The Village
VOL.33 MAR 2015
Magazine
Covering Sparkford, Weston Bampfylde, Little Weston, Sutton Montis & Surrounds.
From The Editors Desk...
Hello all after talks with a few local residents I have not backtracked as it may seem but I
have opted to omit the name “Sparkford “from the magazine. It was felt that I was not
including the other local villages to ourselves this was and nor is the case I was just being a
proud member of our village advertising it to the masses! I have placed the local place
names the magazine covers at the bottom of the cover as suggested to me by Justin.
Many thanks it works a treat.
My sole intention is not to annoy you all as it may seem but to put across that this is an
unfunded community magazine with no actual governing body just the buck that stops at
the end of my desk. Due to personal commitments a voluntary post has become open for
the delivery of the Magazine each month in Wolfester Terrace & surrounds in Sparkford
Please if anyone is able to deliver to this area can they make contact so that they can be
dropped to you to deliver thanks in advance
Please Remember this magazine is for ALL of you I look forward to the items being received
each month to be included in the Magazine. Without your input there would be no
magazine
Please send all items to me at: [email protected] or to my home address
shown on back of magazine.
PLEASE REMEMBER THE DEADLINE FOR INCLUSION IS 15th OF EACH MONTH

Helping hands for Sparkford Scouts
After an amazing year in 2014 with new activities and some fantastic camps, Sparkford Scouts,
Cubs and Beavers are looking to build on that success. We have lots of youngsters wanting to
join and growing waiting lists, so we need some new leaders on the team. Do you know of
anyone who might be up for the challenge? With girls and boys in each group, we need female
and male leaders and helpers to make sure we have a really strong, enthusiastic team to run all
our activities. We need both people who want to commit to being a big part of things, and
others who might help from time to time, or bring new skills to our group. If you would like to
get involved or know someone who would be great we would love to hear from you – please
contact Helen Wooldridge 01963 440801 or [email protected]
We are all really looking forward to camps for this year and continuing our fundraising work to
build up our new equipment – we have been busy manning the car parks at Yeovil Town FC, this
time raising funds so we can buy ladles, pots and all we need for some exciting campfire
cooking!
If you would like to get involved or contribute we would love to hear from you – please contact Helen Wooldridge 01963 440801 or [email protected]
Your Watch is still active and all 10 Contacts are available, should anyone need them.
We are awaiting final clearance and authorization from the Police and once this has
been established we will publish names and numbers.
If you are in any doubt who your nearest Contact is, please ring 440741.
We are still hoping that someone will volunteer to be coordinator. There are still
problems with cold callers and unwanted 'phone calls - the answer is, do not get
involved.

The Trust’s Copses have continued to be regularly visited by walkers from Sparkford and Queen Camel. Hill Copse is still the most popular, providing pleasant woodland walks with a wide range of wildlife to be seen, including a small rookery in the nesting season. It is also gives Scouts and junior bikers the opportunity make good use of the woodland paths though, may I put in a plea, – No more new tracks”, they do damage the undergrowth and tree roots! The Millennium Copse continues to present some lovely views of nearby Cadbury Castle and the adjoining hillsides. It is good to see how the small saplings planted just 15 years ago have prospered. Some have now reached 20 feet of vigorous growth. This autumn we did have a couple intrusive campers that caused some minor damage to the Millennium Seat and nearby woodland. If any more should be spotted in the future, just remind them that they are on private property and do not have permission. Wyvern and Ridge Copses are maintained as wildlife reserves and they are occasional haunts of deer and Buzzards regularly nest in Ridge Copse. It is possible that the planned upgrade of the A303 will result in some surplus land adjoining Ridge Copse that could be used to improve access to it. Although our committee members have done a valuable job over the past year, it would be very much appreciated if a few villagers could help with the occasional maintenance task and organizing our membership list and subscriptions. If you would like to help, please let me know, Our AGM will be held in Sparkford Village Hall on April 23rd All Welcome! M Littlewood Chairman, SCT, email [email protected]
Queen Camel Tuesday Group
February 2015
We are a very friendly bunch of ladies and share many things. However, some
things are personal and private. Not so when you have a speaker like John Dando
talking about 'Privies.' He left nothing to the imagination and kept us chuckling
throughout his talk.
From earliest times when man only had bushes to hide behind, through the
relative sophistication of Roman Britain when communal latrines were a form of
meeting house with rows of stone seats and sticks with cleansing sponges
attached, personal relief has been paramount.
Every home had chamber pots and in towns fines were common for people who
emptied these down on unsuspecting passersby. Where space permitted, small
houses were built over or near streams. These were called 'Houses of Easement.'
The spread of diseases like typhoid and cholera were killing thousands and it was
thought that miasmas caused by smelly water had something to do with it.
Water closets were invented and even Elizabeth 1 had one, though she thought
it strange and didn't use it. The first patent was issued in 1750 to Mr Cummings
although it was later that Thomas Crapper perfected the odorless toilet with some
wonderfully artistic and colorful floral creations coming on the market.
For centuries the night soil men had trundled the streets with their barrows,
removing personal waste from houses and dumping it on fields. The resultant
crops always flourished. The Privy (a small shed that housed a toilet) was built in
backyards everywhere and the process of collecting waste and depositing it in
fields continued. These privies had lovingly scrubbed deal seats and squares of
newspaper for personal cleansing.
Nowadays our modern, indoor, flushing loos are much more hygienic we think but
every flush sends millions of germs into the air and where do we keep our
toothbrushes? Thought provoking!
The Tuesday Group meets in the Queen Camel Memorial Hall on the first Tuesday
of each month, at 10.00am. If you want any more information about our activities,
please call
Pat Champion on 01963 32264 or Marion Chapman on 01963 220741.

