A Couple of thank yous and a
request
The first thank you is for the used
postage stamps I have received, which
generate income for charitable
purposes. The second is for the gifts
for my parcel stall I am running at the
church summer fair.
Ladies, please remember to let me
have your old bras, as the Yorkshire
Air Ambulance are still collecting
them. See me for more details.

Preparing the Way
E
very year, in the month of June,
Adel Parish Church celebrates
its Patronal Festival. Adel Parish
Church is dedicated to God in the
name of St John the Baptist and 24th
June is kept as the day on which the
church throughout the world
celebrates his birth. Churches the
world over that are dedicated in his
name celebrate their Patronal
Festivals, strictly speaking on that
date, but with a more practical view,
on the nearest Sunday. A whole
weekend of events is planned here in
Adel. (See page 9 for details)
So, what do we know about John
the Baptist, and what is his significance
to the Christian faith?
In the Bible, John is mentioned in all
four Gospels, and in all cases he is
seen as the forerunner of Jesus, the
one who prepares the way for him.
The Gospel according to Mark begins
by stating, in relation to John, that:
As it is written in the prophet
Isaiah, ‘See, I am sending my
messenger ahead of you, who
will prepare your way; the
voice of one crying out in the
wilderness: “Prepare the way
of the Lord, make his paths
straight.” ’
So, John was given the task of
preparing the people to meet the
Messiah, Jesus, when he came.
In the Gospel according to John,
John the Baptist performs another
task in relation to Jesus. We are told
that:
‘The next day John again was
standing with two of his
disciples, and as he watched
Jesus walk by, he exclaimed,
“Look, here is the Lamb of
God!” The two disciples
heard him say this, and they
followed Jesus.’
So, from this arises the
understanding that John not only
prepared the way for Jesus, but also
pointed towards him, encouraging his
own disciples to follow Jesus.
Now all of this establishes a very
valid reason for dedicating a church in
the name of John the Baptist. All
churches exist to prepare people to
meet Jesus, to point towards him and
to encourage everyone to follow him,
and ours is no exception.
If you want to know more, and
want to experience how we fulfil this
role, then to quote the words of Jesus
himself, which appear later in the
same passage from the Gospel
according to John, “Come and see.”
With God’s blessings,
Ian

Changes to Services
I
n the near future there will be
some changes made to the service
provision here at Adel Parish Church.
The changes affect only the 8am Holy
Communion service and 6.30pm
Evensong service on Sundays; no
other services are affected.
As from the beginning of July 2017,
the 8am Holy Communion service will
be held only on the 1st and 3rd Sundays
of each month, and the 6.30pm
Evensong service will be held only on
the 2nd and 4th Sundays of each month.
So, for example in July 2017, services
will be as follows:
2nd July – 8am Holy Communion
9th July – 6.30pm Evensong
16th July – 8am Holy Communion
23rd July – 6.30pm Evensong
Please do make a note of these
changes so that, if you attend either of
these services, you ensure that you
come on the appropriate Sundays.
As always, the full list of services for
each month will be published on the
back cover of Adel Bells.

In Brief
Easter Flowers
M
any thanks to all who arranged
flowers at Easter. It really was
a welcoming and excellent display,
especially appreciated, as through
Lent we had no flowers at all.
Also thanks to Sylvia who never lets
us down with her cups of tea and
coffee and, of course, the shortbread
biscuits.
The Easter Flower Collection,
together with two small donations,
came to £300. A magnificent
total. Many thanks.

A bittersweet occasion
W
hat a splendid occasion this
was! I think nearly all the
congregation was there to share Liz
and John’s farewell barbecue at
lunchtime on Sunday, 7th May. The big
room at the Stables was full to
overflowing, with children playing on
the grass and the overflow on the
terrace outside.
Jay and Matthew cooked the beef
burgers, with Jenny and helpers from
the social committee in the kitchen,
cooking the sausages and organising
the tables. A long table in front of the
window was soon groaning with
salads of all varieties which members
of the congregation had brought, and
similarly there was a display of
delicious desserts in the little room
for those who had any room left after
the burgers.
It was a bittersweet occasion as we
were saying goodbye to Liz and John
after almost 30 years. They are
irreplaceable and will be very much
missed by us all, and I think they will
miss us, at least for a time until they
find themselves once again in the thick
of their new parish in Scotland. We
can’t blame them wanting to be near
their children and we can only wish
them many years of fulfilment and
happiness in their new home in
Melrose. Hopefully, they may visit us
from time to time – there will always
be a warm welcome.
We gave them some tokens and
hope they will buy something which
will remind them of us.
In the words of the ‘Sound of music’
- Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye ….

