PASTORAL LETTER
My Dear Friends, n
There is nothing in the world quite like an English Spring. I am thankful that
in Britain, Easter always comes in the Spring so it is natural, and' surely
providential that we should see in this re-awakening of nature to life all round
us, a sort of parable of the resurrection.
Yet the truth itself is far greater than these reflections of it. For in
nature the new life is too short lived and fades again almost as quickly as it
blossoms. That is why nature in all the freshness of her beauty still cannot
adequately tell of Him whose day is followed by no night, wfcose Spring will never
have to ensure another winter. For as the Epistle to the-Romans tells us - ' "
(Chapter 6, Verse 9) |:Christ being raised from the dead, dieth no more: death
has no more domination over Him".
Ills triumph over death is final and complete and it can never be reversed.
'•'I am He that liveth and ?;as dead" he says to us "and behold I am dive for
overbore". (Revelation Chapter 1, Verse 18),
So.the gospel we'preach is the gospel of the resurrection and if the resurrection
had never Happened, there would be nothing to preach.
It is that certainty that Christ had risen from the dead which transformed
the disciples so dramatically from a group of frightened disillusioned mourners
tc nan of such courage and conviction that they turned the world upside down.
The disappointment of ^ood Friday had been changed into a radiant unconquerable
hope which nothing could uuderi.'ine, and we share that hope.
Do you?
If not, why not?
Yours sincerely,
Allan Campbell
. Rector.

MICHAEL ELLIOTT
I found myself wondering how Michael was finding his life in New Zealand, and how
he was enjoying the challenge of his new work. And then I began to wonder, in
a different sense of the word, at the way he had touched the lives of so many of
us in the short time he had been here.
How can it be that someene who holds such strong views can be respected and loved
as a friend by so many of. us, .some of us having very different feelings? I think
the secret lay in his own genuine warmth towards us - nothing wishy washy but
something.which enabled us to accept him as. he was, just as he clearly did the
•same~"for us. To have known him on his own terms is a privilege in which we have
all shared, and in sharing it, have possibly become closer to one another.
7ire miss him. ... • . .

FAREWELL TO MICHAEL ELLIOTT
Just before Michael Elliott left Coleshill to take up his new job in New Zealand
last December, a farewell party was held in the school.
About 60 people attended, to say goodbye to him and wish him Godspeed. He was
presented with a briefcase - which he wanted for his travels around the Pacific
Islands - and a cheque. At the same time tribute was paid to all he had achieved
in the Village during the short time we had been privileged to have him with us.
It was a cheerful and informal party - just the sort of occasion he enjoyed - yet
tinged with sadness too. .

HEWS FROM MAGILA
Did any of you see the Television Programme on "Horizon" a short time ago?
The documentary film was made at Magila and concentrated on health work in
neighbouring villages, done by nurses from the hospital. There are now 18
clinics for which the hospital is responsible and the mobile team sees about
6,000 children a month, their aim being to immunise all children under 5 years
of age, and at the same time to give health education to as many families as
possible.
Sister Edith Irancis sends special thanks for our long standing interest in the
work - and for the donations, lovely blankets and other gifts sent from
Coleshill. Our little Hari has now started nursery school and loves it. His
family never come to see him so next year a good foster home will have to. be
found for him as he will then be five years old.

a.I.p.
Since the last issue of the Newsletter, it is sad to advise that the Village
has lost "by death the following who, among others, contributed so much to
the welfare of the community.
Violet Dodds. On the 13th January, a member of the congregation and perhaps
better known as the wife of George Dodds, an Arnhem veteran.
Alice Daisy Crighton. Aged 88, who died peacefully in Amersham Hospital on
February 1st, and had a very long association v/ith the Village. She was a
founder member of the ¥.1. and up to a few years ago, she took a lively
interest in its activities.
Margaret ("Kit") Asher was taken away on the 2nd February in the middle of
a very active life. She could always be relied upon to respond to appeals
to help other people and was assistant Hon. Secretary to the Church Committee.
F.W. Saunders. Died on the 16th February. After serving in the Navy, he
was well known as the gardener at Rushymeade.
James ("Jim") Grayer. Died on the 2nd March. Correct in everything he did,
he was a man to look up to. He would never take office on any local
committee but was alsrays ready to help in connection with finance at the
Church Fete, the Village Hall jumble sale, etc.
'Sincere sympathy is extended to those who have been left behind.
WOMEN'S WORLD DAY OF PRAYER
The Women's World Day of Prayer was held as usual on the first Friday in March.
The speaker, Sister Marie Bernard of the Holy Cross Convent, Chalfont St. Peter,
gave an inspiring address on this year's theme "Education Through Living".
The collection was £8,85.. •- .--.-..-..
Next year's World Day of Prayer will be held on the 4th March, 1977-

