Mayoral Sunday

This year marks the first time in almost 20 years that Barnoldswick has had a representative as Mayor of Pendle. To celebrate the occasion, this year's Mayoral Sunday took place in the town on 21st May. It was a nice sunny and warm day.




A morning service at Ghyll Church began the day, and we were greeted on our arrival by horse-drawn carriage by Barnoldswick Brass Band. The Reverend John Lancaster was recently appointed as our Mayor's chaplain and he led the service.


At 1.15pm the we led a procession from Barnoldswick Civic Hall through the town accompanied by the Brass Band, the Deputy Mayor and Mayoress, local councillors and guests of the Mayor. The horse and carriage being used for guests who had walking difficulties.
