As the seesaw of the seasons tips us into autumn, the sight of the trees changing their gowns on the Hill calls for one’s pallet and easel. I always find it to be the most beautiful of the seasons because of its richness of colours. Could the wonder of nature really relate to Stephen Hawking’s M-theory and nothing else?

As usual we’ve had weather to talk about – whether or not we had a summer this year?

Well I’d like to feature two people that, in very differ-ent ways, have been working over the ‘summer’ to make Harrow a nicer place to live.

Irene Wears is an active member of the Campaign for a Better Harrow Environment (CBHE). As mentioned in the last Newsletter, we supported the CBHE in opposing the tower blocks proposed by Dandara in the planning inquiry. It was Irene who, without relevant experience or expertise, put together the evidence and presented it to the inquiry. She established CBHE’s presence with the inspector and held her own alongside Dandara’s barristers. It’s potentially an intimidating experience, but she clearly did us all proud because the appeal by Dandara was refused. Now Irene is gathering informa-tion to support the case for Lowlands Road recreation ground becoming a Village Green. This would give it strong protection against future development proposals. The reason this open space exists is because in 1912, a local group called the Lowlands Preservation Commit-tee, raised £1800 of the £3000 it took to purchase the land. In recording the decision to purchase it, the then

Urban District Council declared it was ‘with a view to the enjoyment thereof by the public as an open space. Irene is keen to hear from anyone who has ANY informa-tion about this group, in particular concerning how the money was raised. If you can help, please email her via [email protected]

My other local hero this summer is Jonathan Edwards, who has so brilliantly kept up a traditional Trust activity established over many years by Don Walter. He led three walks this summer, come rain or shine. The last was on Quirky Corners of the Hill, and unlike the rolling stone, it gathered in more people as it went, resulting in over 40 people enjoying a sunny afternoon learning something new about the Hill.

Finally, a thank you to Harrow Council for continuing to manage Churchfields as a meadow. This summer, the verges were kept neater than ever, but the upper areas were left to allow the wildflowers to thrive. And thrive they did – probably the most prolific spread since the Trust planted them in 2001.

I concluded we did have a summer – and it was a good one!

Ted AllettActing Chairman

Victoria PeetMembership Secretary

Firstly I’d like to extend a warm welcome to all our new members, I hope you enjoy being part of the Trust and I look forward to meeting you at our upcoming events.

As many of you know, at the last AGM it was decided to increase the cost of household membership fees to £8, and £5 concession, in order to help the Trust maintain its work on the Hill. The new fee has officially been put in place as of 1st September 2010, and as such we will be contacting anyone who is still paying the old rate. We

know all our members are incredibly generous in the support you give, but we would be grateful if you could amend your standing order, or make a note of the new fee when you next send a cheque.

If you are unsure about the amount you pay, or have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to get in touch by email on [email protected] or drop a note through my door at 10 Crown Street.

A word from our new Membership Secretary

Over the last six months we have been focusing on the communication of events through the messaging facility available on the website and ensuring that everyone who has shared their email address with us is kept informed about events, this we hope is a benefit to all of our members and will also ensure that we have more attend-ees to the events that our very kind volunteers organise and run.

If you would like to be added to our “Events email list” please send an email to us at [email protected], with the subject/title of Events List.

Over the next six months we will spend time updating the website and adding more content, including useful links. I have been very gratified during my research of

local events/news/activities to find so many links to our website from so many different websites, that it is now time to repay the compliment to these organisations. Hopefully this will also make the website more useful to you.

Please do send in any other suggestions that you may have for inclusion on the website and we will try to include all of those that will be of benefit to our members.

As a continuation of the statistics I shared with you in the last Newsletter - over the last six months, the website has been visited on average 130 times in a month, and on an average visit three pages of information were looked at.

3www.harrowhilltrust.org.uk

This summer has been eventful. In June an application was made to redevelop 43-55 West Street, the site of the Harwood Press. Those living on West Street will know that the buildings have become rather dilapidated, so much so that the Council served four enforcement orders last September requiring the sites to be cleaned up.

The application was for new homes and studios on the land to the rear of the buildings on West Street, the former back gardens of the houses. The buildings on West Street would be refurbished or rebuilt to create a car museum and a printworks museum. To understand what prompted the application some background information is necessary.

Mr Reginald Harwood, the former owner of the Press died in 1999 leaving a will which stipulated a “Harwood Motor and Print Museum” should be set up. This was intended to house his collection. The details of the story can be found in The Times for November 10th 2005, which I am summarising here. (I should record that this was found for me by Hazel Ogilvie of the Local History collection at the Civic Centre Library, and therefore I am indebted to her. ) Those wishing to check things for themselves can access it by typing in “Reginald Harwood Harrow” on their search engine. This should throw up stories in The Times, The Evening Standard, and the Harrow Observer. The provisions of the will were tested in court, and were

upheld. The judge, however, said that “experts described the collection as amounting to little more than tat and that there was no hope of creating a museum quality collec-tion out of them.” The value of the fourteen cars was put, by The Times at £39,000, (i.e. less than £3,000 each) and of other collectibles at £27,000. In short, the application to house a collection of old cars, and to display them on West Street, followed from the will.

