ORLEY ews

1937, the present one being a memorial to Mr Demetriadi,

killed while riding in India.

The well-kept churchyard is well worth a visit too – the

Woodhouse mausoleum being a listed monument, and some

elaborate graves in evidence from another local family, the

Lascelles. Many of the other graves are old, and need the

work of a team to keep them in good order, as family

members are no longer around to do this.

A treat for your reporter was a chance to climb the (very steep

and narrow) stairs for the tower. Well worth the effort though,

with a view that stretches some 15 or more miles. The views,

as you can see here, are beautiful.

On the way up, you pass the superb clock by Litherland and

Davies of Liverpool (1848). This is now automatically

wound, though from its installation until 2006, it was wound

twice each week by hand – no small feat given the weights

This is the group of Norley citizens who we have to thank for

looking after St John the Evangelist Church in Norley, one of

our most famous landmarks. We met them on the day they

were hard at work cutting grass, trimming hedges and doing

other crucial maintenance work. They do much else besides,

turning their hand on occasion to everything from minor

electrical work and plumbing, to looking after the clock and

the bell.

The team consists of Frank and Audrey Smith, Jack Thomas

and Chris Burrows. Apart from Chris who is the youngest

and newest of the team, all have been working on the church

for many years.

The group makes up the fabric committee, and usually meets

for a time each Tuesday morning or Friday afternoon, to

maintain the church. From time to time there is more to do –

like the annual “spring clean “ (not always in spring!), and if

you would like to help at any time, please do get in touch at

the usual address ([email protected]), and we will

put you I touch with the team.

St John the Evangelist Church Norley is a fine building,

designed by John Loughborough Pearson, who also designed

Crowton Church – oh, and Truro Cathedral. The style is

based on 13th century design principles, the fashion in 1878,

when it was built. The church replaces an earlier one, built in

1833.

There are lots of notable features of the church - some fine

stained glass in the East Window donated by grateful

villagers (with a large contribution from the Pilkington family

of Norley Bank) at the end of the Great War, as a memorial to

the dead. The window cost the princely sum of £460, and was

copied from Chester Cathedral’s East Window. Norley’s war

memorial plaque is in the Church

During an air raid in November 1940, the North Windows

were destroyed by an enemy land mine that landed 200 yards

from the church. Replacement took place after the war.

There is some fine oak work to the screens and reredos, from

the 1920’s and 1930’s respectively. The altar was replaced in

involved.

You also pass the impressive bell by Turton and Co, which –

at 1833 - actually slightly predates the church.

There is a tradition in the village, which will continue this

year, of allowing children leaving Norley School to go up the

tower. Many pupils from earlier times have carved their

names on part of the lead roof, and this year;’s leavers will no

doubt do the same.

For many people visiting Norley the church is their first

glimpse of the village - and the “Cathedral in the Forest” is

quite some asset. As always, funds are needed to maintain

the building (though of course the Team work for free!), and

if you would like to donate you can do so – either by visiting

the church, or again we can put you in touch through the

address above.

When was the last time you visited the church? Whatever

one’s religious views it is a beautiful spot, and one to be

treasured.

Do readers have any special recollections of the Church? If

so, let us know so we can share them with other readers.

Jon

Hilary Soldiers On. Please see the following

from villager Hilary Wilson.

She and her husband

Andrew built a scarecrow,

also called Hilary (please

do keep up) for the Jubilee.

She was a walker, and was

outside the Tigers Head.

She had a hard life, as the

first scarecrow out there.

Not least, she suffered an

assassination attempt from

some passing witless

wonders who we can only

hope don't live in Norley.

Having been lovingly

reassembled she kept her

place until after the Jubilee

when Hilary (Wilson, please

do keep up) and Andrew

took her down, to face a sad

end at the tip (Hilary the scarecrow that is). Hilary (Wilson,

I won't tell you again!) takes up the story from there;

Hi,

Before I checked today's e-mails, Andrew and I took it upon

ourselves to carry Hilary off to her final resting place. It

was with heavy hearts that we loaded her into the 'van on

top of bags of garden rubbish - very sad and undignified,

I'm afraid.

