| Eccles (parish) | Eccles (Parish) | Continued | The ancient Nunnery, from the investigations of the Rev Mr Murray, appears to have occupied a square of 6 acres. The only remains if it are a wall, which forms part of the east gable of the mansion house, & two vaulted cells contiguous to the churchyard. On the west side of the ruin, there is a large arched gate or doorway 9 feet 8 inches high and 6 feet 1 inch broad & within this there is part of a ruined stair, and the door of the south cell, which is 6 feet 4 inches high, and 3 feet 1 inch broad. The cell itself is 22 feet 3 inches by 12 feet 6 inches, & 10 feet 9 inches high. The walls are 3 feet 9 inches in thickness. The north cell is similar, but less. The parish church is situated about a mile from the western side of the parish, and is therefore not so conveniently placed as it might be. It is a large spacious building, furnished with a handsome spire |
