VOTING HAS OPENED TODAY in the NatWest bank’s CommunityForce charity initiative – and local projects are asking for your support!
CommunityForce is organised by the NatWest to support local communities. It gives charities, projects and groups an opportunity to promote their work, the chance to access funds and skills as well as volunteers to make a lasting difference in their local communities.
By applying to CommunityForce hundreds of local charities and projects (three from each area) stand to win an award of £6,000 each with the winners decided by public vote and announced in November.
The following good causes are applying for support from this area:
Paull Village Hall is applying for new projection and sound equipment which can be used in the existing hall, and in the new purpose-built centre if their Big Lottery Fund application is successful. Vote at http://communityforce.natwest.com/project/883.
Preston Community Hall would spend the money on improving its toilet and kitchen facilities – without these improvements the Community Hall may face closure! Vote at http://communityforce.natwest.com/project/5389.

The Girl Guiding Holderness Division would like to run a division day out, pack holiday and camp, with all its members able to take part, whatever their experience. This can be very costly to the girls and their families, and the Division would like to offer them assistance. Vote at http://communityforce.natwest.com/project/3240.

ENGLISH HERITAGE is the Government’s statutory adviser on the historic environment. They have been sending positive replies to those writing in with concerns about the deterioration of local monument Paull Holme Tower (see Appeal). Below is the reply received by the Hedon Blog:
English Heritage is working with the owner of Paull Holme Tower to explore sustainable uses to secure the future of the monument.
We have been in very positive discussions with the owner and have offered a grant of £27,000 towards the production of a costed condition survey, feasibility study and options appraisal for the site as well as providing some temporary repairs to the building to secure it in the short term.
We have worked with the owner to ensure his grant application meets our funding requirements and conditions one of which requires that the grantee should use a suitably qualified professional adviser – either a conservation accredited architect or Chartered Surveyor and they should have been appointed following a competitive tendering process. English Heritage would not be able to provide grant aid under European rules on any other such basis. It was also felt that all options should be looked at for a future use of the building in order to give the owner a fully informed and considered approach which might be more beneficial to both the owner and monument itself. It is on this basis which we have offered our current grant.
We have discussed with the owner over a number of years the management of vegetation on the monument. Addressing how to undertake this aspect of managing the monument will form part of the current grant application.

A CRAFT FAIR takes place at Paull Village Hall on Sunday 25th September 2011, from 10am – 4pm.
Twenty five tables will be displaying and selling a wide variety of crafts. The Community Cafe will be open serving tea/coffee biscuits and cakes.
Admission is 50p.
Don’t forget to check out the Hedon Blog’s What’s On pages.
PAULL HOLME TOWER is a 15th Century three storey brick tower between Paull and Thorngumbald and was once part of a grand manor house and moated-complex and is a Grade I listed monument. The Tower is believed to be located at the centre of the original settlement of Paull – and buildings may have been on this site dating back to before the Domesday Book!
The Tower was open to the public for the first time as part of the Heritage Open Days weekend on 10th and 11th September 2011. This was made possible due to English Heritage agreeing to cover the public liability costs of opening the monument.
Simon Taylor, the owner of the tower, was on hand to meet and talk to dozens of enthusiastic visitors to the site.
Paull Holme Tower is now described as being in “very bad” condition by English Heritage. Its priority status has been classed as A(A) which signifies that it is at:
“Immediate risk of further rapid deterioration or loss of fabric; no solution agreed.”
Remains of once decorative work at the top of the tower
And the deterioration showed! Crumbling brickwork and erosion by weather and plants was clear for all to see! But this ‘loss of fabric’ represents history and heritage disappearing in front of our very eyes!
Simon Taylor says that he bought the Tower nearly 25 years ago in order to “save it” and that job continues. He hopes that renewed interest in the site through the Open Days will encourage people to get involved in helping to form a trust or not-for-profit body that can look at preserving the ancient building.
If anyone can help with this task then they can contact simon@stonecreekhouse.co.uk – and if you visit the site, then leave your opinions on the Heritage Open Days website.
Seaside FM roving reporter Paula Coomberg interviewed Simon Taylor during her visit to the site – the video also reveals the current state of this fascinating building.
ST ANDREW CHURCH in Paull will be open as part of the Heritage Open Days on Saturday and Sunday 10th and 11th of September.
The Paull Village Hall Website reports that the church will be open between 1.00pm and 5.00pm on both days.
This should be a delight for history buffs, and those tracing family history in the area: All the ancient Parish records will be returned to the Church dating back to 1657. Also, on computer files, will be the school registers and log books back to when the school opened in 1868. People will be on hand to help with any family searches and monumental inscriptions that you may be looking for.
On Saturday 10th september at 2.30pm David Smith (local historian) will be giving a talk on the photographs and history contained in his new book Paull: An Illustrated History
The Riverside pop In Cafe’ will be open during the heritage weekend s for teas, coffee and light snacks.
Paull fields - Possible development site for Enterprise Zone?
THE HUMBER LEP (Local Enterprise Partnership) has published maps of the Humber Enterprise Zone. These latest charts list the 80 hectare site near Paull as a “Reserve Site” (No 4 on the map).
The LEP told us via its temporary website what this means:
“The reserve site was included in case it wasn’t possible to have one of the other sites ready in time (to benefit from the Enterprise Zone tax breaks, companies must begin occupying by April 2015). At the moment, unless there are problems with one of the other sites, it won’t be included in the Enterprise Zone. However, it is still there for development.”
Whilst this news means that it is less likely that the Humber Enterprise Zone will be developed as close to Paull as previously thought, it does not diminish the case for the village (plus Hedon, Preston and the whole South West Holderness area) being fully prepared to take advantage of any benefits that the Enterprise Zone may bring.
A suggestion has been made on Twitter (by James Baron) that a working group is established to ensure that the area is in the best possible position to grasp any opportunities available through the Enterprise Zone – to make sure that local communities and businesses can benefit.
This would seem to be a very sensible and pro-active proposal. What do Blog readers think?
