Syria or the Ukraine or even that facing members of the Church
of England's General Synod who this month will debate once again
the legislation enabling women to become bishops, but nevertheless
my decisions continue to occupy much of my waking and what should
be my sleeping hours.
Of course, we make decisions every day of our lives, probably every
hour, so I say to myself 'what's the difference here?' So how do we
make decisions? By ourselves or talking options out with others? By
logically weighing up the pros and cons or simply by listening to
instinct? As a Christian my natural response is to pray - in St
Matthew's Gospel he quotes Jesus who says 'do not worry about
your life, about what you will eat or drink, look at the birds of the air..
Yet your Father feeds them. Can any of you by worrying add a single
hour to your life?'. It all sounds so simple, but alas
God doesn't send email messages saying 'Karen,
what you need to do here is x or y...' and so I
continue to struggle to make the best choice.
What Christians believe is that when we pray for
help God provides answers in other ways, that he doesn't abandon
us. I'm surrounded by friends who love, support and advise me - alas,
sometimes offering opposing views - and a wise counsellor who
simply says to go with the decision that feels right, that gives me
peace in my heart. Help! I think I'm getting there now, but on
reflection the most comforting words of all are those that have come
from a completely unexpected source - a card in childish handwriting,
left on my seat in Chapel where I'd come for Morning Prayer, which
said simply 'God says you're doing it right. He loves you no matter
what you do and He will never leave you'. All I know is that this and
other cards around the Chapel originated from a group calling itself
'Children Changing Nations' - talk about 'out of the mouths of babes'-
which got me thinking, if children can be that helpful to me, what
bigger scale challenges could they solve?
Here's wishing you a summer filled with decisions no more
complicated than beach or a bike ride? ice cream or BBQ? sunshine
or shade? Karen

COUCH TO 5K (C25K) - NEW RUNNING COURSE COMING SOON
Due to the success of Sherfield Park Runners'
first C25K course earlier this year, we are
running another one!
Dependent on numbers, the 9 week course will
start in a few weeks every Thursday at 7pm
and each session will last between 30-40 minutes. No previous
running experience is necessary - just a decent pair of trainers and
the willingness and determination to want to run and get fit.
Course cost will be 20.

As we come to the end of the school year and anticipate
summer holidays
We wait in hope for the Lord; he is our help and our shield. In
him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. May your
unfailing love be with us, Lord, even as we put our hope in you.
Psalm 33: 20-22
Prayer for the Month
Almighty and loving God, we thank you for the
assurance we have that you are always with us, that in
you we will find help and strength in times of trouble,
that whatever we face, you will always be there to
reach out and save us. We thank you to hold firmly to us, even
when we try and struggle from your grasp. We thank you that
your mercy never runs dry despite our repeated faithlessness.
We thank you that your patience is never exhausted no matter
how many times we let you down. Almighty and loving God take
our faith, weak though it is. Kindle the sparks of life within us
and fan a new flame of love within our hearts; and so may we set
out into another month with renewed purpose resolved to live
and work for you, in the assurance that you are with us now and
always. Great is your faithfulness now and always. Through
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
Prayer Points for July
Give thanks for the success of all the village events of the last
month and for the joy of the fellowship experienced by all who
attended them.
Pray for all the very many Scripture Union and other Christian
camps for children organised all over the country. May those who
attend feel the touch of your Holy Spirit.
Pray for those who have recently married and for those who are
to be married in the next two months.
Pray for an end to the continuous violence in the Afghanistan
and Syria, pray especially for our troops as they look forward to
an end to their service In Afghanistan.

Hartley Wespall Regatta
The 15th June was a huge success with about 250 people coming
along. We had loads of young children who thoroughly enjoyed
splashing around in the water entering the very varied homemade
boats in the different categories, including buying a duck or a tennis
ball and having a go at the various side shows. It was a very happy
and friendly atmosphere. Philip Van-Grutten won the overall winner's
cup. The regatta was held at the beautiful home and garden of John
and Jane Malarkey who live at the Mill, which made a perfect setting
for the occasion, so huge thanks to them both.
The Friends of Hartlley Wespall are very grateful to their sponsors,
Tescos, Tylney Hall, Tylney Golf, Scats, The Coach and Horses and
The Shop in Sherfield on Loddon, who all help to keep our
Churchyard in good order for at least a year.

