BOOTLE.
The scenery round this place is so varied and interesting,
as to make it matter of surprise that it is not oftener
visited, especially by those who have leisure. The church is
a small structure dedicated to Saint Michael, having within
a monumental brass plate, representing the effigy of Sir
Hugh Askew, 'late of the seller of Edward VI,' who was
knighted at the battle of Musselburgh, in 1547, and died in
1562. The font is remarkable, and is of black marble, of an
octagonal shape, having shields, and an inscription in black
letter characters.

SETON NUN.
Whilst at Bootle, the antiquarian may visit the ruins of a
priory of Benedictine nuns, called the Nunnery of Lakelay,
near Seaton Hall, which was formerly the seat of Sir Henry
Askew, to whom the priory was granted in 1542, being then
valued at £12 12s. per annum. There are some remains
of the conventical church, with lancet-shaped windows.
