EDITORIAL

The deadline for this issue was 10 June and writing this

then, the month fell rather short of 'flaming June'.However by the time Willing/mm News is posted throughyour letterboxes, June might have lived up to its name. But

what of July? Whatever the weather might have in store for

us, there is plenty entertainment ahead. The Olympics may

not begin till 27 July but the build—up began many moons

ago and until it actually starts sports fans will be able to

enjoy Euro 2012 and of course Wimbledon And for those

with other interests?

Fortunately, there are alternatives on offer. The 118th

Season of Henry Wood Promenade concerts begins on

13 July as does the Cambridge Summer Festival which

offers Open Studios, the Folk Festival, the Summer Music

Festival as well as the Shakespeare Festival.

Many will also be going on holiday or packing in

preparation. Whatever you're planning to do, enjoy!

Church bells - The OlympicsChurch Bells all over the country will ring on Friday,27July to celebrate the start of the Olympics. The bells of

St Mary & All Saints, Willingham will ring from 8 00 —

8 30 am.

function area which can be hired out at very reasonable

rates. This can be used for a wide range of activities, either

as a one-off or on a regular basis.

The committee has decided to give an invitation to all

Villagers to come and see for themselves what the Club has

to offer.

PLEASE COME ALONG ON 22 JULY — from 2 pmonwards. You will be very welcome and may even be

OLD WILLINGHAMWith all the celebrations

for the (Lueen's Diamond

Jubilee at the start of JuneI was reminded of a

tradition in past years.

During the Golden Jubileein 2002 all the Villagechildren were given a

'Jubilee mug'. In this

month's picture we see the

children receiving a souvenir mug (and a spoon) for the

Ogeen's Coronation in 1953. I wonder if anyone in the

Village still has their mug. The lady giving out the gifts is

Annie Gadsby who very likely would have remembered

Q1661] Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897!

realise why.The work began in 1960 in the driest county in England

on windswept wasteland consisting of arid, clay, gravel and

poor soils with both sun and shade set between two farms.

The gardens are set in two acres. There are goodrefreshment facilities and an excellent plant nursery.

Pastoral Letter

The Jubilee may well have faded in your memory but as I

write it is fresh in my mind. I am a great fan of Cromwell

but Iam neither a Republican nor a Royalist. I thoroughlyenjoyed watching the

II

Jubilee celebrations and

particularly the Thames Pageant. This was largely due to

my cockney roots. Seeing London, especially St Paul's

Cathedral was very moving. I was ordained deacon (Greekfor 'servant') there on 27 June I 998. The great doors at the

front of the cathedral, being so tall and heavy, are only ever

opened for two groups of people: royalty and those beingordained. What a tremendous privilege that felt, especiallyas great shafts of sunlight flooded in and bathed our walkdown the central aisle.

During the service, the Bishop of London, with a great

booming voice, lifted his hands to ordain us — dramaticallyaccompanied by flashes of lightning and claps of thunder.

Sunshine, showers and rain bows came later as we gatheredfor photos on the steps outside. Later, robes in suitcase, I leftto find the coach containing my family and friends. Theheavens opened, and a large hand grabbed my suitcase.

'Let me carry that' boomed a familiar voice. Seeing thevoice's owner wasn't wearing a coat Iprotested. "No, allow

me' he boomed, informing me that, despite now being the

Bishop of London, he too had once been ordained a deacon,and, "Once a deacon, always a deacon'. I remember beingembarrassed because he was getting soaked, I remember

the faces in the coach, some laughing at my

embarrassment, and some staring with incredulity.Mostly, though, I remember his words, speaking ofhumility, duty and service,- characteristics exhibited byChrist that should be the hallmarkof every Christian.

I have tremendous respect for the duty and service theQueen has given for sixty years. Greater by far is my

devotion to the one who loved me enough to die for me. He

loves you that much too. If you want to experience thatlove for yourself, come along to one of the vi llage's churchservices. I cannot promise great doors opening or shafts ofsunlight lighting your way but rain is a possibility!

Holman Hunt's 'Light of the world' (in St Paul's) showsChrist knocking on the door ofour hearts. There's no handleon the outside,- He only enters if we open the door frominside. Great shafts of 'Son-light' always accompany the

opening of that door as He comes to reign within us.

Sign up for the Children's Summer Reading Challenge

towards

It's not too late to come to the Library and sign up for the

Summer Reading Challenge. This year's theme is StoryLab — 'an imaginative adventure that knows no bounds'.

The brainchild of Professor Cortex, Story Lab is an

amazing hi—tech 'Story HQ that attracts stories from all

over the world, sending them spinning throughout the city— and beyond! Professor Cortex has asked the Story Lab

kids: Will, Rani, Evie and Lex to recover three lost items

and bring them back to the Story Lab. Can the children find

the bronze coin, silver mirror and gold medal and boost the

imagination of the Story Lab?

