Mason Gillibrand Architects have been in practice since 1986 and work over the North of England, North Wales and the Scottish Borders. We have developed a regional reputation for inspirational design in some of the most sensitive locations, often working on traditional, historic buildings.
We have a particular reputation for the following:-
Working on old properties, particularly Listed Buildings
Altering or creating quality private housing
Distinct and bespoke designs
High quality housing developments
Complicated planning applications, particularly involving rural locations, and listed buildings
Working in sensitive locations and rural landscapes i.e. National Parks
Integration of renewable energies
We take an holistic approach to all of our design work, starting with the very fundamental aspects of how a site and building are situated within their context and their orientation. We are passionate about the design process and engaging with our clients to fully understand how buildings are used and how they might be improved.
Unlike many practices of our type, we have an in-house Mechanical Services Engineer who can advise on Renewable Energy options for each individual project. This means we can offer an independent view on the suitability of each 'green' technology for a particular site or building. For more information on this, click to view the MGA Environmental page.
We are able to help clients achieve their aspirations from conception to completion, from master planning and feasibility to interior detailing.
If you want to discuss your aspirations for a project you will find our details on the Contact tab below.

Steve Wadsworth has been appointed as the new landlord and brings with him over 25 years experience within the pub industry.

RGB Physiotherapy and sports injuries clinic can treat musculo-skeletal injuries including low back and neck pain, sciatica, osteoarthritis, muscle injury, post fracture and post surgical rehabilitation, sports and work related injuries and many more. RGB Physiotherapy will always treat the cause of your problem and not just your symptoms, decreasing the risk of recurrent injury. You will also benefit from 45 minute treatment sessions therefore allowing time for hands on treatment as well as exercise prescription. If you have pain and want to get back to the activities you love, give Rob Barker a call today to book an appointment.
Shiatsu is a massage system involving the stimulation of acupressure points following the ancient theories of Traditional Oriental Medicine. This is the same theory used by acupuncturists but in shiatsu the needles are replaced by finger-pressure, and modern massage techniques from physiotherapy and sports massage are also used as required.
Shiatsu is suitable for everyone and is regularly used to treat symptoms including:
PAIN ~ back, neck, shoulder, joint, and muscular pains. Injuries and internal or non-specific pains
DISCOMFORT ~ headaches, digestive problems, rashes, breathing problems, women’s problems
STRESS ~ depression, anxiety, worry, blood pressure problems, emotional and mental confusion
POOR HEALTH ~ lack of physical or mental energy, low immunity to colds and flu’s, or a general feeling of being run-down
A session typically lasts for one hour though the first one may be longer to allow a detailed case history to be taken.
The shiatsu will usually take place on a padded futon on the floor, on a massage table or on a special massage chair if lying is uncomfortable. You will remain fully clothed throughout and should find the experience both deeply relaxing yet invigorating.
Martin is an experienced therapist who has been working with shiatsu for more than 15 years. He trained with the European School of Shiatsu in London, and is a member of the Register of the Shiatsu Society, following their codes of ethics and conduct.
Martin also uses the following techniques in his practice and these may be requested individually if needed:
Cupping, Sotai, Moxibustion, Waveform, Pelvic Correction, Postural Correction, Seiki, Qi Kung, Tai Chi, On-site Massage.
All available in Caton, Brookhouse and surrounding areas, and at Lancaster University (discounts available for staff and students)

Steve Croft Driving School is a friendly professional driving school, offering affordable and highly recommended driving lessons in Lancaster, Morecambe and the Lune Valley.
Learn to drive in a friendly, relaxed, learning environment . All lessons are tailored to meet each persons individual needs, and all lessons are on a one to one basis. If you are a beginner, and have never driven before, you will drive on your first driving lesson. The independent driving aspect of the test is also incorporated into the training, giving you the confidence you need to pass the driving test. Nervous pupils are especially welcome.
Lessons are in a Ford Fiesta which is fitted with dual controls.
I also offer refresher lessons for those drivers who perhaps passed their test some time ago, but have not had the chance to get much driving experience since, motorway lessons and also Pass Plus, which can lower your insurance cost after you pass your driving test, and will help you become a safe driver for life.
All my driving lessons include door-to-door service and flexible lesson times. I'm always aware that times are hard and money is tight, so I try to keep my prices as low as possible, while still offering a quality service. Unlike some driving schools who offer low prices, but will then only actually drive for about half the lesson, and talk for the other half (to save fuel costs!!), with me you will drive for the entire lesson. I also offer block booking discounts, student discounts, as well as NHS staff discount.

