It is worth, though, putting the mortality figures in perspective; many more people die each week in the UK from ‘flu. Of course we need to be aware of how we can prevent the spread of the virus through our own personal hygiene habits and also look out for friends and neighbours who may fall ill very quickly. The Parish Council’s March meeting discussed what its response to a local outbreak should be and on page 9 the Neighbourhood Watch team advertise themselves ready to assist residents. These are positive signs of a community recognising a common purpose and thinking about how to pull together. There is much we can do as individuals to look out for friends and neighbours and help them if it is safe to do so. Less happily, the Parish Council heard that some residents in the Greenways and Church Bank areas had received letters from the City Council seeking information on an outbreak of dog fouling on footpaths used by children going to school. One resident spoke at the Parish Council of seeing a dog walker tie a bag of dog poo to a barbed-wire fence and walk away. It seems there are some in the community who live in their own shell and do not consider the health and safety of others - especially very young children who might be tempted to pick up or play with a bag unaware of the health hazard it contains. Since the letters were sent out the problem seems to have diminished. Worryingly, another instance of anti-social behaviour has been brought to our attention by a resident – the tops of a large number of daffodils on the Village Green have been snapped off. If the culprit is a child then the parents need to instil in their off-spring a little more appreciation of the beauty of nature and a sense of appreciation of a community benefit; if the culprit is an adult – just grow up! Peter Clinch 3 Letter from the Vicar One of the major problems each of us faces in our lives is fear. With the coronavirus pandemic spreading across the world, it’s very easy to find ourselves living in fear; fear of catching it; fear of passing it on; fear of what might happen to our loved ones. Living our lives in fear is not a good place to be in. Sometimes there are good reasons to fear; it can be a natural reaction to difficult circumstances. But fear is not meant to be a way of life. As we come to the end of Lent and approach the events of Holy Week, we see many manifestations of fear in the Easter story: the Roman authorities fearful of Jesus’ teaching; Pilate’s fear of the reaction of the crowd when he wanted to release Jesus; Peter’s fear of retribution if he admitted that he was a follower of Jesus. What we see at both the cross and the resurrection is God’s response to fear. At the cross Jesus gave us the opportunity to be set free from our fears. Out of the midst of a dark and desolate situation Jesus defeated the powers of darkness, bringing freedom from fear. At the resurrection, Jesus gave us the chance to be released from our fear of death. Death is probably the last taboo in our culture, something we don’t feel we can talk about or face up to honestly. Life beyond death sounds appealing but unknowable. Jesus came back from death to offer the hope of life beyond death, showing us that death does not have to be the end. The message of Easter is ultimately one of hope: hope in the face of fear; hope in the face of darkness. Whatever it is that generates our fear - illness, loneliness, finance, death - there is hope. “There is no fear in love, because perfect love drives out fear” (1 John 4:18). That’s the hope of Easter, offered to each one of us. Rev Paul Boulter Looking forward Suspension of services - following advice from the Archbishops of Canterbury and York on the Covid-19 outbreak, all public services at St Cuthbert's are suspended until further notice. Further announcements on their resumption will be made in due course. Funerals will still be taking place, but in a more limited format. 4 If you are concerned about the needs of anyone in our community, or for clarity about funerals and other essential ministry, please contact the Vicar on 01524 770300 or e-mail [email protected]. "Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you" 1 Peter 5:7. Looking back The World Day of Prayer on 6th March in the Village Hall was a wonderful occasion, uniting Christians from different churches and children from the school. Thanks to everyone who helped organise the event and participated. Public notice – gravestone of Ellen & Thomas Hilton During the recent storms and strong winds, the headstone of Ellen Hilton (died 1900) and Thomas Hilton (died 1909) was blown over and cracked. The memorial is not in a safe condition. As the memorial is owned by the family of the deceased, this notice is to inform