Once in Frodsham, I went off to the dentist and left Andrew

to perform the last rites. At the skip (sorry, sepulchre), the

supervisor took an immediate fancy to Hilary, saying that

Page 3: Norley News July/ August 2012

Norley News—July & August 2012 3

give their views on the preferred location, type and number of

properties.

As a first step in the consultation, an Open Morning was held

at the Village Hall on 7 July, and was attended by

approximately 20 villagers. The consultation will continue

throughout the summer, and the Parish Council will have a

stall at the Norley Garden Show in September to provide

further information and continue to gather views.

Meanwhile, you can view the preliminary options and register

your opinion online at www.norley.org/parish-council, or

contact Meg Rosney, Clerk to Norley Parish Council, for

information to be sent in the post (01928 739772).

The purpose of providing affordable homes is to ensure that

local people can continue live in Norley and contribute to the

community.

Mary Greenacre, Norley Parish Council

she would be as much use to him as his usual assistant and he

stood her to one side for later attention. Andrew said she

looked happy with her new surroundings, as she had rather

tired of peering into Ann's bedroom window every day.

However, Andrew and the skipman were then accosted by

another lady who insisted on whisking Hilary off to Kingsley

where... wait for it... she is to undergo a sex change and

become a football referee! Her next appearance will be at

Kingsley Carnival the weekend after next and she should

appear somewhere near the doctors' surgery at Brookside. All

fans note!

Hilary was last seen en route to Kingsley stuffed into the back

of a rather small Fiat 500 with her legs projecting out of the

back and her new keeper wondering what her husband would

say when they appeared back home.

What a wonderful ending and I'm so sorry that Andrew hadn't

a camera with him to record the happy events

Tearfully yours, Hilary I

PS Am now thinking that our cricketer should move to

Kinglsey, especially since Norley has had the best of him.

Local Houses for Local People Affordable Housing in Norley

Norley Parish Council, in partnership with Cheshire West &

Chester local authority, have identified a need for some

affordable homes within Norley via a survey conducted in

autumn last year.

Working with The Plus Dane Group (Housing Association), a

number of potential sites for the houses has been identified.

To ensure that we meet the needs of local people, we are

holding a public consultation to ask all Norley residents to

Norley News and the Consultation on Affordable Housing

We know that there will be a range of views on this

important topic that must be heard. We will provide a

platform for these from September issue onwards - please

send to the usual address. You must provide your name and

address as usual, but CAN ask for this not to be

published. We will keep the channel to the Parish Council

open too, so you can be updated on what is happening, and

so your questions can be answered.

To start the debate we have received the following letter:

Dear Sirs

After visiting the open morning on the 7th July and the

subsequent announcement that planning permission had

been granted for 6 affordable houses on the haulage yard on

High Street, I think the Parish Council should urgently

review the affordable housing requirement and their

partnership with the Plus Dane Group.

I also believe the ‘Register for Approved Sites’ needs to be

withdrawn as it is not now relevant and does not indicate

the 9 sites which were put through the Plus Dane Group’

Sequential Test ‘

I am also confused as when a need for 11 houses was

identified the outline plans on the

‘Register for Approved sites’ indicated 16 & 17

respectively, were these to remain empty, or was a more

devious plan afoot?

From the open morning it was more than obvious that there

were many unanswered questions concerning the way

things have been handled. I think it would also be very

useful if someone could detail in ‘Plain English’ what is the

true meaning of ‘Affordable Housing’ and how rents etc are

determined. I am led to believe that the rent on a house in

Norley could amount to £540 per month.

What Shall We Do With Our

Phone Box? The phone box near the Tigers Head is now out of

commission, with the equipment removed. It also now

belongs to the village. At some stage we will need to ensure

it is painted and looking good - but there is another question

- what shall we do with it?

Some villages have used theirs as a lending library - we

might also consider it as a swap shop for small items, or for

selling things - perhaps for charity - with an honesty box.

‘knock down’ price I would be very interested to hear from

you. Please ensure you have appropriate and adequate

security measures in place for all your property, especially

when they contain items of value.

Two other thefts of pedal cycles have occurred overnight

from outbuildings in the Frodsham area during early June,

one from Queensway and one from Bradley Lane.

