== The name Denny ==
Isn't the odd name from its patron saint, [[Denis]]? [[User:Wetman|Wetman]] 17:54, 2 May 2004 (UTC)
Sounds plausible. However, the relevant web page of [http://www.crsbi.ac.uk/ed/ca/denny/ The Corpus of ROMANESQUE SCULPTURE in Britain and Ireland] (a highly detailed archaeological report, with lots of nice photos, that I just discovered) reckons that it was dedicated to SS James & Leonard. It is still possible that the Benedictines named it after Denis, but it was renamed later. -- [[User:Heron|Heron]] 19:35, 2 May 2004 (UTC)
:Denny is derived from '''Daneia''', the Romans used the site of Denny Abbey from the 2nd to the 4th century.--[[User:Lidos|Lidos]] ([[User talk:Lidos|talk]]) 21:57, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
== Assistance offered ==
I can provide information on this abbey and museum, with which I am closely involved as a volunteer.--[[User:Lidos|Lidos]] ([[User talk:Lidos|talk]]) 21:04, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
