good bunch,” he said. A former pupil of Ribbles- dale School, Neil was de­ lighted to receive the ac­ colade.- “ It’s nice reward after


three years of hard work. It’s a pity. I can only keep it for a year,” he said. -


Inspiration


for series AN idea thought up by an 87-year-old Clitheroe woman is the inspiration behind a new BBC tele­ vision children’s prog­ ramme beginning in November. Miss Helen Garnett,


who lives- at Caraway Cottage, Low Moor, has loved L. T. Meade’s story of “A Little Silver Trumpet” since her own childhood. The book is now out of


print and almost un­ known, but after being impressed by a recent children’s serial, “The Moon Stallion,” Miss Garnett wrote to the BBC suggesting that her favourite story might be a g o od s ou r c e fo r another serial. A BBC chi ld ren ’ s


programme executive took up Miss Garnett’s

Play group overcomes setbacks


CALDERSTONES'Revue and .-Dramatic Society;- is all- set-.for, its- latest- pro­ duction, “Pillar to Post,” after overcoming a series of setbacks, including the illness of two of the cast. • • The play, a comedy by


John Waterhouse; tells the story of a Post Office robbery with a difference.


- I t : runs from. Wednesday to Saturday, October 8th to 11th, in the newly-de­ corated hospital theatre. Producer John Smith


had a difficult time cast­ ing the characters, with M a rg a re t D i lw o r th , Rosalie Armitage and Ann Haworth • all having to drop out, but rehear-


idea and a five-part serialisation of “A: Little Silver Trumpet” begins on November 19th. It tells the adventures


of a poor West Country girl and her mother in London when they lose a £50 note with which they have been en­ trusted. Miss Garnett, whose


hobby is writing and il­ lustrating children’s stories, has received a letter of thanks from the BBC for her suggestion. Miss Garnett’s family


fo rm e r ly l iv e d at Wad d ow Hal l, and owned and ran Low Moor Mill for many years, also building much of the village to a c com m od a te then- workers.

Tile target tots up


CHATBURN Method­ ist Church’s “Buy-a- Tile” appeal is ap­ proaching ElfOO.


The appeal, tvhich


opened in June, is part of a scheme to raise money for the recon­ struction and renova­ tion of the chapel.


Two hundred tiles


are needed in the main schoolroom where the ceiling is being low­ ered. People are being invited to subscribe to the cost of a tile plus labour costs. At £8 a tile, the


church is hoping to raise £600. ■


A remarkable man


I DON’T think I have ever written in detail about Peter de Ces- tria, which omission is very remiss of me, so let me remedy the si tuat ion wi thout delay. Peter was a pretty re- -


markable fellow- and became the one and only rector our parish ever had. He is believed to have been the illegitimate son of the Constable of Chester, John d e . Lascy, kinsman to Henry de Lascy, Earl of. Lincoln,


■who controlled the whole of our vast rural area. When Peter grew to


man’s estate, it is possible that his father was strick­ en by remorse and consci­ ence and felt constrained to “do something” for the b a s ta rd boy he had brought into the world and so, one presumes, with the connivance and influence of Henry de Lascy, the- young man was created Rector of Whalley. That was in 1235 and


marked the beginning of a lon g and in f lu en t ia l career. Remembering that the


rector of a parish was en­ titled to all the tithes and that Whalley was the largest parish in Lanca­ shire at the time, cover­ ing a ninth part of the county, this was a pretty good job to have. Clearly, having seen the boy so handsomely settled, the Constable’s conscience was now v e ry much easier.


Whalley Window


Whalley on its own,


however, was not good enough for the young rector and within a short time he obtained the churches o f Buldeby, Esynton and Slaidburn, was Provost of Beverley, had the church of Arkesey in addition to the preben­ dary of Bugthorpe in the Minster of York.


And all this, mark you,


despite the fact that there is no-record that Peter was ever ordained.,


Still not satisfied, we


read in Canon Lambert’s Guide to Whalley Abbey, that the ambitious cleric was prominent in organis­ ing the Civil Service and judiciary of Edward 1st and eventually held office equivalent to that of the Chancellor of the Exche­ quer today.


Not bad, you might


think, for an illegitimate boy who, in a less permis­ sive world, had shown very considerable wisdom in his selection of rela­ tions.


Peter must be consi­


dered pre-eminent in the list of almost 50 incum­ bents of our parish, not ev en e x c e p t in g the famous Dr Whitaker. - Whatever his ecclesias­


tic attainments, the rector also did pretty well in’ a commercial sense, for he negotiated the sale of the tithes of his vast parish to the monks of Sawley, whose monastery was founded some .100 years


; or more before the Cister­ cians came to Whalley. Monks didn’t arrive


here until 1288, while Peter was still very much in charge: He didn’t make them very welcome, al­ though under obligation'to receive them, and his astute business practices led to considerable dis­ comfiture for them in the years that were to follow. All that, however, is another story and must wait for another occasion. Altogether, our solitary


rector presided here for 60 years and was finally laid to rest in 1295. You will find his gravestone immediately on your left as you enter our church in Whalley by the south


' porch. . Treat it with great re­


spect. It marks the last resting place of a very remarkable man. F o l low in g P e t e r ’ s


demise, the first o f our long line of vicars was appointed — before Peter


' we had Deans — and the Cistercians now estab­ lished here kept the tithes of the parish for them­ selves. They too, had business acumen developed to a


: very considerable degree* and I will tell you of some of. their dealings on future occasion.
