Interesting Yoller.

I find it strange that the Earls of Lincoln were buried there. It must have been of some great importance as an Abbey and there must have been a good reason for it being their burial place. Maybe because they were Barons of Halton. Sir John de Lacy 1st Easrl also died at Stanlaw. Don't know about the others
Just realised, the Earls of Lincoln were Constables of Chester. (De Lacy)

Techgran; I have sent you a pm.

Thanks Granny for all your efforts.
The Abbey was founded by the de Lacys and they stipulated that they were to be buried there. The founder - Henry, I think- established it as a kind of spiritual security as he was going off to fight in the crusades but was unfortunately killed there any way. All the remains of the de Lacy's were removed to Whalley and reburied. The remaining bones were the monks that had died there, the abbots in lead-lined coffins. These were not all discovered until early 19th C. The abbot of the remaining cell was definitely Robert Haworth who had been abbot during the better times of the abbey (and then retired) and he requested to remain after the transfer and become abbot again.
A lot of this is well documented in Whitaker and Dugdale both of which are available online.
Hope you find it as interesting as I do.

I remember in the 1960's, my father worked at the REFINERY?? Not sure if that has any relation to this one. He was a specialised electrician and used to get called in all the time, at all hours. Mostly they would send a car for him, all hours. I moved to Aus in 1970 so never got to interogate him.
