k Curtain up at Waddington


Faithful secretary at Parish Church


CLITHEROE Parish Church secretary for 18 years, Mrs Lilian Holt, has died, aged 56.


Mrs Holt, of Lower-


gate, Clitheroe, retired from acting as “the eyes and ears” of the parish earlier this month, for health reasons. As parish secretary, she knew about most happenings in the


town. For her work, the


church presented her with an inscribed silver plaque before Easter. A cheque fo r money g iven by church people has been handed to her family.


Mrs Holt was closely


connected with the Scout­ ing movement, retiring in 1977 after 13 years as sec­ retary of St Mary’s and St Paul’s group.


A holder of the “thank


you” badge for services to Scouting, she was also secretary to the NE Lan­ cashire Gang Show held several years ago.


Mrs Holt leaves a hus­


band, Sydney, and sons Fred, Alan and Stephen. The funeral service held


at the Parish Church on Monday, was attended by a large number of people from the church and town. The service was con­


ducted by Canon John Hudson and the lesson was read by the Rev.

£203.26 for the damage and £5 prosecution costs. He told the court he
