The aim of The Upper Tas Valley Benefice

is to grow in faith, unity and love through

God and to share the Good News of

Jesus Christ in our communities.

Introduction

The Upper Tas Valley Benefice, within the Diocese of Norwich, is a group of 8 churches and 4 primary schools situated in rural South Norfolk.

In July of this year, our Incumbent, the Rev Suzanne Cooke, moved on to a new ministry in the North East leaving a vacancy within our Benefice.

After discussions with the Diocese, we are delighted to announce that the new post is full-time in place of the previous part-time arrangement. A fundamental part of this role expansion is to enhance the relationship with our four church VA schools in recognition that these children represent all our futures and opportunities.

We regard our Benefice as a broadly based team with a wide range of capabilities and life experiences. Whilst we live in a changing world, some things need to stay the same but other things must change and grow. Whilst we are keen to embrace new ideas we are always attempting to achieve a good balance. The role and requirements are set out in the following pages describing what we do, how we do it - and how we see ourselves, together with our Ethos Mission and working culture. (See Appendix 4.) We welcome potential candidates to come and meet us, to get to know us and to allow us to get to know them. You will receive a warm welcome. In due course, we look forward to working with the chosen candidate in the next stage of our Benefice journey and Mission.

UTVB Incumbent: Description of the Role

We are delighted to offer this new full time role in the Upper Tas Valley Benefice. This unique role has been developed in two parts: the first as Minister to all churches within the Benefice; the second to develop strong relationships with our four primary schools. This new and expanded role is expected to be shaped by the candidate to encourage community based mission with children and family engagement at its heart.

An important aspect is Diocese support to the role to enable the incumbent to dedicate more of their time with schools. This special support is intended to provide the Incumbent with sufficient time to make a meaningful difference.

Our two Benefice Parishes strongly support this model. We will play our part by sharing the burden for church administration. The Benefice has Churchwardens in place for all our churches. We also have experienced voluntary support for finance and administration. In turn, we will welcome a collaborative leader to bring fresh ideas and to encourage both existing and new, younger volunteers to contribute to the Benefice-wide team.

Qualities required:

 A collaborative leader with ability to nurture close relationships with our churches and voluntary teams in the Benefice

 A passion to work with children and families: promoting the development of constructive links with schools, school staff and governors

 A creative person who enjoys both traditional service, new ideas and encouraging new forms of worship within schools and Parishes.

 Someone who recognises the importance of pastoral support both personally, and in concert with, the Ministry team.

 Someone visible within the rural community: where possible, supporting fund-raising activities and community events to bring mission into the community.

 Encourage growth in spirituality within the Benefice and the ongoing development of the Ministry team.

 An ability to balance the immediate demands of a multiple church Benefice with the longer term development work in schools.

Tenure: The appointment will be made under the 'interim ministry' provisions of Common Tenure, for a fixed five year term with the possibility of this being extended.

A Question to You …..

The rural situation of our Benefice in the relatively wealthy southern part of the UK brings challenges. Engagement with schools is only the first stage in providing care and guidance for the future. Even with good levels of employment, young people are seeking scarce social or affordable housing. Neither must we forget the growing needs of an elderly population within their existing communities. This role provides the opportunity to reach these parts of our community whose needs are not being supported. We especially look forward to hearing the views of our candidates on each of these matters.

Upper Tas Valley Benefice

Readers:

Secretaries:

Churchwardens:

The Upper Tas Valley Benefice is made up of two individual PCCs: Upper Tas Valley All Saints (UTVAS), and Fundenhall. UTVAS is a single parish PCC, comprising the five separate church parishes of: Ashwellthorpe, Forncett, which has three church buildings, Hapton, Tacolneston and Wreningham. As a single parish PCC, UTVAS

only requires four PCC meetings each year, plus the annual general meeting (AGM). The Standing Orders for UTVAS are shown in Appendix 2. Fundenhall PCC - see Appendix 3, hold their four separate PCC meetings and their own AGM. The two PCCs work together, as a Benefice, through a system of sub-committees and on joint events.

Ministry Team

A Ministry Team was formed to support all aspects of ministry across the Benefice, both in the churches and community. The team is currently working to maintain regular Sunday services and support the community when there is a need for a baptism, wedding or funeral service to be arranged. The team will continue to support the new Incumbent in various areas such as working with children and young people, pastoral care, mission and worship, social events, and prayer and fellowship groups.

Pastoral

The pastoral group meets regularly to talk and pray about various issues effecting the Benefice and its people. They offer support for the sick, bereaved and lonely, and provide support for one another.

