At the same time a church was formed, consisting of seven male members, viz" Jonathan Tyng, John Cummings, senior, John Blanchard, Cornelius Waldo, Samuel Warner, Obadiah Perry and Samuel French. John Blanchard and Cornelius Waldo were chosen the first deacons. The following is the Covenant which was adopted in the neighboring churches at that period, and which undoubtedly was adopted here. It is substantially the same as that which was framed for the First Church in Salem, by the associated churches of the colony, in 1629, and promulgated by the General Assembly in 168o, for the use of the colony.

  • Portrait of a Bowbearer
    PORTRAIT OF A BOWBEARER William Bowland Richard Eastwood, the butcher’s son who became Bowbearer of the Forest of Bowland There have been Bowbearers of the Forest of Bowland since the twelfth century. Perhaps the most notorious of these being Nicholas Tempest who was hanged, drawn and quartered at Tyburn in 1537 for his part in the ill-fated Pilgrimage of Grace, the Catholic revolt against Henry VIII. Thomas Lister Parker (b. 1797) was among the more colourful. His lavish re- modelling of Browsholme Hall led to ruin and bankruptcy while he exploited local history, through his patronage of Thomas Dunham Whitaker, to inflate the glories of his ancestral line. To Lister Parker, we owe the myth of the hereditary Bowbearer – a right he claimed proudly and disingenuously right up to the time of his death in 1858 (his cousin having legally assumed the Bowbearership in 1820 at the time he purchased the Browsholme estate). 1 However, for much of its long history, the Bowbearership – an ancient ceremonial office bestowed upon an official who accompanied the Lord of Bowland hunting and literally bore his bow – has been a quiet affair, held by the heads of worthy local families and sometimes their sons: the Rawlinsons, the Listers, the Fenwicks. On two occasions only in nine hundred years do we see the office retained within families and across generations for any period of time: by the de Boltons in the twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth centuries; and by the Parkers in the three centuries after the Restoration. Early Bowbearers appear to have been foresters in fee , holders of their own feudal lands within the Forest.

  • Review of the Borough of Ribble Valley
    Boundary Review Review of The Borough of Ribble Valley Ribble Valley Borough Council - Warding Proposal To the Local Government Boundary Commission for England January 2017 Ribble Valley Borough Council set up a cross‐party working group to consider proposals on the warding patterns with support from officers. The group recognised that changes were required in order to gain electoral equality across the borough. Some wards are already outside the +/- 10% variance and other wards will be by 2022 following expected development. The electoral forecast for 2022 is 48,027 which equates to 1,201 electors per Councillor (currently 1136). The working group worked on a number of options. The working groups preferred option was submitted to Policy and Finance Committee on 24 January and the committee approved the option being submitted as the Council’s proposals. The Council has followed the principle of trying to keep parishes as a whole, however it was considered it was impossible to make the numbers up (retaining 40 members) without splitting two parishes. Please find below the Council’s proposals: The Proposals Having considered the forecast electorate and warding it is recommended that remaining with 40 Councillors would provide efficient and effective representation to the public and best enable appropriate warding proposals. Calculations based on alternative numbers of Councillors, for example 41, didn’t work across the borough and in some wards created even bigger variances. The review started by looking at the wards at the outermost edges of the borough in the north east and south west of the borough - as there is less scope for changes to boundaries in these areas due to being surrounded by other boroughs.

  • From the Headmaster
    A M D G T H U R S D A Y 4 F E B R U A R Y From the Headmaster This week we reflected on the Parable of the Talents from the New Testament. The Master of a house goes on a long journey. Whilst he is away he entrusts his property to his three servants. To his first servant he gives five talents. He gives two talents to his second servant. To the third servant he gives simply one talent. When the Master returns from his journey he demands to see what his servants have done with the talents he has given them. The first two servants have invested wisely and have grown the original and multiplied the talents. The Master is pleased with them and calls then ‘faithful servants’. However, the third servant has buried his talent and just returns the original to his angry Master. The parable is not about investment strategy, but about stewardship. The word ‘talent’ has the dual meaning of either money or skills and attributes. This week I hosted receptions in Mexico and Spain (without leaving the Ribble Valley!) and explained our motto Quant Je Puis to the families present in terms of stewardship. The responsibility of each one of us to make the most of the gifts and talents given to us by God. Even to be a little adventurous and take a risk with them. Whatever they are. There are some amazing talents within the College community: a British tennis champion who has just won a scholarship to the United States; a Welsh international hockey player; a Gibraltarian international netball player; a number of pupils who are ranked nationally for show jumping and dressage; countless representatives of all the major Stonyhurst sports at County and Club level (with the addition of ice hockey); a musician with a record deal; a dancer who has worked with the English National Ballet; a member of the National Youth Choir; an actor who was in the film Lord of the Rings; a racing car driver who competes in National Championships; pupils who are learning to fly; a winner of a national engineering competition and numerous winners of national academic medals for Mathematics and science.
