I A CENTURY of tor- I chlight processions in Clitheroe is the subject of a fascinating book written by senior librar­ ian Sue Holden to mark


I the Millennium. "Clitheroe Ablaze with


I Glory" has been written as the town prepares to stage its 21st procession to mark the approach of the new Millennium. The attractive 60-page


book is extensively illustrat­ ed to throw light on the var­ ious traditions and histori­ cal background of the pro-


1 cessions. I t has been carefully


I crafted by a writer with an obvious love of local life and a wonderful ability to capture the imagination of anyone who enjoys a ride


I down memory lane. She tells us th a t the


I continuance of the torch­ light procession tradition over such a lengthy period must make Clitheroe


Even an inexperienced D-l-Y-er c.
