  • The First 40 Years
    A HISTORY OF LANCASTER CIVIC SOCIETY THE FIRST 40 YEARS 1967 – 2007 By Malcolm B Taylor 2009 Serialization – part 7 Territorial Boundaries This may seem a superfluous title for an eponymous society, so a few words of explanation are thought necessary. The Society’s sometime reluctance to expand its interests beyond the city boundary has not prevented a more elastic approach when the situation demands it. Indeed it is not true that the Society has never been prepared to look beyond the City boundary. As early as 1971 the committee expressed a wish that the Society might be a pivotal player in the formation of amenity bodies in the surrounding districts. It was resolved to ask Sir Frank Pearson to address the Society on the issue, although there is no record that he did so. When the Society was formed, and, even before that for its predecessor, there would have been no reason to doubt that the then City boundary would also be the Society’s boundary. It was to be an urban society with urban values about an urban environment. However, such an obvious logic cannot entirely define the part of the city which over the years has dominated the Society’s attentions. This, in simple terms might be described as the city’s historic centre – comprising largely the present Conservation Areas. But the boundaries of this area must be more fluid than a simple local government boundary or the Civic Amenities Act. We may perhaps start to come to terms with definitions by mentioning some buildings of great importance to Lancaster both visually and strategically which have largely escaped the Society’s attentions.

  • A History of Lancaster and District Male Voice Choir
    A History of Lancaster and District Male Voice Choir From 1899 to 2013 this history is based on the writings of Roland Brooke and the first history contained in the original website (no longer operational). From 2013 it is the work of Dr Hugh Cutler sometime Chairman and subsequently Communications Officer and editor of the website. The Years 1899-1950 The only indication of the year of foundation is that 1899 is mentioned in an article in the Lancaster Guardian dated 13th November 1926 regarding the Golden Wedding Anniversary of Mr. & Mrs. R.T. Grosse. In this article it states that he was 'for many years the Conductor of the Lancaster Male Voice Choir which was formed at the end of 1899'. The Guardian in February 1904 reported that 'the Lancaster Male Voice Choir, a new organisation in the Borough, are to be congratulated on the success of their first public concert'. The content of the concert was extensive with many guest artistes including a well-known soprano at that time, Madame Sadler-Fogg. In the audience were many honoured guests, including Lord Ashton, Colonel Foster, and Sir Frederick Bridge. In his speech, the latter urged the Choir to 'persevere and stick together'. Records state that the Choir were 'at their zenith' in 1906! This first public concert became an annual event, at varying venues, and their Sixth Annual Concert was held in the Ashton Hall in what was then known as 'The New Town Hall' in Lancaster. This was the first-ever concert held in 'The New Town Hall', and what would R.T.

  • THE CHURCHES of LANCASTER -THEIR CONTRIBUTION to the LANDSCAPE by P
    Contrebis 2000 THE CHURCHES OF LANCASTER -THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO THE LANDSCAPE by P. Gedge A dominant image of Lancaster is of the parish church standing on the hill overlooking the town, alongside the castle - symbolising that union of church and state which characterised medieval Christendom. The Romans seem to have been the first to grasp the strategic importance of this site and constructed a fort c.80 AD. A small town developed below and Church Street still marks the line of the road from the east gate. Some time after the Roman empire collapsed Christians began worshipping in the fort area, as happened elsewhere such as York. Exactly when the first Christian church was built on Castle Hill is not clear. Some claim c630. Fragments of Anglian crosses and remains of a pre-Nornan church survive with a simple Saxon doorway in the west end of the existing church. So a stone church has held this commanding position in Lancaster's townscape for over a thousand years. In 1094 this church was given by Roger of Poitou, to the Abbey of St Martin of Seez and Benedictine monks from there founded a Priory with residential buildings. In 1428 this was transferred to the Convent of Sion in Middlesex and the church became the Parish Church of one of those large parishes typical of Lancashire. The present building which so dominates the skyline, is principally a fifteenth century rebuilding with a high tower rebuilt in 'Gothick' style in 1754. Only two other medieval ecclesiastical buildings are recorded in Lancaster as the town remained small.
