April 2023 Editorial Team: Monica Hyde, David Lee, John Kirby and Margaret Molloy
Here we are, half way through March as I sit and write this, and still it’s cold, still the rain comes down. Now they are saying we will likely be back to drought conditions due to February being such a dry month. Will we be back to scorching hot temperatures in the summer? Wouldn’t mind a day or so now. Just to walk outside and feel some warmth on your back would be so welcome. Meanwhile, life goes on. Not as we know it Jim, not as we know it. There seems that there is very little to get excited about but so much to get depressed about. I stopped watching or listening to the news a long time ago and now I can’t even enjoy Ken Bruce and Popmaster in the mornings! Yes, I know he’ll be back soon on a commercial channel but it won’t be the same will it? As for that bloke who replaced Steve Wright in the afternoons - ‘nuff said!! Nothing ever stays the same and many of us find it so difficult to cope with change. Certainly a lot of change happening to Chalgrove. In years to come it will just be taken as the norm but for those of us who have lived here for so long it’s a lot to take in. One positive change is being able to announce that we are able to welcome a new member to the Link team. Following our appeal for new blood in a recent issue, Sam Lamb came forward and said he would be interested in getting involved. Sam has lived in the village for many years and is involved in many aspects of village life. He is going to take up the role of our roving reporter. Instead of waiting for emails to appear in our Inbox, Sam will be reaching out to individuals and organisations to find out about events and opportunities that we might otherwise have missed. He is also going to try and encourage more businesses, large and small, to advertise to help us with our funding. By the time you read this, the clocks will have gone forward, the nights will be longer and we will be looking forward to Easter at the beginning of April. Lots still to be concerned about but much to be thankful for. Like your monthly free Link. Enjoy! Dave

Chalgrove’s Agility Star The eagle-eyed amongst you watching Channel 4’s TV coverage of Crufts may have spotted Chalgrove’s very own Lily Woodford with her dog Spider in the Singles Agility and Championship Agility competitions. In case you haven’t seen it, Agility is an amazing high-speed sport where the handler guides their dog over jumps, through tunnels, across see-saw dog walks and other obstacles trying to set the quickest time without picking up any faults. It’s a dazzling watch, highlighting the speed of the dogs, the skills of the handlers, and the incredible bond between the two. The other thing you notice is just how much joy the dogs get from it. I caught up with Lily a week later, to ask about the experience. “This was my first year competing at Championship level, and my first Crufts. It was amazing. I still can’t quite believe it!” Even after a week, she is beaming. Crufts is the pinnacle of the British Agility circuit. Throughout the year, elite handlers and their dogs compete every weekend around the country, aiming to win Championship events, and collect points from Singles events. The top 20 Championship winners and the top 8 in the Singles table are then invited to the finals at Crufts. Lily and Spider qualified for both events. In the Singles, they finished third. In the Championship final, Spider just missed touching the white paint on the downslope of the Dog Walk, but was still quick enough to finish sixth. “It was a really tricky turn,” says Lily, “and there’s so much going on with the excitement of the crowd and the noise in the arena. But she’s never missed one before in competition – the little monkey.” “Spider is my first real agility dog, the first dog I’ve competed with every weekend. I started her as a gundog but, when she was two, decided to try agility. She took to it instantly. We travel all around the country, Scotland, the Lakes, everywhere. It’s quite expensive, but worth it. It’s my hobby and my life. I’ve bought a caravan this year, to make it a bit easier!” Animals have always been part of Lily’s life. She grew up whelping puppies, lambing and helping with her Mum’s dog grooming business in Chalgrove. She volunteered at Cornwall’s Seal Sanctuary, Marwell Zoo and Antelope Park in Zimbabwe, and went on to work at and run dog kennels, becoming Head of Operations at The Dogs Trust. She now runs her own dog training business chilternlily.co.uk in Northamptonshire, specialising in obedience, gundog work and, of course agility. She tells me “Agility is for every dog and every person”. Now Crufts 2023 is over, Lily is already planning for the new season, which starts at the beginning of April. “Spider needs just one more Championship win to be awarded her Ag Ch title. It’s an official title, which goes in front of her name. It’s like a PhD for dogs!” Look out for them at events all around the country, such as September’s Newbury Show. And of course, make sure you’re cheering them on at Crufts next year. Sam Lamb 3

