events. The response from the village (except the Sports Club),
for these two events was very disappointing!

Back in mid August there were several incidents of theft of garden furniture, sculptures,
plant pots etc. from gardens in nearby villages. We are not aware of any incidents in
Fulbeck.
On the 27th August in Carlton Scroop a property was entered by four males pretending to
be from the water board there was a vehicle seen leaving the area
with the males in, Reg: YK58 OMA. Also on the same day a vehicle Reg: YP63 LYX containing two females with Irish accents were

PARENT INFO ALERT – Internet Safety and other stuff!!
As children and teenagers arrive back at school, relationships develop, and social media gets another boost as they start new conversations and access various platforms to uphold their social
status! As a parent this can be quite daunting to keep up with the
ever changing world of social media, whether that be by mobile
phone or computer based activity. Here is a brilliant website that
you can access and gain up to date information. You can also
learn about the current teen speak your teenagers maybe using.

browse as very informative, with additional sign posting to other
websites that may also be of use for further information.
Any current alerts for our neighbourhood will be posted on the
Fulbeck Village Community Facebook page and anything urgent
will also be posted on the two village noticeboards outside the
Hare and Hounds and the Village Hall.

Visiting the Netherlands earlier this month and witnessing
35,000 people taking part in the 10-15 km Arnhem Airborne
March in remembrance to those British, Polish and American Airborne troops that took part in the ill-fated operation
“Market Garden” in 1944, was a moving experience. Above
all, the Arnhem community spirit and hospitality to welcome
all other nationalities taking part was amazing. Upon our
return, some irony was felt by the fact that Fulbeck Airfield
from which many of the British 1st and 4th Para Brigades
together with their Polish colleagues used for the above
operation, is now subject to two separate Planning Applications for industrial use for ten Wind Turbines and seven
Straw Storage locations.
It is important for everyone to comment on these applications either by e-mail or writing to South Kesteven District
Council and North Kesteven District Council as the boundary of both districts runs across the site.

Already, HGV movement and routes taken by local operator’s vehicles is causing great concern amongst local
residents as many ignore the “not suitable for HGVs” signs,
causing damage to verges and road surfaces, and above
all road safety. Complaints have been made, and local operators have replied inviting photographic evidence and
registration numbers before they are willing to acknowledge
responsibility. They also state that “Not suitable for HGVs”
signs are merely a warning, not obligatory. Other HGVs are
often reliant on Sat Nav which directs them from the A1 or
A17 onto the C001 (Stragglethorpe/Marston Lane) and then
through our villages ignoring the signs. Should the above
Planning Applications be granted, the HGV traffic movement would greatly increase, not only initially, but for the
next 25 years!
Many have expressed concerns to me about the Syrian
refugee crisis. The leader of SKDC, Bob Adams, has stated
that ” a joint Lincolnshire working party, led by the Director
of Public Health and comprising local authority Chief Executives had been established. The working group would
ensure that appropriate support packages were available to
refugees coming into Lincolnshire.” Everyone can help by
supporting the local charity organisations, who, together
with SKDC, will be at the forefront of this initiative.

boot sales to date have been disappointing due to adverse
weather conditions. Out of the three scheduled sales so far
this year the sum of £226 has been raised of which £200
has gone to the sports club. He said work had been carried
out in the village hall to improve storage facilities and
wished a vote of thanks to David Morison and Geoff
Cottingham for carrying out this work to be minuted.
Concern has been expressed by a member of the public
about the low growing branches on the trees on North End
Green, which he felt was a danger to the person who mows
the green. This matter is to be investigated.
In the highways report the meeting was informed that
work is to be carried out on Pottergate Road some time
between 1/9/2015 28/11/2015 when the road may be
closed for up to 7 days
In response to a question posed by a member of the public, the meeting was informed that work is to be carried out
on Washdyke Lane some time in the future.
The next meetings will be held on Monday 5th October
2015 and Monday 23rd November in Fulbeck Village Hall at
7.30 p.m. Members of the public are invited to attend meetings when they can ask questions and raise points. If you

SKDC Planning Applications
At a planning meeting on Monday 14th October, the Parish
Council examined and voted on two planning applications:
1. Planning application - S15/2537 - Change of use of
land for straw storage and the installation of a mobile
weighbridge and welfare facilities on Fulbeck Airfield
2. Planning application - S15/1764 - Erection, 25 year
operation and subsequent de-commissioning of a wind
farm consisting of 10 wind turbines (each up to 110m to the
blade tip) and associated infrastructure, including underground cable connections
A motion to object to the applications was carried in
both cases.
Speed Limit Update by Iris Morison.
30 mph Speed Limit A607 Fulbeck We have been advised by LCC that: "The final version of the revised Speed Limit Policy will be
considered by the Highways and Transport Scrutiny Committee on Monday 14th September. If it is supported there,
it will then be forwarded to Cllr Davies as the Executive
Councillor for his final approval of the Policy. I would expect it all to be signed off etc. by the end of September/
early October."
Once it has been signed off, it will then be up to Highways
to implement the revised speed limit. This will probably
take several months but hopefully by the beginning of 2016
it will be in place (ever the optimist!)
STOP PRESS
The Highways and Transport Scrutiny Committee fully
supported the revised Speed Limit Policy. It will be
forwarded to Councillor Davies very shortly for the formal sign off and will then be operative, it is just going
through the final checks to ensure everything has been
included that needs to be.

