Jocelyn a peut-être été abbé de Rushen, ainsi qu'architecte[4], mais il ne s'agit que d'une hypothèse parmi d'autres.

« Jocelyn of Furness was doubtless the architect of de Courcy's own Abbey of Inch or Yoes near Downpatrick, founded 1181; and also probably of Grey Abbey, and of the chancel of St. German's Cathedral. As Jocelyn was Abbot of Rushen in 1187, witnessing the Charter of King Reginald, he was doubtless the architect of the Cistercian House of Rushen; and the small base of a pillar of four fine shafts found by Mr. W. Cubbon in his excavation belongs to that period, and is so far in favour of the probability of the general plan having been then decided on and the work begun. The Church was not consecrated till 1260, in the time of King Magnus, and of an Abbot named Symon, not to be confused with the great Bishop Symon who died about thirteen years before that date. »
