View from the Vicarage July 2016 I have been thinking a lot recently about humility, and what true humility looks like.
I am not sure that many would even see humility as a virtue these days. In our ‘winner
takes all’ 21st century mentality I suspect many see humility as a weakness, a
shortcoming to be eliminated, and yet, as Chris ans, that is what we are called to be.
One of the finest examples of a Saint who exemplified humility was St Francis, and
indeed his sister in Christ, St Clare. St Francis of Assisi wrote this
‘You can show your love to others by NOT wishing that they should be be er
Chris ans.’
This quote was considered so untrue, so impossible that Francis should write such a
thing that for many centuries the ‘Not’ was deleted from the text! The pious in the
church deleted that ‘not’ as a simple mistake, because of course their own superiority
meant that Francis could not have possibly said this… and yet he did.
Francis and Clare delighted in all that we oppose, deny and fear; things like being
insignificant, poor, disparaged, being outside the system of power and status.
The biblical interpreta on of humility is probably best explained in the Bea tudes
(Ma hew 5:3-12) which of course begin with blessed are the poor in spirit (Probably
more easily translated as ‘blessed are those who know their need for God.’
When we are truly humble, we will of course become Christ-like as we will cease to
judge others, just to love them as they are, and that is what we are called to do.
Squashing our ego is a life long struggle, but knowing that we need to must be the first
step.
(To read further about the Franciscan views on humility I would thoroughly recommend
Richard Rohr’s book en tled ‘Eager to love’ – The alterna ve Way of Francis of Assisi)

· Looking ahead, the next Friends’
One of the reasons
that Penny and I
chose to move to
East Budleigh last
year was the sense
of community. The
weekend (11-12 June) demonstrated
what a wonderful village community
we have.
The Scarecrow Fes val was amazing …
I have been told that it was “one of the
best ever” and “the best since we
moved to the village”. This is down to
everyone who put out scarecrows and
those that volunteered to help in some
way from manning the Toll Bridge and
the Church Tower, through people
who had a s nt on a stall or exhibi on
to the catering team. Those who went
out and joined in the fun helped create
a vibrant atmosphere that several
visitors commented on.
We had a great double page spread in
The Budleigh Journal focusing on the
scarecrows – next year, I hope the
paper will highlight some of the other
events such as the kni ng in the
church, the Dog Show and the Classic
Cars.
I thank all the Commi ee, the Friends,
the volunteers and everyone in the
village for making the Scarecrow
Fes val a great success.
There are s ll some dona ons coming
in but the first count showed that we
raised over £3,000. In addi on, the
Kni ng Group raised £417 for the
charity Chris an Response to Eastern
Europe (C2REE).
event is a Harvest Supper in the
Village Hall on Saturday 24th

We have also organised an Autumn/
Winter series of talks in village venues:
· Wednesday 12th October:
‘East Budleigh’ by Sue Pyne
· Wednesday 2nd November:
‘Samuel Pepys’ by Tony Venning
· Thursday 1st December: ‘The

more details about these future events
will follow in the next Parish News.
If you have any ideas about events /

Square Circle Kni ng Group - we have had a very successful season again,
with 15 kni ers coming to knit together and 18 home kni ers and sewer ups of
squares. We have produced; - 44 blankets, 160 jumpers, 43 scarves, 39 hats and
various other items including toys, baby clothes (which we can't send to Moldova as
they swaddle their babies) and decora ve items. This year I realised we have been
“going" for 10 years and did a rough count of all the items we have kni ed in that
me and the result is approximately; - 266 blankets, 914 jumpers, 893 hats, 462
scarves, 102 pairs socks, mi s, leg & wrist warmers etc. plus many toys, puppets,
seasonal items, baby garments, blankets and shoe boxes. I reckon we have kni ed
over 26,600 squares in that me! We hope our efforts have brought some comfort to
the people of Moldova.
At this years scarecrow weekend we raised £454.30 with our table sale and the
church collec on and most of that will go straight to CR2EE to help towards the cost

