The Seaforth News, 1928-05-17, Page 3Restoring FAnous Ruin Ruins of Whalley Abbey Ac - (paired' by Two Churches London.—Whalley Abbey, the last of the abbeys founded in Englandby the Cistercian. or White Monks, is be- ing restored to clerical use for the first time since •its last abbot was hanged, drawn and quartered in 1697. A,small part of its magnificent ruins has been acquired by Roman Catholics for conversion into a church and bur- ial ground. The rest of it has been bought by the Church of England as a place of Retreat for the new diocese of Blackburn in Lancashire. The thou- sands of tourists who roam about its abandoned buildings and grounds every year will before long find part of it 'restored., inhabited and closed to the public. The village of Whalleylies seven miles north of Blackburn, about five hours by train north of London, and the extensive grounds of the ruined s'4,- abbey come down to the fringes of ssisathe village, Used for residential and farming purposes for a century or two after Abbot John Paslew was put to death in 1587, the ruins still reveal the stern grace and the severe fitness that characterized Cistercian disci- pline. Whalley's site is typical of the re- moteness and desolation that the Cis- tercians used to favor. It is likely that in their -day the abbey had none of the trees' that new beautify its ruins. But they had the Calder, as clear and lovely a stream in that day as in this, but they diverted it from its bed in their masterful way and made it flow close beneath their walls and serve their own purposes. Since then it has been -sent back to its old course, but the course they made for it can still he seen and so can the old canal course along which they brought down from Pendia hill the immense quantities of brown stone needed for their buildings. The' ruins to -day, are extremely fragmentary. A little more than a century after Abbot Paslew's, death, the .owners of the buildings, having to defend them against Cromwell's hien, built a great rampart along the north side—which perhaps explains why no- thing now remains of the great abbey church except a minute fragment of the arch at the west end, and why the old dining hall and kitchen are entire- ly gone. Excavation in modern times has suggested the main lines of •the church. It must have been very long, and its tower, probably low and plain, like all true Cistercian towers, seems to have stood separate from the church itself. -Excavation has also brought up from beneath the green lawns the outlines, of the chapter house, the par- lor, the warming rooms, the infirmary kitchen, the foundations of sundry towers, the great outer gate on the west, the entrance gate on the north and the towers over the river on the south. Lancashire men everywhere will be glad that Whalley Abbey is saved., , • Natural Enough. "Dear, did you read that account where a woman shot a man last night?" "Gracious! Was she his wife?"

Try some of these unusual ways of cooking,' In Florida they have a delicious way oradding cocoanut to stewed chicken. Prepare the chicken as for any stew and boil gently in water to cover until tender,' about three hours. Have ready a pint of young spinach, meas- ured after cooking. Grate a medium - Bleed cocoanut or take its equivalent. in the fresh canned, pour over it a pint and a half of milk and let it standtwenty minutes, then put through a sieve. Add the spinach to the chicken let boil five minutes, then add the cocoanut milk and boil up once. Remove from the fire and add pepper and salt to taste, the latter last, to prevent any danger of curdling. Sprinkle some of the drained cocoa- nut over tire top and serve. Another splendid chicken dish is made by boiling a large chicken in Just enough water to cover -it until it is tender. Remove it from the fire and add to the water in which it was cooked two minced onions, one table- spoon of chopped red pepper, half a can of tomatoes and salt and pepper to taste. Cook this down until thick. Stuff the chicken with mashed pota- toes, moistened with gravy and two tablespoons of raisins mixed with the potato. Have you ever tried a Yankee pot. roasted chicken with cranberries? Prepare a three-pottnd chicken as for roasting, brown it first in three table- spoons of hot fat. Remove from the pan and add three cups of water, stir until boiling, then add two cups of cranberry sauce made less sweet than usual. (Canned sauce is available the year around.) Replace the chicken in the pan with this gravy -sauce, cover and proceed in the ordinary way, add- ing salt and pepper to taste when cooking is half flnisbed. Fricassee chicken with asparagus sauce is especially delightful. Boll the fowl until tender, adding a bit of chopped celery while cooking, -Cut in neat pieces for boiling, discarding all bones, and put into a double boiler to keep hot. For the sauce blend two tablespoons of butter and two of flour, add one pint of chicken stock, a slice of onion, a small slice of carrot; one bay leaf, a tiny bit of mace, a sprig of parsley and salt and pepper to taste. Heat slowly. stirring. When heated to boiling set back and simmer twenty minutes. Put the tender green heads from a bunch of asparagus In cup of boiling water with half a teaspoon of salt and hall a teaspoon of lemon juice. .Cover, boil twelve minutes, drain, rub through sieve, combine with the other part of the sauce and' heat to boiling point and serve over the fowl; Canned asparagus tips may be used.