JOAN DRYDEN
Joan Dryden comes of a family which has taken a part in the life of local
communities for many generations - in fact there were Aldridges hereabouts
in the thirteenth century.
So it was very fitting that she should have served Coleshill as the Hon.
Secretary of the Church Committee, which she served with distinction for many
years from 1961 until she handed over to Nigel Nicholls, who carried on as
Pro-Warden and Hon. Secretary until 1973. Then Joan was pressed to resume
office and. for another three years she occupied the post with her usual self '
effacing efficiency.
Now ill health has obliged her to give up this work but happily we do not
have to say goodbye to her on the Committee. We all extend our warm thanks
to her and best wishes to her successor, Miss McLean. .

CHURCH COMMITTEE . . ' . . . . - . . . - • • •

Miss Penny Weedon.
The following are still members of the Committee? Mr. N.N. Nicholls and

donors in Coleshill. Also MYSTERY PARCELS at 25p per parcel.
We ask for your help in making this morning a success. A gift or gifts for

COLESHILL PARISH COUNCIL - ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
The Parish Council met on 22nd March, 1976, for its Annual General Meeting,
at which members of the Public are entitled to put their views on Village matters.
The evening was very cold and only one brave person attended.
The Chairman gave his report on the past 12 months and said that the Parish
Council had managed to persuade the Thames Water Authority to use smaller "HYDIG"
lorries on their journeys through the Village.
There had been discussions and attempts to get a reasonable and reliable Bus
service without much success, but it must be appreciated that as there are so
few passengers it is not economical for London Country Buses to run a more
frequent service.
Concern had been expressed at the prospect of the Fluoridation of the Water
supply, and this matter was taken up with the Public Health Department who said
that fluoride is not being put into the water at present, and there was no
intention to put any in in the near future.
Conservation Area. Another attempt was made to make Coleshill a Conservation
area, but the County had said that the Village had no groups of buildings worthy
of conservation.
The Parish Council had supported the Chiltern District Council in their
opposition to the establishment of a stall to sell food and beverages at the
junction of Bottrells Lane with the Amersham-Beaconsfield Road. It seemed that
this, if allowed, could create a dangerous precedent.
Parish Boundary. After a meeting with the Amersham Town Council, it was decided
to recommend that the houses from Brickwick to the Water Tower be transferred from
Amersham to Coleshill Parish. There had been no objections to this suggestion.
Coleshill Common. The Council was advised that the thickness of the undergrowth
on the Common from barracks Hill to the back of the Old Parsonage constituted
a fire risk. This had been dealt with and a suitable fire break has been formed.
Diversion of Footpath No 1 at Old Rafters, Magpies Lane. No objections had been
received regarding this diversion, which was asked for because of a proposed
extension to the house, and the Diversion Order was duly made.
Last year Coleshill won the Cup Winners Cup in the Tidy Village Competition.
Every one will have seen the sign standing by the Pond, and it is hoped that
Villagers will do all they can to see that it remains in that position, as it
is a costly exercise to transport this sign around the countryside.
Village Centre Sign. The Parish Council had informed the Highways Authority that
this was considered by the Council to be a waste of public money, but the
County had written to say that it had been put in place for the convenience of
people who were not familiar with the Village.
The Parish Council had given a donation of £25 towards the cost of lopping some
of the trees in the Churchyard. It was felt that it was in the interests of.the
Village to help keep the Churchyard in good order.
Gipsies. The Council had kept up its pressure on the usual bodies such as the
Police and the County.Council to move on these itinerants. Aid had also been
sought from the District Council to clear up the litter from these encampments.
Planning Applications. The, Council had kept a close eye on all applications, but
it is not totally obstructive as far as these requests for permission to build
-5- /or...
or extend are concerned. T.'e do., try. to ensure that ..new buildings are in keeping
with other buildings in the Village. Coleshill is on the whole a. very pleasant
village in which people enjoy living.
The Parish Council is willing to'help anybody if it can, and will take up a
cause on behalf of villagers providing the whole Council agrees . For instance ,f
the Council had agreed to support the efforts of the new Parents and Friends
Group attached to Coleshill School, and to give assistance if required.
After a short discussion the Chairman thanked the member of the public for her
attendance and declared the Annual General Meeting closed.

