Stephen Skelton Garage P.38 Outdoor Market Letter from the Vicarage Church News & Local Events In May’s edition, I spoke of the empowering nature of forgiveness, but the counterpart to Bolton WI invite you to a talk on the Versatility of Herbs, courtesy of Helen’s that is the liberating nature of confession. St James tells us “confess your sins to one Herbs. This is an open meeting and will take place at Bolton another”, but admitting our mistakes is something we seem to find very difficult. We will Memorial Hall on Saturday 8th June at 7.15 pm all be able to point to someone we know who is stubborn, has an answer for everything, and who can never apologise. But how many of us would point to ourselves? Why do Thrimby coffee evening we find it so hard to admit we are wrong? For some, it may go very deep. If through 7.30pm on Wednesday 5th June 2019 at Low Hall, by kind invitation of childhood, or a long-standing relationship, we have been used to a culture of blame, the Liz McQuillen and Heather Gardener. All welcome. deflection of blame may have become a simple defence mechanism. If so, we are only going to learn new behaviours by discovering a different quality of relationship and Brownies meet during term time on Wednesdays in Morland Village Hall allowing that to become normal for us. For others, it may be part of a success- 6-7.30pm worshipping outcomes-driven society, where we are judged by our success and often that judgment can be quite superficial. The incentive is to cover up our failures, excuse JAM dates them or blame them on others. Covering up our mistakes is, though, deeply unhealthy.

  • Westmoreland in the Late Seventeenth Century by Colin Phillips
    WESTMORLAND ABOUT 1670 BY COLIN PHILLIPS Topography and climate This volume prints four documents relating to the hearth tax in Westmorland1. It is important to set these documents in their geographical context. Westmorland, until 1974 was one of England’s ancient counties when it became part of Cumbria. The boundaries are shown on map 1.2 Celia Fiennes’s view in 1698 of ‘…Rich land in the bottoms, as one may call them considering the vast hills above them on all sides…’ was more positive than that of Daniel Defoe who, in 1724, considered Westmorland ‘A country eminent only for being the wildest, most barren and frightful of any that I have passed over in England, or even Wales it self. ’ It was a county of stark topographical contrasts, fringed by long and deep waters of the Lake District, bisected by mountains with high and wild fells. Communications were difficult: Helvellyn, Harter Fell, Shap Fell and the Langdale Fells prevented easy cross-county movement, although there were in the seventeenth century three routes identified with Kirkstone, Shap, and Grayrigg.3 Yet there were more fertile lowland areas and 1 TNA, Exchequer, lay subsidy rolls, E179/195/73, compiled for the Michaelmas 1670 collection, and including Kendal borough.

  • Claiborne Society Newsletter Page 1
    Fall 2020 Message from the Publications Chairman Patricia Clayborn We are hoping all our cousins and their extended families stay healthy and in good spirits in these unprecedented times. The article in our last issue, from Claiborne Perrilliat of New Orleans on his ancestor Governor W.C.C. Claiborne, has inspired some observations from members for this issue. As a result of that article, Thomas Wixon took a special trip with his son to the Governor’s tomb and carefully documented the inscriptions so that we could have a detailed record. Elizabeth Richardson was inspired by the article to send us a Claiborne family tree she received from Charles Matthews tracing the descendants of Gov. Claiborne down seven generations, along with a copy of the Governor’s commission from President Thomas Jefferson appointing him governor of the Louisiana Territory in 1803, and a 1964 newspaper article about the Governor. We are thankful that we can be a repository for all this wonderful information. In a similar vein, I have listed all the Cleburne Family of Cliburn Hall christening, marriage, and burial records from the middle ages that I can find, in the hope that they might prove useful to some future researcher. I also did some research on the Romancoke Plantation and on Adam le Franceys of Cliburn. Finally, we have recommended two scholarly lectures on Major General Patrick Ronayne Cleburne (1828-1864). It is time for our annual membership renewal, so I have included a dues payment form in this newsletter. As River Leith with St. Cuthbert’s Church, Cliburn, in the distance always, please feel welcome to send your family stories for future newsletter publications.
