The magic of the ancients lives in those grounds. It once inspired a bloke to get the Bishop to lead a march against all things evil. AHEM!

Any news on this?
I'd be surprised if there was any kind of bronze age settlement found there. The site is close to where the river Blakewater was forded by the Roman military highway from Manchester to Ribchester. In my opinion that is how and why Blackburn as a settlement began, due to the road and its fording point at "Salford". and also no doubt the "All hallows springs" which are also in the vicinity and which attracted Romanized temple builders as the apparent 18th century find of an altar stone indicates.

Lots of my de Rishton ancestors are buried there. They had a chapel and crypt in the old St Mary's church which was demolished in 1820.