Blue badge
Certain concessionary travel cards
Identity card with PASS mark (Proof of Age Standards Scheme)
Biometric Immigration document
Defence identity card
Certain national identity cards
For more information on which forms of photo ID will be accepted, visit electoralcommission.org.uk/voterID or call their helpline on 0800 328 0280. If you don’t have an accepted form photo ID: If you don’t already have an accepted form of photo ID, or you’re not sure whether your photo ID still looks like you, you can apply for a free voter ID document, known as a Voter Authority Certificate.

Chalgrove Local History Group There was a change of speaker for our March gathering as Stephen Mileson was unable to make the meeting but at very short notice we welcomed Alastair Lack who came to speak to us about the writer Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. Known as Lewis Carroll he in fact was a lecturer in Mathematics at Christchurch, Oxford University. Born in 1832 in Cheshire into an upper middle class family his father also attended Christchurch winning a double first degree in mathematics but married and became a country parson. Charles was the oldest boy in a family of eleven siblings and attended Rugby school where he grew to be very bright and articulate, excelling in mathematics, although he was very unhappy there having been subjected to a certain amount of bullying. Eventually he won a scholarship to Christchurch, Oxford. Through his brilliance in mathematics he eventually won a lectureship at the college, which he held for 26 years. Notwithstanding his career as a lecturer Charles was inflicted with a stammer following a bout of whooping cough in his teens. Whilst he was very conscious of the stammer it did not hold him back in progressing forward in society. He was 30 years old when, on what was recorded as a fine summer’s day, he took a river trip on the Thames to Godstone and had tea under haystacks when he conceived the idea of Alice. He had also developed a keen interest in photography in which he excelled, considering it as a means of expressing himself whilst developing further his articulate and mathematical skills. These skills he adapted to writing stories featuring Alice, under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. Thus Alice in Wonderland and then Alice Through the Looking Glass. His students back at Christchurch were astonished to learn that the writer of these wonderful, imaginative books was their mathematics lecturer. He also wrote articles supporting the work of Euclid and wrote ‘Euclid’s Modern Rivals’. He wrote articles about algebra, geometry and wordplay. He loved children, which led to the story of Alice, and there was some question over his involvement with children and Alice. There was even a suggestion towards being a paedophile. The storybooks of Alice were based upon Alice Liddel who, as she grew up to adulthood, was much against her association with Alice in Wonderland. Charles disapproved of Queen Victoria who exercised control over children whereas he would allow them to play. He had connections with Royalty having photographed many famous people including the Queen’s son Edward, later King Edward VII. Charles made money from his writings and was able to help with giving financial support to his siblings but with all his other virtues he was a poor controller of his own finances. He was in serious debt to the tune of £4,000. (£90,000 in today’s value). In fact he died owing £2,000, which his family paid off. In spite of that failing, he was a very ordered but pedantic person and supporter of proportional representation and an early vegetarian. Charles Dodgson died in Guildford following violent pneumonia in 1898. An interesting talk about a writer of very famous books. Our next speaker will talk about the ‘Upper Thames Patrol of the Waterborne Home Guard of the River Thames’. The speaker is Bill King and this will be on Monday 3 April at 7.30 pm again in the John Hampden Hall. Geoffrey Searle (picture of Alice compliments Google)

STORIES AND MYSTERIES Do you enjoy discovering the stories that ancient and historic buildings hold within their walls? Then read on ……… Chalgrove church contains centuries of stories within its walls and this year, with the lessening of Covid strictures, we can again open the church to visitors who want to explore and learn more about those stories and the heritage artefacts that reveal them. This presents a great opportunity to anyone who would like not just to learn those stories for themselves but also to share them with visitors as a trained church guide. St Mary’s is a beautiful grade 1 listed building within which is an internationally renowned set of medieval wall paintings that decorate the chancel in tier upon tier of fascinating images, together forming a wonderful story. More recently discovered wall paintings reveal other chapters in the church’s history, as do the many other heritage artefacts. If you would like to meet us and some of the existing guides, we would love to hear from you. No ‘qualifications’ are required. We welcome people of faith or of none, who are curious to learn and find out more about St Mary’s hidden and now revealed gems, and to then join the church guides’ team and enjoy passing on their knowledge to visitors. It’s such a rewarding and fascinating thing to do and always much appreciated by the visitors. And this year will be even more rewarding as we can offer our own audio/touch guide of St Mary’s heritage features to visitors who are visually impaired.

