Whalley, Accrington Road 1901

More about this scene
The T-junction and the church are just ahead. Whalley had an abbey once, and that fact distracts from the importance of the church here. The church of St Mary and All Saints has ancient crosses in the churchyard and a thousand years of history. In the grounds it has a sundial from the 1700s. The biggest problem for visitors to Whalley today is where to park. The abbey and its grounds have passed through many hands since being seized by Henry VIII, but it is now back in the hands of the church. Much of the pulled-down abbey found its way into the church, including the misericords.