East Budleigh with Bicton Parish Council
The Queen's 90th Birthday Award was presented to Cllr David Buss on behalf of the East
Budleigh with Bicton Parish Council and everyone associated with the Community Shop
and the prepara on involved in pu ng together the presenta on.
The Award ceremony was held on Sunday, 12th July at an East Devon District Council
Garden Party a ended by Councillors Buss and Barnard.
Here are the judges’ comments: Parish Councils –
1. Community Award. East Budleigh/ Bicton – expansion of community shop
The Judges saw the need for a community shop had been iden fied following closure of
the East Budleigh Post Office. It started small with a porta cabin and its success showed
that a community shop was needed and viable. The parish’s recent Neighbourhood Plan
evidenced the importance of the community shop to the local community. As a result of
fundraising, the new community shop is now a larger purpose-built premises selling a
wide range of goods including locally sourced produce and local cra s. The shop is
reliant on a network of volunteers and backed by the Parish Council’s ongoing moral
and financial support. The shop is also a community hub with a sea ng area - and in
2015 the Parish Council paid for and installed a table tennis table which further helps in
bringing genera ons together.
The next Parish Council mee ng - takes place on Tuesday 26th July commencing at
7.30pm in East Budleigh Village Hall. Plans available for viewing from 7pm.

News from Drake’s C of E School
This half term is very busy as we celebrate
so many of the children’s achievements (as
in last weekend’s spectacular Art
Exhibi on) and arrange the wide-ranging
events coming up before the end of term.
As well as comple ng our assessments of
all children’s a ainments and progress this
year, we are also preparing for the new
term and academic year. The new
Recep on year children have begun their
visits to school and the teachers are
beginning to put their minds to “Blast Off”,
the exci ng theme for all classes in the
Autumn Term.
Art Exhibi ons
What an ar s c weekend we had at the
Raleigh Federa on! The art exhibi on in
Salem Chapel was a resounding success as
expressed in the comments of many of the
visitors. Here are just a few:
‘Wonderful art- takes me back to my school
days!’
‘So impressed with the outstanding quality
of the art. Well done to the children and
their teachers.’
‘Children sang beau fully to open a
fantas c exhibi on in special surroundings.’
‘Wonderful to see all the children’s work
displayed so beau fully. Really proud!’
‘Wonderful display of children’s art. Great
that it’s shared for all to see.’
‘Loved it! What proud mummies and
daddies. Thank you to all the teachers too.’
‘So great to share their work with us all and
to get together with O erton. Thank you.’

‘It was lovely to see our grandson’s and his
friend’s work. They all seem to really enjoy
their work.’
‘What a fantas c exhibi on! Vibrant and
upli ing.’
‘Wonderful, making learning such fun!’
We would like to congratulate the children
on all their art work and say a special well
done to all those talented musicians and
singers who performed. (Especially to the
very brave soloists; Freddie, Honey, James
and Amelia who played their instruments at
the chapel.) Access to the chapel was
made possible by the kind support of
Richard Smith and Marj Crone-Smith, thank
you to them both for all their me over the
weekend. Also, a big thank you to our
‘Parent Governor for the Arts’, Emily
Glanfield, who helped to put up and take
down the exhibi on.
A note from The Arts Co-ordinator, Mrs
Karen Somerfield
A very big thank you to everyone who was
involved in preparing for the art exhibi on
of local ar sts at Drake’s! It must have
taken so much work and involved so many
different members of our community to
make such a fabulous event. I do know
that there were some adults who seemed
to be busy in school for most of the
weekend. I’m sure the event raised a lot of
money for school (which will go towards
reinsta ng the school bell) but most
importantly gave the local community an
opportunity to come into school and raised
the profile of art.

