  • Lathom Abbey Lodge No 2229 It Is Right to Acknowledge That from the Establishment of the Lodge of Harmony and the Concern Of
    Lathom Abbey Lodge No 2229 It is right to acknowledge that from the establishment of the Lodge of Harmony and the concern of those early Masons a foundation was laid from which the Ormskirk Group was eventually established, of which Lathom Abbey is a part. WBro Charles M.Hesford, Chairman of the Ormskirk Group and a Past Master of the Lodge of Harmony instigated the move to form Lathom Abbey Lodge when in 1945 he spoke to WBro.John E Funk and WBro. E R Skaife suggesting the formation of another lodge. The establishment of Pilgrim in 1946 just prior to the formation of Lathom Abbey Lodge in 1947 was to provide Masonic facilities to those who had come out of Liverpool during the war years. They met at the Kings Arms whilst Lathom Abbey was to draw its members from the business community of Ormskirk and met at the Wheatsheaf Hotel. During the meeting on 16 November 1945, at which the details relating to the formation were discussed, the name by which the Lodge was to be known brought the suggestion Abbey Lodge. When this was put to the Grand Lodge permission to use this name was refused on the grounds that the name was already in use by eleven orders. However, if a suitable prefix could be found this would be acceptable. The founders agreed upon Lathom Abbey Lodge. The Abbey referred to is, of course, Burscough Priory whose ruins now stand on Abbey farm which is situated in Lathom and adjacent to Lathom House which was the residence of the Derby family, hereby maintaining the Masonic connections between many pieces of local history.

  • IIJ*EW Counties in England Have Altered So
    NOTES ON THE ANCIENT RELIGIOUS HOUSES OF THE COUNTY OF LANCASTER. By Dom Gilbert Dolan, O.S.B. Read 15th December, 1S92. IJ*EW counties in England have altered so I greatly in the last two centuries as Lanca- shire. While Wilts and Dorset—even Cheshire and Derbyshire, nearer home — have scarcely changed with the passing years, the discoveries of iron and coal, the growth of a great commerce and the vast increase of its population have made of Lancashire a land which the men and women of the sixteenth century would barely recognise. And we, if we would understand the manners and institutions, the tone of thought, the social stand- ards of olden clays, must try and forget the present. Above , all, if we would grasp the right idea of the theory and functions of the religious houses which—few in number and comparatively of slender importance—were scattered over the broad surface of Lancashire, we must put aside all thought of our ever-growing cities, the busy, crowded and unrestful population, the marts and 202 Notes on the A ncient Religious Houses manufactures, the canals and railroads, the ships and the smoke, the thousand enterprises and multi- form activity which we associate with our county to-day, and go back in imagination to the times when there was scarcely a more thinly-peopled part of England than the land between the Duddon and the Mersey. This great shire was but a poor place as things went then. Of its towns, Lancaster was probably the only one whose name was known two hundred miles away; Preston, and the vast aggregation of cities which men call Manchester, were but thriving market towns; Liverpool—mis- tress of the commerce of two continents—was but struggling into existence, when the earliest of the Lancashire monasteries was founded on the banks of the Ribble.

  • Thomas Fleetwood and the Draining of Martin Mere
    Thomas Fleetwood and the draining of Martin Mere John Virgoe Today, Martin Mere, some six miles north of Ormskirk in west Lancashire, is best known as a reserve of the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust, but the area was formerly the site of one of the largest expanses of fresh water in the county, described by Leland in the mid-sixteenth century as the ‘Greatest meare of Lancastreshire’.1 Its dimensions probably changed seasonally, as the shallows dried up in summer, but it was evidently about four miles long by two miles wide at its furthest extremities, with a perimeter about fourteen miles in length and with a probable surface area between five and six square miles. The Mere apparently had two outfalls: at the east end into the River Douglas, and during times of flood, at the north-west, towards the sea. Five townships, Tarleton, Rufford, Burscough, Scarisbrick and North Meols, shared the shoreline between them. In the seventeenth century the economic use consisted of fishing (each township having its own separate fisheries); wildfowling and egg collecting; supplying reeds for thatching; summer grazing on the islands for both horses and cattle; and the use of peat and ‘moss wood’ (tree stocks found within the peat), as a source of heat and light.2 Nowadays the area covered by the former Martin Mere is high quality farming land due to a series of initiatives going back over three hundred years; only the area of the wildfowl reserve is now covered by water due to the creation of a number of ponds when the reserve was established in 1 Lucy Toulmin Smith, ed., The itinary of John Leland in or about 1535-1543 (5 vols, London, 1907-10), v, p.

  • Lathom Chapel & Burscough Priory a 5.5 Mile Walk Mainly on Tracks And
    1 Lathom Chapel & Burscough Priory A 5.5 mile walk mainly on tracks and fields and almost completely flat and although the fields can be a little soggy in wet weather, there is usually little mud. Initially the walk visits the Lathom Park Chapel and later passes the ruins of Burscough Priory. See the last page for some further information on the Chapel and Priory. The walk starts from a layby at SD 454 091 and the post code L40 5UE is a few 100ft south of this. It is important to always be appropriately dressed for the conditions and carry, and know how to use, a suitable map for the walk. This description can be used/printed/shared for personal use, or to lead a walk but not for commercial use without the author’s written consent. 2-June-2016 2 1: SD 454 091 There is good parking space in this separated layby that is also the access road to the Chapel. Initially follow the road ¼ mile (400m) to the chapel, i.e. head East. 2. SD457934 View the chapel and it’s connected Alms houses. It has a burial vault with rails and a well kept garden. The drive also has a “Cromwell Stone”. To continue, return alone the road to the starting point and then cross the very busy road. 3. SD 454 091 Having crossed onto Cranes Lane, follow this close to 1 mile.(1.6Km). The lane is a mixture of rough track and tarmacadam. Nearing the end you pass a golf course on the left.

  • WEST LANCASHIRE Ormskirk
    WEST LANCASHIRE Ormskirk Ormskirk is a lively market town which combines history and character with excellent shopping and thriving local industry. It is a popular destination for shoppers with the bustling Charter Market a magnet each Thursday and Saturday. The market town serves a mainly agricultural area of very high quality land and the town, which has excellent rail links, has increasing become home to people who work in nearby Liverpool. Ormskirk is the civic heart of West Lancashire and is home of the district council offices and the area's general hospital. Edge Hill University is also renowned as a higher education centre. Ormskirk's history through the centuries... One of the roads the Romans constructed through Britain nearly 2000 years ago ran northwards from the Cheshire salt towns, over the Mersey, through Wigan to Preston and Lancaster. Another of these roads has been partly traced from Wigan to a Roman port on the west coast, passing through Ormskirk around Otters head Farm where Roman coins were found. Other Roman relics include a quern discovered at Slack Farm and are now in the museum at Wigan. The derivation of the name of Ormskirk is undoubtedly Scandinavian. The Vikings are known to have landed on the coast in the 9th century and they penetrated inland, possibly along the disused Roman road, to settle at Ormskirk and places round about. Ormskirk might signify the place where Ormskirk founded a settlement and built a church - but there are other theories. Although Ormskirk is not included in the Domesday survey of 1086, it was an important town and was the administrative centre of the Hundred of West Derby.
