Downham has remained under ownership of same ancestral family for 500 years
A village has been left frozen in time with no TV aerials, satellite dishes or road signs in a bid to preserve its historic character. Downham in Lancashire has remained under the ownership of the same ancestral family for the last 500 years.
It’s the family’s policy to rent local cottages to people who want to be a part of the community, ensuring no second home buyers leave properties vacant for much of the year. The 1961 movie Whistle Down The Wind starring Hayley Mills was filmed in the village. The Downham ice cream shop still sells memorabilia linked to the film, including chocolate bars wrapped in famous scenes.
“It’s just a lovely little village and we get lots of visitors here who say it’s so beautiful, yet you’ve got a bustling town like Clitheroe less than ten minutes away.”

Evidence from the first Shared Medical Appointments (SMAs) randomised controlled trial in India: SMAs increase the satisfaction, knowledge, and medication compliance of patients with glaucomaIn Shared Medical Appointments (SMAs), patients with similar conditions meet the physician together and each receives one-on-one attention. SMAs can improve outcomes and physician productivity. Yet privacy concerns have stymied adoption. In physician-deprived nations, patients’ utility from improved access may outweigh their disutility from loss of privacy. Ours is to our knowledge the first SMA trial for any disease, in India, where doctors are scarce. In a 1,000-patient, single-site, randomized controlled trial at Aravind Eye Hospital, Pondicherry, we compared SMAs and one-on-one appointments, over four successive visits, for patients with glaucoma. We examined patients’ satisfaction, knowledge, intention-to-follow-up, follow-up rates, and medication compliance rates (primary outcomes) using intention-to-treat analysis. Of 1,034 patients invited between July 12, 2016 –July 19, 2018, 1,000 (96.7%) consented to participate, and were randomly assigned to either SMAs (NSMA=500) or one-on-one appointments (N1-1=500). Patients who received SMAs showed higher satisfaction (MeanSMA=4.955 (SD 0.241), Mean1-1=4.920 (SD 0.326); difference in means 0.035; 95% CI, 0.017–0.054, p=0.0002) and knowledge (MeanSMA=3.416 (SD 1.340), Mean1-1=3.267 (SD 1.492); difference in means 0.149; 95% CI, 0.057–0.241, p=0.002) than patients who received one-on-one appointments. Across conditions, there was no difference in patients’ intention-to-follow-up (MeanSMA=4.989 (SD 0.118), Mean1-1=4.986 (SD 0.149); difference in means 0.003; 95% CI, -0.006–0.012, p=0.481) and actual follow-up rates (MeanSMA=87.5% (SD 0.372), Mean1-1=88.7% (SD 0.338); difference in means -0.012; 95% CI, -0.039–0.015, p=0.377). Patients who received SMAs exhibited higher medication compliance rates (MeanSMA=97.0% (SD 0.180), Mean1-1=94.9% (SD 0.238); difference in means 0.020; 95% CI, 0.004–0.036, p=0.013). SMAs improved satisfaction, learning, and medication compliance, without compromising follow-up rates or measured cl
