1 THE RINGSTONE IN AVELAND GROUP OF PARISHES All Saints Dunsby, St Andrews Haconby St Mary & All Saints Kirkby Underwood, St John the Baptist Morton, and St Andrews Rippingale Parish Profile Our Group of churches is looking for a vicar who can offer empathetic and inspiring leadership for five rural parishes, with the ability to mix easily with everyone and provide clear Christian teaching. 1

3 Our vision To acknowledge and honour Jesus Christ in our life and worship. To provide a broad church where everyone will find a warm welcome. To continue to expand our engagement within the communities, from the youngest to the oldest. To develop the Group identity while recognising and celebrating each parishes uniqueness. What do we do well? All parishes are warm and welcoming communities. The current services include Common Worship Eucharists Morning Prayer, BCP Evensong and informal family services. These services are cherished by our worshipping communities. There are dedicated Groups and individuals in each parish who provide expertise and assistance to support ministry in the Benefice. These include the help of retired vicars, lay ministers and administrative support. The churches offer a variety of events which reach out in to their communities. These include coffee mornings, celebratory meals, quiz nights, as well as key community services such as Remembrance and Harvest Services. There are a committed number of organists within the Group. Village Life Magazine shares news about the churches as well as information about activities in the villages and is widely circulated in all villages. All five PCCs are members of the Church Repair Society of the Diocese of Lincoln, and this membership entitles them for a contribution to their Quinquennial Inspection cost. What would we like to do better? Continue to develop Group unity further while recognising each parish s differences. Develop outreach into our communities to make our churches central to village life. Develop the style and range of services and worship which will attract new members, particularly families. Increase the financial stability of our parishes. Encourage new, younger members to a greater involvement in the running of our parish communities. 3

4 Where are we? One of the most striking features of the Ringstone in Aveland Group of Parishes is that, although it is situated on the edge of the Fens in rural Southern Lincolnshire, it is only 3 miles away from Bourne, a town with a population of 19,000 and rising, with easy access to road (A1), bus (Morton) and train (Peterborough) links to major cities across the Midlands. This means that you can enjoy a day out in London, Lincoln or Leeds and yet be in your countryside home in time for tea! Bourne is only 3 miles away from Morton. With a steadily increasing population, it has everything you would expect from a market town: excellent schools, good sports facilities, including a leisure centre, indoor and outdoor pools, a varied selection of shops and supermarkets, 2 dentists, one of which accepts NHS patients, 2 doctors surgeries and plenty of eateries. 4

5 The Villages Dunsby The conservation village of Dunsby is the smallest parish in the Group, having a population of around 130 in some 50 households. Dunsby s economy is dominated by agriculture with 3 large farms and a tree nursery and includes areas of interest to birdwatchers and naturalists. The village was at one time owned by Charterhouse with whom it still enjoys some connections, and maintains good contact with the patron who comes to the licensing of each new vicar Dunsby is a friendly community with a good mix of age groups. The church has use of the village hall, which has recently been refurbished through grants and fundraising, providing a focal point for the village. Haconby Haconby (sometimes spelled Hacconby) has doubled in size in the past twenty years and now has about a hundred and fifty households, with the hamlet of Stainfield to the west of about twenty-five households. There is a good mix of age groups, and the increase in size of the village means there is a combination of new residents along with a significant number of villagers who have lived in the area for many years. The village pub is a focal point for the village, and as well as serving good food has a function room which is used as a meeting place for the village as well as supporting charitable events throughout the year. Kirkby Underwood Kirkby Underwood is a small village of eighty-five homes nestling on rising ground overlooking the fenlands of Lincolnshire to the east. The church stands at the end of its own lane, as a result of the relocation of the village a quarter of a mile eastwards in the C19 by the landowner to improve the shooting on their estate. The Village Hall, which has benefited from recent upgrades, is used regularly several times a week including a Coffee Morning Pop-In on Mondays when everyone from the village is very welcome. There are three working farms in the Parish, as well as a large contractor s plant and machinery dealer and various small businesses. Morton The Parish of Morton comprises two villages, Morton and Hanthorpe. It is the largest village in the Ringstone and Aveland Group with a population that has grown over recent years to approximately 2,500. The vicarage is situated in this village. Facilities in the village are good: there is both a village and church hall, each is well used by the community. There is also a post office/village store along with a convenience store and a recently opened Co-op, along with a pub and various other local businesses. The village is connected to Bourne by a frequent bus service. The village supports various organizations for all ages. There is an annual Street Fair in July which is well supported and provides fund raising for many in the village. Village activities are supported by Morton Townlands Charity (of which the vicar is an ex officio trustee) which distribute monies, 25% of which goes directly to St. John the Baptist Church. Morton is the only village in the Group with a primary school. 5

6 Rippingale Rippingale is a relatively small and compact village. There are five hundred households with a population of approximately 1,100. Since 1998 three housing estates have been developed, enriching the village with many residents who have quickly become involved with the life of this very friendly village. Along with Village Life, the monthly Parish Newsletter detailing news and events is distributed to every household in the village. Rippingale has some facilities to support community life: a village hall, a pub, playing fields and a residential care home. Despite its size, Rippingale offers a good range of community Groups and events for all ages. The THREE Best Things About Living in the Ringstone in Aveland Group 1.

