Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Following the huge success of the Whitton Apple Fest on 18th October 2015, it is set to become an annual event. This year it followed the Harvest Festival held at the
Church and heralded the opening of the refurbished village hall.

Whitton church is sometimes talked of as being partly Anglo-Saxon, but in fact there does not seem to be any bit of it that was built in that era and it may have been as
late as 1200 when a stone structure was first built. What has become evident, in the last few years however is that an Anglo-Saxon cemetery existed only a few yards away from the church, in what is now the garden of Phillip and Susan Sibborn. In 1987 eleven skeletons were found in the garden on Chapel Lane, and after the police had decided that they were not recent murder victims, Scunthorpe museum briefly excavated the burials. In 2001 and 2002 archaeologists from Sheffield University excavated again and uncovered more skeletons, some of which were buried in oak coffins with elaborate metal fittings. One of the archaeologists first thoughts was that the cemetery might be associated with a legendary monastery founded somewhere in North Lincolnshire by St. Etheldreda, a seventh-century princess. This monastery is usually linked to nearby West Halton, where the church is actually dedicated to her. The three investigations at the site uncovered in total the remains of around fifty individuals and analysis of the remains eventually suggested that this was the cemetery for a normal lay population, because it included adult males and females of all ages, together with juveniles and infants, and so was probably not part of a monastery. Radiocarbon dates were acquired from three skeletons, which produced dates in the eighth- and ninth-centuries, indicating that the age of the cemetery is close to that, which had been
suggested on the basis of the coffin-fittings.
A princess in the parish?

Perhaps there are two possibilities.Was there an earlier, Anglo-Saxon church associated with the burial ground, a wooden building which had come and gone before the Doomsday survey of 1086 which had found no church or priest? It seems likely that our stone church was dedicated by Robert Shrewsbury, the Bishop of Bangor, between 1197 and 1213, in the time of Richard the Lionheart or his brother , John Lackland, the bad King John of the Robin Hood stories. It is conceivable that it replaced an Anglo-Saxon structure, on or about the same site at a time when it was not yet the fashion to bury the settlement’s dead close by the church.
Alternatively it may have been just one of a number of burial grounds, scattered around Whitton, which did not yet have a church and when the first body was interred, would not have a structure of stone for several hundred years. When at last the present church was built, churchyard burials had gone from being just a fashion for the clergy (probably by the tenth century) to the norm for all the villagers, and so the present church yard was established, and the one or more Anglo-Saxon ones became disused, and then completely forgotten.
We may never get to know the truth as the Sheffield archaeologists have come and gone, and it is inconceivable that Whitton could ever be of sufficient interest to the Department of the Environment that they would authorise an investigation like that, from 1977-85, in and around St Peter's Church, Barton-upon-Humber. This was a dig that showed that a cemetery on the site pre-dated even the famous Anglo-Saxon tower of St Peter’s.

This event is fast becoming a Whitton ‘tradition’. For those of you who haven’t been before this as all
you need to know. The walk is from Whitton along the river bank to the Bay Horse in Winteringham, where a hearty brunch is enjoyed, at the cost of £4.50 per person. Every year a few folks who do not wish to walk join us at the Bay Horse. On New Year’s Day we meet at the Village Hall from 10am onwards – ready to depart at 10.30. Residents, friends and families are all very welcome to come along. Dogs are also welcome, with their owners pre-parking a car at the Bay Horse so the dogs can enjoy a post-walk nap while their owners are enjoying some food! The whole thing is very relaxed and informal with everyone walking at the speed which suits them.
After brunch there is a choice – walk or drive back. The Village Hall will be open before and after the event for toilets and for those wishing to have a cuppa and a chat on their return. Now here's the important bit – the Bay Horse needs to know how many people will be coming. Fran Ross is taking numbers this year. So if you wish to come along please let her know by December 24th by phone on
733474 or email on [email protected] .

Whitton’s first Pub Night in the Village Hall was 27th November. With a winning combination of good company, your favourite tipple and lots of entertaining banter, success was guaranteed! If you missed this one don’t worry – it will be happening again in late January. If you can’t wait till then don’t forget there is a New Years Eve party in the Village Hall this year. More details are in the Ladies Group article on page 9.
Pub Night Success
You will recall that in our last Newsletter Vanessa Campbell told the sad story of the mariner from Ipswich who, in 1862, was accidentally shot on a boat on the Humber and buried in Whitton churchyard.
Tony Langton, long term resident of this village, can remember this story being told to him as a boy. In those days they were told that the mariner had been shot in the pub. He now thinks it likely that the mariner was brought injured to the pub and died there. He was also told that Mr Constable, who owned the entire village (including the pub) at the time, was so unhappy about something of this nature happening on his premises that he promptly shut the pub down!
We will never know all the facts about the death of this unfortunate sailor – but it is interesting to see that around 100 years later it was still being talked about.

