Talk:Furness Abbey

Conflicting descriptions of the location.
Although this article says the Abbey is located next to Barrow, several other references (I've corrected a few to match this article) mention Furness Abbey as being "on the outskirts of Dalton-in-Furness". While this could be considered true, it's also now all but attached to Barrow. I've just checked the distances and it's 0.7 miles from the Abbey to the first place which could be considered Dalton, and 0.9 to the start of the town "proper". As opposed to 0.15 to the first place to be considered Barrow, and 1/4 of a mile to the 6th Form college and housing area nearby. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Audigex (talk • contribs) 08:32, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Much is made in this article about connections with the IOM but what about the lands and granges held in lakeland, not to mention it's great flocks? Where was the market town associated with the abbey? (Hawkshead perhaps?) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.190.64.99 (talk) 17:36, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

Furness Abbey location
The location is often given as "The Vale of Deadly Nightshade". This untrue. The location is "The Vale of Nightshade", Not "Deadly Nightshade". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.23.28.42 (talk) 14:42, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

✅ There appeared to be some disagreement between "Vale of Deadly Nightshade" (supported by Barrow-In-Furness Local and Civic History Society), "Vale of Nightshade" (supported by Furness Abbey Fellowship) However, Ordinance Survey record it as "Vale of Nightshade" and they are the most reliable and reputable source for such. -Rushton2010 (talk) 16:30, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
