From the Grist Yate, by the main road to Roch dale, a winding horse-way, paved with stones set on edge, led down the steep bank and pointed to the sequestered spot where for ages the clack of the hopper and the plash of the mill wheel had usurped a noisy and undisputed possession.

Two or three of the brethren were sitting on a bench in the gateway. In passing by, the foremost of the strangers hastily addressed his follower.

Farewell, rewards and fairies!Good housewives now may say;For now foule sluts in dairies, Doe fare as well as they: And though they sweepe their hearths no lessThan mayds were wont to doe, Yet who of late, for cleaneliness, Finds sixe-pence in her shoe?" -Percy's Reliques. The ancient mansion of Healey Hall was a cumbrous inconvenient dwelling of timber; but the spirit of improvement having gone forth in the reign of Elizabeth, an ordinary hall-house of stone was erected, about the year 1620, by Oliver Chadwick. On the south front was a projecting wing and three gables, with a large hall-window. The north front had two gables only, with a projecting barn. The north entrance, covered by a porch, was a thorough passage, answering to the screens of a college, having on one side the hall and parlour beyond; on the other were the kitchen, buttery, &c. On the river below was a corn-mill; this and a huge barn being necessary appendages to the hospitable mansions and plentiful boards of our forefathers. Over the front door was this inscription- C. C. DOC. T: R. C: I. C. A. C: R. B.ANO. DOM'I. 1168. About the year 1756 the east wall gave way, and a considerable fishure appeared on the outside. This event was considered by many as the usual foretokening that its owner, Charles Chadwick, of Healey and Ridware, would speedily be removed by death from the seat of his ancestors; and so it proved, for in the course of a few months he died at Lichfield, aged eighty-two. His great age, though, will be thought the more probable token, the surer presage of approaching dissolution.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lancashire Legends: Selected From Roby's "Traditions of Lancashire" Our hope in preparing this volume has been to bring back to Lancashire people a portion of a book which ought, we believe, to be familiar to them. We have not hesitated to abridge many passages and to recast others. Roby's style, generally digni fied and even beautiful at times, is often too slow and too diffuse: he uses too many words, and his words are frequently too long. We have thought that even for studious and leisurely readers the stories might gain point and power if they were made shorter; and we have had it, as part of our ambition, to attract readers, who being young may be neither studious nor leisurely; and these we trust will forgive us for what we have done, and thank Roby for what he did long ago.

This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Popular Traditions of Lancashire, Vol. 1 of 3 Under the title of Traditions of Lancashire, the Author of these volumes published, in the year 1829, a collection of popular tales current in that county, illustrative, in a peculiar manner, of its history. It was so favourably re ceived that a second edition was almost immediately called for, and after some delay published. A Second Series also, in two volumes, which followed them in 1831, met with success equally satisfactory. Both works were noticed in highly flattering terms by the leading journals, and by Sir Walter Scott, whose approbation is no common eulogy, in his Tales of the Crusaders, and in his history of Demon ology and Witchcraft. But the cost of these publications, arising from the expensive nature of their illustrations, was much too high to allow of their becoming as gene rally known, perhaps, as the Author could have desired. It was intimated to him that no production could have a stronger claim upon the English reader than a series of the genuine and popular tales of England, such as he had commenced.
