stone in the progress of the Stonyhurst Access Appeal, which was launched last year to raise funds for a number of important projects which will be of immense benefit to existing and future
pupils. Mr Johnson was guest of honour at a
champagne reception attended by 150 guests, including former pupils and par ents and current parents, who have donated generously to the appeal fund. Mr Johnson spoke of his love of
words, which had been nurtured in the old library at Stonyhurst when he was a pupil there during, and following the ^ Second World War, between 1941-6. He also stressed the importance of
reading books in today’s internet-domi nated society and admired the wonder ful craftsmanship of the new oak-pan elled library and resource centre as well as the state-of-the art technology used for cataloguing and recording book

and a marvellous aid to discovery and learning. But to use it you must know, to some extent, what you are looking for. A library, by contrast, is also for those who do not know what they are looking for - other than knowledge as such, in its broadest sense, often to be obtained by sheer accident, by stum-
bling on an unknown treasure, or a find when we are looking for something else,
-what Horace Walpole called serendipi ty." Readings were given by pupils
Matthew Lambert (15) of Wiswell, and Bethan Mcllroy (15), from Ribchester. Bethan read an extract from a letter
written in 1882 by the poet Gerard Manley Hopkins, to his friend and fel low poet, Robert Bridges. It described the stirring sight of builders, masons, bricklayers, carpenters, stonecutters and carvers working on the College’s south front during the three years he taught classics at Stonyhurst, and the noble views of the Lancashire land scape. Matthew read a passage from
“Hound of the Baskervilles”, by Arthur Conan Doyle, who drew inspiration for

Weather causes change of plans for ramblers
W E A T H E R conditions forced Clitheroe Ramblers to cancel their planned walk on Wild Boar, Swarth and Baugh Fells last Sunday. Instead, leader Mr Ben Brown
chose a less strenuous, but longer undulating 13-mile trek using the Dalesway and the Pennine Way. Waterproofs were immediately donned as the party of seven set off from Blea Moor Road to the east of Ribblehead along the Dalesway in heavy rain, wind and with limited views. At Cam Houses, as the downpour
showed no sign of relenting, an early refreshment stop was taken before tackling a wet section of path crossed by a series of small streams in spate. Then, just beyond Nethergill,
something quite unexpected hap pened. A patch of blue sky appeared, the rain stopped and the sun briefly shone. Squally showers were soon to return, but lunch was taken imder this window of oppor
tunity beside Oughtershaw Beck. After passing through the remote
hamlet of Oughtershaw, the Dalesway was left behind and a footpath over a boggy field led into the vast expanse of conifer planta- ‘ tion in Langstrothdale. At Low Green Field, the narrow
road from Beckennonds, which ter minates at High Green Field, was joined. Beyond this point the ram blers encoimtered some difficult ter rain with indistinct and intermit tent paths through the boggy morasse of the forest and rough grasslands to eventually meet the Pennine Way at Ling Gill. A brief stop was taken to view the waterfall cascading down the rocky gorge. From here, conditions underfoot
were much improved as the Pennine Way climbed up gradually to Cam End, where the outward Dalesway path was rejoined. An easy mile of downhill brought the party back to the start point and the shelter of the cars.
Furniture in a special sale
A SPECIAL sale of furniture saw a large crowd gathering at Silver- woods Auctions, Clitheroe. The contents of Bradley Hall,
Eccleston, went under the hammer last month, with some of the high lights including a butter churn which reached £105, an oak roll top desk which made £720 and a set of six Gillows-style dining chairs which reached £1,200. In the same sale a mahogany long
case clock sold for £950 and a Vic torian mahogany secretaire book case made £2,000. The fortnightly sale of antiques,
which included furniture from two local residences, saw a tremendous amount of interest. A large Victo rian mahogany brekfront press wardrobe made £2,300, a Regency crossbanded walnut side table £1,200 and an oak-cased brass face 30-hour grandfather clock £1,100.
