Benefice of Wrington with Redhill, Burrington and Butcombe

Wrington PCC Annual Report 2021

We strive to be a Christ-centred Church and wish to be welcoming, compassionate, inclusive and prayerful,

playing a full part in village life, willing to embrace change.

Section 1: Introduction

2021 was the second of a five-year commitment by the PCC to concentrate on the following four mission objectives (developed by the PCC in 2019). Despite a second year of Covid, and responding to its challenges, we have nevertheless made steps in our pursuance of these goals.

Spiritual - attend to our own spiritual life, becoming increasingly dependent on God’s grace so that we live and tell Christ’s story

Little did we think when we set this goal how we would be forced to attend to our own spiritual life, hampered by the ability to worship or gather together. However this is the opportunity with which we have been presented over the last two years. Nevertheless, by God’s grace there has been much evidence of spiritual growth throughout the benefice, not least with the opportunity to reflect a little more away from the business of life.

Fellowship – enjoy a varied diet of worship, prayer and teaching so that we may grow in faith in God together In spite of the obvious challenges in meeting for fellowship, we have learnt to gather in different ways e.g. Daily Retreat, Redhill Ramblings. We have also learnt to meet together for worship and teaching by

2

zoom. The Covid crisis has, however, reminded us of the joy of meeting collectively for worship.

Community – by discovering where the Spirit is already moving in our parish, affirm and develop new ways of joining with the work of God’s love

With the need for social distancing, being part of our community has been particularly difficult with many of our activities cancelled. Nevertheless, we have enhanced our work e.g. developing the quarterly pastoral tea parties at All Saints and Redhill’s ‘Coffee and chat’ now taking place in the Club. David was recently appointed chaplain to the Football club and Andrew has taken on substantial additional responsibilities as School Governor.

Stewardship – ensure that our building and finances play an integral part in the mission of the Church

The organ refurbishment was completed ahead of schedule and within budget. Plans are now at an advance stage for the repairs to Christchurch – with the necessary fundraising seen as an opportunity of involving the wider community in the life of the church.

Section 2: FINANCE STATEMENT

All Saints’ Treasurer’s Report 2021

During the year a number of major projects were completed – the refurbishment of the organ by Andrew Cooper & Co, completion of repairs recommended in the last Quinquennial survey, installation of a roof alarm,

5

and resurfacing of the church path. The latter was assisted by a generous contribution from the Friends of Wrington Churchyard. All of these projects were funded by a combination of donations, grants, the balance of £20K drawn from the Brook House Fund in 2020, and cash reserves.

Expenditure on day-to-day items such as administration, heating, insurance, churchyard maintenance, etc, were mostly within budget.

For 2022, a balanced budget is forecast, provided that expenditure is carefully controlled. However, the church will be subject to cost increases in gas and electricity in particular. The Diocese have also indicated that Parish Share will rise next year.

Gabrielle Wilson, Hon Treasurer

Christ Church, Redhill Treasurer’s Report 2021

The Closing Balance on the Current Account at £6,753 represents just over 6-months cover of normal expenditure and a deficit on the year of £3,395. This against what started out as a Balanced Budget. However, a major influence on this was a delay in HMRC processing our Gift Aid application. In February 2022 we received a Gift Aid Rebate of £5,981. Had we received this within the calendar year 2021, which would have enabled us to make our Charitable donation in full, a Balanced Budget would have been achieved.

6

All financial liabilities, including the Parish Share, were paid in full within the year. There were no exceptional expenditures during the year.

Note should be taken in the Fabric Fund that closed the year at £1,891. The church anticipates undertaking major works on the Chancel Roof during 2022 costing approximately £35,000, which it anticipates funding through:

£20,000 Released from the Stimpson Fund £7,000 Fund raising by the congregation within Redhill £8,000 Grant Funding

All Saints’ Church Statement of Financial Activities 2021

Explanatory Notes

RECEIPTS

The Music Fund invested with CCLA was drawn down in its entirety and was added to the funds used to carry out refurbishment of the organ.

PAYMENTS

11

  1. Parish share makes up the majority of this sum (£59,764) together with Clergy expenses.

  2. 8.Major repairs – includes completion of all remedial work required by the last Quinquennial Report, installation of a roof alarm, and resurfacing of the church path.

  3. 9.Administration costs – see Further Analysis pages for details.

  4. Mission – includes Messy Church costs and school activities, plus donations to charities supported by the church.

BANK ACCOUNTS

The church has four bank accounts to ensure that funds are held in the appropriate account for each purpose. The main current account continues to be used for dayto-day expenses and receipts, with a significant balance being held in the Business Reserve account to maximise income from interest, although these are also unrestricted funds that can be used for any purpose.