An impressive blindfold chess display by the American Grandmaster
Timur Gareyev took place at Oxygen House, Exeter on the evening 9th
June. He scored 8 wins and 2 losses while spinning many miles on a sta onary bicycle.
This meant he did not have sight of the chess boards and had to keep all the posi ons
in his head. (In many ways this was reminiscent of GM Pillsbury's famous blindfold
display at Barnfield Hall, Exeter, April 1902, on the birth of the Devon County Chess
Associa on. Some of his wins were against Devn county players.) The 2016 event was
very ably organised by Dr Tim Paulden of ATASS, Oxygen House, secretary of the Exeter
& District Chess League. The East Budleigh players present were very impressed
with Grandmaster Timur Gareyev's display and could not match him even though they
could see the board!
Towards the end of July, the Bri sh Chess Championships are being held at the
Bournemouth Pavilion. Many chess events are taking place there over two weeks
which will suit all age groups. Check out the web site at
www.bri shchesschampionships.co.uk/

Used stamps for Leprosy - There is a box just inside the door at All Saints Church
for people to leave their used stamps. The Leprosy Mission collects them as it helps raise
funds for this charity. Used stamps are a waste product - so please save them and put
them in the box. We didn't collect as many in the last 12 months probably due to the
amount of emails these days - so every one counts. The ar cle below from the Church
Times explains how the charity helps sufferers. Thank you - Pam Mayor.
A new project, CREATE (Civil Society
Organisations for Resource mobilisation,
Empowerment, Advocacy, Training, and
Employment), funded by a £925,000-grant
from the European Union, hopes to tackle
the stigma of leprosy and disability.
The three-year scheme, which started in
May, is designed to enlist Indian charities to
work with local-government bodies to raise
awareness both of the disease and the
difficulties faced by those left permanently
disabled.
The programmes officer for the Leprosy
Mission in England and Wales, Gareth
Shrubsole, is co-ordinating the project. “The
myths and fears are so strong that often
people will hide their symptoms from their
own family… Sadly, if left untreated, it leads
to deformities,” he said.
Leprosy, which most often occurs among
extremely poor communities without access
to clean water and sanitation, is curable with
a course of antibiotics. But the stigma
associated with the disease means that
sufferers are frequently cast out from their
villages and towns.
to find work, or start their own small
business. They will also be made aware of
their rights.
In another strand of the scheme, academics
from the University of Leeds will begin
research into ways to tackle the stigma that
attaches to leprosy.
Mr Shrubsole said: “This combination of
rights awareness, vocational-skills training,
and working with local governments and
employers will help thousands of people to
build a better future for themselves and their
children.”
Ms Yadav was among the lucky ones: she
found refuge in a leprosy colony in the city of
Allahabad, where she was given shelter and
treatment. She was cured; but she has been
left with a clawed hand and deformed feet.
With the support of the Leprosy Mission, she
now runs a stall selling bangles and tea from
a wooden hut on the banks of the River
Ganges. “I still feel the pain of being forced
to leave my home,” she said. “I think of my
family every day. But life is good now.”
The Leprosy Mission was founded by an Irish
missionary couple in 1874, after they had

Snippets of old East Budleigh by Gerald Millington…
On Budleigh Hill stood a co age. Built in 1731 it was opened as an inn in 1842, called
the Victoria , changing its name to the Prince of Wales in 1870. 10 years later the Rolle
Estates Agent is wri ng to the Vicar, Revd. Adams, and then the Chief Constable
expressing strongly the Estates wish to close the inn as they believed it did a great deal
of harm in the Village. He writes “I very o en volunteer on a Sunday evening to escort
Budleigh Salterton ladies who have been to O erton Church, past the Prince of Wales
because of the roughness that is so o en met with. With the Rolle Arms so near it is
impossible for anyone to say that the house is either a necessity or a convenience to
the public”. By 1888 the owner, John Williams is auc oning the inn and the Estate
bought it for £681.12.6. and closed it!
