Lune Valley Ramble This lovely trail continues northwards from here. It is clearly well rambled, and deserves to be. It passes through glorious woodland, which today were full of a marvellous variety of trees, wildflowers and wildlife. We must preserve these woodlands, not cut them down to make more room for yet more roads and building developments. — Lune Valley Ramble Credit: Andrew Shannon

Peter Bond

St James The Less Churchyard, Tatham

The grave to the left of the bush is that of 'Perpetual' Arthur Burrow, once owner of Blands near Wennington. This colourful man got his name, not from the fact that he fathered thirteen children, but from his quest to develop a perpetual motion machine. It is said that he claimed he would return from the dead and was buried in a glass fronted coffin. I hung around a while but he didn't show up.
