Charity tails wag after they receive cheques from Ludlow Dog Day

Charity tails wag after they receive cheques from Ludlow Dog Day

Ludlow Rotary Club handed cheques totalling £8,000 to two of the beneficiaries of this year’s Dog Day event – Hope House Children’s Hospices and St Michael’s Hospice at the group’s meeting on Tuesday .

Hillary Delaney Hall, the Rotary club president said: “This evening makes all the time and effort involved in running Dog Day so worthwhile.

“It’s wonderful to hold a fun event which people clearly enjoy.

“But the real icing on the cake is to be able to make serious donations to such worthwhile causes.

“One has only to visit a hospice to see the high-quality care and, dare I say it, love which staff give to people, young and old, approaching the end of their lives.”

Ludlow Rotary Club was supported by Church Stretton Rotary Club in its efforts this summer and both organisations were proud to be able to make these grants.

The event was so successful despite the wet weather that the local community grants scheme, Ludlow Rotary Cares, has been topped up with £4,000 and those grants are set to be disbursed early next year.

The Ludlow Dog Day event in July was the first to be held after a two year break due to covid restrictions.

Wet weather on the day reduced the number attending and the amount raised for charity, but the club is not deterred from going ahead again next year.

The club has confirmed that planning is already underway for the 2023 Dog Day which will be held on July 23, 2023 once again at Stokesay Court “with the kind permission and support of Caroline Magnus”.

Walter’s Wardrobe: Matilda

“I love England in a heat wave. It's a different country. All the rules change" - there couldn’t be a better quote by author, Ian McEwan, to describe July’s Walter’s Wardrobe. Thirty two degree heat, equating to the hottest weekend of the year, replicated not only the story of Briony Tallis and her detrimental false testimony in ‘Atonement’, but also the unusually warm summer of 2008, when the film was created at Stokesay Court. 

For all those who follow events in Walter’s Wardrobe, they’ll concur that I hunt high and low for suitable locations, often driving hundreds of miles just for disappointment, with a promise that ‘it’s ok’ will never do. I keep my ears to the ground and am never not looking - online, on television, in earshot - whatever it takes. Locations can be found on the most surprising paths. So when the ten year anniversary of the movie Atonement came about, I took my chance to visit the usually closed doors of Stokesay Court, stepping into the world of a narrative I have loved since uni. 

On a mid-August day, you’d be forgiven for expecting warmth and sunshine, but at barely 15 degrees and torrential rain in the depths of Staffordshire, the open day was anything but. My location scouting journey was one of many and the difficult conditions left me squinting throughout the three hour drive, hoping and praying it would be worth it. 

Yet once I arrived, it became clear this was it. I’m not a fan of dark wood panelling, heavy floral interiors and too much of a ‘homely’ feel for photography...but on this day, I took all of it back, as I allowed the energy of Hollywood to seep around me. 

Stepping through the doors of each room gave shiver after tingle of recognition for each plot part. The upstairs corridor...and that angular turn as Briony carries ‘The Trials of Arabella’ to her mother, the nursery...and that ghastly man telling Lola she has to “bite it”... and that infamous library, post-unmentionable letter.

Scripts, cast notes, costume directive, artificial flowers and polystyrene rocks from the film, discarded (or rescued) as though they’d left only a moment ago: 

And that was that. I was sold and barely home five minutes before my first email was being sent to enquire about a possible photoshoot, only to discover the private house had never been photographed or filmed outside the movie. 

*Beam from the heavens hits the house as angels hit their highest note* aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Wardrobe exclusiiiiiiiiive! 

Fast forward a year and unbeknown to us, in the sweltering July heat, we’d brought together a videographer who was currently working with the lead role (Keira Knightly) on her latest film, the niece of the films Head of Casting, and a makeup artist whose husband had befriended with the Director, Joe Wright. Coincidences...eh, they just seem to follow me. 

A 1920s/1930s inspired cinematic experience quickly became Matilda; named as such in homage to the stained glass window bearing St Matilda - the Patron Saint of the Falsely Accused.

Shrewsbury + Surface dressing programme for summer 2018 announced

Shropshire Council has announced its programme of roads that are to be surface dressed this summer. The 2018 surface dressing season is due to start on 22 June and continue until the end of August.

Surface dressing (applying and rolling aggregate ‘chippings’ onto a bituminous binder) is a proven quick, efficient and cost-effective way of maintaining skid-resistance and waterproofing road surfaces.

It forms a major part of the council’s annual road maintenance programme and – along with resurfacing – plays an important part in preventing potholes forming on the county’s roads.

In total 61 sites have been identified for treatment across the county on all types of road, from urban cul-de-sacs to major A and B roads.

Due to the limited width of some roads, over 43% of the sites will unfortunately require a temporary road closure for the works to be carried out safely. Where road closures are not necessary, other forms of temporary traffic management will be in place, including temporary signals with convoy working where appropriate. On cul-de-sacs limited access will be available.

For the majority of A and B roads (currently 20 separate sites) centre line studs/cat’s eyes also need to be removed and replaced under a temporary closure. It’s envisaged that stud removal will take place overnight, followed by dressing and sweeping operations during the following couple of days,

The replacement of studs and road markings on some sites will necessarily take place up to ten days later. Again, this will be during one night’s (9pm to 6am) road closure.

