Andrew Thomas talks to John Bateson, whose interests in history and politics ensure he is passionate about history – but who also wants to ensure people are looked after well in the present and future. John Bateson is firmly rooted in the Kendal and Oxenholme area. One of his ancestors, Thomas, moved to Old Hutton from Bentham in 1732 and three of John’s four grandparents were born in Kendal. John, 66, was born at the former Helme Chase Maternity Hospital and grew up at his parents’ house at Bolefoot in Oxenholme, where he still lives. His father worked at Oxenholme station, which partly inspired John’s lifelong interest in the railways. He has a large collection of railway photographs, many from the steam era, showing locomotives, but also revealing how Oxenholme as a village has developed over the years.
