| From the
historic work
of the by the brothers, Samuel and Nathaniel Buck, Views of Ruins
of Castles & Abbeys in England, 1726-1739. Samuel and Nathaniel
Buck were the most important topographical artists of the 18th
century, creating a record of over 500 ancient monuments &
towns in England and Wales. Many of these monuments had been
devastated during the course of the Reformation, particularly
during the period when Oliver Cromwell ruled England as "Lord
Protector." The Bucks Views, as they have become known, provide an
invaluable record of these magnificent buildings, some of which
have seen further deterioration during the 275 years that have
since passed.

..Cockersand Abbey is a former abbey near Cockerham in the City of
Lancaster district of Lancashire, England. It was founded before 1184
as the Hospital of St Mary on the marsh belonging to Leicester Abbey.
It was refounded as a Premonstratensian priory and subsequently
elevated to an abbey in 1192. It also continued as a hospital. The
abbey was dissolved in 1539 and acquired by a John Kitchen. The site is
now adjacent to a farm house and the only significant relic is the
still intact, vaulted 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.
