Jungle Talk Three animals were having a huge argument over who was the best.

The first, a hawk, claimed that because of his ability to fly, he could attack anything repeatedly from above, and his prey had nary a chance. The second, a lion, based his claim on his strength ... None in the forest dared to challenge him. The third, a skunk, insisted he needed neither flight nor strength to frighten off any creature.

As the trio debated the issue, an alligator came along and swallowed them all ... hawk, lion and stinker.

Jean Sheehan, 01379 890237

In the Rickinghall Inferior churchwarden’s account book for the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries at Ipswich Record Office there is a loose sheet of paper giving a list of names of a group of men who walked the bounds on May 20th 1800 and on the reverse another list

for May 17th 1814. This was an event carried out on one of the three Rogation days preceeding Holy Thursday (Ascension Day) in Rogation Week, which was a moveable feast two weeks before Whit Sunday.

Twenty nine people walked the bounds in 1800 after the Rector announced in the church on Rogation Sunday that they would be doing this. The churchwardens and overseers organised the event and the church paid for the ale and food which amounted to £3.15s.6 ½d in the accounts. Thirty people were included on the list for 1814 and the expenses started with sixteen shillings at the Swan,

presumably for ale. The Swan later became the Black Swan and is on the boundary of Rickinghall Inferior, but on the Wattisfield side of Calkewood Lane on the old Turnpike Road. In the accounts nine shillings was paid out to labourers at eighteen pence each who had walked the bounds before. Three men were only paid one shilling each as it was their first time for going the bounds. The men who completed the course of over ten miles finished at The Bell as the accounts show a bill of £2.15s.8d which allowed two shillings each

for nineteen labourers for a dinner and they were also allowed three pints of beer each. The expenses of the overseer amounted to £6.4s.0d. bringing the total expenses to £10.7s.8d. In earlier perambulations the expenses at The Bell in 1775 for ‘going the bounds’ was £2.10s.4d, and in 1736 the expenses for the whole perambulation were only eighteen shillings. Many boundaries were defined by water and boys were often chosen to walk or swim through the water, and in some other parishes these boys were paid

half a crown. Boys were bumped against the trees or on the ground to help them remember exactly where the boundaries were.

Perambulations are mentioned in court rolls as early as the thirteenth century as a way of learning the boundaries of the village before maps were drawn. It later began to be a religious event when a group would walk round the boundaries of the village and prayers

would be said for the fruits of the earth and good weather. The minister was accompanied by the churchwardens and parishioners with the parish Cross, banners and hand bells and would walk the boundaries of the parish to rid their own parish of evil spirits and send them into the adjoining land. If they met a group of villagers doing the same thing from a neighbouring parish it would often end in a fight. By the early Tudor period it had also become a community event with eating and drinking, and some people left

money in their wills for this. John Cole, a Suffolk yeoman, left money for a cross to mark a boundary and also money for drink for the parish of Thelnetham to consume at this cross at ‘Short Groves

ende on Ascension Even’ after the gospel was read.

Henry VIII passed an Act in 1540 ordering “12 discrete persons of

each parish to make perambulations and to appoynt wher the

boundes shal extend”. It was extremely important for a parish to know its boundaries as each parish was responsible for its own poor

and from 1572 Overseers were appointed by the vestry. Prior to this the Churchwardens were responsible for a while. The Dolphin at Wortham was mentioned in a settlement order as Thomas Woods had worked in Wortham for 2 years from the age of 13 and had slept at the Dolphin. Eventually at the age of 38 he decided to get married and Eye was supporting him at this time as he was blinded after serving in the 12th Regiment of Foot. Eye then tried to pass him off to Wortham but the boundary of Burgate also passed through the pub and one of the two witnesses who had walked the bounds

twenty years before mentioned a beam in the kitchen as the boundary. As Thomas’s head in the bed above this was eleven inches in Wortham and the rest of his body in Burgate , neither one parish nor the other, he was deemed to be the responsibility of Eye, his birthplace. If a property straddled a boundary between two parishes the procession would walk through it. When Enclosure Award and Tithe maps were drawn up in the nineteenth century it was no longer necessary to walk the bounds as the boundaries of the

villages were clearly defined and the custom faded away.

