The Only Present Worth Having
‘Mum, I got two A grades and a B in my AS levels.’
‘You lazy little ratbag, what a disgrace to the family you are; fancy not working
hard enough to get three A grades. You are grounded till Christmas!’
‘Dad, I think I would like to work in the Voluntary sector when I leave school or
Uni, something like Oxfam or Amnesty.’
‘Oh no you won’t, this life is about getting ahead. You will get a proper job and
make some decent money!’
‘Mum and Dad, I have this funny feeling that I would like to be a Priest.’
‘What, give up your life and prospects to live in a tied house and be at the beck
and call of everyone in the neighbourhood? Not likely. Down to the Graduate
Jobfair right now. Let’s not hear any more of this nonsense!’
All these are true conversations I have heard this year, and they are by no means
uncommon. When they want to serve and spend their lives in worthwhile but
not necessarily highly paid professions, why do we treat young people in this
dismissive way? After all, God himself did not stay up there in Heaven lounging
around. He became a human being in Jesus Christ and lived a life of poverty
and service.
Many of us will spend time this Christmas singing Carols and celebrating the
wonder of this astonishing truth, what in jargon we call the Incarnation, and yet
in practice the last thing we would wish for our nearest and dearest is for them
to do anything remotely like it!
At the Pearly Gates, God will not be the least concerned with the successes of
this life. The only present he is interested in at Christmas or indeed at any other
time is that which lies within us, or as the final verse of the carol ‘In the bleak
midwinter’ puts it:
What can I give him, poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb.
If I were I wise man I would do my part;
Yet what I can I give him, give my heart.

News from All Saints'
Churchyard Autumn Clear-up
The morning of Saturday 1 st November was a rare dry few hours and there was
a good turn out to help with tidying up. It is always a priority to make sure that
the War Memorial area is in good order. Apart from the continuing fall of oak
leaves, the Churchyard is in quite good shape for the winter.
Remembrance Sunday
The service in the church was followed as usual by a short ceremony at the War
Memorial when a sizeable crowd gathered in the road and brought the traffic to
an unwilling halt for a short time. The Chairman of the Parish Council read out
the names of Coleshill’s fallen, and the two minute silence was observed. After
the ceremony, at John Ullman’s invitation, the congregation retired to the Red
Lion for coffee. Thank you John. Your gesture is much appreciated.

All Saints’ Church Flowers
After a summer featuring the cool and elegant creamy lemon theme of Alex
Murphy's wedding, this year it was a spectacular Harvest Festival with vivid
colours both inside the church and in the porch, with amazing animals and
people created by the school children who, encouraged by Catherine Watts,
once again put on a fascinating display. This coincided with the 50th Wedding
Anniversary of Chris and Mary Wege - to whom many congratulations!
A few of the gorgeous crunchy golden chrysanthemums featured in their
special window arrangement even survived long enough to appear again in a
display in Aylesbury Civic Centre where Kate Adie was the guest speaker for
the Bucks WI two and a half weeks later.
We shall be back to white again for the Patronal service followed by
Remembrance when poppies are the theme, of course, and before long it will
the Christingle service with a wedding the day before, so we shall be preparing
the church on the Friday.
Looking ahead to January, Jane McNeilly has kindly invited us to hold our
Bring and Buy Flower Fund Coffee Morning at her house, on Tuesday 13th
January 2009, so if by any chance you get any Christmas presents that are not
quite your heart's desire - you know where to bring them!
Many thanks to all our
very able flower arrangers
who give so willingly of
their time and talents to
keep the flowers in church
looking lovely and to
everybody who supports us
financially and in other
ways. We are always
delighted to welcome new
arrangers to our very
friendly team.

