It’s October, so it must be Harvest at St Mary’s. All are warmly welcome to join the traditional celebrations at your parish church on the first Sunday of the month, 5th October, at 10.30am. According to Surrey Rural Partnership, over three-quarters of Surrey is rural; it has a substantial rural economy; and, it is the most wooded county in the England. However, Send is hardly famed for being the most agricultural of places, with only a few transient crops of maize, wheat and hay distributed across the fields and some occasional grazing by small flocks of sheep, smaller herds of cattle and a sprinkling of horses. But even if we are townies through and through, perhaps alarmed at even the thought of a blade of grass, that doesn’t stop us sensing and acknowledging our interdependence and gratitude for the benefits, such as they are, of our being. It can be a shocking realisation to some that despite the prevailing and relentless support of the cultural prominence of individualism and self-promotion we are seldom far from the truth that we are all very much, and sometimes entirely dependent on people and things beyond our control. Even for the most able and capable, the most ego-maniacal, individual agency is limited. The so-called selfmade man or woman, elevating their prospects from nothing while shunning the assistance of anyone else, is a shallow and deluded myth. When was the last time we made ourselves a pair of shoes, drilled for and refined our own unleaded fuel, built a computer processor, manufactured magnolia emulsion, grew a potato, designed a solar power station, produced a vaccine for a deadly infection, or for the sake of being a bit ‘harvesty’, ‘ploughed the fields and scattered the good seed on the land?’ Some people do each of these. Most don’t. Most of the stuff we seek, acquire and possess has been made and supplied by someone else. Independence depends. Upon this inconveniently interdependent truth rests the morality of treating others as we would be treated, sharing, fairness, and even survival. Most weeks I lead a short prayer during Sunday worship at the time gifts are offered: ‘All things come from thee, O Lord, and of thine own do we give thee.’ (1 Chronicles 29.14) These ancient sentiments have a simplicity and directness that remind me not only that can we understand ourselves to be dependent on other people and things, but also by faith we can invest a deeper dependence and emptying in God and so learn to give confidently and generously of ourselves to those who are in want or need of love or substance. St Mary’s Parish - Outlook 2014 October Page 1 Who restored St Mary, Send? “Send. That’s the answer, Mr. Jackson. The Vicar there is a first-rate tutor. If the boy wants to go to Oxford, Mr Tate will get him through the entrance examination.” The boy was Thomas Graham Jackson, born in 1835. Lady Grantley’s advice was taken and he got into Oxford. Then, after training in Sir George Gilbert Scott’s office, he became an architect. Early in August, I visited Send on the trail of Thomas Graham Jackson. Largely forgotten today, from 1880 to 1914 he was one of England’s most famous architects and a Royal Academician. Most of his work was educational, building for schools and universities. Do you know the ‘Bridge of Sighs’ in Oxford? That is his. He did not build many churches, but he restored quite a few. Have you heard of the diver who set concrete blocks in the bog underneath Winchester Cathedral to stop it from falling down? He was working for Jackson, who was made a baronet in 1913 for saving the Cathedral. Did Jackson restore St Mary, Send? I am researching his early career and that is a puzzle I am trying to solve. All buildings need maintenance, especially ancient ones. The Victorians put a lot of effort (and money) into what they called “restoration” – a mixture of repairs and up-dating, and enlargement if needed. Up-dating involved a major overhaul to the furniture and fittings. Most medieval English churches were restored in the period c.1840 – c.1880, among them St Mary’s. Who the architect was we don’t know. None of the books link Jackson with Send’s restoration. Nevertheless, although he was then an unknown young London architect, the circumstantial evidence is strongly in his favour. Firm links can be drawn between Jackson and building in the parish for his former tutor, Charles Tate, vicar of Send and Ripley 1852-75. At the very start of his career, Tate commissioned Jackson to build a vicarage in Send (1861, built 1863-64, now ‘ …Cont.

