The abbey was founded in 1178 by John FitzRichard, the sixth Baron of Halton. In 1279 it was flooded by water from the Mersey and in 1287 during a fierce storm. The monks appealed to the pope for the monastery to be moved to a better site and, this move took place in 1296. However a small cell of monks remained on the site until the Reformation, the site becoming a grange of Whalley Abbey. The remains of the abbey lie between the Mersey and the Manchester Ship Canal. | The abbey was founded in 1178 by John FitzRichard, the sixth Baron of Halton.