7 The Vicarage The Group Vicarage is located in Morton overlooking the church, in a quiet setting just off the High Street, behind the church hall. It was built in 1997, the year that the present Group was formed. The accommodation consists of 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, lounge, dining room, large study, kitchen and utility with access to the double garage. Outside there is a large paved area for parking at the front and a south facing garden at the rear of the house. 7

11 The Beltisloe Deanery The Ringstone in Aveland Group of Parishes is part of the Deanery of Beltisloe. The Deanery is roughly triangular in shape bounded by Bourne in the east, Colsterworth in the west, and the outskirts of Grantham in the north. There are thirty-four parishes in the Deanery and, with the exception of the town of Bourne and three bigger villages of two thousand plus (including Morton), the Deanery is very rural and sits within rolling countryside of considerable beauty. The Deanery initiated a scheme of pastoral re-organisation in 2013, which involved limiting benefice size to seven parishes. There are six full-time stipendiary benefices in the Deanery, two Local Ordained Priests (OLM s) and there are several retired clergy most of whom take an active involvement in the worshipping ministry of the Deanery. There are two Readers, and many authorised local ministers (ALMs) lay people involved in pastoral and liturgical local ministry. Connected to the pastoral re-organisation is a commitment to collaborative working. The practical implication of this is that the Deanery is set to become a Group Ministry, which enables a greater level of collaborative ministry based upon the aptitude and skills-set of the clergy and lay ministers of the Deanery. It also means that all the clergy will be incumbents and enjoy the traditional stability and morale-building relationship of working with their parishioners within their own benefice, and yet also be prepared and able to support local or Deanery initiatives with others. It is into this collaborative Deanery context that we are looking to strengthen our Deanery team with the next appointment in Ringstone. For many years, the Deanery has had at its heart a focus on mission serving the people of its parishes and seeking to grow discipleship. This is undergirded by prayer and regular meetings of Chapter where we support and encourage each other. Sometimes serious, but almost always punctuated by laughter, our Chapter has proved to be a good antidote to the particular strains and stresses of contemporary ministry. Chapter meets once a month beginning either with Morning Prayer or the Eucharist and finishing at We also meet once a year with Readers. And we have an annual party! The local tradition is for the Deanery to worship together on Sunday evenings in Lent and also once or twice more a year. The Deanery would form a challenging and supportive context for ministry in the Ringstone benefice, and we look forward to welcoming a colleague who has a desire to work collaboratively not only with parishioners, but also to share particular gifts and enthusiasms across the Deanery. Fr. Chris Atkinson, Rural Dean 11

12 About Our Churches All Saints, Dunsby The church provides a focal point for the village with a small regular congregation at Easter, Harvest Festival and Remembrance Sunday; it is also usually full at Christmas. The pattern of services can be seen in Appendix Two. There are 19 parishioners on the electoral role, with about 8 regular worshippers; this is sometimes boosted by worshipers from the other parishes in the Group. The village hall provides an ideal venue for social activities. The terms of its charitable status provide that it may be used without charge for church functions. Fundraising functions for both the village hall and the church, through suppers, film nights and teas, are well attended. As well as the regular worshippers, others in the village generously offer help and contributions for social events and services. An example of the village pulling together is the annual litter pick where tabards are donned and forks primed to pick up detritus from the roadside all the way from the A15 to the other side of the village. It is good for the soul and everyone feels better! A versatile choir The Wednesday Singers hold their practices frequently; they raise funds for the church and other good causes and are often asked to sing at weddings. It s not a church choir but it is run by the church organist. The Church of All Saints is a Grade 1 listed building believed to date from the C12. The last quinquennial review was in there were no major issues raised. 1,500 was paid of the 1,850 required for the parish share in The church has carillon type bells which are rung by our stalwart bell ringers before services and comprise a peel of 8 Hannington chimes donated in The organ is a restored Henry Bevington & Sons instrument built in the 1880 s and restored and installed into our church in 2017, purchased with the help of fund raising and grants. It has a pleasing appearance and an attractive tone. PCC Aspirations To increase the number of people using the church for services, concerts and fundraisers 12

