Sculptor and stonemason Miss Fiona Bowley has been invited to speak at the meeting in St Wilfrid's Parochial Church Hall, starting at 8 p.m., when she shows slides of her previous work. Councillors hope there

railed area by the Church Street entrance to the vil lage playing fields, fund
raising will begin. Miss Bowley is well-
qualified for the task, being a fine art graduate. She trained as a stonemason in Carlisle before moving to York Minster, where she trained in carving and was involved in the major restoration work following the south transept fire. The aim of the Ribch
ester project is to pay trib ute to the past life of the parish and look forward to the new Millennium.
