Marsham Belles
We have had a very good year entertaining around church groups, homes and village halls etc., andat our recent annual general meeting decided to invite requests from the area for anyone who
would like to book us to come to them for 2014. Obviously Christmas carols sound lovely on the
bells, but we play much other music all the year round. We make no charge as such, just ask for a
donation towards travelling costs. If you would like to book please contact me on 01263 734091 or
by email [email protected]
Alternatively, if groups or individuals would like to come and "have a go" please use same contact
details and we will organise a workshop in our village hall.
Further details will appear later, but we are taking part in charity events during the summer. A
strawberry tea, with entertainment, to be held in Corpusty in aid of helping fund items for Nepaleseschool children, and a similar event in Marsham village hall, to help raise funds for a Defibrillator to
be installed at the village hall. This will also mark the 30 year anniversary of the Marsham Belles.

Proposed Housing, Fengate Farm
The applicants for the proposed development (details shown in
December issue of Marsham News) had already been notified in
writing by the Parish Council, when they first raised the matter, that
they would not support any such proposal.
The Fengate site is clearly outside the Village Development Area and
would thus contravene the Broadland District Council’s Structure
Plan which determines the provision of housing sites throughout
Broadland.
Marsham residents had already made their opinions clear when they
voted overwhelmingly against any changes to the villagedevelopment boundary, and against any development outside the
existing village development boundary. This ‘vote’ was made as part
of the Public Consultation Procedure carried out by Broadland
District Council Planning Department for preferred options for future
housing location in Broadland (a process ongoing since Sept. 2011).
None the less the applicants, whilst knowing they were in
contravention of BDC planning policy still insisted on submitting a full
planning application.
Fengate Farm is, and always has been AGRICULTURAL LAND. It is
NOT what is sometimes referred to as a ‘BROWNFIELD’ site.
At a special Parish Council meeting on December 2nd
2013 at the
village hall the council voted unanimously to reject the application
for housing. The Parish clerk had direct confirmation from BDC
planning department that the application contravened planning
policy. BDC planners intend to recommend refusal and will not
consider any development boundary changes.
Please note that BDC planners confirm that they have already met
the Government targets for providing future housing locations
throughout Broadland as a whole. Marsham has not been selectedfor any large scale development OUTSIDE the existing village
development area. Small scale development groups of from 1 to 5
houses INSIDE the Area will still be considered on individual merit.
There are of course sites for a total of 40 new houses in Marsham
which already have planning approval but as yet are unbuilt upon.
June and Greg Jarvis
Letters to the Editor
The letters printed in this section are published unedited and do not necessarily reflect the views
of the editing committee. We see the Village Newspaper as a channel for people in the village to air
their views – positive or negative.
Further to the above letter, we have been informed that thehousing development application has been refused by the
Broadland District Council planning department.
Marsham Community Public
Access Defibrillator Project
Would you be interested in
helping with a project to raise
money for a public access
defibrillator in Marsham?
Research shows that access to a
defibrillator within five minutes
of a cardiac arrest makes a huge
difference to chances of survival.
A defibrillator and cabinet cost
about £2000 then there would be
additional installation and
running costs so the aim is to
raise £2500 initially, through
donations or fundraising events.
We hope the defibrillator will be
located at the village hall as this is
an easy landmark to find in an
emergency. Once the equipment
has been installed we will hold
information sessions which will
be open to all villagers.
If you can help or would like more
information please contact Nicola
Hibberd on 01263 733557 or
Thank you
The Village Hall Management
Committee and the Marsham
News editorial team are
wholeheartedly backing Nicola
with this project. Given the
number of accidents that wecontinue to have on the A140, it
could be a life saver.

Marsham WI
Our last meeting at the Village Hall was our AGM in November when we heard reports from our Secretary,
Treasurer and President and reflected on our activities during 2013. We also had an entertaining report about
the 2013 Darts League which had been an enjoyable competition despite problems with transport and shortage
of players. We hope that we will be able to participate this year again. The formal part of the evening was
followed by everyone making a Christmas decoration under the supervision of one of our members. I proudly
took mine home to hang on my Christmas tree. In December we had our Christmas Dinner meeting once
again at the Marsham Arms which was enjoyed by all who attended.
We already have a few diary dates for 2014: the National AGM will be held in Leeds in June this year and
our Norfolk Federation AGM will be held in St Andrews Hall in March. We hope to enter the Cator Cup
competition again, the theme this year is “Gardens”and we hope to come up with some suitable craft items
for it by the end of March. We also have to give some thought to an entry for the WI competitions at The
Royal Norfolk Show in June, the theme is “On The Home Front” in keeping with the commemorations for
the centenary of the start of The Great War in 1914. So, a busy year ahead as we also give thoughts to
preparations for the national celebrations of WI’s centenary next year.
Our February meeting is on Wednesday 26th when we will be having a demonstration of beading, so if you
are a woman interested in joining Marsham WI please come along, new members will be very welcome.
Meetings are usually held on the 4th
Wednesday of the month in the Village Hall at 7.30pm. There is a WI board on the wall at the right of the Village Hall kitchen where you can see details of our programme for 2014.

IS THIS YOUR CAT?
We have a friendly black cat
who visits us every day and
we wonder where it lives? It
is black with a small white
patch on chest. It was
wearing a blue collar when it
first visited, then a luminous
yellow one, now no collar at
all. It can be quite a vocal cat.
It's obviously well looked
after because it has a
beautiful coat. Maybe it likesto come and see our four
cats.
We would love to hear from
you, as if ever you feel it's
missing it could be here.

A kit bag at Beulah
Rev. Gregg-MacGregor’s WW1 kit bag (1916) Rev. and Mrs. Gregg-MacGregor in Australia (1921)
We’re trying to build a fuller picture of former Marsham resident Reverend J. V. F. Gregg-MacGregor
DCM.
Rev. Gregg-MacGregor led a remarkable life, comparable with the famous First World War Army
Chaplain Studdart-Kennedy (‘Woodbine Willie’). Rev. Gregg-MacGregor served as a stretcher bearer
and later as a Chaplain in The First World War. He became a priest in Australia and returned to
England in 1930. He and his wife came to Marsham from Kenninghall in 1950, where they lived atThe Old Plough (at the time known as Beulah.) Rev’d Gregg-MacGregor died in 1955 and is buried
in Marsham church yard.
Rev. Gregg-MacGregor's grave in Marsham churchyard Although it is over fifty years ago, perhaps there is someone in the village who will
remember him.

News from the School
A belated Happy New Year to everyone!
We are well into the new term now and the children are continuing to work hard. Class 1 have been
having road safety lessons. You may have seen them out and about.
A number of children in years 4, 5 and 6 are very excited about a football tournament that they are about
to take part in. The excitement can’t possibly be to do with it being staged at Carrow Road, can it…?
Our annual whole school Key Stage 2 residential weekend will be upon us soon. Children in years 3, 4, 5
and 6 get the opportunity to take part in activities such as abseiling, high ropes, zip wire, climbing wall
and the annual activity of not going to sleep and getting up at the crack of dawn, a personal favourite of
the teachers! It’s a good job that the weekend is immediately followed by half term!
Finally, we would like to say a warm “Hello and welcome!” to two new members of staff. Mr Walker is
currently working with Class 2 in the afternoons and Ms Allen is a teaching assistant who is working with
years 5 and 6 in the mornings.
(PS. Thank you very much to all the Marsham residents who came and supported our Christmas
Fayre in the Village Hall and Christmas Carol Service in the church. Your support is always much
appreciated.)