Wortham in Suffolk, by Katharine Frances Doughty.

A man was driving along the highway when saw the Easter Bunny hopping across the middle of the road. He swerved to

avoid hitting the rabbit, but unfortunately the Easter Bunny jumped in front of the car and was struck by his car. The basket of eggs and sweets the rabbit was carrying went flying all over the place. The driver, being a sensitive man, as well as an animal lover, pulled over to the side of the road, and got out to see what had become of the rabbit carrying the basket. Much to his dismay, the colourful rabbit was dead. The driver felt so awful, he began to cry.

A woman driving down the highway saw the man crying on the side of the road and pulled over. She stepped out of her car and asked the man what was wrong. 'I feel terrible', he explained, 'I accidentally hit the Easter Bunny and killed it.

Children will be so disappointed. What should I do?'

The woman told the man not to worry. She knew what to do. She went to her car boot, and pulled out a spray can. She walked over to the dead, limp rabbit, and sprayed the contents of the can onto the furry animal. Miraculously the Easter Bunny came to life, jumped up, picked up the spilled eggs and candy, waved its paw at the two humans and hopped down the road. 50 metres away the Easter Bunny stopped turned around, waved and hopped down the road. 50 metres further on, he

turned again, waved and hopped another 50 metres, again he waved.

The man was astonished. He couldn't figure out what substance could be in the woman's spray can. He ran over to the

woman and asked, 'What is in your spray can? What did you spray on the Easter Bunny?'

The woman turned the can around so that the man could read the label. It said: 'Hair spray. Restores life to dead hair. Adds permanent wave.'

Australian daughter-in-law of the last owners, Mr and Mrs Clark,

who restored the cottage. She died young and they wished to remember her in this way.

Old Timbers and Flint Cottage are 17th century semi-detached cottages which were re-fronted with knapped flint in the early 19th century. The Francis family lived in Flint Cottage in the 20th century. Charles Francis died in the Second World War and his name is on the War Memorial.

Little Patches is a modern house on the site of the Rickinghall School garden allotments. Each school boy from Rickinghall School

had his own ‘little patch’ to garden. The story goes that in 1940s and 1950s the Head Master Mr. (Flogger) Reynolds would bring the boys to their patches then go to the White Horse for a beer while they worked! (5) It is possible that Flogger got his name, not from his readiness to use the cane, but because his initials were FLGR. (6)

..............................

During this year a group of us, calling ourselves Quatrefoil, will be

publishing various books on the history of Rickinghall, Botesdale

and Redgrave. I shall be writing about the houses in Botesdale and

Rickinghall, as well as those in the outlying areas of the two

villages, as I have been doing in the Parish Magazine, but with extra

information. If anyone has any information about their house, the

people who lived in it, or photographs, I would be really grateful to

hear from you as we want to make this information as

comprehensive as possible. My phone number is above.

From Inglenook Cottage to Little Patches - North side of the Street Two sets of semi-detached cottages are dated to the 18th century. Inglenook Cottage and Honeysuckle Cottage are the first two followed by Beame Cottage and The Four Horse Shoes. The latter was, for a time in the late 19th and 20th century, a beer house. In the mid 20th century it was David Bailey’s Dairy Farm and was at that time called Street Farm.

Maltings Cottages were built in the 18th century as part of the maltings complex which stood next to them. In a sales catalogue dated 24th February 1910 in which the Maltings were being offered

for sale it says ‘Also adjoining is a Double Cottage, one tenement

containing Two Sitting Rooms, Kitchen with copper, Pantry and

Two Bedrooms, and the other Sitting Room and Bedroom; together

with Sheds, Closets and Gardens, and [are] occupied by Mrs. Smith

and Edward Bailey, at rents producing £7 12 0 per annum. (1) In the 1980s the then owner Mrs Viel had the cottages ‘stone clad’. The Mid Suffolk District Council served an enforcement order on her to have the cladding removed as it had been done without permission.

