Facing fact that nothing is sacred these days
by Theresa Robson
A R IB C H E S T E R church is a t th e c en tr e o f a drive to thw a r t th ie v e s and vandals who a re co s t in g re l ig io u s o rg a n is a t io n s m o re th an £5m. a y e a r .
From a few pounds in the offertory box to organ
pipes and stained glass windows, nothing it seems is sacred.
and the Ecclesiastical Insurance Group have launched a booklet, called “A secure and safer place of wor ship,” which gives security advice to churches.
Now, the Lancashire Partnership Against Crime St Wilfrid’s Church, in Rochester, has been fea
tured in the publicity campaign to lwijA ™ book let, as a church which has been the constant target ol vandals and thieves and where, once, even the high
altar was stolen! Now, the church has closed-circuit television and
other security equipment, allowing it to stay open during the day and making life harder for the would-
be criminal. The rector of St Wilfrid’s, the RevAndrewHiml-
ley, commented: “Rochester is in the “ f " 'a very popular tourist area, so it is important that St
Wilfrid’s is open during the day. "We have been very happy to cooperate in this
scheme because we want visitors to see the beauty of St Wilfrid’s, while at the same time protecting
the property against attack. Chief Insp. Frank Harding, of Lancashire Constab-
uWrv’s Crime Prevention Department, added. Last vea7 damage and theft to churches in Lancashire ran to hundreds of thousands of pounds. Obv'ously^h.s.s
totally unacceptable and ‘A secure and safer place to worship’ explains some of the measures that can
be taken to help improve the situation. The booklet was launched at a special ceremony at PINDER — THWAITE
Wedding guests travelled from as far afield as Peru, Borneo and Australia to witness the marriage of Mr Nicholas James Pinder and Miss S a ra Ja n e Thwaite at St Aidan’s Church, Hellifield. The b rideg room, a
farmer, is the oldest son of Mr and Mrs J . Pinder, of B r o w n h i 1 1 s , Newton-in-Bowland. The bride, a teacher, is
ihe only daughter of Mr and Mrs R. Thwaite, of Hall Field, Coniston Cold,
Skipton. Given away by her
father, the bride wore a pale pink 17th century style gown, with pearl embroidery on the bodice, and a full-length antique lace veil, which was held in place by a headdress of pale and dark pink roses, cream roses and pearls. She carried a bouquet of
orchids, pink, purple and cream roses, stephanotis
and cream freesia. In attendance were Miss
Amy Dawson and Miss R eb e cca F a ir e y , the bride’s cousins, who wore c ream s i lk d r e s s e s , decorated with antique lace and old rose sashes, and cream broderie ang-
laise pantaloons. They wore headdresses
of cream and pink roses and carried shepherd’s crooks, decorated with
flowers. Also in attendance were
pageboys Master Adam Lightbrown, the bride groom’s nephew, and Mas ter Dominic Stockdale. Best man was Mr Neil Breaks and the grooms
man was Mr P h i ll ip Pinder, the bridegrooms brother.
The ushers were Mr
Bryan Pinder, the bride groom's b ro th e r , Mr Nicholas Thwaite, the bride’s brother, and Mr Kaiwan Khadem, the
bride's cousin. The ceremony, per
formed by Bowland Dean the Rev. Graham Walker and accompanied by Mrs Ellen Toome, was followed by a marquee reception at
the bride’s home. The wedding cake was
Mrs Connie Sutcliffe.
