They are also a focal point for a community and now almost 100 years and possibly 60 years later they are still revered by families and relatives.
Although this blog is meant to be primarily a source of information, let us not forget those brave people who put their lives on the line and stood and were counted - if only by chance at times.We salute you!Jol Martyn-Clarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11321877774731685086noreply@blogger.comBlogger115125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881044994079470434.post-34550615605560112842014-07-29T14:56:00.000-07:002014-07-29T14:56:01.020-07:00Whalley - By the old Grammar School<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

Whalley - part of the Pilgrims way. allegedly this was a destination from Pilgrims Cross. Possibly a central point of commerce. Packways certainly came this way.<br />

I will return, the light was failing and I knew where the memorial was.<br />

However a tasteful location well looked after and certainly a good place for contemplation... even if traffic is quite heavy. Fortunately the A59 will take traffic away. <br />

Situated about halfway between Preston and Bolton, Belmont nestles in
the lee of Winter Hill. In my motorbike days, we used to ride out to
Belmont - there was a crackin' café there. Not as busy now the motorway
takes care of some of the traffic. It was the quickest but not the
shortest between Blackpool and Bury, and is still the road of choice. It
wasn't until I used the Rivington Pike road a while ago that I realised
there was a memorial there. <br />

Between Tottington and Affteside is Four Lane ends. It sits at the junction of Bradshaw road and Harwood road. Tiny community, just a handful of cottages. I recall forty something years ago driving a Landrover with my Grandma Jane up to these cottages on a Christmas morning, in the snow, to take a Christmas dinner to the old people - Meals on Wheels. Now with a big grip on my family history this church stirs some distant memories. Some of the engraved names are distant relatives or relatives of relatives. The two stone inscriptions are important too. They represent that even a tiny community such as this sent their menfolk to war. <br />
<br />
There are two inscriptions to the right of the left window below:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
"IN HONOUR OF ALL</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
WHO SERVED IN THE WORLD WAR</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1939- 1945"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"IN HONOUR OF THE LADS</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
WHO SERVED IN THE GREAT WAR</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1914 -1918"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am not sure that these inscriptions are in the IWM Database.</div>

It is clear that the names on the walls are families that used the church, how or why they had their names engraved is not clear <br />

The path continues down to the main road between Belmont and Bolton. I will post the other pictures soon. Suspect that George Henderson will have used this track frequently to travel to Belmont. See below.<br />

<h3>
Scotsman's Stump</h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This information has been taken from <a href="http://www.horwich.gov.uk/landmarks.php" target="_blank">Horwich Town Council Website</a>: Although the photo is mine.</div>
<span style="background-color: #fce5cd;">Scotsman's Stump lies just inside the Horwich Boundary, close to the
summit of Winter Hill. It marks the spot where a young Scotsman was
murdered on 9 November 1838. George Henderson was a 20 year old native
of Annan in Dumfrieshire and he worked for a Blackburn draper as a
travelling salesman.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fce5cd;">
</span><span style="background-color: #fce5cd;">He often walked across the moors to settle financial matters with his
employer. On the fateful day, an autumnal mist enshrouded the hills as
Henderson set out on his last earthly journey.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fce5cd;">
</span><span style="background-color: #fce5cd;">
He called into a local hostelry at around twelve noon for sustenance before embarking on the trek over the hill.</span><br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: #fce5cd;">The Scotchman's Stump</span></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<span style="background-color: #fce5cd;">Shortly after he had left the inn, a young boy saw blood on the road
and heard somebody desperately crying for help from a ditch.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fce5cd;">
</span><span style="background-color: #fce5cd;">The boy fetched help, and Henderson was found horribly disfigured by gunshot wounds.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fce5cd;">
</span><span style="background-color: #fce5cd;">Despite attempts to revive him, George Henderson died at 2.00pm that
same day. It is reported that his last words were "I am robbed, I am
killed". Much evidence pointed to the identity of the murderer as James
Whittle, a 22 year old man who lived close to the inn where Henderson
had taken his last sojourn, and who had bought a shotgun the previous
day.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fce5cd;">
</span><span style="background-color: #fce5cd;">So strong was the evidence that Whittle was charged with Henderson's
murder and stood trial at Liverpool Crown Court. The main prosecution
witness, a Joseph Halliwell of Bolton, became increasingly less reliable
as his testimony proceeded, and it took the jury less than an hour and a
half to acquit Whittle.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fce5cd;">
</span><span style="background-color: #fce5cd;">Nobody else was charged with the murder. Shortly after George
Henderson's murder, a tree was planted to mark the place of his demise.
In 1912, a cast iron pillar was bought by public subscription to replace
the tree, and it stands there to this day, Scotsman's Stump, a memorial
to the young victim of a murder most foul.</span><br />