13 St. Andrew, Haconby Over the past nine years there has been a steady growth in attendance at services, some of which are led by the lay ministry team. Details of these services can be seen in Appendix Two. The congregation is open to alternative forms of worship either in our own church or the Group as a whole. The most urgent need is to provide activities and services attractive to the growing community of young people in the village with the focus on prayer and healing for all. We try to witness our faith in the village but also in the wider community. The church is a beautiful Grade 1 listed building, dating from the C12, and are the only church in the Group with a spire. There are chairs rather than pews in the nave, which means the church is well suited for concerts and village events. Regular events are held throughout the year, reaching out to the wider community in Haconby. These include: summer afternoon tea and cakes; Patronal Festival Supper; Harvest Supper; concerts in church; talent concert/fun day and BBQ; Open Gardens. The church has a long-standing connection in Malawi with the Anglican church of St Jacob in the central region. Fundraising has meant that a new church and three houses have been built. Ongoing fundraising has led us to expanding our support to MACS-Malawi association for Christian support which helps other communities to maintain churches and clergy housing, builds classroom blocks for schools and gives medical equipment for clinics and hospitals. The parish share is paid in full. PCC Aspirations The churchyard is in the process of being closed and improved liaison with the Parish Council is assisting greatly with this. Plans to improve heating in the church are underway and will continue with further work. Improvements in lighting, and church facilities and a possible sound system have been identified by the PCC as desirable. 13

14 St. Mary and All Saints, Kirkby Underwood Over the last few years there has been a steady increase in Sunday attendance. The congregation is of a mixed age Group, social and economic background, supported by members of other parishes within the Group and are used to flexible forms of worship. The PCC and Village Hall Committee work together on all major fund-raising activities such as the Summer Fayre, Open Gardens, Annual Produce show. Most events are held in the Village Hall, which the church is able to use for free, but the church building is occasionally used for additional fund-raising events. The PCC publishes a free monthly newsletter that is delivered to all houses in the village giving details of all village events and news. The church is a Grade 1 listed building dating from the C13 with subsequent additions over the centuries. The church has and uses a full set of vestments and has a full set of seasonal banners. The church building and churchyard are well maintained. The PCC is a member of the Church Repair Society of the Diocese of Lincoln, which contributes financially to each Quinquennial Inspection along with additional ringfenced funds deposited by the PCC. Following a theft of lead from the roof in 2011, the south and north nave roofs have been replaced with turn coated stainless steel. St Mary s is fortunate to have 4 working bells, which are rung before services. The last Quinquennial Inspection took place in April No major works were found for the next five years. The parish share is paid in full. Strengths Church is supported financially through village events by many non-worshippers. Church building is in relatively good condition and is 100% insured. The PCC have built up a healthy reserve over the last ten years for any emergencies. The PCC has an annual plan of charitable giving. PCC s Aspirations Encourage more of the younger members of the village in the age group to take part in worship in our church. Encourage more members of the village to attend Worship elsewhere in the Group when no service is in Kirkby Underwood. Continue to maintain the church building in good condition including introducing a sound system and improving the parking. 14

15 St. John the Baptist, Morton The congregation has remained steady in recent years at between worshippers. There is a variety of services each month, which are enhanced by a small but enthusiastic choir. As the largest village in the Group, the majority of occasional services are held in Morton. The Church is blessed in having a Group of committed and enthusiastic parishioners who work hard to develop fellowship within the community. As a result of this regular fundraising and fellowship events are held, including quiz nights, bingo, coffee mornings and our now famous Saturday breakfasts, along with well supported Harvest Suppers and Christmas lunches. The Group supports Bourne Food Bank and Morton provides the centre for donations of food which are sent regularly to the Food Bank. St. John the Baptist Church is an impressive Grade 1 medieval building, standing at the head of Morton High Street. It is the only church in the Group to have its own Church Hall which is conveniently situated opposite the Church. This is a valued amenity, used by both church and village Groups such as the Cubs and Guides. The Cemetery surrounding the Church is now closed for burials and the new cemetery is situated nearby in Haconby Lane. The last quinquennial inspection was in 2015 and no pressing matters were found. The parish share is paid in full. With prayer and the love of God, the church family supported the last incumbent and each other through a difficult period, creating lasting foundations from which to build on the work of the Church in this village and Group. It is hoped the new incumbent will provide us with leadership, spiritual guidance and vigour for our future growth. Strengths The community is keen to embrace leadership that will grow the Church and assist in bringing the Morton communities together. The accounts are sound and there is an income from investments. PCC Aspirations It is recognised that the help and input of new, younger members of the village are greatly needed. There are currently no young persons church groups except the choir. Both the Church and the Church Hall require some repair and renovation, including urgent roof repairs to the Church. Tentative enquiries for improvements and external funding have been made by the PCC who are keen to pursue this work, and recognise that leadership and guidance are needed to move these projects forward. 15

