ALL SAINTS* VILLAGE^^ NEWSLETTER No. 97
March 1979
The Rector*s Le tt er
My dear Friends, r •' :
Easter; Sunday is oh the 15th of April. This is the Feast of the
Resurrection of Christ, being the greatest and oldest feast of the Christian
Church*;;Its importance is emphasised "by the Wng preparation of Lent and
Pas si orb-tide 5 and-by the special ceremonies of Holy Week, In the ancient.
Church those to "be baptised, after watching all night, were baptised early
on Easter Day and received Holy Communion, The custom of the whole Church,
that is every member of th6 Church, receiving Communion on Easter Day is
still held as an essential for all Christians. The Prayer Book rubric says -
"Every confirmed member of the Church shall communicate at the least three
times in the year, of which Easter is to be one".,
I therefore invite you all to make a note in your diary as soon as you
receive this magazine of the times of Holy Communion on Easter Day, and make
every effort to attend one of them. There are three celebrations of :Holy
Communion on Easter Day: .
At All Saints', Coleshill, at 9°30 a.m.
At the Parish Church, St. Mary's, at 8 a.m. .........
and At 11,30 a»m. following Matins.
Please join us as we kneel to meet our Lord, The following poem seems
very relevant:
I thought of you as far away
Beyond the bounds^of;time and space,
Yet here on earth you loved and died:
Men touched your robe, men saw your face.
I thought of you as long ago, : .
Of Roman greeet-and -priestly pride ' " ' ': '"'.
The victim sacrificed, yet now
I feel you standing, at my.side. ^ ,. , .. . . .. ;.
I tUougtit" of you as dead and dim,
A wraith from which air life had fled,
rln dreary sermon, sugary hymn -; : ;
An empty phantom buried. .
Yet in the body and the blood
I eat the bread, I drink the wine,
My heart, your heart, my tongue, your tongue,
Your life in me, your body mine.
Yours sincerely,
Allan Campbell

IN MEMORI&JI ' .':,. , '
We greatly regret to announce the death of the following;
JJjjJJjJLJjarjgis was born in 1892 at Stock Place, Coleshillo After living there
for several years her parents moved to Marlin Villa where she lived for about
40 years. Owing to ill health she left the village in 1970 and went to live
with her sister at Abingdon. On the 20th December A97J3 she passed away, the
funeral being at All Saints' Church where she always attended when living at
Coleshill.
Leonard Alfred Williajn jledderley,. on 21st Decembei^ .1978.. He lived in Coleshill
for over 25 years and leaves a widow, a son and a daughter.
Mr. Arthur ,Thorne, aged 81 years, died on 4th January 1979 at Potters Meadow,
the home of his daughter Mrs. Margaret Weedon* The funeral service was held
at All Saints' Church on 12th January, followed by cremation. During the few
years Mr. Thorne lived in Coleshill he helped the Village Hall Committee in
many ways and he was also the Honorary Treasurer of the Coleshill Club»
: It is with great sadness one has to record the death on _1J.th January 1979
of Beryl Adams. Beryl was born and brought up in India and came to this country
after the war. She moved to Red;Cottage during 1953 and later to Longfield.
During^her life in Coleshill she took an active part, in her own quiet way, L
in numerous village interests where she could be called upon to assist in many
of the behind scene activities, not the least of which was the making of •.•-.•••,
several, excellent kneelers for the Church. She was an .energetic, member of ,the
Amershaci Branch of the W.R.V.S. of which She was the Cbleshill Women's Institute
representative. She will be sadly missed by many, and leaves a husband, son
and daughter.
Many Coleshill people,will have been grieved to hear of.the untimely death
of jjev Sladden on 12th January 1979. Her gentle presence will be sadly missed
by her many friends at the W.I., where she willingly gave a helping hand in all
their activities. It can be truly said of her "It is not life that matters, but
the courage one brings to it". She leaves a husband, son and daughter.
Mrs. Mary Hannah Novello Turyter, aged 96 years, died at Amersham Hospital
on _17th_ January 1979. She was the mother of Mrs» Morley of Coleshill Lodge,
Coleshillo
On 29th January 1979 John Arthur Ralph jfelps died suddenly at his home. ./
He was born on 17.12.22 in Coleshill Cottage (now White Roses). He will be
remembered by his contemporaries in Coleshill for his high spirits as a schoolboy
and when on leave from the R8A. F. during the war. He served in Coastal Command
and later was a Captain with B.E.Ao The funeral took place at All Saints*.
We give thanks for the life of "Mrs... Ma- Bates, who died on 6th February 1979»
Mrs, Bates, born in Old Amersham, came to live' in CrosspathJCottages aged six '
weeks. Her father was a Lay Preacher and as a girl she used to go with him
when he preached. She loved children, teaching for Eiany:years in Sunday School
and she also provided music in the Chapel. She took every opportunity to be
present, at school concerts and Guide and Brownie events. One of my last
memories of her was when the Magpie children sang carols outside Thornbury
Cottage when with face alight she joined in the singing. Flowers were anot'her
great love in Mrs. Bates* life; in some respects this was reflected by the
lovely flowers at her funeral. Her grave was covered with them, and at the
request of Mr;.- Bates, the rest filled the Church where she worshipped after
the closure^'of the 'Chapel at Coleshill. Mr. and Mrs. Bates celebrated their
Golden Wedding In January 1973^, having lived in Thornbury Cottage since their
marriage. -•.'••..:<• ••' ' • • - ' . . . . . : . . : . . . . • v •
Mr> W» Bolton, a particularly devoted and loved father and grandfather,
died on February 8th 1979. Mr. Bolton came to live in Crosspath Cottages a
few years ago with his son, Mr. Archie Bolton, from Chalfont St. CEles.
Mr. Bolton was a builder, a keen gardener and had a great interest in nature.
During his last illness, his bird table, which he could see from his chair
was a great joy to him.
It was with very great sorrow that the village heard of the death of
.Mrs«. Joan Ifcyden on 18th February .197,9.° Joan, the daughter of Leonard and
Zillah Aldridge, was born in Bottle Cottages in 1925« As a child she attended

