in November, it was very meaningful.

We have so many fond memories of

you all and will never forget the time

we have spent here, you are all very

special people.

The retiring collection, which is to be

donated to charities nominated us,

raised a total of £485.20 which gives

£242.60 to their respective charities.

Rhys has nominated Lincoln District

Breaking NewsTrevor Richmond, formerly of The Cottage at Kettlethorpe, has been awarded an MBE in the recent Queen’s New Year Honours List for his services to the Army Cadet Force.

Many Congratulations from Trentside Links.

delivering to Stow Park.

The Royal British Legion 2014 Poppy Appeal

The Poppy Appeal this year

raised a magnificent £3171.97,

an almost 40% increase over last

year’s total, an area record and a

figure which the community can be

immensely proud of. It clearly shows

our total respect for our armed

services. Not only do they fight

conflicts on our behalf protecting our

shores, they are there for us in any

national emergency, and they are

now in West Africa fighting a disease

which not only threatens us but the

entire world.

I can confidently predict that this

year’s national total will also be a

record. The hundredth anniversary

of the outbreak of WWI, the poppy

installation at the Tower of London

and the associated

media coverage seems

to have had a huge

impact on the nation and they have

certainly embraced this year’s appeal.

Thank you all for your generosity.

Whilst all the communities have

given generously, Marton almost

doubled their previous total. Both

Marton Primary School and The

Ingleby Arms showed considerable

increases, the school over a 200%

increase and the pub under new

management showed a massive

1200% increase (Mark Taylor, the new

landlord, is an ex-soldier, so the RBL

is very close to his heart).

A special mention must also go to

Stephanie Day who single-handedly,

in her 31st year of collecting, raised

£277.05 in Thorney. A record for the

village.

Again thanks to Geoff and Helen

Mitchell who once more braved

the elements not only standing

at the Little London car boot sale,

but also in August collecting at the

70th anniversary

celebrations of the

battle of Arnhem in

Holland! Our thanks

as always also go John Mannion for

his kind permission and support for

allowing the collection at the car

boot.

Again this year Bob Cook did house-

to-house collections in Torksey and

Marton, two villages are a bit too

much of a good thing, so if there is

anyone in either village who could

lend a hand next year please contact

me.

Finally sincere thanks to all those

other collectors and helpers who

year-on-year provide support,

without them there would be no local

appeal. They as we all do recognise

the sacrifices our service personnel

and families give to allow us the

freedom we all enjoy every day.

Mr Lloyd, who joined the

Merchant Navy in 1929, was

an able seaman on the SS Carsbreck

in October 1941.The ship was in

a convoy sailing from Gibraltar to

England when one of the escort

vessels, HMS Cossack, was hit soon

after midnight. Three hours later the

Carsbreck was torpedoed and sunk.

Mr Lloyd recalls that he and some

of his colleagues were in the water

until daylight just floating in their life

jackets. “When it was getting light I

saw a ship coming near, she shone

an orange search light over us then

switched it off and went away.

You can imagine how we felt.”

The ship however, which

turned out to be the Free

French Commandant Dubec,

returned when it was proper

daylight and picked up the

survivors. “It appears that

if she had come among us in the

darkness more of us could have been

killed than saved.”

Unfortunately the Captain of the

Carsbreck was found to be dead and

was buried at sea from the French

ship.

Mr Lloyd says they eventually caught

up with the convoy and he was

transferred to HMS Ariquard, an

ex-passenger steamer which was

torpedoed in the early hours of the

following morning. This time Mr Lloyd

was picked up by HMS Campion.

Later he was put aboard an old WW1

destroyer, HMS Vidette, and taken

back to Gibraltar.

Five weeks later he got a passage

home on the SS Rucking and a few

days later she too was torpedoed.

Mr Lloyd’s next voyage was to

Murmansk. “I only did one Russian

convoy run and that was one too

many.”

Later in the war he was sailing to

Australia on the SS Triona when she

was hit by a torpedo. “The ship was

equipped with anti-torpedo nets and

was not damaged,” he said with a

sigh of relief.

At the time of this interview Mr

Lloyd was a widower after 48 years

of marriage, with three sons and a

daughter.

My Story John LloydGeoff Lloyd, a resident of Fenton, sent us a newspaper article about his father John Lloyd, who at the time was an 82-year-old ex-merchant seaman. His story is quite remarkable and he told his account of it to the Daily Post in 1995. Here is a recount of the article written by John Clowes.

Despite the bitterly cold temperature more than 100 adults and children came to the ‘Switching-On’ ceremony and

the opening of the newly-expanded play area in Jubilee Park, Laughterton on December 5th.