Holy Communion at Home

One of our lay ministers offers communion by extension to those unable to attend church when required and to the Austhorpe House Nursing Home in Forncett each month. The intention is to continue offering communion to those unable to attend church.

Social

Sunday lunches are held at the Jolly Farmers public house on special occasions, and a monthly lunch club has been established for some time. Many of the churches run additional social and/or fundraising events.

Open Churches

Churches have taken part in the Open Churches Week since its launch by the Diocese of Norwich. Most churches are open daily in the summer months, with keys available at other times.

Prayer and Bible Study

The Benefice has a mid-week morning prayer meeting at 9.30am each Thursday. There is a fellowship group which meets on a Wednesday evening, to offer individual prayer.

Benefice Magazine

The Benefice produces a bi-monthly magazine which advertises services and events and includes articles of a spiritual nature. It is an important outreach tool; 420 homes across the Benefice received it, for which they pay an annual subscription. A small team help to assemble material for the Benefice magazine, service sheets, and notices and music for Sunday services. A typical Monthly Diary and Monthly Service Pattern are shown in Appendix 1.

Each church also has its own set of ‘A Church Near You’ website pages which are regularly updated. The Benefice designs, prints and delivers Christmas and Easter cards to every home in the Benefice.

Administration

The Treasurer currently provides voluntary administrative support as well as financial services to the Benefice. At the present time, the Treasurer also handles all administrative matters for baptisms, weddings, funerals and monuments and makes arrangements for organists and vergers.

(7)

Finance and Fundraising

The Benefice and churches organize a number of fundraising events each year to cover additional expenses. The biggest Benefice event is a ‘Winter Warmer’ social held at the end of January. In addition, there is a plant sale held in May and the Christmas ‘Carol Crawl’, visiting local public houses, is now in its fourth year.

Churches in the Benefice each have their own community support, either as a constituted Friends Group or a less formal Churchwardens support team. Each of the churches run fundraising events mainly towards church expenses and the maintenance of their buildings. Many of these, as well as providing valuable income, act as outreach to the immediate community. The wider community are always willing to help raise funds for the

preservation of these historic buildings. A number of our churches are also seeking funding from National Lottery and other grant providers.

The majority of the money needed for the parish share and day to day expenses is provided by monthly gift aided standing orders, Sunday collections and fund raising. Currently we achieve approximately 85% of our parish share.

Ashwellthorpe

Ashwellthorpe is a small village and it comprises 301 households, 756 people.

All Saints church stands on the main road to the east end of the village. It is said to date from the 13th century. The nave is full of light due to the very large windows. Denoting its great age there is a step down into the chancel. At the entrance to the north chapel stands the alabaster tomb of Sir Edmund de Thorp and his wife. This dates from about 1418. In the north chapel there is a full-sized facsimile of the Ashwellthorpe Triptych, donated by the Art Fund in 2011. (The original is in the Castle

Museum, Norwich.) In the 1990’s the church underwent major internal work and replaced the pews with upholstered chairs.

Ashwellthorpe is within easy access to the town of Wymondham and the city of Norwich. There is a small industrial estate on the outskirts. Most of the primary age children go to Wreningham school.

The village play area is situated behind Knyvett Green and the wonderful Lower Wood (Norfolk Wildlife Trust reserve) lies along the street.

Forncett

Forncett is positioned in the Upper Tas Valley in South Norfolk, some 12 miles south of Norwich. It consists of three villages, Forncett St Peter, Forncett St Mary, and Forncett End. The parish of Forncett has approximately 450 households. There is a VA Primary School in Forncett St Peter. The village has an excellent monthly magazine, The Forncett Flyer, an informative website www.forncett.info, a popular gardening club and an allotment association. A harvest supper is organised annually to raise additional funds. A long-established Industrial Steam Museum attracts many visitors to the village. The Jolly Farmers pub at Forncett End hosts social events for the parish including both Sunday and men’s monthly lunches.

Forncett has three active churches: the parish church of St Peter and St Paul in Forncett St Peter, the ‘mission church’ of St Edmund’s in Forncett End; and the parish church of Forncett St Mary.