Songs of Praise June 2014
This years post fete Songs of Praise on the
Green was a big success, with 126 in
attendance, and although the sun didnt
shine it did stay dry.
Big thanks go to Tadley Concert Brass who
once again kindly played for us.
The collection was for Mercy Ships to help
them in the important medical aid they give
to poorer countries particularly in Africa.
There was also a fantastic display about the soldiers who are named
on the village War Memorial.
We have just celebrated Pentecost. In the Bible we read that 3,000
new and young Christians were starting something new on that day.
Pentecost is often called the church's birthday. We in our church are
looking forward to the completion of our new extension which will allow
us to welcome the wider village community. The village, the Parish
Council, the Shop and hundreds of individuals, have supported and
continue to support, our church project by helping us raise money and
attending our events. We are very grateful for the villages help and
support. We are nearly there and the new building will be opened on
the 27
th
of July (see P16) and look out for the publicity material. The
Songs of Praise was followed by the rededication of the war memorial.

Loddon Sports Junior F.C.
With the season 2013/2014 now behind us we can reflect
on the events of the past nine months. Following an
atrocious spell of wet weather, we, like so many other
sports clubs suffered from block cancellations of fixtures, with a complete
lack of football from mid December until the end of February. Thanks to
the dedication of the Cubs Team Managers and the players, many of
whom were playing a minimum of two matches a week during the latter
part of April and into May our fixture list was completed.
Sadly we were not amongst the honours at the end of the season but the
spirit of the players never let the club down. Our playing season ended with
our annual In House Tournament on May 18
th
when the sun actually
shone for us. This friendly tournament is when every club member take
part playing against each other. Our Lods Tods age group continues to
flourish for children in the 3
1
/
2
to 6 age group, these children both boys and
girls are the future of the club and the Saturday morning sessions are well
attended. Nevertheless we are always looking for more new players and
we never turn a child away, the emphasis is on coaching fun & enjoyment.
Parents pass the word around, we would love to have more young blood.
Two of our age groups have been using the fine facilities offered in
Stratfield Saye Recreation Ground, visiting clubs are very envious of us
when they play. The club would like to thank Stratfield Saye Parish Council
for allowing us to use these facilities and a special thanks to Richard
Gregory, our saviour with the mower, in keeping the playing area perfect.
The Clubs Presentation Day will be on Sunday July 20
th
in Sherfield
School Sports Hall and will be divided into three sections, morning , mid-
day & afternoon, the exact timings will be available nearer the date. This
will be followed during the week by the Clubs AGM. We are always looking
for new members for the Committee so please, give it some thought.
Training sessions for Season 2014/2015 will begin in early August and the
new season will kick off with the clubs Invitation Tournament to be held
over the weekend of August 30/31
st
on the village green when Loddon
Sports will play host to visiting clubs in the County.
On behalf of Loddon Sports I would like to offer my sincere thanks to all of
the committee and staff for the hard work during the past year and to the
parents for their support in our aim to offer football, enjoyment and
entertainment for boys and girls of all ages in the area .
Fred Berntsen / Club Secretary

Church Extension News. St. Leonards Church.
There will be a special service lead by the Rt. Rev. Tim
Dakin, Bishop of Winchester to dedicate the extension on
Sunday 27
th
July at 10.00 am. All are welcome.
Progress has been good recently helped by the fine weather.
By the time this is published the flint work should be complete
and the connection between the church and the extension in
place.
By the opening on 27
th
July
the toilets will be
completed and the flooring
and interior paintwork
done. A new oak door has
been fitted at the entrance
to the church as the old
one was in very poor
condition.
The bishop will unveil a
brass plaque to
commemorate the
opening. The trees on the
right of the picture, which
are in a poor state of
health and are a potential
danger, are due to come
down, subject to Faculty
approval from the Diocese,
(we have already received
approval from Basingstoke
and Deane Council for this
to be done).
There seems to be no
doubt that this extension
lies in total harmony with
the church and churchyard
itself.

