ONE of the largest and most significant Kibble Valley funerals of post-war ye&rs takes place on Monday at bt


Peter's, Stonyhurst College. Not just one, but several, eras


pass with the death at the age of 90 of Fr Frederick Turner, whose con­ nection with the college went back the best part of eight decades. His work as priest, preacher,


archivist, librarian and par excel­ lence conductor of college tours gave Fr Turner Ribble Valley and indeed regional as well as purely Stonyhurst standing in historical, cultural and religious matters. His honoured place in national Roman Catholic circles as well was reflect­ ed in the signal honour of a near­ half page obituary.in the Daily

The son of a Lytham solicitor


and a descendant of the first Bish­ op of Salford, Fr Turner was a clas­


society. ' i «.• _i. He was a teacher for a time .


before ordination in 1943. Fr Turner went to Stonyhurst


College 52 years ago as a classics teacher, and was later prefect of studies and then headmaster from


1961-3. ian. After a period elsewhere he , Right up to his death, Fr Turner „ -


would punctiliously reply to inquiries from all over the world on a myriad aspects of Stonyhurst's history, traditions, old boys, archi­


tecture, and outlook. He knew everything there was to


know about the college, or at worst, where to find out, and correspond­ ed from his library eyrie up a pic­ turesque flight of circular steps by means of a battered old typewriter. No inquirer was so important as to dazzle him, none so humble as to merit anything other than his full attention, whether the query was for a major book, a specialist arti­ cle or to settle an argument.

Fr Turner's ability to use an TSifnaf’c ohiiitv t.n use an ■those of


intellectual approach to everyday life was reflected in his sermons, and in former times he would also speak a t the funerals of Hurst


Green parishioners. . .He delivered an especially well-


remembered sermon at the college's 400th anniversary celebrations. Age did not trim Fr Turner's


truly catholic, in its widest sense, observation of those things dear to him. He had read the Advertiser and Times for many years, and


quite recently a letter we printed earned an agreeable note from h im to the writer,;.,


strate the historical and religious importance, of the numerous books and manuscripts in the college's various collections, of which he was the keeper. He did so with courtesy and thoroughness to inquirers of any rank or none. His knowledge clearly impressed the Queen, who is known to have asked about this "wonderful man" quite recently, although it is a full decade since she met him when visiting the college. All his life, Fr Turner's idiosyn-

er's faith and Jesuit outlook were the fulcrums of his life,,arid he would celebrate the Tridentine Mass daily at 6 a. m.

| Village gossip goes on the Internet


A RIBBLE VALLEY village is casting its net over the worldwide web. ■ From Monday, Internet


users will be able to access a site giving the lowdown


on life in Chatbum. The village's official web­ .


site - which can be found at www.echatbum.co.uk—will


officially launch ' a t Clitheroe's Dot.Com.


Cybercafe on Monday morning, thanks to the efforts of Chatbum resi­ dent Mr John Ridgway and parish councillorsRod- ney Read and Paul Whit- fccikor.


Mr Ridgway explained • j


th a t the idea had been a joint effort and one which had been spurred on by the efforts of Grindleton, which


has already gone on-line. As we ll as in forma t io n on


the parish council, the site will also have details about Chatburn Parish Church, the methodist chapel and local businesses. A hobbies page and what's on diary will also be available.


Bench ends taken I

I and are dark green with black and gold trimming. A | piece of fencing was removed to gain access on Tuesday night last week, and police are investigating.