any family members that the Parochial Church Council propose to have the headstone turned over and laid flat so that the inscriptions are visible. If any family members wish to discuss this proposal please can they contact the Vicar by 1st May 2020. Rev Paul Boulter 5 Wilson’s Endowed School News Commonwealth Service at Westminster Abbey on 9th March The children were thrilled to be smiled and waved at by the Royal Family who processed up the aisle only a few inches from our seats. Pop-star Craig David made eleven-year old pupil Laney Holt's day by greeting her with a cheery 'Hello!' Pupils also had the opportunity to speak with Commonwealth athletes and collect their autographs. These included Scotland's Commonwealth athletes, Kevin Moran and Lisa Tobias. The service was filled with colour and pageantry, celebrating the coming together of people drawn from all fifty-three Commonwealth countries. This was a most special experience for our pupils. Coming from a rural school, it enabled the children to embrace the global community through enriching partnerships enjoyed across the Commonwealth. The close proximity to royalty and special guests made for a life-long memory of an exhilarating day. George, aged eleven, said: 'I was thrilled to be there because we saw lots of people from different countries that celebrated all that is good about the Commonwealth'. Swimming Gala Every year the school competes in the Rural Schools’ Swimming Gala held at Salt Ayre Pool. This year ten schools competed, requiring heats for every race. We were thrilled to be placed 1st, 2nd or 3rd in many of the events.

  • Lancashire and the Legend of Robin Hood
    ARKHOLME WITH CAWOOD: The making of a township M. Robinson The object of this article is to consider and to try to explain two aspects of the early history of Arkholme with Cawood. The first concerns the origin of the name. Cawood, once an area of forest belonging to the lords of the Manor of Hornby, is what may loosely be described, in an ornithological context, as an habitational name, derived from the Old English 'ca' + 'wude', meaning the wood inhabited by jackdaws.1 Arkholme or 'Ergune' is a topographical name which to some extent is open to interpretation as will be shown. The second aspect concerns the development of the early community which laid the foundations for Arkholme with Cawood's particular pattern of settlement which has survived, almost untouched, through the centuries. The development theory which will be proposed was grounded in an analysis of the Survey of the Hornby Castle Estates2 undertaken at the end of the sixteenth century, which revealed a strikingly disproportionate number of freeholders in Arkholme with Cawood compared with those in the other four Hornby Manor townships. Location Arkholme with Cawood is situated in South Lonsdale on the River Lune about 12 miles to the north of Lancaster and about 5 miles to the south of Kirkby Lonsdale. The land extends to some 3000 acres of lowland roughly bounded on the east by the River Lune with the Beckerthwaite Beck, which flows into the Lune, and the beginnings of the River Keer forming the boundaries to the north and north west. The boundary line to the west and the south follows no particular natural feature.

  • Log of Hornby School 1900-87
    Hornby School Log-Books 1900-94 The following are extracts from the school log books of Hornby, Lancs., between 1900 and 1994. They are a selection of the most interesting entries over those years. The log books were written by the Headteacher and there are four of them covering this period. The original log books are kept at the school. I am very grateful to Mr.B.G.Wood, Headteacher 1983-94, for allowing me to borrow and make extracts from them. 1900 19th November The Thermometer at 9 o'clock this morning registered only 42 degrees. Fire was lighted at 7 but during the night there had been a very severe frost. Florence Goth who has been suffering for the last few day from earache was not able to attend to her duties. The New Time Table as approved by J.G.IIes HMI was brought into use this morning. 20th November There are still 15 children absent from School on account of Whooping Cough. 26th November Florence Goth has not yet returned to her duties, and it is now known that earache referred to on the opposite page is more correctly described as Mumps. This morning I find several cases of Mumps in the School, and some are absent on that account. Jane Smith is also beginning in the Mumps and ought not to be among the children. She will report herself to Mr Kay at the Central Classes this afternoon. Dr Bone the Medical Officer of Health recommends the closing of the School again indefinitely to stamp out the Mumps and the Whooping Cough.
