ORLEY ews
1937, the present one being a memorial to Mr Demetriadi,
killed while riding in India.
The well-kept churchyard is well worth a visit too – the
Woodhouse mausoleum being a listed monument, and some
elaborate graves in evidence from another local family, the
Lascelles. Many of the other graves are old, and need the
work of a team to keep them in good order, as family
members are no longer around to do this.
A treat for your reporter was a chance to climb the (very steep
and narrow) stairs for the tower. Well worth the effort though,
with a view that stretches some 15 or more miles. The views,
as you can see here, are beautiful.
On the way up, you pass the superb clock by Litherland and
Davies of Liverpool (1848). This is now automatically
wound, though from its installation until 2006, it was wound
twice each week by hand – no small feat given the weights
This is the group of Norley citizens who we have to thank for
looking after St John the Evangelist Church in Norley, one of
our most famous landmarks. We met them on the day they
were hard at work cutting grass, trimming hedges and doing
other crucial maintenance work. They do much else besides,
turning their hand on occasion to everything from minor
electrical work and plumbing, to looking after the clock and
the bell.
The team consists of Frank and Audrey Smith, Jack Thomas
and Chris Burrows. Apart from Chris who is the youngest
and newest of the team, all have been working on the church
for many years.
The group makes up the fabric committee, and usually meets
for a time each Tuesday morning or Friday afternoon, to
maintain the church. From time to time there is more to do –
like the annual “spring clean “ (not always in spring!), and if
you would like to help at any time, please do get in touch at

involved.
You also pass the impressive bell by Turton and Co, which –
at 1833 - actually slightly predates the church.
There is a tradition in the village, which will continue this
year, of allowing children leaving Norley School to go up the
tower. Many pupils from earlier times have carved their
names on part of the lead roof, and this year;’s leavers will no
doubt do the same.
For many people visiting Norley the church is their first
glimpse of the village - and the “Cathedral in the Forest” is
quite some asset. As always, funds are needed to maintain
the building (though of course the Team work for free!), and
if you would like to donate you can do so – either by visiting
the church, or again we can put you in touch through the
address above.
When was the last time you visited the church? Whatever
one’s religious views it is a beautiful spot, and one to be
treasured.
Do readers have any special recollections of the Church? If
so, let us know so we can share them with other readers.
Jon
Hilary Soldiers On. Please see the following
from villager Hilary Wilson.
She and her husband
Andrew built a scarecrow,
also called Hilary (please
do keep up) for the Jubilee.
She was a walker, and was
outside the Tigers Head.
She had a hard life, as the
first scarecrow out there.
Not least, she suffered an
assassination attempt from
some passing witless
wonders who we can only
hope don't live in Norley.
Having been lovingly
reassembled she kept her
place until after the Jubilee
when Hilary (Wilson, please
do keep up) and Andrew
took her down, to face a sad
end at the tip (Hilary the scarecrow that is). Hilary (Wilson,
I won't tell you again!) takes up the story from there;
Hi,
Before I checked today's e-mails, Andrew and I took it upon
ourselves to carry Hilary off to her final resting place. It
was with heavy hearts that we loaded her into the 'van on
top of bags of garden rubbish - very sad and undignified,
I'm afraid.
Once in Frodsham, I went off to the dentist and left Andrew
to perform the last rites. At the skip (sorry, sepulchre), the
supervisor took an immediate fancy to Hilary, saying that

give their views on the preferred location, type and number of
properties.
As a first step in the consultation, an Open Morning was held
at the Village Hall on 7 July, and was attended by
approximately 20 villagers. The consultation will continue
throughout the summer, and the Parish Council will have a
stall at the Norley Garden Show in September to provide
further information and continue to gather views.
Meanwhile, you can view the preliminary options and register
your opinion online at www.norley.org/parish-council, or
contact Meg Rosney, Clerk to Norley Parish Council, for
information to be sent in the post (01928 739772).
The purpose of providing affordable homes is to ensure that
local people can continue live in Norley and contribute to the
community.

she would be as much use to him as his usual assistant and he
stood her to one side for later attention. Andrew said she
looked happy with her new surroundings, as she had rather
tired of peering into Ann's bedroom window every day.
However, Andrew and the skipman were then accosted by
another lady who insisted on whisking Hilary off to Kingsley
where... wait for it... she is to undergo a sex change and
become a football referee! Her next appearance will be at
Kingsley Carnival the weekend after next and she should
appear somewhere near the doctors' surgery at Brookside. All
fans note!
Hilary was last seen en route to Kingsley stuffed into the back
of a rather small Fiat 500 with her legs projecting out of the
back and her new keeper wondering what her husband would
say when they appeared back home.
What a wonderful ending and I'm so sorry that Andrew hadn't
a camera with him to record the happy events
Tearfully yours, Hilary I
PS Am now thinking that our cricketer should move to
Kinglsey, especially since Norley has had the best of him.
Local Houses for Local People Affordable Housing in Norley
Norley Parish Council, in partnership with Cheshire West &
Chester local authority, have identified a need for some
affordable homes within Norley via a survey conducted in
autumn last year.
Working with The Plus Dane Group (Housing Association), a
number of potential sites for the houses has been identified.
To ensure that we meet the needs of local people, we are
holding a public consultation to ask all Norley residents to