This years meeting will be on 13th January at 7pm.We hope to be in the Village Hall – but some minor work may be underway which means we will
be in the Church instead. This is the annual meeting where decisions are made about how to spend YOUR
money. This is also the meeting where a decision is made about how much money YOU will contribute with your council tax to make our Parish Precept. Every resident over 18 is entitled to come and have their say
at this meeting. This year a representative from Winterton
and District Lions is coming to make a short presentation about the work of the Lions in helping people in our local community.
Please m a k e a n o t e
Whitton Parish Precept Meeting
The Group continues to be well attended. We have a speaker, raffle, book swop and refreshments. September, we had an interesting talk about bees and
the plants they thrive on, by Kevin Seddon, Chair of North Lincolnshire Bee Keepers. In October, Susi Mulligan, willow weaver and sign writer, from Badger Farm, Louth, demonstrated weaving and donated a garden obelisk for the raffle. Alistair Scargall, Silversmith from Winterton spoke about how he designed and created beautiful silver jewellery, in November. Lots of the jewellery was displayed for sale or to order. The Christmas meal was on 9th December, at The Jolly Miller, Wrawby. This was a new venue for our Christmas meal and was enjoyed by everyone who came along. Carol singing this year will be on Tuesday, 22nd December. For fundraising and fun. Meeting at 6.00 p.m., at the Village Hall, wearing a festive hat and with a torch, will make our way around the village. Any Donations gratefully received are for Whitton Church. Plans are underway for a New Years Eve Party to be held in the village Hall, from 7.30 p.m. Everyone is very welcome. Please bring your own drinks. A buffet will be provided, you are welcome to bring extras. An optional donation of £1 per adult towards hall costs can be made. Friends and visitors very welcome. Support our Village Hall.

The Congen i ta l Myo ton ic Dystrophy (CMMD) Fight Fund was started by myself and 3 other fami l ies around the Country. Our goal is to raise awareness of this condition, and to raise funds to pay for desperately needed research. Myotonic Dystrophy is a lesser
known form of Muscular Dystrophy, but the adult onset form is actually the most common - twice as common as Huntingtons – but still very few people have heard of it, and even fewer understand it. Myotonic Dystrophy is a Neuromuscular disorder, which can affect virtually every single organ in the body. It is the most complex of all neuromuscular disorders, as there is no way of predicting how any one person will be affected. We do know that is gets worse with each generation, and it is a degenerative condition with no cure. The earlier the age of onset, the more severe the disorder. My son Dregan was diagnosed with Congenital Myotonic Dystrophy just over a year ago, at the ripe old age of 15. He was diagnosed in 2 minutes by a Neurologist at
Sheffield Children’s Hospital who happened to recognise the symptoms. Dregan is quite unique in that he inherited the Congenital form from his biological father,
which we now know is less than a 1% chance. We had no idea the gene was in the family until Dregan’s diagnosis. Over the years he had been diagnosed with over 20 conditions, all of which can now be put down to Myotonic Dystrophy! With kind support from the Muscular Dystrophy UK charity, we started the Fight Fund in October to provide help to other families who have a child affected with CMMD, to raise awareness and to fund research. As there is currently no research at all in the UK for this disease, all money we raise is put to one side to fund research and it is up to us where the money goes! The stepping stone to a cure is knowledge, and to gain knowledge we need research. We have a JustGiving campaign page, which means that anyone can fundraise on our behalf, and all the money goes to the ‘Fight Fund’ pot! In 2 months the 4 families have raised approx. £6,000 from our Christmas Card campaign, fundraising events, and through amazing people finding us and supporting us! One lady found us and raised over £1000 in memory of her father who recently passed away, he had Myotonic Dystrophy and had a granddaughter with the Congenital form. Every penny directly helps us fight the condition. We have lots of events planned in the upcoming year – Pete is running the London Marathon, I am organising a Dinner and Ball event in Blackpool, and most excitingly, we have been accepted to be the Charity of the Year from Rolls Royce!

We were recently contacted by Sam Scott. He is working within the Special Projects team at North Lincolnshire Council and is currently working on the Northern Lincolnshire Broadband project. He tells us that Superfast
Broadband is coming to Whitton before March 2017. The project is funded by BDUK (Central Government), BT and North Lincolnshire Council.
Part of Sam’s role is to make sure that residences and businesses are aware of when this is happening in their local area and what it can mean for them in terms of access to the internet and the benefits it can bring.
There are plans to bring a roadshow to locations across Northern Lincolnshire, including Whitton, in 2016. This consists of a mobile display vehicle which residents can access to ask questions and find out more about the plans for Superfast Broadband. We hope to finalise a date for this visit in the near future.
More information about the Northern Lincolnshire Broadband project in available on www.investinnorthlincolnshire.co.uk . Sam is happy to answer any questions you may have about the project. As the project progresses and broadband is deployed, information more specific to residents will be available via www.northlincs.gov.uk , via our Facebook page, ‘Northern Lincs Broadband’ or via our twitter feed @nlbb 1. Residents can also enquire about their broadband either through the phone (01724 296926), or they can email at [email protected] . This is Sam’s direct dial number and the email is checked daily so residents are assured of a quick response.

