<strong>Heywood</strong> Charities<br />
Fete AGM<br />
A total of £5,200 was awarded in grants<br />
to local voluntary groups and<br />
organisations at the <strong>Heywood</strong> Charities<br />
Fete AGM on Monday 12th February.<br />
The AGM was hosted at Sandon House with centre<br />
volunteers providing a meat and potato pie supper<br />
for the guests.<br />
The proceeds raised during the <strong>Heywood</strong> Charities<br />
Fete in September last year were split between<br />
a number of local groups, including <strong>Heywood</strong> in<br />
Bloom, The Friends of <strong>Hopwood</strong> Park, <strong>Heywood</strong><br />
Veterans Association, St Luke’s Guiding Group,<br />
Sandon House, <strong>Heywood</strong> Explorer & Scout Unit,<br />
Roach Dynamos Football Club, Kats Dance Events<br />
& Community non-profit Group, <strong>Heywood</strong> children’s<br />
charity Little Monkeys.<br />
Mayor Ian Duckworth, President of the Charities Fete Committee, presented a<br />
representative from each group with a cheque for a sum between £150 and £300.<br />
Each representative explained how the money would benefit their cause.<br />
Steve Brown, Chair of the Charities Fete Committee thanked all the volunteers for<br />
their help in organising the Fete and thanked the fete sponsors. The Committee also<br />
gave a special thank you to George Kinder in his absence, who has now stepped<br />
down after being a valuable member of the organising committee for many years.<br />
New members of the organising committee are also being sought.<br />
The theme for this year’s fete will be ‘Animals’. Any<br />
group wishing to take part in the parade or the fete<br />
on Sunday 2 September can contact Steve Brown<br />
on 01706 365723 or email: sbrown_uk@hotmail.com<br />

<strong>Heywood</strong> in Bloom<br />
I have attended the AGM for <strong>Heywood</strong><br />
Charities Fete on behalf of <strong>Heywood</strong> in Bloom.<br />
The Charities Fete which dates back to the<br />
1930s is a great tradition in <strong>Heywood</strong> and is<br />
always well supported. Each year the fete<br />
committee chooses a theme for the parade<br />
which this year is ‘Animals’ and it will be<br />
held on Sunday 2nd September.<br />
The AGM was well attended and the Mayor Ian<br />
Duckworth handed out cheques totalling £5,200<br />
to local groups. <strong>Heywood</strong> in Bloom was<br />
presented with a cheque for £150 towards this<br />
year’s Britain in Bloom entry.<br />
We have now finalised our fundraiser which will<br />
be on Friday 18th May at TOPS Business Centre<br />
on Hind Hill St. The evening will include a fun<br />
quiz and a raffle along with an ABBA karaoke<br />
(fancy dress is optional). Your ticket price £10<br />
will include a glass of wine and a light buffet,<br />
drinks will be on sale throughout the evening.<br />
We have two new entries on our judging route<br />
through <strong>Heywood</strong> this year. <strong>Heywood</strong> in Bloom<br />
have made plans to refurbish the garden area<br />
at the blind centre on Bamford Road and our<br />
railway station will be getting a makeover on<br />
its platform with hanging baskets and planters<br />
which we have now purchased.<br />
Entries for this year are being submitted now<br />
and should be in by <strong>March</strong>.<br />
If your business would like to sponsor<br />
one of our planters please get in touch,<br />

Friends of<br />
Queens Park<br />
Friends of Queens Park have agreed to enter Queens Park into<br />
this year’s Britain in Bloom <strong>2018</strong> competition. In 2016 the park won<br />
a top award which covered the whole of the North West and lasted<br />
for two years. The judges are always very impressed with the<br />
quality of our park and once again awarded it Gold Standard<br />
in 2017.<br />
Work has now started on the rebuilding of the bandstand which<br />
was badly damaged by fire twelve months ago. The work has<br />
started with the removal of asbestos and the repairs should be<br />

From The Archives<br />
Clover Street Unitarian Church<br />
From the beginning of the 19th<br />
century Rochdale was known as a place<br />
in which nonconformist churches thrived.<br />
By 1848 there were 23 places of worship<br />
in the town with the Church of England<br />
representing only a third of them offering<br />
services. Not only working people, but<br />
mill-owners belonged to nonconformist<br />
churches, meaning that they had a great<br />
deal of power in the town. A little earlier<br />
in 1844 when the Pioneers were setting<br />
up their shop in Toad Lane at least half of<br />
their original management belonged<br />
to nonconformist chapels, six of these<br />
Co-operators having a connection to one<br />
specific church in Rochdale – Clover<br />
Street Unitarians.<br />
Nor was this Clover Street’s only historical<br />
connection to radicalism. The first Workers<br />
Educational Associations (WEA) tutorial<br />
class was held in Rochdale in 1908 and<br />
many of that class were also members<br />
of the Clover Street congregation. On<br />
reflection this might not be too surprising<br />
given the tendency for the Unitarians,<br />
of all nonconformists, to feed social and<br />
political change. Certainly, it tended to be<br />
those sects separating from Methodism<br />
that carried the liberal cause of reform and<br />
in Rochdale as elsewhere, Primitive<br />
Methodists, Congregationalists, Baptists,<br />
Quakers and most of all Unitarians, rose<br />
to meet the challenge of the new politics of<br />
the early 20th century.<br />
particular set of practices in Unitarianism<br />
which encourage habits of close reading,<br />
analysis and self-improvement. It meant<br />
that Clover Street in the early 20thcentury<br />
was one of the most prominent radical<br />
chapels to emerge but it did so from a<br />
history which included controversial<br />
figures in the town such as William Frend,<br />
Benjamin Flower, George Dyer, Dr.Estlin,<br />
Gilbert Wakefield, but most of all<br />
Joseph Cooke.<br />
Cookites in Rochdale represented an<br />
intellectual faith which found a home in<br />
Unitarianism with energetic lay preachers<br />
such as the woollen weaver John<br />
Ashworth, the shoemaker James<br />
Wilkinson and the lay preacher James<br />
Taylor.Joseph Cooke, an itinerant<br />
preacher, looked for an alternative to<br />
Wesleyan Methodism in 1805 because<br />
he believed it to be anti-intellectual and<br />
anti-social. For such views he was expelled<br />
from Methodism and so set up Providence<br />
Chapel in High Street, Rochdale,taking his<br />
old congregation with him. This chapel<br />
became the most prominent dissenting<br />
body in the town.Not surprisingly, Cooke<br />
was a Chartists and a Co-operator.<br />
The Cookites eventually found a home<br />
with the Unitarians and a chapel was set<br />
up in Blackwater Street which housed<br />
their common beliefs. In 1890 Blackwater<br />
St and Clover St Unitarians amalgamated<br />
but eventually Blackwater Street Church<br />
Some have explained such a radical<br />
closed its doors. Clover Street<br />
outlook as at Clover Street by identifying a Unitarians continued, however, with its<br />
40<br />

lively, family-oriented congregation built<br />
around working class communities in<br />
Rochdale. From Cookite roots and building<br />
on its foundation in radical faith, Clover<br />
Street Unitarian Church became an<br />
important hub of political change in the<br />
town. That combination of social and<br />
economic responsibility which sat<br />
alongside Christian faith and hope was<br />
recognised and replicated in the novel of<br />
1881 ‘Hiram Greg’ by Joseph Crowther<br />
Hirst, the chapel at its centre - ‘Heather<br />
Street Church’- being modelled directly<br />
on Rochdale’s pioneering Clover Street<br />
Unitarians.<br />
