Dear Friends,
When I was a curate my vicar attended a course for Training
Incumbents at St George’s, Windsor. When he returned I
remember him telling us that the then Dean of Windsor
informed them he felt completely drained after spending a
weekend with the Queen and Prince Philip, because they had
read all the latest theological works and wanted his opinion
on the authors. And they wanted his opinion on who was an
up-and-coming clergyman, and what he thought of so-and-so.
The Dean said that he often felt the need of a holiday to
recover from these weekends!
We do not somehow imagine the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh reading theological
books, but according to the Dean of Windsor they do because she takes her duties as
Supreme Governor of the Church of England very seriously, and her faith is important to her.
When she is at Sandringham she attends the church, not because she has to, but because
she wants to. And she arrives just before the service begins, enters by a side door and sits in
a side pew, (not in the royal pew in the front) because she doesn’t want to disturb the service.
She is there as a parishioner and worshipper.
The Queen has looked in two directions for almost the whole of her life: upwards towards
God and outwards towards her people. At her Coronation every part of the service
emphasised that she was committing herself to serving her people as a servant of God.
Whilst surrounded by a priceless array of jewels, she was presented with an object described
as “the most valuable thing that this world affords” - which was the Holy Bible. This book
shows us what God is really like. It reveals his love to us in what his son Jesus accomplished
for us, and it teaches us how we should live our lives and show his love to others in a life of
service.
The most sacred moment of the Coronation is not the actual
crowning, but is when the Archbishop anoints the monarch with holy
oil showing that the Queen or King is being set apart, not to be
served, but to serve and love all their people. And I believe that it was
this moment which convinced her both of her vocation and of God’s
power to help her live it.
There is much more to Queen Elizabeth than her faith in Jesus, but
we cannot understand her without understanding her devotion to him,
for it shapes everything she does or says. As Jeremy Paxton has
said, her religious beliefs are “quietly held and are authentic and wellknown”.
In a broadcast before her Coronation she asked the people to “Pray
that God may give me wisdom and strength to carry out the solemn promises I shall be
making, and that I may faithfully serve him and you, all the days of my life”.
As we celebrate her 90th birthday this year it is clear that God has answered those prayers.
And for that we give thanks both to God and to Her Majesty.
May God bless you.
Your Priest and Friend,
Edward Ward

FROM THE EDITOR
On our cover this month are photos of last year’s Clypping Service at St Peter’s,
Edgmond. This ancient tradition takes place every year on our Patronal Festival – St
Peter’s Day or an adjacent Sunday – and it is the high point of a weekend of
festivities for the church and the village. All residents of Edgmond, together with
their friends and relatives, are invited to come along to St Peter’s to “clyp” (clasp,
encircle) the church building and invoke blessings upon the village for the coming
year. A good turnout is needed to ensure that with everyone standing hand in hand
around the church, the clypping is completed successfully and the tradition is kept
alive, so do come on Sunday 26th June at 3.30 pm. See you there!
The next edition of the Parish Magazine and Village News will cover the month of
July 2016 and the deadline for contributions is Sunday, 5th June. I would be very
grateful if you can deliver your contributions in good time to me at the address on
the inside front cover – or you can email them to me at [email protected].
And I’m always delighted to receive your photos (preferably by email) not just for
the front cover, but also to illustrate your articles and contributions inside.
Don’t forget that you can also read this magazine online on both the village and
church websites (addresses on the front cover).
ADVANCE NOTICE - THE CLYPPING SERVICE
Please note that this year the Clypping Service – the service
unique to Edgmond - will take place on Sunday June 26 th at 3
pm, the Sunday before our Patronal Day (June 29th). As you all
probably know, the Clypping should take place either on the
Patronal Festival day or else on the Sunday within the octave of
the Patronal. However this year the Rector will be away on
July 3rd attending a family event, so we will be holding the
Clypping on June 26th.
This special and unique service is for the whole community, not just the church
congregation. On this occasion St Peter’s is acting as caretaker of the village’s
ancient traditions.
We hope that we will be able to complete the circle round the church as has been
done for the past 1000 years, if not more.

