Dear Everyone,

Wendron Well

It is a surprising thought that Wendron Street in Helston does not lead

to the Redruth Road where Wendron Church is situated. Rather it leads

to Falmouth Road, through Trelil & Trewennack & beyond.

Wendron Street therefore leads to Trelil where Wemdron’s Well is to be

found, set back back about 100 yards or so from the road to Falmouth.

The well has recently been restored and repointed and a much

appreciated path has been created (& kept mown) to the site of the well

itself. It is possible to park a car near the beginning of this path which

leads to the well making the minimum distance to travel on foot to be no

more than 100 yards.

But you can walk further than that if you want! There are some very

ancient Celtic crosses not too far away from the well in that part of

Wendron parish also to the boundary with Constantine. Indeed some of

the historic crosses are in Constantine itself.

If anyone would like to plan a short pilgrimage route through Wendron

parish ( and perhaps further afield) using available footpaths please

can they contact me

Bishop Chris walked with members of the Wendron congregation at the

conclusion of the confirmation service at Wendron in which Christopher

and Chloe Douglas were confirmed on Sunday July 8th. It was

altogether a red letter day for us & as Christopher & Chloe begin their

journey as confirmed Christians, a journey that will last a lifetime, I am

looking for ways in which we as pilgrims can make a journey on

footpaths around some of the sacred sites in Wendron parish and

perhaps beyond

Yours sincerely

David Miller, Rector of Helston and Wendron

the time, Grandson Mark took her place. Both travelled to Windsor on

March 28th, checked out the route to St George’s Chapel & duly arrived

Ringing out for Peace- Battle’s Over The Nation’s

Tribute – 100 years of Remembrance

Armistice & commemorations will take place across the country to mark

the event. Details can be found on line at http://brunopeek.co.uk/wp-

Helston Ringers will be joining the many other ringers from around the

country in ringing a muffled peal at 7.05 pm after the beacons have

at 7.05pm that night

Hi Folks, it’s me “Jacob” again, still hoping

to get my position as Magazine Canine

Correspondent confirmed. You will see that

the Rector has written all about Wendron

Well. so I thought I’d give you exact

instructions of how to get there. I took the

Editor on a walk to find it and he confused

me as he mistakenly seemed to think it was

on the Wendron side of the Falmouth Road. Anyway, I soon put him

right as I’m a bit of an expert on “going walkies”. It is really easy to find

but, if you are walking, mind the busy traffic on the Falmouth Road.

Just after you pass Trellil Caravan Site, take the next entrance on the

right,- just past Trellil House. If you go by car you can park by the side

of the lane about 50 Yards in. Then walk a few yards more and the

grass path is on the left and goes down towards the big trees in the dip.

We were there in no time and I went inside and got into trouble for

getting my paws muddy. However, the ground is quite firm so long as

you don’t go too close to the stream which runs alongside. We took a

photo of the Well for the front cover of the Messenger- I hope you like

it!

A Good Deed may lead to greater things!

His name was Fleming, & he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day,

while at work, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog. He

dropped his tools & ran to the bog.

There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming

and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what

could have been a slow and terrifying death.

The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up at the Scotsman's humble

cottage. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced

himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved.

'I want to repay you,' said the nobleman. 'You saved my son's life.'

'No, I can't accept payment for what I did,' the Scottish farmer replied

waving off the offer. At that moment, the farmer's own son came to the

door of the family hovel.

'Is that your son?' the nobleman asked. 'Yes,' the farmer replied

proudly.

'I'll make you a deal. Let me provide him with the level of education my

own son will enjoy If the lad is anything like his father, he'll no doubt

grow to be a man we both will be proud of.' So that’s what he did.

Farmer Fleming's son attended the very best schools and in time,

graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London, and

went on to become known throughout the world as the noted Sir

Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin.

Years afterward, the same nobleman's son who was saved from the bog

was stricken with pneumonia. What saved his life this time? Penicillin!

The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill.

His son's name? Sir Winston Churchill!

Pilgrimage to the Holy Land (continued) from Francis M Searle Herodium, built by Herod the Great in 37 BC as a desert fortification,

like an extinct volcano, he built towers around the top and palaces

below. Frescoes on remaining walls remain & a classical Roman bath

house & one of the earliest synagogues. It was one of the largest and

sumptuous compounds of the Roman empire. Herod died in Jericho in 4

BC and was taken to Herodium, Herods Mountain, to his mausoleum on

the upper slopes. This was discovered in 2007 by Professor Ehud

Metzer after a 35 year search. Archeolanous, Herod’s next of kin who

organised Herods funeral from Jerusalem, became Tetrach of

Jerusalem. 17

In “The Messenger”-Ten Years Ago

we were saying Congratulations to Paul &

Freda Phillips who celebrated their Golden

wedding on 6th July 2008

When asked where they met, Freda and Paul gave

the surprising answer, “in court” & then

explained that Paul left home near Leedstown at

the age of 16 yrs to join the Metropolitan Police

cadet Force. As part of his training he was attached to the Warrant Office at the

local magistrates’ court; but long before that Freda & friend, who worked in her

father’s nearby Sub Post Office, made a weekly lunchtime visit to the court office

for tea & cakes, the girls provided the cakes and the court officers provided the

tea! All were well known to each other as the Post Office was where all the court

correspondence was posted Love blossomed, & Paul was only too pleased to be

sent on the ‘Post Run’ They courted for about 18 months & at the age of 20 they

married. Approximately 2 years later, in 1960, Richard was born followed by

Ruth in 1962.

