JACOBITES HISTORY OF THE CHURCH


AN OLD SAYING about not being able to please all of the people all of the time certainly did not apply to Sir Richard Sherburne—a man whose family plays such a prominent role in the history of the 700-year-old Milton


Church. Sir Richard of Stony-


liurst—a diplomatic noble —lived through the reigns of four monarclis .with


widely different religious views and beliefs, and still managed to please them all.


At the time of the Refor­


mation. he was one of Henry VlII's Commissioners for the dissolution of the monasteries, but, during the reign of “Bloody Mary", he was a zealous Roman Cath­


olic. Puritan That did not last long,


for. when Elizabeth came to the throne in 1558. Sir Richard was an early Puri­ tan, and, in his capacity as a Lancashire magistrate, he issued an order for more religious observance on Sundays and for the sup­ pression of Wakes, bull­ baiting. minstrels and other disorderly customs.


One of the leading fea­


tures . of M l - Hallows Church. Mitton. W'hich cele­ brates its 700th mini versa ty next -month, is the Sher­ burne- Chapel, which was built by Sir Richard...


In addition' to other


memorials,- it contains four tombs with


recumbent


figures of knights and their ladies—the oldest being Sir Richard, who died in 1594.


On his tomb, be is des­ cribed as Master Forester


fered for his support of


of the Forest of Bowland, King Charles I. and a fourth Steward of the Manor of Richard was a faithful fol- Slaidburn. Lieutenant of the lower of King James II. Isle of Man and one of Her All the descendants, both Majesty's Deputy-Lieuten- nien and women, were Jaco- ants of the County of Lan- bites.


caster. Next to him is the tomb


of his son, Richard, and his


wife, who died giving birth to twins. They arc represented kneeling opposite to each


other at an altar. The next Richard suf-


Lcgend tells of a lepers'


hospital at Edisford, on the banks of the River Ribble, and one of the windows in Mitton Church is popularly known as the Lepers’ Win­


dow. There are two explana­


tions about this window.


one being that people were so afraid of infection that lepers were not allowed to attend services. It has also been sug­


gested that the purpose of this low side-window was to enable the priest to see when a funeral party was assem­ bled at the churchyard cross. The true purpose of the


window is not known, but one thing is certain: it has nothing to do with lepers.


Victorian Glancing around Mitton


Church is like looking at 700 years in the making, the features dating from very early times to the Victorian era. The earliest portion is the


nave, built about 1270. The Chancel was added 25 years later. The font, however, is no