The evening was hosted by Richard Elliott, Vice Chairman of Kettlethorpe Parish Council who, in his welcoming speech,

thanked everyone for coming, with a particular mention for those who had contributed to the creation of the new play

area. This included special guest Mrs Sharon Elsey, a managing director of Harlequin Design Glass, who he then invited,

(after the usual countdown), to press the on button.

The tree lights came on to ‘oohs and aahs’ and the

children from Newton on Trent School gathered

around the tree to sing the old familiar carols under

the able guidance of Mrs Bristow, Headmistress

and fellow teacher, Mrs Wilkes. The children were

delighted as the sound of bells heralded the approach

of Father Christmas and his elf (better known to the

grown-ups as Tim and Mandy Kyme), and were even

more thrilled as Santa and his helper handed out

goody bags donated by the Parish Council and Sutcliffe

Play, suppliers of the new play equipment.

Amongst the guests were District and County Councillor, Stuart Kinch who had proved particularly helpful to the parish

in their search for funds, Ms Sheryl Smith representing Sutcliffe Play Systems, and sponsors, Mrs Janet Willcock and Mr

Tony Longmate from Fenton and Torksey Lock PC, plus Mrs Anne Wingham (Kettlethorpe United Charities).

During a short lull there was no shortage of takers at the marquee for the hot chocolate or mulled wine to ward off

the chill, as they listened to Jamie Kyme demonstrating his DJ skills, but in a very short time, attention turned to the

darkened play park, where Sharon Elsey stood by the gate, scissors poised. As she cut the ceremonial tape, the whole

area came to life. Floodlights, carefully installed by Councillor Richard Barnard, came on to brilliantly illuminate every

corner of the play area. This was the signal for the children to start cheering and yelling like banshees, as they raced

into the play park swarming all over the new toys, clambering up the climbing frame, whizzing down the slide and

spinning on the new roundabout. It was hectic and certainly a moment to be remembered!

The enjoyment of the evening would not

have been the same without the hard work

of Councillor Rita Atkin, who set up the

format for the whole occasion and organised

the refreshments, with special thanks

going to the Council members’ wives and

other ladies who helped to host the event;

to Hannah who enhanced the festivities

with her therapy ponies, and to Mr Ralph

Needham of Home Farm Close, who kindly

supplied the power for the floodlights.

181monthly parish council meeting

developed into a major undertaking,

with Councillor Vic Dolling becoming

the project manager. He has

masterminded this scheme, from

doing a village survey, filling forms,

making phone calls, writing letters,

through to getting quotes and

preparing the play area site prior to

the new equipment being installed.

Vic’s dedication and attention to detail

from his engineering background

has seen this project through to a

successful conclusion.

He was unfortunately unable to

attend this event due to a brief stay

in hospital but without his general

determination and persistence, this

development could not have gone

ahead. The Council would like to

express its sincere appreciation

to Vic for all his hard work and to

also extend its gratitude to those

who helped to finance the project,

in particular, WREN, the majority

contributor with Ms Cheryl Raynor,

not forgetting the funding provided

by WLDC, via the Local Councillor

Initiative Fund, and the Community

Chest Fund, also the Lincolnshire

County Council Big Society Fund,

Fenton & Torksey Lock Parish Council,

Kettlethorpe United Charities and as

mentioned earlier, Harlequin Glass

Design.

The event raised £90 which will go to

Newton on Trent school funds.

Knaith hall Snowdrop Walk

Since taking over the Trentside Links in 2009 we have been entrusted

with lots of photos, maps and stories spanning many decades and we thought it would be nice to collate all the information we have collected and put it into a book. We will donate a book to the library and each of the parish councils so that the history of our villages is accessible to all.

In order to make this book as informative and interesting as possible we need help from you in a few different ways.

Please send us any memorabilia you may have of our villages, this may take the form of photos, cine film, documents, maps, stories or anything else which maybe of interest. It could be that older members of your family have something tucked away, people move away taking old photos, memories etc with them but maybe you are in touch with these people still. We will scan any documents and photos straight away and give them back to you so you don’t have to worry about losing them.

Help will also be needed in the form

of collecting information, searching archives, proofreading and writing people’s stories.

The villages we cover are written on the front of the magazine and our contact details are:

Sue & Jon Oliver 01427 718837or email [email protected] alternatively Emma Barratt on 01427 718985.

Please see what you can do and help us to pen a book written with the help of the community.

Sunday 22nd February 11am to 3pmWander through the woods beside the

river Trent in this park-like garden with its intriguing church.

There will be a marked walk up to Gate Burton Chateau which sits on a knoll over

the Trent Valley.