However as she was in her 90s it was allowed to remain. It was removed at a later date when the cottages were renovated. (2)

Jubilee House stands on the land where Robinson’s Maltings once stood. The same Sales Catalogue from 1910 describes the maltings as having a frontage of 174 feet to the street and that it is comprised of ‘Two Steeps, with good water supply, 3 Pavement and Cement

Working Floors, and a total area of 7000 square feet. Two Drying

Kilns, 27-ft by 24-ft and 23-ft by 21-ft respectively, lately rebuilt

upon modern principle, with pitch pine lined roofs & ventilators,

and fitted with overhead tram rails for loading and unloading. Two

Furnaces and large coal stores. In the First World War the maltings were used by soldiers as a canteen. The Maltings complex was demolished in March 1926; this was documented by Edmund Farrer who took photographs at the time. The house was built in 1935 and named Jubilee House as it was the Silver Jubilee of King George V that year. In the 1940s and 1950s the Miss Warrens had their school here. It consisted of two rooms in the house. The whole class would

sit around one long table to be taught.

Jubilee House Barn is behind Jubilee House and is an 18th century former stable block to the maltings. It was renovated and is now a dwelling called The Nettis.

The Chestnuts were formerly called Malting or Accommodation Meadows. The houses here were built in the 1980s.

Tudor Cottage, Hunnypot Cottage, Tudor Oak Cottage and Cob Tree Cottage are in a row which used to be called Widows Row. They were originally divided into seven or eight cottages and because they

were very small, although not alms houses, widows tended to live here hence the name. (3)

The Old Chequers is dated from the mid to late 16th century. The listing says it was extended in the mid 17th century and the fireplace has the date of 1652 on it. It was an inn in the early 20th century but before that it was probably a beer house. In 1918 George ‘Joe’ Whistlecraft was charged at the Ixworth Petty Sessions for breaking windows at The Chequers. It was owned by Youngs Brewery at that time and Mr Leathers was the landlord. (4) Frank Pearce whose sons

Maurice and Ronald died in the Second World War was landlord here in the 1930s. It is now a private house.

The cottage, now known as Margaret Cottage, is where Mr. Bullock the builder and undertaker had his business in the mid 20th century. The two next door cottages, Rose Cottage and Vine Cottage were also part of his business. It is called Margaret Cottage after the

Master Crafts Fairs at Botesdale Village Hall

Saturday 6th April

May 25th - September 7th - November 2nd 2013 A group of dedicated craft workers and makers from the Suffolk/Norfolk borders are currently creating a new kind of craft fair.

Working under the name ‘Border Craft Collective’ this talented group of individuals is presenting four unique craft fairs throughout 2013 at the Botesdale Village Hall. Each fair will showcase up to 12 different crafts, presented by the maker with live demonstrations

and discussions. There will also be the opportunity to purchase one off unique items on the day or to commission pieces bespoke, just for you.

Peter Harding one of the founders of the Border Craft Collective said “At every fair I go to people always ask, do you make it yourself? And where are you based? It’s clear people like to own products that have a story and they also like to know as much as they can about how it is produced, this really adds value to a purchase”. Peter also commented “We wanted to bring together a

select group of individuals who are passionate about their craft and who are happy to demonstrate and promote it to others in a relaxed, informal environment”.

Twenty years on and he still gets choked off when he talks about it. His continuing turmoil is compounded by the relative leniency of the sentences. Twenty years on, when asked if it isn’t time to move on she says, “I've always said if there's a fight there to be fought,

then I'll fight it for James. If I let go of that now I will feel I've let James down. That is something I'll never do, I'll never let James down. I want justice for James. He's never had justice."