16 Morton C of E Primary School Morton School is a Church of England Primary Academy and has been part of the Lincoln Anglican Academy Trust or LAAT for just over a year. It currently has 172 pupils and in May 2018 is due to open a new custom built nursery facility on the school site offering wraparound care for a capacity of 25 children. It is the only school within the Ringstone in Aveland Group and therefore has a unique relationship with the priest in charge and parish communities. It is a happy and caring school with a strong emphasis throughout on Christian values. Our school aims and values are summarised as: Hand in Hand, together we can Respect, Achieve, Enjoy, Believe Strong links with St John the Baptist church in Morton have been forged with the parish as a whole. Historically the incumbent has always been a member of the Governing Body and is very much part of the life of the school, and this role remains central for the new incumbent. There are currently three members of the Governing body who are active church members, including the Chair of Governors. The Baptist minister is also a member of the Governing body and takes worship in the school. Regular worship is led in the school by the Incumbent, Bishops visitor and members of the lay ministry team. There are at least four services a year when children from the school play a role on a voluntary basis, ably supported by church members who run a regular choir session within the school. The whole school worships in the church at the end of term or for other liturgical events and the church is often used for displays and lessons by the school with the assistance of church members. These events are always well supported by parents. The Incumbent, Baptist Minister, Bishops visitor and Governors meet the Headteacher regularly to discuss the Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS) framework and ensure it is being delivered within the school as well as supporting the pattern of worship throughout the year. This collaboration and engagement between the members of the church and the community resulted in 2016 in the school being rated as outstanding after its SIAMS inspection. a 16

17 St. Andrew, Rippingale Average church attendance has remained fairly static over the past few years and the Church is keen to seek ways to increase this. Currently church services are a mixture of Common Worship Eucharists, Family Service, Morning Prayer and BCP Evensong. The longstanding Plough Sunday Service has now been adopted by the Ringstone in Aveland Group as a Group event and is popular and well supported; latterly all members of the wider agricultural community are invited with some success. Church Involvement within the parish is very active with Churchwardens actively involved in village committees. This means that Village events such as the Annual Feast, take place within the Church, and there are regular attendees from other village clubs at our Coffee Mornings. It is appreciated that local people help do jobs from tidying up the Churchyard to the erection of a rope hand rail to the belfry. The spirit of working jointly has helped us and our respective customers to enjoy both facilities, and has broken down many of the traditional boundaries. that can exist. Landlord of The Bull The Parish Church of St. Andrew is situated in the High Street, opposite the Village Green. It is a Grade 1 listed building dating from the late C13. At the turn of the millennium the South Aisle floor was dug up and replaced with redundant headstones, thus providing a suitable area for refreshments after services, social events, regular monthly coffee mornings and concerts, etc. There is an enthusiastic team of bell ringers, who ring on a regular basis and before services. The finances of St. Andrews are sound, but fund-raising continues for the chancel roof which will cost 40k to repair. The PCC are looking to increase our Parish Share contribution incrementally over the next few years. In the last two years we have paid 4,000 of the 8482 parish share. The PCC meets at the local public house on a regular basis, about every five to six weeks, depending on items to be discussed and the minutes are circulated within one week with action notes. PCC Aspirations To make the church community more visible and central within village life, provide more engagement and thereby increasing church attendance at regular services. 17

18 APPENDICES Appendix One Our People A church is really all about the people in its community. While we value every member of our church communities, we thought it would be helpful to introduce the people who have anything that could be described as an office in the church. All parishes have two Churchwardens, with the exception of Dunsby who currently has one. The Group administrator is Sue O Riordan. Since the vacancy she works from her office at her home. Work undertaken by the administrator: first point of call should someone require a baptism; completion of all administration to do with baptisms, weddings and funerals; the production of the weekly pew sheet; updating Morton parish website; creation and dissemination of service rotas; type-setting of any new service booklets; responding to all correspondence Retired clergy living within the Group: Revd Canon Brian Osborne who lives in Haconby. We are indebted to him, and for a further 5 retired clergy living outside the Group for leading services for us during the vacancy. The Ministry Team consists of five authorised lay ministers who support the work of the priest by leading some non-eucharist services and during the vacancy lead the Wednesday services of Morning Prayer in Morton. 18
