NEWTON PENDLETON


Wild flowers v Following discussions with parish council­ lors, local volunteers have, marked a colony of a rare wild flower, the Melan­ choly Thistle; grow­ ing on a roadside verge in Newton in order to protect it from mowing before it flowers.


First- identified in 'Britain from Ingle- borough as long ago as 1581, this hand­ some wild flower was, until recently, a feature of many upland meadows, river banks and roadsides in the old West Riding of Yorkshire, especially in the Yorkshire Dales. It is now increasingly rare in the Forest of Bow- land, and the colony at Newton is one of the few that remain in Lancashire, as well as one of the largest.


Its odd ' name is thought to have come from the drooping habit of the flowers when


■ they first appear. This may be why •the : plant:: was


Strawberry tea An invitation to enjoy "Strawberries at Standen" on Sun­ day, July -12th, is issued by Pendleton Village Hall com­ mittee.

regarded in past times as a cure for depression, but there is no scientific basis for this. On the other hand, it is not a pernicious field or garden weed eitherl


The Rector of Ribch- ester, Fr John Fran­ cis, announced to his congregation at Sun­ day’s communion


.. service in St Wil­ frid’s Church, Ribch- ester, his imminent retirement.


He has given this statement: “This August I reach a sig­ nificant birth- day.This, together with other impor­ tant milestones, are clustered just now: the long hoped-for. and prayed-for ordi­ nation of Christo­ pher Holden; my own 35th anniver­ sary in Sacred Orders, and, of course, over 13 years as rector here.


School choir The choir of Read CE School will be pere- forming “Beauty and the Beast” for


.their end-of-year concert. Show times are for the public, visitors and parents on Tuesday, July


“At the crossroads where these mile­ stones stand, I can discern a parish that is in good heart, in such a condition that it is ripe to be steered into fresh directions by a new pair of hands. These last sue years, partic­ ularly, have been used to encourage ways by which the congregation can take more responsi­ bility for its own running and deter-


^ mining. “I; thought, that I . might have another


job in me, and could bring my experience to a new challenge somewhere else, but, to be frank, I just cannot relish; the business of starting all over again for what would be a shortish time. So I have decided to


. retire. The Bishop has granted me his permission to offici­ ate throughout the diocese, when I leave on August 31st.


“I thank all those who have generously accepted my min­ istry here, both in the regular congre­ gations and in the much wider village and surrounds. I ■ thought I might stay three to five years,


- when I arrived in 1996. The fact that I am still here after 13 testifies to the scope of a never-ending job and the quality of folk who have been its lifeblood. There have been highs and lows, of course. That is part of family life, if it is lived in -vitali­ ty not formality.


“I have always said that I would know when-to go by sens­ ing that the place was in the state that I’d like to have oth- ' ers start with. That time has now come.


“Please pray for me in the next exciting •phase of my min- ' istry and life. I will


. ever pray for Ribch- ester.”
