MYTHS surrounding England’s greatest sea hero — Lord Horatio Nel­ son — are exploded in an a b s o r b in g book by Clitheroe Division MP David Walder.


The book, “Nelson,”


which is Mr Waider’ s seventh published work, takes a critical look at the real man behind the hero-worshipped national figure.


It reveals fascinating


details of the close rela­ tionship between Lord Nelson and Sir William and Lady Hamilton.


And it tells of the revol­ utionary “ total destruc­ tion” tactics which Nel­ son used to secure his famous victories at the


Nile, Copenhagen and Trafalgar. The book, just pub­


lished in hardback by Hamish Hamilton, sells for £12.50. It took Mr Walder about four years to research and write. He was, in the course of


his work as MI^ able to research in Naples, where Nelson and Lady Hamil­ ton first met, and Egypt. Mr Walder also visited the Nelson museum in Monmouth and called on the only surviving blood descendant of Lord Nel­ son and Lady Hamilton. The book contains


many, interesting illustra­ tions and maps, some drawn by Mr Walder him­ self. He said: “I’ve tried to show up some of the sides of Nelson which


haven’t really been writ­ ten about before.


“ I discovered for inst­


ance that he was con­ stantly sea sick and a complete hypochondriac.


“He was also very fond


of his wife in spite of Lady Hamilton. I found the research very fas­ cinating although it was a l s o v e r y t im e - consuming.”


The biography is the


fullest and most com­ prehensive on Nelson for about 25 years. It shows how from an early age Nelson was determined to be “a hero” and how he used every opportunity to gain promotion. The reality behind the


legend of his personal life is exposed and Nelson


emerges as a man of great courage, but also a vain and difficult character.


It explains how his tacv


tics in naval warefare dif-^ fered from other admirals of the day — and why this brought him immortal success. Mr Waider’s next work


will be a novel based on the business he knows best — politics. But before starting work on that he will be concen­ trating on some real life politics. For he feels that the next General Election will almost certainly take place in October. “ It’s a bit like picking


the winner of the Derby — some people fancy one date and others another,” he said. “But I think it will be October.”

DANCERS at a Wadding- ton farm barbecue had a calypso beat to match the tropical weather. A steel band was one of the attrac­ tions at the event, at Brad- dup House Farm, home of Mr and Mrs Tony Makinson. More than 800 attended


and Waddington and Dis­ trict branch of the Conser­ vative Association hope to have raised more than £ 1 ,000. Among the guests were


Mr John Watson, prospec­ tive Conservative Par­ liamentary candidate for the Skipton division, and his wife. Dancing was to the Gary Buchanan Steel Band and a disco. Picture: Some of the com­


mittee and organisers of the event.


No mowing


COUNCIL tenants in Bol- land Prospect, Clitheroe, are to be told that the coun­ cil will not take over cutting the grass in front of their homes, the Ribble Valley Council’s Housing Commit­ tee has decided. The committee’s chair­


man, Coun. Terence Yates (Billington) said committee members had inspected the area and had been pleased with the way the open plan lawns had been cared for. Some of the residents asked the council to take over the responsibility.


Good driving record lost


A MINOR collision with another car on an icy road at Mellor Brook in March cost a Langho motorist her 20-year clean driving record. . Audrey Smith (41), of Low- erf old, was fined £25 by Clitheroe magistrates for driving without due care and attention. She pleaded guilty.


New vicar will be hospital


chaplain THE Rev. Paul Warren, whose appointment as Vicar of St Leonard’s Church, L a n g h o was b r ie f ly announced in the Advertiser and Times last week, will also be Chaplain of Broc- khall Hospital which has nearly 1,500 patients. This responsiblity, and


the growth taking place in Langho and district, he expects will keep him busy on duties much different to those he has had in the past. Since 1970 he has been


Chaplain of Lancaster Uni­ versity, and since 1975 Prin­ cipal of Grizedale College, which he helped to “get off the ground.” It now has about 400 students. Mr Warren says that after


institution by the Bishop of Blackburn, on September 4th, his first duties at Lan­ gho will be to meet the people, to engage in visiting and to study what work is being done among young people. Establishing good relationships with other churches he considers also important. Mr Warren knows Lanca­


shire well. He was at Rossall School before studying at Selwyn College, Cambridge, and training for the ministry at Cuddesdon College, Oxford. His father had


parishes in Liverpool and Wigan.


Fined £20


ADMITTING using a van with faulty brakes, Norman Jackson (29), of Whalley Road, Langho, was fined £20 at Clitheroe. In a letter he explained that the brak­ ing system had seized.


at its premises in Parson Lane.


Members were disap­


pointed that because of poor support at the coffee morning, only £20 \yas raised. They are hoping for a better result at their next effort — a branded seconds sale, to be held jointly with Castleford on Wednesday.


Profitable


RECENT house-to-house collections held throughout the borough by the Ribble Valley Christian Aid Com­ mittee, together with a cof­ fee morning, raised £650.


The committee thanks the Mayor of Clitheroe, Coun. Robert Ainsworth, for the use of his parlour at the Town Hall for the coffee morning.


Empire-line gowns of blue printed chiffon georgette, with capes and layered skirts, were Mrs Julie Burgess, the bride’s sister, Mrs Lynda Robinson, the bride’s sister-in-law, and Miss Sharron Birch. Mrs Burgess wore a nylon


ruched headband in cream, edged with flowers, and the others had cream and blue flowers. They carried posies of yellow roses and lily-of- the-valley. Pageboy Andrew Leigh B u r g e s s , the b r id e ’ s


.nephew, carried a white Bible. Mr Philip Rech was best


man, Mr Derek Robinson groomsman, and Mr I. Gorst and Mr B. Burgess ushers. The Rev. K. Broadhurst


performed the ceremony and Mr R. Hughes was organist. After a reception at the