The Church of St Peter & St Paul, Forncett St Peter

The parish church in Forncett St Peter is an imposing Grade I listed building, distinguished by a splendid pre-Norman round tower which houses a fine peal of six bells. The church is also renowned for its impressive pew ends and stands in its own extensive churchyard. The adjacent Georgian Rectory, with its Wordsworth connection, is now

privately owned. The church, which is open every day of the year, is used regularly for baptisms, weddings and funerals. The Grade II war memorial in the churchyard is the focus of the parish Remembrance Day service,

alternating with one near the church in Forncett St Mary. Forncett VA School visits the church regularly, especially for whole school occasions, and is keen to collaborate. A church guide gives full details of the history of the churches in Forncett.

St Edmund’s Church, Forncett End

St Edmund’s Church was built in 1904 as the ‘mission church’ for Forncett End and holds regular services. A great deal of effort has gone into fundraising since the millennium, in particular an annual fete and music event. This has had tangible results; new lighting and heating, new roof

and installation of WC and mini-kitchen, plus some refurbishment of windows. Much of this has been achieved with the help of an ‘ad hoc‘ Friends group, who have recently initiated a weekly mini-café. The churchwarden has also organised bi-monthly coffee mornings to finance church expenses; they attract a wide range of people to the ‘little church in the meadow’.

St Mary’s Church, Forncett St Mary

This handsome Grade I listed church is located opposite the village hall and overlooks the long-distance footpath, The Tas Valley Way. A ‘Friends of St Mary’s’

group was set up in 2009 and has approximately 90 members. The church was closed for over 30 years, and was removed from redundancy and reconsecrated in 2012. It has undergone extensive restoration with funds being provided by various sources including the Friends group, and Heritage Lottery. It is available for church

services and is particularly suitable for community events.

Fund-raising events held in the church continue to be very successful and have helped to meet the cost of restoration.

Fundenhall

Fundenhall is a small rural community in the middle of the Upper Tas Valley Benefice. There are approximately 350 inhabitants.

St Nicholas is a fine example of a medieval church. Listed in the Domesday Book, it is unusual in having a large central square tower that divides the nave from the chancel, a rare rood loft and has decorative stonework made from Caen stone. From being on the on the Heritage at-risk register, in 2006, the fantastic effort of the local community and over ten years of fundraising, with major grants from English Heritage and Heritage

Lottery Funding, the church has been restored and re- ordered. It is now a warm, welcoming and flexible

building used for worship and both community and social events.

We have established a regular monthly Community breakfast as a modern form of worship and living Christian values. This is popular and has increased the average attendance from 9 to over 30.

The new facilities make this a perfect venue for social and fund raising events. It holds regular stained glass workshops and has hosted a major WW1 exhibition incorporating a sculpture made from 14 poppies from the Tower of London: one poppy for each village serviceman who lost his life.

The church has developed education days and science based workshops with local schools. This included the design and construction of a new stained glass window for Wreningham School. This illustrates the interest from Schools in developing educational links with the churches.

Community involvement is a key feature of the Parish and members of the community developed a Christmas Tree Festival based around St Nicholas day. One tree was constructed from hundreds of donated soft toys. These were then forwarded to local nurseries and charities.

The closure and subsequent restoration has demonstrated that we care about our heritage, living Christian values and helping others.

Hapton

Hapton is a quiet rural village of about 150 people in 72 dwellings situated nine miles south of Norwich.

St Margaret’s Church is the second smallest church in the Upper Tas Valley All Saints Benefice in an attractive setting high on the north side overlooking the village. The well kept graveyard is frequently used by walkers passing through this picturesque area. The building itself is in generally sound condition.

Hapton School regularly uses the church for special services and events throughout the year and the School also uses the small Church Room which is located in the

school playground. This Room has recently been refurbished by Norfolk County Council for use as a kitchen and dining area for which the PCC receives a small annual rent.

Tacolneston

Tacolneston is a village of around 680 adults situated some ten miles south of Norwich. It is one of many quiet and picturesque villages set within South Norfolk.

The church building of flint and freestone, dates back to the 13th century though there was extensive rebuilding around the beginning of the 16th century comprising chancel, nave, south aisle, south porch and western tower. There is no clerestory and the arch-braced roof is continuous so there is no chancel arch. The pulpit is Jacobean and there is a consecration cross on the north wall of the chancel.

There have been further additions and renovations including the reredos, choir stalls and organ in the 19th century. There are chairs rather than pews which makes a pleasing and versatile worship and community space in the nave.

We have a 'Friends of Tacolneston Church' group who care for the fabric of the church and organise fund raising events.

The village primary school (Church of England Voluntary Controlled) dates from 1870. It was enlarged in recent years and now has 76 pupils. The church membership has strong links with the school and seeks active involvement with this important village amenity, so much so that pupils use the parish church as the venue for their Christmas, and Harvest services.