Church and .was a most active'member of the ,choir and the Church Committee, on
which-she 'served for many1'years <, She was also a member of the Amershaia & Chesham
'BoiS'Oh'oral Society '-wfii'Ch she greatly enjoyed as'well as: .giving pleasure, to

If like me you have always associated robins with Christmas,: and weddings with
Easter you wotild hf,ve been wrong in December 1978 when- the- Coleshill Village
Drama Group presented their annual production "Wedding of the,:Year" by. Norman
Rabbins - alright there* B another FbJ, . '-'.; .. . . . ... . :•:
The play took place in the living room of the home of the Murchinson!s which
was well arrarged, . cons^ractcd ar^ managed jointly "by Helen Hitchen and
Richard Farmero Ethel KurcjoirsscuRita Rann ) sat the scene and standard for the
whole production from the moment the curtains opened but more and even better
tilings were to corns as the. st.cry u"fold_ecU,. -
Real acting ability was portrayed by Ann Chenevix-Trench playing Peggy Ramskill,
whose daughter could and would win any contest anywhere and at any time when it
cajne to weddings an! so the somewhat- distasteful character was far removed from
the nature of the real pferccn,may"be due too to the work applied to the
production "by the diractor, Daphne Farmero
It soon'became clear.that Walter Thornton (Hugh Jones), Ethel;Murchinson*s '
neighbour, spent rar.ch of his time with Ethel not only because he liked her
coffee or was it her tea or was it 'both or was it because he 'knew something1 of
what was going on in his scii:s mind? Irani; IJdwards? (Jp^hri Horsburgh-Porter)
masterly performance as Ethel *s .brother- added much-to the-'delight now being
shared by all and not least '"by Alison Mur chins onLindsey Haubner Ethel's
daughter, who played a difficult role with feeling'and- sincerity so much so
that I found mysel:" impaii^r.t!-- awaiting the outcome of her efforts to achieve
her mother?s wishes that h^r forthcoming wedding would be the "Wedding of the
year';o She certc-inly uevrrr- ;;.%vc away t.ho secret if indeed she knew what the
future had in storo for her n.r.d. hew little all her efforts would matter when
•'Mr Right'' came aJ.cr.go
D£ra^P_ost and S^.^via Fair£hild as Alison^S aunts, Honor!a and Matilda Murchinson,
were indeed woiJ cast and as proverb after proverb and situation after situation
developed they helped grcrvL"-/ to introduce into the storjr those little episodes whi
go to make a great little p";s,y greater'and more entertaining,
Melvyn Thornton (^^ic^ii^-^^) '--.tZie uoy next door - tried so hard to get it
right - not his irords, no-fhif? acting, but the role in which he had been cast,
thereby producing ms.vr- Iz-igis and. o:-:citing moments! Harry Elphinstone (uStrepher
Kitchen) turi.";.ci c-uJ to 1?^ Ali^-oii* s lover - Mr. Right - and as he brought
touching moments to tJio cuoivD time and again one thought this iaust surely "put
paid" to the flamboy;?1 :t !?.op.-.;> oxprecsed by Peggy Ramskillt who never missed an
opportunity to 'fc~> ej/.erio:. r-.-'d o:?.e tro! As so often happens both on the stage
and off - it is dome elder:ly Aur.-[, lihe tho character portrayed by Patsy; Wri^ght •
jJarren as Ethel Murchir,ini »B agsd Anr.it Priscilla who seemed, maybe because of
her experience in life- to knew what it takes to comfort f;»nd be comforted and
at the same tJ.me consols ard charrcise«>.
All in all a happy play presented by a happy cast whose presence would have been
nothing without Pet Emblcw and P^Q^GoWj who put so much work into the costumes
and not forgetting the tacking stitchoc in a certain pair of slacks!
Those who at,,Christmas-. '978, and annually since 1?73. saw the productions have
come to look, forward, to and -x-g3r?v.y await the Drama Croup's show and will wish
thanks to be recorded not only to those mentioned above,, but also to Hugh Jpnes