That’s one man every hour. The Prostate Project, established in 1998, is unique among Prostate Cancer Charities in its scope and organisation. Run entirely by volunteers, the administration costs are very low – below 2%. Based in Guildford, they support the Royal Surrey County Hospital, St Luke's Cancer Centre, and Frimley Park Hospital in funding facilities and specialist nurses for the detection and treatment of prostate cancer. They also have funded the creation of a dedicated oncology research team at the University of Surrey Postgraduate Medical School (PGMS), and run patient support groups in Guildford and Frimley. In the last 11 years they have raised over £4 million. Such has been their success that they have been a significant factor in the Surrey region achieving ‘Centre of Excellence’ status in the treatment and diagnosis of the disease. But with success has come an obligation and they now need to maintain their levels of support and funding: The Charity has been challenged to raise £2.25m to build a new dedicated NHS urological centre for the Royal Surrey Hospital. The Centre aims to cover all the urological needs of both men and women and provide a one-stop diagnostic shop for men with Prostate Cancer. NEED HELP WITH TRANSPORT?

Now, to remind everyone of the area we’re proud to live in, Send Parish Council has commissioned mugs to be made by the Wensleydale Pottery. They will feature the village logo “sprigged” on the reverse - so your friends and family get to see it while you have your cuppa! “Sprigging” is often used to add raised decorations to pottery, to add to a piece's visual and tactile appeal. The mugs will be available in cream or brown and will be available at the October St Mary's coffee morning and subsequent ones. They will be priced at £6.50, which we consider very reasonable for a quality handmade pottery item.

Send Help - editor’s note. Two main types of volunteer are needed - Duty Officers and Drivers. Duty Officers take the calls, log the requests, and then phone round the volunteers to fulfil each job. Finally the client is called back and given the name of the volunteer who will help them. Phone costs are reimbursed. Drivers collect the clients, take them to their appointment and (normally) take them home afterwards. They receive a mileage allowance. sendparishchurch.co.uk Page 5 Imagine….by David Mulford Looking through the pages of the Radio Times a programme called ‘Imagine’ caught my eye. It is a factual series and this episode had the intriguing title “Who took Nanny’s pictures?” It told the story of Vivian Maier, an American ‘street’ photographer. Vivian was a Nanny who amassed a vast, secret hoard of her pictures of such quality and diversity that she was described as one the best US street photographers of the 20th century. She left behind more than 100,000 images, in hundreds of boxes of negatives and undeveloped rolls of film as well as super8 home movie footage and trunks full of memorabilia. Born in New York in 1926, Maier spent much of her childhood in the French Alps. Her first camera, in 1949, like most of us at that age, was a Box Brownie - a light-proof box with a pinhole lens one end covered by a single click shutter. Images were projected on to a roll film. (Digital cameras were light years away.) In 1951, aged 25, she returned to America and began working as a Nanny in New York. She continued photographing in her spare time and bought a Rolleiflex camera the following year. Her countless earlier pictures were black and white, but her later work, continuing until the mid 1990s, using 35mm films, were shot on a Leica111c and were usually in colour. She was described as an outspoken woman with strong liberal views but liked to keep herself private; she never formed any intimate relationship in her lifetime. All her spare time was spent photographing, even when taking the children for long walks. There was always something to be taken. She had a natural ability to see a composition in an instant and her images are technically accomplished. She depicted an honest America ‘warts and all’ but she never showed her pictures to anyone. When working for the Gensburg family she used her own room as a darkroom allowing her to process her early films but when she moved on to work for other families without a darkroom she couldn’t afford to have the films processed by photographic shops. So her undeveloped roll films accumulated, forcing her to store them in rented lockers. Her wonderful, if surreptitious collection, only came to light when a certain John Maloof, working on an historical book of the local neighbourhood, bought the contents of a storage locker for $4oo hoping he might find local pictures to help in his research. (The locker had been repossessed for non payment of bills as the ‘elderly female owner’ was old, ill and living in a nursing home.) Disappointed that he couldn’t find the type of pictures he was looking for, he did however recognise that these images of everyday street scenes were quite special and not just the work of any amateur photographer. Her pictures show her natural aptitude for composition, light and shade and that of her camera technique. She died in April 2009 unaware that her pictures were to be seen by so many; those with computers can tap into her name and see much of her work. I’m so pleased to have caught up with her. St Mary’s Parish - Outlook 2014 October Page 6 Early Music concert in Send Saturday 22nd November sees the return of Bergamasca Baroque Ensemble to Send. Local recorder player and teacher Katriina Boosey is excited about bringing her colleagues to perform in her village, especially as they now have a new member to the group. Lynda Sayce, one of the world’s most eminent lute players, joins Katriina and Frances Eustace, who have been playing together since they met at the Akademie fur Alte Musik in Bremen in 1990. Frances is well-known as one of Britain’s best Baroque bassoon and curtal players and also plays both treble and bass viols. Katriina also performs with Fontanella Quintet and teaches recorder and Baroque ensembles at Cranleigh School, St Catherine’s in Bramley and Farlington School in Horsham. The amazing variety of unusual instruments allows Bergamasca to create a different sound for each piece. Their repertoire covers the entire Baroque period from the early 17th century to the 18th c. late Baroque. The programme ‘When the Angell comes down’ gets its title from the Diary of Samuel Pepys and refers to the heavenly wind music Pepys had heard in London. Bergamasca presents music from before and after 1668 and includes pieces by the well-known Baroque masters Vivaldi and Telemann as well as interesting works by the Italian and French composers Montalbano, Monteclair and d’Hervelois. Bergamasca’s last concert in Send was a sell-out and hopefully lots of people will turn up again to raise funds for St Mary’s Church. This time the concert takes place at Lancaster Hall to allow more space for seating and parking.