The Trust wrote opposing the application because much of the development was on the garden space with a consequent loss of trees. We also pointed out that if it was expected that any substantial number of people would visit the museum then halfway up West Street seemed to be the last place it should be. A month later the application was withdrawn and we shall wait to see what happens.

In August, however, we could console ourselves with another result. The Inspector refused the appeal by Dandara against refusal of their application for a very tall building in central Harrow. The Inspector stated that he was not against tall buildings as such, but that a building of such prominence would have to be very good architectur-ally, and that he did not think Dandara’s proposal was good enough. This result means that Dandara will either have to find an architect who can be expected to come up with something good enough, or settle for a smaller building. Once again we shall have to wait to see what happens.

Planning Matters Update

Judith Mills

Alan EvansChair of the

Planning Committee

The Gantry Project is progressing after a reflective and busy summer. We met with a fundraising expert who gave us some sound advice on improving our proposal. We strengthened our rationale for the replacement of the Gantry, and uncovered even more historical nuggets about the Kings Head. We have now given our proposal to Ian Wilson of Harrow Council, who is talking to the Heritage Lottery fund about projects in Harrow in October. Keep your fingers crossed we will get the funding we are seeking. The Trust is fully committed to the project, and has pledged an initial £3,000 to the project.

To keep your interest here are a few things we have discovered. The Kings Head was the home for Harrow’s Masonic meetings. To quote ‘In 1881 the Lodge decided to move to “more convenient premises in order to promote the welfare of the Lodge and at the same time obtain better accommodation for the Brethren”; a Committee was appointed, and their recommendation to move to the King’s Head Hotel, Harrow, was approved by the Lodge and the Province. The Lodge met at the King’s Head until 1936, apart from the period between 1915 (when the hotel was requisitioned for war purposes) and 1922. The history of Harrow Lodge records that the change of meeting place to the Rest Hotel, Kenton, in 1936 seems to have been due to “a number of small incidents at the King’s Head ending with a dispute over the use of the car park.” Nothing changes on the Hill! The Masonic records describe the requisition of the Kings Head by the Military in the first World War, of which we hope to find out more.

Rita Boswell, the Archivist of Harrow School shared some very interesting photographs which show how rural Harrow on the Hill was. The Green in the 1860s shows

hay carts and coaches that went from the Hill to London twice a day. Then there is a perhaps controversial photo-graph of a hunt on the Hill!

The core team has now been joined by Giles Quinan, a keen local historian, who is going to help with more research on The Green and the Kings Head. We still need more help and if anyone would like to lend a hand particu-larly on raising money from local businesses and people, please contact me on [email protected] or 020 8426 5358. We meet either in The Castle or Blues. The get togethers are fun, serious and productive. We look forward to sharing our progress at the AGM.

A Review of the Summer’s Events

Our local historian Jonathan Edwards started his series of walks for 2010 on 9th May with Places of Worship. Although St. Mary’s Church is ‘the most visible’ church on the Hill, this walk showed the 15 walkers many diverse places of worship - Christ Church, Roxeth; a Welsh Congregational Church; a former Mission House and a former Baptist Church.

On Sunday 16th May despite the impending showers, the gardeners and neighbours of Waldron Road opened their terrace to the Trust to allow us to hold our Plant Sale. A big thank you to them for allowing us to host this event for the second year.

Thanks also to all those who donated plants (both private individuals and companies), particularly to the Plantation who donated the splendid raffle prize and to the Harrow Garden Centre (Wyevale) who also donated plants. We could not have managed without the help of an army of volunteers on the day and special thanks to Stuart Potter for volunteering to be our photographer. Just in case you were wondering, Douglas Dodd won the raffle prize and he then kindly placed the giant pot and plant on the lawn at the back of the Waldron Road terrace.

This year the event raised over £250 for the Tanglewood Club, a local social club for adults with a learning disability. It was formed by Harrow Council social workers in 1965. Since 1970 the club has been run entirely by volunteers with Geoff Havard as club leader and chairman since 1971. Geoff and his wife Julie wrote to the Trust thanking us for our donation and mentioned that inspired by our sale they also held their own plant sale and collected even more donations.

Later in June, Jonathan was striding out again to tell us all about Roxeth Hill and Middle Road. Those who joined in learned about the development of local health services in the 19th and 20th centuries and the location of two of Harrow’s original hospitals. Middle Road contained a number of shops and some fine buildings by local architect E. S. Prior.

