EARL STERNDALE CHURCH – A Resurrection Story?

There are plenty of clergy in the Church of England who take the view that we have too many churches and so should close a few when we get the chance. I don’t take that line – for

three main reasons.

Firstly, for all its faults, frustrations and scandals, I believe in Christ’s Church as not merely a human institution but a divine one as well. “My Church”, said Jesus “and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it”. The Church is one of the things God is doing in the world.

Secondly, I have a keen sense of history and of the past. I am always conscious that many – perhaps most – of our villages have had a church at their heart for a thousand years or more. Every parish has its ups and downs and we must take the long view. Who knows what revival of faith may come in the next fifty years? I don’t want a church to be closed ‘on my watch’, if it can be avoided.

Thirdly, my own experience has shown me that churches can be revived if local people can be awoken to their imminent loss. I had six parishes in Lincolnshire and then took on three extras which were carved off the neighbouring group.

One of those had had no services for five years and was semi-derelict. I found that local people regretted its loss and we managed to revive and repair it – it became a success story.

Another church in the group had been dwindling slowly (like Earl Sterndale) over many years – eventually there were literally only two of us alive on the PCC! After a year’s closure to treat dry-rot, we managed to re-open with new Wardens, new folk involved and new people coming to church. It was pulled back from the

very brink of death! We did something similar, in a more limited way, with a third church there.

At Earl Sterndale, things having ground to a halt, we held no services for the Winter months. In June, I went door-knocking with leaflets and in July we had a public meeting and came away with people prepared to be Wardens and others to help. So far so good!

We are having a relaunch of Earl Sterndale Church with a HARVEST FESTIVAL SERVICE at 3.00 pm on SUNDAY 21st OCTOBER 2018.

Whether you live in the parish or outside it, please put the date in your diary now and COME AND JOIN US. Let’s give thanks for the good gifts we’ve received in the past and the present and let’s put our faith in God for the future!

Waterloo Inn - We have had a very busy and

successful summer here at The Waterloo Inn. We

were thrilled to be voted the CAMRA

(Chesterfield District) "Summer Pub of the

Season"! It's nice to gain recognition for what you

do but what was even more pleasing was to hear

the comments of the very many local people who

nominated and voted for us.

The Waterloo Inn Fun Day was a great success.

We raised around £750 for the 2 main charities

we supported, Buxton Mountain Rescue and

SARDA (Search & Rescue Dogs) England. The

weather was kind to us and it was excellent that

the many village groups and organisations came

along to support the day by having stalls, raising

even more for their own causes. Well over £1000

was raised in total on the day. We would like to

say a big thank you to Andy for bringing Trainee

Search Dog Geoffrey along on the day and also a

few days later to collect the cheques for the main

charities. Next year's Fun Day is provisionally

booked for Saturday 10th August 2019.

We have been well entertained over the summer

with live acts on most Saturday nights. Biggin's

favourite crooner "Karaoke Dave" Griffiths also

provided great fun on one evening and we have

even had spontaneous performances by folk

singers who have stayed on our campsite! As

always, a big thank you to everyone who has come

along to support these events. Still to come this

Biggin WI- August -Our visit to the World of

Wedgewood included a tour of the factory seeing,

followed by lunch served on beautiful china and

then we looked around the museum covering an

amazing collection from the 18th century to the

present-day. We all found something to admire

and one or two of us found a bargain in the factory

shop. September - This month saw a return of a

favourite speaker to our WI- he talked about the

great fire of London in 1666 from a forensic point

of view using old records from the time. How it

began and how people reacted to the fire some

running away while others tried to put out the

fire. The Christmas card competition was won by

Penny who had drawn a lovely festive sheep.

Biggin C of E Primary School - The Autumn

term is already three weeks old and the children

have settled really quickly after the long summer

break back into their learning. We warmly

welcome Miss Sneddon who has relocated from

Scotland to join us in Key Stage 2. She has made

a fantastic start. Children have already completed

a wonderful topic on Roald Dahl culminating in

the whole school enjoying ‘Dahlicious Dressing-

Up Day’ with science, film-making and cooking

activities and a party to finish the day’s

celebrations.

This week our fabulous Year 6 children joined lots

of pupils from other school to enjoy outdoor

adventures at White Hall, despite the weather!

We have enjoyed hearing about the exciting time

they had and we’re especially proud of their

behaviour and the way they all rose to the

challenge.

