A Pennine Parish - The History of Cliviger is a must for anyone who hasn't read the book by the late Titus Thornber. I wouldn't advise anyone to steal but if you can beg or borrow it will take the reader through a fascinating period of Cliviger's history.

First published in 1987 the book travels from the time when Cliviger was clothed in dense rain forests in a tropical environment to the bronze-age civilisation. It covers a period through the development of the area during the past centuries right up to later part of the late1900's. Titus, author, historian and farmer graduated in engineering at Manchester University in 1935 and in 1947 went to live at Middle Pasture farm in Cliviger which was his home until he died in 2006 aged 92 years. Someone I am sure will unlock their safe and loan a copy of this fascinating book providing it is returned in a sound condition as they have now become a "collector's item".