<div class="center" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="center" style="text-align: left;">
A heading in the ‘Bolton Chronicle’ on Saturday, 10 November 1838 stated: Horrible murder at Belmont<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #fce5cd;">George Henderson, a young Scottish packman was employed as a traveller
by a Mr John Blackburn. He moved around the neighbourhood taking
orders; selling, delivering, and collecting payment. He visited
Blackburn regularly to report to his employers.<br />
<br />
On Thursday 8 November he stayed at the ‘Old Cock Inn’, Blackrod, a
village on the turnpike road, from Manchester to Preston. An old track
from Blackrod led down to Anderton Hall, Horwich then across to the
Rivington Pike road, near Winter Hill and joining the regular old
packhorse route to Blackburn by way of Belmont, a moorland village on
the Bolton to Preston road.<br />
<br />
Henderson left Blackrod about 8.0 am on the Friday morning but he never
arrived in Blackburn. He was found at 13.45 pm lying near the summit of
Winter Hill, by the road descending to Belmont. He had been shot
through the head and he died at 2.30 pm in a nearby cottage. The motive
was presumed to be robbery and as a result of the evidence, a local man
James Whittle, was arrested. Following the inquest he was sent for
trial - and acquitted, the murder remaining unsolved - at the Lancashire
Assizes at Liverpool in 1839. By the T.V. mast on Winter Hill, a
memorial known as Scotsman’s Stump was erected, to mark the spot where
George Henderson was shot. It bears the following inscription:-<br />
<br />
“To the memory of George Henderson, traveller, native of Annan,
Dumfries-shire, who was brutally murdered on Rivington Moor at Noonday,
November 9th 1838 in the 20th year of his age.</span><br />

This mini estate was built in 1950. I have driven and cycled past so many times! I didn't know there was an inscription on the wall until it was pointed out to me! This at the junction of Church road and Smithy lane<br />
Here are the photos and a transcription of the inscription.<br />

Grasmere is a pretty village in the Lake District, It is always busy. Most come for the sights, Dove Cottage and the Wordsworth connections. Many including me come for the hills. However St Oswald's church is ancient and the memorial some way from the church is fine little memorial well cared for by the community and slightly out of the way of the visitor. I took these pictures on two visits a year apart. The first pictures are of the memorial.<br />

Thornton-le-Dale can trace its history back to Neolithic times. A brief history can be found <a href="http://www.visitthorntonledale.co.uk/visitors/village-history" target="_blank">here</a>. But it is a village that does appear to have a timelessness about it. We stayed at a local campsite and visited the village to sightsee. The memorial to the fallen is placed as a tablet on the local institute. It seems more of a statement rather than a place to reflect on past lives.<br />

Waddington is indeed a pretty village and deserves to be visited just for that reason.<br />
However I knew that there was a memorial there. These are the photos and the inscriptions. Waddington Hall has an interesting history. This is not to be confused with the village of Waddington in Lincolnshire which I am sure is just as lovely.<br />

M.A., writes:</span></div>
<span style="background-color: #f9cb9c;">
</span><div style="background-color: #f9cb9c;">
"The Waddingtons are a very ancient family, and trace their ancestry to
a period prior to the Norman Conquest, to even Saxon times. The name itself is
territorial, and signifies the town (ton) of the children (ing) of
Wada, and may be traced in such places as Wad-how, Wadsworth, Paddington, and,
strange as it may seem, in Padiham, the abode of Wada, since Pada and Wada were
only variations of the same word.</div>
<span style="background-color: #f9cb9c;">
</span><div style="background-color: #f9cb9c;">
Their possessions extended over a large part of Yorkshire and Lancashire.</div>
<span style="background-color: #f9cb9c;">
</span><div style="background-color: #f9cb9c;">
The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, sub anno 798, records a great fight at Whalley
during Lent, in which, according to Simeon of Durham, Wada Dux was put to flight
by King Eardulfus. Some tumuli near Hacking Ferry attest this battle. One of
them has been excavated, and a model of it is now to be seen in the museum of
Stonyhurst College."</div>

In the year 798 a conspiracy was made by the men who had slain King Ethelred,
in which conspiracy Duke Wada joined, and the conspirators fought a battle with
King Eardulf in a place called by the Angles Billingahoth, by Walalege. A very
great number were killed on both sides, Duke Wada and his side were put to
flight, and Eardulf the King obtained a victory in kingly fashion over his
enemies.</div>

Had two nights in the ancient camper in Burton-in-Lonsdale and it's a beautiful little village. It has a church, a pub, an amazing (and only local shop - try the cakes!) a castle (sort of!), a river, and some fabulous views. Touted as the last village in Yorkshire, it is indeed very close to "the border" with Lancashire.<br />

The weather was fine when I walked into the village. Soon found All Saints Church and the memorial outside, fortunately a member of the church was inside and he told me lots of interesting stuff about the village and the church’s origins. Had it not been for him I would not have found the sole war grave in the cemetery. I am indebted to you!<br />