Farewell to a Bishop
Festal Eucharist with
Farewell to James,
Bishop of Ripon
Sunday, 30th April 2017
A
delightfully
sunny Spring day
saw hundreds of
people flocking to
Ripon Cathedral to
enjoy this Festal
Eucharist together in
fellowship and to say
a very fond farewell to Bishop James,
who was the Celebrant and Preacher.
The Processional Hymn “Longing for
Light” set the scene for a most
uplifting occasion. A most unusual
setting of the “Gloria in excelsis” was
enjoyed which was very pertinent to
Ripon Cathedral, having been written
by Edwin le Grice, Dean of Ripon
1968-84, and sung to the rousing tune
Cwm Rhondda.
Having spent time revisiting the
glories of this great Cathedral prior to
the service and, in particular, spending
time contemplating the Easter
Garden, the Gradual Hymn “All
heaven declares the glory of the risen
Lord” was particularly apt.
As always, Bishop James did not
disappoint in his sermon. Always
uplifting and thought-provoking, he
led our hearts and minds in praise,
thanks and worship.
The Cathedral Choir were, as
always, in extremely good voice and
beautifully sang the Motet : Surrexit a
mortuis (He rose from the dead) and
led us in contemplation with the
communion hymns: “The Lord’s my
Shepherd” “Such love, pure as the
whitest snow” and “As the deer pants
for the water”.
Following the Recessional Hymn
“Awake, awake: fling off the night”,
we were treated to the Organ
Voluntary: Prelude and Fugue in D by
Franz Schmidt – always an uplifting
experience to hear this great
instrument filling the magnificent
Cathedral as played by a master.
I am sure that you will agree: Bishop
James will be sadly
missed but we will
all be comforted
and will rejoice in
the fact that we
have been the
recipients of his
wise words, his
humour and his love. Carlisle’s gain is
our loss but he goes with our love
and grateful thanks for his ministry to
us and wishing him God’s every
blessing as he enters the next phase
of his life.

Hidden in Plain Site
M
ost of us, I am sure, at one
time or another will have
visited the Post Office at Ireland
Wood, noticed the hairdressers and
other shops, including a very pleasinglooking café : Keepers Café & Kitchen.
Not far from home, you may say, so
I’ll wait for a coffee. Yes, this is a
pleasing-looking café, but much lies
behind closed doors.
Did you know that, sitting on the old
Cookridge Hospital site, there is a
very special school? It is the first free
school in the country for young
people with Autistic Spectrum
Condition. It was founded by five
Mums who were concerned that,
upon reaching age 16, their children
were to become a statistic on the
unemployment register. The
Lighthouse Futures Trust, working
with Leeds City Council, takes these
young people who, with
understanding and training, are more
than capable and are most willing to
join the workforce, contributing
worthwhile skills and services to their
community.
And the café? Yes, the Keepers
Coffee & Kitchen is staffed by young
people who have been taught their
skills, learnt to cook lovely snacks and
lunches. They have learned customerand work-based skills, make their own
soaps, scarves and tray bakes to sell in
the shop. It is light, extremely inviting,
welcoming and is more than some-
where to find a bite and a coffee. The
café is stocked with a myriad of
interesting and inviting goodies as well
as having a section of pre-loved
clothes etc. The charity depends
upon donations of items of clothing to
sell to boost the takings of the café to
enable this amazing work to continue.
Youngsters also train for “Branching
Out,” a gardening service which
works with the young people to
deliver high-quality gardening
solutions to care homes and schools.
Mencap national statistics show that
only 5.8% of these young people ever
get into sustainable work and so
spend most of their lives relying on
benefits. The charity believes this is
inherently wrong when we can
actively change those outcomes to
80% by creating jobs for them.
The ambition of the charity is, by
working nationally with policy-makers
at the Department of Education, to
roll this model nationwide – a great
undertaking as they rely on donations,
grants and funds.
So, next time you are having a sortout at home, please remember
“Keepers” who will be most grateful
for your pre-loved items (and will give
you one of their delicious coffees to
say ‘thank-you’ for your generosity!)
and do pop in and support this
amazing initiative.

