Thas missed one Dobo.
History of Accrington & District by the Rev W.A. Burgess. He was going to have it published, but he left the district, and it was never completed.
I would'nt put much faith in anything writen by Ainsworth, no one has been able to verify his sources.
He did work for Accy Observer, so a good story sells.
Retlaw.