DUKE OF WELLINGTON'S REGT.<br />
29TH JUNE 1916</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
He was the son of John and Margaret Young; husband of Margaret Ball (formerly Young), of 21, Fernley Rd., Birkdale, Southport. He was a member of the Duke of Wellington's Regiment (West Riding) 2nd/6th Battalion. He was 30 when he died.<br />
<br />
According to Ancestry John Young died at home. Whether he was stationed locally I do not know. The 2nd/6th was<b> </b>formed at Skipton in Craven
in September 1914 as a home service ("second line") unit. This unit was considered a member of the Territorial force. It seems unlikely that this soldier had ever gone abroad to fight.<br />
<br />
The extract below is from the Duke of Wellington Regiment Website" <br />
<br />
"1 March 1915 : came under orders of 186th Brigade in 62nd (2nd West Riding) Division. Moved to Thoresby Park (Ollerton) in May
1915. Moved in October 1915 to Retford, November 1915 to Newcastle, January
1916 to Salisbury Plain, June 1916 Halesworth, October 1916 to Bedford.<br />
Landed in France in January 1917."</div>

A flying visit to a distant uncle and I couldn't miss the opportunity to photograph the memorial. I also visited St Mary's the church and walked through the town centre, parking was a nightmare, so I parked quite a way outside the centre and walked. There is an official history of the town <a href="http://www.marketdrayton.gov.uk/Contents/Text/Index.asp?SiteId=788&SiteExtra=18930835&TopNavId=762&NavSideId=10804" target="_blank">here</a>.

I have a tenuous link with Market Drayton in so much as Robert Clive was born here. He moved to Manchester and he and I both went to the same school (Stand Grammar School). He got expelled, so the story goes by throwing slates of the school roof! I didn't.... Oh we didn't meet.... but I was in Clive house - There is a Hogwarts touch about this post.<br />
<br />
There is more information about this memorial at the <b>War Memorials Inventory no 13855</b><br />

This post is dedicated to Alan.

I visited Fleetwood Memorial Park at the same time as I visited the other sites in Fleetwood.

Lots of links and little substance. This memorial has been well researched but I am sure the names have never been published. The Imperial War Museum reference is <a href="http://www.ukniwm.org.uk/server/show/conMemorial.42700/fromUkniwmSearch/1" target="_blank">42700</a> I do believe the park is going to be revived and have some restoration work done. Time for a revisit when that happens.<br />

I suppose Broughton is best known as the roundabout under the join of the M6, the M55 and the A6. It is a couple of miles north of Preston on the A6 and is on the way to Garstang and then Lancaster. Set in agricultural land, Broughton was the start to the Preston Guild walk around the perimeter of Preston.<br />
<br />The memorial itself is maybe half a mile south of the village. When it was built I suspect the road was considerably quieter and there was no M6 at the time. The A6 was one of only 2 roads that joined the north of the UK to the south. The A1 was the other. I feel that it may have been built in two halves. Frequently of course the Second World War memorials were added to the first World War memorials.<br />

This memorial is slightly out of character. It is situated away from the town and although there have clearly been recent visitors, it is not a place where a remembrance ceremony could be performed. Broughton is a pleasant place and this would not be out of place there.<br />
As always welcome comments and links. The photos are copy-write free.<br />
The memorial is no 3340 on the War Memorial Archive. There are also Photos there thanks to Mike Coyle.<br />

I guess I knew of this memorial long before I photographed it. It stand on the corner of Church road in Whitefield. The memorial is in the same grounds as Stand church which was opposite to Stand Grammar School the school I was carted off to in the mid '60's. High repute - not sure it did me any good. We had to run past this memorial at least twice a week on our cross country runs which WERE a good part of school.<br />
<br />
The names of the fallen are on a <a href="http://jol-datastore.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/whitefield-memorial.html" target="_blank">datastore page - you can find it here</a>. This was my second attempt to photograph this memorial. The light was going, Winter...<br />
<br />
The two pictures are stitched panoramas.<br />

On the 9 December 1886 the <i>Mexico</i>, a Hamburg-registered barque bound for Guayaquil from Liverpool went aground near Southport, in a full west north westerly gale. Three lifeboats set out, one from Southport and one from St Annes and one from Lytham. In all 27 lifeboat men were lost. The web has much <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southport_and_St_Anne%27s_lifeboats_disaster" target="_blank">published</a> material and I do not propose to copy and paste onto this page. However there are at least five memorials erected to the disaster. This first memorial is in Duke Street Cemetery in Southport. A large community cemetery it also has a war memorial.<br />
There is a memorial on the sea front of Southport too. There are three memorials in Lytham St. Annes. As I have said somewhere before, a friend is a direct descendent of one of the crew from that St Annes Lifeboat.<br />
<br />
These are the pictures of the Southport Duke Street memorial:<br />