Knaith Hall can be found on the A156 Lincoln/Gainsborough Road 3 miles south

of Gainsborough.

Entrance £2.50 per adult in aid of St Mary’s Church, Knaith.

‘Is Christmas in Good Taste?’

Members of the Fine Arts Society met

at the Trinity Centre for the December

lecture from historian and author

David Phillips. In light-hearted vein,

David questioned whether Christmas

had gone downhill and become

hopelessly vulgar and if there had

been a time when it was a celebration

of real values.

Our traditional images include the

Madonna and Child of Boticelli, the

Manger Scene by Giotto and the

Census at Bethlehem by Breugel. The

serious change in emphasis began in

the C19th with the Christmas books

of Charles Dickens, the northern

European Christmas tree introduced

by Prince Albert and the gifts shown

in a series of family portraits in the

early C20th, printed cards in lieu of

personal letters and the 1823 poem

‘Twas the Night Before Christmas’

with the addition of reindeer and a

rotund St. Nicholas.

Clearly now artistic good taste has

been sacrificed to commercialism

and been violated by trivialising

the emotions with an image of

Christ on a motorbike. Fortunately

however the pre-commercialisation

Christmas images are still very much

in existence!

kindly put on a Christmas Eve

afternoon of fun, music and games at

the Friendship Inn in Laughterton.

A good time was had by all, and

I know everyone will join me in

thanking Jamie for once again

giving up his time to put his local

community in the festive mood.

The donation bucket raised a

wonderful sum of £61.66 for the

Ethan Maull “Up Yours to Cancer

Foundation”.

Pictures by Kitty Barratt.

On New Year’s Day Alison and Rodger Brownlow kindly invited

us to a 2.5 mile walk around their wood in Kettlethorpe.

We started in Serpentine and walked up to Blackthorn which is a plantation on an ancient woodland site (PAWS) and back again through Serpentine.

PAWS - “During the time of the Forestry Commission's drive to make woodlands more productive, especially during the 1950s, ‘60s and ‘70s, many ancient woodlands were planted up with exotic conifer species. This was very damaging as the light needed by ancient woodland species was no longer available under the dense conifer canopy.During recent years, we have been

assessing PAWS sites and helping owners and agents to sensitively restore them. The Woodland Trust has funded this work and we are immensely grateful to them.”

The weather was kind after a cold snap over Christmas and it was a lovely treat to walk off some of the Christmas fayre.

On our return to Ivy Cottage we were met with a wonderful spread complete with mulled wine…well it would be rude not to!

Lincolnshire North has been

challenged to an outdoor inter-

federation bowls tournament to mark

the Centenary in 2015. The match

will take place on Friday June 19th at

Southwell Bowls Club. A request form

from Sue Bradley at WI House was

made for any bowlers keen to make

up a team.

After 37 years at Lee Street in Louth,

WI House is now moving to new

premises in Horncastle that will be

more suited to the 21st century.

Lincs North Federation choir will be

taking part in the regional heats on

the 15th November.

Our speaker was Margaret Green

who spoke about the famous Lincoln

Ghost Walk that she has been

involved with since 1996. Her interest

started when she came to our

county and bought (unbeknown to

her) a haunted cottage. The existing

residents turned out to be a ghost cat

and a rather unfriendly man whom

her children named George. When

they later moved to a modern house,

the cat moved with them. Margaret

continues to experience ‘happenings’

on her ghost walks. She says that

there have been nine or ten sightings

in the last three months alone of

a huge black horse and its rider

galloping through the streets of uphill

Lincoln. There is also a mischievous

little boy Humphrey, who likes to sit

with customers in Brown’s pie shop,

generally seeking attention.

Instead of the usual tea and biscuits

we were treated to cakes donated

by members of the committee,

and asked if we would like to

make a small donation to the UK

International Day of Rural Women.

This campaign brings people all over

the world together to drink tea and

reduce the deprivation of women

where there is rural poverty.

November 2014

It was announced that members

were invited for coffee to the new

home of Lincs North Federation in

Horncastle, on Tuesday December

2nd during the morning.

We were pleased to welcome back

our treasurer Vivienne Elliott after

her operation (and members were

reminded during the evening that

some new faces would be welcomed

on the committee at the AGM next

year!).

By the time you read this report the

Christmas theatre choice of Aladdin

will have been enjoyed, together

with our December meeting, brought

forward by one week to December

9th. Also a coffee morning at Ann

Lister’s home in Laughterton. Like

most organisations we try to keep

the vital busy days close to Christmas

for the last minute shopping,

travelling or any other surprise

factor!