Adel Players’ Review
Adel Players had chosen “Broken
Glass” by Arthur Miller as their April
production. So what had a play about
a broken marriage set around a Jewish
household in 1938 in New York have
to offer Adel audiences? It soon
became obvious that the themes were
timeless, as relevant today as then. I
felt it gave a valuable insight into the
causes of domestic and racial violence
and showed the necessity of face-toface communication.
In her Director’s notes Beth Duce
wrote: “if our production gives you
plenty of food for thought, we will be
very content”. Box well and truly
ticked! I can see why Arthur Miller is/
was on the school curriculum – deep
issues woven into a powerful, gripping
theatre experience. Masterful! That
we could immerse ourselves in the
play is due in no small measure to the
professionalism of the Adel Players…
actors and backstage….the setting and
characterisation was superb.
The broken marriage comes to light
when the wife (Dianne Newby)
suddenly cannot use her legs, despite
there being no obvious physical cause.
Her husband (Rob Colbeck) visits the
family doctor and it becomes
immediately obvious that here is a
man not at ease with himself. As the
character unveils before us, we see
how he has repressed his Jewish
heritage and, losing part of himself, is
unable to relate to those around him.
This uncommunicated repression
erupts as violence, bringing the first
Act to a dramatic and shocking close.
It seems the paralysis has been
brought on by the wife reading
newspaper accounts of the horror
inflicted on Jews by the Germans on
“Kristallnacht” in November 1938.
She asks why it was allowed to
happen, where was the U.S. or
Britain? The reaction of the other
characters strikes us now, with
hindsight, as odd/wrong – “why care,
it is a far off country?” (Try
substituting Syria for Germany!). The
consequences of being passive can be
as damaging as being violent (in a
marriage or in a country).
One is led to ask why the
repression? This is not just relevant to
being Jewish – but is faced by all who
differ by race, religion, life-style,
poverty. There is this drive to
succeed, to lift the family out of
poverty, to blend in. A love of nature
and beauty comes out strongly in the
play. Many Jews were rural, but
poverty (and the need to be within
walking distance of a synagogue on the
Sabbath) meant that immigrants
became urbanised. Not having natural
beauty easily accessible, human beauty
becomes revered. This reminded me
that Miller (born to Jewish
immigrants) was married for five years
to Marilyn Monroe. As this play was
written in 1994, very late in his
career, I suspect some aspects of the
play may be auto-biographical.

News from York Gate
All the pots around the garden that
have put on a bulb display will be replaced soon with tender perennials
and annuals, some of the more exotic
Salvias, Fuchsias and Pelargoniums.
See the garden and then come and
view the new display of old photos
and text, selected by the heritage
team, on the walls of the Tea Room.
Early visitors can enjoy a light lunch in
the Tea Room, before a stroll around
the garden.
York Gate Garden is owned by
horticulturist’s charity Perennial.
The flowers have been abundant at
York Gate since February, moving
through bulbous waves of snowdrops,
daffodils and tulips.
Now the Allium buds are popping
up and remind me that summer is on
the way. Soon the purple pom pom
heads will be dotted through the canal
border along with Astrantia, Eryngium
and Thalictrum making a lovely wash
of purple and blue hues.
The White border is currently filled
with creamy tulips but they will
be succeeded by white geraniums and
Buddleja. Annuals will be planted
out in June that will give interest later
on the season, like the lovely Cosmos.
York Gate Opening hours
Sunday to Thurs 12.30 – 4.30pm

ur beautiful churchyard relies

necessarily every week.
here is no doubt about it. I am
getting old. All the signs are
there. When my Man calls me I often
don’t hear him. I walk quite well but
nowhere nearly as fast as I used to do.
Walks that once took half an hour can
last up to an hour.
So what has brought this on? Well, it
is partly due to the fact that I am
getting older, but also to the arrival, in
other branches of the family, of two
young pups. They never stop. It tires
me just watching them and fending off
their exuberant puppiness. But then, to
balance all this out is the fact that each
stage of my life (and they will find this
out for themselves) has had lots of
experiences - good and bad - which
have helped to make me who I am. I