The Caton and Brookhouse Gardening Club was founded, way back in 1882, with the rather grand sounding name of The Caton and District Floral and Horticultural Society, in order to foster an interest in horticulture and to provide a community of interest in the district.
In the early days it had a full committe of very knowledgeable people and flourished as a genuine 'Horticultural Society', the centrepiece of it’s annual calendar being a full blown 'mini Chelsea' Show.
Unfortunately, over the last decade or so of 20th century, the experienced members of the committee were becoming very thin on the ground and those who were left were 'slowing down', as happens to all of us as we age, so staging the show was becoming more and more difficult. At the same time the Society experienced difficulties recruiting people on to the commitee, and, sadly, it slowly started to die. Despite the efforts of Chairman Moyra Loads (wife of the late Fred Loads, one time committee member of the Society), for a short time, the Society was virtually dormant.
In 1998, Moyra's efforts to resurrect the Society finally bore fruit. The members of the old committee handed over to a new band of people who, while they were enthusiastic, lacked the skills of the old guard. Consequently, while the Society's official title is still The Caton and District Floral and Horticultural Society, it now operates in a much less formal way and, since 2004, under the less intimidating name of The Caton and Brookhouse Gardening Club. George Woodend became chairman and Moyra Loads was awarded life membership.
The Caton and Brookhouse Gardening Club has settled down and is thriving on a fairly fixed annual programme of events, most of which are held in the Victoria Institue in Caton at 7:30pm on the second Thursday in any month. In addition to the annual programme, committee members maintain the planters, millenium trees and the seat outside the old library.
Annual membership costs the extortionate amount of £3.50! This is payable at the AGM which is held on the second Thursday in April and starts our year which looks something like this:
May
Sees us holding our annual Plant Sale and Coffee Morning - usually on the first or second Saturday morning. We buy in plants from a local nursery and, with just a modest mark up, sell them on. This provides a service for the local community and helps us to stock our coffers which cannot manage with just a £3.50 annual subscription. We also sell plants donated by both our members and generous members of the public and, for the entry fee of £1.00 we provide tea/coffee/juice and some posh biscuits.
From 2016 we have expanded our Plant Sale to make it more of a Spring Fair. We now include, in addition to the plants, tables for various village organisations / schools / 'craftspeople' / people to advertise their presence and/or sell whatever they want to sell. We don't try to make a profit from them as we want to create a convivial village atmosphere: 'A Nice Morning out at the Victoria Institute'. However, we do have to cover the cost of the tables and, to date, the cost of a table has usually been around £4.50 for the morning. So. if you want a table at our next Nice Morning Out at the Victoria Insitiute, please contact our secretary.
June
On the second Thursday in June we have an Evening Trip to a garden in the area. The evening trip gardens are often, but not always, gardens from the Yellow Book. The Evening Trip usually involves our members in a tea drinking and cake eating activity as well as that of wandering round someone's garden oooohing and aaaaahing and getting ideas for our own.
Every four years or so we organise the Caton and Brookhouse Open Gardens event sometime in the last fortnight of June. This event is enjoyed as much by the people who open their gardens as the people who visit the gardens and has always been a success . . . even in the years when the heavens have opened on us! To see a slide show of the 20 gardens opened in June 2018 please click the following link: https://youtu.be/-dE4xcctKyY .
September
Is the time we host our Mini Harvest Show. This is a very informal affair for members to show off their arts. We have several classes including such things as home grown fruit and veg, some sort of baked item, a piece of craftwork with a floral theme, a flower arrangement, an indoor plant and so on. Entries are anonymous and we developed a democratic system for judging them using a voting system. Each person attending the event has one vote for every class and the winner of a class is that entry polling the most votes. We also dish up tea and posh biscuits and have a good old chin wag while the votes are being counted
October
Our Speaker Secretaries arrange for varied and interesting speakers to come to the Victoria Institute to speak to us and October sees our first 'Speaker Evening' of the year, accompanied, of course, by the ubiquitous tea and posh biscuits.
November
In November we do not invite a speaker; we have a Gardening DVD Night. This saves speaker fees and actually makes for a very pleasant occasion accompanied, of course, by, you guessed it, tea and posh biscuits.
December
In December we have a break from speakers and used to hold a Social Evening where we have a bit of fun. But this is not accompanied by tea and biscuits, this is accompanied by wine and nibbles.
As from 2019 our 'Social Evening' is being morphed into a members' question and answer evening. This is an event where we all sit round the room guzzling mince pies and drinking tea and where a member can ask a question on a problematic gardenening issue and, hopefully, receive an answer from another memeber who has already experienced and soved the issue. Watch this space.
January
Our members are usually so busy in December that we hold our annual Festive Meal in January at some local hostelry. We usually have some sort of quiz and prize to add a bit of interest as most of us are a bit jaded by the time Christmas and New Year are over!
February
Sees our second Speaker Evening, accompanied, of course, by tea and posh biscuits.
March
Sees our third and final Speaker Evening. Guess what accompanies it? Correct 🙂
And that completes the circle with in