Twenty years ago, two eleven year old boys beat a two year old to death. The parents of that two year old are continuing victims of that crime. There are only too often, what I’ll call, secondary victims of crime. Parents, husbands, wives, friends and relatives are swept up in the anguish of others. What do we do in such circumstances?

This morning I heard a man I assume is in charge of Barclays Bank

say, “I cannot do anything about the past.” He is right none of us can do anything about the past, we can only affect the present and the future. The case above is a huge one but the principles apply whatever the size of the hurt we bear. We may be unable to control our initial reaction but at some time we have to sit down, think logically, ask ourselves some questions and produce some answers:

Do I want to make myself a continuing victim of that crime or hurt? Does the course I wish to take do me or anybody else any good?

Two wrongs make two wrongs. Is what I am doing right?

I hear the word justice used so often on these occasions. I hear the words of James Bulgar’s mother, “I want justice for James. He’s never had justice.” I suspect she would say that she is prepared to continue to take those hurts all her life in order to win justice for James.

Recently I was with a couple of people when one of them said, “We have to forgive Jimmy Saville.” As I was thinking how I might reply as he has never done anything to me, the other there said, “I

think I’ll leave that to God.” To the Christian, life does not end in death and we can leave it to him. The apostle Paul actually said, ‘Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”’

For those that don’t believe life ends at death and James Bulgar will never see justice whatever we do and making ourselves continuing victims in search for justice, is fruitless.

Peter went further than Paul in saying, “Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were

called, that you may obtain a blessing.”

He is saying that our hurts are cured as we seek to bless those who hurt us.

Since my last report we have had some very unpleasant cold weather with frost and snow. Side roads took many

days to clear and if, like us, you have a steep drive to ‘the highway’, it took a lot of constant snow clearing. However, there have been some most interesting sightings from local birdwatchers. A Merlin was seen in a Garboldisham garden. This bird is the smallest of our raptors. It nests on the moors of central England and in the

Scottish Highlands. It only visits East Anglia in the winter. It is slightly bigger than the Mistle Thrush, similar in colour to our male Sparrowhawk, but definitely smaller. Another winter visitor seen was a Woodcock. This bird is present all the year round but their numbers are increased from the continent in winter. It was cleverly photographed over the bonnet of the watcher’s car! (And emailed to me). By shape and colour he

thought to start with that it was a Snipe but realised it was much too big and nearer woodland, and not marshes. My sightings are rather insignificant in comparison, but I did have an interesting and rewarding walk past Broomhills and on to Spring Meadows in the snow. A Little Egret at the bottom of Maypole Meadow, a beautiful clean, white bird in contrast to the dark leafless wooded background. Then, on arrival over the bridge onto the

meadows, a Kingfisher was flying to and fro. With the failing winter light and from a sideways silhouette, not the easiest bird to recognise. In the poor light no flashing blue to be seen. However, the right size, dumpy shape, fast low and direct flight and the diagnostic long, thin bill. I saw another Kingfisher on the bridge back to Backhills, but it could have been the same bird searching the area for food. Also, on my walk, the well-known Barn Owl was quartering, and in

the distance, a Buzzard flew over. Then, just I was nearing the village, a single Lapwing flew up from the meadow. What a rewarding walk on an unpleasant day. Of other items of interest, the Chaffinch was singing again on 1st February. An Oyster Catcher was observed in Spring Meadows. This bird is often seen in our area. It is an obvious wader, with a plaintiff call, black and white plumage, a red bill and legs.