Recently we’ve been having special
workparties to tackle jobs that don’t
need doing every week. These also
provide a good opportunity for anyone
who is interested in joining the team,
but would like to know a little more
first, to come and see how it works.
The dates for the rest of this year are
10 June, 29 July and 23 September
9am to midday. There’s no need to
come for the whole time, even half an
hour will be appreciated.
Nature Notes
S
ummer used to begin on the 21st
June – the summer solstice – and
it has always struck me as strange that
only three days later on the 24th June
we have Midsummer’s Day, which is
also – as we know quite well - St John
the Baptist’s day. Meteorologists have
now decided that, for their purposes
at least, summer begins on
1st June, and that June, July
and August are the three
summer months; a much
more rational
arrangement.
I still miss the Skylark’s song which
used to be so common over farmland
but I did manage to hear one
somewhere between Adel, Eccup and
Harewood. Bird song lingers into June
in the woods, but without the
exuberant abandon of May, as many
birds will be spending most of the
daylight hours searching for food for
their nestlings. Some of the early
nesters such as Blackbirds will be on
their second brood, and Blue and
Great Tits which are normally single
brooded will be fledging sometime
during the first couple of weeks –
depending on how easy it has been for
the parents to find enough food for
them.
Last year was particularly poor for
butterflies and the early emerging
species like the Small Tortoiseshell
and Peacock had a hard time, so they
need a good summer this year to get
numbers back to normal levels. We
will not know how successful they
have been until July or August when
this year’s broods hatch, but June
should see the emergence of several
species which have passed the winter
months as caterpillars or eggs, some
of which have been resident in the
churchyard in recent years. If they
have survived we should see
Ringlet, Meadow Brown and
the Small and Large Skippers
towards the end of the
month and they are likely to
continue through most of
July with some persisting
into August in a good year. Also
present in the churchyard is the
Speckled Wood which has an
extended season, possibly lasting from
April to September, which may
include two or even three overlapping
generations.
Another emerging in late June is the
Marbled White (not related to the
cabbage whites) which arrived in
Leeds in about 2006. At present it is
restricted to areas of limestone
grassland in the east of the city.
To look out for - In Golden Acre
Park hundreds of Common Spotted
Orchids towards the end of the
month.Turn right from the car park
tunnel and they are in the rather
boggy area between the footpath and
the high wall that supports the A660.
Probably our commonest orchid, but
well worth seeing.
Peter Larner
Words from Joyce Hill
The Epistles Continued
M
y article on the Pauline Epistles
has prompted requests for
information about the other Epistles.
The Gospels and Acts of the Apostles
are followed by thirteen Epistles, each
identifying Paul as the sender,
although he was probably not the
author of every one. The Letter to
the Hebrews does not start with the
standard greeting, but the signing off
sentence is typical of the letters also
found in other New Testament
epistles. No names are given in the
farewell clause. Hebrews is
traditionally regarded as one of the
letters of St Paul, (though not
considered so now) which explains
why it appears following those bearing
his name and before those claiming
other authorship: seven epistles
known collectively as the ‘Catholic
Epistles,’ of which one is attributed to
James, two to Peter, three to John,
and one to Jude.
Authorship of these seven epistles is
debated. ‘James’ was thought to be
the brother of Jesus: there is evidence
from the mid-third century, when it
appears to be accepted fact. Close
analysis of the text led many scholars
to reject this. Its date of composition
is uncertain, but late first century or
early second is most likely. The First
Epistle of Peter appears to be written
from Rome (if this is the city referred
to figuratively as Babylon in 5:13) to
all the Christian communities of Asia
Minor, encouraging them as they
experience persecution. If the author
is the disciple Peter, then it must have
been written before the presumed
date of his martyrdom in AD 65. The
Second Epistle of Peter is clearly
presented as if written by him as
there is a reference at 1: 18 to his
presence at the Transfiguration. It
differs from I Peter in important ways.
Several strong indications are that the
Epistle is perhaps c.150. Of the three
epistles attributed to John,
traditionally identified with the author
of the fourth gospel, the First, longest
and most important, is thought to
have been written by the gospelwriter (probably not the Apostle).
The two that follow are intimately
connected and thought to be by one
author: even in antiquity their
attribution to ‘John’ was questioned.
All three are difficult to date but,
most likely, come from c. 85-100.
The Epistle of Jude claims to be
written by ‘Jude …the brother of
James’ (v. 1), taken since earliest times
to be the Apostle. As it does not
mention the destruction of Jerusalem
by the Romans in AD 70 , it is
assumed to have been written before
that event took place.
How the various Epistles, came
together with the four Gospels, Acts
and Revelation to make the New
Testament is a topic for another
occasion.

