Council (BUDC) for 25 years and Chairman in 1921/22; much concerned with
Education, (Governor of the County High School for Girls in Macclesfield,
Correspondent Manager of Water Street Council School); Health Care, (joint

the Bollington and Pott Shrigley Infirmary Committee launched an appeal:
The Lucas Warburton Memorial Fund and the trustees included Governors of
the Macclesfield Infirmary. What happened to this fund is not known but I
do know the appeal was made direct to 1800 homes in the district. [44],[141]