MUSIC SHARE - TUESDAY JUNE 21st
Our three Church Schools (St Peter’s, St Lawrence’s, and All Saints) are all involved
with Music Share this month.
This is a music event organised by the Cathedral when members of the Cathedral
Choir go out to schools and hold a music day in a group of church schools, teaching
them various styles of singing etc. It is part of the Cathedral’s outreach to the
Diocese. Members of the Cathedral Choir will sing Evensong, and then the children
will put on a concert in which they will perform what they have been practising.
Parents, Governors, and members of the congregations are warmly invited to attend
the concert in St Peter’s Church, Edgmond, which should commence at approximately
5.30 pm and finish at 6.30 pm.
We are very grateful to Cathy Lamb and her team for agreeing to come and arrange
all this for our three schools.
THE QUEEN’S 90TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS
On Sunday June 12th there will be a shortened 10.30 am service
at St Peter’s, Edgmond to celebrate the Queen’s 90th Birthday,
followed by a Bring–and-Share Lunch which will follow the
service as soon as possible.
Bellringers throughout the country will ring bells to mark the Queen’s Birthday on
Sunday afternoon, so as soon as they can after the lunch, our Edgmond Bellringers
will ring St Peter’s church bells.
Everyone is warmly invited to come to the church service at 10.30 am and also to the
Bring-and Share lunch in the church. If you would like to attend and to provide some
refreshment, please write your name against the item of food you are providing on
the list in the church.
COFFEE AND CHAT
The next Thursday Coffee Morning at St Peter’s Church,
Edgmond will be on Thursday, June 16th following the 9.30 am Holy
Communion Service. You don’t have to attend the service to be
able to have a cup of coffee. Just turn up at the church at about 10.00 am or
thereabouts, and join us for coffee (or tea) and a chat. We shall look forward to
seeing you.

RECTOR’S 25TH ANNIVERSARY
We’ve discovered, thanks to the Archdeacon, that this year will be the 25 th
anniversary of the Rector’s Induction as our Rector. It was on November 6th 1991 at
St Peter’s that Edward was inducted as Rector of Edgmond, Kynnersley and Preston
upon the Wealdmoors. It is rather rare these days to find a Parish Priest who has
stayed so long in one parish or group of parishes, so let’s organise a celebration.
HEALING SERVICE
Just to remind you all that the next monthly Healing Service at St Peter’s, Edgmond
will be held on 12th June at 6.30 pm.
VILLAGE CUSTOMS
Two more ancient customs of Edgmond were able to take place this year.
On Rogation Sunday (Fifth Sunday of Easter) the Rogation procession took place as
part of the 10.30 am service and, following the centuries-old tradition, both prayers
and God’s blessing were pronounced upon the recently sown seeds, the growing
plants, all animals, and the land and community.
On Ascension Day a small group climbed the church tower after the early morning
service to sing hymns at the top of the tower in honour of the ascension of Jesus. St
Peter’s is one of the few churches to continue this tradition.
The next meeting will be on Thursday 9th June at 2.15 pm in St Peter’s Church,
Edgmond, when we will celebrate the Queen’s 90th Birthday with tea and cake.
Everyone is welcome. For further information and/or help with transport please
contact Margaret Matthews on 825976.

THE FRIENDS OF ST PETER’S CHURCH EDGMOND
The Friends of St Peter’s committee would like to thank Anne Furniss for her
generosity in opening her woods for snowdrop walks and bluebell walks with
tea/coffee and cake and donations to the Friends. It has been lovely for people to
enjoy a spring walk and enjoy the hospitality in the Stables kitchen. The committee
would also like to thank the Flower Guild for their very generous donation of £400
to the Friends.
Past event
We welcomed 34 children and their parents to the Children’s Workshop which took
place on Good Friday 25th March. There was a variety of activities to engage the
children including making cards, a banner and an Easter garden. We also made
friendship bands, face masks, egg baskets, goggles and biscuits. We are grateful to
all of the volunteers who helped with the registration, activities and refreshments;
we would not be able to run this without you.

