In Memoriam
Kenneth Oliver (19th October 1931 - 9th October 2017)

Ken move to Poulshot from Liverpool where he was an apprentice electrical engineer in the ship
yards. After the completion of his training and a spell at sea, he joined an insurance surveyor
and inspector of electrical installations in large commercial buildings.

Ken and his wife Marion moved to Poulshot and lived in the bungalow to the North of the Raven
for 53 years.

The couple happily raised two daughters Jenny and Lisa.

Ken was a good all round sportsman, playing Cricket for Poulshot and Table Tennis in the Village
team for thirty years where he became one of the best players in the Devizes League.

On his retirement from energetic sport he took to bowls and it is understood from his colleagues
he also excelled at this.

Poulshot sends condolences to Marion his wife and their daughters Jenny and Lisa.

"Oldest barmaid in Wiltshire” set to ridicule herself once again

You may remember last year I ran

somewhat slowly 3k around the
streets of Devizes, with the huge
generosity of friends, relatives,
customers, colleagues and Nathalie
and Jerry at The Raven I managed in
a couple of weeks to raise the
fantastic sum of £1000. So I thought I
would give it another go this year and
increase the distance to 5k and
increase the fundraising to
commence from November. 

So my pot will be standing on the bar once again this Christmas for anyone wishing to
donate.A donation will be required for any of you wishing to use The Raven taxi over the
festive period (or possibly brave enough)

Let’s see if we could get somewhere near last year's fantastic total. 

Hope you all have a fantastic Christmas and a very healthy and happy New Year. xx

Did you know that the culmina9on of the whole
Chris9an year is on 26th November. “That’s a date
I don’t recognise” you may be thinking, but
actually it’s the day we celebrate Christ the King .
He has been through everything , born, grew up,
ministered to so many , died was buried , rose
again , appeared to so many, and eventually aAer
all that we finally celebrate him as the heavenly
King. Alleluia, and then on Advent Sunday , 3rd
December it all starts again; the beginning of the
Chris9an year.

One of the wonderful things about the Chris9an year is that there are so many fes9vals to mark and to
celebrate. Its not just about Christmas , or indeed Easter ; there are all those other fes9vals . Advent
Sunday is one of the very special ones and is marked par9cularly in cathedrals up and down the land. If you
have never been , put it on your to do list , to go to one of the Advent carols services in Salisbury
Cathedral. It is absolutely spectacular. It starts with the cathedral in total darkness and silence and then
just one candle is lit and everyone is aware ; and gradually the cathedral is bathed in candlelight with
fabulous music throughout it all, un9l the whole cathedral is full of light and sound and glory.

That’s what Advent is about, watching and wai9ng , with growing an9cipa9on, un9l one day, 25th
December, Christmas comes. The children know about the an9cipa9on, and whilst they make enormous
lists for toys that they want, they have within them the understanding of the mystery and wonder and of
course love that goes with it all. They share the joy and excitement of their school ac9vi9es ; of their
na9vity plays and carol services and Chris9ngle services , and anyone who has been to a Chris9ngle service
will know what I mean. The light reflected in the children’s eyes is never to be forgolen. These services
are there for everyone . I do hope you manage to alend at least one.

There may be some of you who find the Christmas season difficult; maybe you feel lonely, or maybe this
will be the first Christmas without a loved one , and so what I say is this. Jesus was born as a lille baby, and
that is a cause of great joy for everyone, but his promise is to be with us in our hour of need; to walk
alongside us when things get tough ; to be there with us when all the rest of the world seems so far away.
If you can, come along to church and feel the love that is there for you , and hear the Christmas message
that the shepherds experienced, the angels sang about and the wise men travelled so far to find, and that
message is that the one Almighty God sent his lille baby son to be with us to show us the way and to show
us that we are all included and to show us that we are all loved .

I hope you all have a very happy Christmas.

Jane Knowles

Our new Rector, the Revd. Alison Bridewell will be leading the Chris9ngle service on 7th December in
Seend, at 6pm and she will also be taking the benefice Eucharist on 31st December .

 Sec4on 16 of the Commons Act 2006
Proposed de-registra4on of common land/town or village green at:
POULSHOT VILLAGE GREEN – VG 16
1. Poulshot Parish Council and HGF Homes Ltd have applied to the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and
Rural Affairs under sec9on 16 of the Commons Act 2006 for land forming part (130m2) of the above
men9oned registered village green (the “release land”) to cease to be so registered. The Planning Inspectorate
will decide the applica9on on behalf of the Secretary of State.

2. The purpose of this applica9on is to enable the resurfacing of the access in bonded gravel and to formalise its
width to permit suitable access to new residen9al development (totalling 9 dwellings of which four are to be
affordable dwellings) in place of an exis9ng gravelled driveway. This redevelopment at Higher Green Farm was
granted planning permission in May 2015 under planning permission reference K/59951/F.

3. It is proposed that land totalling 200m2 (the “replacement land”) be registered as Village Green in place of the
release land. For informa9on, this will form part of a larger area (1.2 acres) which will be dedicated to the
parish. Change of use planning permission to allow informal recrea9on over this 1.2 acres has already been
granted under planning reference 15/12305/FUL in February 2016.

4. The release land is described in the First Schedule to this no9ce, and the replacement land is described in the
Second Schedule.

5. A copy of the applica9on form and accompanying documents can be inspected at Poulshot Village Public
No9ce Board, outside the Village Hall, opposite The Raven Public House, The Green, Poulshot or at Wiltshire
Council, County Hall, Bythesea Road, Trowbridge, BA14 8JN between the hours of 9am and 5pm Monday -
Friday un9l [14th December 2017], and on the following website: hlp://www.poulshot.org.uk/parish-public-
no9ces/. A copy of the applica9on may be obtained by wri9ng to RCC Town Planning Consultancy, Sandcliffe
House, Northgate Street, Devizes, Wiltshire, SN10 1JT or by email to info@rcctownplanning.co.uk

6. Any representa9ons in respect of the proposed de-registra9on and exchange should be sent in wri9ng ON or
BEFORE that date to: Common Land Team, The Planning Inspectorate, Room 3/25B, Hawk Wing, Temple Quay
House, 2 The Square, Temple Quay, Bristol BS1 6PN or commonlandcasework@pins.gsi.gov.uk

7. Representa9ons sent to The Planning Inspectorate cannot be treated as confiden4al. They will be copied to
the applicant and possibly to other interested par9es.

FIRST SCHEDULE
(The release land)
130 square metres of land towards the north of Poulshot Village Green (Register Unit VG 16), The Green,
Poulshot, Devizes including the exis9ng gravelled farm access which then goes on to serve buildings to the
north of Higher Green Farm, centred on OS grid reference 397026 160126, edged red and indicated by the

A Successful Coffee Morning

In spite of the dreary weather, St. Peter's Church held a very pleasant Coffee Morning in The Old
Rectory on Saturday 18 November. There was good coffee accompanied by lovely homemade
cakes, scones and mince pies, and items to buy from The India Shop stall, the book stall and the
cake stall.

In addition, and most importantly, people contributed generously to the Charity Raffle which raised
a very pleasing £130. This was in aid of Wiltshire Sight which is based at St.Lucy's Sight Centre in
Devizes. Wiltshire Sight provide support for partially sighted people of all ages, of whom there are
over 23,000 in Wiltshire, so it is a most worthy cause. When the money was delivered to St.
Lucy's, they were delighted, and wish to pass on their thanks to all who donated.

St. Peter's thank all who attended, all who made cakes, etc. and, especially, Kate and Nicky
Hunloke for hosting the event in their welcoming home.
