In a letter of 10 August 1577 the founder of the English College at Douai, William Allen, outlined the perils and privations that priests sent into Protestant England might expect to face at that time:
“This is certain: that the priests there had need to pray instantly and fast much and watch and ward themselves well, lest the needful use of sundry enticements to sin and necessary dissimulation in things of themselves indifferent, to be fit for every company, bring them to offend God and so, while they labour to save others, become reprobate. Wherein they must also be more careful of their ways, for that every man's eyes be cast upon them as on such as taken upon them to be guides of other men's lives and belief; whose faults many a man spieth that prayeth not for them, as most men mark their misses and few consider in what fears and dangers they be in, and what unspeakable pains they take to serve good men's turns to their least peril. I could reckon unto you the miseries they suffer in night journies in the worst weather that can be picked, peril of thieves, of waters, of watches, of false brethren; their close abode in chambers as in prison or dungeon without fire and candle lest they give token to the enemy where they be; their often and sudden rising from their beds at midnight to avoid the diligent searches of heretics; all which and divers other discontentments, disgraces and reproaches they willingly suffer, which is great penance for their feathers; and all to win the souls of their dearest countrymen, which pains few men pity as they should do and not many reward them as they ought to do”.*
The term “feathers” refers to the disguise that a priest might need to assume as cover for his missionary work. Whilst some enjoyed the limited protection afforded by members of the Catholic gentry, others -including, it would seem, Edmund Arrowsmith- laboured mostly among the poorer people and needed some plausible reason for their being constantly on the move. Among the most convenient “feathers” were those of the travelling salesman or pedlar. The pedlar's trunk now on display at Stonyhurst College (main picture and right, bottom) was recovered from a priest hole at Samlesbury Hall where it is thought to have lain undisturbed since the 17th century, and to have been used by Edmund Arrowsmith amongst others. Overlying the priestly vestments inside was found a pink bonnet, presumably to give the impression the contents were in fact a set of women's clothing.
It would seem that Edmund Arrowsmith's priestly activity was centred for the most part on the village of Brindle, near Chorley. In “The Red Letter Men of Brindle” Abbot Bede Turner refers to a “firm tradition” of his “celebrating [mass] also at Denham, at the Lower Hall, Salmesbury, at Fleetwood Hall, at Jack Green and Wickenham Farm in Withnell, at the Maltyshouse in Wheelton, at Woodcock Hall in Cuerdon and at the house in Gregson Lane, still pointed out as the house wherein he raised the Divine Host for the last time”.** Another set of vestments together with a chalice and sections of two altar stones, possibly associated with Edmund Arrowsmith and now at St Joseph's RC Church, Brindle, were found in the walls of a cottage on Hillhouse Lane in the 18th century. The altar at the Church (right, top; actually part of an oak cupboard of c.1580) is believed to have been used as such by Fr Arrowsmith when saying mass for the Dennett family of Appleton Hall near Widnes. Also shown above are-
a small ivory statue of Mary holding the infant Jesus, now at St Joseph's, Brindle, but probably manufactured in Flanders in the late 16th century and believed to have been dropped by Edmund Arrowmith during the chase that preceded his capture in 1628; and
another altar now in The Reliquary at Ladyewell Shrine, Fulwood; by tradition made for the Townleys of Townley Hall in 1560, and used by Edmund Arrowsmith for the celebration of mass at Lower Wood End Farm in 1624.***
*A contemporary copy of this letter forms part of the deposited collection of the “Old Brotherhood of the English Secular Clergy” at Westminster Archdiocesan Archives. The addressee, Fr Maurice Chauncy, was then prior of the English Carthusians at Bruges.
**1946 typescript at the Ampleforth Abbey Library & Archives, ref. GX84-1. The archivist notes that the author “wrote from memory and devotion. Unfortunately he gives very little source information, so it is not easy to check his details”.
***The provenance of these “relics” is in some instances as uncertain as their connection with Edmund Arrowsmith is tenuous. For example, the undoubtedly ancient vestments at St Joseph's are alternatively said to have been discovered at what is now Arrowsmith House, Gregson Lane, or in the hollow of a yew tree. An explanation may be that there have in fact been multiple discoveries of such items in the locality and that the accounts having become confused over the years. See, in this connection, “In A Martyr's Footsteps: Some Lancashire Traditions of Venerable Edmund Arrowsmith SJ” in Dom Bede Camm's “Forgotten shrines : an account of some old Catholic halls and families in England, and of relics and memorials of the English martyrs” (Macdonald & Evans, 1910). Maintaining anything like an accurate inventory of items for the celebration of mass in the 17th century would, of course, have been highly dangerous.
A BIG deep breath.
A record-breaking night in Bedfordshire
I joined Matt and Lionel at Home Wood on Monday night in Bedfordshire.
The day had been absolutely scorching and hit nearly 30 degrees during the day and the night was meant to go no lower than 19/20 degrees, perfect muggy weather for moths despite clear skies we had absolutely no wind at all and no moon to contend with.
We setup 5 traps and a light and sheet under sweaty conditions, it was hot stuff indeed and once again I attracted Horse-flies!
As soon as it got dark, moths were absolutely everywhere with micros at first in their hundreds and then the Geometers started coming in and finally the Noctuids and boy was there action around the lights.
I've been out before and had trouble with lots of midges and flies but never have I had as much trouble from inhaling moths as well.
The species kept tallying up and it was hard to keep up.
We got to 100 species about 2 hours in and then from midnight it was about 1 or 2 a minute being jotted down.
Highlights were massively over-whelming with two County first species to start with....Rosy Marbled and Elegia similella.
Copied from Andy Banthorpe's email.
Gen Dets of species retained so far.
Carpatolechia fugitivella m & f – been recorded there before
Carpatolechia notatella f – 3rd county record
Neofaculta ericetella m confirmed
Dioryctria abietella f
Satyr Pug f 18th county record, only third since 1996
Teleiodes vulgella f (worn dark grey)
Caloptilia alchimiella m
Nemapogon cloacella m
Nemapogon ruricolella m – 4th county record
Coleophore kuehnella m (the white one)
Other Macro highlights were Cream-bordered Green Pea, 10+ Scarlet Tiger's, 5x Marbled Brown and Mere Wainscot.
In total for the time being we recorded 140 species of Macro and 148 species of micro, eclipsing my highest ever previous species of 252 with a grand total of 288 species!!
We finally finished packing up (which took over 2 hours) at 4am as it was getting light.
Thanks guys for the help you gave me and adding to the list as we went through the night.

