Lawrence Shipway (Shipwaie?)

edit

There is a note which mentions Lawrence Shipwaie, british-history.ac.uk [http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/lancs/vol6/pp182-192 here}: "Trans. Hist. Soc. xxii (new ser.), 51. Robert Charnock of Astley is there stated to be content to 'take upon himself the charge and oversight of the building and setting up of the church of Standish for and on behalf of the whole parish according to such proportion and time for the mason work as is agreed upon and set down in a pair of indentures . . . made betwixt the said Robert Charnock on the one part and Lawrence Shipwaie, freemason, upon the other part.' See also Baines' Lancs. (ed. Harland, 1870), ii, 168." But it's not at all clear he was the architect. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:41, 24 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
