    KEEPING STUDENTS WELL INFORMED AT HOME DURING SUMMER VACATION Exploring the realms of history, science, nature and technology ICE CREAM Ice cream is a familiar and delicious comfort food for many people, so it is not surprising that sales of ice cream and frozen novelties soared over the past year. This love of desserts may also be responsible for some of the pounds that many of us have put on. Making ice cream before refrigeration When salt is added to water, it lowers the mixture's freezing point, causing it to absorb more heat from its surroundings as it melts. Placing sweetened cream into a packed vessel of salty ice and churning the mixture was the way to make ice cream until 1913, when electric refrigeration for home use was invented, but some people still hand-churn ice cream today.

  • 019 2017 July August Rowell Heritage.Pdf
    Well summer is officially here and we are now in the holiday season so that is the theme of this issue. Although Rowell Fair has been and gone there is an article on it this month along with photographs of the Proclamation and Frank York, the new Bailiff. Thank you to Geoff Davis for submitting those. Also thank you to two of our regular contributors Helen Brown and David York for their articles. If you have any articles for submission or photographs to share, please get in touch. Contact details below. Please note that whilst every care is taken to be accurate, no liability will be accepted should any of the contents of this magazine be incorrect. Rowell Fair and the Proclamation 2017 by Geoff Davis On Trinity Sunday, 11th June, the traditional Blessing of the Fair took place and the service was conducted on Market Hill by Canon John Westwood. This followed the Civic Service which had been held in the Methodist Church and celebrated the many years of dedication to the Town Council by Clive Cross, the new Mayor of Rothwell. On Monday 12th June, the Proclamation of the Fair began with the first reading of the Charter at 06:00 outside the parish church. The procession then made its way down Squires Hill and paused at the War Memorial where the Band played the 23rd Psalm. There was a minute’s silence in remembrance of the victims of the recent atrocities in Manchester and London. Members of the Rowell Fair Society who had died since the last Proclamation were also remembered, especially the previous bailiff, Alan Mills.
