  • The Original 1949 Cover
    The original 1949 cover 1 This excellent and detailed history of the former parish of St Mary of the Assumption, Burnley (now part of the Parish of the Good Samaritan) was written by Margaret Durkin and originally published in small booklet form to mark the first centenary of St Mary’s church in 1949. The website author has endeavoured to reproduce Mrs Durkin’s work as accurately as he can, and as far as possible as it appeared in the original booklet, but acknowledges that any errors or omissions (hopefully none!) are his. With grateful thanks to John Durkin, eldest son of the author for kind permission to publish on this website, thus ensuring that a wider audience will benefit from Margaret Durkin’s treatise in future. 2 CHAPTER I. THE BURNLEY WOOD CHAPEL. Until the Reformation, all the people of Burnley were professed Catholics and the Parish Church of St. Peter was the centre of the religious life of the town. At the church, people met on Sundays and Feast Days to hear Mass; on every day of the week the offices of the Sacred Liturgy were performed by the priests, and, in the chantry chapels,1 Masses were offered up for the repose of the souls of the founders of the chantry and of their families. It was in 1534 that, for those who wished to remain Catholics, the conflict began between loyalty to the Sovereign and fidelity to religious beliefs. All the priests in Burnley took the oath of allegiance to Henry VIII as "Supreme Head of the Church" and the majority of laymen accepted the new system.

A man equally as energetic in his retirement as in his working life, his friendship, wisdom and commitment will be missed by many in the school community who remember his time at the School, many of whom he was still in touch with, maintaining his interest in their lives and news. Mervyn contributed enormously to both the success of the School at that time and, through developments he initiated, its success today. He was drawn to and nurtured the community feel of the School; he found a group of colleagues to work with, who were enthused about their subjects and about the development of the boys; he revelled in the rich extra-curricular programme, which he felt so important to the wider purpose of the School; two aspects of that were his particular passion: Patterdale Hall and Cricket. Patterdale reignited in him a love of walking, which then led to many of his adventurous treks in retirement. A notably able cricketer himself, Mervyn established the groundwork that rekindled the national 2 profile of Cricket at the School.

    Cb~ Bacup~ Rawt~nstall GrammarScboolJournal. VOL.2. JANUARY,1930. No.4. tHE School Journal, on beginning' its fourth year of life, can now be considered firmly established. Its features are well marked without being too stereotyped. It is not by any means above criticism, and its limitations are recognised. It aims at being a record of School activities, mostly those outside the class- room. It is neither" Tit-Bits" nor" The Rag-Rag." It aims at answering the question" What did happen at School in 1930 besides lessons? " We believe that this in the long run will serve a more useful purpose than devoting many of our pages to original detective stories, facetious comments, conundrums, puzzles, and the like. Last Speech Day witnessed an innovation. Formerly, we believe, we tried to do too much in the short time between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m :-speeches, prize distribution, votes of thanks, concert. "Crush and rush" might almost have been taken as the motto, . crush' for space and' rush' for time. Under the circumstances the arrangements have worked admirably and to the general enjoyment. But to avoid disabilities Speech Day has been divided into two parts, Speech Day proper, held in the School Hall on Monday, November 18th, and Concert to be held in the School Hall on Saturday, February 8th. By using the School Hall, there is a certain elasticity in arranging the date and the day of the week, so that there is a greater facility in accom- modating busy and illustrious persons who come to distribute the prizes.

The Theatres Trust, with partners in the local community, commissioned a study to determine if there might be a viable future use for the Burnley Empire in the context of its imminent potential sale by auction. The Empire is an important Grade II listed theatre on the Theatre Buildings at Risk register and has been disused since 1995. Burnley Empire Stakeholder Group includes the community group Burnley Empire Theatre Trust (BETT), Burnley College, Burnley Borough Council, Burnley and District Civic Trust, The Theatres Trust and the University of Central Lancashire. 1.2. Bonnar Keenlyside (BK) and Theatresearch are leading consultants in the redevelopment of theatres and were commissioned to undertake the study in autumn 2016. The study considered what the options might be for the future use of the Empire in the context of the available market, operating context and economic issues. Key considerations include the significant costs which would be incurred to restore the building and the associated restrictions of its listed status.
