THE Eucharist was cele­ brated at Sawley Abbey for the first time in 457 years on Saturday when members of Grindleton’s St Ambrose Church, and St Pe te r and Paul’ s, Bolton-by-Bowland, joined together for a pilgrimage. The idea was the brain­


child of the Rector of the two benefices, Fr Trevor Vaughan. He saw the pil­ grimage as a good way of bringing the parishes closer together. The parishioners made


their way to Sawley fol­ lowing pilgrim’s services at Grindleton, led by Fr


Vaughan and at Bolton- b y -B ow la n d , b y lay r e a d e r Mr R ich a rd Fallows. 1 Parochial Church Coun­


cil member Mr John Bir- chenough led the “ pil­ grims” from Grindleton, carrying a processional cross which he donated in memory of his wife, Mar­ garet. F r V a u g h a n , who


preached and gave a sermon about broken walls and Christ as the wallbreaker, was assisted in Communion by the Rev. Albert Knowles and Fr Bernard Bate, both re­ tired clergymen living in Grindleton, and by Mr Fallows. Something that would


have pleased the Cister­ cian monks was the sing­ ing of a “plainsong” — a


medieval chant of Psalm 99 — by the St Ambrose Church Choir. Slaidbum Silver Band accompanied the choir during the sing­ ing of hymns. Said Fr Vaughan: “ It


was an absolutely mar­ vellous experience. There was a strange feeling about the whole thing, be­ cause of staging it at the Abbey, which I think af­ fected everybody. We hope to hold the pilgrim­ age every year from now on.

Queen of the May at Slaidburn


ELE VEN-YEAR-OLD Kathryn Pinder — who is equally at home captain­ ing her school’s football team — was crowned May, Queen at the Slaidburn Newton, Dunsop Bridge and Lane Ends festival on Monday.


The festival started


with a service at St An­ drew’s, conducted:by the Rector, the Rev.. George Gaze. He introduced; the Rev. G. Walker, Vicar, of H e l l i f ie ld , • as gu e s t speaker. Organist was Mr John Cowking.


There was a sense of


loss among some of the older children that the procession was not; going, to Whiteholme, the home' of Mrs M. A. L. Williams,


" who died recently. As the procession left


the church it was an­ nounced that the presen­ tation of traditional coin by squires of Slaidburn over several generations — and something carried on by Mrs Williams — was to continue.


The present “ squire”


Mr John N. King Wilkin­ son had volunteered to present the five pence pieces and children went to' the school yard to re­ ceive them.


Another gift, of New


Testaments, started by the late Mrs Williams to mark the children’s chang­ ing from primary to senior schools is being carried on by Mr W. Richard King Wilkinson. These were presented after the crowning of the queen.


From the church, the


Slaidburn Silver Band, with conductor Mr John


. Cowking, led the proces­ sion round the village. Marshal was Mr E. Raw, chairman of the Festival Committee. The queen- elect laid flowers at the cenotaph. .


On the field, new queen


Kathryn, of Hill House Fa rm , N ew ton , was


crowned by Mrs Grace Howard, also of Newton.


: Mrs Howard presented


gifts to the queen and her retinue.


Attending the queen


were crown bearer David Bamford, sword bearer R ober t Barber, train bearers Gareth Beattie and Francis Howard, shield bearers Stephen Cottam. and, Edward J ohnson-Tumer.


Attendants were Tracy


Jackson, Elaine Barber, G a y le D ix on , Paula Dixon, Susanna Stafford, Susanna Johnson-Turner and Eleanor Robinson.


Retiring queen Jane


Parker led the procession with her retinue.


Entertainment was pro­


vided by Slaidbum School pupils, trained by former te a ch e r Miss M. J. Watson. They gave a dis­ play of Maypole dancing and the Longridge Roset­ tes demonstrated Morris dancing.


There was just one


.entry in the fancy dress contest — Ben -Blakeman (5) and his twin brothers David and Thomas (3) were the three mus­ keteers. Judges were Mrs G. Kay, of Newton Hall, and her sister..