Bishop’s Message – March 2015
Christians must play full part in society I’m writing this letter on the day that the church celebrates Candlemas – the day that Jesus is presented by his parents at the temple in Jerusalem. Along with their new born son, Mary and Joseph brought a sacrifice of two pigeons, the offering permitted in the Law of Moses for those too poor to afford a lamb. Despite their lack of wealth, however, these peasants from Galilee carried in their arms the child that we have come to believe as the Savior of the world. From the very beginning the Christian faith has had a deep empathy with those who are both born into poverty as well as those who have been thrown into poverty for whatever reason. The creation of a community where all are valued and especially those who are marginalized or excluded through poverty or dis-ease is a key part of Jesus’ vision for the Kingdom of God as we know from our reading of the gospels. And yet, according to Cole Morton writing in the Independent on Sunday at the beginning of February, ‘the richest people living in this country now take a greater share of the total wealth than they did at the beginning of the century. The poverty gap is wide and getting wider.’ In a few weeks’ time we will be voting in a General Election. There are some strong voices that argue that politics and religion should be kept separate. However, the Bishop of Derby, Alastair Redfern, argues convincingly in his book ‘The Word on the Street’ that all public debate is theological debate. ‘Public debate is God’s children trying to decide who we are, where we are going and how best to proceed.’ A key part of our discipleship is God’s invitation to each of us to engage with that public debate so that we can play our full part in the wellbeing of society for the sake of the Kingdom. +Peter Taunton
RECTOR’S LETTER
MARCH 2015
As I write this, there is an air of expectancy around. Spring is just around the corner, buds on the hedgerows, snowdrops blooming underneath. So too is a General Election with its underlying possibilities.
In the Parishes of Cam Vale the land is being prepared, hedges are getting a ‘short back and sides’, ditches are being cleared of accumulated rubbish so that rainwater may flow freely to water new growth, the stubble of last year’s growth is being turned in to nurture the next crop and the fields dressed with fertilizer.
Everything is ready to make the better of the one event we cannot control, but on which we depend for life – the irresistible burst of God’s creative energy that we call spring.
I sense an air of expectancy too in the world of politics. Some of the old ways don’t seem to be working for the well-being of society as they should. Our care of the elderly is not enabling them to flourish, treatment of the sick seems to lack people with enough time, the education of young people lacks resources and is constrained by regulation, and too much of the life-giving energy provided by the flow of money is being diverted to a choice few by blocked ditches within the channels of banking and taxation.
The Scottish Referendum debate revealed hidden energy for political change at a local level and now this is beginning to emerge in the South West of Britain. Perhaps some of the political landscape of our society needs preparation for a new Spring, old growth recycled as fertilizer, blocked channels re-opened, hedge and ditch barriers cut down to size.
The season of Spring is also the season of Lent, a time of preparation among people of faith, in which the mind is prepared and the spirit set free for another year so that personal life may flourish for the benefit of all God’s creation.
I encourage you to take the opportunity of this moment to reflect on the values which under-gird a healthy society – care of the elderly, equality of opportunity, restraint of power, equal access to the law, transparency in our political and business dealings, care for the foreigner and the orphan.
Then to allow that reflection to guide the contribution you make to the community in which you live and to the way you cast your vote for the life of the nation. Stephen Rymer