The Annual General Meeting that starts off the following year accompanied by, no, not tea and posh biscuits, but wine and nibbles.
Entry to speaker evenings for members costs just £1.00. We have between 50 and 60 members though would welcome new members at any time of year.
Non members are welcome to our speaker evenings but for a charge of £2:00.
Oh, and incidentally, membership of the Caton and Brookhouse Gardening Club entitles a member to 10% discount at WCF in Claughton and Bay View Garden Centre in Bolton-le-Sands but . . . hold your horses . . . only on producing a current membership card and satisfactory identification.
Caton Baby and Toddler Group provides a relaxed and friendly meeting place for parents and carers with babies and small children. It is a welcome time in the week, a chance to relax and chat together while our children play. What we offer is friendship and support, with learning and fun!
We meet every Tuesday morning (term time) between 10.00 and 11.30 am in the Victoria Institute, Brookhouse Road, Caton. Babies and pre-school children with an accompanying adult are very welcome. There is plenty of space for running around, and a range of good quality toys – that means lots of opportunities to free-play, use different equipment, and interact with other children. There are regular activities too, such as our child-led sing-along, and everyone gets a drink and healthy snack.
We make a small charge every week, and there is a reduction available for those who prefer to pay in advance for a whole term. The drop-in price is £2, and this includes refreshments for both children and adults.
As our Group is led by parents and carers, and as we are with our children all the time, there is no need to become registered with OfSTED (Office for Standards in Education). However, we do have all the required insurance for running a toddler group.

The earliest record of a church or chapel on the site is before 1230. The tower dates probably from the 16th century. The rest of the church was rebuilt in 1865–67 to a design by the Lancaster architect E. G. Paley.
The church is constructed in sandstone rubble, with a slate roof. Its plan consists of a four-bay nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, a south porch, a north transept containing the organ chamber, a chancel at a lower level, and a west tower. The tower is Perpendicular in style, and has three stages, diagonal buttresses, and an embattled parapet. On the west side is a doorway, over which is a three-light window with Perpendicular tracery. The bell openings also have three lights. On the south side of the church is the porch, with four bays to the east. The bays are separated by buttresses and each contains a three-light window with Perpendicular tracery. To the left of the easternmost window is a priest's door. Along the clerestory are four windows. The east window has three lights with Perpendicular tracery. In the west wall of the north aisle is a blocked Norman doorway containing a tympanum carved with human figures. It is filled in with coffin lids and medieval cross slabs.
Our Church Hall and Club House are available for hire.

The Women’s Institute (WI) was formed in 1915 with two clear aims: to revitalise rural communities and to encourage women to become more involved in producing food during the First World War. Since then our aims have broadened and we are now the largest women’s organisation in the UK. We celebrated our 90th anniversary in 2005 and currently have 210,000 members in 7,000 WIs.
We play a unique role in providing women with educational opportunities and the chance to build new skills, to take part in a wide variety of activities and to campaign on issues that matter to them and their communities.
Caton WI is one of the oldest in the country, having been formed in 1921. We have approximately 60 members some of whom not only meet locally but are also involved in activities with the Lancashire Federation eg. the WI choir, craft workshops, quizzes, walks etc.
Caton WI normally meets on the first Thursday of the month at the Victoria Institute. Meetings usually start at 7.30pm with a short business meeting followed by a speaker. The committee try to make the programme as varied as possible in order to satisfy the varied interests of our members. We end with light refreshments and a chance to catch up on gossip!
New members are always welcome. Just turn up on the day of the meeting, and we will look out for you.

If you have a spare bedroom and the time and desire to offer practical and emotional support, you are exactly who we are looking for.
We know that a supportive, stable home environment can make a huge difference to a young person's chances of moving on successfully.
As a lodgings provider, you don't have the same responsibility as a parent or foster parent, and the young person will have their own project worker. Most lodgings are for between 8 weeks and 2 years. During this time, you'll receive a weekly payment and ongoing support from Barnardo's.
Interested? Contact Terri Wolstenholme on 07919 520977 or e-mail lancssupportedlodgings@barnardos.org.uk

The Victoria Institute houses the Community Library. After Lancashire County Council closed the Caton library in 2007, Caton Community Library Trust was established to provide a service for the people of Caton-with-Littledale Parish and the wider Lune Valley. The Victoria Institute took on the running of the Library in 2016 when the Caton Community Library Trust was dissolved. Everyone is welcome to browse and to borrow the books, all of which have been donated and include a good range of favourites and latest bestsellers.
The Community Library is open during the Institute’s normal office hours which are Monday to Friday between 9:30am and 3:00pm. The Library is maintained by Volunteers.
