A “BEHIND the scenes” tour of a top North West restaurant served up a memorable starter for pupils and staff from a Ribble Valley school. The visitors from Stonyhurst


College, Hurst Green, were fasci­ nated a t the work involved in preparing food a t Northcote Manor, near Clitheroe. And they were only too happy


to “sample the goods” later, with a three-course meal.


The evening was hosted by


Northcote Manor owner Mr Craig Bancroft, who also intro­ duced the: 17 sixth-form pupils and four staff to wine tasting, including instruction on the dif­ ferent wines that complement dif­ ferent foods. Pictured is Mr Bancroft show­

GUEST speaker Mr Tony Ormis- ton’s account of the history of the Victoria Cross was much appreci­ ated at the latest meeting of the Clitheroe Probus club. Illustrated with a wealth of


facts and figures, his vivid descrip­ tions brought to life the heroism of the winners of the ultimate award for courage. The speaker said that, regret­


fully, this country has always been poor in recognising military val­ our, with 18 winners of the VC later committing suicide often in straightened circumstances. Sir Winston Churchill had been


recommended for awards on two occasions, but authority thought his ego was inflated enough already - on such whims were awards made or not made 1 Surprisingly two VCs were

Who will ml m


E S T 1887 ety. . . : . The eldest son, Thomas, 15 years older,


than Diana, became a soldier, served with distinction in the Boer War and came. home safely in 1902. He then volunteered ■ to go to Somaliland to help settle a minor tribal uprising, but was shot in 1904. Lord Ribblesdale and Gisburn mourned the loss of its son and heir. Thomas’s best friend, Matthew Wil­


son, of Eshton Hall, Gargrave, visited the family, and in the following year married Thomas’s elder sister, Barbara, leaving three members of the family still at home. Charles, Diana’s older brother by six


years, had a brilliant career at Oxford, leaving Balliol college with a first-class degree and joining the Diplomatic Ser- • vice. This left the two little girls, Laura- and Diana, close in age and devoted to each other all of their lives. ' In 1910, Laura, at the age of 18, mar­


ried Lord Lovat of the historic Scottish Roman Catholic family, and after a grand London wedding moved to his seat, Beau­ fort Castle. Sadly, Lady Ribblesdale died the following year, of tuberculosis. Three years later, Diana married Percy


Wyndham who was in the Grenadier Guards, but on the outbreak of the First World War in 1914 he went to France, and was killed the following month. ■

garden, which later became famous. Sadly, after 10 years, problems arose. The Earl’s health declined, part of their


■ Her brother, Charles, volunteered for


service, went out to the Dardanelles, and wounded, died on a hospital ship in the Aegean and is buried on an island there. So Diana was a widow at 21, after only


17 months of marriage. Undaunted, she went to France to nurse the wounded and in 1918 married Arthur Capel, an Eng­ lishman living in Paris. A Roman Catholic and rich industrialist, he was very dashing, and a keen sportsman. After the birth of their first child, he was killed in a car crash in 1920. Widowed again, Diana at 27 had lost


both her brothers, her mother, and two husbands, but the courage of the Ribbles­ dale family helped her through and in 1923 she married the Earl of Westmor­ land. They lived in a large historic house, Lygrove, in Gloucestershire, where their three children were bom. Life was very good at first as they were


extremely wealthy and with the support of a large staff, developed the house and


wealth was embezzled, and the Second World War transformed life. The staff left, the Earl joined the Navy,


but was soon invalided out and could not adapt to the changed circumstances, so took to alcohol and gambling, causing stress in the marriage, and he died in 1948. At 55, Diana had long years of widow­


hood in reduced circumstances, but she stayed at Lygrove. In her declining years the house deteri­


orated badly. She lived in one room, and was visited and supported by her chil­ dren, until her death at 90. She was buried in the churchyard at Little Badminton alongside her husband. The vote of thanks was given by Mary


Rawes. The next meeting will be the Christmas Party which is by ticket only. The January meeting will be at'


Clitheroe Cricket Club when the guest speaker will be Victoria Wood, talking about “Ted’s Clacton Belle.”