On a personal note I would like to say a massive

‘Thank You’ for the support of Mrs Gosney and

the whole of the staff team and the governors for

helping me as I join Biggin School. Everyone has

made me feel so welcome. Teresa Nicholls

After the lovely weather of the summer, we

were not blessed with good weather for the Flower

Festival, which didn’t help with the number of

visitors, as these were down on previous years. A

balance sheet will be available soon. There are so

many “thank you’s” to all who helped with the

flower festival, the flower arrangers, the bakers, the

helpers in Church; to Mr Bagshaw for putting the

roadside boards out and collecting them in again

and everyone who helped in any way. Thank You

…The poster competition, which the school

children take part in, was won this year by, Adele

Sweetmore, who received a voucher. Thank you to

the school who again, did the printing of the

posters and the handout sheets in Church. The

posters went far and wide, advertising this event.

The raffle prize winners were-1. Hamper, Barbara

Hodgkinson. 2. White wine, Carol Gratton 26922.

3. Sparkling Wine, Kate. 4. Tapestry Cushion, Mary

Wheeldon. 5. Biscuits, Beryl Hodgkinson. 6. Rum,

Mrs Marchington. 7. Whiskey, Margaret Lampard.

8. Candles, Brenda Wheeldon. 9. Garden Set,

Simon Perkins. 10. Bottle Pimms, Richard

Bagshaw.

We say a big thank you to the Riley family for their

generous donation, in memory of Dorothy. A

public meeting was held in the Church on

Wednesday 4th July and 2 new members came

forward to become Church Wardens. A re-opening

service has been arranged for 21st Oct. at 3.00 pm,

this will also be the Harvest Service. The school

children will have their Harvest Service on Friday

19th October and the sale of produce will be held on

Monday 22nd October at 7.30 pm in Church.

As a retiring Church Warden of many, many

years, I would like to say a big thank you to the

precious group of friends and colleagues, who have

helped me during these years. The Flower Festival,

of 30 years this year, takes a lot of ‘hands’ and a lot

of time and I am most grateful to those who have

helped to put on the brilliant displays and helped

me with the festival over these years. Also with the

many fundraising events, to keep our Church

going.

Over the years Jen Mellor and I have worked

tirelessly, applying for grants and raising money

for the improvements to the building, firstly the

installation of a central heating system, next saw

re-wiring and new lights and then the addition of

toilet facilities, making it better for events to take

place. Some of the pews were removed some years

ago and the font was to be re-sited, but this is a

project ‘ongoing’. I would like to say a big thank

you to Jen, who has had to take on extra, since I

have been out of commission.

I would also like to say a big thank you to my

family, who have helped me a lot, especially these

last few years, as my mobility has proven a

problem. We look forward to progress in the

future with the new Church Wardens and

Committee and wish them well. Mary Wheeldon

Earl Sterndale School - Towards the end of the

summer term, our school production of Charlie

and the Chocolate Factory was fabulous! The

children performed beautifully and we didn’t

forget too many lines!! Also, our Leavers’ Party /

End of Year Party was brilliant too. The rain didn’t

put us off and everyone had a great time. The ball

race was a super-soggy success!! The children have

made a super start back after the Summer holidays.

We welcomed our new Reception children and the

Y3 children made the big step up to the Junior

class, which is always quite daunting and a little bit

scary. Events this term include our Harvest

Festival which is coming soon in mid-October. The

children have begun the preparations already. We

also have our Climbing Wall Festival later this

week.

A FOND FAREWELL

After 32 very happy years at Hartington, and 42 years working in the NHS, I have made the decision

that it is now time for me to retire from General Practice.

It has been a privilege to have been welcomed into the lives of so many people and their families;

watching babies and children grow and sharing both happy, and sad, times together over the years.

These are truly special memories that I will treasure forever, so ‘thank you’ to so many of you for

giving me the opportunity to do so.

I plan to retire as a Partner in August and will be replaced by Dr Ashley Dawson who, most of you will

remember, worked at our surgery as a locum GP several years ago. He will be joining Dr Graham Hurst

as a Partner, and we are very much looking forward to welcoming him into our fantastic Health Care

Team at Hartington Surgery. I wish him, and his team, all the very best for a long and successful career

as he takes the Practice forward into the future.

I wish everyone good health, peace and happiness; I am sure that I will be seeing many of you out

there in the beautiful Peak District, hopefully for many more years to come.

Gillian Hurst
