St Mary Magdalene Clitheroe

On September 13th we were privileged to host the dedication and blessing of two new memorial books commemorating the Clitheroe war dead of the Second World war and those who have given their lives in conflicts in following years. The photo shows members of the British Legion and representatives of the Armed Forces, police and fire services and Ribble Valley and Town Council Mayors who supported.
