The church of ST. M./R? is situated

CHURCH onthe east side of the village and is a

modern building of red brick and stone

The building having no pretensions to antiquity is

itself uninteresting and architecturally it has little of

the appearance of a village church. It contains,

however, an alabaster slab and other fragments

belonging to the first church and some fittings

from the 18th-century structure. The slab is to

the memory of Thomas Hesketh [d. 1458] and <<<< 1438

Margaret his wife and is 6 ft. long by 3 ft. wide and

6 in. thick. It was until lately in the floor of the

nave lying north and south, in four pieces, but was

removed to the Hesketh chapel in 1907. It has

incised on it the figure of a man in armour with his

lady and underneath the figures of eleven children,

together with the coat of arms of Hesketh. ‘The

inscription runs round the slab, ‘Domine miserere

animabus Thome Hesketh et Margerie | uxoris ejus <<<< Thomas Hesketh de Hesketh

qui quidem Thomas | obijt xviij die mensis Decembris

a? d™ meccclviij: a litera dominicali.” At the

bottom are the names of eleven children—Robert,

William, Margery, Thomas, John, Hugh, William, <<<< Only one daughter?

Geoffrey, Richard, Henry and Nicholas.

3 Raines, op. cit. 160-2. Canon

Raines thought that there were several

founders, and as each priest had separate

lands he seems to be justified. On a

tomb in the chapel was a request for

prayers for the soul of Richard Hesketh,

who died in 1511, having founded a per-

petual chantry therein; Dods. MSS.

cxlix, fol. 81.
