Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Coucher Book or Chartulary of Whalley Abbey, Vol. 1 Its site was well calculated to carry out the views of the founder of that ascetic order. Placed on a low rock at the confluence of the Gowy and the Mersey, in one of the most barren spots in Cheshire, it was a fitting place for the fol lowers of those devoted men who looked on the loneliness and sterility of Citeaux as its chief recommendation. And if it be true, as alleged, that Citeaux derived its name from the flags and bulrushes which were found there in abundance, the site may have been endeared to the monks by a similarity in its natural productions.