Wreningham

Wreningham is a rural parish consisting of about 240 homes. The village school caters for about 100 children under 11 years old drawn from surrounding villages. The local pub “The Bird in Hand” is a friendly meeting place. The church building, which seats about 100 people, is in good repair but still retains the old pews. There is an extensive burial ground, extra land having been purchased about 15 years ago. A further piece of land has more recently been purchased to make a car park.

The oldest part of the church is the base of the tower

which is 13th century the chancel dates from the 14th century and the nave from the 15th century. The church was restored and the tower rebuilt in the middle of the 19th century At this time a north

transept was added. There are a number of commemorative stained glass windows.

There are 4 bells in the tower, rededicated in 1981, which are each dedicated to the memory of village people.

We have a 9.30am BCP Holy Communion service each month and the occasional special service. The regular support at services has increased in recent years and there is a very committed and strong team of volunteers who help with cleaning, churchyard maintenance, flower arranging and offer help with fundraising events. The school children, with their parents, attend the end of term Christingle in the church.

Wreningham has a link with a church in the Chivu Province of Zimbabwe which is named after our church.

Schools

Forncett, Hapton, Tacolneston

and Wreningham primary schools cover

the entire Benefice

There are four Church Schools in the Benefice. All the schools have a strong Christian ethos supported by staff and governors. Members of the Christian community give support: in some cases as governors and in others assisting with worship.

All schools have been subject to SIAMS inspections in the past three years. These give a full picture of the ethos and its application and the reports can be found on the school websites.

All the schools are keen to work closely with the church with regard to support for worship through assemblies, occasional services and RE. In recognition of this the Bishop has approved the appointment of a full-time Incumbent with a particular responsibility to develop schools work.

Notes:

Tacolneston is federated with Morley school located outside the Benefice. Laura Green is the executive headteacher of the Federation.

The Rectory

The Rectory, built in the 1980s, has four bedrooms, two bathrooms (one ensuite) and oil-fired central heating. Downstairs there is a good sized kitchen, utility room, dining room and dual aspect lounge. There is a mature garden with trees and lawns. The property is on a small estate of similar houses situated centrally in the Benefice in the parish of Tacolneston. The study, which is accessed through the main front door of the house, is separated from the living rooms of the house by a door with obscured glass. There is a single garage and parking in front of the house.

In addition to the 4 primary schools there are excellent secondary schools in the area including Wymondham High School and Wymondham College.

The Benefice Area in South Norfolk

The Upper Tas Valley Benefice comprises a rural area to the south of Norwich and lies in the District of South Norfolk. Our demographic is probably typical of South Norfolk: an area based on its agricultural past, with better than average employment levels and proportionately higher levels of retired people. The Benefice area acts as a dormitory for Norwich and various surrounding small towns. The area is also close to major tourist spots: notably the Norfolk Broads.

There is a well-documented past. Some of our churches can trace their roots to the early Middle Ages whilst the Romans, Vikings and Normans each made their various marks.

The area has seen growth and gradual increases in wealth over many years. Improvements to air, road and rail transport links together with

electronic connectivity have progressively overcome the traditional view of the region being “remote”. Norfolk has continuing plans for population and employment growth although much of this will take place within greater Norwich. For the South Norfolk district, most developments are anticipated to fall within the small towns surrounding the Benefice area. Much more limited developments are mooted for the parishes inside the Benefice.

At a regional level, the new “tech corridor” is growing along the Norwich to Cambridge A11 trunk road. This builds on existing industries and institutions such as the nearby Hethel Engineering Centre. The Benefice area is directly fringed by this A11 zone.

Appendix 2: Parish of Upper Tas Valley All Saints (UTVAS)

Standing Orders for the Parochial Church Council:

The single parish Parochial Church Council (PCC), representing the parishes of Forncett, Hapton, Wreningham, Ashwellthorpe and Tacolneston, is created within the scope of Mission and Pastoral Measure 2011. Under the Church Representation Rules 2017 (CRR) scheme, Local Church Councils (LCC) can be created to represent the churches within the parish at local level. This is permitted given that the LCCs are operating under devolved powers from the Parochial Church Council (PCC). The PCC’s general functions are governed in the Parochial Church Council (Powers) Measures 1956, section 2. There will be a minimum of four general meetings per year, plus the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM).

