    That abbey looks beautiful. It was obviously massive and very prestigious in its day.
    What did it feel like to wonder the ground?
    On a trip.my sister and I took to my nieces wedding we stopped over at a cottage which was on the grounds of an abbey. Although the building was only a couple of centuries old the building was still being kept for another purpose and entry was forbidden to women. But we sat in the garden and I felt like I was in Heaven. There was a peace which was so beautiful and I felt like there were a group of Angels covering and protecting the place. I could almost hear the Gregorian chants echoing through the ethereal otherworldly realm. If I ever got the chance I would gladly go and spend more time there to cut myself off and soak in the places divine grace.

    New subscriber. There is one detail, which is little known, is that they were Drawn, Hung, and Quartered. The drawing was being dragged behind a cart, known as: ''The cart's arse.'' to the gallows, then hung, and quartered, very often attack and abused by the crowds of onlookers. I do a lot of walks myself, but was told by a friend about your site. Very interesting little docs. Cheers.

      Hi Rachel, this is a good source of info on the story - www.documentingdissent.org.uk/john-paslew/
      and i think this is similar but a good read -
      supremacyandsurvival.blogspot.com/2016/03/the-last-abbot-of-whalley-abbey-john.html
      There are a few others but those are the two I used when looking into the story. It is something we might come back to in the near future but we have loads of other stories planned this year, some similiar to this and a couple more that do involve the village of Whalley and Whalley Abbey too.

    His head on a spike on London bridge.
    His limbs took to the 4 corners of England.

    I am a descendant of his brother Thomas and the John Paslew story is well known in my family. You pronounce Paslew in a different way though but not sure which one of us is correct! Pas (rhyme with Das) loo and the name originates from the French - well that’s what we have always understood! Interesting video btw 😊

    A lovely place folks- yes Henry Tudor was a despot, a tyrant - mmmm who does that remind me of?🤔 Anyway another good one , and Vickie, don't be embarassed about your limp please- you manage it so well and you dont let it stop you, so be proud - I've got one leg shorter than the other- didn't know until a rheumatologist pointed it out! It wasnt a great difference but enough for him to refer me for orthotic shoes- couldnt cope with the bloody things, after all had gone through life without being aware of it ! Does explain though why I walk like a sailor on leave! 😂

      You made me smile reading this... Thanks Carol your a tonic. Yes 1 leg slightly longer than the other but most people do they say, but as I've always limped all my life,my body automatically does it now along with my head, so unless I'm really thinking about it when I walk, the limp will always be there. I know it's silly but you cannot help feeling the way you do about yourself. But thank you Sailor Carol. 😊😊😊❤❤❤

    Was Abbot John Paslew loyal to his Catholic faith, or was his dissent based on self-interest? whilst many in the Catholic Church reveres him as a martyr, historians are more inclined to see him in a less favourable light. One must note that in late Tudor times Whalley Abbey enjoyed relative prosperity and spent an extravagant two-thirds of its annual income on purchasing various foods and drink. Paslew himself was also responsible for the commissioning of a separate mansion, east of the great cloister. He also reconstructed his own lodgings and added a Lady Chapel. Such behaviour hardly aligns with what one would assume a Catholic abbot would believe when one looks to the Bible: (Luke 12:15 - And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.), leading to some historians claiming that Paslew’s dishonest behaviour means that despite his position as a martyr to the Catholic faith, the ability to deem him admirable is limited

      John Paslew was not drawn and Quartered. He was Not brought back to Whalley . These kind of recordings are detrimental to the real story. Research more there is a letter to Thomas Cromwell. The pronunciation of Paslew is not Parslew. Wiswell is Wizzel. The gravestone is not Paslew. When removed the earth underneath was undisturbed. Dont let facts get in the way of a good story eh ?
