aittiitively examined wore the ancient cliurcliyard crosses which stand to tho south of Uie iliur.h. The most westerly cross was det-ci'lbed by the Vicar, wlu, said that it sliowwl evidence of Scaiuliiiavian inlluencc. and therefore could not ho placed before alanit tho year 900 at tho very earliest. The face is divided into six paiiehs, containing, from the top. .scrollwork, a bird, a .saint, a beast, and scrollwork in the two at the Ixittoin. The sides wore similarly carved, hot the weathering on the hack 1ms been so severe that it is not easy to make out. whether it w.as also decorated so lavishly. Tlie cross nearest to the south door of the chltrch wa.s next, explained. It was, in the \ icar’s oiiinioii, of the lirst half of the eleventh cen­ tury, and might, on clo.ser examination, pos­ sibly prove to bo of a date subsequent to the Norman Coiiqin'st. It is a striking inonu- ineiit, di'coraled wdtli a pattern which is in­ tended to reprc«ent a tree growing out of a hilloek. Tho third sliaft is by far the most weatheri'd of tho three, and except, in cer­ tain lights it is deciphered with difficulty. Tid.s also was allocaUxI to tho early years of the teniii ccntuiy, tho head being medieval, and probably brought from .some otlie.r site,

contrary to tlio constitution of tho Cistercian Order. During the progress of tho building of tha Abbey of AMiaJloy, which was not com- l^lctcd till 143S—142 years after they left btonlaw—thcro were bickerings and disputes witll patrons and occlcsinstical authorities which put the convent to great oxponsc, and at ono time they oven wont so far as to ask for a second translation on account of tho de­ ficiency in timber, tho disfavour of tho pcoplo, and tho iiroximity of tlio murmuring monks of Sawloy. A grant of Toxtotli, near Liver­ pool, was made to them by Thomas, Earl of Lanca.stor, but they aftera'ards tliought l.ettor of their determination and went on with tho building of "Wnmlley Abbey, Tho erection of the conventual churcli was begun in 1330, tho sCoiio being brought from quarries at llead( Simonstoiio and Ihllington.