PARISH WARDEN’S REPORT
From the village perspective, nothing of any major significance was reported to the
Police during April.
On 16th April a drunk male was reported as in the road by The Lamb – at 11.02 am!
On 27th April a road sign from Ford was found outside The Lamb, and another sign
found some 200 yards nearer to Newport, were recovered and returned to the
Highways Department.

John Keeping (813125)
U3A NEWPORT (SHROPSHIRE) BRANCH
The speaker for the April meeting of the Newport U3A was
John Butterworth who gave a fascinating account of the
history of the Lion Hotel, Shrewsbury. We heard some of the
many famous people who had stayed at the hotel, including a
local legend, “Mad Jack” Mytton who paid electors £10 each
to vote for him. The exercise cost him over £10,000, at 1819 values but he only spent
30 minutes in the House of Commons and he ended up in debtors’ prison, dying at the
age of 38. A more conventional Shrewsbury MP, Benjamin Disraeli, who used the
hotel as his political base later went on to become Prime Minister.
When In 1817 the Lion was up for sale it was recognised as one of the top hotels in
the country and a significant and popular stop over on the stage coach network. The
hotel benefitted from improvements in stage coach travel at this time; in 1730 the
journey from London took 12 days compared with 16 hours in 1820. In the 1840s the
stage coach was superseded by the railway, the last coaches were sold off and the
hotel’s fortunes suffered something of a decline.
Over the years the hotel has continued to attract a wide range of celebrities from all
areas of public life and the entertainment industry. Charles Darwin started off on his
world voyage from the Lion, Paganini performed in the hotel and Charles Dickens
stayed on a number of occasions. Later guests included The Beatles, Morecambe &
Wise and Cliff Richard and the hotel continues to attract performers visiting the town.
Apparently the hotel also has at least five ghosts who put in appearances from time to
time! – A visit will never seem quite the same!
Tuesday 21 June 2016 - David Bartley returns with "An afternoon of Black Country
poetry and banter".
The venue for all meetings is the Royal British Legion Club, Audley Road, Newport.
The meetings commence at 2 pm. Admission £1. With the exception of the AGM,
visitors are always welcome.

NEWS FROM EDGMOND PARISH COUNCIL
I expect that by now you will have heard that Gladman Developments is proposing a
new residential development of approximately 85 homes on Land off Shrewsbury
Road. If a formal planning application is made the Parish Council will again listen to all
views on this proposal and make representations to the Local Authority on your
behalf.
The AGM was held on 9th May. The format of this meeting is the same each year: all
Members read and signed their formal ‘Acceptance of Office’, the Chairman and
Deputy Chairman were elected, membership of Committees was agreed, Standing
Orders and Financial Regulations were agreed, bankers and auditors were agreed and
a meeting schedule for 2016/2017 was also agreed. All this information is available
on the website.
Work progresses to get the new website up and running. The new transparency
requirements mean that there are more documents to prepare and publish.
The new Rights of Way partnership between Edgmond, Tibberton and Waters Upton
Parishes means that we can plan work to maintain and improve our rights of way more
effectively. Over time we hope that you will notice an improvement in the clearance
of vegetation and the provision of replacement signs. The partnership will also
include landowners and we thank them, in advance, for their support in this initiative.
As usual at this time of year - we ask that you look at your boundary hedges, trees
and shrubs and make sure that they are not overhanging the highway or our
pavements and causing an obstruction.
Finally - we are still concerned about the thoughtless few who do not clear up after
their dogs. We know that most people are considerate and we thank everyone who
does ‘pick up’ and bin their poo bags. PLEASE remember - not picking up and disposing
of your dog’s poo is anti-social; it’s a health hazard and is just downright nasty.
Edgmond Parish Council will, in the future, be participating in a special scheme to try
to put a stop to this activity. PLEASE PICK UP AND DISPOSE OF YOUR DOG’S
POO.

