Description

A Journey In Time Through Goosnargh, Whittingham & Inglewhite by Janet Rigby The redevelopment of Whittingham Hospital has marked a significant change in Goosnargh and Whittingham, yet these historic villages remain of great interest. The ancient parish church of St Mary's, with its imposing surroundings, stands as a testament to the past, while historic halls conceal secrets of the past. The place names of Button Street and Silk Mill Lane evoke memories of the village's once prosperous cottage industries. Life in the 19th century and beyond was marked by various events, including Club days of the Friendly Society, Harvest Festivals, and Royal Jubilees. Eccentric vicars and other characters of the past have left their mark on the village, with notable figures such as Richard Cookson, the first chronicler of Goosnargh, having written about the village's history. This book draws inspiration from these sources, offering a glimpse into the lives of those who lived in Goosnargh in the past.
