market and “Swales’”, where he used to enjoy lunch, Mr Leonard attended St Michael and St John’s R.C. Church on Lowergate, Clitheroe. A man of principles, in his early 20s, Mr Leonard was a founder member of the “Pioneer Abstinence Movement” in Ireland and 70 years on, received his gold com­ memorative pin for abstaining from alcohol for all those years. Mr Leonard lived at his home


in Highfield Road, Clitheroe, for 50 years, before moving in


\vith his son, Aidan, and daugh­ ter-in-law, Wyn, at their home in West Bradford earlier this year. A patient at Clitheroe Hospi­

Dr Ann Huson and the staff at Clitheroe Health Centre’s treat­ ment room. A requiem mass will be held at St Michael and St John’s R.C.

Liver patient was waiting to undergo a transplant


A WEST BRADFORD man died of pneumonia and cirrho­ sis of the liver, an inquest heard. Peter Greenwood (59), of


Ribble Drive, died at Pendle- side Hospice in March after a long illness and was waiting for a liver transplant a t the time of his death. East Lancashire Coroner


Richard Taylor also heard that Mr Greenwood had a sus­ pected tumour in his sinuses. The inquest heard that Mr


Greenwood had begun to com­ plain of abdominal pains in May 2005 and had been given painkillers by his GP, but these had not helped and he was admitted to hospital in Blackburn for an operation on June 7th last year W his con­


dition deteriorated. I t was also discovered that his liver was in a very poor condition, even though he was not a drinker. Consultant pathologist at


Burnley General Hospital Dr Zuhair Twaij, who performed Mr Greenwood’s post­ mortem, said that he had been suffering from bronchial pneu­ monia and cirrhosis of the liver, which was not due to excessive alcohol. He said: “There are many causes of this type of disease in the liver, only one of which is drinking alcohol to excess.” He was not able to check the tumour in his sinuses. Mr Taylor recorded a ver­


dict of death by natural caus­ es.

years ago. Its first major event was a t the Last Night of the Proms concert in August 2003. Around 100 singers are on the choir’s list and everyone is written to and invited to sing at forthcoming events. Anyone interested in taking


p a r t in the Christmas per­ formance should co ntac t Steuart Kellington on 01254 248855 or Leon Saberton 01200 425988.
