Sawley, or Sallay, W. R. (4) a
township with Tosside, extra-parochial,
in the wapentake of Staincliffe, 4 miles
S. W. from Gisburn ; inhabitants, 561.
This place is remarkable for the remains
of an abbey, founded in 1147, for
monks of the Cistercian order, by Wil-
liam de Perci; a great part of the nave
and transept is still standing, enough
being left to shew that the building was
a plain cross without columns or side
aisles, and extremely resembling the
chapel of Jesus College, Cambridge;
the gateway is converted into a cottage;
several well cut shields of arms are
wrought into the walls of the neigh-
bouring houses.

Saw Wood, W. R. (7) a hamlet in
the township of Stainland, parish of

Saxton, W.R. (5) a parish and
township with Scarthingwell, in the
wapentake of Barkston Ash, 5 miles S.
from Tadcaster; inhabitants, 378; a
perpetual curacy; patron, R. O. Gas-
coigne, Esq. In the church-yard of this
village, were interred the bodies of
many of those unfortunate persons
who were slain in the battle of Towton,
1461: the Earl of Northumberland
reached York to die; the Earl of West-
moreland was interred in Saxton church,
but without a memorial; Lord Clifford
was tumbled into a pit with a promis-
cuous heap of dead bodies; Lord Dacre’s
tomb in Saxton, still remains, though
much defaced, and the inscription is
illegible. A tradition relates, that he
was shot when he unclasped his helmet
to drink a cup of wine, by a boy with
an arrow, in revenge for the death of the
boy’s father, whom this nobleman had
slain some years before; the place where
he fell, was called the North Acres,
whence this old rhyme, /

“ The Lord of Dacres
Was slayne in the North Acres ;”
but this story seems to be a fabrication,
confounding the death of Lord Clifford,
who really perished in the manner de-
scribed : it is scarcely possible that the
same accident should happen to two
noblemen on the same occasion. The
parish contains the township of Towton.
Entire population, 472.
