Notes:

Richard was baptised as Richard Lewthwaite [illegitimate], mother Isabella Lewthwaite, single Mother. but the name Quirk was used as his name as early as the 1871 census when he was 4 . .The only connection found to connect him to his father Richard Caeser Quirk, is a newspaper article in which Richard Lewthwaite Quirk gave evidence in court that he was a nephew of William Charles Roper Quirk, Brother of his father, and son of Richard Quirks Snr. this would seem to say that Richard Caeser Quirk was his father. But there is a story which says his father is Richard Quirk Snr, father of both Richard Caeser Quirk and William Roper Quirk who had an affair with a barmaid/servant, called Isabella Jane Lewthwaite. and is in fact the father of Richard Lewthwaite. Both stories remain unproven.

BELLS AND BELL RINGING

The Chief Ringer.
Mr John Eachus, a veteran in the tunefull art, has in his time rung on most of the church peals throughout the length and breadth of the land. Here in the north no man is better known or more highly esteemed than he among the genial brotherhood. Of spare build and medium height, he is a Cheshire man, having been born at Sandbach sixty-five years ago. He performed his first "peal" - a "peal" on the bells comprizes over five thousand distinct changes - at the age of eighteen, and in 1870 he came to Manchester Cathedral, where he has been in active service ever since. Seven years later the Town Hall in Albert Square was opened, and on the occasion of the inauguration of the new municipal peal, one of the finest in the country, Mr Eachus made one of the party which rang out the first cheery message to the city. For several years he discharged the duties of branch secretary of the Lancashire Association of Change Ringers, and for a time held office as vice-president. Up to date he has to his credit some two hundred "peals" not to speak of innumerable "touches" and "flourishes", as the ringing of anything fewer than five thousand changes are called. You can see almost at a glance that he deeply loves the art. To see him stepping on the narrow oake beams in the steeple from which the Cathedral bells hang, what time he chats informingly about them if you are in the humour to listen to him, comes as a refreshing experience. In theory as well as practice he is an adept, the works of the master minds, those who have written upon or composed "methods" for the brazen orchestra, having been studied by him.
For a livelihood Mr Eachus plies the gentle contemplative craft of bootmaking, one of the old school in that line and I warrent as he bends over his work its tedium is relieved by memories of ringing exploits and thoughts of the beauties and infinate possibilities of the art, and the achievements of its proffessors. Of one of those achievements a signal instance is recorded. An enthusiastic band attached to a church in the south desired two bells to be added to the peal of eight. The request was made to the vicar, who replied that when all the changes possible on the eight had been rung at a sitting the additional bells would be forthcoming This ment no fewer than 40,320 changes, the time necessary for which is one day four hours. Several bands were therupon got together, and by relays they successfully carried through what seemed an impractical feet, and the promise was fulfilled.

Manchester Cathedral Peal.
It is practice night with the ringers at the Manchester Catherdral, and I join them in the steeple chamber just beneath the clock, where the bell ropes, arranged in a circle, hang loosely down from the ceiling. To reach that secluded nook you enter a door from Victoria Street, and walk along a stone passage into a dimly lit cavern below the new main entrance. In the far corner is a low portal which, by a narrow, dark, corkscrew staircase, takes you into the lofty square chamber. Here are Mr John Eachus leader of the Cathedral band, and his devoted pupils. Coats off, they stand in a ring, each by his rope, several of them slightly elevated from the floor on boxes, and one after the other the peal of ten is made ready for work. At a given signal a preparatory round is sounded from the high treble to the deep tenor. Then there are a few "changes" the bells alternately leading or following each other, the time being quickened or retarded in working out the "method" in hand. Each man watches his fellows intently, whilst their leader, keeping his eye in the whole band, now and again utters a staccato word of admonition for the behoof of the novice. After a time a halt for breathing is called, and one of the perspiring ringers jokingly asks how many thousand "changes" had been accomplished. "About three houndred," is the reply of the leader. Then to it again, Mr Eachus this time taking a hand at the great tenor, and so the practice proceeds to the finish towards ten o'clock.
