R. MORRIS B.Sc., M.Ed. NO.2 SUMMER 1995 EDITORIAL Welcome to edition number 2 of the B.R.G.S. Association Newsletter - a lot of developments have taken place since our firstedition last November. The Association now has a formal membership of over one hundred and fifty past pupils of the school. Thismembership, which is growing weekly, extends from our oldest known member tv1r.Henry Howard of Bacup who attended B.R.G.S.from 1918 - 1923, to a number of this years Sixth Form leavers. A big recruitment drive is planned for September/October of this year with articles featuring the work of the Association scheduled to appear in several local newspapers. We would also encourage all members to spread the word about the existence of the Association to anyone they come across who is a former pupil of the school. A network of Year Representative has now been established, again with the brief to do anything they can to foster enthusiasm for our Association. I am very grateful to the following for volunteering to help: pre 1940 tW. Leslie Smith, (1930 -34) 152 Haslingden Old Road Rawtenstall BB48RS 1941 - 50 tW.

In AprilMartin Hodson and Anthony Black co-ordinated a year re-union for those who joined the school in 1966: his report on a very well attended and successful event is included in this Newsletter. Does anyone else have similar plans? 1995 has also seen two other developments. M-. Clark and MissMacleroy have done stirling work in cataloguing all the artefacts and memorabilia which is in possession of the school. An example of a service which we are now able to provide comes later in this edition. However, we continue to search for any old photographs, magazines, exercise books or material relating to the school. After our last appeal one member was even able to provide us with a 78 r.p.m. recording of M-. Holder's last assembly in 1948. Rnally the Executive Committee of the Association has met and the B.R.G.S.Association held its first formal AGM in June. The main theme of my brief address at the AGM was that the Association now needs to assume a life of its own. There is an urgent need for the Association to have its own membership Secretary; Social Secretary and Treasurer - please let me know if you are interested in helping. I hope you enjoy reading edition number two of the Associate Newsletter - your contribution for future editions are most welcome. Best wishes ~~~ TREVORJ. ELKINGTON LEAVERS1995 A.

INTERVIEWWITHNYREEBALLS(1987-94) For many students the idea of taking a 'year out' or gap year between school and university is becoming increasingly attractive. This year can provide a breathing space to clarify future career ideas and an opportunity to earn some money before going to university-increasingly essential in an era of frozen grants and student loans. As a language student Nyree Balls (1987 - 94) decided to follow up an Au Pair placement in Perpignan in southern France to improve her linguistic skillsbefore accepting a place on a Leisure and Tourism course at Devon College for September/October 1995. The year proved an Immensely challenging one which left Nyree a much changed person. After replying to an advertisement in 'Lady' magazine Nyree found herself responsible for three boys aged ten, nine and six - quite simply "three of the most detestable children in the world!" A lifestyleof cooking, cleaning, ironing and child-minding with few friends and no T.V.hardly provided a perfect year out. However, Nyree philosophically re-counted that the experience "made her grow out of being a child dependent on others, to someone who can make friends easily and has developed a new found self-confidence." The night life of Perpignan and nearby Canet provided some compensation for the restrictions imposed by the strict Cata/an environment in which Nyree lived. She concluded, "itreally isthe very best way to improve your language skillsand I now feel a totally different person, much more ready to make the most of higher education. In some ways I'm glad to be back in Rossendale, but it does seem very quiet by comparison!" Nyree at the 1994 SixthForm Leavers Meal before her year in France. --- Geography student's £1,000 .'merey' trail to Ta. nza.nia-~~n.....

    MPCP(20)19 Annex S Church Commissioners Mission, Pastoral and Church Property Committee Closed Church of Crawshawbooth St John (Diocese of Manchester) Representations against draft Pastoral (Church Buildings Disposal) Scheme Supplementary Views of the Representors and Correspondence with the Bishop Further Views of the Representors Our correspondence with the Bishop was sent to all those who made representations about this draft scheme and we have received further comments from Keith Ingley, Caroline Hudson, Sarah Shepherd, and Mr and Mrs Allison against the draft scheme and from Mr Thompson in favour of the draft scheme, these are attached as Appendix I . We also received a further representation out of time which is attached for information. Representations Against Mr Ingley responds with some detail and attached correspondence to questions about the land ownership and the claim by him concerning damages and the repair to the churchyard wall and adjacent land. Caroline Hudson, in a series of e-mails, reiterates her concerns about the proposals. She writes that she cannot say strongly enough how shocking it is that the Church is even considering this sale and argues that this has the potential to be a PR disaster for the Church and that the Church will quite rightly be questioned as to what attention they paid to the concerns of residents and the due diligence process. Having spoken with the prospective purchaser she also writes that the purpose of the building is not decided. The Ministry of Defence may not grant the plans and even if they do the people housed will be a mix of ex-military and others who have fallen on hard times.

  • Crawshawbooth St John Combined Paper
    MPCP(20)19 Church Commissioners Mission, Pastoral and Church Property Committee Closed Church of Crawshawbooth St John (Diocese of Manchester) Representations against draft Pastoral (Church Buildings Disposal) Scheme Note by Harvey Howlett Summary (i) The Committee is invited to consider six representations concerning a draft Pastoral (Church Buildings Disposal) Scheme (four against, one in favour and a letter of comment) providing for the sale of the closed church building of Crawshawbooth St John and the annexed land in the Diocese of Manchester for residential use and for purposes ancillary thereto. The specific proposal is to provide residential accommodation for ex-armed forces personnel. (ii) The representors against objected to the proposed plans due to concerns about the impact of the proposed development on this small village, the overlooking of neighbouring properties and the specific implications of housing ex-services personnel and the likely impact on the village as a whole. In addition, one representor objected to the proposals whilst an ongoing dispute with the Diocese remained unresolved. (iii) The representor in favour, whilst looking to see more detailed plans, supported the use as an extremely positive development that would not only save and restore an important and historic building but also benefit the local community. (iv) The letter of comment, from the nearest neighbour to the churchyard, whilst not objecting to the Scheme raised questions about the proposed design and the impact on their own property. (v) The Bishop of Manchester responded to say that the Diocese wishes for the Scheme to proceed as drafted. He referred to the very difficult search for an alternative use for the building and argued that this may be the final opportunity to save this important heritage asset.

  • Crawshawbooth Friends' Meeting House
    CRAWSHAWBOOTH FRIENDS’ MEETING HOUSE (Transcript of an unsigned and undated document. Picture in Rawtenstall Museum). Crawshawbooth Meeting House stands hard by an old Pack-horse bridge over the little River Limy to which descent, right and left, two ancient moorland roads, the one from Haslingden and the other from Accrington. At the time the meeting house was built Crawshawbooth was a mere hamlet, a handful of houses occupied by people who were spinners and weavers in wool and farmers as well. For the most part their stock consisted of sheep, the wool from which they spun and carded and wove into cloth, the finished pieces being taken to the markets as Haslingden and Blackburn over the roads which climb up from the bridge to the heights above. Before there came to be a meeting house Friends in Rossendale held their meetings in their own houses. The Rossendale meeting was held in the house of Richard Ratcliffe, who was cited for having a conventicle in his house. At Halsingden Abraham Heyworth’s house was visited by ‘two bold informers’ while a meeting was being held, and James Ratcliffe, though he was not present at the meeting, was fined £20 for preaching there. Apparently there were quite a number of those meetings held in houses from one end of the Valley of Rossendale to the other. Quakerism is said to have been introduced to the district by William Dewsbury and Thomas Stubbs. Dewsbury was the first convert in Yorkshire make by George Fox and to the moment his life left him in 1688 he was amongst the most active of the early Friends.

  • Bacup and Rawtenstall Grammar School Admission Policy
    Reviewed: November 2020 Review period: Annual Bacup and Rawtenstall Grammar School Admission Policy ADMISSIONS POLICY Last reviewed: November 2020, for admission to school in September 2022. As an academy, the Academy Trust of Bacup & Rawtenstall Grammar School (BRGS) is the Admissions Authority. This admissions policy adheres to the requirements and guidelines of the Schools Admissions Code (2014). Our published admission number (PAN) is 180. As a designated Grammar School we are able to select our entire intake on the basis of high academic ability. As such, we do not have to fill all of our places if applicants have not reached the required standard within our selection procedure. The selection procedure is the entrance examination, held on site at the school. Passing the entrance examination is not a guarantee of a place due to the application of our over subscription criteria. Any pupil in his or her last year of primary school and who will have reached the age of 11 years (but not 12 years) by the 31st of August in the year of entry, is eligible to sit. Where a child does not meet these age criteria but there is a request for admission out of the normal age group parents should contact school directly to discuss the particular circumstances (School Admissions Code 2014, section 2.17). The structure of the entrance examination will be published in our entrance examination guide to parents (“The Blue Book”) by the beginning of the summer term each year. The admissions authority determines that Bacup and Rawtenstall Grammar School is established primarily for the education of children attending Rossendale schools.

  • Crawshawbooth LM
    Friends Meeting House, Crawshawbooth 13 Co-operation Street, Crawshawbooth, Rossendale, BB4 8AG National Grid Reference: SD 81079 25366 Statement of Significance The building has high heritage significance as a purpose-built meeting house which assumed its present form before the middle of the eighteenth century. It incorporates an unusually complete range of features, including a former stable and retains early or original fixtures and fittings. The building stands in its original context within a burial ground. Evidential value The meeting house is an eighteenth century building of at least three phases, illustrating incremental growth. This is evidence for the character of Quaker organisation, resources and worship. There is potential for refining knowledge of the site and the community it relates to with further research and analysis of the building and burials. The buildings and site have high evidential value. Historical value The history of local Friends started with a detached burial ground in a more remote location, continuing with acquisition of this site in 1715, within a village setting; this illustrates the confidence of the meeting and its ability to manage resources. Incremental building is evidence of gradual development typical of Nonconformist groups. Historical value also resides in the range of eighteenth century building elements, the presence of an interior with historic internal layout and fixtures, and burial records. The building has high historical value. Aesthetic value The building is typical of early eighteenth century meeting houses and is constructed with features and materials reflecting local vernacular building traditions. The site is a valuable part of the local scene. The immediate setting with a walled burial ground around the building contributes to the high aesthetic value of the building and the site.

  • Stubbylee Hall
    Stubbylee Hall Situated just off New Line, Bacup, Stubbylee was the home of the Holt family built around 1808. The Holt estate originally covered the all the South side of the River Irwell from Cowpe across Brandwood Moor to Shawforth and then Sharneyford. John Holt was the only child of James Holt and his second wife Ann daughter of John Heyworth of Greensnook. John married Judith Maden daughter of James Maden of Greens, on 25th June 1828. John became the second Magistrate of Bacup in 1838 and was one of the Poor Law Guardians. As such he became a target for the hand loom weavers anger in 1843, on a dark February night a friend approaching Stubbylee through the extensive grounds and thick shrubberies surrounding the house was shot at. The would be assassin was never found even though the Chief Constable of Preston offered a reward of £200 for information leading to the arrest. Judith was suffering from influenza at the time and it is thought the shock of this incident helped to shorten her life and she died in March 1843. Followed six months later by Julia , Judith and Johns eldest daughter who died of Typhoid at the age of twelve. John died in 26 December 1856, leaving two children James Maden Holt born in 1829 and Emily Sarah Holt born in 1836. James Maden Holt became a J.P in April of 1858 and became the first Bacup-born local MP when the North East Lancashire constituency was formed. His wife Anna whom he married in 1870 was the daughter of the Rev James Haworth of Penistone, Yorkshire.