I cannot believe that the time has arrived again for me to give details of what is
on offer for the festive season. As we enter our 20th year here, the years seem to
fly by with increasing speed.
On Christmas Day we will be open for drinks from 11.00 am to 3.00pm, and on
Boxing Day until 5.00pm, after the ‘Round The Houses’ Golf Challenge which
will commence from ‘Pools Patch’ from 10.30 am. Again, for those coming here
for New Year’s Eve, a free buffet, hot and cold will be provided with a glass of
bubbly at midnight. If you intend to come in a big group (more than 6) do let us
know, so that we can prepare a table for you. Also there will be some music
during the evening.
Our teams are having mixed fortunes so far. The darts teams and crib and
dominoes teams are languishing in the bottom half of their respective tables.
The former, particularly, are short of players, so any villagers who want to play
darts on a Monday or Tuesday evening, do contact us. The quiz teams however
have got off to a flying start, with the ’B’ team unbeaten at the top of their
division.
Quite a few newcomers have visited us this summer, unaware that we do sell
eggs, bacon, milk, bread, butter etc if you run short. We are nearly always open
from 9.00 am.
A very happy Christmas to everybody. I am not sure that a prosperous New Year
is appropriate at this time, but we do wish all a very healthy one.

Coleshill Mobile Library
The mobile library visits Coleshill every other Friday. It stops beside the pond and
is there from 2.20 to 2.35pm. It’s only a short window of time but is well worth a
visit. It’s stocked with a wide range of books, including large print, and has a
special children’s section with little seats. There are videos, DVDs, talking books
and the librarian can even sell you stamps!
Currently it’s woefully under-used by villagers – so if we don’t use it we shall
lose it! Please support this new initiative for the village.
The mobile stops at Coleshill (Village Pond) at 14.20-14.35 on alternate Fridays.
The dates are as follows:-
November 28th, December 12th, January 9th & 23rd, February 6th & 20th, March
6th & 20th, April 3rd & 7th, May 1st, 15th, 29th, June 12th & 26th
Village Hall
I have failed to find a Fitness Instructor to use the Village Hall during the weekday
partly because I couldn’t guarantee enough people to use the class.
There is still a chance of working out in the Hall on Sunday mornings when there is
Body Pump from 9 to 10am and Spinning from 10 to 11am. On Monday evenings
there is Short Mat Bowls at 7.30pm.
Just turn up at the Hall at the appropriate time and I’m sure you’ll be made welcome.
The Hall will have been used by the School, Church and WI for their Christmas
festivities and I think our long standing, or should it be sitting, hirer, the Bridge Club
enjoys a party amongst themselves as well.
In January the large hall and vestibule will be decorated as we continue to maintain
and improve the Hall. So no more Blu tack and sticky tape please!

Parish Council
At the Parish Council meeting on the 13th November it was decided that the
precept request to Chiltern District Council for the next financial year should be
for £6.500.00p, which is an increase of £1,500.00p on the precept for the last
financial year. It is hoped that CDC will agree to this amount as, during the
spring of 2009, major dredging work is to be undertaken on the village pond.
Before that work can commence, a general clear-up around edge of the pond
will be organised. Whilst this tidy-up is a hard morning’s work, it is fun! The
date will be advertised within the next two weeks, volunteers are always
welcome, come along and join the fun.
We welcomed PC Gavin McVeigh, from Thames Valley Police and Chris
Schweir from Buckinghamshire County Council to the Parish Council meeting.
They came along to answer any questions put to them during the democratic 1⁄2
hour. Gavin is the home beat officer for Coleshill and is also one of the co-
ordinator’s for the local NAG committee, if you have any non-urgent queries or
questions, you can use the Thames Valley Police suggestion box which is placed
under the CPC notice board. Chris Schweir came along to listen and take back
to BCC questions and complaints about road conditions, whether they be the
many pot-holes, non gritting of New Road in icy weather or bad drainage
causing very large puddles after heavy rain. I will keep you informed of his
replies to these points, when I receive them. If you would like to report a pot
hole etc to BCC, please telephone ‘Highways on Call’ on 0845 230 2882 or
email
If you haven’t signed up for the email alerts from the Parish Council please do
so by emailing me at
warnings are always helpful during the winter months as are the Thames Valley
Police warnings concerning criminal activity in the local area.
When the findings from the recent speed assessment strips have been diagnosed
I will email them out. It has been noted that just placing the strips across the
road made many drivers more aware of the speed they were doing and in
general all vehicles slowed down.
The next Parish Council meeting is on Thursday 15th January 2009, starting at
8.00pm; we look forward to seeing you there.

