I don't have much time to work on this article right now, however I found the above sources if someone else wants to work them into the article. Road Wizard ( talk) 20:21, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Whitsuntide was an ecclesisiastical holiday in the whole of the country but as the festivities died out elsewhere it grew in importance in the manufacturing towns of the north west. Processions were also held in Lancaster. Traditionally the Whit walks in Manchester were on Monday for the Anglicans and Friday for the Catholics. I do have a number of newspaper references for all this. Can I suggest that the scope of this article is expanded and the name is changed to something like "Whitsuntide festivities in the north west of England" or something similar?

In recent times the Anglican and Roman Catholic processions have taken place on different days in the week. citation needed [1] [2] Whitwalk search The above search produced a number of articles on the Anglican processions but no recent ones for the Roman Catholic ones. Please add if you know of any.-- Felix Folio Secundus ( talk) 08:41, 14 April 2010 (UTC) P.S.