Ridgeway u3a The February speaker was Fritha Irwin, speaking on behalf of the National Trust, on the relatively recent discovery of the ‘Wartime History of Hughenden Manor’. Hughenden Manor, although first mentioned in the Doomsday Book, was really built in 1737 as a Georgian House with white stucco finish. In 1848 it was owned by Benjamin Disraeli, who brought in an architect who swept away the Georgian features and put crenellations on the roof. In 1910, Disraeli’s nephew, who had inherited the Manor, built the West Wing to include a music room for his wife. After this brief introduction to Hughenden Manor, Fritha went on to talk about the World War 2 history there. When the National Trust took over the Manor in 1947, they found a book of photos of people in RAF uniforms but knew nothing of the history, so the book was archived. However, in 2004 Victor Gregory was showing his grandson around, talking of his wartime experience at the Manor. The conversation was overheard by a volunteer, who then approached him for a chat. Victor wasn’t allowed to talk about his time there due to the Official Secrets Act. It took a year to obtain permission and in 2006 the visiting Antiques Road Show encouraged others to come forward. From 1941 until 1945 Hughenden Manor in Buckinghamshire was used as a top-secret base for bomb-target mapping, codenamed ‘Operation Hillside’. It was chosen on geographical grounds as it was in close proximity to Walters Ash, HQ of Bomber Command, whose commander from 1941 was Arthur Harris. He overhauled the airbase and introduced saturation bombing as a military tactic to win the war, but they needed precise target maps and expert navigators. Victor at 19 years old worked for a map printing company when he received a call in 1941 from the RAF. He was recruited as a cartographer for the secret bomb-target mapping operation and attended a meeting at the Manor to discuss Operation Hillside. A recruitment drive for the most talented surveyors, cartographers and designers ensued. Approximately 100 were recruited and sworn to secrecy with Victor at 19 being the youngest member of this RAF team. The Manor was an ideal location, hidden away in the woods and hard to spot from the air. There were no military police on guard and no obvious signs that it was being used by the military, as it would be a prime target for the enemy. They were all living in private billets and couldn’t even tell the military police where they were stationed. This caused some conflict until the staff members were issued with special passes. They were so secret that a young lady who had travelled through the London blackout to High Wycombe by train, arrived not knowing where to go. She went to a Police Station but as they didn’t know either they put her up for the night (in a cell presumably!). German map production was deliberately stopped in 1931, which meant that when the war started there were no up-to-date maps of Germany. So now RAF Benson started to use Spitfires and Mosquitoes to take photographs, with cameras in the gun bays, leaving them undefended. They would fly down to 10,000 feet, take pictures and get out quickly. Mosquitoes were lighter as they were made of wood and so were much more manoeuverable. Millions of pictures were taken to Benson and then to RAF Medmenham (also in Buckinghamshire), the photographic intelligence centre. Targets which supported the war effort were identified with the help of intelligence and the 3D photos were then sent to Hillside, where new maps were made showing the targets. They made large transparencies with roads on one, rivers on another, geographical features and targets on two others, putting all four of them together to produce a picture which was printed by German equipment! They all worked on a ‘need to know’ basis so no one knew what happened in other departments except Victor, who worked in all sections learning new skills when opportunities arose. The checking section was his favourite department, formed in 1943 to find and eradicate mistakes. 14
Maps from Hillside (ie the Manor) went to Bomber Command and were used extensively, causing enormous damage to German military bases and fortifications. Flying bomb sites were bombed to devastation – 120 different sites were discovered in France and the Low Countries, where the Germans were building concrete ramps to launch their flying bombs. They used slave labour to construct them, so we would wait until they had finished before bombing and destroying the ramps completely. Hillside also supported Operation Manna which supplied food to the starving Dutch population in 1945 and they created maps of a Gestapo prison in Amiens, enabling Mosquito pilots to blow the walls so the prisoners could escape. This was an absolutely fascinating and well-presented talk with Fritha also showing us interesting slides and examples of maps. There is more that I could add but we want to encourage you all to visit Hughenden Manor to find out more for yourselves. Ridgeway u3a would like to thank both Fritha and the National Trust for this interesting talk. The speaker on 18 April will be Jon Woodhouse, talking on ’26 Years in the Guards as a Musician’ – along with his Saxophone. This starts at 2.30 pm, followed by refreshments. Guests are welcome (with a small fee to pay). Any queries please phone Annette on 07771 992724 or visit our website: https://u3asites.org.uk/ridgeway Annette Thompson

