| Description | Traditions of Lancashire is John Roby's influential, two-volume study on English folklore.

Nethertheless, his study does contain important data for folklorists. Volume One chapters include: Sir Tarquin; The Goblin Builders; Mab's Cross; The Prior Of Burscough; The Eagle And Child; The Black Knight Of Ashton; Fair Ellen Of Radcliffe; The Abbot Of Whalley; Sir Edward Stanley; George Marsh, The Martyr; Dr Dee, The Astrologer; The Seer; The Earl Of Tyrone; Hoghton Tower; The Lancashire Witches; Siege Of Lathom; Raven Castle; The Phantom Voice; The Bar-Gaist; The Haunted Manor-House; Clitheroe Castle; and, The Grey Man Of The Wood. Volume Two chapters include: The Fairies' Chapel; The Luck Of Muncaster; The Peel Of Fouldrey; A Legend Of Bewsey; The Blessing; The Dule Upo' Dun; Windleshaw Abbey; Clegg Hall; The Mermaid Of Martin Meer; George Fox; The Demon Of The Well; The Sands; The Ring And The Cliff; The Dead Man's Hand; The Lost Farm; The Maid's Stratagem; The Skull House; Rivington Pike; Mother Red-Cap; The Death-Painter; and, The Crystal Goblet.
