1. FROM THE REV’D STEVE PAYNE
Dear Friends,
Eyes Wide Open
Over these next few months those who have a garden and have the time to
tend it can appreciate the richness and splendour of the beauty of God’s
world close to home.
The poet Dorothy Gurney wrote the much quoted words
2. “You're closer to God's heart in a garden, than any place on earth”.
These words as I understand them are not about embracing pantheism but rather recognizing that
the beauty and complexity that we see around us should lead us to praise and draw close to our
Creator.
As the psalmist testified of the created order:
“The heavens are telling the glory of God: and the firmament his handiwork”
(Psalm 19)
Such moments of reflection, whether in a private or public garden, can still the soul and prepare
the heart to listen to God who is always speaking.
When we moved into Hooe Vicarage, I decided to commandeer part of the large front lawn to
create an herbaceous border at the front of the house.
It of course involved some time and effort. The soil was dug over and a selection of plants ordered.
Since that time some plants have survived others have not. The border with a little yearly
maintenance has now taken on a life of its own, for in amidst the planned plantings other flowers
have taken up residence without any human intervention.
Calendulas, Nasturtiums and Red Valerian which has escaped from the walls around the vicarage
where it eked out a frugal existence to now enjoy the rich soil of the border. At first it was
tempting to root out these migrants but I haven’t because the border would be the poorer without
them.
In our lives there is the need to be intentional to make plans, to consider the future, to put in
place structure and shape to encourage growth in the way we respond to God. However we must
always be ready for those things that will surprise through which God may speak to us, a
conversation, a chanced meeting, such things can open up a new direction which we may not
otherwise have considered.
This has often been my experience in the way God works and this being the case it reminds me to
always pray with my eyes wide open.
May you enjoy and celebrate the richness of God’s good creation over these summer months.
God Bless
Steve

THE NEXT BISHOP OF CREDITON
On Tuesday 9th June, it was announced that the Revd. Dame
Sarah Mullally, currently Canon Treasurer at Salisbury Cathedral,
will be the next Bishop of Crediton.
“My calling as a Christian and now as Bishop has been shaped by my belief that we are called to be
witnesses to the generous love of God and the good news of Christ Jesus. In my future ministry in
the Diocese of Exeter I hope to encourage and enable Christians to grow in their faith, to share that
faith with confidence and to serve the people of Devon with joy.”
As Bishop of Crediton, she will primarily look after east and north Devon, though in common with the
Bishop of Plymouth, she will minister across the whole diocese.
She will be consecrated as Bishop of Crediton in Canterbury Cathedral on July 22nd, alongside the
first woman to be appointed as a diocesan bishop, the Venerable Rachel Treweek, who is to be
Bishop of Gloucester. Her Welcome Service in Exeter Cathedral will be at 4pm on Saturday 12th
September.
On a personal note, I welcome Dame Sarah’s appointment and I am sure that she will enrich the
Mission and Ministry across the Diocese of Exeter. Let us pray for her as she prepares to take on this
new role.

ST JOHN’S SPONSORSHIP OF CHURCH ARMY
For nearly two years the people of St John’s have been supporting a young man in South Sudan to
train as a Church Army Officer. The money has been paid quarterly through the wife of the Bishop
of Winchester, the Rev’d Sally Dakin, who is the British representative of Carlile College, Nairobi,
Kenya.
Jada James Zachariah is now finishing his second year of studying at Carlile College and we
received the following letter:-
“At Carlile College I have received knowledge and skills in preaching the gospel to those who
would be hearing about Jesus Christ for the first time. The training at Carlile has also helped me
to evangelize across different cultures. I have also learnt how to relate and associate with people
from different cultures. The training at Carlile College is helpful.
While in Southern Sudan, I am attached to a parish where I minister as an evangelist; preaching
the word of God, leading church services and door to door evangelism. I love this ministry because
it is God who called me into it. I therefore believe that there is something God has in store for me
as I continue serving Him. While at Carlile, I worship at a South Sudanese Church that is near the
Kibera Informal settlement.
Please pray that I will be successful in ministry both at Carlile and back at home.
Also pray that I may proceed well in my studies and for the good health of my family
members.
Also pray for the church and all the Christians in my home church so that they may know
that God is their protector and He sustains them.
Pray for my group members back at home with whom I evangelize.
God bless you abundantly for your continued support towards my learning at Carlile College.”
HONOURING THE MEN FROM HOOE & TURNCHAPEL
Dear All,
During June, three members of the Provost family had a very
memorable and moving week in Picardy and Flanders.
Tim Provost, churchwarden at St John the Evangelist, Hooe,
decided that on behalf of St John’s he would lay wreaths at the
graves of the seven local men who perished on the Western front
in the Great War of 1914 to 1918. Five of these men have known
graves – George Squires, Arthur Doney, George Pape, John
Gilpin and William Brain, while the other two, John Strudwick and
William Couling, have their names commemorated at two
memorials. The church caught his vision and supported his
project giving donations for the wreaths With dad as driver and
mum in the back of the car as an interested observer, and Tim as
navigator, we went to five very different Commonwealth war
cemeteries and two memorials: in France, Béthune, Athies, Cite
Bonjean cemeteries and the Thiepval Memorial to the Missing of
the Somme; and in Belgium, Mendinghem and La Plus Douve Farm cemeteries and Tyne Cot
Memorial to the Missing of the Ypres Salient. At each cemetery and the two memorials, Tim laid a
wreath and held a moment’s silence.
5. As part of his preparation, Tim had done a lot of research and found out a little about each of the men
such as where they had lived and the relatives they left behind. Two of the men were known to the
families of present day members of St John’s church. As the wreaths were laid we were able to think
of them as real people rather than just names.
We also took time to visit the Devonshire Cemetery, near Mametz Village, in the Department of the
Somme, a few miles east of Albert. It was at the end of the first day of the Battle of the Somme on 1st
July 1916, that over 160 men of the 9th and 8th Devonshire Regiment were killed. They were carried
back to the British Front Line trench position and buried in a section of the trench near a small wood
called Mansell Copse. At the entrance to this small cemetery is the inscription no doubt known to
many old Devonshire soldiers, “The Devonshires held this trench – the Devonshires hold it still.”
We had a couple of walks in the area of the Somme. The sun shone as we walked along paths
between fields of wheat and barley. Larks were singing and in the nearby woods we could hear the
song of a cuckoo. It was hard to believe the devastation that had once been there. Yet, Tim was able
to show us photos of the same panoramas that we were looking at taken after the battle with desolate
landscapes and woods turned to stumps of blackened tree-stumps. Also here and there where land
had not been ploughed we came across evidence of old trenches and shell holes.
It was sobering to reflect on all those young men who gave their lives for the country they loved. Are
we today worthy of that sacrifice? Have we as a nation progressed as a people? Is our world any
better today than it was then? If not, why not? These and other questions filled our minds as we
looked upon row and row of headstones, reading their names and ages – the youngest being only 16.
What can we do to ensure peace reigns where we live and work? Peace begins with us – in our
hearts, homes, families, communities and so on. Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers for they
shall be called children of God.” May we be found among those working and striving for peace.

YOUNG @ HEART’
Our meeting opened with Ruth welcoming everyone. There were our usual enquiries if we knew
who was ill that we should be thinking of; any June birthdays or planned holidays, etc.
Our Summer Party was discussed and the decision made to hold it in September as many were
looking forward to holidays in August.
Ruth then welcomed our speaker, Mrs Jean Mintoft from the Macular Society.
Jean had a very comprehensive knowledge of her subject indeed, she suffered herself from the
‘wet’ variety of Macular Degeneration.
She explained the difference between ‘Wet’ and ‘Dry’ Macular Degeneration. The ‘Wet’ is very
aggressive and very quick to develop. The ‘Dry’ is more gradual and easier to cope with.
She gave us tips on prevention of the disease and how to deal with it in the event of it manifesting
itself. It is very important to seek advice as soon as one suspects the start of the disease and then,
of course, to take given instructions very seriously. The inclusion of dark green vegetables in the
diet can help, i.e. kale, spinach, broccoli, etc.
Jean explained the way the disease presents itself. She had a few illustrative cards to help with her
talk, also some leaflets for us to take.
A few of us have experience of the disease, consequently finding the talk both helpful and
interesting.
To show our appreciation Eileen Cole gave a vote of thanks to Jean and we made a donation to the
Macular Society.
Our hymn and tea followed what was a very interesting afternoon’s talk.
At our next meeting our speaker will be Mr Graham Naylor from Plymouth City Museum. Graham
will talk with slides on the history of our area. Sounds exciting! Please try to be there.

7. IN MEMORIAM
KATH WATTS. It was with great sadness that we heard of the death of Kath Watts, one of
Oreston's well-known figures. Kath, who was 99 years of age when she died, started a Fruit & Veg
shop in Oreston with her late husband Harry Watts in the mid 1950's. This continued until the early
60's when Kath’s floral skills overtook the fruit and veg and the shop changed to 'H. Watts Florists'
and still thrives today.
A Thanksgiving Service took place at Oreston Methodist Church followed by a private burial.
FROM THE PARISH REGISTER. St Mary and all Saints
We welcomed into God’s family through Baptism at St Mary’s in April:-
JACK EDWARD CLARK, the son of Ross and Victoria Clarke.

"W" is for Woodpecker - Green Woodpecker
The largest of our three species of woodpecker (the others being the
Great Spotted and Lesser Spotted) and one of our most colourful
birds, easily recognised by its laughing “yaffle” call as it flies. They
have a great love of yellow meadow ants, and will return day after
day to a favourite anthill to feed. Another important reason to look
after our old meadow grassland in churchyards.
"X" is for Xanthoria parietina
A foliose or leafy lichen with common names such as common
orange lichen, yellow scale and maritime sunburst lichen. Look for
fairly large, wrinkly, leafy and bright orange lichen with some small
orange discs in the centre, although in shade it is greenish-grey.
10. With a wide distribution it’s found in sunny, exposed places such as rocky shores as well as inland
walls and trees. Xanthoria parietina tolerates air pollution and places rich in nitrogen such as walls, or
tree bark near farmyards, and stones with bird droppings such as occur in churchyards.
In the past it was used as a remedy for jaundice because of its yellow colour. It is known to have
antiviral properties inhibiting the human parainfluenza virus.
Xanthorai elegans or elegant sunburst lichen is a much darker orange and lacks the wrinkly
appearance. It has long lobes which stick closely to the stone surface and occurs on walls particularly
those with concrete caps.

ST SWITHIN’S DAY ~ 15th JULY
St Swithin (or more properly St Swithun) was an Anglo Saxon Bishop of Winchester and subsequently
patron saint of Winchester Cathedral.
Swithin died on 2nd July 862. According to tradition he had asked to be buried humbly. His grave was
just outside the west door of the Old Minster so that people would walk across it and rain fall on it in
accordance with his wishes.
In 971 his remains were dug up and moved to a shrine in the cathedral by Bishop Ethelwold.
Miraculous cures were associated with the event and his feast day is the date of the removal of his
remains not his death day.
However, the removal was also accompanied by ferocious and violent rain storms that lasted 40 days
and 40 nights and are said to indicate the saint’s displeasure at being moved. This is probably the
origin of the legend that if it rains on St Swithin’s feast day, the rain will continue for 40 days.
St Swithin’s Day if it dost rain
For forty days it will remain.
St Swithin’s day if thou be fair
For forty days ‘twill rain na mair.

