Cockersand Abbey is a former abbey and former civil parish near Cockerham in the City of Lancaster district of Lancashire, England. It is situated near the mouth of the River Cocker.

History

It was founded before 1184 as the Hospital of St Mary on the marsh belonging to Leicester Abbey. It was refounded by the Cambro-Norman magnate, Theobald Walter, 1st Baron Butler, as a Premonstratensian priory in 1190. It was subsequently elevated to an abbey in 1192. It also continued as a hospital.[1] The Abbey was originally located in marsh land which was later drained, becoming known as St. Mary's of the Marsh.[2]

The abbey was the third richest in Lancashire when it was dissolved in 1539 and acquired by a John Kechyn in 1544.[3] The site is now adjacent to a farm house and the only significant relic is the still intact, vaulted Cockersand Abbey chapter house, which was built in 1230 and used as a family mausoleum by the Daltons of Thurnham Hall during the 18th and 19th centuries.[4] The land was acquired by the Daltons shortly after 1556, when Robert Dalton married Ann Kitchen[5] There are some scrappy remains of the church adjacent. A tradition that the medieval choir stalls in the nearby Lancaster Priory originated from here has been discredited.Шаблон:Citation needed

The chapter house is a Grade I listed building and scheduled ancient monument. In 2007 English Heritage made an £80,000 grant to the owner to help preserve the building.[4] The chapter house is open to the public on special occasions such as Heritage Open Days.

Roman statuettes

Two Roman statuettes were discovered on Cockersand Moss near the abbey site in 1718, possibly indicating the presence of a Romano-British shrine nearby. One statuette of Mars, which was art of Lord Arundel's collection that William Stukeley exhibited in 1719 to the Society of Antiquaries was an inscription which has been recorded as Шаблон:Lang. The second, smaller and inferior quality, statuette was reported as containing the inscription Шаблон:Lang.[6][7][8][9]
