julie.magee@jpress.co.uk Twitter@clithedvertiser


An appeal for funding has been launched to help restore a precious memorial that records the men from the parish of Slaidburn, which includes Newton and Dunsop Bridge, who served in the FirstWorldWar.


St Andrew’s Church at Slaid­ burn is home to the memorial which dates back to the early 1920s and lists all those who no t only died in the Great War but those who lived to tell the tale. Church warden Margaret


Brenchley said that£i,500 was needed to restore the memo­ rial. She is appealing for the relatives of those named on the memorial to get in touch if they want to make a donation. “The memorial is im­

portant in that it is the only record of those men from the area who served in First World War and survived the trench­ es and, the gas attacks,prison camps and the other horrors to which they were subjected. Many of whom suffered for the remainder of their lives because of their experiences,” she said. Its age and the damp con­


ditions in the church means that some of the memorial’s calligraphy writing has start­ ed to fade and the vellum, the fine parchment on which it is written, has become crinkled. Some of the restoration


work will be carried out by a scribe based in York and fund­ ing will also be used to restore


the wooden frame that encas­ es the memorial. The Parochial Church


Council has submitted an ap­ plication for funding to the War Memorial Fund, but it is expected this will not cover the full cost of the restoration. Anyone who would like to


make a donation should con­ tact Mrs Margaret Brenchley, at 16 Gooselands, Rathmell, Settle, BD240LT. • Slaidburn archivists are


also researching the stories behind those local men who fought in the First World War and are named on war memo­ rials in the Hodder Valley. Margaret Brenchley, who


is also one of the archivists at Slaidburn Village Archive, wants to hear from the rela­ tives of the men listed on the war memorials who may have memorabilia for a future dis­ play in St Andrew’s Church. “One lady brought in the


original letters that had been written by the nurse in the hospitals in France, informing his family that their son had died,” Margaret explained. There are war memorials


in Slaidburn, Dunsop Bridge, Newton and Dalehead and al­ so at Tosside in both church and chapel, with one or two’ names duplicated on each. “We know that some of


the families still reside in the Valley,but there are some that live away that we really need to contact us,” said Margaret. Any photographs or docu­


ments would be copied and re­ turned to their owners. Anyone withphotographs


and documents can call the archive on 01200 446161 or Margaret on 01729 840690.

A joint investigation will be carried out by the police and fire service after sever­ al “suspicious” fires on the moors above Waddington caused severe damage to a cabin. Fire crews received a call


that a clay pigeon shooting hut situated on moorland above what used to be the Moorcock Inn was on fire at around 7-10 pm on bank holi­ day Monday. When the f ir s t crew


from Clitheroe Fire Sta­ tion arrived at the scene they discovered the cabin was ablaze and other areas where fires had been started


further up Waddington Fell. Dave McGrath, watch


manager at Clitheroe Fire Station, said the fires were being treated as being of “suspicious origin”. He added that youngsters


hadbeenseeninthe area and that a joint investigation between the police and the fire service was being car­ ried out. Two fire crews spent an


hour controlling the fires that had been started on the moorland off Clitheroe Road, Waddington Firefighters used a door


jam-device, two sets of breathing apparatus and a thermal imaging camera. • They also used an Aqua-


pack, ventilation unit and two beaters.

Angry man threw pot at window


A 34-year-old man angry at being locked out by his girl­ friend launched a large plant pot through the'double glazed living room window at her mum’s home in Billington. Blackburn magistrates


heard that Craig Michael Robinson also assaulted his partner’s sis ter during the late night incident. Robinson, of Acresfieid


Close, Blackrod, Bolton, plead­ ed guilty to assaulting Jessica Richards and damaging a win­ dow belonging to Jean Rich­ ards. He was fined £330 and ordered to pay £100 in com­ pensation and £105 in costs. Alex Mann (prosecuting)


said that Kerry Richards had been out with Robinson and her sister for a meal and then drinks in Whalley. The sisters went home in a


taxi, having become separat­ ed from Robinson, and Kerry Richards said she saw the de­ fendant “kicking off” outside her mum’s home in Billington. They drove past, but later,


when they were inside the house, he returned demand­ ing to be let in. He shouted that if he did not get the keys he would put the window through and seconds later a large plant pot came through the front window. Kerry and Robinson were


arguing and when Jessica in­ tervened Robinson pushed her to the floor. Robinson, who was not rep­


resented, said he had sorted things out with his girlfriend and had paid her mother £250 for the damage to the window and a glass coffee table that was damaged. “I just had far too much to drink,” he said.
