Large family is very grateful for Prudence’s long and happy life


by Robbie Robinson


A TIRELESS mother of 11, nurse and sports centre campaigner has died after


a short illness at the age of 94. • Mrs Prudence Taylor Birtwistle (pic­


tured, left) was,bom at Barrow on August lst; l908, arid'attended the village school until she was 14, when she left to work as a trainee weaver at Judge Walmsley Mill, in Billington.


She married in 1931, when her husband,


Richard, was a soldier in the Green Howards, and used to recall that she said she was not going to have any children, but fate had other


ideas. The couple had seven daughters, including


twins, and four sons, but one of their daugh­ ters died in 1992. Mrs Birtwistle worked as a nurse for several years at Calderstones Hospi­ tal and later as dining hall supervisor at Brockhall Hospital, Old Langho, a position she held for 15 years. After Mr Birtwistle died in 1965, she devot-


ed herself to charity work, as well as helping to bring up four of her grandchildren. She served on the Roefield Barn Commit­


tee, which fought for the sports and leisure centre which Roefield has become, was chair­ man of the Ribble Valley Disabled Action Group and sold poppies in the village during Poppy Appeals. She was also an active mem­ ber of the Standfast Women’s Institute at Calderstones and a founder member of Wiswell WI. Mrs Birtwistle was known and respected by


generations of children growing up in Barrow. She regularly gave talks at the school about her life in the village and school days past, and her popularity led to her being invited to open the new classroom extension some years ago. Mrs Birtwistle’s advice for achieving


longevity was to try not to worry, and her large and growing family gave her much joy, with children and grandchildren gathering for


celebrations. Her daughter, Mrs Sheila Jackson, and her

heart attack cases, and the sophisticated mod­ ern equipment now available means people with little or no medical knowledge can be trained to help,” says Mr Woods, a community support worker for the Social Services. “A day’s course is all it takes and yet it can

a gap year before entering Durham University to read English, and younger sister Katy (14) is a pupil at Bowland High School, Grindle- ton. Histo-pathology is a particular interest of

A history of th e workhouse


A BOOK about the history of Clitheroe Workhouse has received plaudits from a spe­ cialist national magazine. Former Clitheroe Royal Grammar School


pupil Mr Frank Lofthouse spent five years researching and writing “Keepers of the House”, an interest sparked off by the fact his great-grandparents were master and matron of the workhouse in the 1800s. His book receives a spread in the January


edition of “Family Tree”, in which it is described as “a very readable, important doc­ umentary of the social development of Eng­ land in Victorian times”. Architect Mr Lofthouse, who lives in South-


port, has already sold more than half of the book’s first print run.
