From the Vicarage... Once there were three trees on a mountain top. They were discussing their hopes and dreams when the first tree said, “Some day I hope to be a treasure chest. I would be filled with gold, silver and precious gems, I could be decorated with intricate carvings and everyone would see my beauty.”
Then the second tree said, “Someday I will be a mighty ship. I will take Kings and Queens across the seas and sail to the corners of the earth. Everyone will feel safe in me because of the strength of my hull.”
Finally the third tree said, “I want to grow to be the tallest and straightest tree in the forest. People will see me on top of the hill and will look up to my branches, and think of the heavens and how close I am to reaching them. I will be the greatest tree of all time and people will always remember me.”
After a few years of praying that their dreams would come true, a group of woodcutters came upon the trees. When one of them came to the first tree he said, “This looks like a strong tree, I do think that I would be able to sell this tree to a carpenter.” And he began to cut the tree down. The tree was very happy because he knew that a carpenter could make him into a treasure chest for precious gems and metals.
At the second tree another woodcutter said. “This looks like a strong tree too, I should be able to sell this tree to a shipyard.” The second tree was even more happy than the first tree because he knew that he was on his way to becoming a mighty ship.
When the other woodcutter saw the third tree, the tree was frightened because he heard the woodcutter say, “I don’t have any special need for this tree, so I’ll just cut it down and see later if I will have any need of it.” The third tree thought that his dreams would not come true! But when the first tree arrived at the carpenters, he was made into a feed-box for animals. He was then placed in a barn and filled with hay. This was not what the first tree had dreamed of, or prayed for, and he was very disappointed. The second tree went to the shipyard and was made into a small fishing boat. His dreams of being a mighty ship, carrying Kings and Queens across the seas, was ended. The third tree was cut up into planks and was left alone in the darkness.
Many years went by and all the three trees forgot about their dreams and prayers. Then one day, a man and a women came to the barn to stay for a while. She gave birth to a baby boy whilst she was there, and she placed the baby boy in the hay in the feed-box. The man wished he could have made a proper crib for the baby but this feed-box would have to do. But somehow the first tree felt the importance of this event and somehow knew that he had indeed held the greatest treasure of all time.

Some years later a group of men got into a small fishing boat made from the timber of the second tree. One of them was tired and fell asleep. Whilst they were out on the water a great storm came up and the second tree did not think that he was strong enough to keep the men safe. The other men in the fishing boat then woke the man who was asleep and he said, “Peace!” and the storm suddenly stopped. Now the tree knew that he had indeed carried the King of Kings.
Finally, some three years later, someone came and got the third tree’s planks out of the dark shed. It was carried through the streets as the people mocked the man who was carrying it. When they came to a stop on a small hill the man was nailed to the tree and raised in the air to die there. On the Sunday the third tree suddenly came to realize that it was indeed strong enough to stand on the top of a hill for all to see and that he was closer to heaven than he could ever have imagined. That was better than being the tallest tree in the world.
C S LewisClive Staples Lewis (1898–1963) was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century and arguably one of the most influential writers of his day. He was a Fellow and Tutor in English Literature at Oxford University until 1954, when he was unanimously elected to the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance Literature at Cambridge University, a position he held until his retirement. He wrote more than thirty books, including the Narnia Books which have sold over 100 million copies and recently been transformed by Hollywood into film.
He was wounded at Arras in WW1 and a good friend of his was killed. This caused him to think deeply about the conflict between good and evil and this formed the basis of his Christian allegories in the Narnia series.
As we approach Easter and reflect on the battle between good and evil I was particularly taken by some of his quotes …
“One does not realise in early life that the price of freedom is loneliness. To be happy is to be tied.”
“If God thinks this state of war in the universe a price worth paying for free will then we may take it that it is worth paying.”
“If a thing is free to be good it is also free to be bad. And free will is what has made evil possible. Why, then, did God give them free will? Because free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having.”