We have had a couple of Fieldfares feeding on the hips on our rambling roses on our terrace. It is interesting to see their colouring at close quarters. They are very possessive of their food and will ‘see off’ each other or a Blackbird which tries to interfere. Every winter I hope to see a Brambling, a Chaffinch-like bird that comes to us from Scandinavia. Recently a ‘watcher’ in Hinderclay

told me that they had had two or three on their feeders. I duly went to watch—a big garden full of feeders. I watched the Brambling’s usual feeder. Plenty of Chaffinches and Greenfinches. Then, after half an hour of being very patient, a Brambling appeared on the ground picking up the droppings from the feeders. A great event. I had not seen one for about ten years. Thank you ‘watcher’! Returning from my daily walk to pick up my newspaper from our

local newsagent I heard the repeated ‘screeching’ of a Tawny Owl. I thought this was very odd. It was not intermittent, but continuous. Could it be our ornithological mimic the Starling?

“In Your Garden” “In Your Garden” “In Your Garden” “In Your Garden” with Ian Shilling of Tripp Batt Country Store of Stanton We will soon be getting our mowers out for the first time this

year. There are one or two tips to help ensure that all goes smoothly. Fuel left over from the previous season may have gone stale and can make starting difficult. Remove this if possible and put fresh petrol in the tank. If this is the case and the mower won’t start, try replacing with fresh fuel. Always check your oil level before trying to start a mower, and top up if necessary. An engine which has been damaged

through lack of oil is often beyond repair. Also consider a complete oil change if this hasn’t been done for a year or more, and only use oil recommended for garden machinery (SAE 30 or 10-40) Replacing a spark plug can also be a cheap remedy to a starting problem. Remember to not cut your grass too short to begin with, and clear the lawn of any winter debris beforehand. A recycling tip – use old engine oil to protect the blades of spades and prongs of forks after each

use. Continue preparing vegetable seed beds. Some seeds can be sown under protection such as Peas, Brassicas, Broad Beans and Carrots. To help reduce carrot fly attack, sow in the early evening, and if possible alongside members of the onion family, as the smell from onions masks the smell of the carrots which attracts the carrot fly. Look out for Johnsons Seeds Carrot Resistafly, supposedly resistant to carrot fly.

It’s also time to use shelter your soil and emerging crops, using clear polythene cloches or a fleece membrane which allows water and light through, but protects young plants against frost. If you have hedges that will need cutting back, then try to do it before the birds start nesting, otherwise wait until mid-summer.

Happy Gardening!

Annual Jumble Sale This event took place on Saturday 2 February, and, despite the inclement weather, regular and new customers enjoyed the bargains on offer.

Thank you to all who supplied us, supported us and helped on the day and which resulted in some £632 being raised for village hall funds.

Rules of Chocolate Easter Eggs

• If you get melted chocolate all over your hands, you're

eating it too slowly.

• Chocolate covered raisins, cherries, orange slices and strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many as you want.

• Diet tip: Eat an Easter egg before each meal. It'll

take the edge off your appetite, and that way you'll eat less.

• If you can't eat all your chocolate, it will keep in the freezer. But if you can't eat all your chocolate, what's

wrong with you?

• If calories are an issue, store your chocolate on top of the fridge. Calories are afraid of heights, and they will jump out of the chocolate to protect themselves.

• Money talks. Chocolate sings.

• Chocolate has many preservatives. Preservatives make you look younger.

• The problem: How to get two pounds of chocolate

eggs home from the store in a hot car. The solution: Eat the eggs in the car park.

• Why is there no such organization as Chocoholics Anonymous? Because no one wants to quit.

Rickinghall Inferior Church Fabric Fund A very successful quiz with Fish & Chip Supper was held at Rickinghall Village Hall on 15 February. Fifteen teams sat down for an entertaining and lively quiz set by Jean Wright, assisted by John.

The Fundraising Committee would like to thank Jean and John for their continued support; to Richard at our Fish & Chip Shop; to RAHOF for the loan of equipment; The Heritage Circle for the loan of the sound system, and to the Chilean Wine Club for the supply of wine, and, of course, especially to the competitors for supporting us. The evening raised £376 for the Fabric Fund

Thank you everyone. Jean Sheehan

A Funny Story of How the Internet Began In ancient Israel, it came to pass that a trader by the name of Abraham Com did take unto himself a young wife

by the name of Dot. And Dot Com was a comely woman, broad of shoulder and long of leg. Indeed, she was often called Amazon Dot Com.