Does Whitton need traffic calming measures and parking attendants? Do city
dwellers know that every morning and evening we experience the rush hour, with constant honking, screeching and jostling for parking space? The noise created by commuters, mainly migrants, really does disturb most early mornings and evenings, even at weekends! Yes, the geese are back again! There seem to be even more this year, what a fantastic sight to see. From our sitting room window we are being treated to wonderful views as they come and go from a newly formed sand bank near the bottom of our garden. As the tide recedes and exposes the sandbank the gulls are the first to take up residence; next come the Barnacle Geese, they are the smaller black and white ones, the larger ones being Canada Geese. Then, in no particular order, come the rest, Greylag Geese, Pink-footed Geese, Cormorants and an odd crow or two. For the next 3-4 hrs we have a veritable wildlife zoo until they are all displaced by the incoming tide. As I mentioned in the last article, Jo and I were lucky to be invited by friends to join them on a sailing rally around the Baltic. We visited Estonia, St. Petersburg, Helsinki and Stockholm – all very interesting but different. In general we enjoyed reasonable weather – we even swam in the sea twice, but with the temperature at 15 degrees not for the faint hearted!!! Whilst on a guided tour round Helsinki our guide pointed out large black and white birds that were grazing on most large areas of grass, lawn and parks etc. He told us they were Barnacle Geese and they, the Finnish people, looked after them in summer and they come to England for the winter. I have not recognised any of them yet! Whilst visiting a restaurant one evening in Sweden, we all realised just how different our weather and seasons are when we were told the restaurant was closing for the end of the season that weekend – it was the second week in August. We returned home in time to see the swallows had successfully raised 4 young and they were flying strongly, catching insects and looking good. Now we are into late autumn/early winter and have only just had our first frost, the weather having been very mild. The small birds have only just started using our bird table and even the hawthorn berries are still adorning the bushes. Usually the wood pigeons have finished them all by now. Over the last few weeks around dusk we have seen flights or groups of starlings heading from west to east, going down river towards Winteringham. One foggy night Jo suddenly pointed out a group flying in the opposite direction. They flew up and formed into a swirling mass, a murmuration. Swooping round very quickly they turned back up the river, then came back again turning and swooping low over the reed-bed alongside our garden at such a speed we could hear the noise of the wind passing over and through their wings. After several circuits they eventually settled for the night. We have not seen them roosting there before or since and can only assume that they had the wrong postcode programmed for that night! The latest arrival on our pond seen only 2 days ago was a Little Grebe. You may remember we had 2 for a while last year, maybe this one will stay all winter. We’ll be looking to see if he is joined by any mates! Maybe even Rudolph if he hasn’t been put off by global warming!
Happy Christmas Everyone.

You may have noticed considerable motorcycle activity on the Cliff a few Sundays ago. This was the first of two ‘trials’ this season which have been
taking place in Whitton since the mid 1950’s.Trials competitions take place in areas of rough ground which are split into sections. The competitor rides through an obstacle course within each section, whilst attempting to avoid touching the ground with the feet. The designated route is carefully contrived to test the skill of the rider. The sections are divided into separate courses to accommodate the different skill level of riders, who compete in skill-rated classes.Trialling is a test of control and balance - in every section, the competitor is scored by an observer who counts how many times the competitor touches the ground with the foot (commonly called ‘dabs’) for which the penalty is one point.The rider who completes the course with the fewest ‘dabs’ is the winner.

We were once again reminded of how lucky we are to live in Whitton. During early November we were treated to the amazing
spectacle of thousands of starlings leaving their roosts. We videoed them on several occasions in the morning just as the sun was rising at 7.07am. They rose up out of the reedbeds between Whitton and Winteringham and made their way west towards Blacktoft Sands. It is thought that starlings group together because there is safety in numbers and the number of starlings in a roost can swell to around 100,000. The RSPB website notes that despite the incredible size of the flocks, starling numbers are just a fraction of what they used to be. The starling population has fallen by over 80% in recent years, meaning they are now on the critical list of UK birds most at risk. The decline is believed to be due to the loss of permanent pasture, increased use of farm chemicals and a shortage of food and nesting sites in many parts of the UK
A Murmuration of Starlings over Whitton
A BIG thank you to Pete and Pam Westwood for repairing the planter outside the village hall. Accidents w i l l h a p p e n b u t r e g r e t t a b l y o n e motorist failed to tell anyone that they had hit the planter and left it in a very bad state as can be seen from this photograph. From the damage done it is evident that the planter
had been hit with some force and it must have done a fair amount of damage to the vehicle concerned. We really thought the planter had been damaged beyond repair but thankfully Pete and Pam worked hard to rebuild and replant it in time for the Apple Fest.
Good as new!
