Heber C. Kimball had a dream about an old barren field and cows trampling upon the new seed in the grass land. The interpretation of this dream was that the Minister of the village of Ribchester was leading the young saints astray and consequently Heber C. Kimball went back to Ribchester and repaired the damage.
The village of Downham was said to be a godless place and yet the early missionaries felt prompted to go there and had great success. An interesting fact is that the town decided that they would have no visible modern technology thus all their telephone wiring and other displays of modern technology are all underground. Another special feature of the town is that they won “loo of the year” for their unique design of converting old sheep stalls into male toilets.
The village is in the shadow of Pendle Hill which has religious significance to the Quakers, Methodists, and Latter-day Saints. The founder of the Quaker religion had a vision on top of Pendle Hill that directed him to like-minded people and they founded the Society of Friends. Similarly the Methodists and the Latter-day Saints has religious communes with Heavenly Father atop of Pendle Hill.