The Brook House account is used to hold any funds drawn down from the Brook House investment.

The Restricted Funds account is used for any funds raised for a specific purpose, eg. In 2021 donations and grants towards the organ repair were held in this account.

12

INVESTMENTS

Unrestricted funds

Miss Stimson’s bequest is unrestricted as to both capital and income. The testator wished that it should be used as equally as possible for All Saints’ Wrington and Christchurch, Redhill and since 1992 the dividend income represents half the total generated.

Restricted funds

Mrs Castle’s and the Rev John Vane’s bequests can be applied towards the fabric of the church.

Mrs M C Owen – Churchyard fund consists of a number of small legacies given for the upkeep of named graves and, generally, for the care of the churchyard.

Endowment funds

Wrington Parish Church Trust - was formed by deed dated 11[th] May 1990. The trustees are the churchwardens and treasurer of the PCC. It is an expendable endowment fund with wide permissive terms.

Brook House Fund - on 24[th] January 2014 the Trustees of the Lawder Bequest transferred its share portfolio to the PCC at a mid-market value of £264,788. The investments are managed by J M Finn Stockbrokers.

SECTION 4: LOCKING DEANERY SYNOD REPORT

There were three Deanery Synod meetings in 2021 – all via Zoom! Only in February 2022 have we actually met in person.

This started with the Deanery Service of Light being online only and so it continued.

The three meetings held on Zoom were very full ones with items on vacancies, comparisons of how churches were dealing with the pandemic, a Living in Love and Faith course and consideration of The Common Cup.

In July we were sent the Deanery’s ‘Vision and Mission Action Plan 2020-2023’ - ‘sharing life, inspiring mission’ and a very useful ‘Guide for Deanery Synod Lay Representatives’.

SAFEGUARDING REPORT

There have been no reported safeguarding issues and hopefully this is because steps have been taken to make these less likely!

I am very grateful to all who have completed their Confidential Declaration forms and anyone who needs an update on their DBS will be contacted.

All members of our congregations are encouraged to make certain our churches are safe. With this in mind, can I please ask you to contact me if you have any anxieties or concerns.

Fiona Densham

PCC REPORT

There were six PCC meetings in 2021 – with three being via Zoom in January, March and April.

The new PCC then met in All Saints’ on 22[nd] June when communion was shared and new members Jill Bagnall, Sue Titman and Roger Vincent were welcomed. Andrew Densham resigned from the PCC at this meeting.

However, by our next meeting in July, we did meet in All Saints’ but with social distance seating arrangements and masks! Fiona Densham was invited onto the PCC as a co-opted voting member.

16

The last PCC meeting in 2021 was held at Christ Church, Redhill.

Our APCM did go ahead in All Saints’ on 18[th] May, albeit with reduced attendance due to the pandemic and no refreshments! We thanked Francis and Olivia Montagu for their many years of service in the parish as they ‘moved’ to focus on Holy Trinity, Burrington.

Covid regulations and restrictions impacted on many meetings – with a temporary suspension of worship agreed at the January meeting.

Other items of note discussed during the year were the future addition of St Mary’s Langford to the parish, the restoration of the organ in All Saints’, appointment of a choir director, use of the Reading Room and the installation of a toilet in All Saints’.

This last item was discussed at a meeting of the All Saints’ Committee on 5[th] October when All Saints’ architect, John Beauchamp, was present. This committee does not include the two Chapel Wardens from Christ Church or Rev’d Andrew Hemming and Rev’d Sue Hoskins.

From the APCM in May 2021 there have been 18 members.

CHURCH ARCHIVES

Veronica Thorn has been involved with the Church Archives from the very start. Her passion and dedication have ensured the safe keeping of past papers etc and careful assimilation of new additions. With Richard’s IT support she has been invaluable.

Veronica stood down from hands on involvement in 2021 leaving myself for the time being ‘in charge’.

The hope is that some of these fascinating documents and artefacts will soon be displayed in our churches to be appreciated by all.

Margaret Barker

ALL SAINTS’ CHURCH CHOIR 2021

Despite setbacks during lockdown, Covid and other health concerns, the choir continues to sing at all services as requested.

We are very fortunate in having our gifted and delightful choir mistress Alison Blundell, who gives us constant encouragement and also Michael Taylor, whose skill at the organ provides us with wonderful support. Very grateful thanks to them both.

We would love to have more singers with us – it’s not that demanding! We practise once a fortnight for an hour on Friday evenings.

