JOHN MORGAN,searching for Country- side news, finds a village of Methuselahs. Pictures by FREDERIC G. ROPER.
Thorpe ArnolD is a hamlet one-and-a-half Tmiles north-east of Melton Mowbray, Leicester.
shire.
- Its folk claim the English record for longevity and challenge any other place of equal size in the country to prove them wrong.
Recently we went to see Tharpe Arnold for ourselves.
It has 28 houses and 166 inhabitants.
Cottages and farmhouses cluster round the ancient church at whose font, believed to be the oldest in the Kingdom, infants were being christened as long ugo as the early years of the Twelfth Century,
The ages of the 13 oldest inhabitants total more than 1,000 years. Together they have lived longer than the reputed Methuselah!
Quo is the parish priest, another is his handyman. All have been among the country's most industrious citizena.
One keeps a little shop to eke out the slender carn. ings of a crippled linsband; another has given 60 years to the care of sheep, and is still shepherding.
One has been the mother of 14, another is a grand- mother with a shrewd tongue in a wise hond.
There is neither public-house nor Post Office in the parish; maia water and a sewerage system have
yet to come.
Miss Mary Shipman (70) plays the organ in the church and has missed anly two services in 14 years.