Colin Lambert Chairman PC
As recently elected to the position of
Chairman of Coleshill Parish Council, I
thought it would be a good opportunity
to introduce myself.
I moved from Harpenden to Coleshill
almost 5 years ago, attracted by the
location and beauty of the village, with
my partner Heather joining me a year
ago. Wanting to contribute to the village,
I stood for and was elected to the Parish
Council in May 2007 and have had joint
responsibility for reviewing planning
applications.
My personal interests include riding and
maintaining Classic Motorcycles, Real
Ale – the Red Lion was a key part of
moving to the village! DIY and cooking
– I’ve been fortunate to win the Edmund
Waller and Red Lion Cups for Cookery
at the Coleshill Horticultural Society
shows in recent years. Although a Chartered Mechanical Engineer, I’ve spent
the last 20 years as an IT Consultant. The traces of flat vowels indicate my
roots, having been born just outside Manchester.
It is my belief that a Councillor’s role is to represent the community’s views in
local issues and the overarching vision for Coleshill is to manage the inevitable
change affecting all of us – population growth, social change, legislation etc. to
try to ensure that Coleshill maintains it unique charm and beauty, which is
what makes it a very desirable place to live in.
The Council meets 6 times a year and over recent years the council has seen a
large number of changes in its membership. You would be afforded a warm
welcome at any of the meetings which are held in the Village Hall, full details
which are held on the Coleshill website (www.coleshill.org.uk).
Council Meetings include a democratic half hour, where you can raise any
issues or concerns with the council. If you are planning any building works,
feel free to come and talk to the council.
I look forward to seeing you at the council meetings, at village events or
around the village.

Coleshill W.I.
This week brings Coleshill W.I. members to yet another A.G.M. and the usual
arm-twisting to get a committee together! However I am sure we will survive
and look forward to another busy year.
Meanwhile let me tell you what has happened in the last few months. Mrs
Tomes came in September to give us a History of Lingerie, and had lots of
weird, wonderful and beautiful pieces to show us from antique to modern. This
evoked lots of memories, and funny stories, giving the members an entertaining
afternoon. October brought the Rag Rugs and we learnt there is more than one
way to make them and that it can become addictive if you start learning. From
the purely functional rag rugs of our childhood the handicraft has reached new
heights of decorative wall hangings and National competitions! Autumn brings
the meeting of The Chesswoods Group which Coleshill was hosting this time.
There was a good turn out and an attentive audience had an educational half-
hour learning about Maritime London and viewing some excellent slides
contrasting the docks ‘then’ and ‘now’. Captain William Wells looked
resplendent
in
his
uniform and we were not
surprised to learn that he
lectures regularly on the
bigger cruise liners and
was off to join the
Q.E.11 on her last
journey home. Of course
our December Meeting
will be our annual
Christmas Lunch.
Yes, you guessed it, we
have been on some
outings too. A select
group went to Wycombe
Swan to watch the Ballet
Rambert and discussed
the style of dance, the
music and the artistic
impression the whole
way home, definitely a
stimulating
evening!
Kate Adie presenting to the WI County Meeting at Shortly afterwards a
Aylesbury Civic Centre, posing behind the flowers much larger crowd had a
marvellous time laughing
arranged by Catherine Green
with the Calendar Girls.
It was brilliantly staged