Jonathan finished his series of walks for the year on the 12th September with a walk entitled Quirky Corners of the Hill. A crowd of over 40 enjoyed walking around in the sunshine, learning where the smallest house in Middlesex was - in West Street by the way. The eagles that were unsuitable for girls and the dated drain pipe were amongst the fascinating quirks.

Jonathan is planning at least three more walks for next year. There are plans afoot to set up a podcast of all his talks before the end of the year, with the help of some technically sophisticated boys from Harrow School.

If you have an idea for an event on the Hill and would like to arrange it - and publicise it - through the HHT, we would love to hear from you. Simply email us at [email protected] to start the ball rolling.

Kids CommitteeAs you may know Solveig Wilson is acting as a facilita-tor for the newly formed Kids Committee. The members of the committee are:

Victoria Catherall Eilidh McDonald Eve Mills Zoe Mills Alex Wendelken Dickson

This year, they met and planned their first event and I would like to say on behalf of the Trust a big thank you to them all. Here’s a review of the event from the children….

The Harrow Hill Trust Kids Committee held a very success-ful Treasure Hunt and Picnic on the 12th June. Lots of people attended, luckily it was a sunny day and everyone managed to follow our clues through to the “treasure chest” filled with suitable prizes.

After our picnic some people went to St. Mary’s Church fete which was really fun, we all walked to the top of St. Mary’s Spire and we could see all of Harrow. Overall we had a great day. All together we raised £31.60 which we gave to the Salvation Army.

We would love it if more children joined in our activities but we realise it will take time to notify people of our events.

If anyone is interested in joining the Kids Committee, or learning more, just email [email protected]

HHT member Peter Chlapowski and his award-winning firm of architects, PCKO in Lowlands Road (www.pcko.co.uk), have won a tender to design and build this 6 star hotel and leisure/residen-tial complex set on a rocky promontory overlooking Fairy Moun-tains in Chonqing province in China.

Just to prove that they can do it in the UK too, theirs was one of the shortlisted projects for 2010 Building Awards called Banks Yard, a completed scheme of 28 affordable and shared ownership dwellings in Hounslow for Octavia Housing Association. Peter’s company also won the award for Best Small Development 2009 (Affordable Homes Ownership Awards), in 2008 they won the Historic Housing Design Award for Spinney Gardens scheme of 46 low energy, starter homes in Crystal Palace, and in 2005, they won the BD Architect of the Year Award.

It’s good to know that we are not short of talent in Harrow. Perhaps it’s PCKO Architects and Peter Chlapowski that the Dandara Tower needs.

Local architectural excellence spreading to China

During discussion of the Craft Club in Ann Whybrow’s village in Herefordshire, it occurred to Ann and to Jill Evans that something similar might prove popular on the Hill, providing a focus for activities related to art and craft, conversation, and general bonhomie for local people, both men and women. Many of the events that used to take place on the Hill seem to have faded away, and there could be a wish for something similar to bring people together. There is no doubt a wealth of talent hidden away, though talent is not a necessary condition for taking part.

As yet there are no specific plans for time or place where this might be held: the first thing is to find out if there is any interest. If you are, or can offer any suggestions, please ring either Jill on 020 8423 0767 or Ann on 020 8422 9104. They look forward to hearing from you.

Hidden Talents?

She has been in the job just one year and is already a good neigh-bour to the Hill and is making a meaningful contribution. She is a breath of fresh air and her vision of where this school fits into the great scheme of things is crystal clear. Her ability to articulate it is undoubtedly persuasive and impressive.

We all know John Lyon is a day school for the boys who live in the area but it is possible that few of us have taken a closer look. There is an interesting map in the school’s reception showing where the boys come from and some 30% are from the HA1 postcode. The others come from the larger Harrow area.

The school was initially called The English Form to differentiate it from Harrow School, where education in the 19th century was still in Latin. The original idea was to create a free grammar school for local families. Its name was changed to the Lower School of John Lyon and in 1876 it became the John Lyon School. The contrast of being just for the local community then caused Harrow School to refer to itself as being available for the general public i.e. a Public School where most of the children were ‘foreigners’ i.e. from outside the parish. The two schools have never been in competition and they are close in many ways, forming part of The Harrow Foundation. This educational charity also includes two schools which Harrow School established in Beijing and Bangkok. The third will shortly open in Hong Kong. (It pays to have a chat with Don Walter about any subject to do with the history of the Hill and I am grateful to Don for his contribution. Ed.)

Katherine taught Mathematics at Warwick School before stepping up to her current job. She had always striven to manage her own school and reached her objective at an unusually young age. She was herself educated in Oxford and grew up in its elegant, quiet, solidly middle class suburb of Summertown which she felt had many qualities similar to those of the Hill.

