The Tubular is the CLIO SEST Skim

| Old Slingsby, the last human link
between to-day and Pedlington's great
past, who died last year. aged 1903,
used to tell how when new parson
was appointed to Pedlington he would
find on his lawn in the morning after
his arrival a goodly tub of spirits or
a keg of tobacco or box OF tea or
of rice, with scrawled intimation
that as long as he was deaf and blind

and many generations of Pedlington
parsons found it worth their while to
acquiesce. 1t was old Slingsby who
pointed out an altar tomb in the
church, the emblazoned side of which,
being removed. revealed a descent in
to the vaults below, where collins and
kegs stood side by side. and who told
of the new parson who was puzzled
at the constant smell of tobacco dur

that on Sundays there was usually a
larger congregation under the church
