LONG LIFE AT

JOHN MORGAN, searching for Country- side news, finds a village of Methuselahs. Pictures by FREDERIC G. ROPER.

THORPE than of Melion Mowbray, Leicester.

shire,

- Ita 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 Thorpe Arnold for

ourselves.

It has 20 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 ago ne 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 thats the reputed Methuselah!

One is the parish priest, another is his handyman. All have been among the country's most industrious citizens.

One keeps a little shop to eke out the slender corn- ings of a crippled husband; 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 head.

There is neither, public-house nor Post Office in the parish; main water and a sewerage system have

yet to come.

Miss Mary Shipman (70) plays the organ in the church and has missed only two services in 14 years.

Mrs: Sarah Tinkler (70)--"Sally" to most people and as handsome now as the day she was wed, 47 years ago.

John Clayton (74) likes his garden. “My bit ends here," he says.

Mrs. Matt Clayton (77). “What does he want to take a picture for?”
