Chap. 11.] PARISH OF GOOSNARGH. 237 



Dean House Chapel. 

 An old Eornan Catholic Chapel formerly stood near Dean House, 

 Whittingham. It was pulled down in 1840. Over one of the doors 

 ■was the following inscription : — 



I.H.S. 

 1611 ^ E.I.E.L. 



It was probably a private Chapel, and the letters E.I.E.L. refer to the 



owners of the place. There was also a wooden cross, now at the Hill 



Chapel. 



Newhouse Chapel. 



There is also a Eoman Catholic Chapel at Newsham, commonly 

 called Newhouse Chapel. Over the doorway is inscribed :— 



MDCCCVI. 

 In hoc Signo Vinces. 

 List of Priests. 

 1740 Eev. John Carter. 

 1762 Eev. James Carter. 

 1812 Eev . Henry Maudesley. 

 1826 Eev. J. B. Marsh.

1868 Eev. Pierce Powel. 



1 869 Eev. Austin Powel. 

 1872 Eev. John BilsboiTOW. 

 Eev. Thomas CarroU. 



The Church will hold about 300 people. 



A School was erected in 1863; the average attendance being 



about 35. 



An interesting history attaches to Newhouse, which has been well 

 told by GiUow in his recently published "Hay dock Papers" :— 

 Facing the entrance to the pretty little Chapel at Nawhouse, Newsham, were 

 two table-monuments, which have recently been desecrated by havmg their 

 supports removed, in order to increase the width of the pathway, and to aUow 

 people to walk over and deface the inscriptions. The one covered the remains of 

 the Haydocks, of Leach Hall, and the other the Haydooks, of the Tagg.-' 



>"It is to be hoped," adds Mr. J. dition,_ and aUowed to remain ^ a 



Gillow " that these two tombstones memorial of the breaking downof in- 



will be restored to their original con- tolerance. (Seepage 2i\).)
