Impressive new look for Whalley church


NOT only churchpeo- ple, but everyone in Whalley, is delighted with the exceptionally effective internal refur­ bishment of the parish


church. "This new life for the


building makes it a more effective tool for the real work of the church - its worship and mission," says the Vicar of Whalley, the Rev. Chris Sterry. "We are now looking for­


ward to a parish mission weekend in September as part of the Diocese of Blackburn's 75 anniversary celebrations, and to the launching of a Saturday early evening service aimed at families." The way the money for


the badly-needed project was raised within 18 months is a source of quiet pride and great satisfac-


tion to church officials. "Working at this common


task has increased our sense of community, not only within the congregation but more widely," says Mr Ster­


ry. "We have a strong, confi­ ..


dent, growing church which looks forward to continuing .to serve the people of Whal­ ley as it has done for 1,400


years already." The interior of the


church has been trans­ formed. Peeling and faded paintwork has been replaced by dazzling white limewash, giving a much


brighter interior. The new lighting scheme


not only allows people to read more easily, but high­ lights many of the numer­ ous historic features of the


church. Mr Sterry is extremely


grateful to the very many people who have helped the project, from raising money


at many small events as well as some large ones to helping move large, heavy and historic items of furni­ ture out of and then back into the building. There has also been a large amount of cleaning work. "We.had so much help,


both financial and practi­ cal. People throughout the community have been so


generous with their time and their money. It says a lot about how our church is loved and valued," says Mr


Sterry. Fund-raising goes on,


partly to pay off a £10,000


debt to the diocese. Mr Sterry is pictured


with just some of those closely connected with the church. (230401/10/5). The main picture gives


some idea of the bright new look which is impressing local people and visitors alike. (230401/1/10/2)

Blackburn Royal Infirmary. Mr Allen's son, Mr Chris


Allen, told the inquest his father had been fit and well


until a couple of years before. He had become con­ cerned that his father was living in the upstairs Ribble Valley Borough Council property and the fact there was no handrail up the


steps.


Some properties on the same estate had separate


handrails. He had consulted social


services a month or so before the accident, but they said there were no major problems. ■


• "I am disappointed they didn't pick up on some of the staircase issues at that time," Mr Allen told the


coroner. His father had been car­


rying sheepskin rugs which had been airing on the line in the garden. He had prob­ ably trodden on the rugs and toppled backwards,


said Mr Allen. Returning a verdict of


accidental death, the coro­ ner said the cause of death was a head injury consis­ tent with a fall down the concrete stairs.