The 1
st
Duke of Wellington and Stratfield Saye House
Stratfield Saye House has been home to the Dukes of Wellington for
nearly 200 years.
It was bought in December 1817 for
Arthur Wellesley, 1
st
Duke of
Wellington, with the money that had
been voted to him by Parliament, in
gratitude and recognition of his
outstanding service in the war
against Napoleon, culminating in the
decisive victory at Waterloo.
The young Arthur had joined the
army in 1787, aged 17. At that time
he was an awkward lad, with no
obvious military potential- his
mother commented on his chances
of success, he is food for powder
and nothing more. But Arthur had unexpected reserves of energy,
determination and focus and he proceeded to dedicate himself to military
service for the next 28 years, first in India and then in Portugal and Spain,
becoming the most successful General of the Age.
He was created Duke of Wellington in May 1814. Following the battle of
Waterloo, he was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Army of
Occupation and so lived in Paris for the next three years. The Dukes
former secretary, now an architect, Benjamin Dean Wyatt was instructed
to look for a suitable country estate in England.
At least ten other Houses were considered, such as Bramshill House and
Uppark, before Wyatt drew Stratfield Saye to the Dukes attention, writing,
I feel no hesitation in saying, that the estate possesses great beauty and
dignity and is capable of being made a princely Place.
The Duke of Wellington approved the estate on his first visit in September
1817. He liked the park, with the river Loddon flowing through it, the
(Continued on page 30)

Page 29

Page 30
woods and its relatively easy access to London and Windsor. He
planted a Cedar across the river from the house, which has now grown
into a magnificent tree.
Stratfield Saye House had originally been built in the 1630s, on the site
of an even older house, when Sir William Pitt, Comptroller of the
Household to James I, had acquired the estate from the Dabridgecourt
family. Sir Williams
great grandson
George Pitt, 1
st

Baron Rivers, who
also built the
present church,
made many
improvements to the
house and park,
planting trees and
dredging the
Loddon to create a
Broadwater to look like a lake in front of the house. It was his son, the
2
nd
Lord Rivers who sold the house and estate to the 1
st
Duke of
Wellington.
Wyatt had envisaged demolishing the existing house and building a
splendid new ducal Palace, as a more suitable setting for a Hero.
Magnificent plans were drawn up, but Wellington soon decided against
building a new house- he was pleased enough with the existing one
and more importantly, so were his wife and children.
The Duke had married Kitty Pakenham, daughter of Lord Longford, in
1806, and she had swiftly borne him two sons before he departed for
the Peninsular war. He did not return to England for six whole years,
whilst his family lived in a succession of rented houses. Stratfield Saye
(Continued from page 28)

Page 31
was the first family home he had ever owned.
The Dukes friends were very surprised at his choice of home. Robert
Peel described it as a wretched house, wretchedly furnished. Mrs
Arbuthnot, a long-term friend and correspondent, wrote in her journal, It
is not a nice place, seems damp and low, and the house is an
indifferent one for him.
But the Dukes reply was
always it is good enough
for me.
In the 34 years he lived
there he did much to
improve the house,
making it practical and, by
contemporary standards,
very comfortable. He
added a Bath stone porch
at the front door, to keep
draughts from the hall and he installed water closets, hidden inside
bespoke corner cabinets, in most bedrooms. During a trip to St
Petersburg in 1826, he was so impressed with the heating of houses in
Russia, that on his return he installed an early form of double glazing
and central heating at Stratfield Saye. The Duke wrote with pride to
Princess Lieven during the winter,
I have just seen the thermometers on my stairs and in the corridors
and hall. They remain at 64 Fahrenheit throughout.
In 1845 Queen Victoria indicated that she would like to come and stay.
The Duke was well aware that whilst his house was a comfortable
residence for himself, his family and friends, entertaining the Sovereign
and Her Court was a very different matter. He described his
predicament to his friend, Lady Wilton:
Alas, it is but true! The Queen is coming to pay me a visit at Stratfield
Saye. I did everything I could to avoid the subject, never mentioned the

