IN THE Churches and Chapels of Lancashire, TAKEN IN THE YEAR A.D. 1552. EDITED BY HENRY FISHWICK, F.S.A. FROM MATERIALS COLLECTED BY JOHN EGLINGTON BAILEY, F.S.A. PART III.—AMOUNDERNESS & LONSDALE HUNDREDS. PRINTED FOR THE CHETHAM SOCIETY. INTRODUCTION. Τ HE Inventories of Goods in the churches and chapels in the Hundred of Salford, edited by the late John Eglington Bailey, F.S.A., formed the cvii. volume of the First Series of the Publications of the Chetham Society. A second volume, referring to the Churches in West Derby, Blackburn, and Leyland Hundreds, was issued in 1888 (vol. cxiii.), when a hope was expressed that Mr. Bailey would at a future date be able to edit the Inventories for the Hundreds of Amounderness and Lonsdale. This hope was not realized, although the MS. for the volume was almost complete, and the portion referring to Preston had been set up in type. The materials thus prepared by the late Mr. Bailey, with the addition of a few notes, are now printed, and thus complete the work. It is possible, however, that in some unexplored quarter some of the missing Inventories may be yet discovered. |
