WITH reference to the question about the Westhoughton Carol (Bolton Evening News, December 2), I can assure Pat Heald of Middleton there is such a carol.
My mother, who was born in 1910, had a copy, words and music. She said she used to sing it at school, so it is an old carol.
As she was getting on in years she decided that she didn't want it to get lost or misplaced so she took it to the Westhoughton Parochial School and gave it to the headmaster or music teacher in the hope that perhaps the children might sing it in a carol concert.
If they have ever sung it I don't know, but it's about 20 years since she gave it to the school.
