A different slant on witches in Lan cashire was given in a talk by Mr J. West- all. The English king, James 1, who was also James VI of Scotland, was involved in the perse cution of “witches” in his native country.
Over a period of time it was believed trials of G,000 Scottish witches were held, compared with 1,000 in England.
On becoming King of England, James’ interests widened to
include unrest in many English coun ties where witchcraft was said to flourish. Following cruel treat ment when they were being questioned, the women were then punished.
Some questioning was done by Roger Now ell, of Read Hall.

Beavers in party mood
PARTY-TIME with fun and games was the order of the day as a local Beaver Scout Group cele brated its second birth day. St Michael and St
John’s Beaver Scouts, a thriving group of 18 Beavers, celebrated with an evening full of games, party food and a birthday cake, which was enjoyed by everyone. The Beavers, aged six
to eight and led by Katie Hickling, have recently enjoyed a v isit from a police officer and a trip to Clitheroe Fire Station. The forthcoming weeks
offer more fun activities with a trip to the vets at Myerscough College being organised. The Beavers are also
looking forward to a visit from a another local Beaver Scout Leader, Sheraz Arshad, of 1st Clitheroe Beaver Scouts, who will talk about his Muslim religion and cul ture. Parents who are inter
ested in their son or daughter joining the group, can contact Katie on 01200 442133, though there is a waiting list. The group meets every

Ramblers on trail of murder
IT was standing room only on the Slaidburn bus when 22 Clitherore Ramblers went t o ' Whitewell to start their walk back to Clitheroe. Although only mid-April, it
was a beautiful "summer’s day", with a gentle, pleasant, zephyr to our backs. The fine weather of recent
days had dried out the ground so the conditions underfoot were ideal. There was a slight haze so the distant views gained in grandeur what they lost in detail. The way was up by the side of
the new cemetery and past Raven Scar Plantation to the wood before Crimpton. We
enjoyed a short stop here for a good look a,t the view of the Hodder Valley. Then on past Crimpton up to Spire on Brow- sholrae Heights. Here we had a prospect of distant Pendle ahead and Longridge Fell to the right, with the sound of skylarks to complete the pleasure of the moment. It was now a steady downhill to reach the road near Browsholme Hall. After a little way along the
quiet road, the group turned left on to the narrow minor road (sometimes called "Rabbit Lane") through Bashall Moor Wood and onwards to Clough Bottom and Saddle'Bridge (or "Fairy Bridge"). Near this old
stone footbridge the group had an enjoyable lunch stop in the warm sunshine. Then on to Bashall Hall where
the story of Henry Vi's capture and, the events of the "Bashall Eaves Murder" were recounted. From the bridge there was a good view of many fish, some quite big, in the brook, and a heron seemed keen for us to move on so he could resume his dinner. The final stretch of the enjoy
able walk was past Cheetall to Edisford Bridge and across the fields from Low Moor to the Interchange where we had start ed.
