The View from the Top

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.

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 (jon007.wild@hotmail.co.uk), 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 Cathedrals East Window. Norleys 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 1920s and 1930s respectively. The altar was replaced in

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

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

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 ones 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.

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

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

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?

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.

An outbuilding at Peel Hall, Newton, Frodsham has had 8 high value mountain bikes and a green Kawasaki motorcycle stolen from it sometime between 01:00 and 06:00 Wednesday 13th June. The offender(s) entered through an insecure door. If you have seen any suspicious activity in the area or if you have been approached to purchase a mountain bike at a

Norley News July & August 2012

A Blue Vauxhall Insignia DA09 EHK has been stolen from an address in Townfield Lane, Frodsham sometime between the hours of 19:00 Wednesday 27th June and 01:00 Thursday 28th June. The vehicle keys were attached to the house keys and were removed from an insecure rear door to the property. If you have seen anything suspicious in the area at the material time or see any vehicle displaying the registration number detailed above please call the police. 3 Males have been seen acting suspiciously in the area of Willington Hall Hotel, Tarporley at approximately 01:10 hrs Thursday 28th June. They were seen to look through windows and when security lights illuminated, covered their faces and left the area in a vehicle (no further detail). If you have seen anything that could assist please contact the police. A compressor and strimmer was stolen from an outbuilding to a farm in Onston lane, Crowton mid morning Tuesday 3rd July. Around the same time a dark blue Ford Van was seen in the area with two males on board, they were described as being in their 20s. If you have seen this vehicle in the area or 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 doesnt 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 its 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 1in from shorter edge of cake. Dont 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

INGREDIENTS: 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. Place remaining half on top.