Our speaker was Mr Frank Powell

(ex-Lt Commander) who talked

about the X-craft submarines. Many

of these small but powerful boats

were made for and used in the last

war, particularly around the coast of

Norway. Remembering that Germany

had penetrated that country and was

threatening our position in the seas,

these submarines were very useful in

ruining their coastal stations. Some

of these X-subs were made in what

is now Marshall’s Yard under great

security. The local population were

mostly unaware of all the activity,

and all work was shrouded in covers.

The work was described as the

making of patrol boats. Moving the

finished subs proved difficult at first

since one leg of the Trent Bridge had

been stacked with explosives in case

the enemy had attempted to cross.

There is one old X-submarine still

preserved in the museum at Gosport

Hampshire, and four Victoria Crosses

were won in the seas around Norway

connected to their patrols.

The competition was won by Nancy

Price, followed by Pat Green and

Janet Willcock, and Janet’s name

turned up in the raffle draw along

with Audrey Payne, Ann Lister,

Margaret Barrett, Doreen Wright,

Linda Mullally, Pat Brown, Ann Close

and Viv Elliott.

green men from Mars or the delights

of a local pub? Actually neither,

although the pubs were slightly

relevant to the information we were

given by Loretta Rivett, our visiting

speaker, last Wednesday.

“The Green Man” is a popular name

for English public houses and various

interpretations of the name appear

on inn signs which sometimes show

a full figure rather than just the head.

A few of the Lincolnshire Green Man

pubs were referred to namely in

Louth, Norton Disney, Scamblesby

and Stallingborough.

The “Green Man” we

actually heard about and

discussed is the dimly

remembered symbol

of an ancient spirit

of nature, recognised

and revered by many

civilisations and adopted

by many religions. He

can be found in churches, chapels

and cathedrals all across Europe. He

dances in May Day processions and

he also appears on temple walls in

India and in churches in Borneo.

Loretta showed many slides

complementing her talk, giving the

audience various facts and allowing

us to think through these and

come to our own conclusion as to

why the Green Man was actually

depicted and what he represents.

It is generally thought

that these heads/faces

represent a life force, a

way of connecting with

nature and is primarily

interpreted as a symbol

of rebirth, representing

the cycle of growth each

spring.

Loretta explained, and could describe

quite accurately with superb slides

from her journeys across the country

collecting data and photographs,

that generally this figure takes three

forms:

- the Disgorging Head -

shown spewing vegetation

out of its mouth, down its

front and over its head

- the Foliate Head - foliage

growing from the face

and covering the head

but not coming from the

eyes, mouth or nose, only from

around the face and head

- Jack in the Green - a face staring

out from behind foliage.

Loretta questioned whether these

all developed from one type. Some

churches show all of the different

images and should you wish to visit

a church and seek a face out it is

always best to look at the corbels

supporting the window ledges; the

misericords; the roof vaulting or even

outside the door.

The infamous sanctuary

knocker on the main

door of Durham

cathedral depicts a

Green Man - Foliate. In

medieval times, it was

an important symbol of

the cathedral’s political

role because someone

who was in trouble could bang on the

door and claim sanctuary within the

cathedral for up to 37 days in which

time either be reconciled or properly

arrested.

Loretta quoted St. Peter’s at Barton

upon Humber and St. John’s Church

(now the 20:21 Arts Centre) as good

local examples where various faces

can be seen should anyone wish to

visit.

But thinking outside the box was

encouraged by Loretta so we could

see the parallels in other parts of

our lives. Well-known mythical

names we have grown up with were

quoted - Robin Goodfellow, Puck of

Midsummer Night’s Dream, Robin

Hood (Lincoln Green), Peter Pan who

181we are told enters the civilised world

from Neverland dressed in green

leaves and even Father Christmas

who, until the 1930s when Coca Cola

took this jolly figure on as their logo

and put him in a red outfit, was often

shown dressed in green.

We hadn’t been listening long when

we all realised that there is a lot more

to the question of the Green Man

than we thought. However the name

Green Man, perhaps surprisingly,

dates back only to 1939, when it

was used by Lady Raglan (wife of

the scholar and soldier Major Fitzroy

Somerset, 4th Baron Raglan) in her

article “The Green

Man in Church

Architecture”,

published in the

“Folklore” journal

of March 1939. Prior to this, the

carvings whether in stone or wood

were just known as ‘foliate heads’,

and few people took much interest

in them. Lady Raglan’s interest was

piqued by her discovery of the Green

Men in St. Jerome’s Church in the

village of Llangwn in Monmouthshire

(Gwent), Wales. In spite of Lady

Raglan’s final paragraph which would

infer that there is a lot more to this

subject, the “Folklore” article was her

only foray into folklore study, quote -

”This figure I am convinced, is neither

a figment of the imagination nor a

symbol, but is taken from real life,

and the question is whether there

was any figure in real life from

which it could have been taken. The

answer, I think, is that there is but

one of sufficient importance, the

figure variously known as the Green

Man, Jack-in-the-Green, Robin Hood,

the King of May and the Garland

King, who is the central figure in the

May Day celebrations throughout

Northern and Central Europe.”

