LOCAL WORTHIES.

THE GRANTS. (" Cheeryble Brothers.")

Walmersley, near Ramsbottom, Lan- cashire. It is an accepted fact that Daniel and William Grant of Manchester were the prototypes of the Cheeryble Brothers in ' Nicholas Nickleby.' Dickens states in his original preface that the brothers were then alive : " Their liberal charity, their singleness of heart, their noble nature, and their unbounded benevolence are no crea- tions of the author's brain."

The tower stands on the higher part of a hill, which rises from Ramsbottom, and is about 800 feet above sea - level. It was erected by the Grant family in 1829 to commemorate the arrival of their father Wm. Grant, and his eldest son William, in the district. They gave up their farm at Strathspey in 1783, and as they reached this spot the elder Grant exclaimed : " What a beautiful valley ! It reminds me of Spey- side." "In 1827," says William the younger, " we purchased the Park estate, and erected a monument to commemorate my father's first visit to this valley, and on the very spot where he and I stood ad- miring the beautiful scenery below."

In 1914 public support was sought for a proposed restoration and much-needed re- pair of the tower.

HENRY WORKMAN.

Evesham. The fine bridge over the Avon was constructed mainly through the efforts of Mr. Workman. It cost 13.000/., towards which he obtained 3,500Z. in subscriptions. The bridge has three arches, and over the central arch is the following inscription :

" To the Public Spirit and Perseverance of Henry Workman Esq., are ascribed the origin and completion of this Bridge, which was erected in the fourth and fifth years of his Mayoralty,
