was-chosen after considerable deliberation. It. was realised th a t many 'people were wait­ ing to know the dates before fixing their holidays, and or­ ganisations)" planning other events were anxious not to clash with the celebrations,

be taken into consideration, and the dates will generally be regarded as satisfactory.


Important local • events have been aranged for that week,

1 Archdeacon ] Lambert traces rthe history of the, Abbey from 'ithe 'coming of the monks to : Whalley to its forfeiture to the 'Crown, and tells how it again became the possession of the


iChubch in 1923. , “ After nearly 400 years!' he


.writes “ the:Abbey has returned !to its former work. The monastic buildings - are in ruins,! but the


ideali ■which the monks :served 'are the Inspiration and-aim of all the work-'of the Conference House.” '

! This aspect of the Church’s work! at the; Abbey is also stressed by the Bishop in the


foreword. “ We hope visitors will feel it Is not an empty ruin, but is trying, in -modem circum­ stances, to fulfil: • the same purposes -that were in the mii)ds of Its'builders” he writes. Archdeacon Lambert also des­