In reality, most of the closures will only be required for a few hours for the dressing operation, and we don’t envisage most being more than one day.

Steve Davenport, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member for highways and transport, said:

“As well as improving and protecting our road surfaces, this important programme of work plays a crucial role in helping to prevent potholes and other defects forming in the future. Pothole treatment is very much about prevention as well as cure and this is one important way that we can aim to prevent potholes forming next winter.”

The programme of work may alter due to wet weather or other unforeseen events.

Information letters will be delivered to affected residents and businesses, and advance information signs will be on site at least ten days prior to the due start date.

Further information

Shropshire Council are spending around £6 million this year on resurfacing and surface dressing the county’s roads, ranging from unclassified rural roads to town centre roads to main ‘A’ roads. For more information, click here to see our blog/video

“I praise God and ever shall   It is the sheep hath paid for all”- 14th century anon.

“ I have rarely had, for a couple of hours, the sensation of dropping back personally into the past so straight as while I lay on the grass beside the well in the little sunny court of this small castle and lazily appreciated the still definite details of medieval life” Henry James.

A display of this burgeoning, pre-Black Death wealth, at Stokesay Castle, built in 1281 for Laurence of Ludlow, one of the first merchant princes to get the idea of setting up a country seat to gentrify himself, and in the custodianship of English Heritage since 1986. 

Unlike Ludlow Castle, it is a fortified manor house rather than a true castle and as a display of status works rather well in my opinion, though sadly Laurence himself died soon after its completion. His family, however, lived here for ten generations.

Fascinatingly, wealthy industrialist John  Derby Allcroft was to acquire the site in 1869, and had Stokesay Court (10) built as his own home but worled on the preservation of the castle. As historian Keith Pybus wrote, the resemblance between these self-made men is remarkable, both trying to ape and hopefully join the aristocracy by commissioning their own stately home, and both succeeding remarkably well, much to our benefit today.

Stokesay Court, one of the first homes to boast electric history, is equally fascinating and equally built on wealth that came from trade rather than landowning. (Allcroft was a glover). Most notably, it was the site for the film of Atonement by Ian McEwan. I didn’t actually go there (it’s more than a mile away from the castle) but I’ll certainly have to return and complete it based on the accounts I’ve read.

I certainly did visit Saint John the Baptist church, right by the castle, built in 1150 and intriguingly, rebuilt in 1654 as the Puritans deemed it unacceptable in the form it had held before. As a still functioning parish church it’s been a place for centuries of devotion and serves as a place where peace will seep into your soul during your walk.

After this I had to set off for Wenlock Edge, and I can see I’ll have to be back for the things I didn’t manage to do this time, though there are plenty more posts in this series to look forward to...

Shrewsbury + Wilfred Owen 100: Great Shropshire war poet remembered

Sunday 18 March will mark the famous Wilfred Owen’s 125th birthday. 4 November this year marks the centenary of the day that the Shropshire poet and soldier fell in battle at the tender age of 25, just seven days before the Armistice brought the conflict to an end.

The centenary is being marked in his home county of Shropshire by a series of events over the last 100 days from 4 August to 4 November.

With a focus on Shrewsbury and Oswestry, Shropshire’s Wilfred Owen 100 will remember him with poetry readings, music, talks, new installations, themed guided walks and much more.

Events will reflect on the emotion, exhibitions, installations and projects from the 2014 – 2018 commemorative period and celebrate one of Shropshire’s most renowned sons. A number of these events are being supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund.

The project will also harness archives, artefacts and memories held out in the community by organisations and individuals, and secure their preservation and accessibility for the future. The ambitious aim of this partnership project is to involve every community in this large county and to reach audiences of all ages.

Wilfred Owen bust on display at Shrewsbury Museum and Art Gallery

A free programme of all the cultural arts activities and events across the county will be published in May 2018.

Lezley Picton, Shropshire Council Cabinet member for leisure and culture, said:

“Shropshire played a key role in the First World War effort, with support provided at home and the supply of brave soldiers to the frontline, such as the famous Wilfred Owen.

“With the anniversary of his untimely death, I am delighted that partners across the county are working together to ensure that Wilfred Owen and his works are celebrated and remembered through a series of interesting and exciting events, while also paying homage to our county’s significant contributions during the Great War.”

Who is Wilfred Owen?

Wilfred Owen was born in 1893 at Plas Wilmot near Oswestry and lived in Birkenhead and Shrewsbury, where his mother received news of his death as the bells were ringing out on Armistice Day. He served as a Lieutenant in the 2nd Manchester Regiment, winning the Military Cross for bravery in action. His poetry is now widely regarded as among the best to be inspired by the horrors of the Great War.

The life and contribution of Wilfred Owen, and all the other men and women of Shropshire who were swept up into the services during the conflict, will be a key element in the programme, but the wider social impact of the war on all the inhabitants of Shropshire will also be of great importance.

Shropshire in the First World War

In the First World War Shropshire played a key role as a location for large scale training and prisoner of war camps, as well as providing over 40 hospitals, often located in country houses like Stokesay Court. A large number of women volunteered to work in hospitals and also on the land, including those who were part of the Women’s Land Army.
