Great Mitton - All Hallows
|
The nave of All Hallows Church, with its Early English Gothic style, was built in or about 1270. The chancel was added in about 1295. It has a false ceiling which was installed in 1850. The nave and chancel were tiled in 1845. The chancel screen is believed to have come from Sawley Abbey after the dissolution of the monasteries.
In 1439 a chapel was added on the north side of the Church. This was pulled down in 1594 when Sir Richard Shireburne arranged for the present Chapel to be built as a family mausoleum. The Shireburne Chapel, divided from the chancel by a screen, contains memorials of the Shireburne family who lived at Stonyhurst.
The alabaster tomb is that of Sir Richard Shireburne (+.1594) and his wife, Dame Maud. Sir Richard died in the same year that the chapel was rebuilt. Evidently the work had to be done in a hurry to be ready for his interment,
The tomb is a work the Roiley workshop of Burton-on-Trent

Whalley - St Mary and All Saints
|
|
|
The Church of St Mary and All Saints dates from the 13th century. A church probably existed on this site in Anglo-Saxon times. There are three Anglo-Saxon crosses in the churchyard. The "Church of St Mary held in Wallei" was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. Most of the present church was built in the 13th century, replacing a simpler structure which likely had an aisleless nave and chancel. The tower was added in the late 15th century.
The ruins of the Cistercian abbey of Whalley Abbey, founded in 1172, are very close by. The last abbot, John Paslew, was involved in the "Pilgrimage of Grace" against the church policy of King Henry VIII and was subsequently executed. Following the sequestration of the monastery by the Crown in 1537, it was dissolved in 1545 and fell into disrepair towards the end of the 17th century.
The stalls in the parish church may originate from the former Cistercian abbey.

Llandudno - Donkeys
|
|
|
Children loved the donkey rides on the beach. The idea of donkey riding was born in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, in 1886, and a few years later many other seaside resorts followed suit.
Children loved this mini-adventure on the back of these patient animals, but do the donkeys like it too? Animal rights activists vehemently doubt this and are campaigning for the abolition of donkey riding.
There are now ‘donkey rescue centres’ for these animals, where large and small donkeys, mules and hinnies are taken in.
