Funeral of the late Bill Howarth
The arrangements for the late Bill Howarth s’ funeral, which have been shared elsewhere on this site, were also read out in accordance with a request from the family
BILL HOWARTH’S FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS – Update
THURSDAY 13th. JANAURY 2022 – Updated 10/01/22
We have been given permission by Bill’s family to send out the following details.
Due to the surge in Corona virus, the funeral has been limited by the Church to 80 people, so it is with regret that attendance at the service will be by invitation only.
However, the service will be livestreamed on Zoom:
Time: 11:45am

The cortege will be leaving the car park at MBC at 10:40 on Thursday 13th January for a private family burial at St Michael’s in Aughton. Anyone unable to attend the service is welcome to pay their respects by seeing the Cortege leave the Church.
The family will return for a thanksgiving service at 11:45 am led by the Rev Phil Jump.
After the service there will be light refreshments served at Ormskirk Cricket club.
Those attending will be asked to wear a face mask whilst in the Church, use hand sanitizer and keep socially distanced rules. Ideally, where possible, people should do a lateral flow test before they attend.
Thanks on behalf of the Howarth Family.
INFORMATION FROM MBC
Please could those who plan to pay their respects when the Cortege leaves the church on Thursday, park at the Town Hall or in the Cricket Club.
The church car park will be reserved for family and those attending the Thanksgiving Service, along with anyone who has mobility difficulties.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sunday walkers – 02/01/22
15 of us went on a mystery walk this morning. Due to conditions the route had to be changed more than once. We ended up doing 4 miles from the station, along canal to Bells Lane and back. We were very lucky with the weather as it rained heavily about 30 minutes after we finished. We agreed we would all take a lateral flow test before walks in the future for the time being.
Great to be back – happy New Year to all who were unable to join us

Hope you enjoyed the walk today, nearly 5 miles from Aughton station. We strolled along Long Lane, Blackmoss Lane , New Lane then over to Catherine’s Lane into Croppers Lane. At Poppy’s Lane we turned right through the farm down to Graveyard Lane. We stopped and saw the Friends Burial Ground (Quakers -1665) then walked through Graveyard farm following the footpath over a small bridge up to the Moor Hall estate. Then left onto Prescot Road, right at the next footpath which brought us back to Town Green station. Hope to see you all soon- Brian
