Having worked at Beverley Minster for almost 21 years, Steve has been instrumental in the preservation and repair of this stunning piece of history that took 200 years to build, and is therefore between 800 and 600 years old depending on which part you are looking at.

One of Steve’s current tasks is to replace the lead down-pipes that carry the rainwater from the vast roof into underground drains.  It is not a quick job.  Steve and his team have been working on this project for several years.

Steve told HU17.net ” The down-pipes I’m removing are approximately 100 years old.  They were predominantly two-section pipes, 17ft in length, which have sagged over the years and pulled out of the brackets. The new down-pipes are being fitted with an extra bronze bracket in between the original ones, and all the new joints are welded so they are load-bearing.”

The new pipes have been formed from rolls of lead in the Minster workshops by Steve and his team, and HU17.net were there to see one of these heavy pipes dropped into place high above the ground.  This particular pipe carries the name of the current Vicar of Beverley Minster, Reverend Jeremy Fletcher, carved into the surface.  Each section of pipe weighs around 40-50kg, but as pipes go, it is beautifully crafted and fits like a glove.

Once the new piece of pipe is in place, the edges are eased together using a boxwood dresser, and are rasped smoothed.  Steve immediately treats the surface of the pipe with Patination Oil to prevent rain-water from staining the lead white.

At the top of the down-pipe, at roof-gutter level, Steve re-fits the ‘Hopper-head’, a solid lead collar section that collects rain-water from the roof gulley.  The scaffold platform at this height is very small, so it is a heart-stopping moment when Steve lifts this incredibly heavy 300-year-old piece of the Minster off the roof, and slots it onto the top of the pipe.  It looks perfect, but Steve is not entirely satisfied.  “When you work on a building like this, you soon learn that no two pieces are the same.  They may all look uniform and identical from the ground, but the measurements are slightly different on every one, and we’ve got to get it right.  This building will be here forever, I hope, and everything I do today should still be here in a hundred years or more.  That’s what I love about it.”

Back at ground-level, Steve points out the many other names that he has carved into the pipes during this restoration, including his own.  He also proudly showed off his yard just across the street – a beautifully tidy, lawned square edged with shelters and old brick walls and workshops that have a history all of their own.  Parked in between the neat timber stores and tools is a 100-year-old hand-cart that is still used by the team for moving just about anything in and around the Minster.  “Be it lead pipe-work, iron gates or huge pieces of stone, nothing in this fine building is light-weight, and I don’t know what we’d do without our cart.”

He’s no stranger to delivering enchanting guitar performances that leave the hairs on the back of one’s neck standing up. Recent performances of the “Guitar Whisperer” have taken him to all corners of England where his rapidly growing audiences have enjoyed a guitar show like no other.

In the constantly evolving, sons et lumiere event which is “The Guitar Whisperer” Richard begins with a suite of pieces by the Paraguayan composer and guitarist Agustin Barrios followed by works by Ponce and Villa-Lobos.

From the safety of this vivid music, and with the audience’s trust assured, The Guitar Whisperer takes a journey into an astounding, sensory world. Recording and looping the refrains live, Richard performs Mike Oldfield’s Tubular Bells on ukulele, bodhran, banjo, and guitar, creating an elevating soundscape set to stunningly beautiful visuals including footage of the Apollo moon landings.

Without interruption he then deftly slips into a beautiful version of Debussy’s Arabesque No.1 accompanied by an impressionistic, animated film by artist Miranda Vincent. The show continues with Manuel de Falla’s La Vide Breve which Richard performs as a duet with himself – the second Richard emanating from the soundtrack of another specially commissioned, new film by Miranda.

The climax of the show is totally acoustic and classical – shockingly direct and affecting after the intensity of what has come before.

Tickets are available from Beverley Tourist Information Centre and cost Adults £12, Concessions £10

In April this year the Care Quality Commission (CQC) imposed strict conditions on the Trust’s licence after it continued to fail to meet national response time targets.

Graham said: “The CQC was rightly concerned with the level of service the Ambulance Service was able to give to patients across Yorkshire. Managers have now addressed those failings and I am delighted to hear the Trust has effectively been taken out of special measures.”

And he added: “I hope the Trust will build on this progress and ensure that patients always receive the standard of care they are entitled to expect.”

The CQC today said Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust has made sufficient improvement to emergency response times and it would now lift the condition it had imposed on the Trust’s licence.

CQC said the Trust must continue to maintain the improvement in respect of responding to category A calls (immediately life threatening) within eight minutes.

