I'll be soon moving to the area, and I keep bees!! Unfortunately, I can’t keep them in my garden as my garden will not be suitable. I'm looking for a small plot/piece of land where they can be of no nuisance to people or animals, and they won’t bother them either. I will require easy to access. I'm looking to move them wintertime, not straight away. In return for some honey of course!

A good time was had by all. And so, to the next one: Kath's Korner: The Hornby Trippers' next outing is to Boundary Mill in Colne, and we'll have fish and chips at Banny's Restaurant whilst we're there. We'll stop at Skipton on the way. It's a 10am start, picking up at the usual places, and back around 6pm. Government recommendation is to continue wearing facemasks inside buildings and on buses, so we'll have to adhere to that. I'll check with Bibby's how many we can take and will be taking bookings by phone (015242 21845 or 07597774681) from the end of July. I will be in Hornby Institute to collect money on the 3rd and 4th of August from 10am to 12 midday - Regards, Kath. Looking Forward? We will be having a committee meeting at the be- ginning of August. Among other things, we will be discussing the pro- posed planning of post-pandemic events for the daytime rather than during evenings. So please let me (Annie) know, as soon as possible, whether you think that is a good idea or not by ringing 015242 21100 (please leave a message if I don't answer your call). Thank you. We really do want to know what YOU think, so that we can plan events that most members will want to attend. We are still hoping to hold our AGM in September, followed by a social event. Of course, it depends on how the pandemic goes, so details will be published only in next month's newsletters. In the meantime, take care, stay safe and enjoy the summer. HORNBY VILLAGE TRUST We are pleased to see that the bridge is being repaired and are also grateful for the generous weekly payments that the council have offered for parking and using the car park. 10 HORNBY SCHOOLS (PART 2) (Andrew White) The school known as ‘Admiral Tatham’s School’ survived until 1872 when work began on a much larger building, now the Nursery, which opened in 1874. The school was a result of the Education Act of 1870, which extended education to all children. It was paid for by John Fos- ter, owner of the Castle and a very rich man, whose wealth was de- rived from Black Dyke Mills at Queensbury, Halifax, famous for its brass band. As built the school had but one classroom, two cloakrooms and a house for the Headteacher. Classes were held back-to-back in the main room, with a junior teacher and sometimes pupil teachers. Later, in 1894, another classroom was added for infants and the school took children from the age of five to fourteen, although children could leave before then if they had achieved the right grades.

  • Newsletter April 09.Pub
    Spring 2009 At the end of March Wayne Marland retired, and although we all wish him well, it was an event which was greeted with much sadness by everyone who worked with him. Wayne has worked for Lancashire for 23 years, coming to the advisory service from Edge Hill, where he lectured in Education for 8 years, after working as a teacher in Manchester. He has always been a staunch advocate for race equality, bringing to the debate a profound knowledge and understanding of the issues that made him the Race Equality touchstone for teachers, advisers and partners alike, and the lynchpin for policy and practice in Lancashire. Always suspicious of fashions and trends in education, Wayne's grasp of the historical, social, psychological and educational contexts for racism and inequality has allowed him to develop and support strategies and initiatives that affect real change, often ahead of national policy. Anyone who has been lucky enough to hear him speak at conferences and courses will know that he can be inspirational, challenging assumptions and attitudes and cutting through to the core purpose of education for a just society. His knowledge, commitment, passion and integrity will be greatly missed as will his sense of humour and his mischievous tendency to subversion. It has been a pleasure and a privilege to work with him and we wish him a long and happy retirement. Guided Talk what is it and why should we do it? Children learning English as an additional language need opportunities to hear language modelled and to have opportunities to rehearse language across the different curriculum areas before they are asked to write.

  • 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.