18

All Saints’ has a proud history of strong choral support of worship – and it would be very sad if this didn’t continue.

Veronica Thorn

FOUNDATION GOVERNOR

Covid affected Wrington Primary School in 2021, as it had in other occupations. Although the school was open with classes almost back to normal, there were two factors which continued the disruption. If a child or family member caught Covid, that child had to remain at home, isolating. The class teachers had to devise online lessons for that pupil, usually taking place at the same time as the class lesson in school, which enabled the pupils to continue learning but made considerable extra work for the teachers. When a teacher caught Covid, or tested positive, they had to remain at home for several days and classes sometimes had to be rapidly changed or combined to accommodate this because supply teachers were usually already working. This was actually more difficult to manage than the home learning. The pupils were tested in September for their ability in the core subjects (Reading, Writing and Maths). In general, reading was good because they had been set books to read at home during 2020-2021, but they had not practiced hand writing and this skill had deteriorated, especially among the younger pupils. Maths also required some catch-up. Parents were very appreciative of the remote learning provided. By February the situation was getting back to normal.

19

However, there were higher levels of long-term anxiety and lack of social skills due to long periods at home which required teacher management.

I am the link governor for History, Geography, French, Latin, Arts and RE; I interviewed the teachers at Wrington and Burrington with reports ready for the expected school inspections. Corinne Clark, the Deputy Head and Languages teacher at Wrington, is starting a course “Classics for All”, to be taught to Year 6 pupils in Term 5 (the summer term), which will be an exciting new venture. It incorporates Latin with classical civilisation.

The Rector resigned as a school governor (though remains involved with the schools) in the autumn and his role as Ex-Officio foundation governor was taken by Revd Andrew Hemming. The foundation governor vacancy was filled in March by a Burrington resident and parent.

The support for schools from North Somerset Council is reducing and the governors decided that the only option for The Federation of Burrington and Wrington schools will be to join a Multi-Academy Trust. Most schools in the area have already joined one. Discussions and preparations are underway and this is likely to be finalised in the coming year.

Covid disruption: Affected children had home on-line learning simultaneously with classes in school, twice the work for teachers. Classes were reorganised with teachers often off work. Hand writing deteriorated but

20

reading was good. Maths needed catch-up. Higher levels of long-term anxiety and poor social skills required teacher management.

The Rector resigned in the autumn, Revd Andrew Hemming took his role as Ex-Officio foundation governor. A Burrington resident later filled the other foundation governor vacancy.

North Somerset Council is reducing support for schools. The governors decided the Federation will join a MultiAcademy Trust, other local schools have already. Preparations are underway.

Belinda Kumpel, Foundation Governor

HEALTH & SAFETY REPORT

Despite the coronavirus, the Church has generally remained open for private prayer throughout the week as well a fairly standard pattern of services from April onwards. Keeping up-to-date with changing Covid advice from the Diocese has been a challenge we have had to rise to. Wonderfully, no incidents or accidents have been reported during the year.

Our thanks to Tony Norman who retired as Health & Safety Officer during the year and also thanks to Tim Ledbury who has taken this post on.

MOTHERS’ UNION

After a difficult time for everyone, including members of Wrington Mothers’ Union, 2021 was a year when there was an opening-up to some kind of normality in all our lives.

Our first actual meeting was in church on 22[nd] July, and from then on we have continued having our monthly meetings in the Reading Room, after an agreement on shared space was reached. We have enjoyed a wonderful variation of speakers at each meeting.

We were very happy to be involved with refreshments at the Afternoon Tea in All Saints’ on 10[th] August, and a week later on 17[th] August we enjoyed our own MU Coffee Morning and the money raised was sent to ‘Summer of Hope’.

Two of our members each week, on a rota basis, help with refreshments for the toddler and baby group ‘Little Stars’ which is very enjoyable and much appreciated.

We are sadly the only surviving Mothers’ Union group in the Deanery. We have a loyal membership which numbers 24, including our valued indoor members and an enthusiastic committee. We look forward to our future with great optimism.

Lin Edwards

OPEN THE BOOK REPORT

2021 saw many stops and starts and we have only just really got started in March 2022.

22

We meet up at my house on Tuesday mornings where each ‘actor’ is delegated a specific part to play in the Bible story for that day.

We then try on our costumes (taking some to school for the pupil volunteers) and practise our acting skills.

At Wrington School there is usually a question time and a prayer.

The pupils love to participate and we always have more volunteers than parts available! There are 12 of us in this group and I would like to thank everyone for their commitment.

I think we enjoy ourselves too!