Conditions were imposed by the CQC on 1 April 2010, when it introduced a tough new registration system for NHS trusts. It was one of 22 trusts judged not to be meeting essential standards of quality and safety and registered on the condition that it made improvements.

At the time of registration, CQC was concerned the Trust had consistently failed to meet national targets on ambulance response times. In particular, it was failing to meet the target requiring ambulances to respond to 75% of Category A calls (life threatening situations) within eight minutes. It required the trust to take urgent action to ensure that by 31 October 2010 it was responding to emergencies defined as “immediately life threatening” promptly in line with national requirements so people who use the services receive safe and appropriate care, treatment and support.

To achieve the improvements managers at the Trust have introduced new rotas to improve staffing levels at times when most calls are received.

A system of using fast response vehicles, manned by paramedics, to get to incidents quickly before they are backed up by double crewed ambulances has also been introduced.

The latest figures for August showed the Trust was responding to 78.82% of Category A calls within eight minutes.

Graham added:

“The Trust has applied itself to the problem and has made welcome improvement. Rural areas tend to be the most neglected and I will be seeking an urgent meeting with the Chief Executive to congratulate him on the improvements but seek reassurance that Beverley and Holderness, as well as other sparsely populated rural areas, are receiving the same quality and attention as larger urban populations.”

As expected Mill Lane United’s first team won beating the second string 3 – 0 with goals from Jordan Dexter, Adam Foster and an own goal from Rob Lever.

Skipper of United’s Saturday side, Terry Jackson returned to action though withdrew midway through the first half raising further doubts about his match fitness.

Jackson who was replaced with the energetic Danny Ako insisted he will be ‘fighting fit’ and ready for this start of the season despite failing to finish any of the pre-season fixtures.

It was an eventful day with some excellent performances, a spectacular stumble and several cases of getting lost.

Steve Jackson was the first Beverley runner to finish.  He completed the 26 mile route in 3 hours and 54 minutes and in second place overall – an excellent performance on such a tough course.

Competing for the first time at Smugglers Trod, Andy Johnson can be excused for getting lost.  He added over a mile to the route but that is all part of the fun of these events.

Sarah Tock had a spectacular stumble over a tree root and sustained cuts, bruises and a black eye.  Although she fell at about 7 miles she carried on to complete the full 26 mile route with lots of support and encouragement from Ivor Roberts.

Taking part for the second time, Tony Beck ran with Smugglers veteran Tim Simpson and finished 23 minutes faster than last year.

Jacqui Dickinson who suffered badly with blisters last year, finished almost 25 minutes faster despite getting lost twice.  She completed the short route with Dianne Coleman who thoroughly enjoyed her first off-road challenge in spite of a fall.  Both found it difficult to follow the path which was covered with heather in some places.

Organised by the Yorkshire Coast branch of the Long Distance Walkers Association, the popular event attracts several hundred people each year.  Competitors navigate their way over challenging terrain and can choose either a 16 or 26 mile route across the moors.  The course provides an excellent alternative to road running and competitors can choose to run or walk.  The route starts and finishes in Robin Hoods Bay following footpaths with spectacular rural scenery and wonderful views of the coast.

Rachel Harrington is a roots musician in the purest sense whose unique artistry captures the deep links between country, gospel and soul. Her songs tell of personal and mythical stories from the American West.

Championed by Bob Harris of BBC Radio 2, her two acclaimed Americana albums both hit the top spot of the Euro-Americana Chart.

She is currently touring the UK with her performances augmented by master guitarist and ex-Lindisfarne hitmaker ROD CLEMENTS whose consummate musicianship and illustrious folk-roots credentials ensure the perfect accompaniment to Rachel’s haunting songs.

Rachel was reared among the Pentecostal pines of Oregon and recalls her earliest musical memories there;

“Hearing Loretta Lynn changed my life. Finally, I had someone I could actually sing like. First time I heard Hank Williams I knew he was coming from the same place as Ray Charles – you can just hear it. As a little girl I’d turn out all the lights and put on the Otis Redding records and stand in front of the big window in the living room, singing into this broken little microphone.”

This love of music blossomed and before long she was performing live shows, opening for Grammy winners and nominees and eventually released her first record – the  critically acclaimed 2007 debut ‘The Bootlegger’s Daughter’.

In 2009, after two years touring internationally including headline spots at Glasgow Americana Festival and the Maverick Festival, Harrington was touted as ‘the hardest working woman in Americana’.