Page 32

Page 33
word Stratfield Saye and kept out of her way. Poor Mrs Apostles, the
Housekeeper. I thought she would have burst out crying while I was
talking to her of the Honour intended and the preparations to be made.
But the visit passed very successfully, with the Queen and Prince Albert
very pleased with their stay. The Queen recorded in her journal,
Stratfield Saye is a low and not very large house, but warm and
comfortable. The Duke fetched us for luncheon at 2. He helped us
himself- rather funnily, giving such large portions, and mixing up tarts
and puddings together, but he is so kind and attentive about it.
The Duke died at Walmer Castle in September 1852 and is buried in the
crypt of St Pauls cathedral. But all these years later, nowhere holds a
stronger impression of Wellington the man, than Stratfield Saye.

Sherfield and District Gardening Club
We have two garden visits to look forward to in July. Our first
visit on the 7
th
is to Whispers near Dogmersfield. Visitors to
this garden say you could spend all day discovering new
plants in these 2 acres of
manicured lawns
surrounded by large
borders of colourful shrubs,
trees and long-flowering
perennials. Alstroemerias
and salvias are a particular
specialty of the owners,
John and Sally Selfe. There
is also a wild flower area, a
water storage system, a
greenhouse, a kitchen
garden and living
sculptures. A focal point of the garden is a spectacular waterfall which
cascades over large rock slabs and magically disappears below the
terrace. A garden not to be missed. If you cant make the 7
th
, the garden
is open under the NGS scheme on Sun 13
th
July (12-5).
Our second garden visit is on 21
st
July to Lower Lovetts Farm at Knowl
Hill. More details to follow. There is no meeting or garden visit in August.

Borough Councillors view from Chris Tomblin
Once again we had an excellent Sherfield fete, which
seemed well attended despite a couple of sharp showers.
It was good to see the village out and about having fun
amongst all the demonstrations and displays.
It hasnt been quite such fun back in the Borough
Chambers, where the change in the council following the elections
was more a case of meet the new boss same as the old boss; still
under Conservative control albeit with a minority. Even UKIP
continued to cause upset even though they did not bother to show up.
So I hope that as we move through the year we will see less political
manoeuvring and better outcomes for our electors.
I am still a member of Development Control and expect to see
applications for Minchens Lane and Strawberry Fields in Bramley
before long (a total of 400 homes). As a member of this committee I
must be seen to not pre-judge an application and whilst I welcome and
encourage you to let me have your views on the impacts to Sherfield, I
am unable to form an opinion before we debate the matter at the
meeting. Rest assured, however, that I will do my best to evaluate the
plans in detail such that I can be certain that the impacts on the area
do not outweigh the potential gains of any development.
The closing date for comments to the changes to the Local Plan has
now passed and I hope that as many of you as possible took the
opportunity to respond. All comments will be collated and passed to
the Government planning inspector as he reviews the entire plan.
Subject to any changes recommended then the plan is due for
adoption by the end of the year. Once in place the Borough should
have some protection from developers trying to take advantage of us
not having the plan adopted and the situation that we cannot
demonstrate a, 5 year, forward housing supply.
We witnessed the destruction of the small tree plantation along the
A33, just north of the Taylors Farm roundabout in early June. It is not
yet totally clear of the new owners intentions but the trees were felled
without a licence, the works paid little respect to HSE guidelines and
deliveries of hardcore suggested breaches of planning were in
progress. To that end your local borough councillors requested the
Borough act to stop the works. Tree preservation orders have been
placed on the remaining trees and an injunction served. Whether this