EDGMOND VILLAGE HALL
We hope building work on the new
village hall extension will have
started by the time you read this

building itself should start towards
the end of the month and is
scheduled for completion by the end of October. We would like to remind all village
hall users that the area around the village hall is now a building site. Every effort will
be made to make the site as safe as possible but we would ask that everyone take
extra care when using the hall, car park and field at this time.

EDGMOND METHODIST CHAPEL
Edgmond Methodist Chapel closed for worship, as you are most probably aware, on
8th May and it is now administered by Telford Methodist Circuit.
The Circuit Leadership Team is considering, among other options, the possibility of
the chapel building continuing to have a role within the Edgmond community. With
this in mind, the Team plans to hold a meeting with interested residents at a later
date. In the meantime, they would like to hear from anyone who would be willing to
help in driving forward ideas for its use. The Rev’d James Whately can be contacted
by email on [email protected] or by telephone on 01952 813959.

DRESS A GIRL AROUND THE WORLD
Imagine a world where every child owned at least
one new, special garment to call their own’ it really
does make you stop and think doesn’t it, because
there are many places in the world today where
children don’t. Sadly, many of those who do need
clothes are overlooked and potentially open to
abuse.
Dress a Girl Around the World UK is a Christian organisation which helps people to
make simple, but exceptionally well-constructed clothes for children living in poverty in
the developing world. During this short time volunteers across the UK have made over
25,000 dresses and shorts for children around the world.
The most important thing about the Dress a Girl project is that these children,
irrespective of gender, have beautiful, sturdily made clothes that must withstand the
rigours of having to be worn every day, with the knowledge that their recipients will
probably have no access to washing machines, detergents or ironing
facilities. Therefore, the standards of assembly are especially high, and they are made
with quality fabrics, as it important to make sure that the fabric is not see-through to
maintain the dignity of the children.
The clothes distributed to these children raise their self-esteem and help them to
understand that others really do care about them. Most importantly, village elders
have told Dress a Girl that a new dress or pair of shorts gives them an appearance of
being cared for and may discourage would-be predators.
All of the dresses have pockets in, which are especially appreciated to put a special
little treasure in - sometimes that might even be just a pretty pebble, as many of these
children do not have anything that they can call their own.
The Sewing Lab is hosting a sewing event on Sunday 24th June in Telford – do please
contact us if you would like to come along. We now have some very beautiful fabrics
or you can bring along your own. Volunteers don’t need to know how to sew, but just
need to have an enthusiasm to learn to sew and help those in poverty. Alternatively,
we can provide sewers with the patterns and sewing instructions for those that would
like to sew dresses and shorts at home, or knit teddy bears.
More recently, we have also been making washable, reusable sanitary products for
older girls because no girl should have to miss school because she has entered
puberty. However, according to UNICEF, one in ten schoolgirls in Africa miss classes
or drop out of school completely due to menstruation. You may think that because
sanitary products are readily available where you live that it is the same everywhere
else, this is most certainly not the case in all countries. The Sewing Lab has the Zorb
fabric for making sanitary ware and will be happy to share this and the instructions for
construction, please contact them if you would like a piece of this to use.

Dr Hitch, whose company The Sewing Lab is hosting the Telford event, has recently
been appointed editor of the Dress a Girl UK newsletter. Dress a Girl UK is a wholly
independent not-for-profit organisation, affiliated to Dress a Girl Around the World in
the United States and is a stem of the Hope4Women charity. Their aim is to encourage
and enable volunteers to join together to have a fun time to chat, and share skills and
experiences whilst making dresses, shorts and toys which are distributed throughout
the world to children in poverty and areas of need. They provide newly made
garments as a ‘very best gift’ to children in need, so do not accept second hand
garments.