Horticultural Society
We need new ideas for the Annual Village Show. Whilst the show is organised
by the Horticultural Society we understand that bad summers are not the best
platform for showing fabulous home grown vegetables and flowers. The show
has always had categories for handicrafts, flower arranging, baking and
photography plus a wonderful children’s section. Perhaps you have an idea for
another category, jewellery making, poetry, glass painting or woodwork? Let us
know what your ideas are and, if you would like to, why not join the committee
and help plan the Spring Talk and Annual Show?
If you have any good tips for gardening, caring for house plants and cut flowers,
why not pass them on? You can do this by sending your tips to the village
website which is www.coleshill.org and they can be posted on the Horticultural
Society page.
We look forward to 2009 being a good weather year and for us to have a
bumper Village Show.
David and Susan Smith
Joint Presidents
Coleshill W.I. continued
and most of us thought it portrayed the W.I. more realistically than the film did.
It was surprising there were not more men in the audience, they’d have enjoyed
the scenes of ‘nude’ photography!
Now I’m off to our very own Denman College at Marcham, near Oxford for a
residential weekend course with lots of other ladies from the Buckinghamshire
Federation. It is always good fun and a wonderful chance to escape from the
pressures of living in the South East for a short while. Someone else can think
about the food, laundry and cleaning while I relax and enjoy myself - a real
treat. It has to be one of the best perks that comes with membership of the W.I.
Happy Christmas and a Healthy New Year to all of you reading this from all of
us at Coleshill W.I.

Coleshill History Project
The Coleshill History Group resumed their meetings in September with a
presentation by Chris Wege on the ponds, wells and pumps to be found around
the village. This was topical as a large well had recently been discovered in the
middle of Marigold Curling’s lawn at The Rosary. There was a review of
progress in writing the Parish History to be published in November 2009 and a
discussion of how the book should be launched.
At the October meeting, Patsy Wright-Warren went through her draft chapter
on the Parish Council. The surviving minutes begin in 1915, but her
predecessors as Clerk were very economical in their minute taking. Whilst
blocked footpaths received close attention, the building of the council houses,
two world wars and the 1955 changing of the parish boundary are hardly
mentioned. The Group also looked at the census returns which are to be put on
the Coleshill History Project web-site.(www.coleshill-history.org.uk). The full
text of the 1891 Census Enumerator’s Book was projected on to the screen.
Members were intrigued by the place name ‘Troy Town’ which appeared to be
a group of cottages somewhere between the Plough at Winchmore Hill and the
Queen’s Head on Whielden Lane. This local place-name also appeared on the
1861 Census, where it was applied to about six households. One suggestion
was that the name was a corruption of Tregoe, the surname of an 18 th century
tenant farmer whose house and farm buildings were situated on Whielden
Lane, about 100 yards east of the junction with The Hill. There is now a large
modern house on the site. A pair of half-timbered cottages dating from the 16 th
or 17 th centuries remain. It appears that all the old cottages on the Coleshill
side of the boundary here were called Troy Town in the late 19 th century.
The November meeting focused on Bowers Farm. John Chenevix Trench had
suggested that this imposing 17 th century farmhouse might have been the
manor house of the manor of Stockbury – the eastern side of Coleshill.
Members looked at the documentation which had been collected on the farm,
beginning with the 1662 Hearth Tax when the Allnutt family paid tax on four
chimneys. There was an intriguing agreement of 1689 whereby Zachary
Allnutt conveyed the farm to his son Francis, on condition that he was allowed
to live out his retirement in comfort in certain rooms of the house, with a
guaranteed proportion of farm produce. The 1700 Court Roll of the Manor of
Stock Place – the west side of the parish - recorded that Zachary Allnutt had
died and that Francis Allnutt had been admitted to his land. The property
mentioned, however, was merely a small cottage at Coleshill Green with a
couple of closes of arable land and Moorey Grove. Perhaps John Chenevix
Trench was right and Bowers Farm itself was part of Stockbury manor.
Members looked at Francis Alnutt’s will of 1736 and also at a 1739 mortgage
of Bowers for £1,300. This listed all the land attached to the farm, including
several strips in Claremore Field, one of the common arable fields of Coleshill.
The mortgage on Bowers Farm was not paid back and the farm was bought by
John Crook, a retired perfumer, who lived at Hall Place, near the Church in
Beaconsfield, until his death in 1764. By 1828, Bowers Farm was the property
of John Parton, the Beaconsfield solicitor, who owned it at the time of the TitheEaster