A Warm Space for All at the John Hampden Hall Due to the cost-of-living crisis, the congregation at St Mary’s was keen to respond and thanks to the generosity of the John Hampden Hall Committee was able to open Warm Spaces on a Thursday afternoon. From November to the end of March many cups of tea have been drunk, cakes and biscuits eaten, games played, films watched, conversations had and words bashed out on lap tops. A huge thank you to everyone who either donated resources, refreshments or gave their time serving them. Also thanks to everyone who set up and tidied up and gave their time planning and getting this off the ground. Thank you to all the lovely people who came and a huge thank you, once more, to the JHH committee for allowing us to use the space. Kirsty Lakey

Benson Garden Club Benson Garden Club’s talk on 2 March 2023 was ‘Nuts about Narcissus’ by Pip Smith. A landscape architect with over 13 years’ experience as a professional horticulturist, Pip has held the post of Head Gardener at several private and public gardens, most recently at the highly acclaimed Wollerton Old Hall in Shropshire. He had given an excellent talk at the club previously and so we had invited him back – we were not disappointed. Once again, Pip displayed an excellent knowledge of his subject, delivered in an engaging style. He began by reminding us of Wordsworth’s celebration of the joy of daffodils in his famous poem, ‘I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud’. He then explained how the daffodil (Latin name, narcissus) came to be named, which was from Greek mythology as it was the flower Narcissus turned into when he fell into the pool in despair. It was probably the Romans who brought daffodils to Britain, but it was Reverend George Engleheart (1851 -1936) who could be called the father of the modern daffodil, with 720 cultivars to his name. Today there are over 27,000 cultivars. Pip stressed the importance of planting daffodil bulbs in September (or even the end of August, if possible), as they need at least 8 weeks’ warmth. He advised paying for the biggest bulbs you can afford, as the bigger the bulb, the better the flower. Once flowering has finished, only deadhead the actual seedhead, rather than the whole stem. The leaves should be left for around 5-6 weeks to allow the daffodil to photosynthesise. Pip then shared his top 25 narcissus. N. ‘Geranium’ was recommended for its sweet scent and longevity in flowering. N. ‘Dutch Master’ looks like a ‘proper’ daffodil, such as a child would draw, with large yellow flowers. N. ‘Ice Follies’ again lasts for a long period of time and is very robust. N. ‘Rip Van Winkle’ looks good by itself in a pot. N. ‘Thalia’, with pure white flowers, is very popular with garden designers. And N. ‘Pipit’, sweetly fragrant, is a suitable choice if you don’t want too much foliage. He finished his talk by recommending some lovely places to see daffodils, including Dymock Woods in Gloucestershire, where you can view them in a woodland setting, and RHS Garden Wisley in Surrey. On Thursday 30 March, Michael Holland will give a talk from his ‘Tales From the Fruit Bowl’, titled ‘Saucy & Spicy’ (focusing on the nightshade family). Michael is a writer, lecturer and author with a 25-year career at the renowned Chelsea Physic Garden in London. It will be at our usual venue, Benson parish hall. Doors open at 7.15 pm for a 7.45 pm start (£2 for members, £5 for visitors – just turn up on the door, no need to book). We will also have our ‘Flower of the Month’ competition (for members only). Then in May we have a tour for our members of Oxford Botanic Garden. Further information about this thriving club, which has been running for over 25 years, and how to join as a member can be found on our website: https://bensongardeningclub.weebly.com or please feel free to email