If you are under 16 and would like to volunteer to help us

with the challenge, please come to the library and have a

chat about how you can join in the fun.

Willingham Combined CharityNot many people will be aware of Willingham Combined

Charity which has been in existence since 1505 and was

initially called a Pauper Charity. It now consists of several

Charities. The first was set up in 1505 by Henry Greaves

to help defray taxes levied on the poorest inhabitants. The

house he left was called the Town House and was situated

in Church Street where the almshouses now stand. Nine

cottages were later built for letting to poor women. In 1965

Henry Greaves' land was sold and the cottages demolished

in 1962 and 1972. The almshouses were still in use in 1982.

However, they were later sold and are now in private hands.

The land at the rear of the properties is in use as allotments.

In 1615 the second charity was formed by the Rector Dr

William Smith, Provost of King's College, Cambridge who

gave 8 acres at Westmeadow from which the income was to

maintain the almshouses and the nine cottages.In 1693 Robert Osborne gave a rent charge of 3 /4d

(approx just under 15 %p) for the poor. Not much is known

about this charity which was lost by 1938.

The fourth charity was set up by Samuel Saywell, in

1709. He left half of the rent of Queenholme Droveway to

the poor of Willingham. In 1876 the income was £5.

After the amalgamation of the charities into WillinghamParochial Charities in 1876, (lucenholme Droveway and

the Reverend Smith's land were sold and his cottages and

the Town House were demolished.

In 1952, Hilda Smith left 11 acres, stock and money and

land at Houghton to build the Josiah Smith Homes in

memory of her father. These six bungalows on Over Road

were built in 1967. The Josiah Smith Homes and

Willingham Parochial Charities remained separate but from

1964 have been administered by the same trustees.

In 1874 the list of trustees was as follows — the names are

still familiar in the village today:Ingle Few Thoday (merchant), Josiah Smith (farmer),

Edward Few (merchant), Robert Sage Ellis (surgeon),Barford Pyke (farmer), James Ingle (merchant), Robert

Osborn (farmer), John Frohock (farmer), Edward Gleaves

(farmer).Today the Charity still survives and is overseen by

trustees from the village. In the future it is hoped that the

Emergency appointments We allocate short appointmentslots at the end of surgery for medical problems which

cannot wait until the next available routine appointment.They are not booked with a specific doctor and there may

be a long wait to be seen. The emergency session is

becoming increasingly busy with non-urgent requests

causing delays not only in the surgery but for those patientsrequiring a visit. Please can we ask you to use emergency

appointments correctly? If your problem is a routine

matter which requires more time, the doctor will ask

you to make another appointment in a routine surgery.

On-line appointments Don't forget we now offer an on—

line booking facility for both doctor and nurse

appointments. Please contact reception if you would like

to register for this service.

Preventing Falls — Staying Steady A fall can result in not

only bruising or fractures but can reduce confidence and

independence. There are lots of ways you can help to

prevent falling and injury and to 'boost your bones'.' Strength and balance exercises are particularly useful.° Eating a balanced diet with foods rich in calcium helps to

maintain healthy bones.' Vitamin D helps to absorb calcium so try to get 10

minutes of sunshine once or twice per day (if weather

permits!) or ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice

about supplements.° Ask your pharmacist for a Medicines Use Review as some

combinations of medicines may cause dizziness and falls.' Tell your doctor if you are having dizzy spells or feel

unsteady.' Wear well—fitting footwear with non—slip soles.° Look for tripping hazards in your own home and garden.° Keep your home well—lit and free of clutter.' Have your eyes tested every 2 years

eye tests are free

over the age of 60.

° Keep warm as cold muscles do not work as well.' Take time getting up and steady yourself before walking.

There are lots more useful tips on avoiding falls in the AgeUK booklet 'Staying . Steady'. Ask for a copy in our

Pharmacy or at Reception.

What to do if you fall° Try to stay calm and not panic.' Attract attention if you can. Use a community alarm or

a phone if you can reach one.

° Check carefully that you are not hurt before trying to

move.

Jubilee celebrations

Despite the rather wet weather, about 150 gathered at the

Baptist Church on Sunday, 3 June for a communitycelebration. We started the BigJubilee Lunch with a gracewritten specially for the occasion, and then tucked into a

BBQ Before watching the Thames Pageant, we sang God

Save The Queen and cut a special 'crown jewels' cake.

Afternoon tea was then served, with mountains of cakes!!!

Children enjoyed doing lots of crafts and painting one

another's faces red, white and blue!

Thank you to everyone who came along and watch out for

a slightly different event to celebrate the start of the

Olympics. . ..