Outbuildings are particularly vulnerable – make sure that

locks and hinges are adequate to protect the contents.

The following crime highlights the potential for any metal

to be stolen at any location at any time and acts as a

reminder to us all. At approximately 17:00 hours Thursday

21st June it was reported that metal was stolen from a house

in Mountain View, Helsby. The metal originated from a

trampoline that had been dismantled in the front garden of

the property. A male and young child who were the

occupants of the vehicle described as an open back white

van were seen to steal the property. Any further sightings

around the time would be appreciated.

children!

Class 3 also had a wonderful day out with other schools in the

locality at Chester University. This provoked thinking on

what the children wanted to aspire to in later life, considering

financial planning, engaging in drama activities and

culminated in a mini-graduation in the Chapel wearing

graduation robes and home made mortar boards!

Thanks to the PTFA for their support with a wide range of

events this year including funding the recent visit by Key

Strings musicians with an Olympic theme that was enjoyed

by the children.

Other News

Plans are continuing with the refurbishment of the existing

class 1 and work will be completed over the summer holidays

in time for our new reception starters. Staff are working hard

to prepare for this with relocation of existing equipment –

there are a lot of boxes about the school at the moment! It was

lovely to meet the new September 2012 starters and their

parents and the Teddy Bear Picnic was a great success despite

the weather!

a farm in Onston lane, Crowton mid morning Tuesday 3rd

anything else that is out of the ordinary around the time in

question please contact the police.

There have been several reports of theft of tractors/trailers

over the last week at various locations on the Rural Area. If

you have any information that you consider could assist in

each of the individual cases please make contact. I would also

ask that all owners of tractors, farmers or otherwise take note

of this recent trend and take appropriate security measures/

review with all your tractors and equipment. Difficult as it

may be to identify due to the hours and locations that tractors

are often seen, if you do see something that doesn’t look right

please call to enable the scenario to be checked out by

officers.

SWISS ROLL RECIPE

INGREDIENTS: 4 large eggs.

100g ( 4 oz ) caster sugar

100g ( 4 oz ) self raising flour

FILLING

4 tabs strawberry or Raspberry jam.

Requirements 33cm x 23cm

(13” x 9” ) Swiss roll tin

Preheat oven 220C / fan200C / gas 7

Cooking time 10mins. approx.

METHOD:

Grease & line tin with baking parchment

Whisk eggs & sugar together in a large bowl until the mixture is

light and frothy, and the whisk leaves a trail when lifted out.

Sift flour in, carefully folding it in at the same time. Turn the

mixture into the prepared tin and give it a gentle shake so it finds

it’s own level, making sure it spreads evenly into the corners.

Bake for about 10mins in a preheated oven, or until the sponge is

golden and begins to shrink from edges of tin.

Cut a piece of baking parchment a little bigger than the tin and

sprinkle with caster sugar.

Invert the cake onto the parchment, and quickly loosen and

remove the paper from the bottom of the cake.

Trim the edges of the sponge and with a sharp knife make a

score mark 1”in from shorter edge of cake. Don’t cut through.

Leave to cool slightly, spread with jam, if the cake is too hot the

jam will sink into the sponge. Roll the cake up firmly from the

cut end.

CHOCOLATE SANDWICH CAKE RECIPE

150g ( 5oz ) SR flour

175g ( 6oz ) caster sugar

175g ( 6oz ) soft margarine

75g (3oz) drinking chocolate

3 large eggs

3 tablespoons boiling water

FILLING 4 tablespoons icing sugar

2 tablespoons drinking chocolate

25g (1oz ) butter

2 tablespoons milk

Requirements 8” to 9” diameter

greased and lined cake tin.

Preheat oven gas Mk 4 / 350F / 180C

Cooking time 1 hour

METHOD

Mix all ingredients together, stirring gently to begin with until

all are combined.

Then beat for two minutes.

Pour into the greased lined tin.

Bake until well risen.

Leave in tin for 5 minutes, then turn out onto wire tray to cool.

FILLING Put the milk and margarine in a saucepan and heat until

margarine is melted.

Add icing sugar and drinking chocolate and mix until smooth.

Cut cake in half and spread the filling over the bottom layer.