It fit under his shirt and was not noticeable at all. On the first day of school, still with the cast under his shirt, he found himself assigned to the toughest students in school. Walking confidently into the rowdy classroom, he opened the window as wide as possible and then busied himself with desk work. When a strong breeze made his tie flap, he took the desk stapler and stapled the tie to his chest. He had no trouble with discipline that year.

In 1867, Tate had Jackson back to build a larger south aisle at his other parish, St. Mary Magdalen, Ripley (carried out 186769). These two jobs in Send and Ripley attracted local attention and won Jackson further work. Commissions came in to restore St Nicholas, Pyrford (1869), enlarge St Mary the Virgin, Chessington (1870) and All Saints, Ockham (1875). The idea that Tate gave Jackson a third commission, to restore St Mary, Send, is thus very possible. Alternatively, Send’s Victorianisation may have waited for the incumbency of Ernest Bevan (1875-89). That too is possible. A painting of 1827 shows that some of St Mary’s box pews had already been replaced by open benches - an extraordinarily early date. Repairs to the fabric may have been made then, but the 1827 image also shows us just how much was done by the Victorians. My visit didn’t produce evidence either way, but I got to know a beautiful parish church. The answer, if it can be found, will lie in the surviving parish or diocesan archives. If I find out, I’ll let you know. Martin D W Jones Editor’s Note: I had the pleasure of meeting Martin Jones when he came to Send. He is very knowledgeable about churches and I look forward to hearing more in due course. Two friends met in the street. One looked sad and almost on the verge of tears. The other man said, "Hey my friend, how come you look like the whole world has caved in?" The sad fellow said, "Let me tell you. Three weeks ago, an uncle died and left me 50-thousand pounds." "That's not bad at all...!" "Hold on, I'm just getting started. Two weeks ago, a cousin I never knew kickedthe-bucket and left me 95-thousand, tax-free to boot." "Well, that's great! I'd like that." "Last week, my grandfather passed away. I inherited almost a million." "So why are so glum?" "This week - nothing!"

It is called The Knitted Bible Experience and they have managed to book it on its journey around the country. In fact, this is the first time it has come as far south as Surrey. The exhibition consists of thirty-four large 3D scenes from the Bible, all knitted by members of a church in Hartlepool and will be on display in St. Martin’s. The Very Revd Dianna Gwilliams, Dean of Guildford, is coming to bless it on the first day of the exhibition. Admission is free and they are combining it with other events, more details of which will be available in October on St Martin’s website www.easthorsleychurch.org.uk It is quite extraordinary and well worth a visit. Refreshments will be available all day in the church, together with lots of activities for children as it is on display during half-term week. You will be very welcome just to go along at any time and see the results of a remarkable project. SEND MOTHERS UNION Our next meeting will be on Monday 13th October at 10.30am in the Church Rooms when Joy Hunter will be giving a talk ‘Underground in Churchill’s War Rooms and other experiences”.
