While Larrys sister, Joan, was visiting, we made a visit to Furness Abbey, which is quite close to our Ward House in Barrow. It was an immense structure as can be seen in the pictures. I especially like the Choir seats. The structure was built in the 1300's and destroyed while Henry the Eighth was trying to do away with all things Catholic. At one time they ruled most of the Barrow Peninsula. The stream provided their cooking water as well as being their latrine. Nice, eh?
