The Nook, Penny Bridgg Ulverston, Cumbria, LA12 8HA Tel. 01229 861053 Mob.A7771903051 coLToN PARISH - ANNUAL REPORT During the year the Lengthsman has cleaned out 187 drains all over the Parish from the Coniston East Road to Riddings Bay and Lakeside, from the Rusland Valley to Penny Bridge including the whole lengh of Bessy Bank Road after contractors renewed the road surface and covered the drain covers with tar. 91 Drains were marked on maps for Cumbria County Council. I have found many drain covers upside down and in the wrong way round. Several Culverts have been cleaned out and some new ones added to the annual list to inspect each Autumn for blockage. Storms, in particular, Storm Ophelia ravaged the Rusland Valley causing flooding that saw a wall having to be pushed down to release the trapped water and photographs and a write up in The Guardian Countryfile column. The outstanding fallen rocks have been removed from the dangerous bend to the A590 and three sacks of rubbish were collected and disposed of from the Bouth turn off. A sign post to Hay Bridge was restored which has led me to carrying out similar work in the Furness area. A London based film company spent two days making a short documentary film of the Lengthsman in the Parish and expected to be released this year. Cumbria County Counqil were asked to clear verges around the Rusland Triangle & a gully sucker to clean two drains at Penny Bridge. Archie Workman Lengthsman 14 May 2018.

History of Holy Trinity, Colton
- HOLY TRINITY CHURCH COLTON NOTES ON ITS HISTORY AND ENVIRONS The parish of Colton lies in that part of Cumbria which was known as High Furness (now South Lakeland) and though it is not generally thought of as being part of the English Lake District, it is yet near enough to that enchanting region to share some of the magic of its renowned beauty. The sterner and wilder aspects of Nature - high mountains, difficult passes, deep lakes, raging and tumultuous water falls are not here; these lie farther North. A glimpse, however, of what we may expect there is suggested if from Colton we look across the beautiful valley of the Crake coming from Coniston Water, to that noble group of mountains which includes the Old Man, Dow Crag and Wetherlam. Though this scene is less majestic and awe-inspiring than the more famous Cumbrian views, yet its loveliness delights the eye and seems to link our Colton panorama with the beginning of the true Lake District. We have around us, in this parish of Colton, scenery of a charm and variety which provides perpetual wonder and joy. There are fine stretches of fell country across which streams and becks innumerable make their picturesque courses to the rivers Leven and Crake, adding 'the beauty born of murmuring sound' to their visual attractions. The scenery is far more diversified than that of Low Furness and it has a varied and irregular surface of cheerful valleys, rocky but modest acclivities and hanging woods everywhere, clothing their sides, almost to their summits. Colton Church is set in a scene of such wonderful beauty that anyone approaching it for the first time might be forgiven if he compared the apparent insignificance of man's handiwork with the striking loveliness of surrounding Nature.
