MP’s blast over stone wall thefts


RIBBLE VALLEY MP Nigel Evans has hit out at thieves who target dry stone walls in his constituency. The theft of stones - espe­


cially topstones - from dry stone walls is a growing prob­ lem throughout the Valley. Sometimes they are taken at


night, but on other occasions brazen thieves simply turn up in a vehicle in broad daylight, remove the stones and drive away.


If anyone questions them,


they claim to be legitimately working on the wall.

i * Mr Evans commented:


“This is a dreadful crime against the countryside. “The theft of topstones


leads to water getting into the heart of the wall, which in win­ ter, with the cold spells and expanding ice, leads to the dis­ figurement of the walls. “I will contact the police to


ensure that this crime is dealt with effectively.” Pictured is a concerned Mr


Evans next to one of the walls in the Ribble Valley where top­ stones have been removed by thieves, (s)

WHEN the chairman of Fortnum and Mason travelled to the area to talk to members of the Ribble Valley Ladies' Luncheon Club, she amazed her audience by inviting them back to dine with her! It was quite a gesture


and one much appreciat­ ed by 85 people who made the visit this month. Some took an early train


and some flew from Man­ chester or Blackpool, but all thoroughly enjoyed the day out with a difference. The club was welcomed


during a Champagne reception, courtesy of Jana Khayat. The chairman of one of the nation's most prestigious businesses was introduced to the luncheon club by Philip and Dorothy Mclvor, proprietors of Farmhouse Biscuits, Nel­ son. Their company sup­ plies Fortnum and Mason. Former club speakers


Christine and Neil Hamil­ ton joined the group, as did


They went to dinner at Fortnum and Mason!

A BILLINGTON woman with a history of memory loss acciden­ tally overdosed on prescribed medication. ■ An inquest heard that Miss


Barbara Ann Orrett (52), was found dead in the bedroom of her home in Painter Wood, Billing- ton, by concerned neighbours who used a ladder to gain entry. Blood samples showed a level


of the anti-depressant Citalo- pram which was in the range nor­ mally associated with severe tox­ icity rather than fatality. But pathologist Mr Richard


Prescott said that, in his opinion, it was toxicity of the drug that had caused death. The dead woman’s sister, Bren­


da Moseley, said her sister had a history of depression which seemed to come and go. • She said that; during her last


contact on the phone, Miss Orrett had seemed very up-beat and positive. She had just returned from a holiday in Turkey and was planning a return visit. Neighbour and friend Mr


Keith Hartley said that Miss Orrett had been “really up” in recent weeks. She told him she had stopped taking her pills and felt much better for it. “When Hast saw her there was


MP Nigel Evans. Daphne Oxenford (president of Women of the North and of "Listen with Mother" fame) was a guest and spoke to congratulate the club on its outstanding fund-raising for research into childhood cancers. Baroness Hayman spoke


on behalf of Cancer Research UK and author Santa Montefiore, a popu­ lar visitor to the Ribble Valley Literary events, missed the first day of her new book tour to join Rib­ ble Valley visitors to the nation's capital. A vote of thanks was


extended to the hosts by Penny Green, and the ladies - and quite a few hus­ bands - returned to the


nothing that gave me any cause for concern,” said Mr Hartley. Recording a verdict of acci­


dental death, Deputy Blackburn I-Iyndburn and Ribble Valley Coroner Mrs Carolyn Singleton said that, despite Miss Orrett’s history of depression, there was nothing in her behaviour imme­ diately prior to her death that gave anyone any cause for con­ cern. “I take on board the problems


Miss Orrett had with memory loss and I am satisfied that, on balance, this was an accident,” she added.


Valley from the capital hav­ ing raised another £2,600. Fortnum and Mason, the Mclvors, the Hamiltons, Santa Montefiore, the DeVere Hotel and even the


Duchess of York con­ tributed items for another well-supported auction. Pictured (top) are