Learning about birds
Sunday May 7th saw the first bird-walk
for the Friends of Lawnswood
Cemetery. It was a bird song
identification walk led by Linda
Jenkinson of Start Birding. A group of
about 25-30 had assembled in the car
park by 9.00 am where a red kite was
flying overhead.
Linda took this mixed ability group
through the varied habitat in the older
part of the cemetery. The Victorian
cemetery, with its stunning memorials,
proved perfect perches for the showoff robins and wrens! The open lawns
at the entrance and the Cross in the
Memorial gardens provided a different
habitat in which we saw a pied wagtail,
blackbirds and other ground feeding
species. But it was the trees that
provided the most sightings – a great
spotted woodpecker on a dead
branch, nuthatches and tits (blue and
great), a stock dove (heard but not
seen) and a tiny goldcrest …a total of
23 species were seen/heard.
Different calls and songs were
pointed out and tips given on how we
can develop our own skills in their
identification. We learned about the
breathing system in birds which allows
them to sing, without having to stop
and gasp for breath! We understood
why some birds – e.g. the bittern and
the wren have such loud songs –
especially for the size of the latter.
If one can recognise birds by their
songs, one can start to look for them
– and thus see a far greater number of
species. This didn’t apply particularly
to the tit family as they were simply
too busy feeding their young to sing.
They have a very small time in which
to fledge their chicks…whilst the tree
leaves are just emerging. The chicks
are fed on grubs, caterpillars etc.
found on new leaves. Grubs feeding
on older leaves ingest tannins, which
are fatal to the chicks. In fact we
learned that being a chick is perilous –
most don’t survive the first year, many
ending as food for larger birds.
I feel sure that everyone on the
walk learned a great deal – and we
learned facts about migration, that
“early fledglings” could be the female
being fed by the male (a courtship
ritual in which the female pretends to
be a chick, so she can assess how well
he cares for her, before accepting him
as her mate…clever bird!) and why
some species were under threat –
mainly due to their feeding or
breeding grounds being decimated –
as well as direct threats encountered
in their migratory patterns.

extremely knowledgeable guide and

the best small Arts and
Crafts style gardens
in the world.
Price £5 Sold in aid of
the Gardeners’ Charity
Perennial
You all know about our local world famous garden –
York Gate. Some of you will also know about the
Heritage Lottery Fund grant given to York Gate to
research its past. One of the outcomes of this is an
interesting book drawn together by Val Crompton.
You can buy the ‘Heritage of York Gate’ at York
Gate or at Adel Wood Stores. It may also be ordered
from Wharfedale Family History Group, see
www.wharfedalefhg.org.uk
If you have not visited York Gate in a while, you are in
for a real treat if you re-visit this year. Some overlarge trees have been removed and the garden has just
opened up and seems to be rejoicing in the new-found
space and light. Also, in line with Robin Spencer’s
vision, new craft work is in evidence. Why don’t you
come and see for yourself what is new this year?

History Evening at York Gate
E
arly in December 1963, Robin
Spencer, of York Gate, bought
an old copy of Ralph Thoresby’s
‘History of Leeds’ as a special
Christmas gift for his father. Sadly
Fred Spencer died from a heart attack
on 5th Dec 1963.
from 1704.
Details of Robin’s gift appeared in
the June 1967 Adel Parish Magazine.
From time to time these two large,
heavy volumes have been on display.
Thomas Kirke of Cookridge Hall is
featured in Vol 1 of Thoresby’s 1715
book. Kirke’s Woodland Garden is
now built over. Thomas Kirke used
circular intersections and vistas in
1697 when he created an amazing
woodland garden at Cookridge. Robin
used these ideas when planning York
Gate vistas. Fifty years ago, in June
1967, Robin Spencer (1934-1982)
gave Thoresby’s book to Adel
Church.
This book (in two large volumes)
had originally belonged to Rector
George Lewthwaite (1773-1854). It is
annotated with the Rector’s notes.
Vol 2 in this 1816 edition, contains a
detailed section on Adel Church with
many large engraved pictures of the
carvings. See example showing Adel
Chancel with the 1681 large stained
glass window and four hatchments
On Wed evening 28th June, at York
Gate there will be the opportunity to
see Thoresby’s History of Leeds:
Vol 1 Ducatus Leodiensis (or the
Topography of Leeds), and Vol 2
Loidis and Elmete, also transcripts
from Fred Spencer’s Journals, and old
photos of York Gate Farm.