The Year 6 leavers should also be congratulated on the
magnificent £285 they raised from their Enterprise project.
This will go towards funding an Ipad for use across the school
– thanks to all who supported the children.
Well done to all the children who took part in our recent
Olympic themed music concerts. This provided a wonderful
opportunity to showcase their dramatic and musical talents!
Well done to the Tag Rugby Team who were just pipped at
the post in the Northwest Tag Finals in the semi-finals! They
played really well and we had great support from parents/
carers on the day!
Congratulations to the children who took part in the District
Sports Event in our Federated team with St. John. There was
a great team spirit and all the children should be
congratulated on their efforts. There were some great
individual performances by some children who came 1st, 2nd or
3rd against strong competition from much bigger schools and

you. Please ensure you have appropriate and adequate
security measures in place for all your property, especially
when they contain items of value.
Two other thefts of pedal cycles have occurred overnight
from outbuildings in the Frodsham area during early June,
one from Queensway and one from Bradley Lane.
Outbuildings are particularly vulnerable – make sure that
locks and hinges are adequate to protect the contents.
The following crime highlights the potential for any metal
to be stolen at any location at any time and acts as a
reminder to us all. At approximately 17:00 hours Thursday
21st June it was reported that metal was stolen from a house
in Mountain View, Helsby. The metal originated from a
trampoline that had been dismantled in the front garden of
the property. A male and young child who were the
occupants of the vehicle described as an open back white
van were seen to steal the property. Any further sightings
around the time would be appreciated.
children!
Class 3 also had a wonderful day out with other schools in the
locality at Chester University. This provoked thinking on
what the children wanted to aspire to in later life, considering
financial planning, engaging in drama activities and
culminated in a mini-graduation in the Chapel wearing
graduation robes and home made mortar boards!
Thanks to the PTFA for their support with a wide range of
events this year including funding the recent visit by Key
Strings musicians with an Olympic theme that was enjoyed
by the children.

Plans are continuing with the refurbishment of the existing
class 1 and work will be completed over the summer holidays
in time for our new reception starters. Staff are working hard
to prepare for this with relocation of existing equipment –
there are a lot of boxes about the school at the moment! It was
lovely to meet the new September 2012 starters and their
parents and the Teddy Bear Picnic was a great success despite
the weather!
Mrs Ann Griffiths HT Norley CE School
An outbuilding at Peel Hall, Newton, Frodsham has had 8
high value mountain bikes and a green Kawasaki motorcycle
stolen from it sometime between 01:00 and 06:00 Wednesday
13th June. The offender(s) entered through an insecure door.
If you have seen any suspicious activity in the area or if you
have been approached to purchase a mountain bike at a
Norley News—July & August 2012 9
A Blue Vauxhall Insignia DA09 EHK has been stolen from
an address in Townfield Lane, Frodsham sometime between
the hours of 19:00 Wednesday 27th June and 01:00 Thursday
28th June. The vehicle keys were attached to the house keys
and were removed from an insecure rear door to the property.
If you have seen anything suspicious in the area at the
material time or see any vehicle displaying the registration
number detailed above please call the police.
3 Males have been seen acting suspiciously in the area of
Willington Hall Hotel, Tarporley at approximately 01:10 hrs
Thursday 28th June. They were seen to look through
windows and when security lights illuminated, covered their
faces and left the area in a vehicle (no further detail). If you
have seen anything that could assist please contact the police.
A compressor and strimmer was stolen from an outbuilding to
a farm in Onston lane, Crowton mid morning Tuesday 3rd
July. Around the same time a dark blue Ford Van was seen in
the area with two males on board, they were described as
being in their 20’s. If you have seen this vehicle in the area or
anything else that is out of the ordinary around the time in
question please contact the police.
There have been several reports of theft of tractors/trailers
over the last week at various locations on the Rural Area. If
you have any information that you consider could assist in
each of the individual cases please make contact. I would also
ask that all owners of tractors, farmers or otherwise take note
of this recent trend and take appropriate security measures/
review with all your tractors and equipment. Difficult as it
may be to identify due to the hours and locations that tractors
are often seen, if you do see something that doesn’t look right
please call to enable the scenario to be checked out by
officers.