‘LOVE YOUR PAST’
With thanks to a very generous individual, a wonderful collection of documents relating to the Rudyerd
and Smeaton lighthouses on the Eddystone Rock was donated to the Plymouth and West Devon
Record Office late last year. Dating from 1713 to 1759, the documents give information on the various
shareholders who leased the light, as well as the accounts for the building of Smeaton’s Lighthouse.
These include the names of tradesmen supplying goods and undertaking various works.
12. The documents also show the shaky financial position of the backers and the need for further
shareholders. This is due to the spiralling building costs and also the loss of income from shipping
dues.
By 1706 the responsibility for providing lighthouses was given to the Master and Wardens of Trinity
House. They made an agreement with a man called Captain Lovet for a replacement for the first
Eddystone Lighthouse [Winstanley's], which had been destroyed in storms in November 1705.
A London silk merchant called John Rudyerd designed the new one and supervised its construction. It
was built within two years but burned down on
2nd December 1755.
John Smeaton was then engaged in 1756 to construct a new lighthouse.
He noticed that an oak tree could withstand high winds due to its shape and strength and designed
his lighthouse along similar lines. He also decided to prepare the stonework on shore, rather than on
the rock. Work started on the stones at a yard at Mill Bay on 13th December 1756. The work was
supervised by William Tyrrell. He was a former mason from Portland, Dorset, where the stones for
Westminster Bridge had also been worked.
The lighthouse was removed from the reef to Plymouth Hoe in 1877. The Plymouth and West Devon
Record Office also hold the Hoe Committee minutes which detail this. There are some interesting
facts contained within the papers in the collection.
Many of the men employed in the construction were Cornish tin miners.
Trinity House, the organisation that acts as the General Lighthouse Authority for England, Wales, the
Channel Islands and Gibraltar, arranged for each man to be issued with a medal. This confirmed they
were working on the new lighthouse and meant they could avoid the possibility of press ganging,
which was rife at the time.
The collection also contains a notice about fundraising methods for the rebuilding of the Eddystone
Lighthouse, at a cost of £10,000, and the mortgaging of parts of the lighthouse to secure the funds.
The collection has been fully catalogued and is available to view in our archives catalogue. Use the
search term ‘eddystone lighthouses’ and click on the results that start ‘3998’.
To look at the original documents you can make an appointment to visit the Plymouth and West
Devon Record Office.

Mount Batten Gun Tower
A survey toascertain the condition of the tower was carried out a few months ago
and the vegetation cleared to expose the WWII structures in the adjacent area.
The condition survey will decide on plans for the necessary repairs and its future use
including opening up to the public.
Planning Appeal Dismissed
The planning appeal by Wainhomes (South West) (APP/N1160/A/14/2219907)
against Plymouth City Council’s decision not to grant permission for the erection of
57 homes in Radford Quarry (13/02114/FUL) was dismissed by the Planning
Inspectorate Inspector
Gloria McFarlane in decision issued on the 9 June 2015.
Main issues considered in the appeal
were biodiversity, the character of the area, trees and traffic , taking into account the Council
could not currently demonstrate a five year housing land supply.
The appeal decision is critical of both the Council and Wainhomes in their failure to
implement a fully documented programme for the nature protection of the area and the
failure to carry out 106 obligations of previous planning applications.
Prove you live in Plymouth People using Plymouth’s household waste and
recycling centres will be asked to prove they live in the city before being allowed on
site.
From 1 July staff at Chelson Meadow and Weston Mill will be asking all those who
use the sites for a photo-ID driving licence with a Plymouth address before being
allowed to dispose their rubbish
The new procedure is being introduced as part of a package of changes to ensure the
service is as efficient as possible for the residents of Plymouth.
The Chelson Meadow and Weston Mill Household Waste and Recycling Centre cost
£1.35 million to run.
Night Time Road Closures
An 18-week resurfacing programme which started on 3 June 2015 will focus on areas

Grassland Protection for Bees
Grassed areas of open space at Burrow Hill and Dunstone in Plymstock will in future be cut
only three times a year to encourage bees and other pollinators and to help wildlife to thrive
in these areas.
The longer grass will provide a rich habitat not only for pollinators but other wildlife such as
hedgehogs.
All the large open land areas across the city were selected in this trial because they are not
used for sport. Paths within these areas will still be mowed for dog walkers.
Plymstock Library Films
The film, Secret Life of Walter Mitty, will be shown on Monday 20 June at
2.00pm. It is a Certificate PG film and runs for 109 minutes.
