[00:00:00]The fourth Lord Ribblesdale had two sons who were both killed in action. One in the Boer War and the other in the 1914-18 conflict. Anyway, I'm going to go back to the book, so I'm just going to read some of these things here.

[00:00:14]This contains several sections which are carved and may have come from Sawley Abbey or reused parts of an early phase of St. Mary's.

[00:00:22]The aisle windows, the organ, they've got round screen detail.

[00:00:29]So, very interesting space.

[00:00:33]A former list of former rectors and vicars on the back.

[00:00:37]This is amazing, isn't it?

[00:00:43]Going back to 1140.

[00:00:46]Absolutely fantastic.

[00:00:48]King Edward, nicknamed the last Lord Ribblesdale, the ancestor, because of his dignified appearance. The fourth Lord Ribblesdale had two sons who were both killed in action. One in the Boer War and the other in the 1914-18 conflict.

[00:01:06]It's World War I.

[00:01:08]I mean, the pages go on and on. There's so much history in this book.