MURDER MOST FOUL – FULBECK’S OWN MURDER
A short article based on research in the Archives of the Lincolnshire Echo by Vic Rice
On the evening of 31st May 1919 Florence Jackson, a bright
young eighteen year old domestic servant from Fulbeck, employed at Welbourne having spent the evening at the Caythorpe
Feast with George Rowland was walking back with him to Fulbeck. At around 10.30 Rowland was seen to attract the attention
of passers-by at a gate at the entrance to a lane leading to Brickyard House. He was bleeding from the throat, and nearby lay the
body of Florence .with a gash in her throat; in her right hand she
had an open razor. Rowland told a witness “A girl has cut my
throat and then cut her own”. To another he beckoned “Come
and look at what I have done”. Soon afterwards Florence’s sister,
Laura, who had also been at the Feast, arrived on the scene, to
whom Rowland said “I’ve killed your Flo, another man wanted
her. I have tried to kill myself but could not”. Dr F A Hardy from
Fulbeck and Florence’s mother were called from the village, and
the doctor stitched Rowland’s wound. On Florence’s mother arriving, Rowland told her “I’ve killed my darling”. She then attacked him, but was restrained, complaining at the inquest “ They
would not let me kill him”. On the arrival of a police constable,
Rowland was removed to Sleaford Police Station
Rowland was an ex- soldier from Grantham who had served in
the Army from April 1915 to February 1918 having been
wounded and gassed in France. At his trial at Lincoln Assizes it
transpired that Florence had spoken to another man at the
Feast , which was probably the cause of an argument between
the two lovers on the walk back to Fulbeck. The defence submitted a plea of insanity, but this was not accepted ,with the judge
commenting that he believed that Rowland was well aware of
what he had done and had placed the razor in Florence’s hand.
after killing her. Rowland was sentenced to death, but this was
later commuted to penal servitude for life.

After a planning meeting in August, we hosted a lively afternoon on the 16th September for some of those with long memories of Fulbeck. With tea, coffee and cake to lubricate our vocal
chords and brains, folks were able to recount, enjoy and record

Survey measurements were used to build up maps in squares on
a county by county basis. As well as villages, roads and lanes,
key buildings and major landscape features including fields and
acreage were shown. Additional information was shown around
the edges of the map. Towns were surveyed on a much more
detailed basis with the 1886 series of maps showing details of
buildings, even house gardens, and naming larger buildings. The
mapmakers also included other information such as archaeological sites and trees, woodland, fields and orchards. We then
spent some time studying a number of different maps, the earliest O.S. being an 1886 First Edition of Fulbeck. It was fascinating to see (and shown how to interpret!) the amount of information available, even though these maps were only black and
white, very different from today's multicoloured editions. (NB Am

Bishop’s Letter
Dear friends,
I am writing this letter to you just after our first diocesan synod meeting of a new triennium, held early in September. By the time you
read this we will have welcomed many people, from across the diocese, to the Saints in Every Generation event in the Cathedral. Two
quite different occasions, but both a sign of our commitment to each other as members together of the family of God here in greater
Lincolnshire.
As you know, as a diocese we have committed ourselves to being faithful in worship, confident in discipleship and joyful in service.
This year has seen the launch of our discipleship programme, aimed at helping all of us to think and pray about the particular and distinct contribution we can make to the life of the world and in response to God’s call. One of the highlights of Saints in Every Generation

take them further on their journey towards confident discipleship. I would like to thank everyone who attended and assure you that I will read each of the pledges you
so faithfully gave.
This time of year is often associated with new beginnings, and that is certainly the case in the life of the diocese this year. I am delighted that we will soon be welcoming the Reverend Mark Steadman as the next Archdeacon of Stow and Lindsey. Mark will be installed at evensong in the Cathedral on 10th October. All are most welcome to attend. If you would like to do so, please let the precentor’s office know so that everyone can be welcomed and accommodated (01522 561632). Later in the year, we will welcome the Reverend Dr Nicholas Chamberlain among us as suffragan bishop of Grantham. I’ve written elsewhere of my belief that Dr Chamberlain
brings fabulous gifts, a truly pastoral heart, a profound faith and indefatigable dedication to the mission and purpose of the Church. I am
gratified that we have been able to attract a priest of his calibre to be bishop of Grantham, and I ask you to hold him in your prayers as
he prepares for his ordination to the episcopate on 19 November. Alongside this, there is also a significant farewell to be said as Tim
Barker prepares to leave the diocese after 17 years of faithful service as parish priest and then archdeacon. As Tim moves to his new
post of Dean of Guernsey and Rector of St André de la Pommaraye later in the autumn, he and Judy will go with our love blessings and
a huge debt of gratitude for all that they have given to the diocese.
With every good wish,
+Christopher Lincoln:
