  • Mormon Baptismal Site in Chatburn, England
    Carol Wilkinson: Baptismal Site in Chatburn, England 83 Mormon Baptismal Site in Chatburn, England Carol Wilkinson The location of a baptismal site in the village of Chatburn, England, used by Mormon missionaries in the 1830s and 1840s has been identified. This village, along with the neighboring community of Downham, was the location of a large number of Mormon conversions when the message of the restored gospel was first preached to the inhabitants during this time period. The first Mormon missionaries to England arrived in Liverpool in July 1837. These seven men (Heber C. Kimball, Orson Hyde, Willard Richards, Joseph Fielding, Isaac Russell, John Goodson, and John Snyder), quickly moved to Preston where they were successful in receiving converts and orga- nized a branch of the Church in that city. After organizing the Preston Branch they decided to separate and carry their message to other parts of the surround- ing country. Heber C. Kimball, Orson Hyde, and Joseph Fielding stayed in the Preston area and continued to proselytize and organize branches. Kimball and Fielding also began to venture into the upper reaches of the river Ribble Val- ley, teaching in Walkerford and Ribchester, where they experienced further success and organized additional branches of the Church.1 Further upstream from these villages lay the small communities of Chat- burn and Downham, just south of the river Ribble and north of towering Pen- dle Hill. Some of the most spiritual experiences of the missionary effort in the upper Ribble Valley occurred in these two villages. When Heber expressed a desire to visit the villages he noted receiving a negative response from some of his companions: “Having mentioned my determination of going to Chat- burn to several of my brethren, they endeavored to dissuade me from going, CAROL WILKINSON ([email protected]) is an Associate Professor in the Department of Exercise Sciences, Brigham Young University, and an adjunct faculty member in the Department of Church History and Doctrine, BYU.

  • Ribble Valley Settlement Hierarchy
    RIBBLE VALLEY SETTLEMENT HIERARCHY Executive Summary Observations The summary below is derived from the more detailed analyses of the contextual and demographic data set out in Appendix 1 and the local services and facilities data described in Appendix 2. • Clitheroe stands out as the most significant settlement within the Borough, with the best provision of services and facilities • The next two settlements, Longridge and Whalley also stand out from all other settlements in terms of provision across all the various service and facilities categories. While Whalley is smaller than some other settlements, such as Langho and Wilpshire, they have significantly poorer service and facility provision. In Wilpshire’s case this could be due to the services in the area falling into adjacent parts of Blackburn. • Eleven settlements clustered towards the bottom of the hierarchy all scored poorly across nearly all categories. These are: Osbaldeston, Tosside, Copster Green, Pendleton, Sawley, Calderstones, Newton, Wiswell, Rimington, Worston and Holden. Only in terms of community facilities did a few of this group, Pendleton, Newton and Rimington, have good or reasonable provision. This leaves 21 remaining settlements within the hierarchy with a spectrum of provision between these two extremes. There are no significant “step changes” within this group, however those towards the top of this group, scoring 20 and above points were considered the initially most likely to possibly act as more local centres. It could be argued that this 20 point limit is somewhat arbitrary however. • This group contains: Langho, Mellor, Chatburn, Ribchester, Waddington, Dunsop Bridge and Sabden. Most of this group, perhaps unsurpringly, have relatively large populations of over 1000, with only Waddington and Dunsop Bridge being smaller.

  • The Minor Roman Stations of Lancashire; Also the Camps and Miscellaneous Discoveries in the County
    THE MINOR ROMAN STATIONS OF LANCASHIRE; ALSO THE CAMPS AND MISCELLANEOUS DISCOVERIES IN THE COUNTY. By W. Thompson IVatkin, Esq. (Read 22nd January, 1880.) N three previous papers, I have had the pleasure of laying I before the Society all the information that former authors have bequeathed to us concerning the larger Roman stations of the county, Lancaster, Ribchester, and Manchester, with com­ ments upon their statements, and additional notes regarding such discoveries as have been made in recent years. In the present paper I propose to treat of the minor castra erected and held by the Roman forces during the three and a half centuries of their occupation of Lancashire and of Britain. The most noted of these is at Overburrow, only just inside the county, being about two miles south of Kirkby-Lonsdale in Westmoreland. From the fact of its distance from Ribchester, now identified with Bremetonacae, on the one side, and from the Roman station at Borrowbridge (Alio or Alionis) on the other, it is now generally admitted to be the Galacum of the Tenth Iter of Antoninus and the Galatum of Ptolemy; which seems con­ firmed by the name of the small river (the Lac) at whose junction with the Lone it is situated. As the site of this station is now the ground upon which a mansion stands, with large grounds attached, it has completely disappeared from above ground, though doubtless many remains are still buried beneath the surface of the lawn and gardens. We have therefore only the testimony of earlier writers to rely upon.
