They formed a small community with a church>and me,j it Kirk-By — or "Church Town’/ — in Luncsdalc. Tlicrc is. however, evidence of a church a t Kirkby


Lonsdale in Saxon days. In the reign of William Rufus (1087 to 1100) the Parish


of Kirkby Lonsdale among others was granted by the frown to Ivo Tailboia, one of the Conqueror’s War


la.


^ The Abbey of St Mary’s a t York had been founded between 1012 and 10<i6 and it was considered the duty of jhc wealthy to increase its endowments by gifts. I t is presumed that the church granted to St Mary’s Abbey wa^the old Saxon one of which there is now no trace. The present edifice was probably built between 1093


and ll30. A building of even g re a te r magnificence was contemplated hut, for reasons unknown, there was a change of plan and the church was completed in a much pjiincr style. Over the years the church has been restored and many additions made. . Outstanding architectural features arc the Norman


archway beneath the tower and, near the west door, the •ix massive Norman columns, no two of which are alike. The tower has undergone more than one reconstruction


and heightening, the last time being in 1705. There arc six which were recast in 1826.


A HOLIDAY in the sun could well become more than ju s t a dream for some of Clitheroe's deprived children if Mr Fred Cowperthwaite realises one of his big ambitions.

York S treet, Clithcroe, has launched a £1,000 appeal for a minibus to take such children away on holiday for a week or two.


' “ I fe e l th a t someth in g


should be done to help chil­ d re n whose p a re n ts c an ’t re a l ly afford to take them away on holiday," he said. “ T h e re m u s t be a lot of youngsters in the area who have never been outside the Ribble Valley and I will do all I can to make their lives a little happier."


The appeal, entitled, "Pro­


je c t J Mobile” which was star ted only five weeks ago, has already raised more than £170 and Fred feels th a t his ta rg e t of £1,000 by Eas ter should be realised.


Once he has bought the


minibus, Fred, with a group of friends from St James’s Church Young People’s Fel­ lowship, will s ta r t work on converting the vehicle.

money this raises will help with running costs. To ' ra is e money fo r the


appeal, Fred has organised a series of coffee evenings and has,bought 200 ballpoint pens with the project’s name on them.

Haulage firm wins planning


appeal


A WHALLEY haulage firm lias won its appeal against the refusal of the Ribble Valley Council to allow Pcndle Gar­ age, Clitheroe Road, to be used as a repair depot for the firm’s vehicles.


However, in granting per­


mission to Bulcock Brothers, Mr 12. J. Dunslan. who con­ d u cted a local inq u iry on behalf of the Department of the Environment in May, has imposed a two-year time limit and other conditions.


He has limited the permis­


sion, to the firm only, and the premises are not to be used


for any purpose other than as a repair depot.


He also s t ip u la ted th a t


repair or maintenance work m u s t not be done on the forecourt or more than 50 feet


’ from the back of the present g a ra g e building. No work must be done on Sundays nor between 6 p.m. and 8 a.m. on weekdays^


THE first official fund-raising event for “ Project J Mobile” was a coffee evening a t the home of Mr and Airs Malcolm Brewer, of Green Drive, Clitheroe. About 80 people attended and helped to raise L7U. A

inspector noted that the pre­ mises, formerly Lamb Roe Garage, had been in use since 1930 and he therefore consi­ dered Bulcock’s application as being for permission to con­ tinue using them.


He saiil the use of Pendle


G arag e was clearly out of character in an area of great landscape and scientific or his­ toric value. However,, taking account of the large adjoining industrial premises and the fact that the appellants intend o p e r a t in g o n ly a limited number of vehicles, he is of opinion that the impact on the character of the area is so minimal as to be of no material consequence. The inspector says th a t on


the information given to him he is not satisfied that the


amenities of local residents h av e been a f fe c ted s u f f i­ ciently for him to refuse the appeal. He has therefore allowed it


on a temporary basis and in order to give the local author­ ity the opportunity of review­ ing the situation a t a later date.