THE NOBLE SPANIARD
Our readers, who like me believe that nothing succeeds like success, will
understand why I use this as appropriate to the presentation of 'The Noble
Spaniard' 'by the Coleshill Village Drama Group on 5th and 6th December last.
Undoubtedly this was their most successful production and portends, well for
their future.
Any product of the pen of Somerset Maughan conjures up anticipation of
enjoyable entertainment, the more so it seems when it is adapted from the
French of Grenet-Dancourt.
The complications that developed as Acts I and II revealed the story \,cre
such that one found oneself wondering hov: it would be possible for it to all
unwind and so impatiently await Act III.
Daphne Farmer (Lady Proudfoot) and her stage husband John Horsbrugh-Porter
(Mr. Justice Proudfoot) were so steeped in their roles that they were still
absorbed when taking three curtain calls on the first night.
Stephen Kitchen (The Duke of Hermanos, etc. etc.)s like Ann Chenevix Trench
(Lucy) and her sister Rita Rann (Marion Nairne) could not have been better
cast, which was indeed applicable to the whole cast, especially Elizabeth Harve;
the maid (Mary) so brilliantly portrayed, Henry Maynard (Captain Chalford) and
not forgetting Hugh Jones (Count de Moret) and Dora Post (Countess de Moret)
without whom the complications of the story would not have been possible.
The set was worthy of any stage and thanks must go to Richard Farmer and
Bertha James for the great amount of work and thought that went into its
creation, but it was the ability of the Director, Patsy Tvright-'/varren that
made the fine scenery come to life.
Thanks are due too to Pat Einblow and Joy Chalk who must have worked very hard
on the wardrobe, the costumes and scenery being brilliantly illuminated by
Hugh Jones.
Diana Maynard was surely pleased to be a prompter so underworked'.

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
Isn't it quiet now that the ACAC have stopped campaigning? A false alarm'.
These and similar criticisms were levelled at the Amersham & Chesham Aircraft
Campaign (ACAC) following the introduction of the new westerly flight path
over Coleshill, Amersham and Chesham nearly a year ago. Paradoxically,, the. fact
that these criticisms v;ere made at all is surely clear evidence that the
campaign did meet with some success. Aircraft noise has been far less than
the levels originally planned for this area by the Civil Aviation Authority
(C.A.A.) before ACAC was launched.
_7~
The reduction in noise is the result of route and operational changes agreed with
C.A.A.
They ares-
1. The dispersal of planes, formerly north of Burnham and latterly north of
Tylers Green to spread the "misery" more fairly throughout the Chiltern District
area? with the result that only 40> instead of more than 100 planes are overflying
Amersham and Chesham - still the official route.
2. An instruction to pilots not to climb, "but only to cruise over A:nersham
when flying below 6,000 feet.
3. The raising of the minimum height from 6,000 to 7>000 feet of the Heathrow
arrival stack
and following pressure from Beaconsfield residents through their M0P.
4. The fine tuning of the route to avoid that town which has also benefited
ColesMll - now on the southern fringe of the official route.
Of course ACAC was vociferous - no pressure group seeking to stir up public
interest and bring pressure to bear upon authority ever succeeded by campaigning
in whispers.
However the campaign is now dormant, so what does the future hold?
Recently the Government issued a consultation document on Airport Strategy for
Great Britain. This paper offers little joy for anyone living near an airport
in S.E. England. Dramatic increases in passenger throughput are planned for both
Heathrow and Luto-n, the traffic from which adversely affects the "quality of life"
in this Village.
In particular the increase in Luton traffic will conflict with the present
policy of dispersal of Heathrow aircraft and result in the concentration of
traffic along the official route overflying Amersham and Chesham. If this
happens, aircraft noise over ColesMll will be greatly increased and our peaceful
village life will be threatened again.
Clearly we must remain vigilant and keep in touch with airport developments.
Consequently, your Residents' Association are represented on the Aircraft Committee
of.the Amersham Residents' Association and this body will work closely with the
Chiltern District Council and other local interests to study-the new consultation
document and make their views known to the Government.
Peter Williams.
CHRISTMAS CARDS
As a result of the suggestion that last year residents should not send out
Christmas Cards locally, fees and donations amounting to £1?«75 were sent to the
Hon Treasurer, Church Committee for Church expenses.
HORTICULTURAL SOCIAL EVENING
An interesting: and instructive evening was held at the Village Hall on March 5"th.
At 7-30 people began to arrive, and received a warm welcome from the committee,
and a glass of wine. At 8 o'clock, Mr. Ewart Smith} the Chairman of the Society,
welcomed a large audience and gave the order of the proceedings.
Mr. Chenevix-Trench called his talk "The fields and farms of Coleshill" and he
traced their development from A.I). 600, showing from his map how the whole of
the area was then covered "by trees. Settlers from Tring came and gradually
cleared much of the woodland for the, grazing of cattle. Coleshill, in those days,
was called "Coleshill Green" and the pond area "Clere Mere". Among other
interesting items, he told us that some of the oldest structure is to be found
in the "Fleur-de-Lys"; Stock Place was once the Manor House, Thomas Ellwood,
the Quaker, lived at Ongar Hill Farm; and also of the development «f many of
our now well-known farms.
The next item brought us nearer' our own day and age. Mrs. Darvill gave us a
charming picture of life in the village about 50 years ago as experienced by
her sister, Mrs. Edwards and herself, who, incidentally, had written this
article for the W.I. "Pattern of Hundreds". She told us of the lack of traffic,
the children's games played in the road - skipping, hoop bowling and marbles* •
She told of the flowers they picked in the hedges, the fruit and wood gathering,
and the harvest. She spoke of the Wheelwright, and the Blacksmith, milk
delivered in churns and many more interesting things. Her talk was greatly
appreciated.
i
Mrs. Williams had brought a collection of stones, some dug from local gardens,
which she had painted, guided by their shape and lines, and made into attractive
ornaments. She gave a short talk on her hobby.
Mr. Murray Rann, an enthusiastic collector, had a large number of specimens on
show in the hall - tiles from the old potteries at Perm, old clay pipes,
kitchen pottery, bottles, wine glasses, iron articles and a dagger from the
Civil War days. These he showed on a screen, with explanations and comments.
In the interval coffee and cakes were enjoyed, which gave a little time for
chatting to friends.
This was quite a new venture from the Horticultural Society and the committee
are to be congratulated on their initiative and hard work. About 100 people
attended and the Society wish to thank them for their support.
D.P.
SCHOOL MIST DRIVE
The annual Whist Drive held in the School on Thursday, 25th March, was a joyful
success. More than 40 people enjoyed a hilarious evening and 25 went home . ....
with prizes. A net profit of £24-48 was realized, part of which will be used
for the purchase of a new tropical fish tank.