After meeting up and playing together at various festivals last year, Rachel invited Rod Clements to join her for this tour. Rod’s illustrious credentials read like a who’s who of the folk-roots world and his consummately sensitive musicianship and spine-tingling slide guitar adding mood, depth and colour to her timeless material. He is no stranger to The Processed Pea in his own right having played there many times during and after his years with Lindisfarne.

Processed Pea Organiser Martin Peirson added

“We are delighted to have been picked as a venue for the tour – not sure if Rod put in a good word, but either way it’s an honour. There’s something very honest about Rachel’s lovely songs– no pretences, just the real deal beautifully performed.”

The pair were featured last week on BBC Radio 2’s Bob Harris show and said the tour was going exceptionally well.

Date: Tuesday 7 September  8.30pm – Tickets (£10) are available in advance from Beverley Tourist Information  Telephone reservations 01430 810669.

Monthly film shows chronicling the history of Beverley look set to start at the Treasure House in September.

The shows in the Film and Sound Archive Presents series will kick off next month with Black and White Beverley which will show footage shot in the town by prolific local film-maker Ernest Symmons.

Mr Symmons was also the co-founder of the Beverley Picture Playhouse, which opened on Monday, 20 February, 1911.

Over the course of his career, he produced countless local films and newsreels, which were screened at the Playhouse and elsewhere.

At the time, the Playhouse was the only venue in the country to produce its own newsreel.

After Ernest’s death in 1957, a vast quantity of film, around 33,000 feet, was removed from the Playhouse and destroyed as a fire hazard.

Like most other footage from the early to mid twentieth century, it had been produced on highly volatile nitrate film, which is prone to spontaneous combustion.

Some of Mr Symmons’ finest works were transferred to more stable film and now survive under the care of East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s archives and local studies service.

Collections officer, Sam Bartle, said:  “It’s a real privilege that we’re able to put on a show of these films to the Beverley public.  This will be a treat for any Beverlonian who lived in the town during the 1930s and 40s, and went to the Picture Playhouse.”

The show will include the 1937 films ‘Beverley Through The Ages’, and ‘The Romance Of Leather’, covering a historical pageant procession in the town, and the works of Hodgson’s Tannery respectively.

Also featured are the 1945 road safety film ‘The Man With The Notebook’, and newsreel footage of Beverley fundraising events during the second world war.

Black and White Beverley will be screened on Thursday, 23 September, at 6.30pm, in the Treasure House’s education room.

Admission is free, though booking is essential as places are limited.

To book tickets, call (01482) 392790, or visit the archives and local studies service at the Treasure House, in Champney Road, Beverley.

Nick’s crime thriller, ‘Broken Dreams’, introduces private investigator, Joe Geraghty, as Hull’s newest crime fighter.

Nick Quantrill finds himself among some of the best crime fiction writers in the UK including Ian Rankin in the Best of British selection.  Quantrill’s own novel, Broken Dreams has been compared to Rankin’s Rebus series.

Nick said

“This has been a great year and a year of firsts for me and my book signing at WHSmith’s at Beverley is another first for me.  This is the first time I have signed at any WHS store.”

Nick will be in the Beverley WHS store from 11am until 1pm and 2pm until 4pm. Watch the video on YouTube

Synopsis – ‘Broken Dreams by Nick Quantrill

Joe Geraghty, Private Investigator, is used to struggling from one case to the next, barely making the rent on his small office in the Old Town of Hull. Invited by a local businessman to investigate a member of his staff’s absenteeism, it’s the kind of surveillance work that Geraghty and his small team have performed countless times.

When Jennifer Murdoch is found bleeding to death, Geraghty quickly finds himself trapped in the middle of a police investigation which stretches back to the days when the city had a thriving fishing industry. As the woman’s tangled private life begins to unravel, the trail leads Geraghty to local gangster-turned-respectable businessman, Frank Salford, a man with a significant stake in the city’s regeneration plans. Still haunted by the death of his wife in a house fire, it seems the people with the answers Geraghty wants are the police and Salford, both of whom want his co-operation for their own ends. With everything at stake, some would go to any length to get what they want, Geraghty included.

Nick was a winner of the HarperCollins Crime Tour Competition in 2006 for his short story ‘Punishment’ before he went on to complete Broken Dreams.

Broken Dreams is available as a paperback from all good bookstores and to download as an eBook from all good eBook stores including Amazon.

Carole Shaw from Beverley suffered a devastating loss earlier this year when her son Richard took his own life, aged just 23.  In the months that have followed, she has turned for support to the National charity SOBS (Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide), and this weekend Carole organised a fund-raising evening to raise money for SOBS, and also for a group that she is starting up for families in the Beverley area.

