a memorial to Highley Sugden, who was a generous benefactor
and supporter of the National Trust and gave some of the land
on Eccles Pike to the Trust. The memorial is near the summit

The
Parish Council held a Public Meeting in March to look at the future
format for Remembrance Sunday following numerous requests from
groups and individuals to amend the timing of the service to allow
the community to join together at 11am at the Memorial on Chapel
Market Place. Following this meeting, the Council addressed the
Parochial Church Council at the Parish Church and has subsequently
met with the Vicar and Churchwardens to seek an earlier service on
Remembrance Sunday. Sadly, they were unwilling to agree to our
request. Consequently, the Council has now taken the decision to
organise the Parade and the Civic Service, which will result in a
Civic Service taking place on the Market Place in
Chapel-en-le-Frith, with the incorporation of an Act of Remembrance
at 11am. The Council hope that all the organisations will take part
and an invitation will be sent out as usual once details have been
formalised.
A Friends of Chapel
Park group has been formed to gather people’s views and make
improve-ments to Chapel Memorial Park, so that all members of the
public can enjoy this lovely green space in our town.
pleased
that there was a good representation from local people and
organisations at the public meeting in March to discuss the future
format of Remembrance Sunday. The majority view was that the silence
at 11am on Remembrance Sunday should be held on the Market Place to
enable all sections of the community to take part. As Rev.
Bralesford said he was reluctant to change the timing of the church
service to enable this to happen, the Chairman of the Council and
Clerk will be meeting the Vicar, Church Wardens and Parochial Church
Council at the end of May to see if a compromise can be reached.