Today her theory is disputed simply

because we know that the folklore

figures she quotes are of a much

later provenance than the Green Man

carvings.

Because by far the most common

occurrences of the Green Man are

stone and wood carvings in churches,

chapels, abbeys

and cathedrals

in Europe

(particularly

in Britain and

France), some

experts have seen this as evidence of

the vitality of pre-Christian traditions

surviving alongside, and even within,

the dominant Christian mainstream.

Incorporating a Green Man into

the design of a medieval church or

cathedral may therefore be seen as a

kind of small act of faith on the part

of the carver that life and fresh crops

will return to the soil each spring

and that the harvest will be plentiful.

Pre-Christian pagan traditions and

superstitions, particularly those

related to nature and trees, were

still a significant influence in early

medieval times.

Loretta reminded us that tree

worship goes back into the prehistory

of many of the cultures that directly

influenced the people of Western

Europe which is not surprising with

much of the continent of Europe

being covered with vast forests. It is

perhaps also understandable that

there are concentrations of Green

Men in the churches of regions

where there were large stretches

of forests in ancient times, such as

in Devon and Somerset, Yorkshire

and the Midlands. She pointed out

the human-like attributes of trees

(trunk - body, branches - arms, twigs

- fingers, sap - blood), as well as their

strength, beauty and longevity which

makes them an obvious subject for

ancient worship.

Of course, the Green Man of the

Middle Ages may just have served as

a decorative or architectural feature,

in much the same way as gargoyles.

Such carvings were often thought

by the superstitious stonemasons

and carvers of the medieval period to

ward off death and evil, or possibly

to create a healthy balance of good

and evil in the design. But it is also

entirely possible that such images

held little or no deep symbolism for

many of the carvers representing

little more than an interesting and

diverting bit of fun in which they were

merely following in the footsteps and

traditions of many respected carvers

of earlier years.

So to conclude after an extremely

interesting presentation by Loretta

we can perhaps agree that the

Green Man means different things

to different people and different

cultures.

It is generally thought that these heads/faces

represent a life force, a way of connecting with nature

Newton community hub/Meeting Point

Newton on Trent Church of England Primary School is keen to find out

about the needs of the residents of Newton on Trent village, in terms of accessing activities and services.

We have been considering opening up one of our small teaching spaces to create a ‘Community Hub’, where local residents can come onto our premises to access a range of services, such as using computers, photocopying and printing; taking part in courses such as writing a CV, basic French, or computing; and meeting with representatives from

services such as the Citizens Advice Bureau, Housing advice and Benefits advice. What we need to know is whether or not this is something of interest, and what ideas you may have for which services and activities should be provided.

We published a similar questionnaire a couple of years ago, about the need for before-school, after-school, and pre-school childcare. Based on your responses, these are all now a well-established part of our school.We would be most grateful to receive your reply to the questionnaire below,

by Thursday 12th February 2015.

You can hand it in to school, or Newton on Trent post office, or you can post it to :

Newton on Trent Church of England Primary School, High Street,Newton on Trent, Lincs LN1 2JS.

Or you can email a scanned copy to [email protected]. If you have any questions, please call us on 01777 228365. Thank you.

Please write down any services that would be of interest to you (e.g. housing advice, benefits advice, food bank, credit union, Citizens Advice Bureau, baby clinic, etc.).What times during the day would it be best to come and use these services?

What prevents you from using these services somewhere else?

If we were to run short courses at school for adults, what might you be interested in? (e.g. holiday French, computing, parenting skills etc.).Would you like to offer to run a course?If yes, in what?

What additional services would be of interest to you (e.g. photocopying, printing, IT facilities etc.)?We are keen to also support interest groups that might like to meet in school on a regular basis e.g. knitting, crafts, scrabble, coffee afternoons, dominos, etc. Please name any groups that you may be interested in joining.We already run after-school clubs for our children (e.g. cookery, gardening, IT, knitting, etc.). What clubs might you be interested in joining in with alongside the children?Anything else you would like to mention?

Which village do you live in?What age bracket do you fall into? (Please circle) 16-25 26-35 36-45 46-55 56-65 66+Your name (optional):Address/email/telephone number (optional):
