appROaCH TO gOOD HEalTH 

As the sole owner of Valley Acupuncture, Louise has enjoyed seven 

successful years in business and has recently refurbished her clinic. 

The natural approach of acupuncture means patients are often 

keen to try a drug free option to improve their health. Over the 

years, Louise has treated patients with general health problems, 

pain, injury and conditions experienced in pregnancy. There also 

continues to be a growing interest in patients seeking support 

during natural fertility and assisted reproductive technology, with 

some fertility clinics actually recommending acupuncture to their 

patients. During the spring and summer months, treatment can 

be also helpful with conditions such as hay fever. As a member 

of the British Acupuncture Council, Louise is recognised by some 

private health insurers, so it`s worth checking your policy to see 

if you are covered. If you require professional advice about how 

traditional acupuncture may help you, or wish to book an 

appointment please call 01706 759896 or 07903 851856 or

From the archives - 

The Reverend William Hay, 

Vicar of Rochdale 

In 1761 William Robert Hay was born into a wealthy family in Cintra portugal, his father being Envoy 

Extraordinary to the Court of portugal 1759and his mother the daughter of the Earl of Oxford. Hay was 

educated at Westminster School after which he attended Christ Church Oxford between 1780 and 1783. 

Called to the bar to practice law in 1788, he married the daughter of a manchester surgeon, mary Wagstaffe 

in 1793. Turning to holy orders Hay was ordained as Deacon (1797) and the priest (1798) to Chester and 

took on a small curacy in Hollinwood near Oldham. 

Crucially in 1802 he was elected Chair to the Salford 

Quarter Sessions and Commissioner of the Peace in 

Lancashire, Cheshire and the West Riding of Yorkshire and 

became Deputy Lieutenant of Lancashire. During this time 

Hay distinguished himself by his firmness as a magistrate 

during the Luddite riots of 1812 and 1813 although it 

was felt that he was far too eager to suppress the 

protesters. In a letter to Hay from W Ogden in a 

Manchester newspaper in 1819 it was claimed that ‘as 

a magistrate you have taken an active part in 

committing to prison a large number of not only 

innocent, but worthy young men. Where is your 

judgement? 

National fame and notoriety for William Hay was yet 

to come. As possibly the most active and influential 

magistrate in the country, in 1819 Hay was called 

to Manchester on the 18th August to oversee what 

was expected to be a seditious gathering seeking 

reform of parliamentary representation. An earlier 

circular from the Home Office recommended 

vigilance of local magistrates and the training of 

militia prior to the assembly of the protesters, 

32

6000 of whom marched 6-abreast with bands and colours 

flying into the centre of Manchester, making up an 

assembly some felt to be20000, others between 

60000 and 80000 strong at what became 

known as Peterloo. 

William Hay and the other magistrates 

felt that, even though the crowd 

appeared peaceful there was a danger 

to public safety and proclaimed the 

meeting illegal. As Chairman of the 

Quarter Sessions and responsible for the 

reading of the Riot Act, Hay did so and 

although an hour should legally elapse before 

dispersing a crowd, an immediate attempt was 

made to clear the way and arrest those making speeches. 

This was done first by the Manchester Yeomanry advancing at a 

walk but then on the orders of the Magistrates the Hussars deployed at a trot, 

and on a trumpet blast, a charge. There was panic and a stampede in which 700 were badly injured and 18 killed. Archbishop 

Alison felt that the conduct of the magistrates wasill-judged and their measures inexpedient although others such as Canon Parkinson 

in the Manchester Courier (14/12/1839) felt that Manchester owed a vote of thanks ‘to Mr Hay’s firmness and coolness.’ 

One month after the Peterloo massacre, William Hay was nominated for a living as Vicar of Rochdale, one of the most lucrative in 

the country at that time, being worth £1838 per year! Many reformers were annoyed at Hay’s promotion and efforts were made to 

challenge it. Hay never seems to have been known much in Rochdale as a clergyman but more as a lawyer and politician. He was 

often indiscrete however, and on one occasion gave enormous offence when drinking at a public dinner at the Wellington Hotel by 

toasting ‘the health of my good friends, Hunt and Co’ who were the speakers arrested speakers at Peterloo. Clement Royds, who was 

later to be High Sheriff of the county, never forgot the indecency of that remark. 

Reputed to have been a man of 18 stones it was said that it took 14 yards of Saddleworth cloth to make a suit of clothes for him. 

He was not generally seen in and around Rochdale and in fact didn’t like the town. If Samuel Bamford’s poem ‘The Pernicious 

Parson’ is anything to go by, the feeling was mutual! 

If you have any comments on peterloo or William Hay, I’d be delighted to hear from you and add them to a growing 

Rochdale archive on the subject. please contact gary Heywood-Everett at garyheywoodeverett@yahoo.co.uk or leave

The award winning gardens surrounding Springhill Hospice are just beginning to flower, summer will 

soon be here, encouraging the gardens to bloom. What could be a more appropriate time to launch the 

Hospice’s new Sunflower appeal? 

“We are so proud of the beautiful grounds and the pleasure they bring. The 

sight of patients enjoying the sunshine, flowers, hedgerows and wildlife has 

inspired a new campaign, which we are inviting the whole community to join, 

said the Hospice’s Chief Executive, Julie Halliwell. 

“This summer sees the launch of our new Sunflower Appeal. The sunflower is 

vibrant, strong and beautiful, symbolic of life, love and faith, as well as 

representing the Hospice movement as a whole. What better symbol for a 

new fundraising appeal, to shine a light on special memories of happy times 

past and present, helping to keep them strong? 

“It is a celebration of memories both old and new and for those we create 

every day” added Julie. 

their annual Open Garden Day on August 6th. Anyone choosing to place their 

plaque in the Hospice grounds will receive free entry to the Open Garden day 

simply by bringing along their sunflower. 

Mrs Halliwell went on to explain “We’d love to see the vegetable and herb 

beds full of elegant sunflowers for everyone to see. The plaques will stay in 

place for the month of August, after which they can be taken home for you to 

keep forever” adding “the money raised from the Sunflower Appeal will allow 

us to create lasting memories for more families”. 

“Some very special memories were born even when creating this campaign” 

Springhill Sunflowers are lovely, all-weather plaques approximately 22 cm 

high and include a space for your own brief dedication. Each Sunflower 

plaque is £5.50 which includes postage and are available to buy online at 

www.springhill.org.uk/sunflower-appeal. 

You can choose to display your Sunflower in your home, garden or another 

special place. Wherever you decide, your sunflower will remain a warm focus 

over the summer for that special memory or person in your life. 

In addition, Springhill are also offering the opportunity to place the plaque 

amongst the flowers, vegetables or herb garden in the Hospice grounds during 

explained Fundraising Manager, Lillie Winterbottom. 

“We took our plaques to Lower Place Primary School so see what the children 

there thought of our special, lasting memory, sunflowers. It was a beautiful 

sunny day and one I’ll never forget. The children greeted us with the most 

wonderful beaming smiles, they loved the sunflowers, talking, laughing and 

giggling together in the sunshine. I was reminded of my own children when 

they were younger, all rosy cheeked and giddy. I‘ve bought my very own 

sunflowers, some for my garden at home and some to be placed at the 

Hospice. Every time I look at them they’ll remind me firstly of my children 

and then of a wonderful afternoon, out and about in the community, meeting 

the Hospice’s youngest supporters. Simply wonderful”. 

Join Springhill in their Sunflower Appeal, do something amazing for you, your 

family and your community.

ULTIMATE FENCING 

Love your garden with timber alternatives: 

l Composite wood balustrade fencing & railings 

l Composite decking 

l Wood grain composite decking 

l Fence Panels - can be slotted into existing posts 

Composite Wood is ultra-low maintenance, it 

doesn’t need staining, sealing or painting – so 

relax as there’s no hard work to be done. 

It's also splinter free and slip resistant as well as 

UV stabilised which prevents the sun's rays from 

fading or affecting the colour in any way, giving 

your garden a look that 's as good as new. 

Come along 

and see our display of 

Composite wood products