Residents living
close to Long
Causeway have
been concerned
about damage to
the Causey Stones
caused by vehicles
parking on this
medieval
causeway. Many
residents refer to
the causeway as the ‘Roman Road’.
Some stones may have been taken
from the old Adel Roman Road and re
-used much later, as part of Long
Causeway.
Recently, a damaged section, by the
ancient stile, close to Adel St John’s
School, has been removed. A short
paved area with high stone-edged
kerb, with a bollard, is now in place,
next to the dropped kerb access to
the University occasional parking area.
The ancient stile and causeway are
protected as part of Adel St John’s
Conservation Area. See in Adel
Church Library, photos of Long
Causeway (page 23) and the ancient
stile (Page 46), taken over 20 years

Nobel Prize Winners
‘From Dark Satanic Mills to
Diabetes’
E
ver since the Cistercian monks
at Kirkstall Abbey began rearing
sheep and selling their fleeces to
European merchants, wool has played
a vital role in the story of Leeds - a
fact reflected in the city’s coat of arms
which depicts a hanging fleece. But
whilst wool and its products made
Leeds wealthy, it also gave the city a
Nobel-prize winning scientific team
whose legacy went far beyond the
textile industries of West Yorkshire.
In 1938, a young scientist called
Archer Martin arrived in Leeds from
Cambridge to work at the Wool
Industries Research Association
(WIRA) which was based in a
Victorian house called 'Torridon’ on
Headingley Lane. WIRA was
established at the end of the First
World War as one of several
research associations whose aim was
to maintain the competitive edge of
the UK against foreign rivals such as
Germany and the USA by improving
industrial output through the
application of basic science.
Ever since he was young, Martin had
been fascinated by chemistry and
whilst still a boy had built his own
distillation apparatus from a stack of
coffee tins filled with coke. It was this
technical skill which enabled Martin, in
1941, together with his colleague
Richard Synge to develop a novel
laboratory technique which allowed
the precise analysis of the basic
chemical building blocks that made up
the protein fibres in wool.
Known as partition
chromatography, Martin and Synge’s
method went on to become an
essential tool in biochemistry and,
although initially developed for the
chemical analysis of wool fibres, its
impact was felt far beyond the world
of textiles. Using this method, the US
biochemist Erwin Chargaff was able to
analyse the chemical composition of
DNA, the molecule of heredity, whilst
the Cambridge biochemist Fred
Sanger was able to unravel the entire
chemical make-up of the hormone
insulin which regulates blood sugar
levels. Both of these developments
enabled scientists in the 1970s to
produce human insulin from
genetically modified bacteria for the
treatment of certain forms of
diabetes.
In recognition of their
achievements, Martin and Synge were
awarded the 1952 Nobel Prize for
chemistry. The house in which they
did their work is now little more than
a ruin marked only by a lone gatepost
bearing the name ‘Torridon’, but the
impact of their work on biology and
medicine will always stand as a lasting
memorial to them.

and Philosophy of Science,

In Your Garden
Watering is essential
A
t the time of writing Adel is
experiencing a prolonged dry
period and watering is already
essential for most gardens. So this
month I have some advice on when,
where and how to water to keep your
garden looking at its best.
It is better to water the garden
before drought really sets in.
Light watering may encourage surface
rather than deep roots, leaving plants
more susceptible to drought. Instead,
better to make a single, thorough
watering of the plants that are
suffering. Try to water in the cool of
the evening or the very early morning,
so that less water is lost immediately
to evaporation.
Methods of watering
Most garden
watering should
be aimed
specifically at the
stem bases and
roots, leaving the
surrounding soil
dry. This helps to
limit weed
problems and ensures all the water
goes where it is needed. Hoses and
watering cans are best for this.
Sprinklers are effective for watering
the lawn but otherwise indiscriminate
and comparatively wasteful. Seep
hoses deliver water
accurately to
established plants
and plants in rows.
Tips for
economical watering
Removing weeds is vital, as weeds use
up valuable soil moisture reserves.
Established trees and shrubs do not
generally need watering but their
growth may be improved by watering
during prolonged dry spells. Trees and
shrubs planted less than five years ago
have increased water requirements
and may suffer drought-stress without
watering
Newly sown or newly planted areas
are particularly vulnerable to waterstress, and watering these should be
high priority.
Herbaceous perennials often need
watering to boost their performance
in hot, dry spells. If you are growing
vegetables or fruit these nearly always
benefit from regular watering.
Mulching with a layer of organic
matter or gravel at least 5cm (2in)
thick reduces moisture loss from the
upper layers of the soil.

Adel Neighbourhood Forum
Dismay as Planners approve
development opposite Adel
Parish Church.
Leeds City Council’s Plan Panel have
approved the outline planning
application by Hallam Land for the
development of the land opposite the
church to provide up to a 100 houses
and a new school. This decision was
taken in spite of fierce opposition
from the Adel Neighbourhood
Forum, our local councillors, our
MP and Historic England
(previously known as English
Heritage).
Historic England were very clear in
their objection that what was
proposed would harm the setting of
the Grade1 listed Church and this
was supported by our local
councillors, but was minimised by
Planning Officers and the Council’s
Conservation Officer. The council’s
lack of a five year land supply was the
critical issue and the driving influence
for the majority of councillors on the
Panel to approve the plan.
Having been granted outline
approval it is now for the developers
to come up with a detailed plan as to
how they can incorporate 100 houses
and a school on this site. The land on
the east side of the beck is to be
used for the playing fields for the new
school but this will require a 2.4
metre fence that it is hoped by the
council’s conservation officer can be
screened with hedging to suggest old
field boundaries. The Neighbourhood
Forum has serious concerns that the
unimpeded views across the fields
that have been a characteristic of this
landscape will now be blocked. The
planning officers stated that the fence
would be no nearer the church than
136 metres. Members of the
Neighbourhood Forum will be
keeping a close eye to ensure that this
is not breached.
We recognise there will be
considerable disappointment in the
local community to this decision including many who are not
immediate members of the church
congregation and we will offer to
work closely with the developers in
scrutinising their plans. Agents on
behalf of the developers Hallam Land
and David Wilson Homes have stated
publicly ‘We are pleased with the
outcome and look forward to working
with the council and community on
the detailed application over the
coming months.” The circulation of
250 leaflets to residents in Centurion
Fields and nearby households
informing them of the proposals and
inviting questions was little more than
cursory consultation-the Forum will
expect much more this time round.
The Forum’s position will be to
ensure that whatever is proposed is of
a high quality design, blends in
sympathetically with the landscape and
provides the mix of housing that you
have consistently told the Forum is
needed. We will also be closely
examining the developers and
highways proposals for allowing traffic
for the school and housing on and off
the A660. Highways have decided
against a traffic light controlled
junction opposite Kingsley Drive to
minimise delay on Otley Road,
preferring to see the installation of a
staggered junction. Access to the new
development through Centurion
Fields will be permitted during the
construction phase but this will be
blocked when development is
completed.
We reminded the Plans Panel that
we believed there was likely to be an
increase in traffic on Church Lane
avoiding the congestion on Otley
Road and with the increased
likelihood of ‘school run’ parking
linked with the new school. It is
intended that traffic calming will be
introduced on Church Lane.
There is a proposal by Highways to
tarmac and widen the historically
significant Corpse Way to allow for
increased pedestrian and cycle traffic.
Again this appeared to highlight a lack
of sensitivity to local feeling.
At time of writing the Department
for Communities and Local
Government is now considering
whether the decision is sound and
whether it can be released back to the
Council for implementation or
whether they should be invited to
look again at the case. We welcome
the intervention by the Secretary of
State and await the outcome.

June
Junior Church is held during term time. The children start in Church at the
10am service with their families, they then leave with the leaders and, after their
own input in the Stables, re-join the congregation for communion and the last
part of the service
On the 3rd Sunday there is a 10am All Age service, with communion, and
children are welcome for the whole of the service in church.
