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. He believed that the proposals made compassionate provision for certain members of society who were currently disadvantaged and said that particular questions of access and impact on the local community would be fully tested in any application for planning Permission and Listed Building Consent. 1 (vi) The case has been examined by the Committee’s case sifting representatives who agreed that the case should be considered on the papers alone. (vii) In considering the representations, the Committee will need to have regard to the legislative requirement as to the suitability of what is being proposed. If the Committee considers the proposed use to be suitable in principle, it is still possible that it might be unsuitable in the particular circumstances of this building because of its location or other factors relating to achievability and the potential impact of the use. (viii) The main issues to be considered are therefore, as follows: • is the proposed residential use of the building a “suitable” use within the meaning of the Mission and Pastoral Measure 2011? • are the concerns expressed in the representation against the draft Scheme of such substance and weight that the proposed use is to be considered unsuitable for the building in this location? • will the proposals, taken as a whole, support the furtherance of the mission of the Church of England? Recommendation The Committee is invited to consider the representations and the issues set out in this report and, in the light of these, whether the draft Scheme should proceed. 2 Introduction 1. 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. 2. St John’s, a large and impressive Grade II* listed stone church in a Gothic Perpendicular style, was built in 1890-92, on a site donated by a local wealth business owner, to designs by H J Austin of Paley, Austin and Paley. It stands on a green and leafy steep hill raised above the Burnley Road (A682) to the south west of the small village of Crawshawbooth, a linear settlement extending along the A682 between Burnley and Rawtenstall on the edge of the Pennine Hills. In the nineteenth century the village had prospered in the industrial boom with wool and cotton mills along the river. St John’s lies just beyond an area identified as being at risk of flooding. A housing development sits to the North but farm and moor land extend beyond the immediate line of development either side of the A682. 3. When in leaf, trees obscure the church from the road, though its tower and pinnacles rise above the tree line. The building was known locally as the ‘Cathedral of the Valley’ in view of its considerable landscape presence and architectural quality. The extensive and lofty interior is well-lit, adding to the sense of space, with the nave arcades being carried on moulded arches which are supported on alternately round and octagonal columns. Above is an arch-braced double-collared timber roof structure. There is a Garden of Remembrance, for the interment of ashes, near the south-west wall of the church, as well as one burial in the private burial ground situated on the south-west side of the large churchyard. It is proposed that rights of access will be preserved for people wishing to visit these areas. 4. The church was closed for regular public worship in February 2012, following a decline in the size of the congregation and a failure to attract additional community uses for the building. Closure was also necessary because of the increasing costs of repair, with the deteriorating condition of the church made significantly worse by the theft of lead from the roof in 2011. 5. During a lengthy marketing campaign, the cost of repairing the building has impacted on the viability of various possible use proposals being explored. A draft scheme for use as a renewable energy training centre was published in February 2014 but was not taken forward. The building has been seen as a priority for the ‘Find a Use Manchester’ project1 looking to secure the future of a number of long- standing closed church buildings. The prospective purchasers emerged during the extended period of renewed marketing and are now developing their proposals for the building to be converted to provide accommodation for veterans and ex-armed 1 The Commissioners and Historic England are jointly funding a three year post, which sits in the Churches Conservation Trust’s Regeneration Team, focussed on securing a future for a number of problematic listed closed churches in the North West. 3 forces personnel. The proposed residential accommodation would make use of the existing vehicular and pedestrian access from Burnley Road. 6. The Commissioners’ former statutory advisor, the Advisory Board for Redundant Churches, indicated in its early advice that St John’s is a church of high overall significance and advised that it be preserved by conversion to a suitable alternative use (its large volume of interior space seen as offering some scope for alteration). 7. The conservation and re-use of this important heritage asset is also a priority for both Rossendale Borough Council and Historic England, in line with local and national planning policies. The building has been on Historic England’s Buildings at Risk Register for several years. 8. Attached are: Annex A Background to the case; Annex B The initial advice report on the building from the Advisory Board for Redundant Churches: the Critical Information Summary and Informed Change Assessment; Annex C A copy of the draft Scheme and site plan and accompanying Explanatory Note; Annex D A copy of the letter referring the representations to the Bishop together with a copy of his reply; Annex E A copy of the notes prepared by the prospective purchaser and circulated at the drop-in during the consultation period; Annex R A copy of the representations; and Annex S Supplementary comments by the representors (to follow). Representations Received 9. Following the publication of the draft Scheme providing for the sale of this closed church building and the annexed land for residential use and for purposes ancillary thereto, we received six representations (four against, one in favour and one letter of comment) regarding the draft Scheme. The Representations are set out in Annex R. 10. The representations against came from Mr T Harden, Sarah Shepherd, Caroline Hudson and Keith Ingley; the representation in favour came from Allen Thompson; and the letter of comment from Mrs Judith and Mr Kenneth Allison. Representations Against 11. Mr Harden and Sarah Shepherd both raise concerns about the suitability of the proposed use in the small village of Crawshawbooth which lacks many facilities, including medical support, and its remoteness in relation to employment opportunities. They are also concerned that there would not be any full time support staff on site and that some residents would potentially have psychological problems and be in need of specialist care. 4 12. Sarah Shepherd also raises particular concerns for her own and her child’s safety, given the proximity of her home to the church, which she indicates is in part overlooked by the church. She also refers to her previous experience of encountering some ex-service men within the prison system and raises concerns about the mental health and wellbeing of local residents and the impact this could have on the village. She also raises concern about the ex-servicemen themselves, including the treatment of any suffering with PTSD being removed to far flung locations. 13. Caroline Hudson raises similar concerns in a set of questions and lodges an objection to the scheme until adequate further information has been provided. 14.

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 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.

  • Drink and the Victorians
    DRINK AND THE VICTORIANS A HISTORY OF THE BRITISH TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT PAGING NOTE: Pamphlets, journals, and periodicals are paged using the number of the item on the list below, and the call number 71-03051. Books are cataloged individually – get author/title info below, and search SearchWorks for online record and call number. BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE This collection has been formed by the amalgamation of two smaller but important collections. The larger part, probably about three-quarters of the whole, was formed by William Hoyle of Claremont, Bury, near Manchester. The other part was formerly in the Joseph Livesey Library, Sheffield, and many of the pamphlets carry that library stamp. The catalogue has three main elements: pamphlets and tracts; books, including a section of contemporary biography; and newspapers, journals and conference reports. There are around 1400 separately published pamphlets and tracts but a series of tracts, or part of a series, has usually been catalogued as one item. The Hoyle collection of pamphlets, is bound in 24 volumes, mostly half black roan, many with his ownership stamp. All the pieces from the Joseph Livesey Library are disbound; so that any item described as "disbound" may be assumed to be from the Livesey collection and all the others, for which a volume and item number are given, from Hoyle's bound collection. INTRODUCTION By Brian Harrison Fellow and Tutor in Modern History and Politics, Corpus Christi College, Oxford. Anyone keen to understand the Victorians can hardly do better than devour Joseph Livesey's Staunch Teetotaler (458) or J.G. Shaw's Life of William Gregson.