John Howell MP writes...
March 2023
In order to meet the copy deadlines for many of the parish magazines published in communities across the constituency I have to write in the first part of the month. This month my deadline comes ahead of the Spring Budget which I know many await, hoping that some of the Government support towards the cost of living will continue. Much is widely heralded, and I have no advanced insights beyond those already published in the media. However I am optimistic that the energy support will be extended to get us through the rest of the colder months this year. As always there will be much comment in the public domain when the Budget Statement is made by the Chancellor and the Treasury publish the details. Most people will have received the energy support automatically through their energy provider. However there are a number of households not on mainstream supply or who have other specific arrangements, such as Park Homes. In February the alternative scheme to ensure that support is available to such households went live for everyone and applications for support to the Alternative Energy Support Scheme can be made online. With the coming of Spring we are perhaps a little more aware of the countryside around us and in recent weeks I have had a number of people contact me to comment on the litter that we see on verges and in other public places. I agree that this is an eyesore and we need to keep drawing attention to the need for people to take their rubbish home or use the bins provided. In recognition of the problem the Government published its National Litter Strategy in 2017 which set out a number of ways to tackle the problem. This has been regularly reviewed and initiatives such as The Great British Beach Clean and the Great British Spring Clean have been well supported by volunteers across the country. This year the Great British Spring Clean will take place between Friday 17 March and Sunday 2 April. Our District Councils take the lead on this and you can find full details, including health and safety advice, information on loan of equipment and collection of filled bags on the SODC website. As far as I can see Cherwell has yet to publish information. Thankfully most of our children progress through mainstream education with little problem. However there are some children who have special educational needs and I know that accessing this is not always easy. The delays can cause considerable stress for children and their families and the time lost can be critical. This is not just a local problem and the Department for Education has been looking to see what changes need to be made to improve the system. Following consultation the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and Alternative Provision (AP) Improvement Plan has just been published with the aim of ensuring that the right support is given at the right time and in the right place. This is fully supported by the Department for Health and Social Care. There is much work to be done in this area but the publication of this plan and the associated measures for improvement are an important step in the right direction. It is backed with substantial funding, and oversight of reform will be provided through a new national special educational needs and disabilities alternative provision implementation board, chaired by senior ministers. There are, of course, many big issues which affect us all which are well rehearsed in the national media and which the government is already working to address. If there is a particular issue that concerns you, please do share your thoughts. If you would like to know more about my work on behalf of the Government, and in the Constituency, please do look at my website. The address is www.johnhowell.org.uk. My contact details are also on the website. Printed and promoted by John Howell MP House of Commons, London, SW1A 0AA

Come to Our Next Meeting The Patient Participation Group (PPG) has always had regular meetings with the Practice where any changes or issues that affect patients are discussed. As with many organisations, the pandemic put paid to face to face meetings for nearly three years. We are therefore very glad to be able to announce our next Full Meeting. It is scheduled for Thursday 27 April, at Chiltern Surgery, Watlington – 6 pm start. The meeting will open with a presentation on Social Prescribing by Sarah Rudd. Sarah has been managing Social Prescribing in our area for nearly 3 years now and the facility is proving invaluable to the Practice by reducing pressure on Practice staff who are very often not in a position to help patients in the most effective way. For those who don’t know, Social Prescribing is something that can be offered to any patient who needs help, but not necessarily of a medical nature. Social Prescribing is a key component of Universal Personalised Care. It is an approach that connects people to activities, groups, and services in their community to meet the practical, social and emotional needs that affect their health and wellbeing. It offers solutions to problems that are not always available via your GP. In Social Prescribing, local agencies such as local charities, social care and health services refer people to a Social Prescribing link worker. Social Prescribing link workers give people time, focusing on ‘what matters to me?’ to coproduce a simple personalised care and support plan, and support people to take control of their health and wellbeing. Social Prescribing link workers also support existing community groups to be accessible and sustainable, and help people to start new groups, working collaboratively with all local partners. Social Prescribing is an approach for any patient over the age of 18 that works particularly well for people who:
have one or more long term conditions
who need support with low level mental health issues
who are lonely or isolated
who have complex social needs which affect their wellbeing
The meeting is open to all, regardless of whether or not you are a PPG member. So, if you or someone you know is finding life difficult and you think they would maybe benefit from Social Prescribing, please come along. The talk will be at the start of the meeting and there is no obligation to stay for any other PPG matters. If you feel you would like to attend, it would be greatly appreciated if you could send an email to us so that we have some idea of numbers likely to attend. Welcome We’re sure all patients will join us in welcoming a new member of staff to the Practice who will boost the GP team. Dr Olere Esiemokhai joined us on 6 March. She is originally from Nigeria and has been working as a GP in the Midlands prior to joining us. She will be working primarily in the Chiltern Surgery. If you have any queries about any Practice matters, please feel free to email us and we will do our best to help you.