Our programme for;the Christmas holidays was rather marred by th<2 weather.
However, we were able to.,siag car.o-ls and deliver Idgs and scones to some of the
older residents of the village a few days before Christmas. A snowstbrm during
the afternoon made it even more seasonal!
We had a "Bangers and beans" supper for the younger children which was well
attended. We had to abandon the disco for the older .children due to the ghastly
conditions,, Our Christingls Service, which was planned for the "last Sunday of
the'-year, also stiffered the same fate. However a party of 62 of us were: able
to get to the Ice Show at Wembley and we all had a very enjoyable evening.
We had; a-Valentine's Party in the.Village Hall for the older children. ¥e;had
anticipated about 30 people, but word seemed to have got around and we ended1up
with 64 people from neighbouring places! Many thanks to Hugh Prothero for; ::
organising all the music. . . , , ; ;. , •. :" . :
We decided it was time, for the Mums to get together - so we had a coffee
morning for "Mothers and Any Others" at Rosemary Valentine's house, which was
enjoyed by the 30 people who came along. ..: ,:V. ...'..--.;..,.

THE CPIJJSHILL CLUE
The Coleshill Club had a busy autumn. Our A.G.M. was in September and after
the business part was over, Mrs. Wege gave an interesting and helpful talk about
the work of the Red Gross past and present* In October we held a "Bring & Buy"
in aid of the Village Hall Repair Fund. We invited the Club at Winchmore Hill
for the afternoon and about 20 of their members came. Many of these found old
friends amongst us and great fun was had swapping stories of years ago!' In
November Mr. and Mrs* Everard visited us again, this time giving a talk on Italy
illustrated with beautiful slides, •
Our Christmas party was on December 20th. Penny Weedon played and sang lovely
carols in some of which we joined, afterwards sitting down to a sumptuous tea*
MrSo Stevens had once again baked us one of her Christinas cakes which quickly
disappeared, whilst a diminutive Father Christmas distributed small gifts to
a.11 the members:o Afterwards there' was a free Raffle when nearly everyone seemed
to be lucky, but when it was time to go home lire all walked out into a snow-storm -
the start, of the winter!: ••;.
This'was: the last time that Mr, Thorne was with us. On January 4th he passed
away and it still seems hard to believe. As one of our members and especially
when he took on the post of Treasurer, he devoted his time and energy to the
Club and we were fortunate indeed to have our finances in such capable hands.
As time went on he grew more frail, but up to the end he insisted on carrying
out his duties with his daughter's assistance, and we all join in offering her
and- the Weedon family'our love and sympathy in their loss,
Sadly we must announce two more deaths among our members. Mrs. Bates, known
and loved by all, who died in hospital on February 6th« Our deep sympathy
goes to Mr. Bates and the whole family. And Miss Banyard of Rushymead, our
oldest member aged 99 years. We shall miss her also greatly.
January was another very interesting afternoon with an illustrated talk on a
journey through India by Mr. and Mrs, Maynard - the warm colours of the slides
helping us to forget the cold outside! February, Mr, Jim Tanner, who works
for the High Wycombe Pensioners Association, talked to us about his work and
how the association may be able to give advice or help if needed to other Clubs
such as ours with any problems which might arise,
We welcome Mrs. Tilson of Hill Meadow who has become our new Secretary, thus
enabling Mrs. Weedon to continue in her father:s place as Treasurer,
RED .GROSS jjEEK
For over 100 years children have been a special concern to the Red Cross, In this
International Year of the Child, as the world*s attention is drawn to the needs of
children, Red Cross work among the young continues. Whether Red Cross volunteers
are caring for war orphans in Rhodesias homeless children in flood stricken India
or handicapped children right here in Buckinghamshire, the same care and concern
is always shown. During Red Cross Week (May 6th - 12th) we will be making an allout
effort to raise the funds we need to continue our work not only among children,
but also among the sick and handicapped of all ages. We are desperately short of
collectors for Red Cross week. May I appeal to you to spare us an hour or two for
this vital task?
