Clitheroe. They had hung over,.him for exactly two


years. Judge Anthony Proctor


toldithe defendant that he was free to leave the court, without any stain on his character. "IPad this case been

caused his client and fami­ ly incredible pain, declared


Mr Jackson. The judge made an order

— -------I Church, gains £ 7,600 Quad bike woman’s lucky escape^j windfaU from sale


of model collection m m


A LABOUR of love by a retired Gisburn joiner who died earlier this year has provided a £7,600 windfall for his


local church. When Mr Ray Mason


died oh January 9th, he left behind a large collec­ tion of models he had


carved. They were eagerly


snapped up at an auction in the White Bull, Gisburn, mainly by locals who admired his craftsmanship. The money will be hand­


ed over on Sunday after­ noon by his four sons during the Gisburn Church fete. And a bench dedicated to


his memory, from the pro­ ceeds of the auction, will also be put in place outside


the church he loved. Mr Mason lived across


the road from the church - he even transformed his daily view into a wooden model of the old building, complete in every detail. The model, which has a


removable roof so that the intricate beam work can be displayed, is now on perma­


nent display inside the


church. Churchwarden Mr


George Bargh said: "He was a great friend of the church. Besides being a devout wor­ shipper he was so gifted at woodcarving. "On more than one occa­


sion he and his friend, the late Mr Alec Hudson, put on fund-raising exhibitions. "He started carving wood


caricatures of well-known | village people and giving


the proceeds to the church. Many a day he has come up


to me and put £50 or £60 in my hand and said, 'That's for the church'. "He used to sit outside his


house across the road from the church and there was j always a friendly wave as people walked past. He was a great village character. He said the sale in the


pub was packed with | friends and people who admired his craftsmanship. The £7,600 would be "a


tremendous boost" to the j £150,000 appeal for repairs to the church roof and


tower. Abbey whist drive winners
