"The Church was begun by Edward, Lord Mounteagle, in consequence, as tradition reports, of a vow made on Flodden Field. The octagon tower alone, which retains his arms, encircled with the Garter, was finished by himself. It bears the following inscription:" "E. Stanley: miles : dux : Mounteagle : me : fieri : fecit." "The choir was completed by his executors in an inferior manner. In the Churchyard remains the tall base of a very singular and ancient cross, a ponderous block of freestone." "To the west of the Church is a small Catholic Chapel, the officiating priest of which is Dr. Lingard, the celebrated historian, who lives, as he has lived respected for nearly forty years, in the residence adjoining." |