The structure of the PCC will consist of the following Ex Officio members:

Additional members can be either elected at the APCM or co-opted during the year. The Secretary and Treasurer will either already be appointed to the Council in the capacity of Churchwarden or co-opted at the first PCC meeting, in either a paid or unpaid position. Voting rights would not apply to any paid position. To qualify for PCC elected membership, applicants must meet the criteria laid down in the PCC Measure (1956). In churches where there is more than one Churchwarden, they have the option of attending PCC meetings in rotation.

Local Church Councils (LCCs)

Referred to and established as District Church Councils (DCCs), these can also be called LCCs. They operate under devolved powers from the Upper Tas Valley All Saints (UTVAS) PCC to whom they are di-rectly responsible and derive their status. They control matters at local level but have no legal, corporate or charitable status in their own right. Where there are insufficient members to form an LCC, control of the parish rests with the PCC. Provided there is one appointed, the Churchwarden or other authorised person, will represent the parish on the PCC. The LCC should not normally exceed 8 in number but, if necessary, further members can be co-opted. There is no statutory requirement for the Incumbent to attend the meetings; it will comprise Chair, Secretary, Churchwarden(s) Assistant Churchwarden(s) and other lay members. Members are voted into office at the LCC annual meeting. The Churchwardens, are elected into office at the UTVAS APCM and represent their parish church on the PCC. If the Churchwarden is unable to attend a PCC meeting, a deputy can be authorised to attend. The LCCs should normally hold a minimum of 5 meetings per year, including their annual meeting. Where necessary, a written report of these meetings are submitted to the PCC Secretary. The Churchwarden, or authorised person, will submit a verbal report at the Churchwardens Forum section of the PCC meeting. If there is a particular lengthy topic for discussion then a written report will be submitted prior to the meeting. For the UTVAS APCM, the LCC Secretary (or authorised person) produces an annual and church fabric report. This is forwarded to the PCC Secretary and forms part of the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM). Changes to the LCC Standing Orders can be put forward to the PCC for discussion and final approval.

Finance

The LCC fabric accounts, and the PCC general account, are maintained by the PCC Treasurer. Once

approved by the LCCs, payments will not normally be challenged retrospectively by the PCC unless they are deemed to be unreasonable, unsafe, or illegal and breaching the trustee code of conduct. All payments authorised to the PCC Treasurer must have approval of the LCC. Where an LCC does not exist the Incumbent or, in the case of an interregnum, the PCC Lay Chair must be consulted by the Churchwarden, or other authorised representative, in order for approval to be obtained. Individuals are

not permitted to authorise payments on a solus basis.

Grant Applications

LCCs are responsible for researching grant applications and associated fundraising. Grant applications are completed and submitted in the name of the PCC. The PCC can only veto any resolution, decision, grant application or payment of funds if it is deemed illegal or unsafe, thus placing a liability on the PCC in their role as trustees.

Friends Groups and Restoration Committees

Friends groups are constituted as part of the PCC. In the case of Forncett St Mary they produce their own verified annual accounts. These accounts are presented alongside the PCC accounts at the APCM. The friends group is responsible to the PCC via the LCC’s, thus maintaining its charitable status. Future friends groups will be constituted after discussion with the PCC. If a non-aligned charitable trust exists, either as a restoration committee or friends group, then no liability is accepted for its actions by the LCC’s or PCC. All accounting and bank information must be kept entirely separate. These groups are governed by their own constitution, nominate trustees and operate strictly within the boundaries set by the Charities Commission and their main objects clause.

Churchwardens and Fabric Officers

Churchwardens are elected at the UTVAS APCM; they also serve as parish wardens and, if available, are free to help with duties at other churches where either there may be a vacancy or the Churchwarden is temporarily unavailable. They are appointed under the provisions of the Churchwardens Measure 2001 – Section B, para 10/11. Their principal duties are set out under The Care of Churches and Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction Measure 1991. Where necessary, Assistant Churchwardens and Fabric Officers can be appointed by the LCC at their annual meeting either separately, or as a combined position. They will have the same duties and responsibilities to the Parish Priest, the PCC and the congregation as the Church-wardens have and will be expected to make a public declaration during a service at their church. Although not members of the PCC they would be members of the LCC and help with the general running of the church, including in the absence of a Churchwarden, maintenance of the inventory and terrier. If the position of Churchwarden is vacant then, provided an assistant is in place, the church can continue to function until an official appointment is confirmed. Assistant Churchwardens would be able to set rotas for opening, cleaning, flower arranging and other associated duties.

School Governors

Where appropriate these are appointed by the new PCC after discussion and agreement with the local church councils (LCCs).

Sub-committees

These are appointed as necessary.
