Publication: Liverpool, Historic Society of Lancashire & Cheshire, 1916

Formatting: 8vo, original printed card wrappers.

Condition Report: Very Good. The original grey card wrappers remain fully intact but display moderate wear consistent with their age and fragile format. This includes slight splitting and minor chipping to the spine extremities, as well as mild rubbing and creasing along the overhanging yapp edges. The binding remains firm and secure. Internally, the text block is clean, with the untrimmed page edges showing only light, natural age-toning.

Catalogue Note: This is a scarce original offprint, reprinted directly from the Transactions of the Historic Society of Lancashire & Cheshire for the year 1916. Complete with nine photographic plates and two maps, this edition offers a detailed historical and architectural survey of the site.

As an offprint, this piece was likely produced in a very small print run for the author's private distribution or institutional use, making it an uncommon survival on the open market.

An invaluable resource for regional historians and architectural enthusiasts, this 1916 study provides an in-depth exploration of the Chantry of St. John Baptist at Bailey. Authored by the Reverend C. A. Newdigate, S.J., with architectural descriptions by F. H. Cheetham, the work traces the chantry's medieval foundations, its founder Robert de Clitheroe, and its eventual structural evolution. Richly detailed and supplemented by historical records, this piece provides a comprehensive glimpse into Lancashire’s ecclesiastical heritage.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.
Condition Description
New A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