Thought from the Vicar Have you ever stood up for someone? I vividly remember as a youngster unsuccessfully attempting to stand up for a new friend I had made on holiday - I don’t even remember who it was or where we were. But I had a football; and because I had a football, I had a friend. However, it wasn’t long before a bigger boy came along and started pushing my friend around. I didn’t notice that they had the same hair and glasses. “Oi”, I roared, “leave my FRIEND alone! … Or else!” “This is my BROTHER!”, the bigger boy bellowed back, “And you are going to mind your own business! … Or else!” And because the bigger boy had 10lb and an extra six inches height over me, but chiefly because I was a bigger brother too, I beat a hasty retreat and let events take their course. I saw my friend, looking subdued, and a bit dishevelled, later that day and I felt a pang of guilt. At Easter, Christians around the world traditionally greet one another by saying “Christ is risen”, to which the traditional reply is “He is risen indeed”. ‘Risen’, here, is a reference to Jesus Christ returning from death on the Sunday after he was killed. The word for this return, ‘resurrection’, is a translation of an Ancient Greek word anastasis, which literally means to ‘stand up again’. And the Bible tells us that Jesus Christ gave up his life and returned from death for us, for you and for me, which means that Christians do think that each of us has had someone ‘stand up’ for them: Jesus Christ, on Easter morning. Of course, this seems like a different sort of standing up for someone than what I had unsuccessfully attempted in the opening story. That was all about solidarity with a friend, rescue from distress, protection from a bully: standing up and being counted. The great ‘standing up’ of Jesus Christ is about his return to life. But he did this because God chose to share our human condition - to become one of us. He did this to protect us from ourselves, from our weaknesses, sins, and failings, and from our resultant separation from God. And he did this to rescue us from the same death that he himself faced and defeated on our behalf. And unlike my erstwhile friend, whose wannabe rescuer was not terribly reliable, the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ demonstrate that he, at least, is trustworthy. And what does this mean for us, but that we are loved and that, even in the midst of the worst that life can throw at us, the one who died for us and who ‘stood up’ for us, will never leave us. We are not alone. Happy Easter. Christ is risen. Fr Michael Lakey

Chalgrove Cricket Club As we edge closer to the start of the new season, yep you guessed it snow is falling! With the weather slowing down preparations on the ground, we are working hard behind the scenes so we are ready once it improves. Indoor nets are under way at Icknield school on Sunday mornings and it’s been encouraging to see new faces amongst the old. Outdoor nets will be held on a Wednesday evening from 6 pm, due to start after the Easter holidays if weather permits. If you’re interested in joining us and giving it a try, please contact Stephen Hunt for details -
[email protected]. As a club we rely greatly on sponsorship, donations and grants, whether it be in time, materials or funding, and this is why we are extremely pleased to announce a new main shirt sponsor for the forthcoming season in the form of OZ Driveways and Patios who is a valued supporter of the club regularly attending home games throughout the season. We also have returning sponsors Monument Pools and the GoTo group. As an added bonus this year, thank you to The Crown for choosing us along with the Youth Club and Chalgrove Cavaliers FC as their chosen charities for the year. We have also received funding in the form of a grant for the addition of a separate ladies’ changing room. Thanks to Jo Donoghue and David Turner supplying the information regarding access to local funding for sports clubs. Keep up to date with more regular updates and news on our socials.