We are trying to keep track of Kanes increadable growth. He is a male brindle english mastiff. At 8 weeks old he weighed about 18 lbs, and now at 17 weeks he is 47 lbs. He is very good with our kids.

Brindle Heath Junction signal box located between the Up Main (in front of the signal box) and Down Connecting lines. Sunday 14th April 1985
Brindle Heath Junction signal box was a Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Company standard design fitted with a 76 lever Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Company Tappet frame that opened 28th May 1899 replacing an 1887 built Railway Signal Company standard design signal box located on the Down side of the line on the opposite side of the Fast lines flyover bridge. The lever frame was extended to 84 levers in autumn 1902 and was replaced by a 100 lever London Midland Region Standard frame in 1952, the replacement frame being reduced to 60 levers in 1979. The signal box closed on 10th May 1987 when the Connecting line to Agecroft Junction signal box was closed and the line between Windsor Bridge and Walkden signal boxes was converted from absolute block to track circuit block. The redundant box immediately became a magnet for vandals who set it on fire by the end of the month
The signal box carries a Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Company nameboard, and below the 2x2 pane operating floor windows a row of single pane windows have been boarded over
The picture is taken from an embankment which formerly carried the Fast lines which passed over the Slow lines at Brindle Heath Junction. The Main lines in the picture were formerly the Slow lines until 21st November 1965 when the Fast lines were taken out of use between Crow Nest Junction and Pendleton Broad Street signal boxes

There are so many pictures from 2016 that I've just paid no attention at all. This is from last March; Mack and Cole had been playing hard outside. When Mack gets tired he just lays down wherever he is and that's it. You can't get him to move until he's done resting. Priorities, dog style.