<span style="background-color: #f9cb9c;">This article was published in the Southport visitor in 2008:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #f9cb9c;">Devout Methodist, John Fernley, made his mark on Southport</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f9cb9c;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f9cb9c;">Aug 22 2008 by Robert Alcock, Southport Visitor </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f9cb9c;">DEVOUT Methodist John Fernley – one of Southport’s great benefactors – built the Old School House in 1864 for £4,000.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f9cb9c;">It was one of three houses, along with the adjoining Trinity Chapel, that Fernley built that year but is the only one still to stand.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f9cb9c;">The 1944 Education Act meant that Trinity Hall ceased to be a day school, its pupils left and only the Sunday School continued.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f9cb9c;">In 1962 the Old School House was put into the private sector for £1,950, while all the other parts of the great complex built by Fernley were demolished in 1981.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f9cb9c;">Fernley, a man of wealth, left a string of other significant marks on Southport.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f9cb9c;">It was he who constructed the meteorological observatory in Hesketh Park, which has now been refurbished.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f9cb9c;">Fernley was also a committee member of the RNLI and donated the Eliza Fernley lifeboat (named in honour of his late wife) to the town.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f9cb9c;">The boat would later be lost with nearly all its crew in the great Mexico Disaster of 1886.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f9cb9c;">Born in Stockport in 1796, Fernley dedicated his life to spreading the principles of Wesleyan Methodism and moved with Eliza to Southport in 1856.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f9cb9c;">Upon Fernley’s death in 1873, the Reverend W B Pope wrote in memorial: “Mr Fernley was as resolute and tenacious carrying out his plans as he was large minded in framing them.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f9cb9c;">“Nothing ever turned him aside from a single project that he had well considered and finally determined on.”</span><br />

I visited this church on my way to Southport, Almost got inside. Another
of those churches that has great antiquity and will be extremely
interesting. I have exterior photos but the first ones will be the
memorial. The Ref number on the UK National Archive is 54968.<br />

I visited Calverley almost by accident on the way back from Shipley. The memorial is situated in Victoria Park, a fine stretch of open park land. A great place. I can only belive that the name plates are new. There is very little staining coming from them. I actually quite like the green staining from the bronze. I can see why many would not.<br />
These are the pictures. The memorial is No <b>21869</b> at the National Archive of War Memorials. <br />

In the churchyard at St Cuthbert's in Lytham there are both memorials and also gravestones. The photos are below. Somewhat
disappointing that the graves have the little Remembrance Day crosses
and the memorials do not. Perhaps the memorials are not so obvious. But its nice
that people remember anyway. Hopefully I can derive links from some of
them. Some will cross reference onto the main memorial in Lytham at Hastings Place and at St Cuthbert's. </div>

As before I appear to have missed several servicemen's graves. Any of the links will take you back to St Cuthbert's graveyard. There you will find the missing graves. There is more information on many of the CWGC website. The memorials will also take you back to the CWGC website too. I have not done any searching anywhere else.</div>

If you visited before I have decided to put the servicemen's graves at St Cuthbert's separately. However this set of pictures are related to Kirkham and Wrea Green - the Birley family. This link goes back to the<a href="http://stonechaser.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/the-birley-memorial-kirkham-parish.html" target="_blank"> Birley memorial</a> in the Kirkham Parish church graveyard. It considerably helped in "decoding" the information on the Birley memorial. Hopefully it helps in nailing some of the links that Birley researchers needed to establish.<br /><br />

This war memorial is not in the town centre, it is set inside fairly large grounds which give it a sort of amphitheatre feel to it. About 400 yards from the Parish Church along a fenced with farmland on one side of the walkway. Grassed and gardens on the other. There are terraces above which lead out to Kirkham's main street. The walkway continues to more houses. The photographs make a better description. I haven’t completed the transcription - for WW2 (tomorrow!)<br />

<span style="background-color: #f6b26b;">
M.C. London Gazette 25 April 1918: ‘T/Lt. Percy Theodore Carden, Gen.
List and R.F.C. For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. When
acting as observer he made a successful wire reconnaissance along a
corps front at a height of 300 to 800 feet under heavy machine-gun and
rifle fire. On another occasion, while observing during a reconnoitring
patrol, he and his pilot had four encounters with enemy aeroplanes, in
one of which they were attacked at 800 feet by five enemy scouts. He
kept up a continuous fire, and drove off the enemy, and completed a
valuable reconnaissance. He showed the greatest keenness and
determination at his work.’</span><br style="background-color: #f6b26b;" /><div>
<br style="background-color: #f6b26b;" /><span style="background-color: #f6b26b;">Percy Theodore Carden was the son of
Major-General G. Carden. He was educated at Wellington College, and
