Ellenbrook / Ellen Brook

No individual entry found for The Victoria County History (Lancaster, vol. 4, 1911) notes: "The Abbot of Stanlaw, as rector of Eccles, between 1272 and 1295, granted his licence to Richard de Worsley to have a free chantry in his chapel of Worsley, provided that no loss was caused to the mother church [...] There is no continuous record of the chapel's existence [...] The fate of the chapel in the Reformation period is uncertain, but as the lords of Worsley appear to have conformed to the Elizabethan system without difficulty, service was probably continued in it with but little interruption [...] Since 1854 this chapel has been held with St. Mark's, Worsley, which was built by the first Earl of Ellesmere and opened in 1846". Not clear whether or not a font existed in the original chapel, or one of its later iterations before 1725.
