Benedictines still serve Brownedge and these off-

shoots. There is a convent of Sisters of Charity of

St. Paul.

Before 1672 the children of Walton

SCHOOL were taught in the chapel of Low, but

in that year Sir Richard Hoghton gave

land on which a school was erected, free only to the

inhabitants of the town. Peter Burscough had given

£100 in 1624, the interest to be applied to the

master’s salary. During a vacancy of the mastership

in the time of the Civil War this sum was augmented

to £130. Other benefactors were Mr. Andrew

Dandy, citizen of London, £100; Thomas Hesketh <<<< Walton was associated with Henry’s lines. Date appeart to be about 1624.

of Walton, £20. The school in School Lane, near

Bamber Bridge, stands on a site taken in exchange for

the old premises in 1870, and is conducted as a

public elementary school.'*

Peter Burscough of Walton, yeo-

CHARITIES man, gave by will in 1624 {10 per

annum, which is now paid out of the

tithes of the township of Cuerden by the impro-

priators, for the relief of the poor of Walton. This

charity, with which is now included another of £2,

founded by Thomas Crook of Abram in 1688, is

distributed to the aged poor on Good Friday, and is

therefore called the Good Friday Dole. The number

relieved averages seventy-two, and each receives 35.

The Shuttlingfields estate was devised by William

Gradell in 1735, apparently for the use of the poor

of Walton and Brindle, subject to certain life interests.

The estate was sold in 1868, and out of the proceeds

£1,300 consols were purchased as the share of

Walton, of which the interest is applied yearly for the

relief of certain pensioners chosen by the trustees, and

at present numbering about twenty-six persons. The

Red Lion trust was founded in 1874 to ensure to

children in the parish thorough instruction in the

Catechism, liturgy and principles of the Church of

England.
