It was a 'come and go as you please' continuous one hour programme - from 2.15pm till 5.30pm -
of deliciously tuneful music from the 12th to 16th centuries.
King Henry’s Band plays a wide variety of fascinating and amusing early instruments.
It was featured in the EDP (October 2008) and it was a highlight of the St Nicholas Day Mediaeval Fayre into see pictures of the afternoon click on the picture on left.
Ten lovely photographs were given into my keeping during the King Henry's Band performance (see left) in the church, by a photographer who was passing through on Dec 6th'08 and again on Aug 9th '09. See these pictures and all about it by clicking on the picture above.

A few paragraphs from the 'hand-out' at the Exhibition
Visit the Church and see the exhibition
"Drawing the Line" is intended to have multiple associations beyond the straightforward act of drawing; the line of defence in wartime or in a local sense the coastal defences of Norfolk. A further reference is personal . . .
to read this bit click here. . . . The line between water and land in Norfolk is a frontier between stubborn land and the encroaching sea. In "Drawing the Line" there is a juxtaposition of the results of that battle and man's capacity to create similar conflict. The desolation and emptiness of the fields of battle in France creates images that are reflected in the battered and overturned barriers set up to defend the coastline.
In "Drawing the LIne I have used images from the vulnerasble coastline alongside photographs - some taken by my father - of the devastated landscape of war. I have used collage combined with the drawn line to create a resonance suggesting both other times and today's realities as climate change and rising seas escalate and renew their assault on the beaches, marshes and cliffs of North Norfolk. Increasingly I've enjoyed using layers of collage to explore the subtle, random but cohesive imagery that both subjects provide and adapting my drawing skills to the images that the coastline creates.

J. S. BACH'S 'SAINT JOHN PASSION'
at Salthouse St. Nicholason GOOD FRIDAY
After the catastrophe on Good Friday last year when the second half of the Kelling Consort and Orchestra’s performance of the St John Passion in St Nicholas Church, Salthouse had to be abandoned because of the failure of the church’s electrical system it was a cause for rejoicing that the conductor, Angela Dugdale, having first ensured that the electricity had been suitably fortified against a repetition of the disaster, decided to give us a repeat performance of the whole work on the following Good Friday. It proved to be well worth waiting a year for.
All Bach’s sacred compositions present a huge challenge to singers and instrumentalists alike, not so much for their technical difficulties, though these can be demanding enough, but because of the extraordinary emotional intensity with which the music is imbued. Last night, the Kelling Consort and Orchestra, both of the small size that Bach employed himself, rose splendidly to the challenge.
Christopher Barnes sang the Evangelist’s role with great expressiveness and purity of tone, although having to sing the tenor arias as well evidently put some strain on his voice. His rendering of the phrase ‘and wept bitterly’ at the end of Peter’s denial, which is one of the most moving moments in the whole work, was infinitely poignant. Christopher Gadd, who sang Christ and the bass arias, also gave a beautifully nuanced performance and, ironically, only showed signs of flagging in the aria ‘Haste all ye whose souls are weary’. The soprano and contralto soloists, Chloe Barnet and Vera Cooke, both performed competently, but lacked the dynamism of their male counterparts. However, Vera Cooke’s rendering of ‘It is finished’ was memorably eloquent.
The chorus, after a slightly hesitant beginning and some rather rough singing in the tenors and basses, soon got into their stride and sang with attack and increasing confidence. They produced a rich, warm sound, especially in the chorales, and the audience was reduced to a respectful and reverent silence in those chorales which they had been invited to sing with the choir. The numerous dramatic interjections were handled with commendable precision and clarity, notably the notoriously difficult ‘Oh where’, the tricky chromatic passages in ‘If this man were not a malefactor’ and the complicated counterpoint of ‘Away with Him’.
The orchestra achieved a nicely judged balance with the choir and the soloists, and the obbligato playing of both wind and strings was especially noteworthy. Bruce Grindlay played the continuo and sang the role of Peter with equal authority.
Altogether, this was a performance of one of Bach’s most sublime works that both as an act of worship and a feat of musicianship would not have displeased the composer himself.

FUNERAL Service and THANKSGIVING
for the life of DOROTHY THOMSON
Dorothy Thomson, well known and well loved, ex-Churchwarden of Salthouse, died at her home on the 3rd of September 2007 surrounded by her family.
St Nicholas' church was filled on Monday 10th September for the Funeral and Celebratory service of Thanksgiving for the life of Dorothy. Dorothy was remembered and celebrated by heart-warming accounts from her son-in-law Jay and her granddaughter Lucy. The service was taken by Father Phil and by Revd Martin Oram, a friend of the family, with Revd Angela Dugdale playing the organ and finally glorifying everything by singing the Nunc Dimittis. The reception was held at Edenfield, the cottage of Birkin Haward, and the sun shone. see her page

Above: Reverend Charles Swainson Rector of Salthouse and Kelling 1930 - 1945
Churchwarden Frederick Champion de Crespigny
with Alec Morse, his bearer.
When Britain was under the threat of invasion during the second world war, the Rev'd Charles Swainson and his churchwarden Frederick Champion de Crespigny, took the precaution of hiding the oldest parish records away from possible harm somewhere underground in the churchyard. When the war ended the churchwarden had moved away and Charles Swainson was recovering from an illness in a nursing home. The 1538 parish register stayed where it was underground until 1959 when it was discovered in an unreadable state.
Now —having experienced the current excitement and delight connected with the gradual bringing back to life of the old document and its contents— I begin to wonder if Charles Swainson and his churchwarden's action might have been in the nature of one of those 'mysterious ways' in which God is known to work; creating challenges and surprises which stimulate far-reaching developments!
—The fascination of the dramatic story has attracted the local press and TV so that publicity has been drawn to what the Norfolk Record Office is so lovingly undertaking; their expert skill and the technology which has evolved for the purpose of repairing such damage.There is such a community spirit about the whole venture which has drawn attention to the value and the contents of these rescued parchment pages and, had it not happened, a lot of people would have been the poorer.
How interested in all this those two might be if they could see it all !