Katherine believes that the ethos and cultural balance of John Lyon School should reflect those of Harrow as it is today. The school is secular in that there are no religious services. “There is no minority in the school” explains Katherine with some pride in her voice. This is somewhat different from, say 25 years ago, but then the community itself in Harrow was different then too.

The school faces some of the same challenges as many other urban schools with limited space i.e. transport, parking, traffic delivering and collecting boys on a daily basis and above all the fight to maintain academic standards. Fortunately, Katherine has no plans to expand the school as it is at its optimum size. Upgrading and enlarging slightly the catering block is the only project currently on the drawing board.

Katherine wants the school to be a good neighbour and to be seen to be a force for good in the area. It takes no more than an hour’s conversation to be convinced that she will be a very successful head of the John Lyon School and a more than welcome newcomer to the community of Harrow.

The Gosdens can accurately be described as servants of the Harrow community. Tim has been Vicar of St Mary’s for some 13 years and his wife Rosemary is a midwife, as will be one of their five daughters when she has completed her training.

There are few churches in England which have been in situ for over 900 years and of course we all believe that the Hill is a pretty special place, so how does one become vicar of such an extraordinary and important church? Naturally enough there was a ‘beauty contest’ of five candidates, but hearing about the thoroughness of the process was interesting. The committee included all the trustees, the Arch-deacon of Northolt, the editor of Church Times, the Headmaster of Harrow School, representatives of the parish, a church warden as well as the Bishop of Willesden. Some contest! The Rev Tim was chosen.

Indeed, Tim had an unusual background. He was ordained at Canter-bury and served at Christ Church Canterbury under Ramsey, Coggan and Runcie. He worked at the University of Hull and then went to a parish in Taunton. A good deal of experience of town and gown prior to coming to Harrow.

In what way did Tim find Harrow on the Hill different from other parishes? Did Harrow on the Hill present any particular challenges?

“The cultural diversity was clearly attractive and fascinating but also the greatest challenge” explained Tim. Moreover, there is a constant stream of tourists from all over the world all the year round and they never miss out on a visit to St Mary’s.

To explore common ground with Judaism, Tim has arranged a series of four talks at the Bessborough Road synagogue to be run in conjunction with Rabbi Kathleen Middleton. That is taking a leaf from the current Archbishop’s book who has been a rather visible bridge builder with other faiths. These will take place on the last two Wednesday evenings of October and November.

Tim chairs the Interfaith Council of Harrow, which meets regularly. He also chairs the local council of churches which was responsible for setting up the “Street Pastor Scheme.” Homelessness is an increasing problem and St Mary’s ended up with two people living in its hall for nearly six months.

Another challenge in the community is the rate of demographic change and its effect on every aspect of community life. That includes schooling, businesses, work and of course inter-marriage between people of different religions. One of the marriages Tim conducted was between a Christian and a Sikh. When they came to the rehearsal the Sikh father entered the church for the rehearsal minus his turban. Tim enquired why the Sikh father of the bride had removed his turban for the dress rehearsal. “Out of respect to the church” was the reply, as he knew that men in churches did not wear anything on their heads. Tim was impressed by this courtesy and responded by saying that he wanted to express his courtesy to the father by inviting him to be free to wear his turban during the wedding ceremony. The man was most appreciative. He arrived to the wedding wearing the most splendid turban, as did all his male relatives.

Music has always been integral to the life of St Mary’s. There used to be an annual music festival in the 1990s, which ran for a number of years. It had been wound up as it was just not financially viable. More recently, the renowned pianist Colin Stone has been organising a series of top class chamber music concerts which have proved to be popular. There have been other concerts by ensembles such as the Chilingirian Quartet.

Tim’s other challenge is one which he shares with every other vicar of the Church of England. Each vicar is allowed to make up his or her own mind on a whole range if important issues. This is not just some Big Idea pushing decisions down to community level but an important tenet of the Church of England. Encouraging each vicar to inter-pret the Bible must be welcome by some, but it does place a heavy burden of responsibility on them. It also means that interpretations could vary from parish to parish.

At St. Mary’s, Tim will marry divorcees. He approves of women being ordained. St Mary’s is an inclusive church and warmly welcomes a widely diverse mix of people. As the history of the Church in this country is very mixed, so also is the congregation at St. Mary’s.

Finally, St Mary’s is the Borough Church and has had and still does have, close relations with the Mayor who comes to St. Mary’s on at least two occasions each year along with the Borough’s councillors, the Deputy Lieutenant and many representatives from local voluntary groups. Tim is delighted that St Mary’s has been voted by the people of Harrow as a symbol of the Borough during the Olympic Games.

The Hill is lucky to have such a vicar devoted to the service of the community. May he remain in situ for some time to come.

Reverend Tim GosdenVicar of St Mary’s Church