Jubilee celebrations at

Willingham Primary School

The children enjoyed a day of celebrations includingmaking crowns, watching the Coronation footage from

1953, parading 'royal barges' that they had made and

playing traditional games. The school day was extended to

have a royal disco where Princes Charles and Harry were

seen, and indoor fireworks were let off. During the week

children and staff made a large wall hanging to remember

the occasion; it is over 8 metres long! Parents and friends

didn't miss out on the festivities, as the Willingham School

Association provided cream teas and a quiz about the

(been which raised over £250 for the school.

FULL CIRCLE

In the words of William Shakespeare, 'All's well that ends

well' and for myself and my daughter, Mrs Lisa McGinness

this could not be more apt. I'm referring to our recent

journey to Willingham. Through the kind courtesy of

Richard and Pat Law of Willingham, the two of us were

invited to stay in their home, Belvoir House, for two daysand we had ample opportunity to wander round this lovelylittle village. What was our quest you may ask? I journeyedfrom Trinidad and Tobago in the sunny Caribbean and Lisa

from Glasgow. Lisa had interfaced with Pat seeking to

expand our Family Tree and find its roots and it was here in

Willingham that we discovered the roots were deeplyembedded.

Although strangers, we and the Laws shared a common

bond — for we are all 'related' in our attachment to Belvoir

House, 21 Green Street. For Lisa and myself, this was the

home of our maternal ancestors; for Pat and Richard, this

was the home which his father had bought.Belvoir House was built by John Smith Junior in 1820 on

land that had been in the Smith family's possession since the

17005 and still bears the name Smith. His son, GrangerSmith and wife Jemima, subsequently inherited the house

and lived there with their children. Jemima was originally a

Read, also of Willingham.One of their daughters, Lavinia Smith, married Herbert

Bartholomew Lock Bennett of Kensington, London and

they had an only daughter, Hilda. One of their law student

lodgers was George Ramdeholl, who came from what was

then British Guiana. He and Hilda married and settled in

British Guiana. On the death of her husband,Lavinia journeyed out to live with her daughter and

family and died in Trinidad in 1945. I was her

grand—daughter.My mother was a great storyteller and as a child, I

heard stories of her mother's life in England and of

her relatives, among them the Granger Smith family.This thirst for knowledge of my heritage broughtme and my daughter Lisa to Willingham.

Pat Law was tireless in her efforts to make our tripworthwhile. We visited several grave sites in and around

Willingham over a two—day period. How moving it was to

see the family plot of great—grandfather Granger Smith

which accommodated the remains of several other family

members including his mother—in-law, Elizabeth Read. A

search among the grave sites rewarded us with that of

great—uncle Sidney Smith, the last Smith occupant of

Belvoir House; and an unexpected find at the very end of

our quest....that of great, great, great—grandfather JohnSmith Senior and great, great—grandfather, John Smith

Junior and their respective wives.

We also got a chance to meet with two elders of the

village, Mrs Janet Hart and Mr Paul Ingle who kindlyrecounted their experiences of old Willingham. At the end

of a most enjoyable evening, Lisa was presented with a deed

of a loan by Janet Smith, signed by great grandfather,Granger Smith, on 30 September 1879 hearing its originalstamps and seals. It had inadvertently been in Janet Hart's

possession for a number of years.Not to go unmentioned was the visit to great—

grandmother, Jemima Read Smith's ancestral home in

Rampton End which was made possible by Graham Mumby.He pointed out design aspects of the house and showed us

round the beautiful garden which he proudly tends.

All in all, it was a memorable experience enabling us to

come full circle with this chapter of our heritage, to see

something of this beautiful part of the country and to form

new bonds. Lisa and I left with a great deal of indebtedness

and gratitude to Richard and Pat Law for this fantastic

experience — one which many yearn for and so few are ever

able to achieve.

June Farinha, Trinidad & Tobago

I attach two photographs. The first shows the Smith familytaken in approximately 1890 and the second is of Lisa and

me in May 2012. We are sitting in exactly the same spot as

our Smith ancestors — by the garden door and are holdingthe original photograph.

It was a pleasure to see a well—attended Annual Parish Meetingwith over fifty people present, and representatives from clubs

and groups, local councillors and police. Your Parish Council

has been working very hard in trying to involve more residents

in local issues. So thank you to all those who came along and

for those who didn't here is a flavour of some of the issues that

were raised in a lively meeting.Sergeant Paul Rogerson reported on the recent re—

structuring of the police force in South Cambridgeshireaimed at providing a more consistent and better service, and

on new initiatives on communications. He emphasised the

vital role the public play in helping to fight crime and

welcomed the recent initiatives to reintroduce neighbourhoodwatch schemes in Willingham, with special thanks to Mike

Tidball for agreeing to act as co—ordinator. Sergeant Rogersonalso reported positive progress in a number of areas, with

response times within five to ten minutes, an increase in stopsearches and fewer house burglaries.