Friends and family joined locals in the Lincoln Arms for a ‘Games Night’, where all money passing over the card tables went straight into the collecting bucket.  The Lincoln Arms laid on hot food for everyone, and at the end of the night, the winner Chris Smith was handed a magnificent trophy.

Carole told Hu17.net “We haven’t got a name for our group yet, but we’re working on that.  This fund-raising evening is the first time we have promoted our group, and our launch meeting is set for Wednesday 22nd September at the Well One Clinic off Swinemoor Lane in Beverley.

“Initially, it will be a support group for families.  We’ve got a Bereavement Councillor on board to help us with that work.  I myself am a trained Psychiatric Nurse.  I already have a lot of experience in this field, both professionally and personally, and I intend to do some courses so that I can learn as much as possible about suicide – why people want to do it, and what can we implement to help them if they are in distress.   In this way, we would not only be of support to families, but we could also do some intervention work to rescue local people who might be thinking of hurting themselves.

“I don’t want Richard’s memory to go unmarked.  I hope that by really helping people in this area with support that is on their doorstep, we can make a real difference.”

World Suicide Prevention Day.  The International Association for Suicide Prevention  ( www.iasp.info ) invites you to light a candle near a window at 8pm on September 10th to show your support for suicide prevention, to remember a lost loved one, and for the survivors of suicide.

Goforth was out for 64, in the process passing 700 runs for the 4th XI this season, and Fish went on to narrowly miss his maiden senior half century when he was bowled for 49. At 155 for 3 with nine overs remaining Beverley hoped to break the 200 mark but despite 18 from Gareth Richardson, 11 from Jamie Roe and an unbeaten 21 from Sam Welburn they fell just short on 197 for 6.

If the Beverley batting line up had an inexperienced look about it the bowling certainly did. One under 13 and three Under 15 players made up the bulk of the attack. James Grainger bowled well to take 1 for 27 from ten overs while both Jamie Roe (0-23) and Kes Thompson (0-23) both produced very good spells. Spud McMullen lacked last weeks consistency but still managed to claim two wickets. Welburn bowled ten overs without taking a wicket while Goforth entered the attack to claim one victim as Ferriby won with just five balls to spare.

Beverley 4th XI lost to North Ferriby 2nd XI by 5 wickets, Beverley Town CC 4th XI 197 for 6 North Ferriby 201 for 5

Alex Morrell gave his side the perfect start when he took a wicket with the first ball of the game. It took a third wicket stand of 106, which starred the impressive Dom Rhodes (77), to put the visitors back in the game though Town should have had him dismissed as chances of varying degrees of difficulty went begging.

Though chances were spilled Beverley did record three run outs as their fielding improved markedly in the second half of the innings. A fifty from Will Rhodes left Fenner on 206 for 6 from a reduced allocation of 47 overs. Morrell, with 2 for 60 and Jamie Mitchell (1-40) were the only bowlers to take wickets though, once again, Simon Roe was economical in bowling 13 overs for 42.

Opener Iain Gillyon (36) led the Beverley response and Jon Fisher, in form and by a long way Town’s major run-maker this season, weighed in with 37 before holing out near the boundary. Then it was the turn of Jamie Mitchell to impose himself on the Fenner attack. A series of superb shots, including one majestic on drive, in tandem with an important, timely and aggressive contribution from Jon Vodden (19), put Town within sight of the winning post.

Captain Alan Acklam (15 no) attacked from ball one and launched a massive six to win the game with Mitchell undefeated on a fine 60, and the game was won with more than three overs to spare.

Beverley 1st XI beat Fenner 1st XI by 5 wickets, Fenner 206 for 6 Beverley Town CC 1st XI 210 for 5

The home side knew this would be a tough match, with Ferriby containing a number of quality players. They finished in 4th position last season, narrowly missing out on the runners up spot.

After just 6 minutes Hodgsons took the lead through top marksman Adam Foster. On 15 mins Hodgsons were awarded a penalty. Shaun Gibson stepped up and although he struck the ball well, it was at a nice height for the keeper to palm around his post.

The home side did score for a second time 2 minutes later, again Foster found the net courtesy of pass from strike partner Richard Durham.

Ferriby pulled a goal back on 25 mins, before Foster completed a first half hatrick from the penalty spot after a foul on winger Danny Atkinson. In the final minute of the 1st half Ferriby grabbed a 2nd goal to leave the scoreline delicatley poised at 3-2 to the tanners.