Revd Mike Bisset
Women’s World Day of Prayer Fri 2nd March – 1.45pm at Holy Trinity Church, Hazlemere
This years’ service comes from Suriname and is one of the more challenging ones we have had presented to us. And, as happens so often with WWDP services, it is also very topical. Caring for God’s very good creation is hugely important and highly relevant to people of all ages and beliefs.
Do come and join us. Despite the title, men are very welcome to join us.
Shrove Tuesday Shrove Tuesday is the day before Lent starts on Ash Wednesday. The name Shrove comes from the old middle English word ‘Shriven’ meaning to go to confession to say sorry for the wrong things you’ve done. Lent always starts on a Wednesday, so people went to confessions on the day before. This became known as Shriven Tuesday and then Shrove Tuesday. But we know it as Pancake Day, which comes from the old English custom of using up all the fattening ingredients in the house so that people were ready to fast during Lent. The fattening ingredients that most people had in their houses in those days were eggs and milk. A very simple recipe to use up these ingredients was to combine them with some flour and make pancakes! This we do in large quantities and with a very wide variety of toppings and sauces to go with them. Come and join us at 6pm on 13th Feb in The Sanctuary.
Alan Yeates“Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands”. ( 2 Corinthians 5: 1)
St Margaret’s church was packed to overflowing for the funeral of Alan Yeates on Wednesday 24th January at 1.30pm. Alan took a post teaching in the modern languages department of RGS over 30 years ago, renting a room in Pightle Cottage at the top of Cock Lane. St Margaret’s at the time did not have an organist and Alan offered his services. He remained both at RGS, rising to be head of the Modern Languages Department, and at St Margaret’s. At the service we sang ‘Lord for the years’, ‘When I survey the wondrous cross’ and ‘Love Divine and read of Alan’s deep faith in Isaiah 40 and Revelation 7.9-17. The RGS Close Harmony Singers sang ‘Steel away, steel away to Jesus’. As well as Alans friends from the Churches, many teachers attended the service and RGS was closed for the afternoon in honour. Dereck Yeates (Alan’s brother), Philip Wayne (head teacher) and the Revd Mike Bisset spoke of Alan’s faithful and dedicated service both to God and to the children he taught. Alan will be sorely missed and remembered with love and gratitude by all at RGS and St Margaret’s. Our prayers are with Deborah, Jonathan and William.
Constance Elfrida Ingpen / de la Mare In front of St Margaret’s church, by the large war memorial beech tree, is a white gravestone ‘In Memory of Constance Elfrida Ingpen’. Not an instantly recognisable Tylers Green name. The inscription continues, ‘Devoted wife of Walter de la Mare, Loving mother of her four children, 20 Sept 1861 - 10 July 1943’.
How did Walter de la Mare’s wife come to be buried in St Margaret’s churchyard?
Constance Elfrida Ingpen and the 20 year old Walter de la Mare met at the Esperanza drama group in Wandsworth in 1893. Elfrida was their leading lady, the star of their productions, and Walter or ‘Jack’ (from his middle name John) was a junior clerk with the Anglo-American Oil company (later to become ESSO), and an aspiring author. In May 1894 Jack and Elfrida took leading roles in a play written by Jack, and although Elfrida was more than 10 years older than Jack they soon became an ‘item’. Elfrida, affectionately known as ‘Elfie’, had a hard childhood after both her parents died, she had been previously engaged, but her fiancée had died before they were married.
Walter and Elfie didn’t rush into marriage, mainly for financial reasons, and it wasn’t until the 4th August 1899 that they were married quietly at Battersea parish church. Walter continued working for Anglo-American until 1908 when his writing was producing enough income to support his wife and family of four small children.
They lived at various addresses in London and in 1925 moved to Hill House in Taplow which was to be their home until 1939. Hill House now has a blue plaque.