Pat Milne

SOCIAL TEAM

We were unable to have social events for the whole of 2021 – but it was certainly a much-improved situation compared to 2020!

The main events that we were involved in were the Garden Trail in June, the Harvest Lunch in September, Benefice Away Day in October, Alternative Halloween in October and the Live Village Nativity in December – sadly Covid prevented us serving refreshments at the Carol Service just before Christmas.

The members of the Social Team continue to commit over and above whenever asked – great examples of Christian service!

Margaret Barker

23

TOWER

In April 2021, due to Covid restrictions, as we have 10 bells, that at least did allow us to ring five bells, but adequate method-ringing requires a minimum of six so we were only able to ring very basic patterns. Our ringing chamber had efficient ventilation installed a few years ago, which does make ringing safer.

Subsequent easing of the restrictions of maintaining two-metre distancing down to one, meant that we could return to ringing at least the front six bells. Later, our use of face masks was made optional, as guidelines from the Church of England changed. We still maintain distancing, cleaning hands with gel on entering, and when we change ropes, plus thorough ventilation of the ringing chamber.

We have practised most Thursdays and rung most Sunday mornings, partly with the support of a couple of visitors from other local towers. We would appreciate it if some former bellringers who live in the village were prepared to come and ring with us on Sunday mornings, say once a month, as we need a minimum of six ringers to ring properly, and it dismays us when we have to leave the bells silent on a Sunday morning.

We have yet to return to teaching new ringers, as to do so requires the tutor to stand very close to the learner. This is not something that can be done with masks on, and Covid levels are still too high. That means we

24

depend on trying to persuade those who can already handle a bell to join us, at least in the short run.

We ring a range from more advanced methods such as Cambridge, Stedman and St Clements, to simple rounds and place-making, depending on which ringers are available

Philip Kinsman, Tower Captain

CHURCHWARDENS’ REPORT

Not a lot has changed from last year’s report other than Covid considerations are less restricting, but remain as a main consideration for all that goes on within the Parish. As indicated elsewhere, most items of outstanding work have been satisfactorily completed with the main item of expenditure during the year being the welcome restoration of the organ thanks to the generosity of many donors. With donors in mind, the kind support of The Friends of Wrington Churchyard make the Churchwardens’ job so much easier with the satisfaction that Wrington has one of the best maintained Churchyards in the county if not even further afield. Security has been tightened as far as the building is concerned and regular cleaning will be recommenced following the ‘basics only’ during Covid.

The Churchwarden’s work closely with the clergy and acknowledge the great help we have from willing sidesmen, readers, the choir, the flower ladies and a host of others. What makes the job so satisfactory is the willing help offered by nearly all who are approached.

Along with many others we will both miss the presence of Rev. Tom Ekin who died recently having spent nearly four years in St. Monicas’ at Sandford Station. He was given a good send off!

On a personal note, I would like to record my thanks to so many who have helped make my last three years as Churchwarden as happy as it has been as I retire to

26

‘The back benches’. I know that Andrew will continue to benefit from such support alongside my successor. John Ledbury and on behalf of Andrew Whiting

CHRIST CHURCH, REDHILL CHAPEL WARDENS’ REPORT

This has been another strange year, but we are back to sung services and communion.

We joined in a country fair with Redhill Volunteers in July and great fun was had by all. We had an Organathon in August, and a Ploughman’s lunch in September. Carols were sung in Redhill Club, and six of us went carol singing round the village; we weren’t collecting money, just an outreach to the community. Some people insisted on giving us some, so that was sent to the Children’s Society. There was also Carols round the Crib, outside church, which was very well-attended.

We manage to do Churchyard clean-ups, but it does get harder as there are so few of us. Thanks must go to John Lee for keeping the grass cut and to Dawn for hard work keeping the church clean, and opening the church daily.

Our Coffee and Co is doing very well, with quite a few regulars from the village.

27

We have organised the contractors for mending the roof, and we are in the process of organising the funds for it.

We would like to thank the Chapel Committee for their help and support during the past year. We would also like to thank Tina for organising and arranging the flowers each week. Thanks must also go to Cathi for all her hard work as treasurer. She has done an amazing job.

Thanks also go to David and Janet, Sue, and Sarah in the office.

Finally, many, many thanks to Andrew for his help and guidance which we all really appreciate. Dee Taylor and Linda Wood

Consultation: Toilet in All Saints’

Following last year’s APCM, and subsequent discussion by the PCC, our architect was commissioned to produce plans for a toilet at the west end of All Saints’. These will be available at the back of the church before the APCM. Please look at them and offer any reaction to them at the APCM