Our County and District Councillors said that they had

recently attended a meeting about the BIOSO. They reportedthat at last it seemed that the different departments were

working together. It was music to the ears of the Parish

Councillors who have been pushing for this kind of holistic

approach for years. There is no plan in place as yet for a bypassbut that is the long-term objective and one that they will keeppressing for. A parishioner asked about the reduced bus

services and Andy Campbell of Stagecoach, who was in the

audience, replied that he had to work within commercial

constraints but that he was doing everything possible to

maintain services and that an hourly service into Cambridgewould still function, though via two routes. Ideally it would be

good to be able to do more but to keep any bus service Viable,people needed to use it and at the moment usage was low for

large parts of the day.Mike Tidball talked about Willingham Action Group

(WAG) and the progress made since it was established

following the Parish Plan; he urged anyone wishing to find out

more to visit the website. Special thanks were due to Graham

Mumby for all his work and in particular the formation of the

well—attended environment group. Thanks were also due to

the District Council for the Community Chest grant for

furniture on the Jubilee field. A community orchard was

planned on the old recreation ground on Earith Road and

funding was being sought.Richard Foster, lead Parish Councillor for the Halls,

reported that both the Public and Ploughman halls were in

regular use, every weekday evening and some weekends.

Though in the short-term the Public Hall remained in

reasonable condition, more thought would need to be given to

'halls strategy' in the longer term. The Ploughman Hall is

being repainted externally this year, a youth conversion is due

to take place within the existing framework of the buildingand a new car-park surface laid and extended with enhanced

planting around it.

Peter Hinds described the recently formed Over,Willingham, Longstanton and Swavesey Community Car

Scheme (OWLS), and thanked the Parish Council for their

initial contribution to costs. The Scheme has started well.

There are three volunteer drivers from Willingham and quite

a few users. More drivers are needed so if you have a car and

a few hours to spare, please tell us. Volunteer drivers receive

payment towards basic running costs as well as the hugegratitude of the people they are able to help.

Trevor Rowe, chairman of the Willingham Youth Trust

(WYT), described the facilities currently on offer and the need

for a permanent youth facility. Though there was generalagreement that more youth facilities were needed in

Willingham, actual commitment was very disappointing: 116

people had been invited to a recent meeting of the Youth

Trust and only 6 turned up. A website for WYT is under

construction and he urged parishioners to get involved in

helping in any way they could. The Trust is particularlyanxious to recruit more trustees and find more sources of

local funding.Finally the Cambridge and Peterborough Association of

Local Councils presented Willingham Parish Council with a

certificate of re-accreditation of Quality Council status. It is

an award not easily achieved and great credit is due to the

work of the Parish Clerk in securing this, which required an

external audit on the level and quality of the services to check

that they meet best practice. Perhaps the scheme should be

extended to national government!

JO'I'TINGS FROM YOUR COUNTY COUNCILLOR

Those of you who are regular bus users will know that the

Citi 5 service has been amended, with a new service from

June that no longer continues to St Ives. Another

consequence is that Fen Drayton no longer has a bus service

of any description and since the spring I have been workingwith my fellow County Councillor for Swavesey and Fen

Drayton and the local Parish Clerks to see what optionsmight be available to fill the gap. Before we can make any

decisions, we need to see what the need for the area is and

what services people want. Therefore, there is a

questionnaire for completion below. It asks what services

you currently use and what you would like to see. Please

take a few minutes to complete it, so that we can gain a goodunderstanding of the local need. If you would like an

electronic copy, please e—mail me and I will send it to you.Please return all copies to me at the address below.

I believe that we are starting to make slow progress with

the B1050. My concern has always been that the CountyCouncil has treated the issues of the bank, the number of

HGVs and the impact of Northstowe as three separate

issues, whereas treating them as a whole might lead to a

more cost—effective solution. Cllr Manning and I had a

meeting with senior officers in May, where we persuaded

them to look at it as one problem. Money needs to be spenton the bank; not just the monthly repairs which run to

around £30,000 per year, but a permanent fix, which runs

into millions of pounds. There will also be some moneyfrom the S 106 agreement for Northstowe, but the two sums

together would not be sufficient to fund a bypass. So officers

have agreed to go away and investigate how the gap mightbe filled — and who might pay for it. This may not seem like

a lot of progress, but it certainly feels as though there is

now a willingness to try to deal with the problem.Finally, I am delighted to say that the Over Day Centre

has been chosen as one of the nominated charities forjulyby Weitrore in Trumpington. I hope as many people as

possible will take the opportunity to do some shoppingthere duringjuly and put their to/eem in the Day Centre bank.
