You will find such ranges of crosses in the parishes of Aughton, Ormskirk, and Burscough Priory, and at each a prayer for the soul of the departed was offered or the De profundis sung.

But Dean Burscough he was very set on the Gothic period, and nothing would serve him but everything must be made agreeable to that.