And she said unto Abraham, her husband, "Why dost thou travel so far from town to town with thy goods when thou canst trade without ever leaving thy tent?" And Abraham

did look at her - as though she were several saddle bags short of a camel load - but simply said, "How, dear?"

And Dot replied, "I will place drums in all the towns and drums in between to send messages saying what you have for sale, and they will reply telling you who hath the best price. The sale can be made on the drums and delivery

made by Uriah's Pony Stable (UPS)."

Abraham thought long and decided he would let Dot have her way with the drums. The drums rang out and were an

immediate success. Abraham sold all the goods he had at the top price, without ever having to move from his tent.

To prevent neighbouring countries from overhearing what

the drums were saying, Dot devised a system that only she and the drummers knew. It was called Must Send Drum Over Sound (MSDOS), and she also developed a language to transmit ideas and pictures: Hebrew To The People

(HTTP).

But this success did arouse envy. A man named Maccabia did secrete himself inside Abraham's drum and began to

siphon off some of Abraham's business. But he was soon discovered, arrested and prosecuted for insider trading.

And the young men did take to Dot Com's trading as doth

the greedy horsefly take to camel dung. They were called Nomadic Ecclesiastical Rich Dominican Sybarites, or NERDS.

And lo, the land was so feverish with joy at the new riches and the deafening sound of drums that no one noticed that the real riches were going to that enterprising drum dealer, Brother William of Gates, who bought off every

drum maker in the land. And he did insist on drums to be made that would work only with Brother Gates' drum heads and drumsticks.

Lo, Dot did say, "Oh, Abraham, what we have started is being taken over by others!" And as Abraham looked out over the Bay of Ezekiel, or eBay as it came to be known, he said, "We need a name that reflects what we are." And

Dot replied, "Young Ambitious Hebrew Owner Operators." "YAHOO," said Abraham. And because it was Dot's idea, they named it YAHOO Dot Com.

Abraham's cousin, Joshua, being the young Gregarious Energetic Educated Kid (GEEK) that he was, soon started using Dot's drums to locate things around the countryside. It soon became known as God's Own Official Guide to

Locating Everything (GOOGLE).

And that is how it all began. David Foley

Church Prayer/Healing Ministry Team As many will know we have a Prayer/Healing Ministry Team within our Parish. One aspect of it is a confidential telephone prayer circle which will pray every day for anyone who would like prayer for themselves or a loved one, either for health reasons or going through

a difficult time etc. This team has been in operation for many years. Many have been helped by it and have received comfort and healing, and have found that “prayer does indeed change things”. Originally, it was the brainchild of Beryl Waters. She was its leader and it has developed and grown over the years. Thank you Beryl.

There are now 85 people on this telephone circle in groups of 4-5. These groups include members of the Anglican, Parkview,

Methodist, RC and Cafe churches. Each group has one person who is the contact for the leader and is responsible for letting the members of their group know when a request comes in from the leader. We all know what to do and who to ring.

Sadly, Beryl has had to retire. Her leadership now has been taken over by Ruth Powell, 01379 898426 and Jean Bennett, 01379 890271. They are now responsible for passing on all prayer requests to the contacts of the groups. We are at your service and available at

all times. Do not fear to ring these numbers. Could I just ask that we have feedback as to the progress of your requests? Then we can pray accordingly and thanks can be given to God when appropriate. This is a very important part of this ministry.

There is also an Anglican weekly church notice sheet which is more public (optional). Named requests can go on this sheet for a minimum of 8 weeks and will be prayed for aloud every week during the church service prayers. After this period, unless a further request is received for continued prayer in this way, these names

will be transferred to the confidential prayer list and prayed for long term.

Again, I cannot overstress the need for feedback. It is always gratefully received.

Thank you Ruth Powell