COLESHILL CLUB
This winter we decided to hold a New Years' Party instead of one before Christmas.
This does not mean that our December meeting was'not festive - quite the opposite,
with the delightful entertainment provided by Jack Emblow and his friends.
Patricia Whitmore very kindly came .along with them and she sang several solos and
led the audience in community singing. It was a really happy afternoon.
In January, we invited the Winchmore Thursday Club to share our Hew Year Party.
We were amazed and delighted to find that ninety-two were sitting down to tea,
but such is the generosity of our many supporters that there was more than enough
party food to meet our requirements. It was a great pleasure once again to welcome
friends and relations from our neighbouring village.
Mr Martin' made a second visit to the Club in February, when he gave an. illustrated
talk on places of interest in this country.
We welcomed Mr T Line as a new committee member - he has agreed to act as Outings
Secretary and we appreciate his help.

COLESHILL FIRST SCHOOL PARENTS' AKD FRIENDS' GROUP
In the autumn of 1975? there were rumours that First Schools in Buckinghamshire
with an enrolment of under 50, (this has now been fixed at 40), might have to be
closed on economic grounds.
Coleshill with an enrolment of 24 would come in this group and parents of the present
pupils called a meeting, to which-managers were invited, to discuss'the situation.
At this meeting, the Coleshill First School Parents' and Friends' Group was formed -
with the one object of ensuring the future existence of the School. Mr James M Dening
was elected Chairman, Mrs M Richings Secretary and Mr A Richardson Treasurer.
The first General Meeting of the Group was held on 23rd February to report on . :
activities since December and to seek further direction and ideas.
Obviously there had been great activity and much had been accomplished. The Group
now had a clearer picture of the Education Authority's- policy and methods; the
Authority in their turn had acknowledged Coleshill1s efforts and desires for the
future of the School; many letters had been written with encouraging replies;
a leaflet, with photographs about the School had been printed to be distributed
as widely as possible; money-raising had no\v to be considered and a Coffee morning
with a cake stall will be held in the School on Saturday 3rd April.
The Group needs and hopes for every support in their efforts to ensure that this
good School at Coleshill does survive.