Page 49
will prove to be effective will been seen during the next few weeks.
By now all homes in the Parish will have received consultation on the
Governance review for Taylors Farm; to decide whether it should
become independent of Sherfield Parish Council, run its own Parish
Council or join with Chineham. The borough council need as much
feedback as possible to be able to make a recommendation from what
the majority of residents wish for. I hope that if the view is to be an
independent Parish Council, there will be at least 5 to 6 residents who
would be prepared to volunteer as Parish Councillors and they could
also find a clerk.
Until next time.. Chris

NWR held their annual evening ramble recently. The
route was a 3 mile circular walk around Rotherwick
which most people agreed was just the right distance.
It took us across fields with gorgeous views and large
flocks of sheep with their lambs, so the accompanying dogs had to be
kept under close control. Some were surprised at the lovely countryside
which cannot be seen from the roads and were inspired to return to
discover other paths. The final destination was the Coach and Horses
where a welcome pint and home-cooked food awaited us. It was
decided to repeat the walk during the daytime for those who could not
make it.
At the recent Sherfield Fete NWR ran the gift stall. We sell donated
unwanted gifts or nearly new items. The newly purchased gazebo was
very useful in protecting us from the elements when there were three or
four heavy showers and customers found it handy too! We made a
satisfying profit of 96 which was donated to the fete charities. Thanks
to all who helped and everyone who bought something!
Owing to fete preparations, our June meeting was postponed. It is
about researching our names. Later in June we are inviting our
husbands/partners and Bramley NWR on a barge trip on the John
Pinkerton on the Basingstoke Canal and in July we are talking about
white things, from snowdrops and lily of the valley to white goods.
For further information on NWR, please ring me on 882106.

Evergreens by May McQueen
This month we went on an outing to Millets Farm Centre Oxfordshire
instead of meeting in the village hall. We were joined by some friends
of the members and also members from the Women's Institute. There
is a very large garden centre, farm shop with a large selection of
produce, restaurants and children's play area and seasonal activities
during the year. The weather was quite good and everyone seemed to
enjoy themselves.
The next meeting on the 7
th
July is a talk about the Shaw Trust
The Womens Institute
Reported by Ilene Iles
Our June Meeting was opened by one of our
new Presidents, Glenda Holder, who welcomed
everyone and introduced Evelyn Holdaway and
Doris LEnfant, our other joint President.
The Business Meeting followed after Jerusalem had been sung with
enthusiasm. Our new Treasurer, Jill Sygrove, gave her first
Treasurers Report and other reports and matters were dealt with.
Those providing cakes and produce for the WI stall at the Sherfield
Fete were reminded to bring them to the stall before 12 noon.
Glenda then introduced us to our Speaker Linda MacDonald
whose subject was Shapes and Styles to flatter you Figure. Linda
gave us a very interesting, helpful, and at times, most amusing talk.
She gave us lots of tips on what and what not to wear to suit our
shapes and illustrated these with items from her own wardrobe.
Glenda gave the vote of thanks, a lovely tea followed and the raffle
was drawn.

The summer term has been a rich and enjoyable time. It is a term that
has a full range of activities from national testing to performances of
Shakespeare at the Haymarket. At the time of writing we have been
blessed with sunshine, something enjoyed by us all in one way or
another.
Our vision of #brilliantbramley; being the best we can be has continued
to be embedded across the school community.
It has been an excellent first term at Bramley for me personally. The
instinct that led me to apply for the position of Headteacher has proven to
be correct. The potential for excellence in the school and the community
is huge. Our unwavering drive to secure the best for every child will in
time see that excellence bear fruit.
Dont forget that in addition to our website and parent mail, we also have
a Facebook page and a Twitter feed. Our connections and partnerships
are vital to the success of the learning community.
Enjoy a restful and blessed summer.
Mr A Higgs - Headteacher www.bramley.hants.sch.uk