In September 1939 Elfrida suffered a pulmonary embolism, only days after war had been declared. Elfrida and Walter were invited by their eldest daughter Florence and her husband Rupert to stay with them at the Old Park, Hammersley Lane, for Elfrida to convalesce. Walter and Elfrida gave up Hill House, and moved their home to a flat in Twickenham where they thought Elfrida would be better able to manage as her health improved. Unfortunately she never fully recovered and also developed Parkinsons Disease. Elfrida and Walter
spent most of their time living with Florence and Rupert at the Old Park.
The 1939 register shows 20 people living at the Old Park. Florence and her husband Rupert Thompson, and their children, four domestic staff, Walter and Elfrida and three other aged Ingpen relations, plus a school teacher and three children with different surnames, presumably evacuees. The Indian princess, Catherine also had three evacuee children next door at Colehatch House, (now called Hilden Hall). Her sister Sophia’s biographer suggests that Sophia renamed it after her sister’s death in 1942, (Hilda was Catherine’s middle name), although another suggestion is that it was named after a place where they had lived in Germany.
Elfrida died on the 10th of July 1943, and was buried at St Margaret’s. A little known connection between Tylers Green and Walter de la Mare and his family. Walter died in 1959 and is buried in St Paul’s Cathedral where he was a choir boy.
Acknowledgements to the excellent biography of Walter de la Mare, by Theresa Whistler which has a few photographs taken at the Old Park, although the original house was completely rebuilt a few years ago in a very modern style.

Lectio Divina If you are one of the 1,000+ people who visited either St. Margaret’s or Holy Trinity churches during the Christmas period you may agree our churches in Penn and Tylers Green are beautiful. I agree, they are!! You may appreciate their history and their architecture. You may enjoy our occasional concerts or the music at our choral services. But if you don’t understand what is at the heart of it all, I’m afraid you’ve missed the point.
About 2,000 years ago God was born as a man, Jesus Christ. He shared our human life, and he taught people powerfully about justice, truth, forgiveness and love. He also taught that God made each one of us to be his sons and daughters, to live forever in love with him.
Jesus was put to death by the religious people of his day because he threatened their power. But three days later he appeared again alive, first to his friends and then to many others. He told them to take his message and his promise of eternal life and tell it out all over the world.
Christians try to follow the way of life Jesus taught, but we don’t do it alone because he is still with us. When we commit ourselves to him, he puts his own Spirit in us to help us live in his way. When we are baptised, we are washed from our sins and promised eternal life. When we gather together in church to share Holy Communion, he gives himself to us in the consecrated bread and wine, and sends us out into the world as his body to do his will.
These churches and everything in them exist only to proclaim these truths. If you want to find out more, please do come to one of our regular services or contact any of our ministry team. Better still, just come and discover the real point of these church buildings and, in the process, discover the real point of everything else.

It doesn’t seem possible that it’s 12 years or thereabouts since the van Stee family was living in the village and
became so much a part of church life at Holy Trinity, Penn. Recently Lynn and Ellie paid a brief visit to the UK. Ellie had been studying French in Paris for the autumn term and Lynn came to join her. After a few days here, they were travelling back to the States together. They came and joined Ruthie, Rhoda, Ellen and me for a very convivial lunch on the 29th December. It was impossible to fit in 12 years of each other’s news in the time available but we did our best!

New Bell Ringers NeededWould you like to take up a new hobby and skill? If so why not become a bell ringer at Holy Trinity Church Penn.
The church has six beautiful bells some of which have been rung for more than three centuries, and we need to keep them ringing in the future.
At present we only have six ringers. They are all very loyal and attend whenever they can but we could do with some new recruits. Alison Bayley the Tower Captain is a qualified ART teacher (Association of Ringing Teachers) and will fit in lessons to suit you. A few 45 minute sessions will soon see you handling a bell under supervision and then you can join in with the other members. Lessons are taken in small steps and at the learner’s pace. You don’t have to be musical or strong to ring bells.
Practice night is on Mondays at 7:45pm and we endeavour to ring every Sunday morning for the 11am service.
Please contact Alison if you are interested.
