FOR one Clilhcroe pensioner the opening of Clithcroo’s magnificent new library complex on Monday held special significance. M r Joseph Newton Bell, of Baldwin Road, has no fewer than 28 works of a rt on display — each with a fascinating link to historic families of the area. They are, in fact, coats of arms — lovingly painted


decades ago by M r Bell when he was surveyor to the old Clitheroe Town Council. For years they hung in the council chamber until renovations started. Now that they are displayed in the new library,


I had the pleasure of introducing M r Bell to District Librarian Miss Barbara Snell who had no idea that the artist of long ago still lived in the town. M r Bell held his engineering and surveying post in


tile town from 11)18 until retirement in 11)71 But how did a man engrossed in reservoirs and road repairs develop such an enthusiasm for tracing the pedigrees of our ancestry'.' “I was always interested in family histories,” he told


me. "When I came to Clitheroe I realised there was a wealth of information about local families — particularly in the coats of arms I saw everywhere — so I started researching.” As he talks, the street names of Clitheroe come


to life. His 14 coats of arms depicting families granted the Honour of Clitheroe, and 14 of other historic local families, bear names such as Shireburn, Buccleuch, Monk, Albemarle and even the ill-filled branch of the Do Lacy family, who were granted the Honour of Clitheroe, and whose line disappeared with the tragic


deaths, in the 14011s, of the last two sons. One fell to his death from the battlements of the family’s Pontefract Castle.


In his earlier days, M r Beil travelled all over the N e w c h a l l e n g e

houses, but i f you look in the graveyard, you see the graves of many Bells,’.’ he said. M r Bell can also trace his grandmother Whitaker


to 1200 and his mother, surnnmed Newton, to 1435. But half the fun of tracing a family pedigree was


lost i f it was not illustrated by their coat of arms, he declared. “The simplest coats of arms are usually the oldest,"


he told me. “They get complicated when a father has only a female heir and her arms can then be quartern! by those of her husband’s family.” I realised I was not going to escape without some


reference to the Moon family — infamous or otherwise! “In 1890 there were nine Moons per 10,000 in


Lancashire and 10 per 10,000 in Yorkshire,” he said. My nearest coat of arms to my husband's farming pro­ fession was that of the Moons of Biddestone, which depicted three ears of wheat. And what about skeletons in the cupboards? “ 1 can find no information about that," said Mi-


Bell with a smile. "They must have behaved themselves."

IT was the first time the man and his wife had been in an aeroplane. They were both scared and faced the new experience with considerable apprehension. I t did not seem natural. Holding hands, they gritted their teetli as tile air hostess demonstrated the use of the oxygen mask, i f it should be necessary to use one. Instructions about the life jacket under'the seal, in case they came down in the sea, did not help matters, nor the information regarding emergency exits. The engines were now running to taxi the plane to


its departure rimwa.v. How they wished they could see out of the plane windows, frosted over th a t February morning. A f te r minutes, they began to wonder why the plane had not yet become airborne, thinking they could still feel the wheels of the plane running over the concrete.


Suddenly, they heard the pilot’s calm voice telling


K E E P T H I S P A G E F O R


them to keep their seat belts fastened owing to slight turbulence. They were high in the skv and had not been aware of the moment of take-off.' The windows swiftly defrosted in the sunshine above the clouds, which they now saw below them. “Whatever had they been afraid of,” they asked


each other. The pilot had it all in hand as a routine job of work. Soon after this they were looking down on Brittany covered in snow. They knew this because


the pilot said it was. They were ready to trust him now. Life is like that; some folks are always fearful and


apprehensive. Experienced Christians find that they can let go and let God look after them. We all need to trust in our “captain,” who has the final say ill our destiny; so i f you arc apt to be fearful o f future


changes, ju s t rela x, le t go and le t God see vou through.
