Searching for more information about Sergeant Arthur Saville of Cowling who enlisted for Duke Wellingtons on 16th Sept, 1914. According to the CWGC site he died on 22nd Sept. 1916, age 22, buried at Thiepval, and was the son of Lydia Brooke nee Saville and stepfather J. W. Brooke, of Cleckheaton. I have a photo with an old newscutting, and Arthur is very much like the late Jack Saville of Cowling, but can't find any connection as yet. Would like to add Arthur to my Cowling related WW1 and 2 lists and albums and have his name read out with the rest on Remembrance Sunday. There were members of the Saville family in Sutton also.
Any help welcome, thanks.

A HUGE! Thankyou to the people of Cowling for the warm welcome we have received since opening the Tropical Fish Shop in the villiage. The response has been brilliant.

If you dont see what you want, please ask, we may have it in stock or we can order most things you might need.

Thanks again, Emma and Chris.

Hi,

I'm just wondering if anyone has any information or knows of the owners of Brush Farm? It's just off of ***** Lane to Four Lane Ends. My boyfriend and i have been walking in Cowling for many years and as far as we're aware, it has sat derelict for the best part of 10 years! I've found old newspaper articles saying the house was ransacked and subsequently set on fire by arsonists in the last couple of years but the owner has never done any repair/restoration work.

Any information would be really helpful.
Many Thanks
Jennifer Rodgers, Oakworth

Heard about increase in schoolchildren's bus fares to Cross Hills from Cowling ... so went into bus station at Keighley and looked on www.mainlinebus.co.uk also .. seems complicated. The manager in charge - told me to ask Burnley and Pendle bus driver, but their bus not in sight just then. Was told child's fare is 2/3 of adult fare on ordinary service bus, but on school bus half fare- with no returns or prepaid tickets. So does it cost around £3 per day for bus fares for each child? (ONLY IF THEY LIVE UNDER THE 3 MILE LIMIT, as this village and many others are still divided - mad) (Sorry, have been going on about this since 1978/9 when education cutbacks were made.) Pls. put me straight as simply as poss. as I would like to pass it on to Cty. Council - think John Watson is Education Officer or similar there - he was our v. gd. MP at that time - and think he went on a demonstration march with us in 1979?? Got a photo somewhere... haha.

Does anyone know if anything is going to be done about the terrible state of Ickornshaw Beck just across from the flats - this was always a lovely area! Have heard (whether right or wrong) that the responsibility lies with a few people living nearby who own that section of the beck. An old resident has been in the area and is very upset to find it like this - the place where his last wishes would have been honoured - that is the scattering of his ashes - but has now decided to make other arrangements! Any information welcome.

Local Junior Cricket - Hi, my son is 8 nearly 9 and would love to learn to play cricket this season. Can anyone tell me if he's too young for Cowling's club, and if so which local clubs have a team / training session for kids in that age bracket. Thanks Dave

I received my Cowling News this afternoon, 07 April. Its arrival at this time meant I stood to have missed the following:

Cowling Parish Council Annual Meeting: 02 April
Drystone Egg Trail: 06 April
Film club: 06 April
Drystone Easter Meal: 07 April
Moonrakers meeting: 05 April
Church Event: Palm Sunday: 01 April
Holy Communion: 02,03,04 April
Christian Passover Meal: Maundy Thursday: 05 April
Good Friday Process: 06 April
St Andrew's Coffee Morning: 07 April

The magazine is a good idea, but if its called the April edition, then it should be with households BEFORE April 1. Having a deadline for contributions is fine, but there needs to be a clear statement of when the following month's magazine will be delivered - that should always be before the start of the following month.

Would like to thank the BBC crew, Matt Baker & especially the Yorkshire Air Ambulance crew for making our afternoon. They were filming for Countryfile (to be on BBC1 probably 15th April) on top of the Pinnacle. The pilot allowed our 5yr old to sit in the helicopter & chatted away to us about his job. Matt Baker was also really friendly & none of the crew minded us hanging around for over an hour, watching & taking photos. What a treat & a fantastic cause to support!!!

Village Hall Sponsored Event - Can you help?

On Saturday 28th April the Village Hall management committee will be running the fair and cafe at Skipton Town Hall. Last year we raised well over a £1000 from this event and we're hoping to do well again this year.
We will be running a tombola stall and would be very greatful for any donations of suitable prizes. Items don't have to be of a high value. Could this be a good way to pass on unwanted items and help support our efforts to get the new hall open in our vilalge?
If you have anything that you think you'd like to donate please give me a call on 631685 or drop me a line at suggestions@cowlingvillagehall.co.uk
We'd also love to see you support us at the event; perhaps drop in for a coffee and a slice of homemade cake?
THANK YOU
Dave R

Due to work commitments I've been away from the village for a couple of weeks. I've read with great interest the comments to my original post of motorbikes on the crag. Anyone found out where the landowner lives? I do also appreciate that there are other contributory factors to the demise of the crag, but the thing that does the most damage over the shortest period of time are the bikes.

I am researching my paternal grandmother's family, Shuttleworth, who lived in the village from 1800's. She was called Emma Murietta Shuttleworth who marrid Percy Drake, her father was John Shuttleworth who married Anne Atkinson, and his father was Henry who married Anne Stephenson. I believe his father's name could have been John and mother's name maybe Mary. Are there any Shuttleworth's left in the village and if so can you help. Thank you Rosemary Sharpe (nee Drake)

Zumba at St Andrew's Church - Mondays 7pm 'til 8pm

Last weeks trial Zumba class was a resounding success. 25 people danced, swayed, worked up a healthy glow and had loads of fun.

The good news is that ZumbaBradford now want to make this a regular class, so from this Monday it's a regular thing. If you came and enjoyed it, come again and bring a friend. If you didn't and you're just curious come and have a go. You just need a bottle of water and a towel.

please contact ZumbaBradford for more details

Right. Did say i would not post on here again which i haven't for over 12 months plus.
But when some one is crapping on a memorial area on private property Where My brother's ashes are i do not take kindly to it neither does my parents. ( mother is absolutely bouncing ) Why have they walked off the footpath for a start. There is a plaque there for all to see ( which someone has put a bullet through a while back. ) so why go and crap in one place and put paper under a bush in another place. Then walkers wonder why Farmers and people with property get p...'d of with them. Fined for dogs crapping, Bring it in for the public. Biggest culprits round here.