Tennis Club
Being the beginning of the winter and in view of the extensive CTC report in
the last newsletter there is very little to report.
The final social event for the Club in 2008 was the fundraising event. This year
the committee decided to be different and organise a ferret race evening. Yes,
this involved the racing of live ferrets along tubes. There was a tote at which
you could place a bet on the ferret you hoped would win. Apart from the last
race it was an achievement to bet on a ferret which actually came out of it’s
starting box! It was a brilliant evening even though a large majority of the
ferrets chose not to race! We all enjoyed a fish and chip supper – which meant
no washing up for those helping in the kitchen. About £800 was raised which
will go towards the next project – yet to be decided.
During the summer CTC entered a team in the Bucks Mixed Knock Out
Intermediate Competition. Clubs from all over the county enter. There were 16
teams in the Intermediate Cup and Coleshill managed to reach the semi finals
only to be beaten by Wraysbury 6 – 2. In the past we have never managed to get
past the first round so this was quite an achievement, particularly as we beat
Great Missenden along the way. Well done to Madeleine Murray, Karen Lowe,
Neville White and Gerry Gajadharsingh.
A final reminder that Sunday Club play continues throughout the winter months
from 10.30 am to which all members are welcome.
Neville White and John Davis will be running a junior coaching session on
Saturday mornings from 10 – 11 am. Cost £5. Because of the involvement of
our younger members at other sports clubs at this time, this session will be
aimed at those over the age of 12 years. Younger members will be able to join in
if they have a reasonably high standard of tennis. If you are interested please let
me know as this session will not be happening every Saturday due to League
Matches that take place during the winter months at the Club on Saturdays.
To other villagers who are not members of the Tennis Club, under the Rules and
Regulations of the Club you are entitled to use one of the Club courts from 8 am
until 12 noon on Wednesdays.
Wishing you all a very Happy Christmas and New Year.

Coleshill Infants School
The school was oversubscribed again this Autumn and we have 16 new pupils
in the Reception class.
At the beginning of term, all the children took part in art week, learning about
the life and work of the French artist, Henri Matisse. The children made a large
picture of his famous ‘Tiger in the storm, Surprised!’ painting and linked the
theme of stripes to patterns in nature. This is currently on display in our
entrance hall. We visited Whipsnade Zoo at the end of September and were
blessed with beautiful, sunny weather.
Harvest Festival took place in the school hall in October and was well attended
by parents and visitors. We had an excellent display of harvest produce, which
was sold after the service. The money raised this year was again sent to the
Moorings farm education fund in Zambia to buy equipment and pay fees,
enabling local children to attend school.
We have planned many exciting activities for the children this term. The
Amersham Band visited us and performed some lively pieces for everyone and
the children were able to try out some of the brass instruments. We also invited
the Juma Caribbean Steel Band to play for us and lead a workshop, as well as a
theatre group to perform, ‘The Snow Queen’. As a special Christmas treat, a
professional theatre group; ‘Bangers and Mash’ will entertain the children with
the pantomime, ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ in December.
Our Christmas Bazaar will take place in the village hall on November 22 nd from
11.00 to 1.00 p.m. This year we have school Christmas cards, priced £5.00 per
pack and calendars for sale, using the children’s artwork, which will be
available at the Bazaar or from the school office after that. Thank you to
everyone who gave generously to our tombola stalls, as well as supporting us
throughout the year.
Our Christmas play this year is a musical by Niki Davies entitled simply ‘The
Nativity’. We always appreciate an audience for our dress rehearsal, so if you
are able to come you will be warmly welcomed on Monday, December 8 th at
11.00 a.m.
Our end of term service will take place at 11.00 a.m. on Friday, December 19th
at All Saints’ Church, which you are also very welcome to attend.
A very happy Christmas from everyone at the school.