Paul left the Police in 1967 & with Freda arrived at Porthleven where they ran a

small hotel. Paul subsidised the family income by making use of his Police

driver training & opened a driving school. He taught approximately 1,000

people in and around the Helston area. When they sold the hotel they moved to

Helston, where Freda had a number of jobs around town.

Paul has been involved with much voluntary work & was involved with Victim

Support for almost 30 years.. He qualified as a cricket umpire, held various

offices in the Church including Church Warden & was a member of the Town

and County Council. He was Helston’s Mayor in 2004-6. He also a trained as a

volunteer with the National Coastwatch. Freda was in the church choir for some

years but has not enjoyed the best of health in recent times. Nevertheless she has

supported Paul in all he has done. Paul & Freda have four grandchildren,

Oliver, Stephanie, Joshua &Alice

__________________

This means of course that we must now Congratulate Paul and

Freda on their Diamond Anniversary – Best wishes to you

both!

The Sanctus Bell. Someone asked recently why the Sanctus bell is

rung during the Eucharistic Prayer.

The word “Sanctus” means “Holy” and the prayer which concludes the

Eucharistic preface is “Holy, Holy ,Holy Lord, God of power and

might” which comes from Isaiah ch6,v3.

In former times when services were held in Latin and most of the

congregation was illiterate, a bell or gong was sounded in the church to

alert people to the fact that the most sacred part of the service (the

Sanctus) had commenced. The practice continued even after the service

was said in English as it was not always easy to hear the priest who

celebrated communion facing East with his back to the congregation,

often behind heavy rood screens & of course with no modern sound

systems as we have today.

Many churches still like to ring a bell or gong in church but we & many

other churches just toll the church bell as the priest consecrates the

bread and the wine. This is not so much to alert the congregation to the

sacred part of the service, (hopefully, they will be paying attention!) but

to alert people in the town and surrounding area. There may be people

who cannot attend church through age or infirmity, or for some other

reason, and if they wish, they can listen for the bell and join in the

“communion” in their own private way.

So, if you are not at church listen out for the Sanctus bell and say a little

prayer. Apart from it being rung on Sundays at Helston & Wendron you

may hear it in Helston on Thursday mornings. A prayer whilst you’re

shopping or at work wont go amiss!

Many will know that the Sanctus bell was rung in Helston for many

years by the very faithful servant of the church Melville

Roach. For30+ years he also climbed the tower to put up

the flag on every Saints Day & wound the church clock three

times per week in addition to maintaining the bells in good

order.He was one of the many who work behind the scenes

seeking no reward. Sadly he has now passed on though

fortunately we have our Tower Keeper, Roger Nott, to fly the

flag & maintain the bells. Fortunately the church clock is now wound

automatically by an electric motor.

Hoping you have had success with your flowers, shrubs & vegetables.

We still need to pay attention to runner beans so keep them watered.

The lower leaves of tomato plants can be removed to assist with

ripening of the fruit. It pays to only have 5 or 6 trusses inside & only 3 or

4 inside. Your fruiting canes that were last years growth should be cut

down to ground level & this years canes tied in to your structure.

Destroy all cut canes.

In Sept. give your fruiting plants & your shrubs a good mulch of manure

or compost. Continue to dead-head flowers to give you more blooms. In

August, wallflowers may still be planted along with Brompton stocks &

sweet-williams flowering next spring.

August is a good time to sow seed of Swiss chard & spring cabbage or

buy plants from a garden centre. You can take cuttings of geraniums

for next years plants. Take a strong cutting 3 to 4 ins long, remove the

lower bud & all but 3 leaves at the top. Put them around the edge of a

clay pot filled with 25% grit & 75% moist soiless compost, best kept

indoors or a cold greenhouse. You can also take cuttings in the same

way from other flowering plants & shrubs to propagate them.

Enjoy your gardening. Ron Allen ***************

Wendron Bits & Pieces

We were very pleased to welcome Bishop

Chris for the Confirmation at our church on

8th July and as mentioned by Rev David, it

was a red-letter day for us all to see

Christopher and Chloe Douglas get

confirmed & take their first communion.

As usual our ladies put on a splendid spread of refreshments afterwards

and we are most grateful to them for all their hard work.

Fundraising for our building project continues but there is not a lot of

news during this summer period. Hopefully you will all be refreshed

during the wonderful summer that we are having. Best wishes to you all.
