Golden pair's expert advice on marriage


“IF you’re thinking of marriage, then make sure you really know your partner.” That’s the message from Clitheroe couple. Ernest and Florence Artingstoll, who are celebrating their golden wedding on Sunday.


For Ernest and Flor-


en c e , o f K en ilw o r th Drive, certainly made sure they knew each other well before marry­ ing . . . by courting for six years! Originally from the


Blackburn area, they met in the back of an old tea van, used to take them and a few of their friends to a country dance. “There were so many of


us in the back of the van th a t we didn’t know whose legs were whose,” laughed Florence. Florence was employed


as a weaver in a mill until their marriage and Ernest has done a number of


jobs, ranging from joinery, to working as transport manager for a textile en­ gineering firm, a post he held for 28 years. Du ring th e second


world war he was at­ tached to the Royal Corps of Signals. Even in retirement, the


couple are never short of things to do. “We are busier now


round & about


than ever, looking after grandchildren


even a couple of great­ grandchildren,” said Flor­ ence, who enjoys cooking, reading, knitting and gar­ dening. Ernest also likes looking


and


after their garden and going out for rides in the car.


' . On the golden day


itself, the couple will be busy as usual making sure their family and friends enjoy a celebration meal.

‘Fishy’ plot


ERNEST and Florence Artingstoll. Margaret and . David


emigrated to Canada ■ in 1970. She is a language arts consultant and he is an educational psycholog­ ist. They have two daugh­ ters, aged seven and two. Margaret already holds


a B.Ed. and a BA in English. David, the son of Mr


and Mrs Allan Wrigley, of The Highlands, Beverley Close, Clitheroe, is a former pupil of CRGS.. The couple are no


strangers to Clitheroe, as they make annual trips to the town on their summer vacations.


Robert Young, of Bilsber- ry C o t ta g e s , H u r s t Green, has retired after 38 years with the civil service. He first, went to work


at Primrose Mill in 1946 after leaving the army. To mark his retirement,


he was presented with a clock radio by Clitheroe DHSS manager Mrs Anne Wetton. Mr Young intends to


make use of his time in retirement pursuing his favourite hobbies of walk­ ing, gardening and golf.


IF the audience at Whal- ley Church Players’ forth­ coming production of “Spring and Port Wine” thinks there '.is . something “fishy” about the play, they are right. For a herring plays a


large .part in the plot of the Bill Naughton classic comedy set in the 1950s which runs at Whalley Adult Centre from Febru­ ary 29th to March 3rd. The play, with the gen­


eration gap as its theme, gives younger members of the society a chance to shine in the roles of the four children who rebel against their father.


. Making their debut in


the Players’ adult produc­ tions are Emma Taylor and Susan Evans and staging a comeback as producer after a three- year break is Liz Caton. Tickets are available

Sitting pretty


IN 1235 Peter de Ces- tria was a very happy young man: he had just dropped in for a jolly good job for which, strictly speak­ ing, he was technically unqualified. He became Rector of


Whalley — : the only one we have ever had — and succeeded a long line of Deans, an hereditary office. Despite his lack of qual­


ifications (for there is no evidence that he was ever ordained) Peter had one formidable asset; chance had given him some very important and influential relations. He is believed to have


been the illegitimate son of the Constable of Ches­ ter who (I quote the late Rev. Taylor-Taswell) was Henry de Lasci, Earl of

the rector of a parish is entitled to all the tithes of that parish — a tenth part of all the produce thereof — arid as the parish of Whalley at the time covered a ninth part of the whole of the former county of Lancaster, the man to whom the incum­ bency was granted was, to use a colloquialism “sit­ ting p r e t ty .” A vicar merely received a stipend.

1 by any standards! All the foregoing was


brought to mind by a cut­ ting passed to me recently by a kindly reader. This was an excerpt from a magazine article describ­ ing a memorial stone high on Holcombe Moor, away on the hills above Bury. An inscription on the


stone reads “On this site stood the ancient Pil­ grims’ Cross. It was ex­ isting in A.D. 1176 and probably much earlier. P ilg r im s to W halley Abbey prayed and rested here.” The cross which the


monument commemorates is believed, to have been removed in the days of th e C om m onw ea lth ; Oliver Cromwell didn’t


like crosses. Now, it occurs to me


that pilgrims to Whalley in 1176 certainly wouldn’t be visiting the abbey which didn’t exist until around 150 years later, but they would be visiting our parish church — the Mother Church of that vast parish. , And they would, in the


ensuing years, be bring­ ing their tithes; a tenth of their wool, their barley, their com, for the enrich­ ment’of our friend Peter and, subsequent to his death in' 1296, of the Abbot and monks of Whalley, for on Peter’s demise, the Cistercians inherited all the rector's rights and privileges and his duties. \ ; It is understandable, therefore, that when the


, first advance party of monks arrived in the vil­ lage in 1288, Peter did not make them particularly welcome. He was in no hurry to join his fathers and he didn’t -want' any monks monkeying, around in his sphere of influence. Would you? - ■; J .F ,
