ARISTOCRAT AT WAR
WHAT’S INSIDE PROPERTY LINK ACUMEN ESTATES
by Stephen Guy, West Derby Society
Britain joined France and Turkey to keep the Mediterranean free of Russian influence in what is now considered the first modern war. The conflict centred on the Crimea, a Black Sea peninsular, and employed new technologies including telegraphs and trains. The war was reported daily in the UK media, deploying the first war correspondents, and widely photographed. Britain had not fought a major war for 40 years – since the defeat of
Napoleon – and the Crimean War showed up many deficiencies. It is now best remembered for the Siege of Sebastopol, Charge of the Light Brigade and pioneering nurses Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole. War erupted in 1853 and continued until 1856. Turkey headed the ancient Ottoman Empire, then beginning to disintegrate and known as the Sick Man of Europe. Britain and her allies besieged Sebastopol, a key Russian port, for 11 months between 1854 and1855.
Among the British army officers was handsome, dashing 19-year-old West Derby aristocrat Wi l l i a m P h i l i p Molyneux. William, of Croxteth Hall, came from a long line of warriors whose ancestor – William de Moulins – helped Wi l l i a m o f Normandy conquer England at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. William Molyneux (pictured) was appointed a Lieutenant in the Grenadier Guards in 1854 and served throughout the siege. The Crimean War revealed problems of class within the mil-
itary. Soldiers in the ranks generally came from the poorest sections of society and were often illiterate. Many joined up to avoid prison or the workhouse. Once in uniform they were accommodated in crowded billets and fed on meat, bread and rum. Flogging was used to maintain discipline. They had virtually no chance of promotion or advancement from the ranks. Officers like William came from the upper classes and had to buy their commissions. Prices were extortionate – a captaincy cost £1,800 (about £126,000 today). William became 4th Earl of Sefton in 1855 during his war service. He was later involved in improvements on the Croxteth Estate and redesigni n g We s t D e r b y Village as the main entrance to his home. The Earl became Lord Lieutenant of Lancashire and in 1866 married Emily, daughter of Lord Hylton.

ROTARY MERSEYSIDE SINGER OF THE YEAR 2013 A very special evening of entertainment took place in The Concert Room, St. George’s Hall, Liverpool, as ten local singing stars competed in the final for the title of Rotary Merseyside Singer of the Year to win the first prize of £1,000. Sarah Chidlow from Garston scooped the award and prize of £1,000, which she immediately pledged to donate to charity*. Sarah has been singing since the age of ten and studied musical theatre at Liverpool Community College. Her real passion is to sing on stage in the West End and whilst working as a waitress she awaits her big
break. Presented by The Rotary Clubs of Birkenhead and Liverpool, organisers had been searching for singers from the age of eighteen to enter the competition, with auditions held earlier this year. The panel of judges included Billy Butler (Radio Merseyside), Laura Davis (Arts Editor of the Liverpool Post), Stephanie Guidera (a previous finalist and member of the Monteverdi Choir) and Glyn Môn Hughes (musician and journalist). A wide variety of wellknown songs were selected by entrants, providing a special evening’s entertainment, which also featured the
a w a r d - w i n n i n g Wi r r a l Community Choir. Competition organizer, Rotarian Graham Connolly, commented; "This is one of the best finals in my twelve years of organising singing competitions and featured ten superb soloists." The event was formerly presented as a Liverpool Rotary Merseyside young singer event, providing experience of the audition process, which has led a number of past entrants into singing careers. *Sarah has pledged to donate her prize money to the following charities; Liverpool Pals Memorial Fund Monument to the memory of

1. Set Goals: Goal Setting is one of the most powerful motivational tools. Goals fuel your training with a sense of purpose and urgency by setting short, medium and long term goals. For example, I’ve always found working towards belts in a martial art to be a good motivator. 2 . T r a i n Seasonally: Variety is inherently more enjoyable and motivating than monotony; for this reason, you might want to train differently at different times of the year. If you are used to
training indoors, now that the weather is getting warmer then maybe do an outdoor session. I teach an outdoor Boxercise session on a Saturday m o r n i n g i n Calderstones Park, starting at 10am. 3. Schedule Breaks: Sometimes the best way to stay motivated towards exercise is to not exercise, which allows your body to recover from an intense training period and can also fuel your enthusiasm and hunger again. 4.

To advertise see page TWO court where members of the powerful Molyneux family once sat in judgment. The courthouse was built in 1586 when there were just seven streets in Liverpool, clustered around the castle. As well as being
the only freestanding post-medieval courthouse in Britain, it is Liverpool’s oldest non-ecclesiastical public building. We s t D e r b y Courthouse was not a court in the modern sense – there were no lawyers and the squire acted as steward.
The Courthouse represents a vanished way of life long before Britain became a propertyowning democracy. When it was built about 50 wealthy families – most of them royalty or aristocracy – owned England. West Derby was an important settle-
ment long before Liverpool was created by King John in 1207. There was probably a courthouse in Saxon times. Elizabeth I – Good Queen Bess – personally sanctioned the building of the present Courthouse which signifies its
major role in the district. The thrifty monarch slashed the budget from £60 to £40. Locals wanted it built from wood but this was two years before the Spanish Armada threatened England. Every mighty oak tree was needed for ships – the Courthouse was
9 constructed from cheaper local stone instead. The Molyneuxes – along with the Stanleys – owned Liverpool and much of Lancashire. Later created Earls of Sefton, the Molyneuxes were also responsible for law and order and were successively
constables of both West Derby and Liverpool Castles. At the court they dealt with land and financial issues relating to their vast properties. They also sat in judgment on people accused of petty offences. The only punishments meted out were fines or up to six hours in
the stocks. The court last sat in 1910 and is now Grade II*-listed. It was refurbished in 2005. Vi s i t t h e Courthouse between 2 pm and 4 pm every Sunday between April and October (not Easter Sunday), admission free

one’s spirits with his witty observations on life. He loved his food, which put him firmly into Agnes’ good books. “What a delicious treacle pudding,” he declared, giving Agnes a friendly cuddle. “It’s only cupboard love,” she told him good-humouredly. “You’d dance to a different tune if there was no food to colour your feelings.” Digby’s tragic death shocked everybody. He was driving the carriage alone down the steep hill in Beaconsfield Road when the horses shied, the conveyance lurched and he was rocketed into a tree. Digby died instantly. The voice started a

years. At first they were a joy to serve but as the family grew it became a wearying chore. Originally there was just architect Mr Hamble, his wife Mary and baby Doris along with two other servants at the large, neat villa in Woolton. More babies followed and by 1902 there were 10 extra mouths to feed including additional staff. By then Agnes had a kitchen maid to help her but the never-ending work over the big iron range sometimes became a living nightmare. There were lighter moments, however.

R D LOVE week after his funeral. Agnes kept preserves such as jams, marmalades and pickles in a large, wallmounted cupboard next to the basement window. Late one evening she stretched up and opened the cupboard, reaching for some damson preserve. A first Agnes thought the echoing whisper was the cooing of doves in the eaves. She listened intently and realised it was a man’s voice calling from far away. Then she recognised Digby’s distinctive boyish tones but his voice was sad, horribly sad: “It’s very cold here and I’m so hungry.” Agnes grabbed the jar and slammed the
cupboard door with a thud, dismissing the experience as imagination. The next evening the eerie voice loomed again: “I’m chilled to the marrow. I need hot food – feed me.” Not quite knowing why, Agnes went to the kitchen and smothered a large portion of treacle pudding with hot, steaming custard. She put it in the cupboard and closed the door. Within seconds she heard the slurping of voracious eating. An empty dish, licked clean, greeted her the next day. “Feed me,” the hollow voice ordered day after day and Agnes complied as if under a spell. Then came the deathly utterance: “I’m
cold, cold as the tomb. Get me one of my shirts.” She obeyed and left it neatly folded on a shelf. Agnes was not prepared for what happened the next time she opened the cupboard. As she nervously turned the handle, the doors were pushed open from within. She ducked. The cupboard was bare and the empty shirt sprang out as the voice bellowed: “Give me a cuddle!”

CROFT’S SEASON FINALLY DRAWS TO A CLOSE AND PREPARATIONS BEGIN FOR NEXT SEASON by Mick Titherington With the season extended due to the unsettled weather at the turn of the year resulting in a number of postponements, it was May 21st before Stoneycroft FC’s final game against Old Xavs. Despite a much improved performance, the familiar story unfolded with Croft’s inability to put the ball in the net costing them dearly as Xavs converted their chances and scored twice late on to end the Croft’s season with a 2-0 defeat. The season as a whole was very disappointing: hopes for a successful campaign were reaffirmed at the start of the season but petered out as the season went on with injuries, unavailability and player turnover taking their toll. With the lack of both a settled side and some much needed luck, the season descended into a long hard struggle. Despite the results there were some sterling performances, though; captain Paul Finnegan performed at a consistently high standard as did Liam Currie. Mick Williams was an extremely beneficial and welcome addition, bringing speed and class to the team, and was sorely missed when injured towards the end of the season. John Bowers, although also injury hit, made a positive contribution and Mark Flanagan had a good
season and was missed when not available. Paul Carruthers, Mike Kinney, Carl Donohue, Adam Beckett, Kev Moss, Simon Baker and Steve Dowd were all regular and committed performers while the recovering Eddie Baker is making good progress and is nearly back to his best. All the players who have taken part during this difficult season are to be thanked for their efforts and we wish all those players still recovering from injury a speedy recovery and hope that they are able to participate fully in the forthcoming campaign. Manager John Leary deserves a special mention for the way he has conducted himself during the course of the season. He has dealt effectively with all the problems he has encountered in a calm and confident manner. His commitment and tireless efforts have remained undiminished and the committee are extremely grateful to him. As soon as the season ended he was looking forward to next season, preparing and organising pre-season training and friendlies. As the old cliche goes “There’s always next season”! The Vets’ side provided one reason to be cheerful, however, gaining promotion to the First Division of the Vets section of the IZingari Combination at their first attempt - we congratulate them on this and wish them well in the top flight.

SOUTH BACK AT STEP 7 by Jim Stanway South Liverpool FC’s second successive league title has now earned the club a place in the first division of the West Cheshire League and the necessary ground improvements have been completed in time. A 78-point total, with only two
defeats in the league, provided a 4-point margin over runners-up Mallaby and a 27-point margin from third-placed Maghull Reserves. Indeed, South completed a whole league season unbeaten away from home meaning that, having also remained unbeaten in the league the previous season, the club remain

unbeaten away from home in the West Cheshire League. The feat of winning the 3rd and 2nd division titles in successive seasons is a West Cheshire League record. Having been initially denied the Youth Division title due to a 3-point deduction, the club’s youth team were eventually awarded the league title following a successful appeal against the points deduction. This was the club’s second success in the Youth Division which, again, is a West Cheshire

League record. Congratulations go to manager Stuart Yarwood who had built the team up over four years or so but he has now left the club in order to manage the reformed Cheshire Lines FC in the Liverpool County Premier League. The club staged its annual Player of the Season event on 15 June at which the club paraded the George Law Trophy, the award given to the West Cheshire League club of the season. This is the second successive season that the club has been given this prestigious trophy, awarded for success on the pitch together with progress off the pitch and evidence of the club being wellrun. The first team’s success has earned them a place in the Bill Weight cup, a pre-season tournament involving the league’s three divisional champions and the first division league cup winners, and the team have been drawn away to first division champions Heswall in the semi-final to be played on 5 August. The final will be played at West Kirby FC on 10 August with the league season starting on 14 August. The youth team for next season will be last season’s under16s who, managed by Mark Eyres and Dave Byrne, won the Tuebrook Junior League. The team have some big boots to fill but the signs are good that they will continue to enjoy the success already achieved by previous youth teams at South.
