PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION,
IN offering to the public a third and improved edition of “Gregson's Portfolio of Fragments
relating to the History and Antiquities of Lancashire,” the Publishers are desirous to state that
it is substantially a reprint of the second edition of 1824, with such corrections, additions, and
improvements as are calculated to make it more accurate, and to give it, especially as a book of
reference, a greater practical value. In its original compilation, it was literally “A Portfolio of
Fragments.” Its first edition appeared in 1817; but in the course of passing through the press
it received various additions from time to time, which were introduced in the form of interpolated
pages between those originally printed. These, interfering with the pagination, were denoted by the
addition of asterisks before and after the number of the pages. Thus, between the original
pages 2 and 7, were introduced pages 2*, 3*, 4*, 5*, 5*, and 6*. Then, besides the division
of the work into three parts, with separate title-pages and tables of contents, there were
introduced at the end of Part II, thirty-eight pages of Addenda (“price 10s. 6d. extra, or 20s.
separate”). Other additions were called “More Fragments;” and Part III. was also called the
Appendia, and its pagination, like that of a preface, was in Roman numerals—pp. i. to cviii.
Such was the Second Edition, as published; and in Mr. Gregson's “Advertisement” thereto, he
announces that, after a certain day, the price of the volume would be advanced to Eight Guineas,
and that of the Additions separately to Two Guineas and a Half. In this advertisement he
announced that he was preparing a Fourth Part, to contain an Index, with some additional family
history and views of gentlemen's seats; and that the price of this fourth part to subscribers would
not exceed Three guineas, to non-subscribers Three Guineas and a Half. But this fourth part, if
ever compiled, was never published. Mr. Gregson, in another “Advertisement,” states that—
“Many of the editor's particular friends have expressed a wish that he should publish
an indew of general matters, places, and names, and also of the arms which have been engraved
and described.”
This defect, felt and acknowledged in 1817, and again in 1824, has, however, existed till the
present time ; and the absence of two such Indices has materially impaired the value of the book
as a work of reference for the historian, the antiquarian, the genealogist, and the herald. In the
present edition, an Index to the numerous engravings of the Coats of Arms of Lancashire and
many Cheshire families is first given, and then a General Index to the whole book. It is one
of the most striking characteristics of the work, that it contains by far the largest collection
extant of delineated Lancashire coats of arms; whilst, amongst so many hundred coats, scattered
over some hundreds of folio pages, the search for any particular armorial bearing involved a great
waste of time, and was not always successful.
What further has been done to improve this edition may be briefly stated. Instead of three
various pagings, one regulaf and consecutive pagination has been carried throughout ; and instead
of three separate tables of contents, one general table embraces the whole. Though without
direct connection with each other, the various “Fragments” are not without a certain order and
sequence. Thus, Mr. Gregson's Part I. (in the present edition, pp. 1 to 138) comprises public
records and documents relating to the Duchy and to the County Palatine generally ; Part II.
(pp. 139 to 305) consists chiefly of the local history of parishes, townships, and families, beginning
with those in the West Derby Hundred, followed by those in the Hundreds of Leyland,
Amounderness, Lonsdale, and a few in the Hundreds of Blackburne and Salford. Mr. Gregson's
Appendia, or Part III. (pp. 307 to 387), is rather a continuation of Part I. than of Part II,
containing all the Lancashire portion of the Testa de Nevill, the document called the Birch
Feodary, and other records and documents from the Birch MSS. Some general statistics and
notices of the diocese of Chester and the Lancashire portion of the Tawatio Ecclesiastica of Pope
b
vi 33rrface to QThirt (ºbition.
Nicholas IV. (A.D. 1291), the principal public records, so far as they relate to Lancashire—viz.,
the Domesday Survey, the Calendarium Inquisitionum post mortem, the Calendarium Rotulorum
Chartarum, the Calendarium Inquisitionum ad quod damnum, the Testa de Nevill, and the Tawatio
Ecclesiastica—as printed by Mr. Gregson, have all been carefully collated with the printed
copies published under the authority of the Commissioners of Public Records, or with equally
authoritative originals, and the errors found have been corrected in the present edition. Mr.
Gregson only gave the Lancashire Inquisitions from vols. i. and ii. In the present edition those
from vol. iii. have been added; and the ordinary or common year dates have been added to the
regnal years. Some obsolete matters, of no value now, have been omitted—as the original
preface, the lists of subscribers to the first and second editions, various “advertisements” and
announcements, and the population returns according to the census of 1811. These last have not
been replaced by those of the census of 1861, as they are scarcely in keeping with the general
character of the book, and as they may be found in the Appendix to the new edition (1868) of
Baines' History of Lancashire. The documents published from the Birch MSS., which were in the
possession of Mr. Gregson, have not been collated, as it is not known where those MSS.–
themselves only copies from older documents—are now deposited. For the general text of the
book, and especially for the pedigrees, genealogies, and heraldic blazons and descriptions in this
work, Mr. Gregson must remain the responsible authority.

OF THE

AND THE
DUCHY OF LAN CASTER:
WITH
A BRIEF ACCOUNT OF THE EARLS, NOBLES, AND DUKES WHO HAVE BEEN IN
- IPOSSESSION OF THE
#}ſm or ºf Lamtaşttr;
WITH THEIR ARMS, AND THOSE OF THEIR WIVES OF THAT HOUSE.
LANÇAshtº: was inhabited by a colony of Celta, about 500 years B.C.; and it afterwards assumed
the name of Setantii, signifying the country of the waters. About the time of the Christian era it
became a part of and was called Western Brigantes; extending to the east over Yorkshire and Durham.
It was invaded about 79 A.D. by the Roman general Julius Agricola, in his second campaign, when
it finally became part of the Roman province, Maaſima Caesariensis, which also comprehended Northumberland,
Durham, Cumberland, Westmoreland, and Yorkshire. When the Romans arrived, they found the whole sea-
coast of Lancashire inhabited by a Welsh tribe, and Lancaster was then called Caer Werid—the green city.'
N By the Saxons it was called, in Alured's time, Lenricastle ; some say it
was the Mediolanum of Ptolomy, but this is strongly denied ; and most
authors agree it must be the Longovicum of the Romans; and that from a
people dwelling on the river, called Lom, and castra a castle, is derived Lon-
castell or Loncaster.”
Lancashire is above six times as large as Middlesex, and stands pre-
eminent in its manufactures of every kind. Whilst the whole kingdom
averages a population" of 152 persons to every square mile, or 640 acres,
this county contains 327 persons in the same space—i.e. one person to 2
acres. Lancashire does not produce more than the tenth part of the corn
which its population consumes.
King William I., soon after the Conquest, which was on the 14th
THE ARMS OF LANCASTER. October 1066, gave the Honor of Lancaster to Roger de Poictou, or, as he
**.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.* is otherwise called, Roger Pictavensis, who was of a noble family in Nor-
azure a fleur-de-lis of the second. e
mandy, and related to the Conqueror. His father was Roger de Montgomery,
Wiscount de Heismes, and made by the Conqueror Earl of Arundel and Shrewsbury. He came over with
him, and led the centre of William's army at the battle of Battle Abbey, as his grandfather had led the van
at the battle of Hastings.-Roger had six brothers, and four sisters. His great-grandfather was William,
Earl de Montgomery, from whom the family of Montgomery, Earl of Eglinton and Duke de Chandos, are
descended.” His eldest brother, Hugh, Earl of Arundel and Salop, was killed in 1098, and succeeded by
his brother, Robert de Bellissima. From his mother Mabil or Maberia he derived those estates, and was
Count de Alençon, Earl of Arundel and Shrewsbury, his father having married the daughter of William
Talvace, son of Ivo de Bellissima, above named. In the reign of Stephen, Roger and his eldest brother
were obliged to quit the kingdom, but returned. King William gave Roger all the lands between the
Mersey and the Ribble, comprising the hundred of West Derby, or Derby-
shire, as it has sometimes been called ; Salford, Leyland, and Blackburne-
shire." It is said Roger had jura regalia. Dr. Kuerden states that “this
county had palatine jurisdiction under Roger Pictavensis, before the survey
of Doomsday records, now in the Exchequer, was completed ; forfeited
before the time it was completed; restored in William II.'s time; forfeited
again by Pictavensis at the battle of Tewkesbury, in the beginning of the
reign of Henry I. This Honor was bestowed upon Stephen before he was
king, and continued for his reign in his son William, Comes Boloniae et
Moritonae, till about the 5th of Richard I. It was then given to John Earl
of Moreton, alias Sans Terre, afterwards King John ; though some of those
after Roger had not jura regalia as at first.” Roger also had all Amounder-
Roº's Ales' ness, as well as other great grants of land; for we find that he must have
Ermine, 3 chevrons gules. possessed the country about Lancaster, as it was he that founded the church
of St. Mary at Lancaster, and granted it to the abbey of Seize in Normandy. The strong and massive
towers of the castle are marked with the character, and are evidently the work, of that early period. Per-
haps the church and castle are coeval, except the grand gateway tower entrance, which is referred to the
time of Edward III. The improvements which have very recently been executed under the direction of
Mr. Harrison deserve much praise, and confer great honour upon the magistrates. There is, however, a
respectable witness-room yet wanting, to add to the accommodations necessary to the business of the assize.
When Doomsday Book was taken, Roger was building or altering this castle, as the grand baronial
residence for the Honor of Lancaster. Amounderness, being a level flat country, offered no inviting situa-

tion for such a purpose. Notwithstanding the princely allotments, in Lancashire and other parts, which
Roger had given to him, he differed with King William, and was deprived of his Honors, anno 1080.—
Soon after he was first settled he provided, with the consent of the crown, for his followers. To William de
Molines, of noble extraction, of eminent virtue, and who was the 18th in order at Battle Abbey, Roger gave
the manors of Sephton, Thornton, and Kerdon, in the county of Lancaster; and they are now in the same
family, being the inheritance of William Earl of Sefton. Lord Wiscount Molineux, the Gerrards, the Hall-
Salls, the Villars, the Norrises, the Irelands, the Blundells, and others, were all provided for in this county.
1090–The 3d of William II. Roger was restored to all his Honors; but afterwards joining with his
brother Bellissima, Earl of Arundel and Shrewsbury, and others, against Henry II. in favour of Robert,
Duke of Normandy, after the battle of Tewkesbury they were both deprived of their Honors, and compelled
to quit the kingdom. It is said that this Roger built the castle of Liverpool; but another account attri-
butes its erection to King John, Perhaps the truth is to be found between these two reports:—the one
personage commencing, and the other finishing the castle.
After Roger's rebellion this Honor escheated to the crown, and at the beginning of his reign Henry I.
granted it to his nephew, Stephen de Blois, who had gained and retained the affection of his uncle.
When Stephen ascended the throne in 1135, he made his son, William de Blois, Earl of Montaign
and Boloigne, Lord of the Honor of Lancaster. This Wm. de Blois gave Walter de Waleton the manor of
Waleton, in the hundred of Blackburne, near
Hoghton Tower. It was afterwards part of
Lacy, Earl of Lincoln's possessions. He
granted it, about 1130, to Robert Banester
of Waleton ; but in the time of Edmund,
Earl of Lancaster, Jöes de Langton married S
Alice, the daughter of Robert Banester, and
in her right became Lord of Waleton. This
manor continued in the Langton family,
Barons of Newton, and of the Low or Loe,
and was held by them until the 32d of
Elizabeth ; when Thomas Langton having
killed Thomas Hoghton of Hoghton Tower,
Esq., in a duel, made his peace with the
family by settling on them the manor of
Walton le Dale, which they hold to this day.
It appears by the Feodary of the county WM. DE BLOIS'S ARMS.

Baron of Newton. eagle displayed gules.
When the Earls of Chester obtained a footing in Lancashire we know not. Hugh Lupus, and Robert
de Beaumont, Earl of Mellent, were principal persons in supporting Henry I. We further learn, that
Randal I, nephew to Hugh, styled Randal of Briscard, ramained faithful to Henry I. ; and Mr. Nichols,
the historian of Leicestershire, seems to doubt that Henry I. yielded the Honor to Randolph, the father of
Randulph the 2d Earl of Chester." He might hold lands in Lancashire, though it is said that Stephen I.
and his son after him held the Honor; and it is proved by the grant to the Waletons, that William de
Blois certainly had something like it. Camden says.” “William, Lord of Lancaster, son of King Stephen,
gave to Walter de Waleton as above.” This William died 1160, without issue.
STEPHEN'S ARMS.
Gules, a Sagittarius Or.
The reign of Stephen was weak and tumultuous. Randulph, son of the
Earl of Chester, called Randle Gernouns, was a gallant man of arms, and
took Stephen prisoner, anno 1142. He possessed himself of a third part
of England, some of which he might acquire by force, but the greater share
seems to be an hereditary claim ; for it appears by the grants of King
Stephen” that he gives to “Randle Gernouns the castle and city of Lincoln
till he should be restored to all his lands in Normandy, and his castles
there; and he thereupon gave him liberty to fortify one,” etc.
Than this celebrated Earl Randulph, who was nephew to Edwin, Earl
of Mercia, and married a daughter of the Earl of Gloucester, none was more
powerful, none of more consequence. He was Earl of Chester twenty-five
years, and founded the nunnery there. He was poisoned by William Peve-
rell, anno 1153, the 18th of King Stephen. Randulph founded a priory at
Trentham, and various other religious houses, as did Maude his widow.
RANDLE GERNOUNS’ ARMS.
Gules, a lion rampant, tail erect, argent.
1 See Sir Peter, 114, 118, edit. 1673. 2 Leicestershire, vol. i. fol. 219, 1795.
3 Camden by Gibson, 1695, fol. 793. 4 Sir Peter, 121 and 127.
* “King Stephen gave to Randle Gernouns the castle and city of Lincoln, till he should be restored to all his lands in Normandy
and his castles there ; and thereupon gave him liberty to fortify one of the towers of Lincoln castle, to have command thereof till the
King should deliver the castle of Tickill, and then to deliver up Lincoln castle, except the Earl's own tower, which his mother had forti-
fied, and the constableship of that castle, and the whole county, which was his ancient inheritance ; and also the castle of Belvoir, with
all the Barony and all the land of William de Albiney, then lord of Belvoir, and Graham, vulgo Grantham, with Sok. And if the heirs

King gave him New Castle, in Staffordshire, and Socum de Roeley, Torksey, Derbey, Mansfield, Stoneley, the wapentake of Orwardebek,
and all the lands of Roger de Busley, with all the honor of Blithe, nigh Tickhill, and all the lands of Roger de Poictou from Northamp-
ton to Scotland, except what belongs to Roger de Montbegon in Lincolnshire; also all the lands between Ribbel and Mersey; and the
land which the King had in demaine in Grimsby, in Lincolnshire, and all the land which the Earl of Gloucester had in demaine in that
manor of Grimsby. And also he restored, for Randle's sake, unto Adelize de Conde, all her lands, viz. Horncastle, in Lincolnshire,
when the castle was demolished. And all his own other lands the King restored unto him.—Ea: charta originali muper in castro de

Hugh the Second, surnamed Cyvelocke, succeeded his father, as Earl
of Chester.—By his sword he acquired the lands called Bromfield, from the
Welsh, “his harmful neighbours.’ Some time afterwards Hugh, the King of
Scotland, and Robert Earl of Leicester, rebelled against Henry II., who
succeeded King Stephen, and had almost possessed themselves of all the
province of Little Britain, in France; but they were at length obliged
to retreat to Dole Castle, where they were all taken prisoners, about
1173.”—Nevertheless, at a parliament holden at Northampton, January
1177, both Robert Earl of Leicester, and Hugh Earl of Chester, were
restored to their lands by the King. This Hugh Cyvelocke died 1181 ;
his father got possession of the lands of Roger de Poictou in 1152; so
that the Honor of Lancaster had now been held by the Earls of Chester
for twenty-nine years.

In 1189 Richard I. showed great kindness to his brother, John Sans
Terre : Earl Hugh's son not being of age, he gave him the Earldom of
Moriton, Normandy; and besides conferring upon him the crown of Ireland,
bestowed upon him such extensive preferments in England, that he was in
a manner a Tetrarch there. He made him Earl, and presented him with
the Honor of Lancaster, as well as of Cornwall, Nottingham, Derby, Dorset,
Somerset, Gloucester, etc. etc.” It is said John visited Ireland in 1186.
In his way thither (after he had been knighted at Windsor and made King
of Ireland),” he stayed at Liverpool, and, as before stated, it is supposed built
the castle. During his residence he evinced great partiality to some of the
neighbouring gentry; and when he became King, he granted to Liverpool a
charter, and the seal at present used by the corporation. His father Henry
II. died in 1189. Notwithstanding the extraordinary acts of service which
he had experienced, John rebelled against his brother, Richard Coeur de
Lion, during his stay in the Holy Land, and in his captivity, about 1193 ;
but Richard forgave him, and, dying without legitimate issue, made him his
heir by will. John succeeded as King, April 6 [? May 27], 1199.

ye, that we have given, and by this present charter confirmed, to Theobald Walter, for his homage and
service, all Aymonderness, with all other appurtenances,” etc. This Theobald served the office of sheriff,
by himself and deputies, the 6th, 9th, and 10th of Richard I.
Theobald Walter was of the illustrious house of Count Biron, N
Normandy, whose ancestor, Theobald, came over with William the Con-
Queror: and we are informed this Walter's brother was Hubert Walter,
Archbishop of Canterbury, High Treasurer and Chancellor to Richard.
Theobald had much land in Ireland. A descendant of his married the
sister of Thomas-a-Becket, and by her had a son called Theobald, who, by
Henry II. was constituted chief butler of Ireland; from whence the Dukes
and Earls of Ormond, Earl of Arran, Earls of Carrick, and Wiscount
Mountgarret, are descended, who thenceforward took the name of Butler,
and retired from Lancashire.”

with free warren. He held the barony of Widnes, under the fee of Halton Castle; the manor of Knowsley, Huyton, Roby, and
Torbeck, as one knight's fee, paying £5 per annum.—Sir Peter, 291, and Birch's MSS. From these Lathams is derived the house of

contemporary with the term of Richard's reign, which was not quite ten years. It was not until the 13th
of Henry III. that this Randulph received a confirmation of all his lands between the Ribble and the
Mersey—viz. the town of West Derby, with the wapentake; the borough of
Liverpool, the town and wapentake of Salford, and wapentake of Leyland;
with all forests, keeps, homages, and other appurtenances. We likewise find,
from authentic vouchers, that he executed the office of sheriff, by his deputies,
for the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, ninth, and, we believe, the second year of
that King. In the 15th of Henry III. Randulph de Blundevill purchased all
the lands which Roger de Maresey possessed between the Ribble and the
Mersey. These lands were considerable, and are distinctly enumerated in a
deed copied into the great Coucher-Book of the Duchy.” Randulph paid
down 40 marks of silver for these lands, and afterwards 200 marks more ;
further agreeing to render annually at Easter some white gloves, or one penny
for all services whatsoever.” -
This Randulph was Earl of Chester 51 years, and died in 1232, leaving
no issue by either of his wives: his whole inheritance was shared by his four
sisters and co-heiresses. A more particular history of Earl Randulph's acts
may be seen in Sir Peter Leycester's Cheshire.

Agnes, the third sister of Randulph de Blundevill, married the great and powerful William Earl of
Ferrers, the sixth in lineal descent from Robert de Ferrers, raised by King Stephen to the Earldom of
Derby, for his prowess at the battle of the Standard, in the 3d of King Stephen. They were Earls of
Ferrers and Derby also, and his wife had the castle of Chartley in Staffordshire; the lands in that part of
Wales called Powis; the manor of West Derby; Earl Randulph's land between the Ribble and Mersey;
together with Buckbrock in Northamptonshire, and Navenby in Lincoln-
shire. He had been, 8 Henry III., made Lord of the Honor, and Governor
of the Castle of Lancaster;" and next year he executed the office of sheriff
for three parts of the year, as well as for the 10th, 11th, 12th, and 18th,
by his deputies. In the 17th of the same King, having married Agnes,
he accounted £50 for the relief of his lands of her inheritance ; and the
year ensuing had livery of her property—viz. of all those lands lying between
the rivers Ribble and Mersey, for which he and she were bound to pay
yearly a goshawk, or fifty shillings, into the King's Exchequer, as had been
usual." 36 Henry III. in the Charter-rolls, fol. 76, we find the following
grant and confirmation to the son of this William de Ferrers, Comes
Darby :-Liverpool, West Derby, Everton, Crosseby, Wavertree, Salford,
Boulton, Penelton, Buttleton, Swinehurst, Burtonwood, and Cherlesh, with
the manor; free warren in all, being 12 manors, and a market, fair, and .
manor for Boulton ; 45 manors in Derbyshire, 22 in Staffordshire—in all
80 manors; besides many other grants previously made—viz, 32, 33, and

Vaire or and gules, on a border azure church, Stubbing manor, Chiche capital messuage, and Fairstead Land,

hundred pounds to the King for the livery of those three wapentakes lying between the Ribble and
Mersey—viz, West Derby, Leyland, and Salford, which had been seized into the King's hands for certain
misdemeanours of his bailiffs. He died 1247, or 1254. His Countess died in the year following. They
had been married 75 years.
This Earl was one of those who met in the tournament held at Blithe in Yorkshire, in 7th Henry
III., for which his lands were seized, but no doubt restored, for next year he was made Custos of the
Honor and Castle of Lancaster.
He had a younger brother called Robert, who served King John with five knights, himself included,
in the wars with the barons.'
32 of Hen. III. 1248.-William Earl of Ferrers and Derby, son and heir of him who married Agnes
of Chester (being the first year after his father's death), doing his homage, had livery of Chartley Castle, as
also of all other the lands of his mother's inheritance; and the next year he obtained a mandate to Robert
Lathum, the Sheriff of Lancashire, for the enjoyment of such lands, etc., between the Ribble and Mersey
as his uncle, Randulf Earl of Chester, formerly possessed. In 35 Henry III. he procured from the King a
special grant of such officers for the conservation of the peace between the Ribble and Mersey as Randulf
Earl of Chester formerly had, which officers were maintained at the expense of the inhabitants.” By

Margaret, his second wife, one of the daughters and co-heiresses of Roger de Quincey, Earl of Winchester,
- he had two sons, one of whom, Robert, succeeded him in the Earldom of
Derby, and settled at Groby in Leicestershire; but this Robert, taking
part with Simon de Montfort, was, in 1265, deprived of his Earldom and
all his lands, of which those between the Ribble and Mersey were confis-
- iº - - -- jº cated by Henry III., and being united to the Honor of Lancaster, were
-ms given to Edmund Crouchback, the second, after King John, who bore the
- title of Earl of Lancaster. Earl Robert, at the time of his father's death,
in 1254, or, as other accounts say, 1247," was about fourteen ; but when he
- was nine, he was married to Mary, daughter of Hugh le Brun, then
eight years of age, niece of King Henry III. On his father's death, and in
his minority, the Queen and Peter of Savoy gave six thousand marks for
s——— the custody of the lands until he should come of age.
l In 1260, Robert de Ferrers performed his homage to King Henry III.,
and received the seisin of his lands, which amounted to £3000 per
annum. The fine castle of Tutbury and Needwood Forrest were part of
his possessions and his chief residence. He had most of the lands forming
South Lancashire (called in Domesday Book the lands between the Ribble
and the Mersey), which he governed by his own officers. He joined the
barons in the first instance, and then went over to the King, being con-
stant to neither party. Lord Edward, the King's son, and this young Robert, devastated each other's
lands with particular acrimony. Great hostility existed between them ; indeed no person in the king-
dom was so much dreaded by Lord Edward, afterwards Edward I.
1264.—Earl Robert formed an alliance with Robert Montfort, Earl of Leicester, and Clare Duke of
Gloucester ; and as he was marching towards Chester, with an army consisting of horse and foot, to the
amount of 20,000, William la Zouche, David the brother of Llewellin, James de Audley, with many
others, met him, but not daring to engage with the Earl, they fled: the latter pursued, and had only one
man wounded. He was, however, at last taken, and held in prison three years, when, 53 Henry III., after
much solicitation, it was agreed that £50,000 should be paid in one sum on a certain day, for the
liberation of his estate ; but the money could not be raised, and having eleven barons bound with him,
they passed over their securities and their title. It is said he was also created Earl of Derby, but it is not
found that he had any patent made out to this title, though he had possession of the land, and perhaps
exercised the power of Earl in that county, as his successor did, who was also Earl of Lancaster, Leicester,
and Derby. After this Earl's death, the Dukes and Earls of Lancaster bore the title of Earl of Derby
until the reign of Henry VII., who bestowed it upon his father-in-law, THOMAS LORD STANLEY, of the Isle
of Man, Knight of the Noble Order of the Garter, Lord Steward of the House to King Edward IV., and
grandfather of William Lord Monteagle, which Lord Monteagle left an only daughter and heiress Elizabeth,
who married Edward Parker, Lord Morley, whose son and heir, Wm. Lord Monteagle, was he that revealed
the gunpowder-treason plot.
26th Edw. I.-John, the surviving son of Earl Ferrers, made an effort to regain his father's lands; he
appealed to the Pope, but derived no relief. He, however, had still lands left to a considerable sum per
annum. Thus ended the great family of Earls of Chester and Ferrers in Lancashire.
For an enlarged history of the Honor of Lancaster, we beg to refer our readers to Nichols's History
of Leicestershire, vol. i. 219; for the history of the Ferrers to vol. ii. 408; for the history of the Earls of

Henry III. in the 29th year of his reign, on the forfeiture of Earl Ferrers, Earl of Derby, Simon
Montfort, Earl of Leicester, and John Monmouth, for rebelling against him, gave all their lands to his
younger son, Edmund Crouchback, born 1245. In 1253, Pope Innocent invested Edmund with the
kingdom of Sicily and Apulia ; soon after which he was made Earl of Chester,
and on the defeat of Leicester and his adherents at Evesham, appointed Earl
of Leicester, 25th October 1265. His father also gave him the honor, town,
and castle of Derby, with all their appurtenances, and all the goods and
chattels of Robert de Ferrers, Earl of Derby; granting him the custody of
the castles Kaermerdin and Cardigan, as also the isle of Lundy. Thinking
these important gifts not sufficient, he conferred upon him the castle of
Sherborne, Dorsetshire ; the castle of Kenilworth, Warwickshire, with all
the lands thereto belonging; and, by his letters patent, dated at Lincoln,
August 22, he conveyed to him and his lawful heirs, in full sovereignty, the
honor, earldom, castle, and the town of Lancaster, to which, by the for-
feiture of William de Ferrers, Earl of Derby, the honour of Tutbury was
annexed. [The Ferrers, who came over with William I., had been Lords
of Tutbury from that date to Henry III.] Edmund likewise obtained” the
cow-pastures and forests of Wiersdale, Lownsdale, Newcastle-under-Lyne ;
with the manor, forests, and castle of Pickering, the manor of Scaleby, the

Northumberland, and likewise the stewardship of England, 2 Henry III. To these immense possessions
is to be added the rich inheritance he gained by his marriage with Aveline, the daughter of William Earl
of Albemarle above mentioned. His father gave him discharge from a debt due to the crown of one
thousand seven hundred and sixty-seven pounds, four shillings and five pence, being a
sum owed by John de Monmouth, and for which the castle and honor of Monmouth,
held by Edmund, were liable. He went to the Holy Land, but returned in his father's
lifetime, 56 Henry III. 3 Edward I. he had a grant of Chartley Castle, Staffordshire. N
7 Edw. I. he had a grant from the King, of Wirksworth and Esburn, with the wapen- }
take of Wirksworth in fee, to hold by service of two knights' fees, in exchange for l
Kaermerdin and Cardigan; and this year he obtained the title of Earl of Champaigne.
He was in the same year in the expedition to Scotland. 12 Edw. I. he procured from
Queen Elenor, his mother, the houses, garden, place, and rents, by her purchased from `s- 9
the provost and canons of Montjoy, situate in the suburbs of London, lately belonging
to and built by Peter de Savoy, her uncle; and, 15 Edward I. a grant of divers liberties
as Earl of Chester, also free chase in the chase of Wiseley and Wimburghoft ; with a
further confirmation of the Honor of Monmouth, with the castles of Grosmund, Skenfreith, and Blanch
Castle, and of all his other lands. In 21 Edw. I. he had a grant to make his house into a castle, called
the Savoy, in the parish of Clement Danes, Middlesex. He founded an abbey for nuns of the order of
Santa Clara, in the Minories, London. Edmund was chief butler of the Grey Friars' house, in Amounder-
ness, county of Lancaster. He was sent to France with the Earl of Lincoln, and sat down before Bor-
déaux: after some skirmishes, he proceeded from thence to Langdon, where he fell sick and died, 1296.
He ordered his body not to be buried until all his debts were paid ; after which he was carried to
London and interred in Westminster Abbey.
The vast possessions with which this Earl was loaded laid the foundation of the future greatness of
the House of Lancaster; the power and influence of which increased to such a height, by the accession of
the Lacy estate, in the person of Earl Thomas, who succeeded, that Henry of Bolinbroke, becoming too
powerful for a subject, deposed his cousin-german, Richard II., and mounted the throne of England. To
Earl Edmund's almost unlimited possessions, therefore, is to be referred the origin of the great contentions
that existed between the Houses of York and Lancaster; contentions in which so many battles were fought,
and so many Earls, barons, and British subjects slain.
This great Earl, by Blanch his second wife, daughter of Robert Earl of Artois,
third son of Louis VIII., widow of Henry King of Navarre, Earl of Champaigne $º
and Bry, had issue three sons—viz. Thomas, Henry, and John—and a daughter. John
died in France, without issue.—The daughter had Duffield, and vast estates in Derby,
Stafford, Northampton, and Leicestershires—viz., the manors of Trepton and Duffield, º
the manor of Hertindon with Crowdecote, the whole forest of Duffield, and all the
members of the manors there ; the advowson of the church º

Thomas Plantagenet, eldest son of Edmund Crouchback, was Earl of
Lancaster, Leicester, Derby, and, in right of his wife, of Lincoln. Earl
Henry Lacy, his wife's father, surrendered all his lands into the King's hands,
anno 1294; but had them restored to him for his life, and for the purpose of
afterwards settling them upon his daughter Alice, who, at nine years of age,
was betrothed to this Earl Thomas." These lands were, 25 manors in
Yorkshire, 18 in Lancashire, l in Leicestershire, and 1 in Northamptonshire

Earl Henry Lacy died on the 5th of February 1310, 4 Edward II. aged 60, at
his own house, in Chancery Lane, London, now called Lincoln's Inn.” It is said, that
on his deathbed he charged Earl Thomas, his son-in-law, to maintain his quarrel with
Piers de Gaveston, Edward II.'s great favourite; and the Earl of Warwick joining with
Earl Thomas, they caused Piers to be taken and put to death, on the 29th June, 5
Edward II. 1312. A great breach was thus occasioned between the King and Earl
Thomas, which terminated in open rebellion.

the office of sheriff of Lancashire, by his deputy Richard de Houghton. He retained, by indenture, Sir
Hugh Meynill, knight, to serve him in peace and war, for the term of his whole life, in the wars of England,
Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, with three men-at-arms, well mounted, armed, and arrayed; covenanting to
allow him harness for his own body, and recompence for what arms and horses should be lost in the war
in his service; as also apparel and saddles, livery of hay and oats for his horses, and the like wages for as
many grooms as he gave to his other bachelors. In time of peace, upon his going to parliament or else-
where, he granted him livery of hay and oats for four horses, wages for that number of grooms, and an
annuity of 10 marks.'
The like retainer had St. John de Eure to serve him with ten men-at-arms in time of war, whereof
three to be knights; allowing them bouch of court, with livery of hay, oats, horse-shoes, and nails, as
other bannerets usually had ; and in time of peace attending him to parliament or other assemblies, with
all his knights in livery, to have diet in his hall; as also hay, oats, horse-shoes, and nails for eight-and-
twenty horses, and wages for as many grooms, with livery of wine and candles for his chamber, etc.”
This Earl kept above 1500 horses. Their expense is mentioned in his household-book hereafter.
Besides the above, there was another knight, Sir Robert de Holland, whom he had taken out of his
buttery, and had preferred to 2000 marks per annum.’ He, however, ungratefully betrayed him, and sold
himself to Edward II. Thomas had given to him Ashton-under-Lyne, etc. etc.
The great hostility between Edward II. and Earl Thomas was removed, but for a short time, by two
cardinals, sent by the Pope from Rome, 1317. During the short interval of peace, Edward confirmed a
grant of their grandmother's lands in France to him and his brother Henry, part of the Earldom of Pro-
vence. All these favours, however, did not abate Thomas's discontent : he joined other barons, and
marched to St. Alban's. The pretext for this rebellion was the dissatisfaction given by the Spencers,
greater favourites with the king than Piers de Gaveston. These Earls afterwards went to London, and
caused the Spencers, by proclamation and with consent of the king, to be banished the realm. The next
year, 15 Edward II, the tide turned, and Thomas retreated northward from Tutbury, being betrayed by
Sir Robert de Holland, who carried the forces he had collected for him in Lancashire to the king. Sir
Andrew de Harclea of Carlisle now made Thomas prisoner, and placing him in his own castle of Pontefract,
Yorkshire, he was in three days after his captivity condemned by the king, without trial by his peers, and,
experiencing the most contemptuous usage from the populace, beheaded on his own manor, March 22,
1321, leaving no issue. It is said Edward greatly repented this measure. Thomas was accused of putting
to death some persons for small offences, and protecting others from punishment who were more serious
transgressors of the law. It was also objected to him that he was cowardly for suffering himself to be
taken without resistance. He was evidently a weak man and a bad subject. The monks thought
differently; they begged his body of the king, and sainted his name; his tomb was much visited, and
many miracles were pretended to be wrought there. His effigy, on a tablet, was devoutly worshipped in
St. Paul's church, London, until forbidden, 16 Edward II. ; but the veneration of the people continued
many years, and it was said that miracles were wrought in the 33d of Edward III.
Edward II. took all the lands of this Thomas Earl of Lancaster into his own hands; some he disposed
of to the Spencers and others. Alice, the widow, had the Earldom of Lincoln" and the manor of Halton
restored to her for life, and she was styled Countess of Lincoln and Salisbury. She married Sir Eubulo
Strange, 1325, without the king's consent, on which account she was deprived of some of her choice
possessions to favour the Spencers. Eubulo Lord Strange was created, in her right, Earl of Lincoln. The
mandamus was made out at Kenilworth, 19 Edward II. He died about 1333; when Alice married Hugh
de Frenes, who usurped the title of Earl of Lincoln, and died 1334. Alice had no issue by any of her
husbands; she died, aged 67, 1348, and with her the name of Lacy became extinct. All authors agree
that she was an unchaste character; but if the story in Walsingham, quoted by Sir Peter Leycester," be
true, she is deserving of pity. The lands which Earl Thomas received by this marriage were worth 10,000
marks per annum. Alice was allowed after his death only 3000 marks in lands. All those which came to her
from her father, Earl of Lincoln, descended to Henry Earl of Lancaster, father of Henry Grismond,
afterwards Duke of Lancaster. These lands lay in Blackburnshire, Rochdale,
Tottington, and Penwortham, Lancashire; Halton, Cheshire; Bowland and
Snath, Yorkshire; and in various other parts of England. See the Inqui-
sition post mortem, which will be inserted hereafter.
Henry, brother and heir of Thomas, upon the death of his father, Edmund
/ Earl of Lancaster, 24 Edward I., doing his homage, had livery of the castle,
town, and honor of Monmouth ; as also the castles of Skenefrith and Blanch-
castell, with the manors of Radley and Minsterworth, and all other his
father's lands beyond the Severn. In 25 Edward I., he was engaged in the
wars; and in 28th and 32d of the same king, in the expeditions to Scotland
and Flanders. In 34 of Edward he was also in the wars of
Scotland, and received, in consideration of his services, livery
of the manor of Hertley, county of Hants, without perform-

After these acts of royal patronage, however, he joined with Thomas de Brotherton, then marshal, and
Edmund of Woodstock, the king's uncle, in order to reform certain abuses in the court. They put to death
Hugh le Despencer, the elder, and imprisoned Hugh, the younger, with many other of the king's favourites,
Edward himself, indeed, became prisoner to Earl Henry, who confined him a whole winter, 19 Edward II.,
at his castle of Kenilworth. 20 Edward II., Prince Edward being then constituted governor of the realm,
the chancellor and treasurer, etc., being appointed by the confederation, Henry obtained a grant of the
custody of the Honors of Lancaster, Tutbury, and Pickering; but shortly afterwards, by command of Prince
Edward, he delivered up Edward II. to Thomas Lord Berkeley, who conveyed him to Berkeley Castle.
Upon the proclaiming of Edward III., Earl Henry girded that prince with the sword of knighthood, and
was entrusted, in consequence of his tender years, with his education. In the first parliament he obtained
an act for reversing the attainder of his brother, Thomas Earl of Lancaster, whereby he repossessed those
lands and lordships which had been confiscated ; they were the Earldoms of Lancaster and Leicester. Thus
he regained the whole of his inheritance:–the castles of Sandale, Coningburgh, manor of Wakefield,
Thorne, Souerby, and Hatfield. In the same year, 1 Edward III., he was made Captain-General of all the
king's forces in the marches of Scotland. Among other lands belonging to Earl Thomas in various parts
of the country, which were seized, there were found in Leicestershire the manor of Bagworth, Lyndrach,
Thornton, Bochardston, and Newton, with Bagworth Park, and certain tenements in the town of Leicester,
all which were held by Robert de Holland and Maud his wife. Many grants were made by Earl Thomas
in Lancashire, during the time Robert de Holland was in his buttery, and afterwards one of his squires."
In 1329 he obtained, 3d of Edward III., when he attended the king in his expedition to France, a confir-
mation to himself and heirs of all the lands and fees of John de Middleton, in the Newlands and Woodham,
county of Northumberland.
Earl Henry died in 1345, 19 of Edward III., and was buried at Leicester; the king and queen, with
almost all the bishops, earls, and barons of the realm, attending his funeral. He left issue by Maud or
Mary his wife, Henry, his only son and heir, and six daughters—viz. Maud, married to William de Burgh,
Earl of Ulster, and afterwards Ralph, son and heir of the Earl of Suffolk; Blanch to the Lord Wake ;
Eleanor to Richard Earl of Arundel, having the Pope's dispensation; Isabella was Prioress of Ambresbury;
Jane married Lord Mowbray; and Mary Lord Percy.

Henry, son and heir of the above-mentioned Henry, was surnamed Grismond from the place of his
birth ; he obtained, 7 Edward III., a grant from his father, dated at Kenilworth, 28th December, of the
castle and town of Kidwelly, with the territory of Carnwarthlan ; as also of the castles of Oggemor,
Grossmont, Skenefrith, and manor of Ebboth. In 9 Edward III. he was in an expedition to Scotland, at
- which time he gave such testimony of his valour and mili-
tary skill, that he received ‘from the king a grant of certain
lands at Berwick-upon-Tweed which had belonged to Peter
de Kymeringham. Upon the 7th of April, in the same year,
he was made Captain-General of the king's army in that
quarter, and in May following had the title of Banneret.
In 11 Edward III. he obtained an assignment of five
hundred and seven pounds ten shillings for his own, and the
wages of his men-at-arms, which he retained for the wars of
Scotland, and was at the same time advanced to the
dignity of Earl of Derby. In lieu of the third penny or
twenty pounds a-year, he had a pension of 1000 marks,
to be received yearly during his father's life, out of the
customs of London, Boston, Kingston-upon-Hull, until the
king should otherwise provide for him in lands or rents to
that value. This Earl, at the battle of Cagonet, owed his
life to the valour of Sir Walter Manney, of famous memory,
who brought him safely off, exclaiming, “Lancaster for the
Earl of Derby l’” In 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 Edw. III. he
was in the French war, being accompanied by a retinue of five
bannerets, fifty knights, one hundred and forty-four squires,
and two hundred archers on horseback. He had for his
wages, on that service, one hundred and eight and a half
sacks of wool; taking for himself of the king's wool 8s. per
day, whilst every banneret had 4s. ; every squire 12d.; and
England, 3 labels of 3 points of France. every archer 6d. per day. In 17 Edw. III. he marched with
many noble lords to Scotland, to raise the siege of Lough-
maban Castle, and was afterwards appointed ambassador to the King of Castile to settle some differences.
In the same year he granted to Sir Roger de Chetwynd (whom he styles noster cher bachelor), and Joan his
wife, for their lives, an annual rent, out of his manor of Shenstone, of twenty pounds per annum. At this
period he sailed with Walter Manney to Bayonne, and from thence visited Bordeaux. The earl, with
five hundred knights and squires, and two thousand archers, marched and took Brigerac and Anberoche :
he afterwards captured fifty-six cities, towns, and places of note in France. At Brigerac he made forty
knights, English and Gascoignes, and amassed a large quantity of gold and other treasure. In this year of
great exploits his father died; he could not, however, attend his funeral. He was made the king's lieu-
tenant in Aquitaine.

About this date, the famous order of the garter was instituted: next to the king and Prince Edward,
he was the first knight companion, and the Earl of Leicester the second. 20 Edward III. he was in
France, actively employed in the conquest of Poitiers; he relieved the besieged town of Aquitaine, and
returned with great booty and triumph to Bordeaux. He was one of those appointed at the siege of
Calais to settle the dispute betwixt the son of John de Warbleton, son and heir to Sir John de Warbleton,
and Tiband, son and heir of Sir Tiband de Russel, who assumed the surname of Georges, and the arms
of the said Warbleton, viz. Lozenge de or and az, ; when it was proved that the Warbletons and their
ancestors had borne them immemorially. 21 Edward III, this earl had in his own retinue eight hundred
men at arms, and two thousand archers, and had expended in the wars of France seventeen thousand
pounds, besides the pay which he had from the king. In consideration of these great services, he had
various grants made him; among others, the castle and town of Brigerac in France, and Worston in Der-
byshire; a rent in Derby; free warren in various places. Henry was made Earl of Lincoln, and Lieu-
tenant and Captain-General of Poictou. He took forty-two towns and castles, 22 Edward III. He then
bore the titles of Earl of Lancaster, Leicester, Lincoln, Derby, Grismond, and Ferrers; but was advanced
to a still higher honour, and appointed, for his life, by the king's special charter, bearing date the 6th of
March, 26 Edward III. Duke of Lancaster, which being done by the general consent of all the prelates
and peers sitting in parliament, he was invested with a sword, with power to have a chancery in the
county of Lancaster, and to issue out writs there under his own seal, as well touching the pleas of the
crown, as any other relating to the common laws of this realm ; as also to enjoy all other liberties and
regalities belonging to a county palatine, in as ample a manner as the Earl of Chester was known to do
within that county. He was also made by David Bruce, King of Scotland, Earl of Moray.
He was appointed Admiral of the King's fleet, and obtained leave to visit the Holy Land to fight
the infidels; but in his journey he was surprised and taken prisoner by the Duke of Brunswick, whom he
afterwards met to combat, but the latter had not sufficient courage, and Henry submitted to the orders of
the King of France. He some time after returned home to England, having acquired the name and
character of the Good Duke of Lancaster, and spent his Christmas with the King at St. Alban's.
He received special command from the King to keep 40 lancers, to guard the sea-coast of Lancashire.
In 31 Edward III. when King John of France, who had been taken prisoner by Edward the Black
Prince, was brought into this country, the captive monarch was entertained in the Savoy, a stately palace
in the suburbs of London, then lately built by Henry Duke of Lancaster, at the expense of 52,000 marks,
which he had got at the taking of Brigerac. Henry gave to the monks of Whalley, Lancashire, two
cottages and seven acres of land, one hundred and eighty-three acres of pasture; two hundred acres of
wood, called Romesgrove, all lying in the chase of Blackburne; likewise two messuages, one hundred
and twenty-six acres of land, twenty-six acres of meadow, one hundred and thirty acres of pasture, called
Standen, Holcroft, and Grenelache, lying within the towns of Penhulton and Cliderhou, with the fold and
foldage of Standen, to support two recluses in the parochial churchyard of Whalley, and divers other
appointments there. He founded a chantry at the high altar in St. Nicholas's chapel, Liverpool, for the
celebration there of [masses for] the souls of himself and his ancestors. The ceremony was observed until
the dissolution. He gave his sister Maud, Countess of Ulster, the castle and manor of Melbourne. -
To the day of his death he passed an active life –He died 24th March 1361, and was buried in
great state at Leicester. He married Isabella, daughter of Lord Beaumont. By
her he had two daughters, co-heiresses:–Maud first married Ralph, son and heir of
Ralph Lord Stafford; secondly, William of Bavaria, son of Lewis the Emperor, Duke
of Zealand, Holland, Haynault, and Friesland: and Blanch, John of Gaunt, fourth son
of King Edward III. The property was divided among them. Maud, at the time of
her second marriage, was only 19 years of age. Her second husband was made, by
courtesy only, Earl of Leicester and Steward of England; for she dying without issue,
1362, the whole of these great estates and titles came to John of Gaunt. William
of Bavaria had become insane in 1358, and Maud returned to England, and had the
moiety of the Duke her father's inheritance given her. On her death John received
the additional title of Earl of Leicester, and in a few months that of Duke of Lancaster. ARMs of Beixost.

Fourth son of Edward III., was born at Gaunt [Ghent], in March 1340; and on the 20th of
September 1342, being two years and a half old, he was created Earl of Richmond, having a grant in
tail of all the castles, manors, and lands belonging to that
earldom, as also all the prerogatives and royalties which John,
late Duke of Brittany, enjoyed. In the next year, he had a
similar grant of the manor of Daneby-super-Wyske, Yorkshire.
In 1345 he received grants of markets; and 1353 a con-
firmation of the earldom of Richmond, with the castle, lands,

death of Maud, his wife's sister, in 1632. He was declared in parliament Duke of Lancaster, when the
king girt him with a sword, and placed on his head a circlet of gold and pearls, creating him DUKE OF
LANCASTER, with all the liberties and regalities of an Earl palatine; as also Earl of Leicester, Lincoln,
and Derby, with the office of High-Steward of England.
In 1364 a grant was given up by Henry Grismond to King Edward II. (the same which Henry III.
had granted to his son Prince Edmund) of several exemptions and privileges, to himself and his tenants;
but on the death of that prince, it had been given up and cancelled without legal authority by Earl
Henry, so to do, to the prejudice of his heirs; it was therefore renewed and amply confirmed to Duke
John and his heirs, to Blanch his wife, and to all their tenants. . In 1369 he was sent to France to
serve the king for half-a-year, with three hundred men-at-arms, five hundred archers, three bannerets,
eighty knights, and six hundred esquires. On his return in November, he found his wife Blanch had
died the previous September.
In 1370 Peter the Cruel, King of Castile and Leon, died, and leaving two daughters, Constance and
Isabella, his co-heiresses, their uncle had usurped the crown, when the princesses fled to Gascoyne for
refuge; and John, being at that time near Bordeaux, sent for them, and married Constance the elder.
He gave to Edward Earl of Cambridge the younger, Isabella, and assumed the title of King of Castile and
Leon. About 1376 he enjoyed the whole government of the old king his father, and the young Prince
Richard II. whom he brought to the parliament house, and directed him to demand a subsidy of two-
tenths in one year. In 1377 he had a licence to provide for his concubine Catherine Swinford, or Roet;
and a grant of a chancery in his dukedom of Lancaster, with all royalties appertaining to a county palatine,
under an obligation of sending two knights to parliament as representatives of the commonalty of
Lancashire, and two burgesses for every borough within the said county. He was a great patron of the
reformer Wickliffe, which rendered him odious to many persons. At the coronation of Richard II. he
claimed, as Earl of Leicester, the office of Seneschal of England; as Duke of Lancaster, the right of bearing
the principal sword, called the curtana, on the day of the coronation ; and as Earl of Lincoln, to cut and
carve for the king. He was named one of the protectors to the young King Richard II., his nephew ; but
in 1381, Thomas Beauchamp was appointed sole protector, when he obtained for his son Henry, Mary
Bohun, one of the daughters of Humphrey Bolun, late Earl of Hereford, Essex, and Huntingdon. Her
estate was valued at five thousand marks. He was sent, 1381, as one of the commissioners, to settle
damages on the borders between the English and David King of Scotland, and in returning was refused

admittance into Berwick by Sir Matthew Redman, governor under the Earl of Northumberland. During
his absence in Scotland happened that dangerous insurrection of the commons of Kent, headed by Jack
Straw, who entered London, and, bearing great hatred to this duke, burnt his house, called the Savoy, which
contained many valuable charters, evidences, and other writings of note. This house was considered the
finest structure in England. The Lady Constance fled to Pontefract for protection; he returned enraged
against the Earl of Northumberland; and the king had been so intimidated during his absence, that he
had offered to deliver him up to the people. Henry made peace with the Scots for two years, and
afterwards, being assured of safe conduct, he went to Edinburgh, and was honourably received by the
Earls of Douglas and Dunbar, who entertained him at their own charge. It is said in 1385 the young
king conspired the death of the duke, of which the latter was apprised; but Joan, the king's mother,
sensible of the ill consequences of such a breach, spared no pains until she had effected a perfect recon-
ciliation between them.
In 1385 he was with the king in an unsuccessful expedition to Scotland. 1386 he
desired leave of the king and parliament to visit Spain, to recover his wife's inheritance,
and left his son Henry Earl of Derby, his lieutenant of all his possessions in England.
When he took leave the king gave him a coronet of gold, and the queen another for his
wife, commanding every one to call him King of Spain. He took shipping at Bristol
with Constance his wife, daughter and heir, as before mentioned, of Philip the Cruel,
King of Spain, whom Edward the Black Prince, the duke's nephew, had invested in that
kingdom. Things were at length amicably settled, by an agreement that Henry, eldest e
Son of John King of Castile and Leon, should marry Catherine, the duke's only daughter Arms or casure
by his wife Constance ; and that the duke should quit his claim to Spain, on condition of AND LEON.
receiving for his own and his daughter's life a yearly payment of 16,000 marks. In Armºute.ºlº,
case his wife should survive him, she was to have annually 12,000 marks. Returning tºº º:
home with much treasure, forty-seven mules being laden with chests of gold, he was pure, 3d as 2d, 4th
made, on the 2d of March of the same year, Duke of Aquitaine, which he was to hold of **
the king, as of the realm of France. He had again confirmation of all privileges for his duchy of Lancaster.
In 1390, being St. Peter's feast, he gave a royal entertainment to a hunting party in the forest and park
about Leicester ; at which were present the King and Queen, the Archbishop of York, Thomas of Wood-
stock Duke of Gloucester, the Earl of Arundel, John de Holland Earl of Huntingdon, and many bishops.
In 1391 he was appointed Lieutenant of Picardy, and sent in the following year upon various
important embassies. 1393 he was likewise in France, and in conjunction with Edmund of York ratified
a truce between England and France. 1394 he was again sent into Aquitaine, to take possession of that
duchy ; he spent great sums to gain the affections of the people, but they refused to consider him in any
other character than as the king's lieutenant. 1395 he went to court, but not feeling satisfied with his
reception, he hastened to Lincoln, where his favourite Catherine Swinford resided, and
married her: an event which created no little wonder, as her birth was exceedingly low.
Constance had been dead about two years. In the lifetime of both his wives, the Duke N
entertained Catherine Swinford as his concubine, and now married her on account of the
love he had for her children. Catherine's sister was married to Geffrey Chaucer, of
whom the duke was a great friend, bestowing a pension upon him and his wife, for
their good services to his duchess. The four children whom John had by Catherine
Swinford, he had interest enough to get legitimated, first by the pope; and in 1397, in
a parliament convened in London, he procured an act for their legitimation. He attended
King Richard II. to France, when a peace was concluded, October 1397, and the king married Isabella,
daughter of the King of France, then eight years old.
In the parliament of 1397 this duke's son was created Earl of Hereford, and in the next year
banished the realm. The banishment of his son (whose wife, Mary de Bohun, daughter of Humphrey,
Earl of Hereford, died in 1393) caused the most poignant sorrow to the duke, to which the king's bad
government of the realm greatly contributed, and in this situation he fell sick and terminated his life in
1399. His friends much lamented his loss; but the king, though he attended his funeral to St. Paul's,
seemed little concerned. As soon as the duke was dead, Richard seized his possessions, and notwithstanding
his engagement with Henry, lavished them upon his favourites. The duke left many legacies in gold cups
and valuable furniture, to churches, chantries, etc., and among many others the following in money :-To
Bury Abbey, £1000; to his wife Catherine, £2000; to the Duke of Hereford, his son, £1000; to the
Marquis of Dorset £1000; to Thomas Beaufort 1000 marks; to his most dear bachelor, Thomas
Swinford, 100 marks; to Walter Blount, Chamberlayn, and Hugh Shirley, each 100 marks; to
Richard Aburbury, the son, 50 ; to Wm. Par, 50 marks." From this earl sprang many of the kings of
England, Spain, and Portugal; as also a long list of persons of eminent dignity. By his first wife,
Blanch, he had three sons; two died young, but one was afterwards King of England, called Henry of
Bolinbroke ; of his daughters, Philippa married John, King of Portugal, and Elizabeth first married
John, Earl of Exeter, and afterwards Sir John Cornwall, Lord Fanhope.” By his Spanish wife, daughter
of the King of Castile and Leon, he had one daughter only, by some called Catherine, by others Frances.”
who was married to Henry, eldest son of King John of Castile and Leon, and of Portugal. Catherine, his
third wife, surviving him, departed this life May 10, 1403; by her he had the following children —
John Beaufort, created Earl of Somerset, 20 Rich. II., and next year Marquis of Dorset; he married
Margaret Holland, daughter of Thomas Earl of Kent, and died 1410;-Henry Beaufort, Cardinal of St.
Eusebius, Bishop of Lincoln 1398, and of Winchester from 1404 to 1447, having been twice Chancellor
of England;—Thomas Beaufort, Duke of Exeter, Admiral of England, Earl of Dorset ; he married
Margaret, daughter of Sir Thomas Neville, Knt. and died 1426 ;—Joan Beaufort, only daughter of this
union, first married to Sir Robert Ferrars, Lord of Wem and Overley, by whom she had issue two
daughters; and after his death she married Ralph Nevill, first Earl of Westmoreland, by whom she had

This great duke was distinguished for his humanity and courteous behaviour; he was much respected
by the King of France, who at one time entertained serious thoughts of requiring the duke's daughter
Philippa for his queen. -
As Henry was the friend of Wickliffe, he advocated the translation of the Bible. In an age of
ignorance and bigotry he evinced a mind liberal and discerning. The devout life and learned pursuits of
Wickliffe were his only recommendations to the Duke of Lancaster, who never adopted the tenets of
the reformer, nor seceded from the doctrines in which he had been educated. His protection of Wickliffe
from the persecution of the church, whilst it cannot fail to excite the praise of a more intelligent age, lost
him the hearts of the Catholic clergy, and rendered him, among the monks, an object of abuse and hatred.
Desirous of military fame, he spent a great part of his life in camps; yet he acquired, upon the whole,
but little glory by his achievements in the field. He was by no means so much respected as the Black
Prince, the Good Duke of Lancaster his father-in-law, or his eldest son, Henry of Bolinbroke, Earl of
Derby, all of whom were the idols of the people. (See Collins's History of the Black Prince.)
A BRIEF ACCOUNT
OF
(Iije 3Life of #enrg 36climbroke,
PREVIOUSLY TO HIS ACCESSION TO THE CROWN OF ENGLAND.
HENRY PLANTAGENET, surnamed Bolinbroke, from the place of his birth, was born about 1366, and was
the only surviving son of John of Gaunt, by Blanch of Lancaster. He lost his excellent mother on the
21st of September 1369 ; after which he was placed for some time under Catherine Swinford, his
mother's old friend, and his father's concubine. On the 12th of May, 3d of Richard II. 1380, his father
- made him an allowance of 240 marks a-year out of his estate in Norfolk. The next
year he was betrothed, with the consent of the king, to Mary de Bohun, the youngest
daughter and co-heiress of the late Earl of Essex, Hereford, and Northampton, and
Hereditary Constable of England. Eleanor, eldest daughter of Humphry, was already
married to Thomas of Woodstock. These two ladies shared their father's honour and
large estates. Mary's property was afterwards annexed by her husband and son to
the Duchy of Lancaster; in her right Henry enjoyed the titles of Earl of Hereford,
- Northampton, and Lord of Brecknock. 5th Richard II. John of Gaunt issued his
Arms same as his Father's warrant to pay Dame Johanna Bohun, Countess of Hereford, 100 marks a-year for
the wardship and costs of his daughter-in-law, Mary Countess of Derby, until she should arrive at the
age of fourteen ; and on the 5th February, in the same year, the king gave another order for 100 marks
more out of his manor at Kidwelly. In 9th Richard II. Henry was summoned to
parliament. In early youth he made great promise to become a man of worth and
honour. The duke his father placed about him discreet counsellors, and he joined the
Duke of Gloucester and his party, in 1387, against the king's favourites and ministers;
on which occasion he was one of those whom the king meant to destroy. He routed
Robert de Vere, Duke of Ireland, at Radcot Bridge, in Oxfordshire. On the Duke's
return from Spain, Richard confirmed all the grants that had been made by his grand-
father and himself to the family of Lancaster, and limited the county palatine, which
had been given to John only for his life, to his heirs-male. This was, indeed, a mark Azure, a bend argent in-
of kindness towards Henry Earl of Derby, for whose benefit these favours were intended; ter cotises, and 6 lions
but the king, it is suspected, never cordially loved him after he had defeated Vere. **
About two years afterwards, he highly signalised himself in Prussia by defeating the king of Lithuania.
15 Richard II. he was, with many others, at the peace of Amiens; after which, little is said of him until
the 21st of the same reign, when the earl had a special commission to raise 200 men to prevent a general
insurrection on the trial of the Earls of Arundel and Warwick. At this parliament he made a full
confession of his improper conduct to the king, in the 11th year of his reign, concluding, “I confess my
offences, and I beg your mercy and pardon.” Thereupon, the Duke of Gloucester, Earls of Arundel and
Warwick, were all pardoned; and on the last day of the sessions, Sept. 29, the king sitting in parliament,
holding in his hand a rod, made his cousin Sir Harry of Lancaster, Earl of Derby, a duke, by the title of
Duke of Hereford, to have and to hold to him and his heirs-male.
This harmony between the king and Henry of Bolinbroke was not of long continuance: upon some
conversation said to have occurred between the Duke of Norfolk and Henry, a duel was appointed, to
which the king put a stop as soon as they entered the lists, and banished the latter for ten years. Before he
departed, the king promised and confirmed, by his letters patent, that in case any succession should happen
in his absence, for which he ought to do homage, that he might, by his attorney, be permitted to prosecute,
and have liberty of such succession or heritages, and that his homage and fealty might be respited. -
When he left the country he was followed by 40,000 people, bewailing his fate, and highly incensed
at the king for thus treating their favourite. The Mayor of London and others accompanied him to
Deptford, and many as far as Dover, in his way to Calais. At Paris he was kindly received, but on being
informed of his father's death, he hastened to England, and landed at Ravenspur in Yorkshire. King
Richard being in Ireland, he hurried away to meet him in Wales, and accompanied him from Conway
Castle to Chester, and soon afterwards to London. Richard was now shut up in the Tower, and a
parliament being called in his name, an open claim was preferred by Henry to the crown of England, upon
which he was solemnly placed, by the title of Henry IV. September 29, 1399,

In this Collection of FRAGMENTS we have taken the liberty to introduce, without the least view to
systematic arrangement, any documents relating to the County History. The following Taſcations
have been in force many centuries, but, as we learn, have never been otherwise made public than in
the shape of detached pieces, transmitted time after time to the Head Constables of the various
districts. The question of their total abolition being now (April 1815) before parliament, increases
the interest of their publication. Copies are to be found in the Harl. Collection of MSS.

FOR THE
(ſuitmtu jalatint of ſlamitāšter,
FROM AN ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT WRITTEN FOR THE USE OF JoHN YATES, ESQ., TREASURER OF THE
SAID County, MAY 16th, 1716."
Rules necessary to be observed in the Rateing and Collecting of all Tawes and Lays
within the County Palatine of Lancaster.
THERE be six several kinds of Taxes and Layes used within the county of Lancaster, viz.—I. The
SUBSIDY. II. The FIFTEENTH. III. The OX-LEY. IV. The MAIMED SOLDIERS’ LAY.
W. The PRISONERS’ LAY. WI. The SOLDIERS’ LAY or COUNTY LAY.
The SUBSIDY is only used when a Subsidy is granted to the King's Majesty by Act of Parliament,
and then it is to be rated, taxed, levied, and paid according to the tenor of the same act, whereunto I
refer you, not intending to write any more of that tax or lay in this book.
The FIFTEENTH is used when a fifteenth or tenth is granted to the King's Majesty by Act of
Parliament ; but because the same is usually paid, taken, and levied in manner and form aforementioned,
and because also that divers hundreds within the said county are at the Soldiers' Lay to be rated and
taxed according to the fifteenth within the said hundreds, the deductions being first deducted and allowed,
I have thought good after the end of these rules to set down the usual fifteenth of every township of every
several hundred within the said county, besides deductions.
There are 300 Townships within the said county, which stand charged to pay the fifteenth to the
King's Majesty, besides Raven Meals, the greatest part whereof is drowned in the sea, viz.-
In Salford hundred . . . . 41 In Leyland hundred ... 34 In Blackburn. . . . . . . . . 51
In Darby hundred . ... 79 In Amounderness . . . . 40 In Loynsdall . . . . . . . . . 46
The Forests supply the remainder.
These towns within Darby hundred pay nothing to the fifteenth, viz.-
Winwick cum Holme, Burscough, Prescot,
Ormskirk, Alker, Lynacre ;
And yet they contribute and pay to all other Taxes and Lays as well as the rest, except as hereafter follows.
The Forests following within Amounderness hundred pay nothing at all to the fifteenth, and yet they
contribute and pay to all other Taxes and Lays; and their due proportions at a whole fifteenth, besides
the deductions within the same, are as followeth, viz. –
• . Myerscough . . . . 35s. 9d. Bleasdall . . . . 8s. 9d. .
These Forests within Blackburn hundred pay nothing to the fifteenth, and yet they contribute and
pay to all other Taxations and Lays; and their due proportions at a whole fifteenth, besides the deductions
within the said hundred, are as followeth :—
Bolland . . . . . . f0 12 8 Heyhouses . . . . f.O 1 6 Atrington Vetus £0 6 8
Pendle . . . . . . . 3 6 8 Trawden . . . . . . 0 15 0 Atrington Nova 0 12 6
Ighnell Park . . 0 7 6 Rosendale . . . . . 3 12 6
. These Forests following within Loynsdale hundred pay nothing to the fifteenth, and yet they con-
tribute and pay to all other Taxes and Lays ; and their due proportions at a whole fifteenth, besides the
deductions within the said hundred, are as followeth, viz. –
Quarmore . . . . f.O 15 2 Wyersdale . . . . f.1 2 10
The OX-LEY is used for provision of oxen for the King's Majesty's household, according to a com-
position heretofore made by the said county. This Tax or Lay was agreed upon the 8th January, anno
regni reginae Elizabethae 25to, anno Domini 1583; a copy whereof is inserted in this book, page 20.
* Which has been in possession of the Editor's family upwards of ninety-eight years.
* Toxteth Park seems onlitted in Fifteenths.
14 Greggon'g 330rtfolio of fragments:
The MAIMED SOLDIERS' LAY is used for the relief of sick, hurt, and maimed soldiers and
mariners; and this lay is taxed by force of a statute made anno 43 Elizabethae reginae, cap. 3tio; and by
virtue of the same statute a Tax or Lay was set down and agreed upon 2d Aprilis anno 43 Elizabethae
reginae predictae anno Domini 160 l ; a copy whereof I have hereafter inserted, page 20.
The PRISONERS’ LAY is used for the relief of the poor prisoners in the King's Majesty's Gaol at
Lancaster, and this is taxed by force of a statute anno 4to Elizabethae reginae; and by virtue of the same
statute a Tax or Lay was set down and agreed upon 23tio Aug. anno 13tio Caroli regis anno Dom.
1637mo; a copy whereof I have hereafter inserted, page 21.
And these three last-mentioned Taxes or Lays, viz. –the Ox-ley, the Maimed Soldiers', and the
Prisoners' Lay—have, ever since they were set down and agreed upon as aforesaid, been observed and
followed within the said county. The 6th & last, called the SOLDIERS’ LAY or COUNTY LAY, is
the most usual Tax or Lay either for mustering, arming, or furnishing of soldiers for the King's Majesty's
wars, or of the trained bands," or for the repair of bridges, or any other use or purpose within the said
county, except it be for some of the five special purposes before mentioned, and are to be taxed, collected,
and paid in all the several hundreds, parishes, and townships within the said county, according to the same
Lay, being the most equal, reasonable, and indifferent Taº for the whole county either for men or money.
And since at a general meeting of the Justices of Peace of the same county at Lancaster, at the Sheriff's
table there, upon Wednesday night in the Assizes week, being the 11th day of August, anno regni Jacobi
Angliae, &c., 22do et Scotiae 54to anno Dom. 1624, the same Lay was holden to be the most fitting Tar
for the whole County, as by an order then and there made appeareth ; a copy whereof is inserted in this
book, page 21.
And here is to be noted, that all sums of money which shall be taxed upon the said county, either

[The Fifteenths and Subsidies are two of the oldest Rates in the kingdom, and were superseded by the
LAND TAX Act of Parliament, which was framed on the principle of the ancient Subsidy Act and
Fifteenths. We meet with payments of the Fifteenths so far back as the statute of Magna Charta, on
the conclusion of which the Parliament granted to King John, for concessions by him therein made, a
Fifteenth Part of their Moveable Goods, etc. etc. These Fifteenths were given up as the necessities of
Government increased, and the collection of them dwindling or decreasing from £120,000 to £70,000,
tempo. Elizabeth, several specific sums were fixed upon the several counties in the time of the Long
Parliament, which it seems they were obliged to raise. In 1688 the Land Tax was 1s. in the pound,
from which it progressively rose to 4s., when Mr. Pitt proposed the Redemption of the Tax, which
must be considered a wise measure to remove so unequal a Rate.]—EDITOR.

tº When these sums are all raised, there will be a surplus upon the various rates; and every total in every
township, separately calculated, surmounts in the account not less than 6d., nor more than 8d. ; which, I take it, is
for acquittances to discharge the several precepts in every township.

THE MOLLINEUx ARMS. STANLEY MonTEAGLE ARMs. NORRIS ARMS.
We will here beg leave to make a quotation from a Lancaster poet, who has written an heroic poem
on the BATTLE OF FLODDEN FIELD, fought 9th September 1513, when our Lancashire and Cheshire archers
and billmen highly distinguished themselves, under their gallant leaders Sir Edward Stanley, fifth son of
Thomas first Earl of Derby, Lord Monteagle of Hornby Castle; Sir William Mollineux of Sefton, and Sir
Edward Norris, son of Sir William Norris of Speke, who was son of Sir William Norris, slain at the Battle
of Muslebarrow, in the time of Henry VII.-all Lancashire gentry. Benson writes:—
From Lancashire and Cheshire fast,
They to the lusty Stanley drew ;
From Hornby whereas he in haste,
Set forward with a comely crew.
Earl Surrey said, Brave Stanley said,
“Good fellows strike this tide, “My Lancashire most lively wights,
Let now your doughty deeds be seen " And chosen mates of Cheshire strong,
Then spears and pikes to work were put, From sounding bow your fether'd flight
And blows with bills most dire were dealt, Let fiercely fly your foes among.”
And many a cap of steel through cut, Then showers of arrows sharp were shot,
And swinging swaps made many swelt. They rattling ran as rank as hail,
Their battering blows made sallets sound. And pierced the scalp of many a Scot,
No shield or pavish could prevail.
This victory was followed by carrying away as a trophy the stone coronation-chair from the palace of
Scone, in Scotland, to Westminster Abbey, where it now remains. The wainscoting of the library was
brought to Speke Hall, at that time rebuilding, and which has recently been repaired and beautified by
the owner, R. Watt, esq., late High-Sheriff of the county of York, and of Bishop Burton, in Yorkshire.
—The valuable library of James IV. was also captured and carried to Speke. We believe it has since
become the property of the St. Alban family, and it most likely was in the possession of the late Hon.
Aubrey Beauclerk. The families of these three gallant heroes are yet continued, and well known in
Lancashire. Henry Norris, esq., now of Davy Hulme, near Manchester, is of this family, in a direct male
line.—EDITOR.

* The foundation of the south-west tower stood on the site of Mr. Diggles's shop, in Castle-street. The circular face of the founda-
tion was visible in 1768, when the Improvement Act of 26 Geo. III. was carrying into effect. The castle on the south end of the
town was surrounded by a ditch of twelve yards wide and ten deep, from which to the river was a covered way, through which the
ditch was filled with water, and by which, when the tide was out, they brought in men, provisions, and stores of war, as occasion
required. The harbour or pool was at the bottom of Pool-lane, but an act was obtained, 1710, to build the Old Dock. Harl. MSS.

* Nearly eighty-six years afterwards Liverpool had only 138 householders, or about 800 inhabitants. In 1660 there was not a
single marriage or burial in the town. Last year (1814) 1220 marriages, 3535 christenings, 2534 burials, took place. The population
was 118,000.-EDITOR.
* In Doomsday Book we may look in vain for the name Liverpool; we readily find, however, all the townships around: ‘Stockes-
telede, or Toxteth Park, lay on the south end of Liverpool, as well as ‘Derbie, or Derby, and its six hamlets, two of which were very
near Liverpool. Newsome or Newsham and Everton were on the east side, nearly in a straight direction; and on the north Liverpool
F







34 (ſºreggon's 330rtfolio of jragments:
©n the ſlusters of the ſtilitary &gtablishment of the Countg.
(From Manning's Survey.)
I trust I may be pardoned for quoting from an excellent county history, lately published, some
account of the military establishment of the country, which will give an adequate idea of the nature of
the musters previously to the times of Charles II., when, I believe, the militia was proposed, and Lord
Lieutenants first appointed regular officers:–
In the earlier times of our Saa.on ancestors the military force of this kingdom was raised as occasion
required, and the leaders thence called Dukes (from the Latin Duces), and Herefogs (from the Saxon) were
appointed by the people in full assembly, or folk-mote. Alfred is the first who is supposed to have settled
a national militia, though on what grounds it is difficult to say, as well as under what regulation it was
established. On the conquest of this island by the Normans, the feudal law being introduced, which was
wholly built on a military plan, all the lands of the kingdom were divided into what were called Knights'
Fees, in number about 60,000, for each of which, being valued at £20 per annum, the proprietor was bound
to attend the king on his wars, if called upon, for forty days in a year. This personal service, indeed, was
in process of time exchanged for pecuniary render, which was called Escuage or Scutage, the first instance
of which occurs in 5 Henry II. on his expedition against Tholouse.
But, in the meantime, that a proper force might be at hand on the sudden emergency of a domestic
insurrection or foreign invasion, it was provided by the statute of Winchester, 13 Edw. I., that besides those
who by their military tenures were bound to perform forty days' service in the field, every man between
fifteen and forty years of age should, according to his estate and degree, furnish himself with a certain
quantity of such arms as were then in use. For instance, every man who was worth £15 a-year in lands,
and 40 marks in goods, or upwards, was ordered to provide himself with an hawberk (i.e. a coat of mail), a
breast-ptate of iron, a sword, a knife, and a horse; every man of £10 a-year in land and upwards to £15,
and of 20 marks and upwards in goods to 40, an hawberk, breast-plate of iron, a sword, and a knife; every
man of £5 a year and upwards to £10, a doublet, a breast-plate of iron, a sword, and a knife; and every man
was hemmed in by “Chircdale, or Kirkdale, as it is called (through which the inhabitants had to pass to their parish church ‘Wale-
tone,' or Walton, three miles distant) washed on the west by the river Mersey. If we traverse the country around, we shall find no
place which we can point out as the land stated in Doomsday to be held by Edelmundus, called “Esmedune,' or “Smedune,” eaccept the
township of Liverpool. It is said “Esmedune was one carucate of land, worth 32 pence ; ' for most of the country lay waste, and
some part under and adjoining Everton, until about one hundred and sixty years ago; so that we may fairly conclude ‘Esmedune’
was formerly where Liverpool now is, and one and the same place. Thus will Doomsday be found correct; it has indeed always been
of such credit, that if a question arise, whether a manor, parish, or lands, be ancient demesne, it must be tried by this book.
Upon the origin of the name Liverpool, all is conjecture, no written authority for its etymology being extant. This new name,
however, was evidently given to the place between 1066 and 1180.
But let us not forget a striking circumstance. A boundary lane on the east side of Toxteth Park, and on the west side of West
Derby, leading directly from Allerton to Liverpool, is called Smithdown, vulgarly Smethome or Smedone lane ; another lane from
Liverpool is named Park Lane, leading the contrary way into Toxteth Park. I think this will remove any doubt that might remain
as to the accuracy of Doomsday book in this part of the country.
The name cannot, with any degree of probability, be said to take its rise from the Leaver family; for their earliest date in the
public records is 20 Edward I., 1292: Rotulorum. Originalium, vol. i. folio 73, wherein they are stated to have made a purchase at
Middleton, in Lancashire. There is no mention of this family in those valuable records, Testa de Nevill, in Calendarium Ing. Post
Mortem, vols. i. and ii. ; Calendarium Rotulorum Patentium ; Calendarium. Rotulorum Chartarum ; in the Inquisitions Post Mortem :
but in the Soldiers' Muster, in Lancashire, 1574, we find them.—The family might have lived quietly at Great or Little Lever
time immemorial; but it is manifest that Leverpool, as it is sometimes called, could not originate in that family name, which is not
of any great note in Lancashire for above one hundred years after the name was applied to the town.—See Musters, fol.
It has been stated that King John gave a seal to Liverpool. The motto is, in English, “This common Seal, the gift of King
John to ville de Leverpool;” with the word “Jovis” and a crescent, the bird of Jupiter, or the Eagle (a bird being depicted thereon).
This bird has been cut and carved by our artists in all shapes, from that of a goose to a long-necked heron. In the grantor's time, a
bird was the most fashionable device for a crest throughout the hundred. Sometimes the whole, sometimes half, and occasionally only
the feathers were expressed : for instance, the Gernots of Speke, previously to the Molineuxes, or the Norrises, who succeeded, bore
for their arms a bird nearly like, and in the same colours as, that used for the arms of Liverpool. The Irelands bore as a crest a dove,
with an olive branch in its mouth, similar to the Liver with its Leaver, as it is called. This is now one of Mr. Blackburne's crests :
his other is the cock and trumpet.—Ecleston of Ecleston, Fazakerly of Fazakerly, Blundell of Ince, and many others, bore birds ; as
did Lathum of Lathom, who owned the tower now standing in Liverpool, and married his daughter to Sir John de Stanley. The
governor of the castle of Liverpool, Molineux, who had a large house in Lord-street ; the Mores, of More Hall and Bank Hall, whose
principal mansion stood where the Exchange and Exchange buildings are at present situated ; the Crosses, of Cross Hall, on the road
to Prescot, now Dale-street, near the top of Cross Hall-street—had birds for their crests. The Lathams bore an eagle, and in addition,
a swadled child; and the Molineuxes the peacock's feathers only, in a chapeau, or cap of dignity. This ancient fashion of adopting
birds for crests having been so prevalent, there can be no good reason for deriving the name of the town from a dubious bird. How
then cane the name Liverpool to be taken It was the suggestion of a learned friend (the Rev. T. R. Baldwin of Crosby) communi-
cated upwards of twenty years ago, that on the banks of the river, in proceeding up the channel, the most prominent land is Lither-
land, or, as it is called in Doomsday Book, ‘Liderlant :’ and the lowest the pool, at the bottom of Pool lane, then the best harbour in
the river; from these two points of land and water, he inferred, the name Lither-pool would readily be derived. The Latin name is
“Portus Liserpali;’ and it is so written in the Bills of Health at the Custom-house.

of 40s. a-year in lands and upwards to £5, a sword, a bow and arrows, and a knife: and he that had less
than 30s. a-year in land, to keep gysarmes (i.e. two-edged battle-axes, two-bills or halberts), knives, and
other smaller weapons. And two constables were appointed in every hundred and franchise to see
that such arms were provided by taking a view thereof twice in every year.—By statute of Winchester,
13 Edward I.
This law was resorted to in the 15th of Edward II. 1322, upon occasion of the encroachments of
Robert Bruce, Earl of Carrick; and the foot then raised were armed with haketorns (a kind of military
jacket), basinets (i.e., scull caps), gauntlets of iron, and other competent weapons.'
While these statutes continued in force, it was usual, from time to time, for our princes to order
commissions of array to such persons in every county as they could confide in, empowering them to muster
the inhabitants of every district, that they might be ready for service if occasion should require ; but no
man could be compelled to go out of the kingdom at any rate, nor out of his county, but on the most
urgent occasions (by stat. 1. Edw. III. stat. 2. c. 5 & 7, and 25 Edward III. stat. 5, c. 8.)”
[A specimen of this for the county of Lancaster may be seen in the preceding order of musters.]
By statute of 4 and 5 of Ph. and Mary, the weapons hitherto in use were exchanged for others more
adapted to alterations that had taken place in the service; on this footing things remained until the time
of James I, when both this and the former provision by the statute of Winchester were repealed, and from
this time there remained no source of defence to the kingdom other than what the crown enjoyed, and
had a right to call forth, on the ground of military tenure.” Hence it was that king Charles I. issued
commissions of lieutenancy, and exercised some military powers, on the foundation only of immemorial
usage, but being no longer supported by statute, it became a question in the long parliament, how far he
had a power over the militia; the agitation of which brought on at length that fatal rupture between him
and the commons of England. -
Soon after the revolution, the military tenures were also abolished; (stat. 12 Charles II. c. 24) in con-
sequence of which, it was thought advisable to ascertain the power of the militia, to recognize the sole
right of the crown to command it, and to put it into a proper regular method of military subordination.
This was done by divers statutes of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Charles II. ; one of which provided that the
sum of £70,000 a month was to be raised throughout England to defray the expenses thereof.
These are the only constitutional securities which our laws have provided for the protection of the
realm against foreign and domestic violence. They know no such state as that of a standing, perpetual
soldier, bred up to no other profession than that of arms, and have provided that the raising or keeping a
standing army within the kingdom in time of peace, unless by consent of parliament, is contrary to law
(1 William and Mary, stat. 5. c. 6.); so that, in compliance with the custom that prevails through the rest
of Europe, it hath also, for many years past, been annually judged necessary by our legislature, for the
public safety, to maintain, even in time of peace, a standing body of troops under the command of the
crown; yet they are, ipso facto, disbanded at the expiration of every year, unless continued by act of
parliament.
LORD LIEUTENANT
The office of Lord Lieutenant seems to have been introduced about the time of King Henry VIII.
The statutes of William and Mary speak of them as officers well known at that time (4 and 5 W. and M.);
and yet they could not have been long in use, since Camden mentions them in the time of Queen Elizabeth
as extraordinary magistrates, constituted only in times of difficulty and danger. The family of the Earls
of Derby have usually borne this honourable office in this county, assisted by an unlimited number of
Deputy Lieutenants, as was lately the case.

* By the laws of William the Conqueror, the relief of an earl was eight horses saddled and bridled, four helmets, four coats
of mail, four shields, four chasers, one palfry bridled and saddled. That of a baron half as much, with a palfrey; that of a vavasor
to his lord, his best horse, his helmet, coat of mail, shield, spear, sword, or in lieu of these, 100 shillings; that of a countryman,

Belesme, Earl of Arundel and Shrewsbury, paid upon the death of his brother, (and brother also of our Roger de Poitou) Hugh Earl
of Arundel and Shrewsbury, for the said Earldom, as a relief, three thousand pounds sterling, in the 10th of William Rufus. See

The Earl of Buckinghamshire, chancellor of the
duchy and co. palatine of Lancaster, May 23–
The Earl of Buckingham resigned June 23, and
the Rt. Hon. Chas. Bragg Bathurst, the present
chancellor, was chosen.
The County Assizes are held at Lancaster twice a-year, as by law established, 36 Edward III., and are
to be held nowhere else in the county.—The Duchy court is held at Lancaster Castle and at Preston;
the Vice Chancellor generally presides.—There is also a court in Westminster, called the Duchy court
of Lancaster, where all cases any way relating to the revenue of the Duchy of Lancaster are tried; and
the court established for the same purpose at Preston is a branch of the Westminster court, and is called
the court of the county Palatine of Lancaster.
These courts were established by King Henry IV. after
having deposed Richard II., when, possessing the Duchy of Lancaster in right of his mother, he imagined
he had a better claim to it than to the throne, which he had then usurped: he therefore separated it from
the crown, and erected these courts for its use.
The chief Judge is the Chancellor, under whom are a set
of regular officers for the dispatch of business in the county as well as the Duchy court.—The following
is the present list:—

—(Birch's MSS.)
Edward III. not only gave to his favourite son John the dukedom of Lancaster, but he made the county
a palatine. The following are the words of the grant :—“We have granted for us and our heirs, to our
son John, for the great service he has done his country, that he, during the term of his life, shall have,
within the county of Lancaster, his chancery, and his writs to be issued out and under his own seal' belong-
ing to the office of chancellor; his justices likewise, as well for the pleas of the crown, as for other pleas relating
to the common law, to have cognizance of them, and to have power of making all executions whatsoever, by
* That our kings, and all great personages, antiently used their own pictures in the impression of their seals, is very evident;
military men always on horseback, and in the same kind of armour that they wore, which in the elder times was mail for the most
part, with a shield on the left arm, and in the right a naked sword; upon which it is rare, before King Richard the 1st time, to see any
distinct charge, at least such as became hereditary ; but after that, it was held a great honour for those whose ancestors had served in
the holy wars to retain some badges and marks which they there bore, so that then they did not only continue them upon their shields,
but to be better known, had the like depicted upon surcotes of silk, behind and before, which they wore over their mail (hence called
coat of arms), but, after this ere long, divers bore their arms on fair, large, and deep shields, on their seals; and some on the reverse,
where the picture on horseback was on the other side. Howbeit, in Edward the 1st days and after, most men began to leave off
their pictures on horseback on their seals; which custom, by degrees declining, was intirely given over about 1356. Dugdale's War.

his writs and officers. And to have all other liberties and royalties of what kind soever, as appertaining

CHANCELLOR'S SEAL.
The Seal is four inches and a quarter in diameter.
There was anciently no other seal by which to grant or demise the duchy lands, except the great seal
of England; but, in 3 Henry W. it was established, that “no part of the duchy land, nor anything belonging
to the same, shall pass or be conveyed by any other than a seal expressly made for the use of the duchy of
Lancaster.’ ->
When Henry de Bolingbroke had deposed his cousin Richard II, he conferred the honor of Lancaster
upon his son, afterwards Henry W., and that he might entail it upon him and his heirs for ever, he caused
an act of Parliament to be framed in these words: “We being unwilling our said inheritance, or its liberties,
by reason of our now assuming royal state and dignity, should be any ways changed, transferred, diminished,
or impaired, but that our said inheritance, with its rights and liberties aforesaid, should be in the same
manner and form wherein they descended and fell to us, and also with all and singular liberties, franchises,
and other privileges, commodities, and profit whatsoever, which our lord and father, in his life time had
and held it for term of his life, by the grant of the late King Richard ; be wholly and fully preserved, con-
tinued, and enjoyed by us and our heirs specified in the said charters—by the tenure of these presents, we
do, upon our certain knowledge, and with the consent of this our present parliament, grant, declare, decree,
and ordain for us and our heirs, that as well our Duchy of Lancaster, as all and singular counties, honors,
castles, manors, fees, advowsons, possessions, annuities, and seigniories whatsoever, descended to us before
the royal dignity was obtained by us, how or in what place soever, by right of inheritance, in possession, or
in reversion, or other way—remain to us and our said heirs, specified in the charters aforesaid after the
said manner for ever.”
Henry W., by act of parliament, annexed to the Duchy of Lancaster a very great estate, which had fallen
to him in right of his mother, Dame Mary, daughter and co-heiress of Humphry Bohun, Earl of Hereford.
Henry VI. was deposed and murdered by Richard III. in the presence of his brother Edward IV.
who succeeded to the throne in 1461 ; and the house of York ruled in the persons of Edward IV. W. and
Richard III. for 25% years.
In the first of Edward IV. Henry de Bolingbroke, although he had been dead upwards of 15 years,
was, with many other persons, attainted of high treason, and the Duchy of Lancaster annexed to the crown;
subject, however, to such officers and justices as governed it in the times of Henry IV. V. VI.
In the 1st Henry VII, when the York and Lancaster parties were happily united, the act of Edward
IV. was repealed, and the entail to the crown cut off. We have already given a list of the officers of the
county and duchy. In Camden's time there were a chancellor, an attorney, a receiver, a clerk of the court,
six assessors, a messenger, two auditors, three-and-twenty receivers, and three supervisors.”
Since the reign of Henry W. the estates of the duchy of Lancaster have been greatly reduced. The
alienation of the possessions of the Yorkists, which served to support the court, in the time of Henry VII.,
and that of the church, during the time of Henry VIII. and Eliz. made room, upon easy terms of pur-
chase, for an additional number of gentry. The Stewarts disposed of many parts of the duchy property.
We will here extract from the original grant some particulars of one sale which was made.
March 21st, in the 20th of James I., a patent was granted by the king under the great seal of the
county and the seal of the duchy (without any fee, great or small, for sealing) for the sum of two thousand
pounds then paid by Edward Badbie and William Welden, of London, confirmed by writ of privy seal,
signed by Tong and Pye, whereof Thomas Parker, esq., Francis Empson, John Chester, Christopher Parker,
were appointed attorneys to give possession, by any three, two, or one, of the following lands belonging to
the crown, being part of the Duchy of Lancaster, granted by the advice of George, Marquis of Buckingham,
Master of the Horse, Lord Admiral of England, Knight of the Garter, and one of his Majesty's Privy
Council, etc. etc.; and the same was afterwards confirmed by parliament:—

were sold; they had been conveyed to the Duke of St. Alban's by Charles II., who also granted other parts
of Bowland forest to General Monk, afterwards Earl of Albemarle: he died 1669, leaving one son; he
married Lady Elizabeth Cavendish. She afterwards married Ralph Montague, created in 1705 Duke of
Montague. He died 1709, and she, without issue, 1734; when the estates of Earl of Albemarle, in Bow-
land, passed to the successors of this Ralph, Duke of Montague, now the Duke of Buccleuch.
In the same way did Charles I., in the 4th year of his reign, 1629, sell the manor of West Derby,
Everton, and various other places.—Everton was part of the duchy lands.

the Treasurer's Remembrancer, in the Exchequer. The greater portion of the Work contains the Manors in the different
Counties, and their Lords, in the Year 1316:.. that of Lancaster, however, occupies but a single Page, and contains the
following “Nomina,” corrected as they stood in 1565; with a few Memoranda, on an opposite page, relating to some of
the early Lords.--Most of the families settled in Lancashire in 1316 would be found there in 1565, and many yet remain
there in the subsequent list; but there are very many omitted in this list; however, above 60 was the number published,
for which gamekeepers were appointed, in the year 1814.

This imperfect list of noblemen, gentlemen, and even freeholders, is fully supplied in the preceding
list for the musters, beginning at folio 26 to 31 inclusive ; which, I make no doubt, includes all who held
under the crown or dukedom. Camden says, “Gilbert de Culcheth held in fee from Almerick Butler, as
Almerick held from Earl Ferrariis.” It is very likely the muster before detailed is the most copious list to
be met with of families in Lancashire at the time of the memorable exertions against the threatened inva-
sion from Spain.
The commissioners of array and leading men of the county exerted themselves very much, and in a
very laudable way invited the people to stand forward. The names, however, of the natives, as well as
their orthography, have been very fluctuating in Lancashire. A remarkable instance is to be seen in the
famous family of Holcrofts, who were much enriched by their union with the Culchets or Kulcheths,
whose eldest daughter married Richard Hindley, the son of Hugh Hindley, and he took the name of
Culchet. The second brother married the second daughter of Culchet, and was called, from the estate,
Holcroft; whilst a third brother was called Peasfalong, and a fourth De Rieley.
Most of the heads of families in Lancashire formerly bore the same name as the town or estate: thus—
Asheton of Asheton, or Ashton ; Bamford of Bamford, Croston of Croston, Cunliffe of Cundliffe, Dalton
of Dalton, Eccleston of Eccleston, Fazakerley of Fazakerley, Walton of Walton, Hallsal of Halsall, Garston

other respectable families.
Bloom, in his Britannia, gives the names of 226 families of respectability, anno 1670, in Lancashire,
and at the same time only 7177 in all England and Wales. He states the number to be 224 in Cheshire.'
There are as many more gentlemen whose names have no relation to the names of the estates. The
Ashetons or Ashtons, for instance, a thriving family, were transplanted to more than a dozen places of note
in Lancashire—viz. Chadderton, Middleton, Shipley, Bamford, Lever, Penketh, Mersey Bank, Croston,
Ribble Bank, Bamferlong, Mackerfield, Whalley, and Curedale. Some part of this family is ennobled.
Among the Lancashire gentry we find the names of Lostock, Lydiate, and Clayton; the Mullineuxs' of
Melling, Hawkesley, Mosely, Mawdesley, Speke, Crosby, Rainhill, etc. etc. Such also was another knightly
family—the Radcliffes of Todmorden, Ordsale, Wimmerly, Smithells, Foxdenton, Chadderton, etc. Not
least, or last, is the noble family of Stanley, Earls of Derby, of Knowsley, and formerly Lathom, and Lord
of Man ; from whence the Stanleys of Alderly, of Cumberland, Crosshall, Bickersteth”:—Bootle of Lathom,
Blundell of Crosby and Alonsdale, Blundell of Ince Blundell.
Numerous other families of considerable note are mentioned in Bloom's Britannia,” and Fuller's
History." Camden says—“In Lancashire, Cheshire, and the other northern parts, families called them-
selves after the names of their towns; of these very many are of great antiquity, and I once for all
observe, as they rose by their bravery, and grew up more and more by their frugality, and the ancient self-
content and simplicity,+so in the south parts of England, luxury, usury, debaucheries, and cheating, have
undone the most flourishing families in a short time, insomuch that many complain how the old race of
our nobility fades and decays.” g -
#ougeſult, 3300k of Øſtjomag (Earl of £antagter.
To persons who are curious after the manners, customs, and grandeur in which the nobility lived in
former times, it may not be unpleasing to be presented with the following account of the disbursements of
that great nobleman Thomas Earl of Lancaster, in his domestic expenses for one whole year, made out by
Henry Leicester, his cofferer, 1313; at which time silver was at one shilling and eight pence the ounce,
so that twelve ounces made a pound sterling : his total expenses £7957: 13:44, being equal in our
money to twenty-two thousand and seventy-eight pounds seventeen shillings and eight pence: whence it
is evident he must have had a great estate, if we consider at all the great disparity betwixt the price of
provisions then and now."

AND THEIR UNION IN THE PERSON OF HENRY WII.
HENRY IV. of England, after he had deprived Richard II. of his crown, bestowed great favours on his
friends. To Henry Percy, Earl of Northumberland, he gave the Isle of Man, which he had achieved by
conquest. To strengthen his interest, he determined to send honourable ambassadors to Rome, France,
Spain, and Germany ; amongst these were Percy, Earl of Worcester, Sir John Cheny, Knt., John Cheny,
Esq., William Heron, Sir William Parr, Knt. As he elevated some, the king disgraced others. Duke
Albemarle, son of the Duke of York; Thomas Holland, Duke of Surrey and Earl of Kent ; John Holland,
Duke of Exeter, Earl of Huntingdon; Thomas de Spencer, Duke of Gloucester, were all deprived of their
dukedoms; and beside being greatly restrained in power, were allowed to have no badge or retainers:
the king retained their honors, castles, and manors, to enrich himself and followers. He was scarcely
seated on the throne, when he found sufficient employment to counteract a body of powerful enemies who,
influenced by gratitude to, or the hope of reward from, Richard, wished to restore that prince to the throne.
These plots, however, only served to hasten the royal prisoner's destruction: Stow tells us that “he was
starved to death, having suffered hunger, thirst, and cold, for fifteen days and fifteen nights.”
The revolt of the Welsh under Owen Glendower caused Henry no little trouble: the battle of Hali-
downe Hill against the Scots, 1402, redounded to the honour of Hotspur, Lord Percy, and his father the
Earl of Northumberland, and others; but not satisfied with the rewards conferred upon them by King
Henry, they conspired with Owen Glendower and the Lord Edward Mortimer, Earl of March, who married
his daughter; John Holland, Earl of Kent, Thomas Holland, Earl of Huntingdon, both half-brothers to
the late King Richard ; Lord le Spencer, who married Constance, the daughter of Edmund, Earl of Cam-
bridge ; and many others. The malcontents raised great forces out of Chester and elsewhere; King
Henry met them near Shrewsbury, where the rebellious host was completely discomfited : Hotspur was
slain fighting valiantly, and many of his companions taken prisoners: the Earl of Gloucester was beheaded
at Bristol, Thomas Holland at Windsor, the Earl of Huntingdon at Cirencester; the Earl of Dowglass, Sir
John Shelly, the trusty knight of the Earl of Huntingdon, Sir Richard Vernon, and the Baron of Kinderton,
were also all beheaded. In this battle 200 of the knights and squires in Cheshire and five thousand com-
mon soldiers were slain. Of his party, Henry lost the Earl of Stafford, besides Sir Walter Blount, the
king's standard-bearer, with ten new knights—Sir John Shorley, Sir John Clifton, Sir John Cokain, Sir
Nicholas Gawsell or Gentel, Sir John Calverly, Sir John Massie of Podington, Sir Hugh Mortimer, Sir
Robert Gawsell or Gentel, Sir Thomas Wendesley (who died of his wounds soon after the battle), and Sir
Walter Blount, knt.
This termination of the contest did not deter the Earl Marshal Thomas Mowbray from making fresh
efforts against Henry. With Richardle Scroop, Archbishop of York, Earl Thomas had gathered a powerful
army together: but without any battle taking place, both he and the archbishop were delivered by stratagem
into the hands of the Earl of Westmoreland, and beheaded at York, anno 1405. The Earl of Northum-
berland, after he had been released from imprisonment, being joined by Lord Bardolph, raised an army in
the north. They were pursued, but escaped into Scotland. Next year, however, they were met by Sir
Thomas Rockley, High Sheriff of Yorkshire, who had a sharp contest with the Earl of Northumberland,
when the latter was slain, and Lord Bardolph mortally wounded : their heads were cut off and carried igno-
miniously to London, 1408. -
These conflicts were followed by the establishment of a peace between the houses of York and Lancaster
which continued until the 28th year of Henry VI. when their rancour was renewed, and the first battle
was fought under Richard Plantagenet. The Yorkists having now united with the family of Lionel, Duke
of Clarence, whilst that of Thomas of Woodstock, Duke of Buckingham, was united with the house of
Lancaster in the person of Margaret, mother of Henry VII. King of England ; Richard Plantagenet, Duke
of York, father of Edward IV., commenced active measures, taking every opportunity by subtilty, by per-
jury, by fraud and force, to deprive Henry VI. of his best friends, and to get the crown. The Duke of
Suffolk, charged with the murder of Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, was banished, but beheaded on his
passage by the Yorkists, 1450.
Jack Cade's insurrection occurred about this period: Cade, as Captain of Kent, demanded that the
Duke of York should be recalled from Ireland, and that those who were concerned in the murder of
Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, should be punished. By this mob Lord Say was beheaded in Cheapside;
and one Cromers, an Esquire and High Sheriff of Kent, suffered a similar fate at Mile End. After the
suppression of Cade's insurrection, the Duke of York took up arms under pretence of reforming the state.
His first attempt was to impeach Edmund, Duke of Somerset, who strenuously supported Henry's interest,
as the Duke of Suffolk had done before. Thomas, Earl of Salisbury, Richard his son, Thomas Courtney,
Earl of Devonshire, Edmund Brook, Lord Cobham, and others, adopted every expedient to confer the
crown upon the Duke of York. Regardless of their oaths, they assailed the king at St. Albans, where the
Duke of Somerset, Earls of Northumberland and Stafford, the Lord Clifford, five thousand Lancastrians and
five hundred Yorkists were slain, May 23, 1455, besides numerous knights and esquires. The king was
taken prisoner; and a parliament being called, the Duke of York made himself protector, the Earl of Salis-
bury, chancellor; and the Earl of Warwick, captain of Calais. These noblemen, however, were soon re-
moved from the places they had been chosen to fill. The battle betwixt the Earl of Salisbury and Lord
Audley, upon Bloor Heath, followed, Sept. 23, 1459. The fight was long and bloody, and ended unfor-
tunately for King Henry : two thousand four hundred were slain, amongst them many Cheshire men. No
better success attended the king at the battle of Northampton, July 9, 1460, when the Duke of Bucking-
ham, the Earl of Shrewsbury, Wiscount Beaumont, Thomas Lord Egremont, Sir William Lacy, and the king

himself were taken prisoners and conducted to London—ten thousand common men were slain. The next
battle occurred at Wakefield, and was headed by the Duke of Somerset and Exeter. The Earls of Devon-
shire and Wiltshire, the Lords Nevil, Clifford, and Ross, the Duke of York, and his son the Duke of Rut-
land, were slain ; the son of Sir Thomas Nevil, Sir David Hall, with many knights and others, in number
about two thousand eight hundred, fell a sacrifice; the Earl of Salisbury was taken prisoner, and beheaded
at Pomfret ; Lord Harrington was slain in the field.
The Earl of March, son of the Duke of York, on the death of his father at Wakefield, removed from
Gloucester, where he lived, to Shrewsbury, and raised an army. Having met Jasper, Earl of Pembroke,
and James Butler, Earl of Ormond, at Mortimer's Cross, he gave them battle, and killed three thousand
eight hundred, taking Owen Tudor prisoner, who with others was beheaded at Hereford, Feb. 25, 1461.
The queen, after the success at Wakefield, marched south, and at a second battle at St. Albans (Feb. 17,
1461) relieved her husband, to whom she introduced her son, who was knighted, with thirty other persons.
Edward IV. was now declared king, March 4, 1461, and crowned in the south ; whilst Henry, in the
north, was gathering a large army at Ferry Bridge. Edward did not relax his exertions, but left London
12th of March with a large force, and marched to Pomfret, where he rested—appointing the Lord Fitz-
walter to keep Ferry Bridge; whilst Henry bestowed the command of his army upon the Duke of
Somerset, the Earl of Northumberland, and Lord Clifford. Lord Clifford made an attack on the passage
of the bridge, where Lord Fitzwalter and the Bastard of Salisbury, brother of Warwick, were slain. The
battle became general, and many Lancastrians were included in the total loss, which was 35,091 ; the
Lords Beaumont, Nevil, Willoughby, Will Dacres, Fitzhough, Beckenham, and Clifford, were amongst the
killed. At the battle of Hexham King Henry had no better fate; there his friends were taken prisoners.
Henry escaped for a year to Scotland, but was afterwards taken in disguise by Warwick, at Saleburie,
Lancashire; and in the manner of a notorious offender (his legs being tied under his horse's belly) brought
to the tower of London, anno 1464. In 1470 Warwick changed his politics; and though he had been so
averse to Henry, he now conspired with the Duke of Clarence to set him again on the throne; Edward,
dismayed, left England to seek succours abroad; and Henry was liberated after being nine years a
prisoner in the tower. A parliament was called, which abrogated many of Edward's acts, and appointed
(1470) George Plantagenet, Edward the Fourth’s younger brother, to be the successor of Henry VI., thus
setting aside his own brother Edward IV. ; this George Plantagenet had married the daughter of the Earl
of Warwick. But the tide soon turned, and King Edward was once more triumphant; the citizens of
London opened their gates to receive him, and Henry again became his prisoner. Shortly afterwards the
battle of St. Albans occurred, on the issue of which the Duke of Somerset, the Earl of Oxford, and other
noblemen, escaped into Wales, and joined Jasper, Earl of Pembroke to restore King Henry. Two days
after Edward entered London, Margaret the queen landed with her son Prince Edward; she was soon
joined by the Duke of Somerset, John Lord Somerset, the Lords St. John and Wenlock, John Courtenay,
Earl of Devonshire, Sir John Delves, Sir Edward Hampden, Sir Robert Whittingham, Sir John Lewknor,
and others, most of whom were at the battle of Tewkesbury. The Prince of Wales was brought a
prisoner before Edward IV., and afterwards murdered by the Duke of Gloucester, who imbrued his hands
in the blood of Henry VI., May 1472, the year after he had murdered his own nephew the Prince of
Wales. In 1474 the bodies of Henry Holland, Duke of Exeter, and Henry, Duke of Somerset, were found
naked between Dover and Calais; how these noblemen came by their death was not made public. The
Duke of Exeter married Anne, daughter of the Duke of York and sister to the king.
The disputes between the houses of York and Lancaster began anno 1455, when Richard Plantagenet
drew his sword at the battle of St. Albans to enforce his claim to the crown of England; and, after twelve
subsequent battles, including that of Bosworth Field, which was fought on August 22, 1486, the two Roses
were happily united.

OF all history none concerns us more than that of our own country. Whilst the histories of the ancient
Grecians, Romans, Egyptians, Persians, and Chinese, are sought after with such avidity, Surely we cannot
be indifferent to know the manners, customs, and possessions of our own ancestors at a far less distant
period. The most ancient and valuable record that exists in the archives of this kingdom is
THE DOOMSDAY BOOK,
which is at this day in such high credit, that if a question arise whether a manor, parish, or lands, be
antient demesne, the issue must be tried by it. This work, which has always been kept with great care, is
in two volumes; one a large book called great Doomsday Book, consisting of 382 leaves of vellum, written
on both sides in a neat legible hand, almost pure Roman, with a mixture of Saxon; the other volume is
in quarto, and contains 450 leaves of vellum, which treat on Essex, Norfolk, and Suffolk; the remaining
counties are comprised in the large volume, save Northumberland, Cumberland, and Westmoreland, which,
from the state of the kingdom and the ravages of war, or their being in the hands of the Scots, or in such a
48 Greggon's 330rtfolio of fragments:
distracted condition that neither commissioners nor juries dared adventure into them to make a survey, are
not noticed. Part of Rutland is included in Northamptonshire, folio 293, and part in Lincolnshire, folio 367.
Lancashire does not occur; but that part which lies between the river Ribble [Ripa) and Mersey
[Mersha] is in Cestre-scire or Cheshire, page 269; the other part is in Yorkshire;’ and the rest might be
omitted, owing either to the king's death, or to the debateable lands being then subject to inroads. This
desideratum may in some parts be supplied by the Feodaries under the fee of the Honor of Lancaster,
taken from Testa de Nevill about 1272, the Charter Rolls, and Duchy Office Records.
The great antiquarian Hearne wished to see this valuable book printed; and Government, so late as
1767, introduced the subject in parliament, when an estimate was ordered of the expense of a fac-simile,
to be engraved from the original ; the sum was £20,000 for 1250 copies, each comprised in 1664 engraved
plates. An edition was printed with moveable types in 1780; but it is to be regretted that it has not
any title page, nor is it accompanied with any introduction ; a glossary or index has recently been added.
Specimens of the original style in which the Doomsday Book was written may be seen in Nichols's History
of Leicestershire; Manning's History of Surrey; Dr. Nash's History and Collections of Worcestershire; Gale's
Registrum of the Honor of Richmond; Mourant's Essea; ; Grose's Antiquities; and a very bad one in Hicks's
Thesaurus, vol. i. p. 144. .
The order generally observed in this book, in writing the survey, is set down at the head of every
county, except Chester, page 262, and Rutland; the king's name, *ter ºilſelmus, is then inserted,
followed by a list of the bishops, religious houses, churches, and great men, according to their rank, that
held of the king in capite in that county, as also of his thanes, ministers, and servants, with a numerical
figure in red ink before them, for reference. In some counties the cities and capital boroughs, with the
laws and particular customs of each, are noticed before the great tenants are entered.
This survey was begun, according to some, 1983, 17 William I. ; according to the Sazon Chronicle,
1085; but the Red Book of the Eachequer states its commencement to be 14 William I., 1080, and its
completion 1086. More particulars of this famous book may be found in Nichols's History of Leicestershire.
It is now kept in the Chapter House in Westminster, under the Inspector of Records in the receipt of the
Exchequer: the fee for searching it is 6s. 8d., and for transcribing, 4d. a line; these were the fees taken
in Queen Elizabeth's time, and they were then called antient fees. The Latin translation made by Mr.
Squire for Sir Peter Leycester's History of Cheshire cost about ten or eleven pounds.
Our ancestors, previously to William's time, had many Doome Books. A similar survey to that
instituted by the Conqueror was taken by Alfred about 893. Historians say that England, which had
before been divided into tythings and parishes, was divided into counties in the year 636. Alfred's survey
consisted of the division into hides and manors, which were registered and the amount deposited among
the archives of the church, whence it was called the Winchester Book.
Edward the Confessor imposed Danegeld; and his survey of the kingdom, which was held by 700
immediate vassals of the crown, often refers to Alfred's Doome Book; as Alfred referred to the value in the
time of Ethelred, and the Conqueror to King Edward the Confessor's Book.
The loose manner of spelling the names of English places in Doomsday Book cannot be wondered at,
when it is considered that the Normans had the chief hand in compiling the returns; and that the Anglo-
Saxon language was so difficult for them to pronounce that they were unwilling to encourage its use; indeed
they would not suffer the lawyers to plead, nor allow children to be instructed in it; seldom copying from
writings, they wrote from the mouth of the Saxon informant, whose pronunciation appeared more easy and
soft than they could render the words. This aversion from the language may account for the loss of
Alfred's Domboc.
4th King Edward I. the king made an inquiry as to the Extenta Maneri; ; and
9th Edward II. a mandate was issued by the king to the several sheriffs of the kingdom to return
the names of the hundreds in every county, and of the several burghs and towns in each. Returns were
made in consequence: those for six counties are preserved in the Harleian MSS., cod. 2195.
In these returns there are many towns, and even cities, now considerable for wealth and property,
omitted, as not being held by the king or his tenants in capite, but by their feudatarii and under tenants.
Many places are not there mentioned which might have been included in the survey of other parishes: the
commissioners too were often partial towards religious houses—bishops and nobility found the same favour.
But the design was useful upon the whole, as its execution served to expose the sources of taxation, and
to prevent undue impositions upon the subject.
“In ancient times one entire hundred was often the possession of one great man ; and frequently one
knight was possessed of several hundreds to make up one knight's fee. The division into counties was
therefore frequently personal rather than territorial: a certain number of knights’ fees were allotted to
make up a county, and the knights were bound to send a number of men to the king's wars, and to pay
such taxes or impositions as were laid on them. Of course all knights' tenants were bound to the lord
for the performance of such duties as the lord was engaged to perform to the king.
“These knights’ fees were divided into manors, for the convenience of occupation and civil judica-
ture: it was expedient that each manor should have a portion of every kind of land necessary for the
subsistence of the tenants; but as it frequently happened that meadow land, and above all wood land for
fuel, was not to be had within the limits of the manor, the lord allotted to such manors portions of such
descriptions of land from those manors where such land abounded, which was frequently at a considerable
distance; as is the case with Workingham in Berks, which was forest land allotted to divers manors in Wilt-
shire for the purpose of fuel, wood land being scarce in Wiltshire: many instances occur in other counties.
“When those manors with this attachment were consolidated into counties, the land so attached and
its inhabitants being part of the mother manors, and contributing as well personal as pecuniary services,
were esteemed part of those manors; and as the aggregate of many manors composed a county, those
detached lands were considered as attached to the mother county; and they still continue rated and
taxed, and the inhabitants do personal service at the assizes and sessions, to such county to this day.”

The ancient demesne of the crown at the time of William's Doomsday Book amounted to 1422 manors;
the value of which at this date would not be less than one hundred times as much as it was in the
Conqueror's reign. An ox was valued, when Doomsday Book was compiled, at 7s 6d. ; about 1770 it was
worth £7 10s; its present value (1817) in England is nearly £20. Previously to the capture of Buenos
Ayres, an ox was brought to our ships, without its hide, for a dollar.
Roger of Poictou was of no mean extraction in his own country: the following genealogy and descent
of that family from the Montgomerys in France prove it; and great possessions were given and confirmed
to them in this country until Henry I. finally banished them England : Speed says they were banished
1102. They waged war with Henry in Normandy, joining themselves to Duke Robert, the king's
unfortunate elder brother, whose interest they had espoused.—The possessions which the elder brother
had, as Earl of Arundel, Shrewsbury, etc. were immense; whilst our Roger, as some assert, had all the
lands betwixt the Ribble and the Mersey, with Amounderness, Furness, and Lonsdale hundreds, with
jura regalia. The lands betwixt the Ribble and the Mersey are entered under the head of Cestre-scire ;
whilst those of Amounderness are under Yorkshire : the former folio 269, the latter, 301; and, as has
been observed, other parts of Lancashire will be found dispersed over the accounts of the West Riding of
York, to which it adjoins, and in which Roger had not less than fifty manors, folio 331; he held besides
two carucates of land in Conistone.' The same Roger held five manors in Derbyshire, and the Soke
of Beighton; he held in Nottinghamshire three manors;” but in Lincolnshire he had thirty-two
manors; besides the Soke of Raisin and the manor; and many other lands, on which he had many vassals,
borders, villeins, and sokemen, with oxen for ploughs and draught, mills, fisheries, wood, meadows, etc."
Roger's associates in Lancashire had with him large possessions in other counties. Gosfridus, elsewhere
called Geofry Alselin, was sheriff of Lancashire from the 7th of William Rufus to the 1st of Henry I.; what
became of him is not known ; but perhaps he shared the fate of his friend Roger. He held three manors
in Yorkshire,” and in Derbyshire he had free manors and the Soke of Breason. In Nottinghamshire
Gosfridus held six manors, and many other lands, churches, mills, woods, etc.," together with three
manors and the Soke of Dorrington, on which were ten ploughs and one hundred and sixty-three acres of
meadow ;’ he had also many other lands in the wapentake of Flaxwell, Lincolnshire, and in
Northamptonshire.”
Roger de Busli, who held Blackburnshire, Lancashire, with Albert Greslet, or Grelly, had large
possessions in Yorkshire: he held fifty-five manors in the wapentake of Morley, with other estates, in
which Tickhill was included:” he had besides in Derbyshire nine manors;” but in Nottinghamshire
he had an immense estate, not less than one hundred and eighty-nine manors, besides various lands; all
these lay in the wapentakes of Newark, Basset Law, Lythe, Thurgarton, Rushcliffe, Binghamshou, and in
North Clay division of Basset Law, wepentakes in the same hundred;” he likewise possessed two
manors and other lands in Lincolnshire.”
Warren held lands in Lancashire under Roger, and William Warren held lands in Yorkshire;’3 he
had also lands in Lincolnshire.”
Of the foregoing, Roger de Busli, or Buci,” and Geoffry Alselin also held lands in Leicestershire;"
and most likely these great Normans had other lands in England, as had -
Ilbert de Lacy, the founder of the Lacy family. It is not found that he had any possessions in
Lancashire at the time of making Doomsday Book ; but he was connected with the constable of Cheshire.
Roger Lacy, seventh constable, married into this family; he was surnamed Hell, in consequence of his
fierce and magnanimous spirit; but in compliment to his relative he assumed the name of Lacy instead of
Constable, 1195, temp. King John.
Roger Lacy purchased of Robert Bushel, or Busli, the Barony of Penwortham, Lancashire, to hold of
John King of England and his heirs in capite ; for which he acquitted the said Roger de Bushel of 310
marks of silver due to King John.”—[Coucher Book, Duchy Office, No. 78, fol. 79].
This Roger gave the church of Rochdale, Lancashire, which belonged to the honor of Pomfret, to the
abbey of Stanlaw.
Roger. Lacy marrried Maude le Clare, June 24, 1657, from whom the Constables of Flambrough,
Everingham, etc., are descended. His son John Lacy was constable of Cheshire, and afterwards Earl of
Lincoln ; the estates of which family ended in Alice, the wife of Thomas Plantagenet, Earl of
Lancaster.”

* Some of this great family must have remained in England after the banishment of these Earls of Arundel, Shrewsbury, Lancashire, and Pembroke, or returned; for in time of King John we find William de Montgomery

R.ING Edward the Confessor had there one manor called Derbie, with six Berewicks. There are four

ment of all customary duties except geldam, or danegeld. There is land to four ploughs,” and it was
worth twenty shillings.
Bernulf held Stochestede (TOXTETH). There was one virgate of land and half a plough : it paid four
shillings.
Stainulf held Stochestede (TOXTETH). There is one virgate of land and half a carucate or plough
land: it was worth four shillings."
Five Thames held Sextone (SEFTON). There is one hide; it was worth sixteen shillings.
Uctred held Chirchdele (KIRKDALE). There is half a hide quit from all custom except the tax: it
was worth ten shillings.
Winestan held Waleton (WALTON). There are two carucates of land and three bovates: it was worth

Three Thames held Hinne (INCE BLUNDELL) for three manors. There is half a hide : it was worth
eight shillings.
Ascha held Torentune (THORNTON). There is half a hide : it was worth eight shillings.
- Three Thames held Mele (MEOLS) for three manors. There is half a hide : it was worth eight
shillings.
Uctred held Uluentune (WOOLTON). There are two carucates of land, and half-a-mile of wood: it
was worth eighty-four pence.
Edelmundus held Esmedune (SMEDONE, now LIVERPOOL or LITHERPOLE). There is one caru-
cate of land: it was worth thirty-two pence.

Collation—a Roger de Poictou held the undermentioned land between Ribble and Mersey. ” The land is fifteen. Carucates:
• All through the term rendered mile was a leuva or about a mile and a half, d Two miles long and two broad. “In this and all
like cases, read “the land is four carucates.” J. Little Woolton.
* “Berewick:” that is, a manor within a manor. “There are four hides:” that is, at the time the survey Was taken. “A
forest two miles long :” some learned antiquarians say, it is not intended to convey the idea of one wood only, but all the woods in
the different parts of the manor.—REv. MR. BAWDWEN. -
* Being four carucates of land.
* This is, as some think, a mistake in the original, of which there are many in Dom. D. Boc ; the car. trº. should be car. only,
because a virgate is only the one-fourth part of carucate ; consequently it would have been put dimid caruc' traº 7. 1. virg. , and
therefore I suppose that half a carucate should be half a plough. By a plough is always meant in Doomsday Book a team of eight
ozen : so that fifteen ploughs or teams were thought sufficient to till four hides of arable in West Derby. —BAWDWEN.

The demesne of this manor, held by Roger, is worth eight pounds. There are now in demesne three
ploughs,” six neatherds, and one radman and seven villeins. -

In the reign of King Edward the Confessor Neweton (NEWTON) consisted of five hides: one of these
was held in demesne. The church of this manor had one carucate of land ; and Saint Oswald of this
villaged had two carucates exempt from all taxation. tº
Fifteen men called Drenches held the other land of this manor for fifteen manors; but they were
berewicks of this manor, and they paid altogether thirty shillings. There is wood ten miles long, and six

The freemen of this hundred, except two, had the same customs as the men of Derbie: they reaped
the king's fields two days more in August. Those two had five carucates of land, and the forfeiture for
bloodshed and ravishment, and the homage of their tenants or vassals,' the king had the others.” The
whole manor of Neweton paid to the king ten pounds ten shillings. There are now there six, drenghs,

to which thanes there belonged eleven hides and a half and ten carucates and a half of land, with wood
nine miles and a half long, and five and a quarenten 9 broad.
One of these thanes, called Gamel, holding two hides of land in Recedham (ROCHDALE) had them
free from all duties” but the following six—viz. breach of peace, obstructing the king's road, inveigling of
servants, forced payments of just debts, and not appearing at the day appointed by the proper officer; the
fines for these offences were forty shillings.” The rest of these lands were free from all customs except
danegeld, and they are partly free from danegeld.
The whole manor, with the hundred of Salford, paid thirty-seven pounds four shillings. There are
now in the manor, in the demesne, two ploughs and eight bondmen; and two villeins with one plough.”

freemen held as twelve manors: in these are six hides and eight carucates; there are woods six miles long,
and three and a quarenten" broad. The men of this manor P of Salford did not work as customary for the
king at the hall, nor did they reap in August ; they only made one hay in the wood:4 they were subject
to the same fines and amercements as other superior manors.” The whole of the manor of Lailand, with
the hundred, rendered to the king nineteen pounds eighteen shillings and two pence. Of the land in this
manor Girardus holds one hide and a half, Robertus three carucates, Randolphus’ two carucates,” Walterus
one carucate. There were four radmans, a chaplain,” and fourteen villeins, and six bordars, and two
neatherds: between them they have eight ploughs,” wood three miles long and two miles broad, and four
aeries of hawks. The whole is worth two pounds ten shillings—part is waste land.
King Edward held Peneverdant (Penwortham) where there are two carucates of land, which rendered ten
pence. There is now a castle there; and there are two ploughs” in the demesne, six burgesses, three
radmans, eight villeins, and four neatherds; between all they have four ploughs;” there is half a fishery,
a wood, and aeries of hawks. In the time of King Edward 9 it is valued at three pounds sterling.”
In these six hundreds, Derbie, Neutone, Walintune, Blacheburne, Salford, and Lailand, there are one
hundred fourscore and eight manors, in which there are fourscore hides, save one, to be taxed. In the time
of King Edward they were valued at one hundred and forty-five pounds two shillings and two pence. When
Rogerius Pictavensis received them from the king they were valued at one hundred and twenty pounds. The
king now holds them, and has in the demesne twelve ploughs,” and nine knights holding a fee: between
them and their vassals there are one hundred and fifteen ploughs" and three oxen. The demesne which
Roger held is valued at twenty-three pounds ten shillings, and what he gave to the knights at twenty
pounds eleven shillings.

FROM the CHARTER Rolls in the Tower of London, beginning in the first year of King John, 1199, and
ending with the reign of EDWARD IV. 1483. Their contents are thus described in the return made by
Thomas Astle, Esq., Keeper of the Records in the Tower, to the order of the Select Committee of the
House of Commons, and printed in the reports thereon, page 53:—“They contain the royal grants of
privileges of cities and towns; grants of markets, fairs, and free warrens; grants of creation of nobility,
from the eleventh year of the reign of Edward II. to the end of the reign of Edward IV. ; grants of privi-
leges to religious houses, &c.” - -
The Calendar of the Charter Rolls (of which an abridgment is here made of the part most interesting
to the history of Lancashire) is printed from three volumes preserved in the Record Office, apparently
written in the time of James I., and printed 1803, by order of his Majesty made 1800."

EXTRACTS,
As FAR AS RELATE TO LANCASHIRE,
FROM THE
(ſaltmarium ſinguisitimum at qugh Dammum.
THE INQUISITIONEs AD QUOD DAMNUM commence with the first year of the reign of EDWARD II. 1307,
and end with the thirty-eighth year of HENRY WI. 1460. These records are in the above return described
thus:—“They were taken by virtue of writs directed to the escheator of each county, when any grant of
a market, fair, or other privilege, or licence of alienation of lands, was solicited, to enquire by a jury
whether such grant or alienation was prejudicial to the king or to others, in case the same should be made.”
The Calendar to the Inquisitiones ad quod Damnum is printed from one lately made by Mr. Robert
Lemon, chief clerk in the office, under the direction of Thomas Astle, Esq."

EXTRA CTS,
RELATIVE TO LAN CASHIRE,
TAKEN FROM
Caltmilarium ſinguisitimum CŞt füortem.
THE Records preserved in the Tower of London, entitled INQUISITIONES POST MORTEM, or, as they are
sometimes called, ESCHEATs, commence with the early part of the reign of HENRY III. and end with the
third year of RICHARD III. Of the nature of these records the following account was given by the late
Thomas Astle, Esq., Keeper of the Records in the Tower, in his return to the order of the Select Committee
of the House of Commons, appointed to inquire into the State of the Public Records in the Kingdom,
printed in the reports thereupon made, page 54, viz.-“These records are preserved in bundles, chrono-
logically arranged; they were taken by virtue of writs, directed to the escheators of each county or district,
to summon a jury on oath, who were to enquire what lands any person died seized of, and by what rents
or services the same were held, and who was the next heir, and what age the heir was, that the king might
be informed of his right of escheat or wardship ; they also show whether the tenant was attainted of treason,
or was an alien ; in either of which cases they were seized into the king's hands; they likewise show the
quantity, quality, and value of the lands of which each tenant died seized, &c., and they are the best
evidences of the descents of families and of property.”
The Calendar to these records now published is a transcript of the official calendars, revised and
corrected, with the originals by Mr. Robert Lemon, chief clerk in the Tower. (Printed in 3 folio vols.
1806.)" *

gules, a castle, or, for Castile ; 2d and 3d, gules, a lion rampant, purpure, for Leon ; 4th as the first.—Margerita, sister of Philip
the Fair, and queen to Edward I. was the first queen who empaled her arms with her husband's upon her Seal (which became the
custom in those days) by dimidiation, that is, by halving or cutting the shield of both husband and wife into two equal parts, and
then joining the dexter half of the husband's with the sinister half of the wife's, thus making a whole shield. The nobility and gentry
followed the example. There were two other modes afterwards adopted—dimidiating the husband's coat, and impaling the whole of
the wife's coat of arms, except in the case of a border; but dimidiation was soon laid aside, and whole coats impaled or quartered.
From the time of Edward III. to that of Henry VII. it was the frequent practice of the gentry to quarter the wife's arms; and, if
she were of greater dignity of family, to place her arms on the 1st and 4th quarter, and the husband's on the 2d. This sort of
quartering was not esteemed, and was therefore discontinued. Where the wife is an heiress, the husband bears her arms on an
escutcheon of pretence, and their issue quarter their father and mother's arms.-Waldegrave bears, party per pale argent and gules;
by the original mode of dimidiation, he could only bear a plain field argent, conjoined with his wife's arms.-See John of Gaunt's
pedigree, Waldegrave's arms, fig. 30, where borders are borne by either husband or wife, simply impaled or quartered. The border is
omitted in that part which meets the other coat.

1 On the first of Henry IV. and within 150 years previously, there were founded, and re-founded, four hundred and seventy-
six abbeys and priories, besides eighty-one alien priories. It does not appear that any alien priories were founded after the reign
of Edward I. The whole number was about ninety-six; fourteen having been founded after the reign of Henry III. Many chantries,
houses of friars, hospitals, colleges, a few houses of monks, and one Benedictine house, that of Holand, in Lancashire, were
founded after the death of Henry III. ; but after that of Edward III. (one hundred and sixty years before the dissolution) no mon-
astery for monks, nuns, or canons, except Sion, and five chantries, were established. Here the nation seems to have lost its taste for
such institutions.— Wide Tanner.
* Near Wiggan—“Hard by stands Holland, from whom the Hollands, a most famous family (who were Earls of Kent and Surry
[and Huntington—ED.], and Dukes of Exeter), took their name and original. The daughter and heir of the eldest brother, who flour-
ished here under the degree and title of knight, being at last married to the Lovels, brought them both the estate and arms of this
family, namely, in a field azure florete, argent, a lion rampant gard. argt.”—Camden, fol. 791.

It is said that one Holt of Whitwell usurped the arms of Holt
of Stubley : Sir John Prestwich's MS. says—“Charles Holt of Whitwell married Mary daughter and co-heir of Holt of Stubley, and
“usurped the coat without right, as he was only a yeoman. I, John Prestwich, arm. have seen several deeds, wherein it fully ap-
“peared, that this family were a younger son of the house of Stubley—however, it is a true saying, that a blank is better than a blot,
“which indeed Mr. St. George has verified by his endeavouring to make this branch of no account; the matter speaks for itself—
“where there is no money there is no paternoster.”—Thus far Sir John Prestwich, whose copious collection of arms of the Lanca-
shire families, taken from the visitations of various heralds in Lancashire, is in the possession of the editor ; it consists of 289 pages,
besides an index, and was copied from those visitations deposited in the British Museum.

* The Ffarringtons are an ancient and respectable family of this county, and resided at Farrington, Ribbelton, Linguard, and

* Spellawe, now the property of the Right Hon. Earl of Derby, formerly, we are informed, belonged to the Fazakerleys. It
contains 83% statute acres of ancient land, here called a carucate, which in Dorsetshire seldom measures more than 60 acres, yet is
often found in other places to measure 100 and upwards; 15 acres are called an oxgang; 8 oxgangs a carucate or 120 acres (but
generally taken at 100); 12 carucates a hide from 1200 to 1440 acres.—Dugdale says, 4 yard lands in Lancashire make a hide, and
each hide contains 6 carucates.—(Warwickshire, vol. i. fol. 65.) The waste land inclosed from Walton Breck now makes this
estate of Spellawe nearly 107 acres.
* The Radcliffes have been a wide-spreading and honourable family in Lancashire: their arms, as above, blazoned 10th of
Richard II. in the Bispham pedigree (one of the ancestors of Sir Robert Holt Leigh, Bart.), drawn up 1640, by Henry Sir George,
Norroy King at Arms, and esteemed a masterly pedigree.—ED.
* Now Stodday.

1 These possessions were given to John of Gaunt, son of the king, and afterwards Duke of Lancaster, when two years and a half
old; and he held the earldom from anno 16 to 46 Edward III., being created Earl 1342. The above inquisition was taken of John de
Dreux, whose half-brother, John Breno, held it for about one year.—See Vincent, fol. 68 and 72–ED.

* Summoned to Parliament 18th and 20th Edward II. and 1st and 23d of Edward III.
* Another branch of this family, resident at Tulketh, Nateby, Preston, &c., bore shells, and a third bore three boars’ heads.
There was, and probably is now, a monument at Preston, bearing the following lines :—
I Travers, by birth a Norman,
To gain victorious conquest,
With William Conqueror in I came,
As one chief rold” amongst the rest.
His guerd-on was a crown,
And ours subjects spoyle,
Some ransom'd tow'r and town,
Some planted English soyle.
Tolketh his castle and herison,
My captives maulger were ;
His daughter and his heire Dame Alison,
I spoused to my fere.
Thirty winters thus were worne
In spousalls, mirth, and glee :
Four begotten he had and borne,
Ere crowned was Beauclerk Henery.
Arnold and Jordan Fitz-Travers,
The one me succeed, th' other tooke orders;
With Constance and Blanch, my daughters,
The one to spousalls, the other vowed cloisters.
* Travers is certainly enrolled amongst the Battle Abbey list of noblemen and gentlemen.

* The Harringtons, or Haveringtons, were ancient Lords of Haverington, in Cumberland, and resided at Aldingham from the
time of Edward I., when the manor came to Robert de Harrington, by the marriage of Agnes, sister and heir of William de Cancefeld,
son and heir of Richard de Cancefeld by Alice, his wife, sister and heir of Michael Flaming, which family were before lords thereof.
His son was a knight, and the family were first summoned to Parliament in 1324. John was summoned 22d and 23d Edward III.,
and died 37th of the same king's reign. Another branch settled at Huyton, near Prescot. The Heyton, or Huyton family, enriched
by the heirs of a Lathom and a Twyford, were resident at Huyton in the beginning of the last century. Another member of this
family was Sir William Harrington, of Hornby Castle, Knight of the Garter, a violent opposer of the House of York, and connected
with most of the first families in Lancashire, and some few in Cheshire.—See Betham's Baronetage, vol. i. folio 106.-The Harrington
family boasts a descent, or near alliance by collaterals, to no less than one king, eight dukes, seventy earls, nine counts, twenty-seven
viscounts, and thirty-six barons, sixteen of whom were Knights of the Garter.
* The Molyneux of Sefton, married the daughter and heiress of Robert de Villiers of Little Crosby, and which went by a female
to the Blundells, afterwards of Crosby, now in possession of the same. Of the Williers family, Geoffry de Villiers was Sheriff 11th of
Henry II. 1165.-Wide Lodge's Irish Peerage, edit. 1789, vol. iii. folio 240.-ED.

[Thus far Mr. Gregson had extracted from vols. i. and ii. of the “Calendarium Inquisitionum Post Mortem,
sive Escaetarum,” to the end of vol. ii., 51 Edward III., 1377. But after the publication of the
first edition of his work in 1817, vol. iii. of this Calendar of Inquisitions was printed by command
of George III. in 1821.
In his second edition of 1824, Mr. Gregson did not abstract from this
volume the few Lancashire Inquisitions it contains; but it is thought desirable to do so in the present
edition.—H.]

©n tiſt inquisition3 +}ogt ſåortem.
WHEN we began this Selection from the CALENDARIUM POST MORTEM we were induced to hope
that the third volume would soon make its appearance, forming a detail of authentic evidence, extending as
low as the third year of Richard III. This volume, however, is not yet printed; but we trust it soon will
be, and its publication speedily followed by that of the Inquisitions (or the Indez to them) of the Duchy of
Lancaster;" as in the ROTULI HUNDREDORUM, time of Henry III. and Edward I. in the tower of
London, and published 1812 in two folio volumes of about 1400 pages, there is no account of Lancashire;
whilst Lincolnshire occupies 260 folios of that work. -
Mr. Illingworth, on the HUNDRED ROLLS, remarks:—“For a few counties no Hundred Rolls have
yet been discovered (Lancashire is wanting in those published); and to supply this deficiency it has been
deemed advisable to print the Extracts of the Inquisitions for all the Counties,” which are entered in three
rolls, in a hand-writing coeval with the Inquisitions, and preserved also in the Chapter House. In one
instance, viz. –for the County of Bucks, the answers to the Articles in the Eyre, anno 39 Henry III.
hitherto officially kept as part of the Hundred Rolls of that County, have also been added.”—Further
information may be found vol. i. folio 10, described by William Illingworth, Esq., Deputy Keeper of the
Records in the Tower.—1st March 1812.
The Rolls of the Inquisitions and Extracts being in the hands of the Treasurer and Barons of the
Exchequer, the Crown was at once furnished (amongst other things) with evidence, upon the oath of a
jury, of each Hundred and Town in every County, of all the demesne lands of the Crown, whether ancient
or newly acquired by escheat or purchase.—Manors, etc., formerly in the hands of the Crown ; the persons
holding the same ; the authority, and how alienated.—Tenants in capite in antient demesne.—The losses
sustained by the Crown in military services, and otherwise, by the subinfeudations made by such tenants
in capite, etc.—Alienations to the church, under pretext of gifts in Frankalmoigne.—Wardships, marriages,
escheats, suits, and services, withholden and subtracted.—Fee farms of the Crown, hundreds, wapentakes,
and tythings.-Courts, wreck of the sea, free chace, free warren and fishery, and other jura regalia.-
Oppressions of the nobility, clergy, and other great men, claiming to have and exercise such rights.-
Exactions by excessive and illegal tolls on fairs, and for murage, pontage, etc.—Exactions and oppressions
of sheriffs, escheators, and other ministerial officers, under colour of law.—Unlawful exportation of wool,
etc. etc.—The Statute of Gloucester was enacted in the sixth year of the reign of Edward I.
It will be seen by the following note where the Cheshire Inquisitions Post Mortem are deposited ;
the Inquisition here inserted was put into the author's hands in September 1805, by his late worthy friend
the very Rev. Dean Cholmondeley. It is printed as he gave it, with one remark on the same.

* These Inquisitions have since been printed and published in vol. i. of the Ducatus Lancastriae (3 vols. folio, 1823). They are
very numerous (3569), extending from Edward I. to Charles I., and would increase the bulk of this volume too much to reprint here.
Nor is it necessary, as the Ducatus is accessible, being placed in most of the public libraries in large towns.—H.
* It will be partially so, unless those in the Duchy Office be published. There are two volumes of the Cheshire Inquisitions—
one from the beginning of the reign of Henry VIII. to the end of the reign of James I. ; but the former part of this work, of the same
size and written by the same hand, and infinitely to an antiquarian the most valuable, contains the Inquisitions from the 33d of Edward
III. to the 24th of Henry VII. and is now (1805) in the possession of Charles Potts, Esq. of Chester, Deputy Register of the county
to whom it was given by Mr. Lance, attorney, of Christleton, formerly Register of the county, and agent to Earl Cholmondeley. Both
volumes, therefore, were most probably the property of Lord Cholmondeley, or might be the property of the county, in his possession
as Custos Rotulorum, or Chamberlain of the Exchequer. The original deeds, of which these two volumes contain abstracts, are most
of them preserved amongst the Records at the Castle of Chester, and are now arranging at the expense of the county by Mr. Faithful
Thomas.-H. Cholmondeley. .
* This Thomas Ireland, I presume, belonged to the Lydiate branch, for I can find no one of that name with whom the above
account will correspond in the families of Hutt, Hale, or of Halewood. His death happened in the time of Henry VIII. from the
words “de dmo Rege;” which is the more probable, as the Inquisitions immediately preceding and following the above were all
taken during the time of Queen Elizabeth.—H. Ch.
There was a Thomas Ireland living 14 Henry VII. (1498-9) who married Margery, daughter of —— Whitby, of Ince, in the
county of Chester; which Thomas was son of William Ireland, Lord of the Hutt, Hale, and half of Bevington ; and he was living also
14 Henry VII. 1498. It is likely this Thomas was the person named, whose son was of Halewood.—Wide the Pedigree by Sir Isaac
Heard, of the Blackburne family.--And from this line Sir Thomas Ireland of Bewsey was descended.—ED.

ACCOUNT OF THE
3}ublit littoriſ; in tiſt HButing ºf Lâmtāşttr, st
Extract from the Return from the Deputy Clerk of the Council and Keeper of the Records, Robert John Harper,
Esq. to several Questions contained in an Order of the select Committee on the Public Records of this
Kingdom.
(See Folio 79)
SUCH only are considered as public, and open for
public inspection, as anywise relate to or concern Judicial
Proceedings, the remainder being collected for the purpose
of better managing and improving the Inheritance of his
Majesty's Possessions in right of his Duchy of Lancaster ;
and the Officers of the Duchy think themselves at liberty
to withhold them from public inspection, except for the
purposes before mentioned, or by command of his Majesty,
as Duke of Lancaster, signified by his Chancellor of the
Duchy.
The Answer to the First Question is contained in the
following List of Records in the Office of the Duchy of
Lancaster :
Account of the Purchase Money arising from the sale of
Rents under the several Acts of Parliament, 29
Geo. III. 1780 to the present time.
Awards for Inclosures, in which the Duchy Property has
been concerned, 27 Geo. II. 1754 to present
time.
Bills and Answers and Depositions in the Duchy Court of
Lancaster, and of such as have been transmitted from
the County Palatine to be heard in the Duchy Court,
1 Hen. VII. 1487 to the present time.
Charters and Grants of various Kings under the Great
Seal, as well as of private Persons, (remaining in
Boxes) to the King's Sons and to Ecclesiastical Per-
sons, of Lands within the Surveys of the Duchy,
1 King Stephen 1135, to 10 Queen Elizabeth 1558.
Charters and Grants in Fee Farm, some of which are
inrolled in the Office, and others remain on Parch-
ment with the Royal Sign Manual. The original
Charters of the Duchy and County Palatine to the
King's Son, and Grants of Lands to Individuals of
the Possessions of the Duchy, 51 Edward III.
1377 to 1 Queen Anne 1702. *
Court Rolls of such Manors as formerly belonged to the
Duchy and have since been granted away, and of such
as are at present demised by Leases under the Duchy
Seal, 1283 to the present time.
Decrees of the Duchy Court inrolled in Books, and some
Drafts with the Attorney General's Signature,
1 Hen. VII. 1487 to the present time.
Grants of Rents under the several Acts to enable the
Chancellor and Council to dispose of the Fee Farm
and other Rents, and to enfranchise Copyhold Estates,
20 Geo. III. 1780 to the present time.
Inquisitions port Mortem, consisting of 2400 of various
Lands and Tenements within all the Counties in
England, 1 Hen. W. 1413 to 18 Cha. I. 1642.
Leases, Drafts, and Inrolments of such as have passed
the Duchy Seal, of Lands and Tenements, Parcel of
the Possessions of the Duchy, 1 Hen. VIII. 1510
to the present time.
Ministers and Receivers Accounts of the Rents and
Revenues of the Duchy, 1135 to the present time.
Patents of Offices granted under the Duchy Seal,
1 Hen. VIII. 1510 to the present time.
Presentations to Livings under the Duchy Seal,
1 Hen. VIII. 1510 to the present time.
Rentals and Particulars of Lands belonging to the Duchy,
collected together in Bags and Presses, and consisting
of various other Documents of such descriptions that
they cannot be comprized under one head, registered
into Counties, and in the Catalogue are the Names
of Places alphabetically arranged, 51 Edw. III.
1377 to the present time. -
Registers of Leases, Warrants, Grants, and other Docu-
ments under Royal Signs Manual, inrolled in Books,
of John Duke of Lancaster in the time of Edward
the Third, and of various Kings, relating to the Pos-
sessions of the Duchy, 51 Edw. III. 1377 to 8
Hen. VI. 1430.
Revenue Proceedings of the Duchy Court, inrolled in
Books, 6 Cha. I. 1630 to the present time.
Special commissions of Sewers and to survey Estates
belonging to the Duchy, 23 Eliz. to the present
time.
Privy Seals and Bills, being the Particulars prepared
previous to the Granting any Leases or Offices under
the Duchy Seal, 1 James I. to the present time.
As the Records yearly increase, more room will be
wanted at some future period for the accommodation of
them. The Office was appropriated to the use of the
Duchy of Lancaster under the Act for erecting the
Buildings at Somerset House, and is therefore public
Property. But this Office was given to the Duchy in
consideration of Accommodations and Concessions made
by his Majesty in right of his Duchy, from such parts
of the Manor of the Savoy as belonged to the Duchy.
I am employed in the Arrangement of the Records
myself, and a Clerk assists me in placing and replacing
them, for which no Salary or Allowance whatsoever is
paid, but a Fee of 8s. 6d. is charged for the Production of
each Record, which is the sole Allowance, as well for
the trouble and producing them as for arranging them
and keeping them in proper preservation, and for making
the Indexes, Repertories, and Calendars: and the fur-
ther sum of 1s is charged per Folio for Copies, or 16d
if there is any considerable difficulty arising from the
Antiquity or Language of the Record. Attendance
with the Records themselves is so seldom demanded,
that no Fee has been regularly settled for that purpose ;
but if in London, a Charge is made of One Guinea, be-
sides the Coach Hire ; and if in the Country, Two
Guineas a Day, with the Travelling Charges and all
other Expenses, would be expected. No Account has
been kept of the Profits derived by Searches for Public
Records, independent of those where Fees have been
received for other Searches, from whence any Average
can be taken.
(See Folio 80)
There are several Inquisitions post Mortem, Tra-
verses, and other Inquisitions of divers kinds remaining
in this Office under my care, commencing in the be-
ginning of the Reign of Henry V. and finishing 18
Charles I. amounting to nearly 2400 in number, some
of which consist of many large Skins of Parchment
put on Files in several Bundles, secured from future In-
juries by strong Covers, and to which there is a regular
Alphabetical Index and Calendar, in One Volume,
divided into the several Reigns of the Kings before men-
tioned, and containing the Names of Persons, and all
Places mentioned in each Inquisition, omitting none
that are legible. The First directing immediately to the
several Lands each Person died possessed of, the other
referring to each Inquisition in which any partieular
Lands are to be found.
I know of no Objection to publishing the above
Index, if it should be thought conducive to the public
Benefit; and understand it will fill about 90 Pages when
printed."
* If these Inquisitions, like those from folios 73 to 128, were printed, as well as the Collection in the Bodleian Library, from
Henry V. to Charles I. an invaluable Register of Property for the County Palatine and Duchy of Lancaster would be found, and
which we hope to see printed at the expense of the county or the public, as the other records are:-G.

The Public Records, Rolls, Instruments, and Manu-

the Crown for the County Palatine of Lancaster, con-
sist of Indictments and other Criminal Proceedings in
the Crown Office, for the County Palatine of Lancaster;
the Records of such Indictments and Proceedings, and
different Books of Entries.
For fifty or sixty Years past the Indictments, &c.
are so far arranged, that any Proceeding enquired for
might easily be referred to ; antecedent to that Period,
such as have been preserved are promiscuously placed
together, in no regular Order, but are in tolerable
Preservation. - N
All the Proceedings at each Assizes, within the
period first mentioned, are entered or docketed in Books,
by referring to which the Proceedings in each Prosecu-
tion may be known ; but there are no other Indexes or
Catalogues, except that upon some of the older Rolls
the Contents are indorsed ; to regulate and arrange the
old Records and Papers, and to methodize and Index the
whole, much labour and time would be required.
The Searches in this Office are very rare, and the
Fees upon them for the last three Years do not amount
to more than Two Guineas.

Returns of Freeholders liable to serve on Juries—
are, pursuant to the Directions of the different Statutes,
returned to and lodged in the Office of the Clerk of the
Peace for Lancashire.
(3) The Records are in general in very good Pre-
servation, (save those which are noticed above) and are
arranged as above set forth.
(4.) There are no other Indexes, Catalogues, Sche-
dules, or Calendars, than as before set forth, in men-
tioning the different Species of Records. -
It is not yet in my power to answer the Remainder of
this Question, until I have got the remaining Part of the
Records arranged and put into proper Divisions.

(5 & 6). There are no Officers or Clerks employed
solely for the Custody or Arrangement of the Records,
the same being done by myself and the Clerks I gene-
rally employ in my Office, without any Salaries or Al-
lowances made by the Public ; the Fee for each Search
is 6s. 8d, each Reign, unless otherwise directed by some
particular Statute ; each Certificate, unless particularly
fixed by some Statute, 3s. 6d., mostly ls, sometimes 6d.,
and often directed to be done without Fee or Reward:
but I cannot set forth the Average Amount for the last
Three Years, they being so trivial, that no separate
Account was ever kept thereof, not amounting sometimes
to 20s. per Annum.
From the late improvements in the Castle of Lancas-
ter, the whole Records of the County (save those which
are in immediate use) might with great Convenience be
lodged there, free from any Apprehension of Danger
from Fire. E. GORST,

The Return from the Kings, Heralds, and Pursuivants, of the College of Arms, to certain Questions contained in an
Order of the Select Committee on the Public Records of this Kingdom, dated 24th February, 1800, by George
Harrison, Esq. Morroy and Register.
THE Kings, Heralds, and Pursuivants of Arms have
in their Possession—
A Series of Books, called Visitation Books, con-
taining the Pedigrees and Arms of the Nobility and
Gentry of the Kingdom, from 21 Henry VIII. to the
latter end of the 17th Century; during which Period,
the Two Provincial Kings of Arms, Clarenceux and
Norroy, usually received, soon after their investiture
in Office, a Commission under the Great Seal, autho-
rizing them to visit the several Counties within their
respective Provinces, “to peruse and take Knowledge,
“Survey, and View of all manner of Arms, Cogni-
“zances, Crests, and other like Devices, with the
“Notes of the Descents, Pedigrees, and Marriages of
“all the Nobility and Gentry therein throughout con-
“tained ; and also to reprove, controul, and make in-
“famous, by Proclamation, all such as unlawfully, and
“without just Authority, usurp or take any Name or
“Title of Honour or Dignity, as Esquire or Gentle-
“man,” &c. &c. The First of these Commissions was
issued in 21 Henry VIII, and the last in 2 James II.-
Books containing miscellaneous Pedigrees and Arms of
Nobility and Gentry.—Books of Pedigrees and Arms of
the Peers.-Books of Pedigrees & Arms of Baronets.-
Books of Entries of Funeral Certificates of the Nobility
and Gentry.—Books containing Accounts of Royal Mar-
riages, Coronations, and Funerals.-Books called Earl
Marshal's Books, from the Time of Queen Elizabeth-
Books of Arms of the Nobility and Knights of the Garter
and Bath, and Docquets or Copies of all Grants of Arms
to the present Time. The Office is accessible from
Nine o'clock in the Morning till the Evening. They
make all Searches, and give out Copies or Extracts of
the said Records, and the fees arising therefrom are
equally divided between them. The ordinary Fee for
a Search for a Coat of Arms is, and has been for
Two Hundred Years, Half a Crown ; and for a Copy
or Extract of a Pedigree, Five Shillings for every
Generation.

Return of the Principal Librarian of the British Museum—Mr. Planter, to the Questions of the Committee, dated
March 6, 1800—(See Folio 389.)
The Manuscript Department in the Museum, con-
sisting of the Royal, Cottonian, Harleian, and Sloanian
Libraries, together with considerable Additions made
both by Purchase and Donations, contains, among a
great Wariety of curious Works in all Branches of Liter-
ature, a Multitude of Original Charters, Rolls, Books,
and Papers, relating to Royal, Parliamentary, Judicial,
and other Public Acts of Proceedings:–The following,
although it be the most comprehensive Account that can
at present be drawn out of them, must be considered
only as a summary View. The Objects of it may pro-
perly be distinguished under the Heads of I. Charters,
Rolls, and Deeds—II. Chartularies—III. Visitations—
IV. State Papers—W. Judicial Proceedings, and Office
Books. -
1. The following are the Heads under which the
greatest Number of them might perhaps not improperly
be arranged:— -
1. Royal Charters.—Of these there are upwards of
200, from Coenwulf King of Mercia, down to the Reign
of Charles I, those before the Conquest being chiefly in
Saxon, and the subsequent ones in Latin, French, and
English. The Capitula Magnac Chartae, Two Originals
of the Magna Charta, the Confirmation of the Great
Charter, 25 Edw. I, are among the most important
Articles in this Class.
2. Ecclesiastical Charters.-Being Grants of Arch-
bishops, Bishops, Deans, Abbots, and some Parochial
Clergy, of nearly the same Description as those in the
preceding Article, though not of so extensive a Period,
none being of an older Date than the year 1185.
3. Private Deeds.-These consist of Feoffments,
Deeds of Bargain and Sale, of Lease and Release, Ex-
change, and all Manner of Contracts, Agreements, and
Covenants, between Private Individuals.
4. Rolls.
5. Foreign Documents.
II. The Collection of Chartularies, Registers, Ledger
Books, etc., of many of the Abbies and other Religious
Houses in the Kingdom, is more numerous than could
have been expected in a Repository of this Nature.
Among these are also several Chartularies of the Mili-
tary Orders of the Temple, and of St. John of Jerusalem,
and of sundry Hospitals and Guilds.
III. The Visitations of Heralds; most of which (be-
ing about 200 in Number) are deposited in the Harleian
Library, in the Alphabetical Order of their respective
Counties), appear to be the Originals, compiled by the
Provincial Kings at Arms during their Progress in their
several Districts, from which Entries were afterwards
made in the Books kept at the College of Heralds. That
many are of this Description appears evident by their
being signed by the Heads of the Families, whose De-
scents are therein described. These Visitations, it is
known, were held from the year 1528 to 1686: none
of the Descents contained in these Volumes are therefore
continued to a later Date than the last-mentioned Year ;
but there are besides many more recent, and seemingly
authentic Pedigrees in other Parts of the Collection, of
which frequent use is made by Historians and Genealo-
gists. The Collection of Armorial Bearings in the
Museum is likewise very considerable.
Various other valuable Matter is deposited in this
Museum, among which should be noticed—The volu-
minous Collections of the Three Holmes, chiefly relating
to the History and Antiquities of the City and County
of Chester, and the County of Lancaster, being Tran-
scripts which Randle Holme the Elder, his Son and
Grandson, made of Writings and Deeds in the Treasury
of Chester ; some of the Originals being, as is reported
134
Greggon's 330rtfolio of fragments:
in the Catalogue of the Harleian Library, considerably
damaged—The Collections of Thomas Madox, Esquire,
Historiographer to Queen Anne and King George I.,
consisting chiefly of Extracts from Records in the Exche-
quer, Patent, and Claus Rolls ; and many Public and
Private Libraries—Many Volumes of Copies, Extracts,
and Notes, relating to the University of Cambridge,
compiled with great Care and Assiduity, by Mr. Thos.
Baker—A large Collection of Materials relating to the
Antiquities, History, Revenue, and Municipal Laws of
Ireland, a great part of which once belonged to Lord
Clarendon—About 70 Volumes of Collectanea, concern-
ing various Law Records, by Sir Simon D'Ewes—
The Rev. Mr. Huggett's Collection respecting the Foun-
dation, History, and Statutes of the Collegiate Churches
of Windsor and Eaton—Sir William Burrell's copious
Collectanea, relating to the Antiquities and History of
Sussex—And many other Articles of less Extent; but
the mere Enumeration of which would fill a Volume of
considerable Magnitude.
Agreeably to an Order made by the Commissioners superintending the Public Records, expressing the desire of
the Board that the Trustees of the British Museum would print the Catalogue of the Harleian MSS. revised and cor-
rected, with proper indexes of Persons, Places, and Matters, such Catalogue is now printed in Three Large Volumes,
and the Index in One, all of which seem very complete and well executed.—ED.
In the Table of the Public Records, abstracted by Mr. Luders, July 3, 1800, we find the following
Account of Records and other Instruments relative to the
HBurjg of 3Lancaster, &c.

1067, to Chester, and then called also Bishop of Chester; and in 1088, Robert de Limsey removed it to Coventry, from whence it was
galled Coyentry, and Lichfield. This Robert was the 35th Bishop from the establishment in 656. In 1540 Chester was made a
distinct Bishoprick—See Appendiz to this Book.

138 Greggon'g 330rtfolio of fragments:
[In this part of his work Mr. Gregson inserted a copy of the census tables of the population, etc.,
of Lancashire in 1811, with the rental of the county for the income-tax in 1815, and the payment to
county rate of each township at the rate of 1d. in the pound. These tables occupy in the editions of
1817 and 1824 pp. 130, 152. However interesting the information therein given may have been in
1817, or even in 1824, few readers in 1868 but will admit that the interest in population returns more
than half a century old is infinitesimally small. Not old enough to be regarded among “the antiquities
of Lancashire,” to which this work is almost wholly devoted, they are too old to retain any present
value or interest. It has been determined, therefore, to omit them entirely. The latest population
returns, according to the census 1861, will be more fitly preserved in the new edition of Baines' History of
Lancashire, than in a work like the present depository of ancient records, of local antiquities, and of family
genealogy and heraldry.—H.]
©n the Circulation of 3Local 36amit Noteg in 3Lancagijire.
IT is generally admitted that, after Middlesex, Lancashire ranks the second commercial county in Great
Britain, and Liverpool the second seaport. The superiority which Lancashire now sustains was only
obtained in the course of the 18th century; the capitals therefore employed in the commerce of Liverpool
are not of such ancient standing as in London, Bristol, or even Hull, particularly as several of the earliest
Liverpool merchants have retired, and invested their property in landed estates. It is, however, singular
that Lancashire has nearly wholly escaped that paltry circulating medium called country bank notes for £1
to £5, payable at the places where issued, and in some instances also in London. When they appear in
most parts of this county they are with difficulty passed in payment. The other regular banks generally
refuse them ; and where they do receive them they are never re-issued, but remitted to obtain payment.
The absence of this troublesome and insecure paper probably accounts for the agricultural interest of
Lancashire feeling less distress than is experienced in other counties from the failure of banks issuing such
paper. It is highly creditable, and bespeaks a degree of stability where these flimsy notes are not current;
and it is to be wished that Bank of England notes, which have a legal sanction and high responsibility,
were more generally substituted ; and that the great profit which private bankers make by the mere use
of their name, under the high-sounding title of some town, village, or lane, might be available to the wants
of the state by way of taxation, and some security given on the part of the drawers. This is the more to
be wished, as the gains of the Bank of England on a circulation of about twenty-six millions and an
expensive establishment, have been lately made the subject of envy and declamation by those very people
who have, in doleful accents, lamented that the agricultural interest is deprived at present of the assistance
of twenty-five millions of country bank-notes, which are issued to the public at a much greater loss to the
receiver, and greater gain to the bankers, as a body or individually. There are in Lancashire at present
sixteen banks, of which only two of no great note, on the borders of Yorkshire, issue small notes. The
rest draw bills on London bankers, payable after sight or date, and consequently obtaining the double
security of drawer and accepter. According to a late printed report, there are seven hundred and thirty-
two country banks in four hundred and fourteen places, and of these sixteen banks in seven places fall to
the share of Lancashire. The same publication returns seventy-eight banking houses in London. On
comparing the present number with that of 1814, there appears an increase of thirteen country banks, and
three banking houses in London.—See Chalmers.
* There is one Local Note issued in this county marked in the sinister chief, as well as the dexter base, “Thirty Shillings, for
public accommodation ;” and the note upon this issue runs thus—“I promise to take this as THIRTY SHILLINGS on demand, in part of
a Two Pound Bank Note. Value received.” Entered, numbered, dated, etc., as usual.

of his plan the Editor here presents to his readers a few FRAGMENTS relative to LOCAL, PAROCHIAL,
and FAMILY history; and he feels much pleasure in stating, from well-grounded information, that it is
the intention of the Committee of Public records, or the Officers of the Duchy of Lancaster, to print the
indices of Chantries, Grants, Inquisitiones Post Mortem, and various other valuable documents now
remaining in the Duchy Office, Somerset House, which will throw much light upon the history of Lan-
cashire.” With regard to the history of the county, little, either of a public or private nature, has been
published, except the history of the single Parish of Whalley, by the very able and learned Dr. Whitaker;
Aikin's Forty Miles round Manchester, Dr. Enfield's History of Liverpool, the Rev. Mr. Whitaker's History of
Manchester, Pennant's Tour to Alston Moore, West's Antiquities of Furness, Britton's Beauties of England and
Wales, Houseman's Account of Lancashire. These, with Leyland's Itinerary, Camden's Britannia, and
Blome's Britannia, afford almost the whole information.

43arish of Öalton-on-the-39tll.
It has before been observed, that there are seventy-one parishes and parts of parishes in Lancashire,' and
in the hundred of West Derby anciently fourteen, but at the present time fifteen, Liverpool having been
severed from Walton by an Act of Parliament 10th and 11th of William and Mary, 1698. The parish of
Walton is still very extensive, and contains the following townships:—Walton, Bootle and Lincare,
Croxteth, Everton, Fazakerly, Formby with Ansdell and Ravensmeols, Kirkby, Kirkdale, Simmonswood,
Toxteth Park, and West Derby. The living of Walton is a rectory, the church a vicarage, and the patrons
are the impropriators of the rectory. It is pleasantly situated about three miles north of Liverpool.
In this parish there are three ancient chapels of ease under the mother church, Formby, Kirkby, and
West Derby, exclusively of the modern erections—St. James's, Toxteth Park; St. Mary's, Edge Hill, in
West Derby; St. George's, Everton, built near the site of the ancient beacon; and St. Michael's in
Toxteth Park, which has just been completed.
The patronage of the advowson of the parish church of Walton remained with the abbot and monks of
St. Peter, Salop, from the foundation of the vicarage in 1326 until 1470, when it was purchased of the
monastery by one of the ancient and honourable family of Molyneux, who, in 1747, sold it to Sir Wm.
Heathcote, Bart. of Hursley Lodge, in the county of Southampton, for £2500, and Sefton for £1600.
Two of the family of Heathcote have since enjoyed the rectory: one is at present the rector, and another
the vicar. Two members of the Richmond family were formerly, one rector and the other vicar of Walton,
the latter of whom was afterwards bishop of the Isle of Man. The present patron of Walton is John
Leigh, Esq. of Sandhills, near Bootle, who purchased the advowson of this church in 1810 for about
£10,000; since which three of the new chapels in the parish have been erected and consecrated.

THE chancel end has lately been rebuilt; an organ and new galleries have also been added to the church,
and other considerable improvements made by the parishioners and the present patron. The rectorial house
has likewise been rendered much more convenient and handsome. The parish contains nearly 10,000
persons.
The Rev. Mr. Whitaker of Manchester describes Walton as a town during the time of the Saxons,
when the towns in Lancashire were exceedingly few, and not very populous.
The Waltons of this Walton of the Hill, and the Waltons of Walton-le-Dale, as well as the Waltons of
Hale, appear to be branches of the same family.” The Waltons of the Hill bore three swans proper, which
an heiress of this family, with one-third of the estate and Spellawe House, conferred on the ancestors of
the late Col. Fazakerley of Liverpool and Fazakerley; and another co-heiress on the family of Cross of
Cross Hall and Liverpool, and of the Chorleys of Chorley. Roger Briers married the heiress and sole
daughter of Cross, who quartered the Walton arms, which, being entitled by this marriage, R. Briers bore
as a quarter.”
~ “Richard de Waleton, or Walton,' held fourteen oxgangs of land, with the apurte-
nances, in Waleton, in the county of Lancaster, of our lord the King, by the serjeanty
of making executions of the writs of our lord the king, and attachments in the wapentakes
of Derby and Makerfield; and he is bailiff of the same in fee.” The first of this

these events the estates in Walton, Chorley, and other places, were sequestered and sold.

We now return to Leonard Chorley, second son of William Chorley, by Alice Ander-
ton his wife, which Leonard Chorley, Esq., married Emma Blundell, daughter of Robert
Blundell, of Ince-Blundell, Esq., by whom he had one son, William, and a daughter,
Anne.
William Chorley of Chorley, who married Bridget Hutchinson, and died in the
lifetime of his father, left one son, Alexander, of Furnival's Inn, London, who mar-
ried Anne, daughter of Thomas Paris of London, Gentleman, and of Chesterton, in the
county of Kent. This Alexander had two sisters, one of whom, Mary, married Ralph
Holden, of Holden, Gentleman, and Alice Chorley married James Parker of Chorley.—
Alexander, by his wife Anne, had issue many children : eldest John
Chorley, born 9th James, 1611, who married Elizabeth, daughther
and sole heiress of Hugh Ley, citizen and skinner, of London ; Mary,
who married Robert Holden of Holden, Esq.; Eleanor, wife of John
Knowles of Sutton ; and Thomas Chorley, who married Margaret,
daughter of Thomas Pett, Gentleman, of Seven Oaks, Kent; and seve-
ral other children. This John Chorley had several children, and from
thence descended the Chorleys of Rainhill, 1640; the Chorley who
married Barnes of Warrington ; John Chorley, Esq. of Liverpool;
John Chorley, Esq. of Prescot, &c.
At Fazakerley, adjoining Walton, the Fatzackerleys or Fazaker-
leys, an ancient family, resided ; and Robert Fazakerley, tempo, Hen.
IV., married Hellin Walton, daughter and heiress of Robert Walton
of Walton. The family pedigree for fourteen generations previous to
Henry IV. gives reason to suppose, that they were of Saxon origin ;
no name resembling this name appearing in the roll of Battle Abbey.
In the name of Henry VII.-vide H. MSS. No. 1549—it appears
that Roger Fazakerley married Elizabeth, daughter of Blundell, of

Atherton. After the rebellion of 1715, about one-third of the estate of Wal-
ton, the part belonging to the Chorleys, was sold, under a decree of
Chancery, to Abraham Crompton, Esq., and another third, which for-
merly belonged to the Fazakerleys with Spellawe House, was purchased
by James Earl of Derby from that family. The other third remained
with the Breers or Bryers, by whose family it had been possessed for
six generations before Dugdale's visitation, anno 1662, and with
whom it continued until 1746, when Roger Breers and Lawrence
Bryers' his son sold it to Atherton, Esq., whose son John, and
grandson John Joseph Atherton, Esqrs, resided here ; the last removing to near Ludlow, sold the Hall and
his part of Walton estate to Thomas Leyland, Esq. the present ower, lately the worthy Mayor of Liverpool;
who, for his upright and useful conduct in the discharge of the duties of that important office, was presented
by his fellow-townsmen with a splendid and valuable vase, on which the following arms, and an inscription
highly complimentary to his character as chief magistrate, were engraved :—

This parish, as well as the whole hundred of West Derby, is in the Deanery of Warrington. The
rental of the parish, according to assessment in 1815, was £81,917. The township paid, by the same assess-
ment, upon the rental of £10,033; and the inhabitants were returned in 1811 at 794 souls, having 143
houses, or 5% to a house. In this pleasant village Mr. John Holt resided upwards of forty years. In the
early part of his life he was parish clerk, schoolmaster, &c. He married an amiable and worthy woman,
who afterwards established a boarding-school for young ladies. In the year 1788 he published “the Cha-
racters of the Kings and Queens of England,” with notes: he also wrote upon the “Curle in Potatos,” and
some other interesting subjects. In 1791 he published a prospectus for an “intended History of Liverpool;”
and in the Magazine for October, 1793, gave a detailed report of his collections. A further account of the
intended History of Liverpool may be seen in the Gentleman's Magazine, 1795, folios 967 and 981, Dec.
In or about the year 1794 he was appointed by the Board of Agriculture, Surveyor for the county of
Lancaster; and his account of Lancashire, the first of the series, was printed by order of the Board of Agri-
culture, in the year 1795. This appointment induced him to suspend the publication of the History of
Liverpool, and to return the subscriptions which he had received. He, however, intimated, at the same time,
that his endeavours would be continued patiently to digest the subject, and to make it more fit for future
publication. He was subsequently elected an Honorary Member of the Agricultural Society, and presented at
various times with several silver cups, medals, &c.; but he died March 21, 1801, at Walton, without having
been able to carry into effect his design of publishing his history.—See the late Mr. Thomas Wiatt's bio-
graphical notice, Gent. Mag. for March, 1801, vol. lxxi. His portrait is given in the same work, part 2d, fol.
793. The materials for his intended History of Liverpool were bequeathed to the Editor, upon his paying Ten
Pounds to the Liverpool Infirmary, if so much profit should happen to accrue from the publication. The
money is paid, and the materials are all preserved, except the following account of Everton. There is a Free
School at Walton.

This stone is the remains of an ancient Baptismal Font in Walton Church, from whence, upon the erection
of the present Font in 1754, it was removed, and degraded into a seat before the door of a public-house, where
it now lies, reversed and considerably sunk into the earth. The diameter is about three feet. It is of a cir-
cular plan, with six projecting panels on the circumference, upon which, and the intervening compartments,
some figures are rudely carved, bearing the stamp of remote antiquity. The most perfect of them is a hideous
figure on horseback, perhaps meant to represent the flight into Egypt; and the others seem to have presented
the effigies of saints.

AN
jºisturital Attgumt
OF THE
TOWN OF EVERTON,
IN THE
PARISH OF WALTON ;
Copied from a Manuscript of the late ISAAC GREEN, Esq., with Notes *
Shewing it to have been anciently a Manor, to whom it belonged, what Tenents were there, what Lands they held, what Rents
they paid, and that it is, and in all times past was, a separate and distinct Township from West Derby, as appears by
many Inquisitions, Deeds, Grants, Letters Patent, and other evidences, viz. –
ANNo 1066. William the Conqueror, upon his accession to the throne of England, became seized of
all the lands lying betwixt the rivers Ribble and Mersey, in the county of Lancaster, in right of the
crown, which lands, with other great possessions he, by letters patent, bestowed upon Roger de Poitou, his
cousin, and third son to Roger de Montgomery, Earl of Arundel and Shrewsbury, and advanced him to
the title of the Earl of Lancaster."
ANNO 1101. The said Roger taking part in a rebellion against Henry I was banished England, and
all his lands seized into the king's hands, and remained in the crown till the time of Henry III.
ANNO 9TH HEN. III., 1225. The king issued his mandate to the Sheriff of Lancaster, commanding
him to permit his tenants of Everton to have reasonable estovers out of the king's wood of West Derby,
to build and repair their houses, as they were used to have in the time of his father king John’ before
the war; and that he (the sheriff) do not compel them to do other suits and services than they were
accustomed to do in the time aforesaid.
* Wide the Baronage of England, page 32. 2 Ibid.

144 (freggon's 430rtfolio of fragments:
OBSERVATION. This mandate is directed to the sheriff of the county of Lancaster, and not to the steward or
other officer of West Derby, and he is commanded to impose no new customs or services upon the said tenants,
which shews that Everton was a distinct and separate township from West Derby, and no way subject to any
authority there ; and that the tenents hold immediately of the king by suits and services in his wars, being Nativi
or Bondsmen, and obliged to serve at the king's command, as will appear hereafter more at large.
ANNO 13TH HEN. III. 1229. The king, by his letters patent, gave to Ranulph, Earl of Chester, all
that part of Lancashire lying betwixt the rivers of Ribble and Mersey; who dying without issue, the
same descended to his four sisters, whereof Agnes the third sister married William de Ferrers, Earl of
Derby, and had for her part (among other lands) the castle and town of West Derby, in comitatu Lanc.
and all the lands belonging to the said Earl which lay between the rivers Ribble and Mersey.'
ANNO 33D HEN. III. 1249. William de Ferrers, Earl of Derby (son and heir of the above mentioned
William) had the king's mandate to the sheriff of Lancashire for the enjoyment of such lands lying
betwixt Ribble and Mersey, as Ranulph, Earl of Chester, formerly had possessed. Which said William,
by his charter or grant of customs to his tenants of West Derby and Wavertree, first erected these two
manors, and instituted the copyhold estates there, in these or the like words, viz. –That lands shall be let
on him that bought them, if he can agree reasonably with the steward ; and in case he cannot agree reasonably with
the Steward, the Said lands and tenements shall remain to the seller—but made no alteration as to tenure in
Everton, as will appear hereafter.
ANNO 36TH HEN. III. 1252. The said Earl obtained a charter for free warren, to himself and his
heirs, in all his demesne lands throughout his lordships of Leverpoole, West Derby, Everton, Crossby,
Wavertree, Salford, Bolton, Pendleton, Buttlison, Burton Wood, Chorley, &c.; which shews that Everton
was a distinct manor or lordship from West Derby.”
ANNo 38TH HEN. III., 1254. The said William Ferrers departed this life, and was succeeded by
Robert his son, who was the last Earl of Derby of this family,” and who forfeited all his great estates in
Lancashire to Edmund, younger son to King Henry III, who took him prisoner, who was thereupon
invested with the Earldom of Derby, &c."
ANNo 49TH HEN. III. 1265. The king, by his letters patent to said Edmund, gave him the Earldom
of Leicester and Stewardship of England, with the Honor, Earldom, Castle, and Town of Lancaster; who,
dying 24th Edward I., was succeeded in honor and estate by his eldest son Thomas, Earl of Leicester, &c.
ANNO 25TH EDW. I. 1297. The said Thomas doing homage, had livery of his lands, by which record
(remaining in the Tower) the manor of West Derby is mentioned by itself, and the manor of Everton by
itself; which said manors, with many others, the said Thomas gave to one Robert de Holland (a favourite
of his), who held the same until the death of the said Thomas (as will more at large appear hereafter);
and the said Thomas was succeeded in honor and estate by his brother Henry, Earl of Lancaster, Derby,
Teicester, and Lincoln, and Steward of England, &c.
ANNO 15TH EDW. II, 1322.—[1321-22.] Inquisition taken at Farnworth’ (county Lanc.) before
Thomas de Burgh, enquiring what lands William de Walton held of the king, on the day whereon he
died, by which it was found that he held six messuages and six bovates of land in Walton, also of the
baily wick of West Derby worth £9 : 12:4, and also four bovates of land in Wavertree, and four bovates
of land with the appurtenances in Everton, in service, as annexed to the said baily wick, and say they are
worth nothing yearly beyond a certain rent to our lord the king.
ºff" By this inquisition it appears that Everton and Wavertree were distinct townships or manors from West
Derby, and that the four bovates of land in Everton were held in service according to the ancient tenure there, and
not as those of West Derby, which were copyhold, as per 33d Hen. III.
ANNO 1sT EDW. III., 1327. Inquisition taken at Lancaster before Simon de Grimsby, whereby it is
found that Thomas, late Earl of Lancaster, held in fee the manors of West Derby, Salford, Leverpoole,
Crossby, Wavertree, Everton, and Hope, in the county of Lancaster, by the service of rendering one
ambling nag, or per annum, &c. And that there is at West Derby the site of a certain
ruinated castle; and that at Everton there are nineteen Nativi, who held 24 oxgangs of land at £4: 16s.
rent. t
tº By this inquisition it appears that Everton was a manor, and no part or parcel of West Derby ; that the
tenants were nineteen in number, and held 24 oxgangs of land by a yearly rent and service to the king.
According to the best authors I have met with, an oxgang of land contains 13 acres, so that 24 oxgangs make 312
acres, and is agreeable to the quantity now claimed to belong to Everton ; in the whole—viz, old inclosures 130
acres, new inclosures 60 acres, commons 120 acres; also the ancient tenements are 19 in number, and the rent the
same we now pay.
ANNO 1st EDW.III. 1327. Inquisition taken at Wigan, before Simon de Grimsby, &c., whereby it is found,
that Robert de Holland, seven years before the death of Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, entered into the castle
and borough of Leverpool worth per annum £30:10s. and into the manor of Everton worth per annum £4:16s.

said Earl Thomas, but showed no warrant or grant for it: and say that before such entry all the said pre-
mises were holden of Edw. I. by the service of an ambling nag; and say that the Lord Henry, Earl of Lan-
caster and Leicester, is brother to the said Thomas and next heir, &c.
tº By this also it appears, Everton was an entire manor of itself, and distinct from West Derby and Waver-
tree.—Wide the Inquisition and the Baronage of England, page 781.
ANNO 25TH EDW. III. 1351. Henry, Earl of Lancaster, by his deed indented, did give and grant to
his beloved servant John Barret his town of Everton, with all its wastes, to have and to hold to the said John
and to the heirs of his body begotton, with all manner of franchises, easements, and all other appurtenances
to the said town in any manner belonging, yielding therefore yearly for the said town of Everton four pounds:
nevertheless, if the said John die without issue of his body begotten, that then the said town of Everton with
all its wastes and appurtenances shall remain to us and our heirs for ever. Given at our manor of the
Savoy, near London, the 23d day of February, 25th Edw. III.'
tº By this deed it evidently appears that Everton was an entire manor or township, and had both inclosed
and common or waste lands belonging to it, distinct and separate from those of West Derby.—Wide the deeds.
ANNO 28TH EDW. III. 1354. Henry, Duke of Lancaster, late Earl of Lancaster, by his letters patent, did
give and grant to his beloved servant John Barret, one messuage and 40 acres of land, with the appurtenances,
in West Derby, which lands Thomas de Hale and Mabilla his wife held as a gift or grant from Thomas late
Earl of Lancaster, and for certain causes are come to our hands to have and to hold to the said John, and the
heirs of his body begotten, yielding therefore yearly twenty shillings; and we also will, that the said John
may have sufficient turbary and pasture within the said town as the said Thomas de Hale and Mabilla have
had ; and if the said John shall die without issue of his body, we will that the said lands shall come to us
and our heirs. Witness myself at Preston, the 12th day of February, 2d year of our Dukedom, &c.
$3 By this patent it appears that Everton and West Derby were distinct townships, and had several commons
belonging to each of them.— Wide the patent.
ANNO 35TH EDW. III. 1361. The aforesaid Henry, Duke of Lancaster, departed this life at Leicester,
and left issue two daughters, Maude and Blanch ; which Blanch was married to John of Gaunt, then Earl
of Richmond, afterwards Duke of Lancaster, and had for her part (amongst others) all her father's lands in
Lancashire.
ANNO 23D RICHARD II. 1399. The said John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, departed this life, and
was succeeded by Henry de Bolingbroke, Earl of Derby, his eldest son, who was afterwards King of England,
by the name of Henry the IV., whereby all the aforesaid lands, except Everton, came to the crown again ;
where those of West Derby and Wavertree remained till the reign of Charles the I., when they were sold to
the citizens of London, as will hereafter at large appear.
ANNO 2D HEN. IV. 1401. The king, by his grant or charter renews and confirms to his tenants of
West Derby and Wavertree their ancient tenure, first granted by William de Ferrers, Earl of Derby, in haec
verba, viz. –Henry, by the grace of God, King of England and France, Lord of Ireland, to our High Steward
within our county palatine of Lancaster that now is, or hereafter shall come, send greeting :-Know you,
that by the advice of our councill, wee of our speciall grace, have granted unto our liege tenants of our towns
of West Derby and Wavertree, that they and their heirs may have and hold their lands and tenements in
our said towns for a reasonable fine to be made at every of their first entries there, according unto the dis-
cretion of our steward there for the time being; and that the heirs of our said tenants be not putt out of the
said lands and tenements for no stranger, if they will make a reasonable fine at the discretion of our
said steward for the time being : and we will command you, that you suffer our said tenants and their heirs to
have and enjoy our said grant and grace without making or suffering to be made, or to attempt therein to
the contrary of our aforesaid grant.—Given under our seal of our Duchy of Lancaster, at our palace at
Westminster, the 15th of February, and in the second year of our reign.
ANNO 3D HEN. VII, 1488 [1487-8.] Inquisition taken in the halmote court for the manor of Walton
sheweth all the boundaries of Walton, beginning at Carton Cross, and following to Deiling Dale, and to the
West end thereof, and so over the Breck by one ancient ditch in the land of Everton, called Houghfield, on
the south part ; and the common of pasture of Walton on the north part unto Sleeper's Hill, &c.—Wide
the inquisition.
tº Note that all the lands belonging to Everton are known by the names of Houghfield, Netherfield, and
Whitefield ; and at the time of the inquisition that part called Houghfield was quite open, but is since partly inclosed,
and runs along by the common of Walton as above described, the meres and bounds whereof are well known by the
neighbouring inhabitants.
** This grant sets forth the tenure of West Derby and Wavertree, but takes no notice of Everton, that town

gave him a capital messuage in Liverpool and six sections of land, which grant was confirmed by the King 33 Edward III. patent 33,
head 3, p. 2, M. 21. He was also Constable of Liverpool, and had thirty acres of moss in Toxteth Park granted to him, and an ad-
joining quantity in Liverpool of moss land, for which he was to pay six shillings per annum by half-yearly payments, at the Feast of
St. Nicholas and the Annunciation of our Lady. He had likewise a grant of forty acres of land and the appurtenances in West Derby,

146 - (ſºregson's 3}ortfolio of fragments:
Chancellor and council of the Duchy, appointed by commission from his Majesty, to treat with his said tenants
concerning a composition to be paid his Majesty for confirmation of the said copyholders' estates, and for
granting of the wastes and commons of the said manor by copy of court roll; at which treaty it was proposed
by the said commissioners that such copyhold tenants of the said towns as shall, upon notice thereof, con-
sent and agree to pay his said Majesty thirty years' rent of their ancient rent, at the days and times therein
mentioned, his Majesty would confirm to such his tenants so agreeing, and their heirs for ever, by decree
of that court, and by act of Parliament, all their copyhold lands, paying upon the death of any tenant, or
upon any surrender to be made to his Majesty, his heirs and successors, one-third part of the said yearly
rent for a fine. And that such of his said tenants as should accept the said composition, shall have and
enjoy to them and their heirs, by decree of the court and by act of Parliament, all the commons and waste
grounds within the said towns, the same to be indifferently divided by commissioners, and to be granted
to the said tenants by copy of court roll, and the yearly rent of fourpence per acre at seven and a half yards
to the perch, to be paid to his Majesty, his heirs and successors for ever, the first payment to be made within
one whole year after such enclosure and quiet possession thereof obtained. To which gracious offer the said
Fazakerley, Mercer, Bower, Worrall, and Walworth desired time on behalf of themselves and the said copy-
holders to return their absolute answer before the end of the next term ; which request the said commis-
sioners thought reasonable, and assented thereto, but declared their opinions, and so did order, that such
of the said tenants as should neglect or refuse to accept of this his Majesty's offer, that they and every of
them so refusing should be debarred for ever hereafter from any composition ; and that the other moiety of
the said composition be paid within three months next after the said decree and act of Parliament shall
pass. And lastly, it is ordered by the said commissioners, that a true certificate shall, before the end of
the next term, be made of the names of all such tenants as shall accept his Majesty's offer; which certifi-
cate, together with a transcript of this order, shall be returned to the office of the auditor of the north parts,
that he may proceed to cast up the said composition according to the rent appearing by survey remaining
with him, and to make a rentally to charge the commons according to the quantity thereof appearing by
the said survey, and to give the same under his hand to the clerk of the Duchy for the careful and speedy
drawing up a decree according to the said composition.—Signed Edmond Brerester pro Gilbert Gerrard.
tº The tenants of Everton were in no wise concerned in this agreement, neither did any of them appear at
the said treaty, being with relation to their commons upon a different footing with either Derby or Wavertree, as
paying anciently both rent and taxes for the same, as per the following order, and many receipts will appear.
tº Also upon failure of issue of John Barrett (to whom the town of Everton was given by Henry, Earl of
Lancaster, 25th Edw. III), the said town returned to the crown again, pursuant to the said grant, but the exact time
thereof I cannot discover ; but this is the first time I have met with or observed the officers of the crown to have
taken any notice of the said town since the aforesaid grant.
Notwithstanding which, the copyholders and others of West Derby designing and intending to include the
commons of Everton promiscuously with that of West Derby, and to engross the same to themselves, did survey and
propose allotments of the common of Everton, as well as that of West Derby : whereupon the tenants of Everton,
applying themselves to the honourable court of the Duchy, and there making it appear that Everton was a manor of
itself, known by the meres and bounds distinct from West Derby, and that the benefit of the wastes thereof had time
out of mind been taken and had by the tenants of Everton, the said copyholders of West Derby were forbid to enclose
or meddle with the said wastes of Everton, as per the following order.

and others of West Derby, as the copyholders and others of Everton —Now forasmuch as it was this day
informed by the council of the tenants and inhabitants.of Everton, that the same is or anciently was a
manor of itself, and is a town distinct and known by meates and bounds, and that the benefit of the wastes
thereof has time out of mind been taken and had by the tenants and inhabitants of Everton ; and that the
tenants of Kirkdale have and do pay to Everton 6s. 8d. per annum for liberty of common in part of the
wastes in Everton, which is to continue so long as the same lies open and unenclosed, and that the tenants
of West Derby have not had, nor ought to have, any common on the wastes of Everton –IT IS THEREFORE
ORDERED, that the allotments and enclosures of the wastes of Everton shall stay and be forborn till further
hearing of the said difference, at which time this court will order to whom the said wastes of Everton shall
be granted.—Wide the order.
& By the aforesaid agreement and order it does not only appear that Everton was a distinct manor or township
from West Derby, but also that it had common or waste grounds belonging to it, for which the yearly rent of 13s. 4d.
was paid to the crown, and also that the tenants of Everton, by agreement with their neighbours of Kirkdale, received
the yearly rent of 6s. 8d. for granting them liberty of common on part of their wastes; and that notwithstanding a
commission issued, and an agreement was made (as above), yet the court did not think it just to suffer the tenants of
West Derby to intrude or encroach upon the wastes of and belonging to Everton ; upon which the whole proceeding
dropt, and the tenants of Everton remained in quiet and peaceable possession as formerly.
ANNo 4TH CAR. I. 1628. The king, by his letters patent, bearing date the 14th day of June, in the
fourth year of his reign, did grant to Edward Ditchfield, John Highlord, Humphrey Clarke, and Francis
Mosse, citizens of London, and their heirs (amongst other things), the manor of West Derby, with all and
singular its rights, members, and appurtenances, and all his Majesty's lands, tenements, rents, and heredita-
ments whatsoever in the county of Lancaster, called or known by the name of the lordship or manor of
West Derby, to hold to them the said Ditchfield, Highlord, Clarke, and Mosse, their heirs and assigns, in
fee farm for ever, as by the said patents may more at large appear.
Under colour of which patent, the said patentees did not only claim to have passed and granted unto
them thereby from his Majesty the said manor of West Derby, but likewise all his Majesty's manors of

Wavertree and Everton, which then were, and time out of mind had been, several manors of themselves,
separated and known by meres and bounds from the said manor of West Derby; distinct and several
yearly rents still answered and paid to his Majesty and his royal progenitors for the same, and therefore
passed not from his Majesty by the said letters patents by the grant of the said manor of West Derby, &c.
as the tenants of Wavertree and Everton were informed by their council learned in the law. And therefore
the said tenants refusing to pay any rent to the said patentees, or do any suit or service at their court held
at West Derby, the said patentees caused the goods of the said tenants of Wavertree and Everton to be
distrained, and the said tenants replevyed the said distresses; upon which a suit at law was commenced by
the said patentees against the said tenants of Wavertree and Everton, who being but poor men, and unable
to contest the same with the city of London, did, (for the more speedy bringing the same to an issue) in the
month of May, 1632, petition his said Majesty to refer the examination and decision of the said difference
to the right honourable the Lord Newburgh, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, calling to his assistance
some such of his Majesty's judges at Westminster as should be thought fit for the final determining of the
said matter-to which petition there was an answer subscribed at Greenwich, the 8th day of May, 1632,
in these words :--It is his Majesty's gracious pleasure, that the right honourable Lord Newburgh, Chancellor
of the Duchy of Lancaster, assisted by his Majesty's Attorney General and council of the Duchy, shall take
into consideration the case of the petitioners, and by the best and fittest means they can satisfy the doubts
and differences above mentioned, as they shall find most equal and agreeable to truth and justice.

and Everton, in the county of Lancaster, concerning a difference and question between them and the patentees
for the city of London, whether the said manors of Wavertree and Everton be parcel and appendant to the
manor of West Derby, hath been graciously pleased to refer the examination of the said difference unto me,
and to end and compose them as shall be most agreeable to the truth and justice of the cause:—These are
therefore to require all parties interested in the said cause to attend the hearing thereof upon the said

ANNO 1632. Whereupon the said Lord Newburgh calling to his assistance Sir Humphrey Davenport,
Knt. Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, William Noy, Attorney General, and the council of the same
court, did, in the presence of the said parties, hear the council learned on both sides only concerning whether
the said towns Wavertree and Everton were several distinct manors of themselves, or but only as members
of the said manor of West Derby, and so by consequence whether they passed or passed not from his
Majesty to the said patentees now complainants by the said letters patents. Upon which hearing of the
same cause divers copies of records remaining in the tower of London were shewed forth to prove the same
to be several manors distinct from the said manor of West Derby; upon view and hearing whereof, the
said judges declared their opinions, that the same were several manors, and no part or members of the said
manor of West Derby, and thereupon the court made the following order, viz.
DIE LUNE, 2D DEC. 1633. It is this day ordered, upon motion of Mr. Blundell, of council with his
Majesty's tenants of the manors of Wavertree and Everton, in the county of Lancaster, that the said tenants
may keep their rents in their hands, and shall not be troubled by distresses or processes out of this court
for the same, till such time as they have direction from this court to whom they shall pay the same.—
Wide the Order.
ANNO 23d JUNE 1634. The said patentees not being satisfied with the abovesaid judgment, and
intending to weary out the said poor tenants, brought their bill in Chancery against the said tenants, setting
forth their purchase, and praying the said tenants might answer thereto ; and also amerced and distrained
the said tenants for non-payment of their rent, and for not appearing and doing their services, and for other
matters at the said court held at West Derby.—Wide bill and ans. and decretal order.
DIE JOVIS, 20th Nov. 1634. Whereupon the said tenants being perplexed and harassed by the said
patentees, applied again to the court of the Duchy, which court thereupon made the following order:—
Whereas the court was this day informed by Mr. Downes, of council for and on the behalf of the tenants
and inhabitants of the manors of Wavertree and Everton, in the county of Lancaster, that the said tenants
and inhabitants have been lately at several halmote courts held for the manor of West Derby, lately sold
to the citizens of London, amerced for not appearing and doing their services, and for other matters at the said
court held at West Derby aforesaid: whereas the said tenants of Wavertree and Everton are tenants to his
Majesty, and do not owe any suits or service to the lords of the manor of West Derby; and therefore it
was desired on the said tenants and inhabitants behalf, that they might be discharged of the said amer-
ciaments and fines, if there be any imposed by the steward of the said manor upon the said tenants and
inhabitants, which motion this court thought reasonable: and it is now ordered, that the steward and bailiff
of the said manor of West Derby, upon notice of this order, shall forbear to impose, collect, or gather any
fines or amerciaments of any of the said tenants and inhabitants of Wavertree and Everton for not appearing
or doing their service at the said halmote courts kept for the said manor of West Derby aforesaid, or for
any other matter against them, or any of them, in any wise presented to the said court.
ANNO 11TH FEB. 1634. By an order of the court of Chancery for the Duchy of Lancaster, the cause
depending in that court between Ditchfield and others plaintiffs, and Rowland Johnson and others
defendants, was absolutely dismissed out of that court, and the rights of Everton were established, and
their possession quieted, and continued as formerly. And the said patentees and the said tenants of West
Derby were set at liberty to try the cause at common law if they thought fit, and thereupon the court made
the following further order, viz. –
DIE LUNE, 17th FEB. 1634. Upon motion of Mr. Blundell of council with the tenants of Everton, in
148 (ſºreggon's 330rtfolio of jragments:
the county of Lancaster, it is ordered, that the Receiver General of this court shall forthwith receive from
the tenants of Everton the arrearages of their rents, being in arrear for two years and a-half ended at the
feast of St. Michael the Archangel last past, amounting in toto to £12, 11s. 11d. ; and the said Receiver,
upon payment thereof, shall give them an acquittance for the same: and it is further ordered, that they
shall from henceforth continue the payment of their said rents to the said Receiver General as they shall
grow due, till this court take further order therein to the contrary. And it is hereby ordered, that none of
the said tenants of Everton shall be distrained or molested in their lands or goods for the said rents so
paid, and to that end this order shall be inrolled with the auditor for the north parts. Subscribed
WM. FANSHAW, AUDITOR.
ANNO 1635. The tenants of Wavertree and Everton petition the King to be admitted purchasers,
and that in the mean time a court may be kept for them as formerly; the consideration of which petition
his Majesty was pleased to refer to the right honourable the Lord Cottington and Mr. Attorney General,
with whom the tenants or their agents were admitted to treat, and upon the terms propounded had liberty
to go down into the country and advise with the rest of the tenants thereabout.
But in the mean time, and while this treaty was in agitation, and to prevent the conclusion thereof,
the plaintiffs, by their council Mr. Wrightington, moved the court to have the cause ret. whereupon the
court made the following order:— -
30TH MAY 1636. It is therefore now ordered, that the plaintiffs shall reply to the defendants'
answers before the end of Michaelmas term next, and so the cause to proceed to a legal hearing in this
court according to the ordinary course, and the injunctions formerly granted to stand in force.
8TH MAY 1638. Forasmuch as in the matter depending in this court no cause was shewed why
publication should not be granted according to an order of the first of this instant May; it is therefore this
day ordered, that publication be granted, and that the cause be set down to be heard on Thursday, the
7th day of June next, upon ten days' warning to be given to the plaintiffs or one of them.
The plaintiffs, instead of coming to a hearing, pursuant to the above order, make a purchase of the
said manors of Wavertree and Everton; and the King by his letters patents, bearing date the 14th year of
his reign, did give and grant to the said Ditchfield, Highlord, Clarke, and Mosse, the said lordship and
manor of West Derby, with its appurtenances; and also the town or towns of Everton and Wavertree, in
the said county, with their appurtenances, to have and to hold to the said Ditchfield, Highlord, Clarke,
and Mosse, their heirs and assigns, in fee-farm for ever, as by the said letters patents upon record as well
in the high Court of Chancery as in the Duchy Chamber may more at large appear; whereupon the said
tenants of Everton and Wavertree paid their rent to the said purchasers, &c.
ANNO 1639, 20th JUNE. They the said Edward Ditchfield, John Highlord, Humphrey Clarke, and
Francis Mosse, by their indenture bearing date the twentieth June 1639, made between them and the said
Ditchfield, Highlord, Clarke, and Mosse of the one part, and James Stanley of the honourable Order of the
Bath, Lord Stanley and Strange, of the other part, the said patentees, for the considerations therein men-
tioned, did grant, bargain, sell, and confirm to the said James Lord Stanley and Strange, his heirs and
assigns, the said lordship and manor of West Derby, with all its rights, members, and appurtenances, and
also the said town or towns of Wavertree and Everton, with all their appurtenances, to have and to hold
to the said James Lord Strange and Stanley, his heirs and assigns, for ever.—Wide the indenture.
& Everton is not purchased as a part or member of West Derby, but as a distinct township of itself, with all
its rights, &c.
And the said James Lord Stanley and Strange being so seized, did, in or about the month of November
in the 17th year of the reign of King Charles, appoint a court baron to be kept in and for the said manor
and towns, Sir Richard Molyneux, Bart, being then steward ; at which court it was found, that Everton
paid for their inclosed lands £5, 11s 3%d per annum, and for their common by the name of Houghfield,
Netherfield, and Whitfield, 13s 4d. per annum, and at every king's fifteen 2s for the said common.—Vide
the rentally and many receipts.

ANNO 18TH CAR. II. Charles, Earl of Derby, son and heir of James, late Earl of Derby, being seized
of the said manors and towns, divers debates and differences were stirred up between the said Earl and his
copyhold tenants of the said manor and towns touching the fines due to the said Earl from his said copy-
hold tenants respectively upon every admittance upon every descent or alienation, the said Earl alledging,
that by the custom of the said manor, the fines due to the lord thereof have been uncertain and arbitrary,
and the said copyholders alledging, that the said fines so to be paid as aforesaid have been certain ; and for
the composing the said differences, and quieting the said copyholders in their possessions, certain articles
were proposed to be agreed unto by the said copyhold tenants; whereupon Mr. Robert Carter and William
Halsall were deputed by the copyhold tenants of Everton to treat for themselves and others about a com-
position to be paid the said Earl, in consideration of settling their fines certain for all time to come ; and
the said Robert Carter and William Halsall did enter into articles of agreement indented, bearing date the
1st day of January, in the year aforesaid, made between the right honourable Charles Earl of Derby, etc.
of the one part, and the said Robert Carter and William Halsall and others, copyhold tenants of Everton,
of the other part, wherein, amongst other things, it was agreed, that the said copyholders should pay to
the said Earl twelve years' rents of their ancient yearly rents as mentioned in a schedule thereto annexed,
and should permit the said Earl to inclose one-third part of their common to him and his heirs for ever,
etc. And the said Earl for himself and his heirs, in consideration thereof, doth covenant to and with the
#igtorg amb ºntiquities of 3Lancašijire. 149
said tenants, that he will settle and confirm by decree of Chancery, etc. their copyhold rents and fines
certain for all time to come ; and that they the said copyholders should enjoy the herbage of the other
two-thirds of their said common left open and uninclosed to them and their heirs for ever, etc. To which
articles many of the copyholders of West Derby and Wavertree did agree to and come unto, and afterwards
other articles were agreed unto, including the residue of the said tenants; but lest it should be thought or
intended by any of the said copyholders, that the said articles did conclude all those said towns as one
manor, and thereby render their ancient rights and priviledges general and promiscuous, it is thereby
expressly declared, that the said copyholders do, for themselves severally and respectively, and not jointly,
the one for the other, and for their several and respective heirs, etc., covenant, promise, grant, and agree to
and with the said Earl, etc.; and the said Earl doth hereby agree and covenant, that his trustee or
trustees shall agree with and grant to the said copyholders parties to those presents, and their heirs
respectively, that for and notwithstanding any name or thing herein before mentioned or agreed upon, the
said copyholders respectively, and their respective heirs and assigns, shall have the same liberty, freedom,
and priviledge in the said two parts of the said waste and common remaining to their respective copyholds
as they held, used, and enjoyed before the making of these presents in the whole, as by the said articles;
and the said Robert Carter and William Halsall, bound for the said Earl, and the said Earl's receipt for
the money paid may more at large appear. In pursuance of which said articles, and agreeable to the true
sense and meaning thereof, the said Earl or his successor William Earl of Derby, did inclose and lease to
his tenants at West Derby one-third part of their several and respective commons, and to his tenants of
Wavertree one-third part of their commons, and to his tenants of Everton one-third part of their commons,
which said inclosures of Everton amounted to sixty acres, and there remain open and uninclosed one
hundred and twenty acres belonging to Everton, being the other two-thirds of the said common as by the
survey at the time of the said inclosing as above may appear. -
Here ends the MS. 1768.
The ancient Fire-Beacon, of which we have given a view in page 143, was standing a few years ago;
but it presented evident marks of decay. If not built at an earlier date by some other person, it was
probably built about 1220, by Randulph Blundeville, Earl of Chester, who returning from the Holy Land,
anno 1220, erected Beeston Castle, which is distinctly visible from the site of the late Everton Fire-
Beacon, which communicated northernly to Ashurst Beacon, near Wigan, and to the one at Rivington
Pike, near Bolton. Earl Randulph owned Great and Little Bolton, with all the lands between the rivers
Mersey and Ribble, in Lancashire—viz. the town and wapentake of West Derby, the borough of Liverpool,
the town and wapentake of Salford, & the wapentake of Leyland, together with all the forests &
appurtenances.” Possessed of such considerable property, it is most likely that he would not neglect to
build this range of Beacons, if they had not been built before ; in the latter case, they might have been
erected by Hugh Cyvelocke, Earl Randulph's father; or Randulph the second, his grandfather, to whom
King Stephen first granted these lands in Lancashire, having held them himself before he was king.”
Beacons were objects of much attention during the threatened invasion by Spain, tempo, Queen
Elizabeth ; and that at Everton was considered useful during the late war, whilst his Royal Highness the
Duke of Gloucester was General of this district. The Beacon stood nearly upon the ground occupied by
the new church, and it was the spot around which Prince Rupert, when he came to besiege Liverpool, in
1644, pitched his camp, and from whence he sent daily detachments to work at the batteries placed on the
high fields above the infirmary. On digging up the ground lately for the foundations of the houses which
form Seymour and Gloucester streets, evident marks were discovered of a line of entrenchments. A battery
was discernible, with various remains—broken bottles, belts, and ball.—This perfectly accords with the
accounts we have had of this siege.”
In the preceding account, folio 158, tempo. Edward III. we find that the town of Everton contained
19 nativi. Presuming every nativus to have had an habitation or cottage, at 5% to each cottage, the
population would be about 104. In 1790 a survey was made of this township ; it then contained 67
houses, and the quantity of land was 309 A. 1 R. 27 P. of eight yards to the rood, Everton measure ;
eight perches was the least allotment, and 35 A. 1 R. 15 P. the largest, belonging to John Shaw, Esq.
In 1802 it contained 87 houses, inhabited by 499 people ; but in 1811 it contained 167 houses, built and
building, and 91.3 people; and at this period (1816) there are 175 inhabited houses, and 13 being built ;
total 188—the number of houses being more than doubled in the short space of fourteen years. In 1815
it was charged at a rental under the income tax of £9981 ;' and it has increased in a greater ratio since
that period. Water is about to be conveyed from Bootle to this elevated and pleasant village. It is
vulgarly called Yerton, Hiretune, or Higher town, which now begins to connect itself with the lower. In
some places the boundary between Liverpool and Everton is covered.

of building is Gothic. The roof is of cast-iron, covered with slates. The pillars under the galleries, the
window frames, part of the pulpit, and many of the internal and external ornaments, are also of cast-iron.

Lies near the sea, on a very sandy soil. It is much frequented in the summer for sea-bathing. In
the year 1811 it contained 610 inhabitants; in 1815 the rental was £4280. There are several good and
well-built houses at Bootle, and a very copious spring of fine soft pure water, which, within about half-a-
mile from its source, after turning a mill, formerly discharged itself into the sea at Bootle Bay. This
desirable stream suggested the project of bringing the water to Liverpool so early as the 8th of Queen
Anne, when Sir Cleave More, then of More Hall and Bank Hall, Lancashire (the second Baronet of this
ancient and honourable family), obtained a private Act of Parliament for that purpose; but being found
defective, another Act was obtained in 1799, after a lapse of about ninety years, and water has since been
brought from Bootle to Liverpool. The first attempt was made about 1772, under the direction of the
late Mr. John Jordan, who purchased the right; a few pipes were then laid, the levels taken, etc.; but
adventurers were perhaps at that juncture deterred by the recollection of the scheme of bringing water
from Mosslake fields, whence an open drain was made down to Gallows' Mill.—This project was to be
supported by the sale of ten pounds' shares. It originated in the same year as the South Sea bubble, and
experienced the same fate | The natural level of the water at Bootle spring is as high as the top of St.
Paul's steps.-The Corporation also obtained an Act in 1785 for the purpose of supplying the town with
water, which is raised from springs, in Liverpool, by fire-engines: both these Acts having been carried into
effect, Liverpool is well provided with fresh water by the Corporation and Bootle works.
The other townships and hamlets of this parish are BOOTLE, LINACRE, and ORRELL, all members
of the manor of Bootle lying north of Kirkdale, as well as Ainsdale, Formby, and Ravers Meols, all washed
by the sea, except Orrell; and those towns and hamlets, etc., lying East are, Walton, Kirkby, Simonswood,
and West Derby; amongst which there are many rural situations and pleasant villages. Numerous elegant
and extensive country seats have been built around Liverpool, in these and the pleasant villages of
Wavertree, Childwall, etc. etc.

The Leeds and Liverpool Canal is one of five canals communicating with Liverpool : the Act of
Parliament was passed in 1770, and it empowered the proprietors, after leaving Liverpool, to cut through
Kirkdale, Bootle, Orrel, and Litherland, etc., connecting by water conveyance the towns of Liverpool,
Leeds, Wigan, Orrel, the great coal-mines of that district, the river Douglas, and Canal, the Lancaster
Canal, etc. We may look forward to the formation, by one or other of these Canals, of a communication
with all the large towns in Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Cumberland.
The Mersey and Irwell Navigation is of older establishment than any other in this county; it was
planned in the year 1712, by the late Thomas Steers, Esq. of Liverpool, about the time of the completion
of the Old Dock, for which an act of Parliament was passed in 1709. The powers given to the
Mersey and Irwell Navigation Company are uncommonly great, which is to be ascribed to the novelty
of the undertaking. They have powers to carry the canal in any line they may deem suitable to connect
the two towns of Liverpool and Manchester. The act for the Weaver Navigation was granted in 1720
and three others have followed; so that we have now six canals that enter, or intend to enter, Liverpool
harbour.

We select from Dr. Enfield's History of Liverpool the following account of Bank Hall, drawn up
about 1772, as we have been informed, by the late ingenious P. P. Burdett.
“Kirkdale is a township on the south of Bootle, of which manor also it is a member. The village
itself is populous, and pleasantly seated on the declivity of a hill. It followed the fortune of Bootle at the
Conquest, and with it became afterwards part of the estate of the family of More, or De la More, who, about
the year 1280, established themselves here, and built a seat near Leverpool called More-hall, and from
thence they were denominated Mores of More-hall; soon after which probably they also built Bank-hall
for a country or summer residence, situated in. Kirkdale, near the sea. It was a curious model of the
ancient architecture, such as prevailed about 500 years ago, and doubtless in those days was esteemed a very
grand structure. The front of it was moated with water, over which was a passage by a bridge between
two obelisks to the gateway, whereon was a tower, on which were many shields of arms carved in stone ;
of which the most remarkable was that within the court, over the gate, being undoubtedly the atchievement
of the founder, viz. 1st, Ten trefoils, 4, 3, 2, 1. 2d. Three greyhounds current, in pale. 3d. A buck's
head, cabosh'd, in front. 4th. A griphon rampant. Crest, a more-cock volant. Date 1282.
“The great hall was a curious piece of antiquity, much ornamented with carvings, busts, and shields.
It had no ceiling, but was open quite up to the roof, with various projections of the carved parts, whereon
trophies of war and military habiliments were formerly suspended. On a wall, between the court and
garden, was a grand arrangement of all the armorial acquisitions of the family. The shields were carved
on circular stones, elevated and placed at equal distances, like an embattlement. But this venerable pile
has lately been demolished, and will probably soon be forgotten.”

THE story of the DRAGON OF WANTLEY! we ever attributed to the Family of More Hall, in the
Hundred of West Derby ; with which, however magnified, we must acquiesce. Dugdale observes of the story of
Guy, Earl of Warwick, fol. 262, that “It hath been so usual with our ancient Historians, for the encouragement of
after ages unto bold attempts, to set forth the exploits of worthy men with the highest encomiums imaginable.”
And as this story may have been the dream of a monk, who has sung the praises of this Family, Dugdale further
says, “and therefore, should we for that cause be so conceited as to explode it, all History of those times might as
well be villified.” Though many such stories no doubt have been related, we shall here refer our readers to a
similar one in the Harl. MSS. No. 2119, Art. 36, in the time of Thomas Venables, Gent, living at Golborne David,
Cheshire : “Hitt chancyd a terrible Dragon to remayne and make his abode in the Lordshippe of Moston, in the
County of Chester ; where he devowred all such persons as he layd hold on. Which the said Wenables hearinge
tell of, consyderinge the pittyfull and dayly destruction of the people without recouery (in following the example of
the valiant Romaynes, and other worthy men ; not regarding his own life, in comparison of the commodity and
safeguard of his countrymen) did in his own person valiantly and couragiously set on the said Dragon. Where first he
shott him throw with an arrow, and afterwards with othere weapons, manfully slew him : at which instant tyme, the
said Dragon was devowring a child. For which worthy and valiant act, was giuen him the Lordshippe of Moston,
by the Auncestors of the Earle of Oxford, Lord of the Fee there. And also euer since, the said Thomas Venables
and his Heires in remembrance thereof, have used to bear, as well as in theire Armes, as in theire Crest, a Dragon”
—Which augmentation of a Dragon on the Arms, and a Demi Dragon for a Crest,” was confirmed to Sir Thomas
Venables, Knt., Baron of Kinderton, and his family, by the patent of Lawrence Dalton Norry, 2d of November 1560.
A modern author, the Rev. Mr. Hunter of Bath, in his History of Hallamshire, 1820, and IIistory of
Sheffield, introduces the story of the Dragon of Wantley, and mentions the place where he was killed, which we will
not contradict, as we find no evidence to the contrary ; but we shall, we trust, convince our readers, if they will
examine, that the Knight there spoken of in rhyme, did not live where they have pointed out, “hard by ;” though
he might have his Lodging hard by, from thence called More Hall; but we think the More that killed the Dragon
must have been a man highly distinguished. The More of More Hall, the Dragon killing man, we have ever
attributed to the Mores of Lancashire.” When Sir William de la More, famous for his gallantry, distinguished
himself at the Battle of Poictiers, his Ancestors had been residents in Lancashire for generations (contemporary
with Guy, Earl of Warwick, for ought we know). Fuller, in his Worthies of England, under the head of Gloucester-
shire, says that this Sir William, who wrote the lives of the Kings Edward I. and II., who was of Gloucestershire,
proves to be a Lancashire man.*
“A Man whose Fame extended far
For Arts in Peace, and Feats in Warr.”
“Indeed he was no Carpet Knight, as he brought his honour with him out of Scotland on his sword's point,
being Knighted by King Edward I. for his no less fortunate than valiant services therein ; nor less was his fidelity
to his son, Edward II, though unable to help him against his numerous enemies. But though he could not keep
him from being deposed, he did him the service faithfully to write the manner of his deposition, being a rare manu-
script, extant in Oxford library. This worthy Knight flourished A.D. 1326.” And his ancestors from 1200. We
further trace of this family, that John de la More was Member of Parliament for Cumberland in the 6th of Henry
IV., and Thomas in the 8th of Henry V., and again in the 8th of Henry VI, and was also in the 29th and 33d years
of that reign. From the time of the 4th of Queen Mary, 1556, to the 10th of Charles I., 1634, we count eighteen
Mayors of Liverpool, chosen out of this family, in the records. In the 7th of James I., 1620, we find Edward
More, Esq., the same year he was Mayor, appointed High Sheriff of Lancashire, and sworn in to his office in the
Common Hall, at Liverpool, before Sir Richard Molineux, Knt., and Gregory Turner, Minister of Sefton, two of His
Majesty's Justices of the Peace for the said County. Fuller, in his Worthies, gives his bearings ten trefoils, as
mentioned folio 153, and John More was the last Mayor of Liverpool, of this family, 1633. About 1560 John
More, Esq. of Bank Hall, married the youngest daughter of Sir Richard Molineux, Knt. of Sefton, by whom he
had a son, John, afterwards Colonel John More, who was Governor of Liverpool, and Colonel in the Parliamentary
army when it was besieged by Prince Rupert, 1644.” We are certain the Colonel was implicated in contributing
and aiding much in the trial and beheading of the unfortunate King ;” so much so, that at the Restoration it was a
difficult matter, with all the interest of his son's Northumberland connections, who were staunch loyalists, to save the
fortune for the wife and children of the said Colonel John More, who had married the daughter of Rigby. 78
Colonel John's only son, Edward, married two wives; first, the daughter of Sir William Fenwick, Bart.
of Mildon, in Northumberland, aunt to Sir John Fenwick, Bart, county of Northumberland. This Edward, by his
first wife, had four sons; the two eldest died young. Sir Cleave, who succeeded him, was the third son, and Thomas,
his other son, died S. P. By his second wife , daughter of Sir Thomas Bloodsworth, Knt., he had a daughter,
Matilda, wife of Thomas Whitloe, Gent., of Bootle, whose family afterwards lived at Finch House, West Derby ; and
a son, Edward, who died young—a branch of Whitloes resident at Bootle.
I. Sir Edward More, Bart., was the first Baronet of this family, and was so created in 1673; he was to have
been created in the year 1660, but the Itecipe was not signed until March 1st, 1661-2, and the patent did not pass
the Great Seal until November 22d, 1673. His lament upon his disappointment in not being returned M.P. for
Liverpool, is lately published by Mr. Kaye in his “Stranger in Liverpool” for 1820. .
II. Sir Cleave More, Bart, who succeeded his father in title and estate, was M.P. for Bramber in. Sussex,
in 1708; and married Ann, daughter and heiress of Joseph Edmunds, Esq. of Cumberlow, in Clothall Parish, in
Hertfordshire, son of Sir Joseph Edmunds, Esq. of London, who served for Alderman. Sir Cleave More, Bart, soon
after the year 1710, sold all his estates in Kirkdale, Bank Hall, Bootle, Linacre, his houses, reversion, and lands in
Liverpool, West Derby, &c., also his entire interest in Lancashire; all which lands, houses, &c., have since increased
Wonderfully in value: at that time the spirit of the people of Liverpool was beginning to expand, and the lands then
sold bring in more per annum at the present time than they first cost. It is well known that sales have been made
of parts, five times over, equal to the first fee simple, within the last century. Sir Cleave More, Bart, had a son,
III. Sir Joseph Edmonds More, Bart., who married a daughter of Newman, Esq., of Lincolns-Inn-
Fields, by whom he left three sons and three daughters; he died 14th March, 1731-2.
IV. Sir Joseph Edmonds More, Bart, the eldest son, married, in 1736, Henretta Maria, daughter of Mr.
William Morris, of Farnham and Farringdon in Berkshire; by her he left one son, about March 29th, 1741,
and was succeeded by his only son in dignity and estate.
V. Sir William More, the present Baronet, who married, and had one daughter, Eliza, in 1795, who is wife of
Charles Browning, Esq. of Horton Lodge, in Surry. The residence of this baronet was lately at Stamford in Lincolnshire.

A TRUE RELATION OF THE DREADFUL COMBATE
BETWEEN
ſīlūrt of ſtirrtºall
AND
THE DRAGON OF WANTLEy.
1.
LD Stories tell how Hercules
' A Dragon slew at Lerna,
With seven Heads and fourteen Eyes
To see and well descerna ;
But he had a Club
This Dragon to drub,
Or he had ne'r don't, I warrant ye ;
But More of More-Hall,
With nothing at all,
He slew the Dragon of Wantley.
2.
This Dragon had two furious Wings,
Each one upon each Shoulder,
With a sting in his Tayl
As long as a Flayl,
Which made him bolder and bolder.
He had long Claws,
And in his Jaws,
Four and forty Teeth of Iron,
With a Hide as Tough as any Buff,
Which did him round Inviron.
3.
Have you not heard that the Trojan Horse
Held seventy men in his Belly
This Dragon was not quite so big,
But very near, I'll tell ye,
Devour did he,
Poor Children Three,
That could not with him grapple ;
And at one Sup,
He eat them up,
As one should eat an Apple.
4.
All sorts of Cattle this Dragon did eat,
Some say he'd eat up Trees,
And that the Forrest sure he would
Devour up by degrees.
For Houses and Churches
Were to him Gorse and Buirches :
He eat all, and left none behind,
But some stones, dear Jack,
Which he could not crack,
Which on the Hills you will find.
In Yorkshire near fair Rotheram,
The Place I know it well,
Some two or three Miles, or thereabouts,
I vow I cannot tell ;
But there is a Hedge,
Just on the Hill Edge,
And Matthew's House hard by it : .
Oh there and then,
Was this Dragon's Den,
You could not choose but spy it.
Some say this Dragon was a Witch;
Some say he was the Devil,
For from his Nose, a smoke arose,
And with it burning Snivil,
Which he cast off,
When he did Cough,
In a Well, that he did stand by,
Which made it look,
Just like a Brook,
Running with burning Brandy.
7.
Hard by a furious Knight there dwelt,
Of whom all Towns did Ring;
For he could wrestle, play at Quarter-Staff,
Kick, Cuff, Box, Huff,
Call Son of a W-e :
Do any kind of thing;
By the Tail, and the Main,
With his hands twain,
He swong a horse till he was dead,
And that which was stranger,
He for very Anger,
Eat him all up but his Head.

These Children as I told being eat,
Men, Women, Girles, and Boyes,
Sighing and sobbing, came to his Lodging,
And made a hideous Noyse.
Oh, save us all, More of More-Hall,
Thou peerless Knight of these Woods;
Do but slay this Dragon,
We won't leave us a Rag on,
Wee'l give thee all our Goods.
9.
Tut, Tut, quoth he, no Goods I want,
But I want, I want insooth,
A fair Maid of Sixteen that's brisk,
And smiles about the Mouth :
Hair as black as a Sloe,
Both above and below,
With a Blush her Cheekes adorning;
To 'noynt me o're Night,
E’re I go to fight,
And to dress me in the Morning.
10.
This being done, he did engage
To hew this Dragon down,
But first he went New Armour to
Bespeak, at Sheffield Town,
With Spikes all about,
Not within, but without,
Of Steel so sharp and strong,
Both behind and before,
Arms, Legs, all o're,
Some five or six Inches long.
11.
Had you but seen him in this Dress,
How fierce he look’t, and big,
You would have thought him for to be
An Egyptian Porcu-Pig :
He frighted all,
Cats, Dogs, and all ;
Each Cow, each Horse, and each Hog,
For fear did flee,
For they took him to be
Some strange outlandish Hedghogg.
12.
To see this fight all People there,
Got upon Trees and Houses,
On Churches some, and Chimneys too ;
But they put on their Trowzes,
Not to spoyl their Hose.
As soon as he rose,
To make him strong and mighty,
He drank by the Tayl,
Six pots of Ale,
And a Quart of Aqua-vitae.
13.
It is not Strength that always wins,
For Wit doth Strength excel,
Which made our cunning Champion
Creep down into a Well,
Where he did think,
This Dragon would drink,
And so he did in Truth;
And as he stoop’t low,
He rose up and cry’d boe,
And hit him in the Mouth.

Oh, quoth the Dragon, pox take you come out,
Thou that disturb'st me in my Drink,
And then he turn’d and s—t at him,
Good lack how he did stink : -
Beshrew thy Soul,
Thy Body is foul,
Thy Dung smells not like Balsome :
Thou son of a W-e,
Thou stink'st so sore,
Sure thy Dyet is unwholesome.
15.
Our Politick Knight, on the other side
Crep't out upon the Brink,
And gave the Dragon such a doust,
He knew not what to think;
By Cock, quoth he,
Say you so, do you see,
And then at him he let flie;
With Hand and with Foot,
And so they went to't,
And the Word it was, Hey Boyes hey.
16.
Your Word, quoth the Dragon, I don't understand,
Then to't they fell at all,
Like two Wild Bears, so fierce, I may
Compare great things with small :
Two Dayes and a Night,
With this Dragon did fight,
Our Champion on the Ground,
Tho' their Strength it was great,
Yet their Skill it was meat,

At length the hard Earth began for to quake,
The Dragon gave him such a knock,
Which made him to Reel,
And straight way he thought
To lift him as high as a Rock;
And thence let him fall,
But More of More-Hall,
Like a valiant son of Mars ;
As he came like a Lout,
So he turn'd him about,
And hit him a kick on the A– e.
18.
Oh, quoth the Dragon, with a Sigh,
And turn'd six times together,
Sobbing, and tearing, cursing, and swearing
Out of his Throat of Leather.
Oh, thou Raskal,
More of More-Hall,
Would I had seen you never,
With the Thing at thy Foot,
Thou hast prick’t my A—e Gut ;
Oh, I am quite undone for ever.
19.
Murder, Murder, the Dragon cry'd,
Alack, alack, for Grief,
Had you but mist that Place, you could
Have done me no Mischief;
Then his head he shak’t,
Trembled, and Quackt,
And down he layd, and cryed ;
First on one Knee,
Then on back, tumbled he,
So groan'd, kick’t, s—t, and dyed.

BANK HALL stood near the present farm-house called Bank Hall, and was formerly the residence of the
Mores of More Hall and Bank Hall. It appears from many ancient deeds remaining in the family, and
the achievements and inscriptions engraved on the walls, that the family of More, or De la More, were
the possessors of these houses for upwards of twenty generations. Sir William De la More was made
Knight-banneret by Edward the Black Prince, at the battle of Poictiers. He was a man of considerable
importance : he wrote the lives of Edward I. and III., works much quoted by authors of those days.1–

also Blome's Britannia, printed 1673, fol. 134.—639 Baronet by creation, 1675.
The arms of the Mores were re-granted by patent 9th Elizabeth,
1567, by L. Dalton, Norroy King-at-Arms, and were as follows:—
(1.) Argent, 3 hare hounds current in pale sable, collared or, for
More. (2) Argent, 10 trefoils slipt, vert, 4, 3, 2, 1, for Turton.”
(3) Sable, a buck's head cabossed within an orle of ten escallop shells,
argent, for Chamberlane. (4.) Argent, a griffin rampant, sable,
for Griffin. (5) Argent, a chevron engrailed betwixt 3 garbs,
sable, for Derby. (6.) As the first, except that the first now on the
dexter chief is charged with the arms of Ulster. Crest, a moor-
cock, argent, with wings expanded, gutté de poix, combed, wattled ;
in its beak an ear of wheat. Motto, DIEU ET MON PORT."—The
gentleman sometimes complimented the lady by putting her arms
on the first quarter.” Some of this family quartered Broughton,
sable, gutté de sang, a buck's head cabossed, argent, for Broughton
(which was perhaps the one engraved over the door); for Hawarden of Wooleston, argent, gutté, sable, a
fess, nebulé, of the second. This family married into the Fenwicks of the north. In Liverpool there are
More-fields, More-street, Fenwick-street, etc., and here they were great and liberal land-owners.

ToxtETH PARK was anciently a park belonging to the Dukes and Earls of Lancaster. It lastly remained
with the family of the Lord Visc. Molyneux, Earl of Sefton, who have, within these few years, disposed
of many lots for country residences and buildings. Though in the return of the county it is said to be
extra-parochial, there have recently been built in it two churches—St. Michael's, of which we give the
annexed view, was only consecrated in 1815. Toxteth Park was entirely composed of farms so late as
about the year 1770, when the first farm, Thos. Turner's, was broken up for building land, and it is at
present nearly covered with houses. The chief promoter of this scheme was Mr. Cuthbert Bisbrown, an
enterprising man. This township lies south of Liverpool.
Adam de Molyneux, 1228, had a forestership in the county of Lancaster, and in 1255 had £15
a-year in land, and was knighted;" and Sir Richard Molyneux signalised himself in the wars with France
under King Henry V., and bore a very brilliant part in the battle of Agincourt, after which he was
knighted. He was not less, however, in favour with Henry VI., who, in consideration of his son Richard's
services, granted to them and their heirs male, by patent, dated at Brandon, 28th July 1446, the chief
forestership of the Royal Forest and Parks in the wapentake of West Derbyshire; with the offices of
serjeant or steward of that and the wapentake of Salfordshire, and constable of the Castle of Liverpool—
confirmed 1459, in the same reign. Thus the Forest of Simonswood, and the two Royal Parks of
Croxteth and Toxteth, came into the possession of this family, with whom these properties have remained
to the present time, but they are now being divided into numerous allotments.

ST, MICHAEL's CHURCH was built agreeably to an Act of Parliament obtained in 1815, the preamble of
which runs thus:–
Whereas, owing to the great increase of inhabitants within Toxteth Park, in the parish of Walton-on-the-Hill, in the
County Palatine of Lancaster, a Chapel for Divine Worship there is become necessary :
And whereas John Cragg, Esq., hath lately purchased, appropriated, and set apart a certain piece or parcel of ground,
situate in Toxteth Park aforesaid, as and for the scite of a Church or Chapel, together with a Cemetery to the same,
and hath conveyed such piece of land to and to the use of John Moss, John Menzies, John Garnett, John Montgomery,
Robert Gladstone, William Hughes, Arnold Harrison, Thomas Headlam, Ashton Byrom, William Neilson, and Joseph
Gibbons, all of Liverpool, Esqrs., and the said John Cragg, their heirs and assigns, to the intent, that when such
building is finished, the same may be consecrated for Divine Service, and the Administration of Sacraments, and other
Rites and Ceremonies according to the usage of the United Church of England and Ireland :
And whereas the said John Cragg, for the purposes aforesaid, with the consent and approbation of John Leigh, of Liverpool,
in the said county of Lancaster, Esq., as the Patron of the Rectory or Parish Church of Walton aforesaid, and of the
Rev. Samuel Heathcote, Rector, and the Rev. Henry Heathcote, Vicar of the Parish and Parish Church of Walton
aforesaid, at his own expense hath built a handsome Gothic building, as and for a Church or Chapel, on part of the
said piece of land, and the same is now nearly finished, and he is, at his own expense, proceeding with all possible
expedition in finishing, furnishing, and ornamenting the same.
The rents of the seats are not to exceed £350, nor be less than £280 per annum; 100 seats are
appointed to be free for the poor, and a cemetery is also provided for them. The Rev. James Hamer, B.D.,
is the present incumbent. The next presentation is in John Leigh, Esq., the patron, his heirs and assigns
for ever. By the Act the church is placed under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Chester. Of the twelve
trustees, all have estates, and eleven of them, we are informed, are resident in the township.
The Dingle and Knot's Hole are at present the property of the Rev. John Yates and his sons, who,
by the improvements which they are making, appear duly to appreciate the beauties of the situation. At
the further end of this village the learned Jeremiah Horrocks lived, and the house in which he was born,
in 1619, is yet standing. He died on the 3d of January 1640. Dr. John Willis published some of the
papers and letters of this eminent mathematician, who has described the transit of Venus, November 24,
1639, viewed at Hoole, in this county. He is called of Lerpoliae. He was the intimate friend of Mr.
Wm. Crabtree of Broughton, near Manchester.
Toxteth Park, in 1802, contained only 352 houses, occupied by 2069 people; and in 1811, 1280
houses, inhabited by 586.4 people—a remarkable increase in so short a space of time. The assessment for
the income tax, 1815, was made upon a rental of £27,300 per annum.
Of all the villages or townships surrounding Liverpool, none is more closely connected with it than
Toxteth Park. Washed by the river Mersey after it has passed the town, it is one of the pleasant and

healthy spots in the vicinity of Liverpool. The beauties of a delightful retreat in Toxteth Park, and
which has attracted the particular care and exercised the good taste of its present owners, have been thus
pourtrayed by a native and celebrated bard:— -
inscription on the Eaſt or Bingle at 3%mot's #gle.
STRANGER, that with careless feet, Grateful for the tribute paid, Forgetful of her daily toil
Wanderest thro' this green retreat, Lordly MERSEY lov'd the maid : To trace each tract of humid soil,
Where, near gently-bending slopes, Yonder rocks still mark the place From dews and bounteous show’rs to bring
Soft the distant prospect opes; Where she met his stern embrace. The limpid treasures of her spring ;
Where the fern, in fringed pride, Stranger, curious would'st thou learn, Enfeebled by the scorching ray,
Decks the lonely valley's side ; Why she mourns her wasted Urn ? She slept the circling hours away :
Where the linnet chips his song, Soon a short and simple verse And when she op'd her languid eye,
Flitting as thou tread'st along; Shall her hapless fate rehearse. Found her silver Urn was dry.
Know, where now thy footsteps pass Ere yon neighbouring spires arose, Heedless Stranger, who so long
Q'er the bending tufts of grass, That the . prospect close, Hast listen’d to an idle song,
Bright gleaming thro' th'encirclingwood, Or ere along the startled shore Whilst trifles thus thy notice share,
Once a Naiad roll'd her flood : Echo'd loud the cannon's roar, Hast thou no URN that asks thy care.”
If her Urn, unknown to fame, Once the maid in summer's heat
Pour'd no far extended stream, Careless left her cool retreat,
Yet along its grassy side, And by Sultry sun opprest,
Clear and constant flow'd the tide. Laid her wearied limbs to rest ;

WEST DERBY is the largest township in the parish of Walton, and of a very irregular figure ; it unites
with Toxteth Park, Liverpool, Wavertree, Childwall, Roby, Knowsley, Walton, and Fazakerly. The rental
in 1815 was £36,696. It contained 724 houses, and 3693 people, in 1811. In 1802 the number of
houses was 463, and the population 2636. This great increase is owing to its vicinity to Liverpool.
The Manor of West Derby was held by Edward the Confessor—see Doomsday Book, folio 46; and
by Inquisition taken 1327, see fol. 144, it was found that there was the site of “a certain ruinated castle,”
which castle, we may conclude, was the castle of Edward the Confessor, situated between the hall of
Croxteth park and Derby chapel. Not a vestige of the building remains, but a little rising of the land
indicates the spot where the castle stood. The foundation not having been explored, we cannot form any
idea of the extent or shape: it was, however, of an earlier date than the castle of Liverpool, which was only
taken down about 1724, whilst this was in ruins 400 years before that time.

CROxTETH HALL was built in the park, and is the seat of the Right
Honourable William Earl Sefton, Lord Wiscount Molyneux of Maryborough,
Ireland, and Bart. This was the second family that was created by King
James, Baronets, May 22, 1611. The hall was rebuilt by the fourth Wis-
count, Sir William Lord Wiscount Molyneux, great-grandfather of the present
Earl; which William married Bridget, daughter and heiress of Robert Lucy
of Charlecot, in the county of Warwick: he died 1717, aged 62, and was
buried in Sefton church. There is a copious account of this family in
Lodge's Irish Peerage (vol. iii. fol. 239), bringing the descents down from
1088 to 1772, when the Honourable William Molyneux, Earl of Sefton, and
Lord Wiscount Newbrough, was born. He succeeded his father, Charles
William, the late Earl, December 30th, 1794. He married January 1st,

LIVERPOOL was formerly a very inconsiderable place, not known by name or to be found in Doomsday
Book. King Henry I. granted its first charter in 1129, by which it was made a corporate and free borough.
King John also granted it a charter in 1203, as did Henry III. in 1227. John of Gaunt endowed a
chantry in the chapel. In the reign of Edward III, the Tower of Liverpool was the property of Sir
Thomas Lathom of Lathom, who presented it, with several other houses, and certain portions of land in
Liverpool, to Sir John Stanley, knt. who had married Isabella his only daughter, and heiress of Lathom.
Upon this gift Sir John, during his government of Ireland, built an extensive house, and obtained leave
of Henry IV. to fortify it with embattled walls. The whole structure was called the TOWER, at the
bottom of Water Street.
It is not our intention to enter more fully into the history of this town, than to extract a few inter-
esting notices from the best early authors who have treated upon the subject. -
In his Itinerary, 1558, LELAND thus describes Liverpool:"—“Lyrpole, alias Lyverpoole, a pavid
“towne, hath but a chapel. Walton a iii. miles of nat far from the se is paroche chirch. The King hath
“a castelet there, and the Erle of Darbe hath a stone howse there. Irisch marchaunts cum much thither,
“ as to a good haven. After that Mersey water cumming toward Rumcorne in Cheshire liseth amonge
“ the commune people the name, and is called Lyrploe. Good marchandis at Lyrpole, and much Yrisch
“ yarn that Manchester men do by ther. At Lyrpole is small custume paid, that causseth marchaunts to
“resorte.”
CAMDEN'S account of Liverpool, in 1607, is as follows:*—“From Warrington the Mersey grows
“broader, and soon after contracts itself again; but at last opens into a wide mouth very commodious for
“ trade, and then runs into the sea near Litherpoole, in Saxon Liverpole, commonly Lirpoole, called so (as
“’tis thought), from the water spread like a fenn there. It is the most convenient and frequented place
“for setting sail into Ireland, but not eminent for its being ancient as for being neat and populous. For
“ the name of it is not to be met with in old writers; but only that Roger of Poictiers, who was Lord of
“the Honor of Lancaster (as they expressed it in those times), built a castle here; the government whereof
“was enjoyed by the noble family of the Molineux, knights, whose chief seat lyes hard by at Sefton,
“which the same Roger de Poictiers bestowed upon Vivian de Molineux about the beginning of the
“Normans. For all the land between the Ribble and the Mersey belonged to the said Roger, as appears
“by Doomsday.”
We shall now introduce BLOME'S description of this place in 1673:”—“Lerpoole or Leverpoole,
“commodiously seated on the goodly river Mersey, where it affords a bold and safe harbour for ships,
“which at low water may ride at four fathom, and at high at ten; which said river is navigable for many
“miles into the country, and affords abundance of all sorts of fowl and fish, especially great quantities
“ of lamprys and smelts of the largest size, so plentifully taken, that they are commonly sold for 20 a penny.

“It is an ancient borough and corporation, sending |
“two representatives to Parliament. It is governed by a | !. -
“Mayor, Bailiffs, Aldermen, Recorder, Town Clerk, and a 2-7:S-
“Common Councel consisting of 40 Burgesses. And those
“ that are free of this town have the great benefit of being
“free of Bristol, as also of Waterford and Weshford, in
“Ireland. It is of late, at the great charge and industry
of the family of the Mores of Bank Hall, beautified with
“many goodly buildings, all of hewen stone, much to
“ the honour and advancement of the said town: which
family of the Mores, for some hundred of years, have
had a large propriety therein, and at present continue
chief lords and owners of the greatest share thereof,
“having divers streets that bear their name intirely of their
“inheritance; which hath so enlarged the town, that its
Church (though large and good, wherein were four chan- CoRPoRATION SEAL.
treys of ancient and honourable foundation)" is not enough to hold its inhabitants, which are many;
amongst which are divers eminent merchants and tradesmen, whose trade and traffick, especially into the
West Indies, makes it famous; its scituation affording in greater plenty, and at reasonabler rates then
most parts of England, such exported commodities proper for the West Indies; as likewise a quicker
return for such imported commodities, by reason of the sugar-bakers, and great manufacturers of cottens
in the adjacent parts, and the rather for that it is found to be the convenientest passage to Ireland, and
“ divers considerable counties in England with which they have intercourse of traffick. Here is now erecting
at the publick charge of the Mayor, Aldermen, &c., a famous Town-house, placed on pillars and arches
of hewen stone; and underneath is the publick Exchange for the merchants. It hath a very considerable
market on Saturdays for all sorts of provisions, and divers commodities which are bought by the mer-
chants, and thence transported as aforesaid. Amongst the places of antiquity that this town may boast
itself of these are not to be omitted—viz, on the south side stands a Castle (which commands the Pool)
built by K. John during his stay here for a wind to Ireland. On the west side, upon the said river, is
a stately and strong pile of building, called the Tower, erected many hundred years ago by Sir Jo. de
Stanley and his lady, who lye enter'd in the chancel under their alabaster tombs. On the north side is
a mansion-house called Old Hall, formerly More Hall, which gives name to the street it stands in, wherein
Sir Jo. de la More, Kt. lived temp. Hen. III. as did many of his ancestors before that time; the truth
of which appears by several deeds now in the custody of the Mores of Bank Hall, who are successively
heirs in name and blood to them. And on the east side is an ancient mansion-house, called Cross Hall,
“where divers worthy gentlemen of that name have lived for many generations.” Here is also a great
piece of antiquity, formerly a Chappel, now a Free School; at the west end whereof, next the river, stood
the statue of St. Nicholas (long since defaced and gone), to whom the mariners offered when they went to
sea. And to adde to the honour of the town, there hath been several Mayors of the greatest families
of this county; amongst which were divers of the Earls of Derby, whereof one was Lord High Constable
of England, one L. Deputy of Ireland, four Privy Councellors, and several of them Knights of the
“Garter; and since his Majesties restauration, for three years together a nobleman hath been Mayor,
“viz. Charles E. of Derby, Thomas Lord Wiscount Colchester, and William L. Strange of Knocking.”

THE CASTLE OF LIVERPOOL.
[“Anno 1662, this book begins, ends 1676.”]
ON the site of this Castle was built the Corporation Church which is called St. George's, the Steeple
of which is now rebuilding, in consequence of the old Steeple having been built in the Ditch, or the founda-
tion was so near that it slipped, and was rent from the Church some years ago, and being under great
danger of falling, was taken down a few years since.
Previously to the year 1663, the Castle was demolished; for I find in the Minute Book of the Lord
Lieutenancy a copy of the following Letter:
“Gentlemen,_Haveinge just now received from Mr. Holt, of Castleton, considerable intelligence
“sent to him out of Yorkshire, I do think it very convenient to desire your company, for your advice, with all
“expedition imaginable ; therefore pray doe me the favour to repayre hither with all speede possible, for
“thereby you may doe the King and your Country (if the intelligence hold true) very considerable service.

From the same Manuscript I learn that a general order was made to impress seamen throughout the
kingdom. The order sent to the Justices of Peace for the County of Lancaster, from the Lords of the
Council, was dated the 10th of January 1671-2, for a list of all the seamen of the kingdom, and their
names and ages: a duplicate to be sent to Charles, Earl of Derby, Vice-Admiral of Lancashire and Cheshire,
or to his deputies. May 1, 1672, a return was made of the whole number of names returned for Lanca-
shire, which was then 222, having before impressed many, and sent them off. For Lonsdale Hundred 19
names were returned ; Amounderness, 77; Derby Hundred, 82 (whereof belonged to Liverpool 49).

160 (ſºrtggon's 330rtfolio of fragments:
In the year 1347, when the whole naval power of England was assembled before Calais, one vessel only was
from Ireland, and one from the River Mersey;" London, 25 ; Bristol, 24; Hull, 16 ; all England, 81 l ; of which
great Yarmouth furnished 421 ships, and 905 men.
In 1565, the number of vessels belonging to Liverpool was 12, navigated by 75 men, from 6 to 40 tons,
283 tons in the whole. The whole hundred of West Derby, in 1672, furnished 65 barks, 6 tons and upwards:
say Liverpool, at that time, had about 1400 tons.
On the 30th of October 1752, there belonged to Liverpool 83 vessels in the African trade; 124 vessels
in the West India, American, and Foreign trade ; 28 on freight to different parts of Europe; 101 coasters and
Irish traders; and 21 in the London cheese trade—total, 357 vessels; to which add 80 sloops and flats on the
River, from 40 to 70 tons each, in the coal, salt, and Manchester trades, etc., besides a number of constant coasters,
that did not belong to this port.”
From 1771 to 1772, 2259 vessels entered Liverpool; of these 364 were from foreign parts, and measured
51,806 tons; 462 vessels, 27,809 tons, from Ireland and the Isle of Man ; and the remaining 1433 were coasters;
when 300 sail were constantly employed in the Manchester trade, and in the conveyance of salt from Northwich
and Winsford, and coals by the Sankey Canal, by which 70,000 to 80,000 tons of coals are yearly carried. Foreign
tonnage last year, from 1818 to June 24th, 1819, of Liverpool, was 867,318 tons. In 1812 only 446,788 tons.
So late as May 20, 1715, the Castle was standing, and the Parish that day in Westry agreed with a
deputation of the Corporation, that the former should give up all claims of the Parish account for the site of the
Castle, and to join the Corporation in petitioning the Government, to grant the same to build thereon a Church,
and make a Market for the Town ; with other arrangements then made between the Corporation and the Parish,
as stated in the Westry Book. Under this application, the Corporation and the Parish succeeded, and the site of the
Castle was granted to the Corporation—Wide plan, p. 158. Bounded by Preeson's Row on the west, top of Pool
Lane, Castle Ditch on the east, and Harrington Street, then or formerly called Castle Hey or Field, which was let
about the year 1700 at £5 per annum, to Mr. John Lurtin.
The Church of St. George's is built upon the two circles on the plan marked e e, whilst that marked f is
under the House of Mr. Diggles in Castle Street, which was formerly one of those to the front of Temple Bar, built
up soon after the Castle was granted ; and then the front stood about 12 yards more to the westward, Derby Square
being formed above this house, and Temple Bar, a narrow street for foot-passengers only, into the Square, or
Market, called Derby Square.”
I find so early as 1721, the Corporation Treasurer, Henry Trafford, in his cash account with that body, gives
credit for £63 : 2:43 for rents of houses then built in Derby then (New) Square and Market, the surface or ground
of which was within a foot or two of the level with what is now the Churchyard. In 1725 and 1726, the Cor-
poration sold some of these houses, for I find the rents dropped to £11 or thereabouts; and in two years the fines
for Leasing was £460 : 19:3, and in 1729 lands were fined for, on the site of the Castle ; the amount that year
of fines was £214 : 19 : 3.
Thus, then, the west side of Derby Square was built from 1715 to 1720, extending down to Preeson's Row,
to which you descended by a long flight of steps called Kennion's Steps. The east side extended back to Castle
Ditch, projecting forward towards the watch-house, adjoining the Church, forming a narrow passage for foot-pas-
sengers only, called Temple Bar; whilst the whole area before Temple Bar, extending down to the top of Pool Lane,
and lineable with the north side of Cable Street and Redcross Street, along Preeson's Row,” was wholly built upon
or covered with houses. In 1754, I remember all those houses in front of the Church standing, and afterwards they
were taken down to make a larger Market, on account of the town having so much increased from 1721, when it
contained 10,673 inhabitants, to 1756, when it amounted to 24,000 or thereabouts. In 1756 the writer of this
heard the war proclaimed from the Churchyard of St. George's by sound of trumpet, etc., as was customary in those
days. Soon after, the whole area was cleared, except one house belonging to one Stagg, an attorney, to the front of
Preeson's Row, and a lofty Pillory and Stocks, then standing near ; the area around was called Stocks Market. This,
in 1763, during the mayoralty of Geo. Campbell, Esq., was begun to be covered with mean-looking shops like pig-
cotes, but were soon removed by the next mayor, John Tarleton, Esq., when they were all taken down, and the
arcade and two octagon buildings erected, one for a watch-house and lock-up night prison, and the other for the Clerk
of the Market, and an engine-house behind (a convenient situation). To this alteration Mr. Tarleton added a terrace-
cistern, in the centre of the area, supplied from the top of the Church with rain-water (marked in Castle Plan C);
and over this a pedestal, in which a pump was contrived, with a simple and plain square pyramidical obelisk, surmounted
with lamps ; and on three sides of this square were erected a new set of Fish-stones, which were removed first to
the bottom of Moore Street and James Street, and more latterly to their present situation, top of the said streets.
The most celebrated architects of Rome studied three points—use, convenience, and beauty; it is hoped the
Corporation, when they finish the Church wall on the west end, will consult the two first principles, and let the wall,
or a portion of the wall, recede to the face of the octagon building, instead of its being as it was before, a hiding-
corner for all manner of filth for the last twenty years; and, above all, an interruption to a fine and beautiful view
that would appear from the top of James Street, looking to Pool Lane, that must be a treat to every lover of
picturesque beauty: St. George's Church in the foreground, with the Market-house, contrasted with the varied,
diminishing, and vanishing line down Pool Lane, must be a street-view of great beauty, contrasting greatly with the
formal view up Castle Street from the Church.”
The Market, below the Church, is now (April 1820) pretty nearly covered with cast-iron standings, occupied
principally by butchers; and thus it now stands. The whole of Temple Bar having been (under the improvement
act) removed twelve yards back, in a line with the east side of Castle Street, is a great improvement ; and a fine
view thereby obtained in looking from the Exchange towards Pool Lane, with a distant prospect of the spire of St.
Thomas'.
* Perhaps Liverpool and Wallasey jointly. * From a report printed by R. Owen, Liverpool. * See Perry's Map.
* Preeson's Row, so called from Alderman Preeson, who resided in a house there after the Castle was demolished; on a stone was
this inscription—“God’s providence hath been mine inheritance.” Anno 1660, which is now fixed up in a new building, raised on the
foundation of the old one; and in Moore Street, one of a similar date was thus inscribed—“Door, stand thou open to none but an Honest
lman.” This house had also the arms of Fayreclough carved over the door, impaling Hyde : built about 1665. At Knowsley Hall
there was an inscription on one of the outer doors—“Bring good news and knock boldly”—of similar date.
* During the time and progress of the improvements, from 1786 to 1804, I caused several Picturesque Drawings to be made up Castle
Street and down Castle Street, from and to the Exchange, down Dale Street, up High Street, from Clarke's Bank, and the east side of
High Street; another with the curious groupe of old houses, extending from Tythebarn Street to Dale Street, and north front of the
Town Hall, before the Exchange Buildings were in contemplation.—Editor.

THE OLD CUSTOM-HOUSE, LIVERPOOL.
I never view the drawing of the Old Custom-House and Quay but with emotions of pleasure, and a mixture of
public pride, in contemplating the gradual rise of my native town, from a poor fishing hamlet to its present high
eminence in trade and commerce—a proof of the persevering industry of its inhabitants.
Roger de Poictou, the Lord of all this part of south Lancashire, built the Castle' (seen in the distance). He
was a worthy man and highly spoken of ; a friend of the Molyneuxes, who came with him from Normandy.” He
was then made Castilian, and the Molyneux family since that time have been repeatedly called to the government,
and whose residence was fixed by their patron at Sephton, Thornton, and Kuerden; and under all the vicissitudes of
the Norman families, the Mulas, Mulles, or Molyneuxes, have never forfeited their estate, having occupied it in a
direct line to the present day. [The present descendant, the Earl of Sefton, now lives in the neighbourhood in
honourable style..] By their courage and prowess they had afterwards other large and valuable grants, and high and
honourable distinction, and seated themselves at Sephton as Constables of Liverpool Castle, Keepers of the King's
Parks at Croxteth and Toxteth, Rangers of the Forest of West Derby, Lords of the Wapentake, and Lords of the
Manor of Liverpool, of which they had a grant of all the Rents under the King, as also the Ferry over the River;
Lords of all the Wastes (the tenure of which, after Charles the First's sale to Ditchfield, was freehold).” In 1629,
the privileges of all the town were in their hands, such as tolls, markets, fairs, anchorage, lastage-pontage, &c. &c.
Many other lands came into the possession of this family, by the alliances of their descendants.”
And all this occurred—“Ere sails were spread new oceans to explore,” as Dryden says;
For here at LEVERPOOL, “A band of fishers chose their humble seat ; “They brav'd the billows for precarious food:
“Contented labour blest their far retreat : “Their straggling huts were rang'd along the shore,
“Inur'd to hardship, patient, bold, and rude, “Their nets and little boats their only store.”—Anon.
The continual influx of passengers to and from Ireland, in King John's time and his father's, greatly increased
this poor fishing town. After Roger, followed the fate of the King's son Robert, his lands escheated to the crown,
and the descent may be traced.” Henry I, granted its first Charter,” which Henry II. and John confirmed, and gave
them a Seal; and, as Earl of Lancaster, made many grants to the neighbouring gentlemen, for he was often here
during the Conquest of Ireland, of which Kingdom he was Lord. In 1272, the town was found to contain 168
burgages, i.e. houses and cottages, which had decreased to 138 in 1650, when it was called the poor decayed town of
Liverpool, or Leverpole, or poole.
I believe due praise ought to be given to one person, named Eckerston, Cockerson, Sekerston, or Sherton; this
gentleman was Mayor in 1551 ; he was again Mayor in 1560, and living in 1574, when he was one of the only
sic residents in Liverpool that paid towards the defence of the Kingdom ; which six were William Moore, Esq., John
Cross, Gent, Ralph Sekerston (not Cockerson), Richard Howard, Robert Corbet, and Richard Mosse; the four latter
were charged alike, as being considered of equal ability."
This Mr. Sekerston was a man of strong mind and abilities, if we may judge by what is recorded of him, for
he was chosen a Member of Parliament for this borough, and allowed 2s, a day for his service ; it was he who
advised, when the town was at its lowest ebb, anno 1566, to petition Queen Elizabeth to remit the taxes and sub-
sidies which were then levied, which she did. It was said he could speak in Parliament without the aid of a
Counsellor. His neighbour, John Cross of Cross Hall, then at the bottom of Dale Street, was Mayor at that period
(1522), when there were 184 Freemen, as appears by a list of the same in the books kept by the Mayor, with the
consent of the Commonalty. Other Freemen were then admitted ; and Common Halls held, and had been so held
since 1551, and laws made for the good government and improvement of the town. In 1558, sixteen persons were
chosen as a Privy Council, to examine all accounts and orders belonging to the town; they were elected in the

Common Hall, as well as twelve persons to regulate the proceedings in the Common Hall, and also twelve others to
superintend the repairs of the highways; all which appointments were made on St. Luke's day, or when Common
Halls were held. In 1559, twenty-four persons were first chosen as a Common Council, to attend to all matters
and things connected with the town.—(Old book, folio 39.)
In 1558, a letter was sent to Her Majesty, stating that there were then the following vessels belonging to the
town—viz. one of one hundred tons, one of fifty, and eleven under thirty tons down to six tons, which we find the
whole tonnage in 1565, when the trade was decayed." From this time, with the Queen's favour, we may date the
rise of the town of Liverpool.
In 1558 a plague raged in the town ; the burial-place was in the neighbourhood of Sawney, Pope Street.
In 1560 the haven was destroyed by a storm. In 1561 the new haven was ordered to be built.
In 1565 a storm destroyed the church-wall, which was in a line with that seen in the Print, and ran northerly
along the church passage ; beyond which, in the street, was a stone shed for the fishermen's horses from the Moels;
the chapel at that time had no steeple or gallery, and only two aisles.
Lord Thomas Stanley was elected Mayor, 18th October 1568, and Thomas More, Deputy-Mayor; when it was
decreed that no foreigner could be made a Freeman under four pounds.-This ends the FIRST Book now remaining ;
but by an entry in the next, it appears that it was the SECOND,-folio 10.
In 1576 William Dorler was admitted a Freeman of this poor decayed deserted town, on condition that he would
take a house in the town, and become a resident. He paid the Town-Clerk 6d., and the Sergeant-at-Mace 4d.
In 1576 the Mayor ordered every inhabitant to make a bonfire before his house, upon the Queen's entering the
19th year of her reign ; the houses were then thinly scattered.
In 1582 Mr. Antyre was chosen representative for the town ; and, in the same year, Mr. Mayor's Freemen were
admitted gratis.
In 1584 the Twelve ordered that a quart of ale should be sold for one penny.
In the Harleian MSS. No. 2129, Visitation of Church in Liverpool, 1590, the following notes were made –
In one window was the King's Arms, Henry VIII. quarterly, France and England; and supporters, a Yellow Lion
and Red Dragon. In another window, Plantagenet gules, three Lions passant or, with a label of three points argent.
In a third window, the Arms of the MOREs, described in folio 153, complimenting the Lady. In the fourth
window, Molyneux and quarterings—viz. Molyneux, Garnet, Villars, Riston ; Elliot, Twenge, Holland, Skerton;
Haddock, Dutton, Thornton, Minshall ; and four others. In the fifth window, Cross's Crest de Leverpoole, a Crane
with a Cross argent in his beak, the Crane's beak and legs gules. In the sixth window, the Earl of Derby, quarterly,
—viz, first quarter, Stanley, Lathom, Warren ; then follows Mann, &c. &c.—vide the History of Secombe. In the
seventh window, Henry Norris de Speke, vide fol. 197. In the eighth window, Tarbocke de Torbock, vide fol. 229.
And, on the ninth window, Gerrard of Ince, quartering Brin, Windle, Stanley, Chittleton, Clifton, Prears, Weeton,
Buckley, &c. &c. 24 quarters in all ; vide fol. 237. .
In the Chapel of St. Nicholas was buried Captain George Acres, who had been in the wars in Ireland, son of
Rober Acres, of Acres Hall, in Lancashire. Ulster, King of Arms in Ireland, granted him Arms, 16th March 1576 ;
which grant, or a copy, may be seen in the Harleian Collection, 1507, No. 428, and is as follows:—quarterly gules,
three Escollop Shells, two and one argent ; secondly, or and azure, some de lis counter-changed, and in the midst
of the design an Irish Hermes' head, the shoulders of it wreathed ; the third the same as the second ; and the fourth
quarter the same as the first.
1615, March 26th–167 tons of wine having been imported at one time by Daniel Booth, he was at a Council
admitted a Freeman, and paid Customs £13: 6:8.
1617, January 23d—at a Council, John Boyes, a Yorkshireman, allowed to sell 14 tons of iron in the town,
upon payment of 50s. 1618, 12th January—Henry de Vere, Earl of Oxford, sworn a free Burgess.
1634, February 20—it appears the sentiments of the inhabitants differed with respect to the Ship Money and
the propriety of building a Ship of 400 tons burthen for His Majesty's use, in obedience to his writ ; and at a
meeting of the Mayor, Aldermen, Bailiffs, and most part of the inhabitants, it was ordered, that if the officers of the
town were prosecuted for levying a competent sum for the purpose, they should be defended at the cost of the town.
In 1551, the rental of the town, by the Corporation records (now existing, folio 14, in the oldest book), was
£2:10:9.—Sekerston was Mayor.
The next remarkable occurrence we meet with, is the increase of the revenue of the town, the beneficial effects
of order and industry; for we find, that although the rent of the town was mortgaged in 1567, to raise £20, yet in
1625, the Corporation was in possession of £170 : 15:2 in cash. It is not known what property they had then on
lease from Lord Molyneux, nor any anchorage, &c. A Council was called, 10th January 1625, to dispose of this
large sum, when it was ordered, “That £150 be kept in a chest with three keys (no doubt as many locks), one
whereof to be kept by the Mayor or his deputy, one by the ancient Alderman, and the third by the Bailiff for the
time being, to be at the disposal of the Common Council ; the remaining £20 : 15: 2 was to remain in the hands of
the Bailiff.” And here let it be noted, that the Bailiffs were, for upwards of 80 years afterwards, the only Treasurers
employed.
Alderman Moorcroft, who owned the old Custom-House, and built the one now standing (1823), was the first
Treasurer, chosen in 1716, at a salary of £50 per annum. He resigned in 1720, when Peter Hall was appointed
and afterwards assisted by Mr. Henry Trafford, who published his Cash Accounts from 1720 to 1730. The expen-
diture of the Corporation in 1721 was £1232:11: 63; in 1729 the expenditure was increased to £1380: 14:63,
in which year, as in the year before, we find credit given for 10s, for liberty to trade : and the money received for
land sold in Derby Square (the site of the Castle) was £214:19: 3; Town's Duty, £768: 9:10%; Ingates and
Outgates, £47; Leasehold Rents and Arrears, £244: 10: 5%.
In the year 1814, Thomas Leyland, Esq.,” published the Cash Account of the Corporation, when their income
was £30,680 : 9:7% ; in 1815, it was £63,379 : 19:4, and has since much increased. The population of the town,
in 1700, when it became a parish, amounted to only 57.14 ; but by the census of 1821, we find the number of
inhabitants to be 118,972, exclusive of Toxteth Park, Everton, &c. &c., which amount to about 22,515 more, all
which were part of the ancient parish of Walton. The rental of Liverpool in 1715 was valued at £584,687. The
Dock Dues in 1724 amounted to £810 : 11 : 6, and in the year ending June 25th, 1823, they were increased to
fl 15,783 : 1 : 6.
Thus has the Port of Liverpool risen from a state of insignificance, to become the second commercial town in
the kingdom ; and it may even be considered the first in many branches of commerce, particularly in the article of
Cotton. At the present period (1823) every description of buildings, from the merchant's mansion to the labourer's
cottage, continue to be erected; and the authorities of the town are making rapid improvements, in widening those
streets which most require it. Warehouses are now rearing their towering heads in every direction, and the Docks
may be reckoned the first in the kingdom for extent and convenience.

During the time of Henry VI., whilst some of the Stanley family lived at the Tower at the bottom
of Water Street, then the north-west corner of the town, the Molyneux occupied the Constableship of the
Castle of Liverpool, which stood on the south side, and dwelt at Croxteth, near Derby Chapel. A differ-
ence arose between the two families, the following account of which is given in Dodsworth's MSS., vol.

“of Lancaster, Esq. on the other part, charging the said Sherif to take power of the said county, and

“ and we gede to Lyerpull on Wednesday next after, and there we found the said Thomas of Stanley in
“his father's house, and with a multitude of people in the town to the number of two thousand men and
“more ; and we asket him the cause of that assemble of King's people, and he was informed that the
“ said Sir Richard of Molineux will come hither with great congregations, riots, and great multitude
“of people, to slea and beat the said Thomas, his men and his servants, the which he would withstand if he
“might. And he the said Thomas said that he would find sufficient surety of the peace for him and all his,
“so the said Richard would find surety in the same form ; and even that the said Thomas agreet him
“to be surety to the said Sheriff, and to the commandment of the said Justices of the peace, and to go to

buried at Burscough. He married Joan, daughter of Sir Robert Goushell, and by her had four sons—viz.,
1. Sir Thomas Stanley, who was created by Henry VI. Baron Stanley, and by Henry VII. Earl of
Derby. His first wife was Eleanor Nevil, daughter of the Earl of Salisbury; his second, Eleanor, Countess
of Richmond, King Henry VII.'s mother—2. William, stiled of Holt, beheaded by Henry VII. 1494.—
3. John, who married the daughter of Sir Thomas Weaver, and ancestor of the Stanleys of Alderley'—
4—James Stanley, Archdeacon of Carlisle.
Sir John Stanley, who was the husband of Isabella de Latham, was considered a very accomplished
gentleman. He was a younger brother, as we have shewn, and inherited for his patrimony an old family
seat called Newton, in the hundred of Macclesfield. He applied himself to arms, and in order to improve
himself in the art of war, he travelled over the greater part of Europe. According to Secombe, he visited
Constantinople, and, returning through France, joined the court of Edward, then held in the city of
Winchester, where he was challenged by, and entered into single combat with, a famous French champion,
in a tournament under the walls of that city, and gained the victory, in the presence of the king and a
numerous crowd of spectators. This public and gallant action attracted the favourable attention of the
king, who honoured him with knighthood, as the reward of his bravery:-Amongst the ladies present was
the heiress of Latham ; young, beautiful, and rich. Sir John declared himself her champion and admirer,
and had the good fortune to gain her affections and to marry her, though her father was at first averse
to the union.
Sir Robert de Latham founded the abbey of Burscough, 1124, died 1174; Sir Thomas, 1329, father
of Latham of Parbold; Sir Thomas, father of Isabella, died 1384–afterwards Stanley; held Lathom, etc.”
In Lord Herbert's History of King Henry VIII., page 272, amongst the articles of impeachment
preferred against Cardinal Wolsey, 1529 (article 38), it is stated, “The Lord Cardinal did call before him
* Sir John Stanley Knt. who had taken a farm by covent seale of the abbot and convent of Chester, to
“wit of the tythes of Prestbury parish, in Cheshire, and committed the said Sir John to the Fleet Prison,
“till such time as he compelled him to return his covent seal to one Legh of Adlington, who married one
* Larke's daughter; which woman the Cardinal kept, and had by her two children; whereof Sir John
“took so much displeasure in his heart, that he made himself a monk in Westminster, and there died.”
In the time of Edward I, the people were much distressed, in passing from the city of Chester to
Liverpool by the way of Birkenhead Priory, for want of a house of refreshment: and the priory being in
consequence burthened with charges beyond its resources, Edw. I. by his letters patent, dated 20th
February 1282, empowered the said priors to build houses upon their land sufficient to relieve all travellers,
and to hold the houses so built to them and their successors for ever. King Edward II., 1310, ratified
this grant, and bestowed the right of passage over this arm of the sea upon the said priory.”

$aint Nirjalas, or the GPIb (Tijurch."
The exterior of the old chapel St. Nicholas, as it formerly stood, is presumed to have been built soon
after the Conquest. The walls were taken down and the roof removed in the year 1774, when they were
rebuilt under the direction of Joseph Brooks, Esq. It formerly had an open ceiled roof, the joists of which
were covered with deal boards, upon which was painted a representation of the firmament. The interior,
however, was not then disturbed, save the ancient massive Gothic pillars and arches, which were substituted
by the present lighter pillars. A spire was added to the old tower of this church in 1746; but it fell
down 11th February, 1810. A beautiful Gothic tower and spire have since been erected by Thomas
Harrison, Esq., architect.” Compelled to contract its height from the circumstance of twelve heavy bells
being erected in the tower, the lanthorn is not so lofty as could have been wished ; but the structure unites
the essentials of strength, use, and beauty, and is highly worthy of its distinguished architect. In the east
window, where there was no interruption to the display of Gothic beauty, we regret to find a miserable
attempt by a different artist. How far the painted glass may, in the opinion of some, cover the defects of
the architectural works, we know not, but it will probably help. The interior of the church has also been
re-pewed, and new galleries have been built.
In this church there are some few good monuments; amongst which we may mention one of Mrs.
Clayton. It is executed in statuary marble; the composition is a female figure seated, with an urn ; ex-
pressive of grief; and the inscription records what is stated in the following pedigree. This monument
was erected at the expense of her daughter, Sarah Clayton. The inscription thus concludes:—
“She died, after a life well spent in her duty to God and the care of her family
in the 78th year of her age, 1745.” º
There is also a monument erected to her husband, bearing the following inscription —
To the Memory of
WILLIAM CLAYTON, of FULLwooD, IN THE COUNTY PALATINE OF LANCASTER, ESQ.,
Who being a great encourager of trade,
And having good judgment in it,
Represented this Borough in six distinct Parliaments.
He died the 8th July, 1715.
Erected by Elizabeth his relict, daughter of George Leigh, of Oughterington,
in the County Palatine of Chester, Gent.
This Wm. Clayton's executors paid to the trustees of the Blue-coat Hospital the sum of £1000. The
Clevelands, whose monuments are in the Old Church, bequeathed to the same charity premises which sold
in 1802 for £1706: 13:9; chargeable with an annuity of £5 a-year for ever to their poorest relation.
The estates of the Clevelands have merged by marriage into the family of Price, of Bryn-y-Pys, who are
owners of Birkenhead Priory, upon the shore opposite Liverpool. Cleveland Square derives its name from .
this family: it was for some time called Price's Square.

Was built at the beginning of the eighteenth century, by a rate upon the inhabitants, aided by some volun-
tary gifts of oak timber from the neighbouring gentlemen. The interior is richly decorated with carving
in the style of the sixteenth century. Architecture being then but little understood in Liverpool, four
different patterns of door cases, the number wanted, were procured from London, and adopted; so that
each door is of a different style. The Corporation are the patrons of the parish of Liverpool, and by the
act obtained in 1699, will eventually be of all the churches in the township. Previously to that act, the
Right Hon. Carill Lord Viscount Molyneux was the patron of Walton Parish ; to the Rector of which
Liverpool pays 29s. 3d. annually, and to the vicar 2s. 3}d., in lieu of all claims for Synods, &c. The two first
Rectors of Liverpool had been Curates under Walton, and were appointed, and the appointment was con-
firmed by act of Parliament 1699.”

On the south side of the chancel of this church is a very costly monument erected to the memory of
Foster Cunliffe, Esq., a great and prosperous merchant, who, in the early days of Liverpool commerce, pro-
secuted with the greatest credit a very extensive trade to America, the West Indies, and various other
parts of the globe. He employed no less than sixteen vessels, the adventures of which were successful to
himself, and advantageous to the town. Of this monument, the pyramid is of dove marble, and the
medallion of Foster Cunliffe with the other ornaments, of statuary marble : on each side of a vase, Sup-
posed to contain his heart, is the figure of an orphan lamenting the loss of its benefactor, an allusion which is
extremely appropriate, for Mr. Cunliffe was a great patron of the Blue-coat Hospital, to which he gave £1000.

Was established in 1709. The first school was built in 1708, and was that lately pulled down to make
room for the recent enlargement, and some years ago used as a free-school. The master of this free school
was entitled to a salary from the Chantrey Rents of the Duchy of Lancaster, which were paid through the
Corporation of Liverpool. We lament, however, to observe, that there has been neither a free-school nor
schoolmaster since the death of the late Mr. John Baines.
The first meeting after this old school was built took place January 13, 1709, and was attended by
John Earle, Esq., Mayor, the Rev. Robert Styth and William Atherton, the first rectors of Liverpool,
William Clayton, Thomas Willis, Jasper Maudit, Esquires, John Seacombe, James Benn, John Peaceland,
William Hurst, William Webster, Silvester Moorcroft, Aldermen; and many others. -
The Rev. Robert Styth was chosen first Treasurer; the Mayor of Liverpool and the two Rectors for
the time being, Sir Thomas Johnson, knt.; then M.P. for the Borough, Richard Norris, Esq., also M.P. for the
Borough, William Clayton, Esq., afterwards M.P. Thomas Willis, Jasper Maudit, John Clievland, Esquires,
were chosen Trustees of the said Blue-coat Hospital. -
In the year 1714 Mr. Bryan Blundell, merchant, was chosen the second treasurer, in the room of the
Rev. Robert Styth ; and the edifice, of which the following is a drawing, was soon afterwards erected.
The treasurership was held by the Blundell family until 1739; when, at the rotation of Foster Cun-
liffe, John Godwin, John Atherton, and John Hardman, Esquires, the Court of Chancery of his Majesty's
Duchy of Lancaster, decreed—Geo. Cholmondley, Earl of Cholmondley, being Chancellor, and —Ashurst,
Vice-Chancellor, that there should be fifty trustees chosen and appointed as vacancies shall occur. Mr.
Blundell was again chosen treasurer:' but in 1796 (when the Blundells had held the office for eighty-two
years) Nicholas Ashton, Esq. of Liverpool was appointed treasurer. The situation has since become one of
annual election.
In the year 1803 it was thought expedient again to increase the number of trustees: a new decree
was therefore applied for and obtained, and fifty additional trustees were appointed, making the total num-
ber one hundred.
Though a more liberal and enlightened plan of education has of late years been adopted in this useful
institution, we have to lament that, among its improvements, we are not yet able to observe the introduction
of DRAWING ; which, when considered in its application to the useful arts, is so essentially important to
the class of youth who are instructed at seminaries like the Blue-coat Hospital, that we cannot forbear once
more pressing it upon public attention. That is assuredly the wisest system of education, which affords
the objects of its care the most assistance in the formation of the mind for the performance of what may
ultimately be their particular pursuit or employment of life; and as the generality of those who are trained
at the Blue-coat Hospital, and other similar schools, are destined to learn some branch of the mechanic arts,
it surely does not require much argument to show, that it is due to the interest of the individual and to
the taste of the nation, that where a proper disposition is evinced, the youth should have the benefit of
being taught the art of Drawing—an art which, in almost all our trades, is in perpetual exercise. The
more skilful the workman the more ample his remuneration—the better understanding he shows of his art,
the greater credit he bestows upon the public taste. In fine, we have only to diffuse more widely among
our workmen an elementary knowledge of design, to remove from our country the too general objection of
inferiority of work. Nothing can be more evident than the excellence which the French artisans have as-
sumed, in consequence of the advantageous system of education, which, in the particular point under con-
sideration, has been encouraged in France. If we are desirous of effectually opposing continental competi-
tion in all those branches of art and manufacture which depend upon correctness of taste, we must take
care that our national schools afford to our mechanics an early initiation in the rudiments of Drawing. The
manual skill of English workmen has never been a subject of complaint—taste is the desideratum under
which they but too commonly labour—and taste cannot be expected to be imparted, unless it be made with
our public schools for the education of the youthful poor, a more prominent article of instruction.”
In the Blue-coat Hospital Dr. Bell's system, which was introduced in the year 1813, is practised with
the greatest success under the superintendence of Mr. Fallows.

Arms of Cumliffe, of Cunliffe, The family of Cunliffe has been long resident in Lancashire ; *#º. of
Hollings dé Whycollar.
and, as will be shown by the following narrative, it enjoys many re-
spectable alliances: sharing, however, the fate of many other families,
it did not escape the unhappy consequences, of the wars of the houses
of York and Lancaster. So long ago as 2d Edward I. anno 1202,

1 This mode of drawing is of modern invention, and is practised on the Continent with great success. We have lately seen
specimens of finished portraits, which are superior to any performances in wood, and almost equal to any on copper. To those of the
fair sex, amateurs of the art, who wish to multiply their sketches without the disagreeable operation of etching, we warmly recom-
mend Lithographic printing, so called from the particular stone which is used in the process.


#igtorg amb Antiquities of 3Lancašijire. 169
The name of Cunliffe has been variously spelled: there are vouchers as far back as the time of Henry
VIII. and one of Edward I. which shew that it has been written—l De Conlive, 2 Cunclyfe, 3 Condlif,
4 Condlyfe, 5 Cundliffe, 6 Cunlyfe, 7 Conlyfe, and 8 Cunliffe. The present way of spelling was not settled
till about James I.'s time. The name is of Saxon original, and is compounded of Cum or Con," to give or
grant, and life. There is a tradition in the family, that a Saxon prince or leader granted to one of their
ancestors a certain portion of land with this appellation:—“I cun you this land to life or support yourself
upon.” From which circumstance the land was called Cun-life; and as the family lived upon it from that
time, the name became Cunliffe. This land so granted lies in the hundred and parish of Blackburne, in the
townships of Billington, Rushton, and Harwood. On the domain stood an old hall house, near Billington,
called Cunliffe House, between Hollings and Whalley : the high land above it is called Cunliffe Moor, or
Cunliffe Edge. In Saxon times these partitions of lands were not made in writing (the art of writing
being little known); it is not likely therefore that there should be any records of the family; or if any
such had existed, it cannot be wondered at, if in such troublesome times, when so many of the proprietors
had been plundered, that not any should remain. It is for this reason that we can trace no direct and
clear account of the family prior to Henry VII. ; though the rolls of the castle of Clitheroe sufficiently
prove that the family of Cunliffe lived always at Cunliffe House, and the largeness of the quit rents shew
that they possessed large property. The family suffered much from the Danes in old time, when they landed
at Rib-Chester, and laid everything waste with fire and sword; few Saxon families indeed escaped, save
Townleys and Sherbournes, who fled to the mountains; the Cunliffes fled in the direction of Rossendale, and
suffered most severely from lying nearest the landing-place of the Danes.
They were afterwards harassed by the Normans, who, when they had got possession, oppressed the
Saxon landholders by their confiscations and plunderings. But what completed the ruin of the Cuncliffe
estates was the long and bloody wars of York and Lancaster, when this family was plundered by both
parties. After Henry VII. came, when people looked for peaceful times, the Cuncliffes were again distressed
by the * * * * * * * (then great favourites with the king), who heavily fined all suspected of favouring the
Yorkists. These disasters so reduced the family that they were obliged to mortgage the estate to one
Walmesley, a lawyer, and not being redeemed, it was lost to the family, and has ever since remained with
the heirs of Walmesley. The son of the person who mortgaged this estate attempted to redeem it, but
failed ; his son was a wealthier man, and would have succeeded, but died during the contest ;
his son, however, prosecuted the suit, but the Walmesleys were by that time become so powerful
that he gave up the attempt. Before this disaster, the family were in possession of two estates—Cunliffe,
which they had held from time immemorial, and Hollings, a few miles off, which came by marriage. Being
thus despoiled of the first, they settled at Hollings. From this period the pedigree is clearly and regularly
brought down; namely, from Robert Cuncliffe, of Hollings, the great grandson of him who mortgaged and
lost Cunliffe.—The family enjoyed this estate till the time of Charles I., when, their old misfortune attending
them, they were plundered by the Cromwell party—the estate sequestered, and an officer placed in the
house.” In consequence, Hollings was obliged to be sold, and the family removed to Whycollar Hall, near
Colne, an estate which had come by a marriage with the Hartleys of Whycollar, in the fourth generation
from Robert above named, and where they had a good house."
Whycollar Hall was built between 1550 and 1560; it is of stone, and has a very ancient and curious
interior. It lies nearly three miles east of Colne. Hollings recently belonged to the late Lord Petre, but it
is now, as we are informed, the property of Jonathan Peel, Esq. of Accrington House, near which it is situated.
John Cunliffe, of this family, was made by James I. by a royal decree, steward of the four forests of
Accrington, Pendle, Trawden, and Rossendale.
The pedigree of the Cunliffes º is traced very accurately as high ** Hindle.

though his name and the two next heirs do not appear. Robert, then
being his great grandson, is called of Hollings, because, being unable
to contend with the Walmesleys, he gave up all hopes of getting back
the estate of Cunliffe. His son Henry married a daughter of Wood

approving their conduct, he became a great opposer of Oliver Cromwell, which occasioned the loss of Hollings. King Chas. II. gave
him his gracious pardon for all treasons and misprison of treason under the great seal. [Both father and son were at one time great
favourites of General Lambert, of Cawton Hall, Craven.] This deed, as well as that of the sequestration, is in the possession of Henry
Owen Cunliffe, Esq. of Whycollar, whose papers furnished most of the preceding information.

#istory and antiquities of Lancashire. 171
13ttl #}oust, near farmūorth–1819.
Now occupied by Mr. Samuel Woolrich.
WILLIAM SMYTH, Bishop of Lincoln, was born at Peel House, in the Chapelry of Farnworth, Parish of Prescot,
and founded a Grammar School there; and also, in conjunction with SIR RICHARD SUTTON, of Sutton,
near Macclesfield, founded about 1509 a perpetual College, in the University of Oxford, for “Scholars
to study Philosophy and sacred Theology, commonly called, the King's Haule and Colledge of Brasen-
nose in Oxford, to the praise and honour of Almighty God; for the furtherance of divine worship, for
the advancement of the Holy Church, and for the support and exaltation of the Christian faith. After
this exordium they proceed to ordain, that their College shall consist of a Principal and twelve fellows,
all of them born within the diocese of Coventry and Lichfield; with preference to the natives of the
counties of Lancaster and Chester; and especially to the natives of the parish of Prescot in Lancashire,
and of Prestbury in Cheshire.”
“And earnestly intreat persons of piety and generosity, not only to augment the revenues of their
Fellows, but likewise to add to the number ; provided, nevertheless, that their statutes and every part
of them remain safe and unhurt.” Several have since been added by Ogle and other natives of Pres-
cot Parish.
“The additional Fellowships, if any should be endowed, were meant to be engrafted on the ori-
ginal stock. The particular place of a Candidate's birth and other extrinsic circumstances, antecedent
to election, are properly regarded as indifferent matters; wherein it is permitted, to each respective
benefactor, to indulge without restraint his own views and partialities. But by the act of election, all
and every Fellow is incorporated into one body, and becomes subject to one and the same law. One
of the senior Fellows is annually to be elected to the office of Vice Principal.”
“The admission of Students, subject to the discretion of the Principal and Vice Principal.”
“In the reign of Edward VI. it appeared, that there were seventy in Brasen-nose; and the
College was then, in point of numbers, the fourth in the University; which rank it has generally
maintained, and still holds, though several Colleges have been founded since that time.”
“The Bishop of Lincoln is Visitor of the College, and his decisions are final. On this head in-
quiry is intended to be made, if the laws have been recently changed and without appeal; unless he
proceeds so far as to depose the Principal, in which case every legal mode of defence is permitted.”
“Sir R. Sutton expunged a well-intended but vague precept respecting the qualifications of
candidates, and substituted a clause less liable to evasion; in virtue whereof, as far as is possible in
human institutions, the statutes of the College, like the laws of the land, speak one and the same lan-
guage to all; and, in every instance, it may truly be said, that the society merely pronounce the
Founders elect.”
See Rev. Mr. Churton's Lives of the Founders of Brazen-nose, folios 316, 317, 318, 321, 323, 328, 331, 207,
&c. &c.
For decisions of Parish Claims, see Mr. A. Chalmers's History of the University of Oxford, folio 23, vol. i.;
and General History of all the Colleges, Benefactors, Scholars, &c., see fol. 27, 80, 90, 119, 243.
A cursory view of the history of the College of Brazen-nose must give pleasure, on noticing how many
Lancashire Scholars, as well as Cheshire, of the more affluent fortunes, have become great Benefactors:
Bishop Smyth and many of his relatives; the Ogles of Whiston, and many others; Oldham, Bishop of
Exeter; Hulme and others of the two counties. Amongst the Scholars we find many Lancashire names
recorded—the Standishes, of Standish ; the Andertons of Lancashire; Bishop Barnes, of Bold; Charnock,
of Charnock; Dentons, Dennets, Linacres; Walter Wright, who was very early after the Founder's death
made LL.D., Archdeacon of Oxford, and Principal of Brazen-nose; the Hawardens of Appleton, one of
which was Principal of Brazen-nose, and another a Fellow, 1521: most of the last were men of the Parish
of Prescot; and we have a remnant yet living who owe their elevation to Parish Claims; one, the worthy
Pastor of Great Billing, Northampton; and another, Wright, lately Rector of that great Parish White-
chapel Church, London; also Hoskinson, Harrison, &c.; some also of the Parish of Prestbury, well known
to many in the neighbourhood.
Many more names of the worthies will be found in Fuller's History of Lancashire and Cheshire. “The
Scholarships and Exhibitions were contributed by a very numerous list of benefactors, of whom it may
be sufficient to give the names, dates, numbers, and local preferences. John Claymond, first President
of Corpus, 1536, six scholars from Frampton near Boston, in Lincolnshire, the place of his birth,
Moreton, or Stockton-on-Tees, Overton, or Havant, or Mottesfont in Hampshire, Benager near Wells,
or Monkton near Taunton, in Somersetshire, Cleve in Gloucestershire, and Oxford, or the counties in
which these places are situated; to be chosen by the President, Vice-President, and Humanity Reader
of Corpus, and to hear the Humanity and Greek Readers of that College. Humphrey Ogle, of Salford
in Oxfordshire, Archdeacon of Salop, 1543, two scholars, from Prescot in Lancashire, or Lichfield, or
the diocese of Chester. Henry Fisher, fishmonger of London, 1652, one scholar, to be elected by the




172 Greggon's 330rtfolio of fragments:
Skinners' Company from Tunbridge school. John Lord Mordaunt, 1570. Nowell, Dean of St. Paul's
1572, thirteen scholars, from the free-school of Middleton in Lancashire, or the schools of Whalley
and Burnley, or any other schools in that county." Joyce Frankland, already noticed, four scholars.
James Binks, alias Stoddard, of St. Olave Jewry, London, 1607. George Palyn, citizen and girdler
of London, 1609, from the County of Chester. Samuel Radcliffe, D.D. Principal from 1614 to 1648,
from the school of Steeple Aston, Oxfordshire, Rochdale, or Middleton, Lancashire, or any of the under
Graduates of Brasen-nose who are unpreferred. John Milward, of Haverfordwest in the county of
Pembroke, Gent. 1654, alternately from Birmingham school or that of Haverfordwest. John Cart-
wright, of Aynho, Northamptonshire, Esq. 1665, from the school of Aynho, or the parishes of Budworth
or Wrenbury in Cheshire, or Northamptonshire, or Oxfordshire. Ann Walker, 1675, from Oxfordshire.
Hugh Henly, 1675. Thomas Church, B.D. 1676, from his kindred born at Nantwich in the county
of Chester, or the county at large. Richard Reed, of Lugwardine in Herefordshire, Esq. from his
posterity, or from the school of Bosbury in Herefordshire, or the free-school of the city of Hereford.
Sarah Duchess Dowager of Somerset, 1679, and by her will 1686, from the free-schools of Manchester,
Marlborough, and Hereford, alternately.”
“Some of these Scholarships and Exhibitions were afterwards augmented in value, or increased in
numbers. In 1680, Thomas Yates, D.D. Principal, augmented Church's Scholarships, and endowed
three, to be of the lineage of his father, of Middlewich, Cheshire, or of the counties of Northampton
and Wilts. William Hulme, of the county of Lancaster, in 1691, left estates in the neighbourhood of
Manchester, to maintain as Exhibitioners four of the poorest Bachelors of Arts, to be nominated by
the Warden of Manchester and the Rectors of Bury and Prestwich for the time being. At the time of
his death these Exhibitions amounted to £15 each ; the trustees were empowered by Act of Parliament
in 1795 to grant to the Exhibitioners, who had for some years been increased to the number of ten,
and are now fifteen, such farther allowance as they should think reasonable, not being less than £60,
nor more than £110, and this latter sum has been since paid.”
“The principal LIVINGs of this College, by benefaction or purchase, are the RECTORIES of Steeple
Aston, and Great Rollright, Oxfordshire; St. Matthew's, Bethnal Green ; Christ Church, Spital Fields;
St. George in the East ; St. Ann, Limehouse ; St. Mary, Whitechapel; St. Dunstan, Stepney; St.
Mary, Stratford le Bow; and St. John's Wapping, Middlesex; Great Catworth, Huntingdonshire;
Clayton and Selham, Sussex; Dudcote and West Shefford, Berks; Cottingham, Middleton Cheney,
Great Billing, Stoke Bruerne, Old or Wold, Northamptonshire; Wotton Rivers, Wilts, alternately with
St. John's College, Cambridge; and the WICARAGE of Gillingham in Kent.”—Eatracts from Mr.
Chalmers, folio 2.44.
If the Claims of Parish Men are to be taken away upon recent rules made, and which are contrary
to the will of the Donors, then the Claims of many will be lost, as Relatives—the claims of the heirs of
Wm. Ralph Aynhoe, M.P., who nominates for the County of Northampton two scholarships; the Heirs of
many noble Founders' kin will also be robbed of their Inheritance, which at the University and other
Colleges are yet held sacred, and we trust will so continue without innovation to the end of time: shall
the inhabitants of thirty-nine Townships, a population of upwards of 40,000, and of 8000 families, by an
unfair appointment, now be deprived of their Rights, which have remained undisputed for nearly Three
Hundred Years, save only the last Twelve Years, in which only fifteen Fellows have been admitted, not one
of them, however well qualified, a parish man'ſ The number of students in College on a late election was
1576 in the whole University; and only 289 have been placed above Rev. J. H. Feilden ; and it is .
strongly represented to us his qualification is undoubted, as the examining Masters were satisfied. This
then shows the design of a party to do away the Parish Claims against the will of the Founders for ever,
by a part only of the Fellows. Forbid it justice | | | We trust there is enough of honour and integrity
left to do away such intentions which appear to exist.
The Visitor, in declaring the late Election of a Fellow void and null, after the first examination,
when there was set against a first Class-man a majority of one only, and that the Principal on appeal against
him, the Visitor wrote to J. H. Feilden to offer himself again, saying that he should be examined separately
and without competitors; however it appeared, and to many it was evident from the tenor of the Bishop's
letter that they should have elected him, yet the same party have rejected him, and which election the
Visitor has confirmed under the new order of things. Under all these circumstances now they have again
rejected him, and the Visitor has dismissed the second appeal as unfounded. But we cannot dismiss this
business without noticing the alteration that has been gradually taking place ; we refer to the words of the
Principal, issued the 18th October, 1819: “A Fellowship, on the original foundation of the College, is
“ vacant by the resignation of the Rev. Thomas Ashley, B.D., and will very soon be filled up.”
“The Visitor having been pleased recently to direct that the same order of examination shall be
“ observed which was presented in 1789, natives of Prescot and Prestbury, if any such should offer them-
“selves, will in the first instance be examined.” Thus then the scholars of the old foundation are to be
examined by recent laws and orders, and the statutes and will of the Founders, under such recent orders,
are made null and void. By whom these orders were made, by whom presented, we have yet to learn : so
far as they have been acted upon they have completely done away the intention of the Founders, and make
a parish man's claim of no avail whatever !!!
We remember the late worthy Principal Dr. Barker, who thought and acted as his predecessors
had done before him time immemorial since the foundation ; and to broach a different doctrine in his time,
would have been considered as sacrilege to the worthy Founders of Brazen-nose long dead.
Since their death, in addition to extensive foundations for the maintenance of Fellows and Scholars,
Lectureships have been founded in Philosophy and Humanity. See Nichols's History of Leicestershire, vol.
iv. fol 607.-Gent. Magazine, Nov. 1819, fol. 429, &c. &c.
* “This excellent man founded at one and the same time a free-school at Middleton, and thirteen Scholarships in this College;
“ and as these benefactions were both of them established by royal patent (her Majesty also, of her free bounty encouraging and assist-
“ing him), he chose that the school should be called Queen Elizabeth's school, and the Scholars Queen Elizabeth's Scholars.”—Churton's
Life of Nowell, p. 199.

PRESCOT is a town of moderate extent, situated about eight miles to the eastward of Liverpool. It
stands on very elevated ground, and forms a commanding and interesting object to the surrounding
country. In the vicinity is Knowesley Hall, the seat of the Right Hon. the Earl of Derby.
On the death of William de Dacre, Baron Dacre, his first son Ranulph Dacre (who
married Margaret, only daughter and sole heiress of Thomas de Multon, Baron of Gilles-
land, by which marriage the Dacres were much enriched) had livery of his lands, and in
right of his wife, as Baron Dacre of Gillesland, was summoned to Parliament in 1332.
He died in 1339, leaving three sons, William his heir, Ralph, and Hugh, who succeeded
each other as Barons. On his brother William's death without issue, 35th Edward III.
1361, Ralph, who was at that time Rector of Prescot, had a grant from Edward of
“Prescot maner' mercat' et feria;” and doing his homage had livery of his lands, and
was summoned to Parliament from 36th to 47th of Edward III. He died in 1735,
leaving Hugh, his next brother and heir, to succeed him ; who was also summoned to
Parliament, from the 50th of Edw. III. to the 7th of Richard II.” inclusive ; in which
year he departed this life, leaving by Ela his wife, daughter of Alexander Lord Maxwell,
his son and successor William, at that time twenty-six years of age ; who thereupon
had livery of his inheritance, his homage being respited, because he was in the king's
service in Scotland. He was summoned to Parliament from the 7th of Richard II. to Arms described folio 111.
the 22d, when he died, leaving Thomas his son and heir, twelve years old, by Joan his wife, daughter of
James Earl Douglas. This Thomas, the 10th of Henry IV, making proof of his age, had livery of his
lands, and also summons to Parliament from the 14th of Henry IV, to the 33d of Henry VI, inclusive.
By Philippa his wife, daughter to Ralph Earl of Westmoreland, he had issue Thomas, his eldest son, who
died before him, Ranulph and Humphrey; and dying the 15th of January, the 36th of Henry VI.,
Ranulph his said second son, then twenty-six years of age, was found to be his next heir-male. Adhering
to King Henry against the House of York, Ranulph was summoned to Parliament the 38th of Henry
VI. ; but the scene soon changing, he was slain at the battle of Towton (as well as Ranulph the third
son of Thomas de Dacre), and was, by act of Parliament, begun at Westminster, 4th November, 1st
Edward IV., attainted and all his possessions forfeited to the crown."
It may be fairly concluded that, after Ranulph Dacre became Baron Dacre, the king granted the
lands of Whiston, Prescote, and West Derby, to other hands;" for in the Inquisit. post mort. of Ranulph no
such lands appear" as his brother William had held and died possessed of." On the attainder of this family
the title was granted to the king's favourite, Sir Richard Fienes, of the Lord Wiscount Say and Sele's
family.” This Sir Richard Fienes, now Lord Dacre, was Constable of the Tower of London. He married

of Lancaster, and had many other possessions in the county.—Wide 57, 58, 59, 65.
The advowson of the church of Prescot was given to the Provost and Fellows of King's College,
Cambridge, by Henry VI. After Ralph Dacre was in possession it was held as a Rectory.—See the
following patent:—
In 1386 a patent was granted “Pro Rectore de Prescote de Lancaster pro bosco de Church-legh.”
The charters of foundation and grants are as follows:—To the Provost and Fellows of King's :
1444 25th February, 23 Henry VI. which Parliament confirmed, and the act passed, upon which
that king's charter to his college in Cambridge was founded.
1447 there was another charter, dated 1st September 26 Henry VI. for endowment of a Vicar.
1460 39 Henry VI. college had a grant of Prescote mercat.—See 62.
1533 another, dated March 26, 25 Henry VIII.
1614 another also, dated 1st October, 12 James I.
It is said that the Vicarage of Prescot was first endowed by the Right Hon. William Boothe, at that
time Bishop of Lichfield, Coventry, and Chester, who was translated to the see of York in 1452. Ralph
Duckworth was the first Vicar ; and the following is an account of those who have succeeded him. The
Rectorial Tythes in general remain with the Provost and Fellows, except Rainhill and Parr, townships
appropriated to the vicar, by lease from time to time, granted by the Provost and Fellows.
LIST OF THE VICARS OF PRESCOT.
Twenty Vicars of Prescot were presented by King's College, Cambridge, from 1448, to 1815, or in
367 years. They are as follows:— -
1. Philip Duckworth, D.D., was the first Vicar presented by the College in the year 1448. It
does not appear from the Eton catalogue, that he was ever Fellow of King's College ; but that catalogue
begins only with August, 1444, and a scholar from Eton cannot get qualified in so short a space of time
as three or four years to commence D.D. and Vicar; so that this gentleman must have been upon the
foundation before any scholars were sent from Eton.
2. Richard Lyncolne, born at Cambridge, admitted into King's College in 1449, was M.A., and the
first Vicar that was Fellow of King's College, who had been educated at Eton.
3. Robert Hacamblen, of London, admitted into King's College in 1462, was B.D., and by the
death of Richard Lyncolne was presented to the Vicarage the 7th day of August, 1492. He was after-
wards D.D., and elected the eighth Provost of King's College June 25th, 1509, where he lived nineteen
years, and was the donor of the brazen desk in the midst of the choir. This was the eighth Provost
and but third Vicar, so that there probably must have been several of the former before any of the latter.
4. Robert Noke was born in the parish of Bray, Berks, and was admitted into King's College in
the year 1500: he was afterwards Vice-Provost and Dean of Christ Church, Oxon. This account is
according to Mr. Bere's list, but there is no account of the presentation of Robert Noke in the leger
book of the College.
5. Simon Matthew was born at Biggleswade, Bedfordshire, admitted into King's College 1513:
was B.D. presented to the Vicarage in 1529, and Canon Residentiary of St. Paul's.
6. Robert Brassy was born in Bunbury, Cheshire ; admitted into King's College in 1525; presented
on the Death of Simon Matthew, April 10th, 1541 : he was D.D. ; elected the thirteenth Provost of
King's College October 3d, 1556, and died in 1558.
7. William Whitlock was admitted into King's College in 1537; was D.D., and Vice-Provost ;

The church was much enlarged, new roofed and pewed in 1610 and 1611. The present steeple was built
about the year 1729; and the spire being afterwards injured bylightning, was taken down and rebuilt in 1797.
In the neighbourhood of Prescot are extensive coal mines, the property of King's College, who have now
disposed of the third stratum (which is one hundred and forty yards from the surface) to Richard Willis, Esq.
of Halsnead Hall, Whiston, near Prescot, formerly called the Red Hall. Prescot is a copyhold tenure, mostly of
inheritance, and all (except indeed the glebe and a very few acres) belongs to King's College, Cambridge, who,
by their steward, hold their court annually on the day after Corpus Christi, and by adjournments through the
year, for the convenience of passing surrenders more frequently. The old rolls and court books were pre-
served so far back as 1534. In 1597, an order was made in court for a chest, to preserve the rolls and charters.
Among the officers appointed at this annual copyhold court, the Provost and Fellows name two men by them-
selves or steward; and two are chosen by the copyholders. The duty of these four men, anciently styled wood-
lookers, is to view and protect the woods and wastes of the lords as well as to prevent the copyholders from com-
mitting any depredations to the prejudice of one another. They also keep each a key of the chest where the
surrenders are deposited. This court elects a coroner to serve for the township. [It is now said that the rolls
prior to 1763 are missing.]

The census of 1802 and that of 1811 prove, that where the greater trade is carried on the more rapid
is the increase of population. Accordingly we see that whilst Prescot parish as a whole increased one-eighth
between 1802 and 1811, Cuerdley township, in which only one in thirty-one were engaged in trade, had not
experienced any increase; and that the townships of Penketh, Bold, and Sankey, wherein only one in seven-
teen were employed in trade, had increased but one in eighteen ; whereas the twelve other townships of
this parish had added to their population in the proportion of one in six. In Cuerdley township, which
would seem to have remained stationary during the above interval, was living in January 1816, Samuel

brother, was a priest and beneficed near Hereford by his uncle Humphrey. Another
brother, Edward, lived at Wiston, and had one daughter, Elizabeth. John Ogle by his
wife Anne had two sons—viz., John Ogle of Wiston, son and heir, who married Mar-
garet Norris, daughter of Norris, and had issue two sons, John son and heir,

In the History of the House of Warren,' Mr. Watson says, the barony of Widnes was established by
Roger Poictou, Lord of the Honor of Lancaster, soon after the Conquest, to protect his tenants and domains
from the inroads and oppression of the neighbours of the castle and barony of Halton, in Cheshire, on the other
side of the river Mersey, the boundary of the two counties; whilst the barons of Newton and Warrington
had a similar duty imposed upon them to protect the inhabitants from the castle near Dunham; and the baron
of Manchester to guard against the barons of Stockport. We find, however, that the fee of Widnes was
granted to Edmund de Lacy, Baron of Halton, 35 Henry III. 1250 ; and his son Henry de Lacy died
seized of it in the year 1310. Thomas, Earl of Lancaster was made Baron of
Halton in right of his wife, Alice, the only daughter and heir of the said
Henry Lacy, Earl of Lincoln, who was the tenth baron of .
Halton. The fee of Widnes was very extensive, and
spread over a large part of the south of Lancashire, par-
ticularly “Wydness with Upton, Appleton, the Passagio of
“ the Mershe (Mersey), the towns of Sutton, Eccleston,
“ Knousleye, Rabie (Roby), and Haxton (Huyton), and
“ Torbeck, Rainhill, Ditton,” etc. etc.—Thus the two
baronies of Halton and Widnes became a part of the
Dukedom of Lancaster, and now remain with his Majesty,
as part of his Duchy of Lancaster. The fee of Halton
and Widnes is now held by the most noble Prince Geo.,
Marquis of Cholmondeley, Earl of Rock Savage, Baron of
Malpas, who is lord of the manor of Widnes, and who holds
his courts at Halton Castle for Cheshire, and at Farnworth
for Lancashire. His steward, Francis Ashley, Esq. acts at
Arms described in Appendix. the latter place three times a-year. The lands are copyhold lº". *...*

fine upon alienation and transfer a year's rent, all certain. "
The Earl Henry Lacy, Constable of Cheshire, stipulated with the canons and priors of Burstow in
favour of his tenants of his fee of Widnes; one of whom was to be admitted into the hospital for leprous
persons and reasonably maintained, and one other in succession, if such could be found." [There is no
vestige of any castle in Widnes.]
The town of Farnworth, in Widnes, has a fine spacious old church, the present worthy minister of
which is the Rev. William Thompson, who has resided there for twenty-five years. The late Rev. Thomas
minopsmith. Moss, his predecessor, was curate for nearly fifty years. The chapel of the ancient
\ & @ family of the BOLDS is filled with monuments of that respectable family. Opposite to
off,
their chapel stands, on the south side, one built by WILLIAM SMYTHE, the good
Bishop of Lincoln, a native of this parish, and one of the great donors to Brazenose
College, Oxford; the family resided at Cuerdley." Bishop Smith not only built a
chapel for the tenants of Cuerdley, but he purchased a foot road over the fields for
their convenience in going to church. He also endowed a grammar School at Farn-

• Copie of an indenture tripartite, made the 20th July, 1507, betwene William Smythe, Bishop of Lincolne,
“ and the Dean and Chapter of Lincolne, of the one partie ; John the Prior, and the Convent of
“Launde, in the county of Leycester, of the second partie ; and the Maior and citizens of Chester,
“ of the third partie"—
Setting forth, That forasmuch as the said Prior and Convent had received of the said Bishop a
gift of £300 towards their great charges in procuring the appropriation of the Parochial Church of
Rosthorne in Cheshire, to their Monastery—they agreed to pay an annual rent of ten pounds, for ever, to
the said Mayor and citizens, who would give the same to “a sufficyentt and honest Preest, being a Master or
“ Bachelor of Arte, or a master of grammar at the least, teaching grammar freelye, in a free-schoole at
“ Farmeworth, in the county of Lancaster, for ever.” This rent is now paid from Rosthorne, and was
fixed at the dissolution of the abbey to be so paid. *
In the year 1623 one hundred and fifty-five inhabitants of Farnworth petitioned the magistrates of
Chester in behalf of Mr. Hawarde, schoolmaster there, whom they highly extol; after that, other masters
had so mis-used the children, that they had been in danger of losing their senses, lives, and limbs." There
is another petition:—“The general and joint petition of the gentlemen and all the inhabitants of the
chappelree of Farneworth to the Mayor and Aldermen of Chester, dated 4th July 1631,” praying for “a
new schoolmaster, instead of old Mr. Hawarde, who was insufficient, and young William who was idle and
neglectful.”
other gratuitous acts were conferred upon Scholars, Lancashire and Cheshire men, by the family of
Smyth. Matthew Smyth, the first principal of Brazenose, anno 1512–died 1547—and left his nephew,
Mr. Wm. Smyth (parson of Barton-in-the-Clay), a tenement and lands in Sutton, in the parish of Prescot,

chargeable with 20s. to be paid yearly to the Usher at Farnworth.” His other land in Sutton he gave to
Brazenose, to pay 20s. a-year to a scholar born in the chapelry of Farnworth or in the parish of Prescot.
He also disposed of other lands for the purpose of raising scholars in the parish, and supporting them at
Brazenose College. Humphrey Ogle, LL.B., gave £100 to Brazenose to support two scholars born in the
parish of Prescot.”
The beneficent design of the founders of Brazenose and the school at Farnworth could not be
executed more advantageously for the future fellows themselves and for the honour of the intelligent and
learned principal” and his worthy associates, the fellows of Brazenose College, than by the appropriation
of a part of their revenues to the support of an excellent and learned schoolmaster, to teach freely the
children who are destined to be sent to College from this favourite seat of the clergy, the parish of
Prescot ; and the town of Farnworth, from whence so many Lancashire and Cheshire men have risen to
the enjoyment of the best livings in the gift of Brazenose, will do well to continue to nourish such plants
as will bring forth fruit that will do credit to the founders. If the good bishop had laid out in his days
£300 in a landed estate, instead of lending the money, the income ere this would have been £300 a-year.
The number of excellent scholars from this parish is certainly very great, but it is hoped a hint humbly
given by a layman will be excused ; for complaints against the schoolmaster are not always groundless.
Of Peel House (where Bishop William Smyth was born), in the township of Widnes, and in the
chapelry of Farnworth and parish of Prescot, in the barony of Widnes, Sir John Prestwich, in a MS. of
his before us, says—“from whence came those seated at Cuerdley''' and that their original arms were
per pale or and gules, three fleurs de lis, counterchanged. The industrious and learned Mr. Churton, in
his life of the founder of Brazenose, has collected four different pedigrees of the Smyths, and much
information on the subject. He also mentions a William Smythe, Rouge Dragon, 1609, as of this family;
and if he were, it is most likely he would inquire into the pedigree of his own family with more than
ordinary diligence. In consulting his labours noticed below, however, we find no mention of Gilbert,
whose daughter ultimately owned or was lessee of Cuerdley; that leasehold land, if it did not belong to
the Smyths before the bishop's time, might be acquired by the bishop in his life-time; and there is some
reason to believe it was so acquired; for as second, or as some make him, fourth son, it is not likely that
he inherited Cuerdley, if it had been his father's. The book, in folio, containing the pedigrees, with the
arms in colours of families in Lancashire, taken at a visitation made anno 1567, 9th Elizabeth, and again
1598, “transcribed and augmented by me William Smith alias Rouge Dragon,” is a work carefully
executed, but not finished. At the end is a table of matches; and in this book we find the following

a manuscript we accidentally met with some years ago, written by Mr. George Malbon
*: of Bradley (son and heir of Mr. George Malbon, deceased, of Bradley, in the county of
W. Chester, descended from William Malbon of Acton, in Middlesex, 1442, owner of Brad-

The Sankey Canal commences in this parish at Ravenhead, Sutton, and proceeds to Windle, Parr,
Haydock, Winwick near Hulme, through Sankey and Penketh. It was first projected and an Act obtained
in 1755; and by a subsequent Act a communication by water was made between St. Helen's and
Liverpool. It rises from low water 90 feet, and its course is about 12 miles, besides several branches
which embrace different works on the line. The first Act was to allow the flats to enter the Mersey near
the point where the Sankey water discharges itself into that river ; but the second Act empowered them
to extend the canal to Fiddler's Ferry, which is about six miles below, and where they now enter the
river Mersey from Penketh, and sail down to Runcorn Gap, in their way to Liverpool, up to Warrington
and Manchester. 181,863 tons of coal, etc., were carried on this line in the year 1815.
The Sankey was the first canal cut through solid land without following the course of a brook or
river; and the river Mersey is navigable beyond the town of Warrington as far as Howley, where the
Mersey and Irwell, or as it is called, the Old Navigation, commences with a lock and rises by locks on
the river Mersey to the river Irwell, and to Manchester. We are led to believe the Mersey and Irwell
is also the oldest navigation in the kingdom ; but, be that as it may, it has lately been considerably
improved by a new branch from Howley, above Warrington, down to Runcorn, nearly lineable with the
river, which makes the shortest passage possible ; and the company's vessels now pass to a certainty in a
short time, and without that interruption from the neap tides which they had long experienced. Before
this plan was adopted, it was proposed to bring the new cut on the Lancashire side down to the Sankey
navigation above Sankey, and from thence, before they entered the Mersey water, the proprietors of the
Mersey and Irwell navigation meant to carry the canal over the wharf, as it is stiled, of Cuerdley and
Widnes, and discharge in the Mersey water in Ditton Bay or about that point.
It would have been greatly advantageous to the proprietors of the Sankey navigation if they had
consented to the proposed arrangement, which would have brought the vessels of both concerns down to
a place where a dock might have been made ; this project, too, would have greatly facilitated the laudable
design of those gentlemen who are now contemplating the practicability and best mode of building a
bridge over the river at Runcorn; thus uniting Lancashire and Cheshire, shortening the road to London,
Chester, and Ireland, by land, and saving the lives of many of his Majesty's subjects crossing that ferry.
The interest of the navigation, however, ought not to be in the least injured. The importance of the
Mersey and Irwell concern is extremely great to the trade of the country, and to Liverpool and Manchester
particularly ; no less than 2671 trips were made in 1815 by the vessels of this company, which was more
numerous than during any former year; and for some time the trade has been gradually increasing. The
average of the three last years is about 2300 trips, which, at 40 tons each trip, is nearly 100,000 tons of
goods carried from Liverpool to Manchester in one year by this line only.
But any injury to this canal from the project alluded to may be averted by a passage being made by
a cut from the present one above Runcorn, and carried from the new cut and addition of the Mersey and
Irwell, under a convenient arch of the bridge to a spacious dock below the bridge, which may be
constructed for the convenience of trade ; all difficulty would thus cease. But the greater part of the
expense ought to be defrayed by the bridge concern, and vessels might navigate into this dock upwards
with safety, and rise up by locks to the canal where it now ends; and one dock would amply serve both
concerns, if, as it has been in contemplation, the Sankey flats were to cross the river where it first joins,
and a canal were cut over the moor in order to form a junction with the Mersey and Irwell there, thus
avoiding the neaps in their passage down from Fiddler's Ferry to the Weaver Navigation in Cheshire.
The curious traveller may take the old quay packet at a trifling expense from Manchester, and
pursue the course of the Irwell and the Mersey. In his journey to Warrington he will be gratified with
scenery of the most interesting kind. Among the numerous objects on his way are, the curious old
building of Holme Hall; a beautiful distant view of Manchester; the winding of the river; various
bridges, particularly Barton Bridge, where the traveller sails under the Duke's Canal; the paper and
dyewood-mills of Throstle-nest and Moodeweel; at the latter the canal from Manchester falls 7 feet, and
at Throstle-nest full 83 feet. The deep glen of Trafford gives a striking effect to the successive prospects
of Eccles Church, Mill Bank, Warburton Church, Winwick, and Blackstone Edge. The river falling by
lockage, the traveller gains a distant view of Warrington. He may from Warrington proceed by the canal
to Runcorn, where Halton Castle arrests his attention, and the curious locks belonging to the canal of his
Grace the late Duke of Bridgewater. From Runcorn, by a packet or steam-boat, he may sail over the
broad Mersey water and visit Liverpool.

At Ravenhead an immense number of hands are employed in raising coal, a considerable quantity of
which is consumed on the spot by

in the manufacture of plain, concave, and convex mirrors, which are ground, polished, and silvered in a

the superintendence of ROBERT SHERBOURNE, Esq. The art of casting glass was borrowed
from the French, previously to which all articles of glass were blown and spread, the
size being of course very limited. In colour, in composition of materials, and in work-
manship, we now however excel the French, on the surface of whose plates, as well as
Azure, an ostrich head those of the Germans, arises a kind of mistiness or scum. When indeed a French plate
"...º.º.º.º is polished and silvered in England it is much improved, owing, perhaps, to the different

At the former an immense quantity of Welsh ore, after being what is termed
roasted in Wales, was here smelted ; and at Stanley Bank, we have been informed,
nearly thirty tons per week were cast into brass or copper ingots, about seven ounces
each, for the East India trade; but the works have been discontinued for three or four
years. There is an ample sale for the coal which is got along the banks of the canal
in this neighbourhood, and sent to the salt works at Northwich, &c. by the Sankey canal
which enters the Weaver Navigation below Runcorn. The salt works of Nicholas
Ashton, Esq. at the Dungeon, as well as those of John Blackburne, Esq. on the banks
of the Mersey, on the Lancashire side, are supplied from the same source: Liverpool
is also a very great market for these coals.
The manufactures for which this district is most famous are watches, watch tools, files,
and pinion wire. These primary trades are greatly subdivided, which, whilst it ensures
greater excellence of work, employs innumerable hands; and it is universally allowed,
that the watch tools, files, and pinion wire made in this county are the best in the world.
In Widnes, which would seem to have been as favourite a seat of the manufacturer as Prescot was of
the salesman, the farms are not above eight or ten acres each. When or for what reason they were so
allotted we have not yet learned ; but it may be fairly inferred, that the “proud baron” designed by such
an arrangement to enjoy a large population in a small compass, for the purposes of defence already alluded
to. Thus Earl Lacy, or Earl Thomas, would have their armourers near their castle of Halton, and those
armourers were doubtless handicraft men, for no other class could live on such small farms with large
families. When not employed in following the baron to war, or keeping castle guard, they were engaged
in making armour, which every man, according to his estate, was bound by law to provide and keep in
readiness.” We are the more willing to believe that this state of things existed in this district, because
the act of 3d Henry VIII., that of 4th and 5th of Philip and Mary, annulling all other acts respecting
armour, assumed no control over the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Lancaster, or the Earl of Chester's pro-
vision or orders of arming; which we also find by the returns in Lancashire were not subject to any
alteration.” Whilst, then, we read of orders and acts relative to the king's armourers at London and
Greenwich, which do not affect the prince, duke, and earl above named, who are left to their own discre-
tion on this head, where were their arms so likely to have been made as in Widnes?—In the time of
Queen Elizabeth ancient armour got into disuse, and was shortly after (1597) laid aside." To what, there-
fore, must our Widnes men have turned their metal armour? They might have converted a pike or bill into
a pruning-hook—the steel chain-rivets into files, watch-springs and pinions—the brass plate coat mail metal
into watch tops—the brass studs into fusees, &c.—a pike head would make a part of a vice or pincers.
The ancient forges, hammers, and tools, were suitable for watch-making, as well as for armoury; and
watch-making was not known in England before 1577; it might have been twenty years in reaching
Lancashire, for fashions did not then travel by mail coaches | We cannot say that all these conjectures
are well founded, but they do not want probability; for watch making, file cutting, &c. have been the
employment of the inhabitants of Widnes for more than two hundred years, as clearly appears by some
deeds yet in being. When the records of this duchy are printed and examined, there may possibly be
found in the account of the expenses of the earls or dukes of Lancaster, or those of the Lacys of Halton
castle, a satisfactory explanation of the matters which have thus engaged the fancy of conjecture.
There are four estates in the townships of Appleton, Widnes, and Upton, which
have long been known by the names of Upper House, Lower House, Carter's House, and Moss's arms.
Peel House.” These estates must have been set apart by the baron for his officers, as
the farms are larger than in general. The Upper House belongs to Mr. Cowley, who
resides upon it; the Lower is the property of John Leigh, Esq.; and Carter's House
that of Mr. Taylor, both of Liverpool. The whole of the townships named, particularly
Widnes-with-Appleton and Upton, command a view (and a beautiful one it is) of the
ruins of the famous castle of Halton, and of the bay and opening of the Mersey below
Runcorn. The lands gradually rising from the shore at Carter's House to the land at
Upton, Appleton, and Moss Bank," present the most delightful points of prospect. We
cannot help remarking, that Widnes, Appleton, and Upton farms are generally small,
and for the notice of signals, &c. they are all conveniently situated in full view of the -
castle. Cuerdley township belongs to Sir Richard Brooke, Bart.; Bold, to P. P. Bold, Emine, on a cross

1S2 Gregson's 330rtfolio of jjragments:
It is said that the Knightly family of Bold, Bolde, Boulde, or Bilde, as they are variously spelt, were seated
before the Conquest at Bold, in the county of Lancaster, and were lords of the same. This family have been
singularly fortunate in retaining their possessions, uninterruptedly, we believe, in the male line down to the late
Peter Bold, Esq., M.P. for the county of Lancaster, who died about 1761, leaving several daughters: Anna Maria
succeeded her father in the estate, and died in her 82d year, November 1813, when Peter Patten, Esq., eldest
son of Thomas Patten, married Dorothea Bold, the second daughter of the said Peter Bold, Esq., and in her right
succeeded to the ancient family estates, as will appear hereafter.
The ancient pedigree of the Bold family, by Richard St. George, in his visitation of Lancashire, 1613, in Harleian Collection, ter-
minates in 1613. Connected with the first Cheshire and Lancashire families, they appear to be in the Lancastrian interest ; for we find
that Sir Richard Bold, knt.; lived in the time of Henry VI, and his son Henry was a knight in Henry VII's time. Some of the family
seated themselves at Upton, in Cheshire (extinct), and another Bold seated himself at North Meols. The pedigree is as follows:–(1)

The present elegant residence of the family at Bold was built from the design of Leoni, the celebrated
Italian architect. The old hall at Bold is a curious edifice, of very ancient date, and now used as an
appendage to the more modern hall for a farm house. This family must have had great estates in Lan-
cashire; for in the muster of 1574 they provided as many horses and horsemen as any gentleman in the
county of Lancaster, except Henry, Earl of Derby.'

Maude, with the following inscription :-" Here lieth the bodies of
Sir Richard Shireburne, knt. Master Forester of Bowland, Steward
of the manor of Slaidburne, Lieutenant of the Isle of Man, and one
of his Majesty's Deputy Lieutenants for the county of Lancaster, and
Dame Maude, his wife, daughter of Sir Richard Boulde, knt., by whom
she had issue. She died 10th Novem. 1588; and Sir Richard 26th
July, 1594.” The noblemansion of the Sherbournes, of Stony-hurst, ...º.º.
* is now converted into a catholic seminary. The domain was granted 8 crescents, ermine.

The family of Sherbourne, of Stony-hurst, and many others in Lancashire, were Catholics, and as
Recusants were heavily fined. Whilst upon all England only £257,830 ; 16: 7# was imposed, the sum of
£27,258; 17: 93 was levied upon Lancashire alone, being more than one-tenth of the whole sum.—The
encouragers of popery were fined in heavy sums. On Sir Nicholas Sherbourne was levied £1190 : 4:3# ;
Lord Wiscount Molineux £2347:0: 13; Sir William Gerard, Bart. £1261 : 5: 1; ; Lord Viscount
Fauconberg £356: 2: 9; Rowland Bellasyee, £400; Maximilian Nelson, of Wrightington, Esq. f. 100 ;
Richard Ogle, of Huyton, £64; Henry Case, of Whiston, £12; William Case, of Whiston, £28: 5s. ; Hum-
phrey Orrel, of Parr, £68: 12s. ; William Halliwell, of Wrightington, £89: 0:6 ; and upon Evan Gerrard,
of Haighton, £1 12:12: 3; Sir Lawrence Anderton, of Lostock, Bart. £621 : 13 : 10, and for his Yorkshire
estates £67: 5s. more ; Margaret Anderton, of Lostock, £486 : 8:34; William Lathom, of Tarbocke, £6;
William Roscow, of Charnocke Richard, £42: 14:6; William Gregson, of Salmesbury, £9; Katherine
Gregson, of Balderstone, £4: 5s. ; William Gregson, of do. £0:0s.; John Gregson, of do. £0:0s. ; Lawrence
Cottam, of Ribchester, £27; Charles Harrington, of Huyton, £197: 3: 6; Richard Woolful, of Aughton,
Esq. f.762: 3: 9; John Lancaster, of Rainhill, £87:6 : 4; and many more, great and small, to the number
of 700 and upwards, were fined. The above “were among the levies made in Lancashire about 1680.”
In the time of Queen Elizabeth, Henry, Earl of Derby, William Chadderton, Bishop
” of Chester, Lord Strange, and Richard Holland, Esq., Sheriff of Lancashire 1582, seem
*alſº, to have been the active agents of the ministry on this occasion.” We do not find that
Richard Bold, Esq., who was sheriff 1576, was either fined as a popish person, or had
any levy made upon him ; but he appears to have petitioned strongly against the
measures pursuing in Lancashire, particularly against the eightpence per week levied upon
every parish for the maintenance of the poor Recusants confined in the new Fleet Prison,
Salford, and for the payment of Mr. Worsley, the keeper: on which account, especial
orders came down from Lord Burghley and others to bind him (Mr. Bold) and others,
but especially him, in a large sum to appear before the Privy Council in London, on such
a day as the Earl and Bishop should appoint.”
Gules, cross potent In the year 1580, the Lords and others in Council wrote to William Chadderton,
Crossed, Or. Bishop of Chester, shewing the inconvenience, with regard to the Queen's safety, of young
gentlemen being educated abroad in popish countries, and requiring him to call before him divers gentlemen
of his diocese, and to take bonds of them to call their children home in three months' time; and also to
inquire, by his archdeacons, what other persons were abroad, that they might likewise be ordered home.
The following nine Cheshire and twenty Lancashire gentlemen appear in the list which was made, and
sent to the bishop, December 16 1580:—
Weld's arms.

The PATTENS, Pattines, or WAYNFLETE (there are, according to Dr. Chandler, 17 modes of spelling this latter
name), claim an ancestry coeval with the Conquest. They came into Lancashire in the reign of Henry VIII. Bishop
Waynflete, who was Lord High Chancellor of England, and founder of Magdalen College, Oxon, and the pious Wilson,
Bishop of Soder and Man, were illustrious members of this family. The property of the latter bishop, on the death of his
son, the late Dr. Wilson of St. Stephen's, Walbrook, London, centred in the Patten family, each of them, bishop and son,
having married a Patten. Dr. Chandler, in his Life of Bishop Waynflete, seems to be at a loss on many points in the
pedigree of the bishop of Winchester: we hope, however, his readers will derive every satisfaction from the labours of those
two learned antiquarians and genealogists, the late Ralph Bigland, Esq. Somerset Herald, and Sir Isaac Heard, formerly Lan-
caster Herald, but now Garter King of Arms. The pedigree compiled by them with great industry is brought down to
1769; and additions are now made which bring it down to the present day.—Bishop Waynflete took, in addition to the
arms of the family (which were a field fusily, ermine and sable) on a chief sable 3 lilies slipped, argent.” The family at
Thornley took a canton, or, and those of Warrington a canton, gules, for difference.
The name of Patine occurs in a table, sometime in Battle Abbey, among the knights and esquires
who came over with William the Conqueror.—Wide Stow's Chronicle.

This bishop left many monuments of his generosity and gratitude to Eton College, and was in such esteem with his
royal master that he was joined in a commission with John Chadworth, Bishop of Lincoln, to reform and correct the body
of statutes drawn up for this college and that of Cambridge. He was such a friend to Eton College, that on the register
he is styled, DISCRETISSIMUS VIR ET PROVIDISSIMUS.—For further particulars of this excellent bishop, see Dr. Chandler's
Life of William Waynflete, 1811, London.
* These are the arms of Eton College, of which he was provost ; and the addition has been assumed by other provosts of Eton.

Their pedigree and descent from the Stanleys of Hooton and Lathom are too well known to render their repetition
here necessary. The authentic pedigree may be seen in Edmondson's Baronage, and a detailed account in Collins's
Peerage, Seacombe's History of the House of Stanley, &c. &c. They have long been the first Earls
that sit in the House of Peers, the Earl of Shrewsbury being a catholic peer. Their chief seat is
Knowsley: the house and estate of Lathom, which was ruined by the civil wars, was sold by Henrietta
and her lord, daughter of the eighth Earl of Derby, to Sir Thomas Bootle, Knt. The present family
have a house at the Oakes, in Kent, and in Grosvenor-square, London. Lord Stanley, eldest son,
married Miss Hornby, his cousin, and is one of the Knights of the Shire for the county of Lancaster:
his brother-in-law, Edmund Hornby, Esq. of Dalton Hall, and who married Lord Stanley's sister, is
M.P. for Preston, in the county of Lancaster. Of this family is Colonel Stanley, of Cross Hall, late
Knight of the shire for Lancaster, many years Col. of the First Regiment of Royal Lancashire Militia,
and Sir John Stanley, Bart of Alderley and Winnington, in the county of Chester, descended from
Sir Thomas Stanley, of Lathom and Knowsley, great grandson of Sir John de Stanley, who married
the heiress of Lathom. This present baronet married the Honourable Lady Maria Baker Holroyd,
daughter of the Right Honourable the Earl of Sheffield. Sir John has published some particulars
°f a voyage which he made to Iceland several years ago, in pursuit of objects of Natural History, &c.; and his father-in-
law some valuable treatises on Trade, &c. This family of Holroyd were originally from the neighbourhood of Halifax. (19)

THE rectorial tythes of this and of five other parishes in the county of Lancaster were impropriated
to the see of Chester on the foundation of that see in 1542, when John Bird, the bishop of Bangor, was
translated from Bangor, and appointed the first bishop of Chester. By the same act the archdeaconry of
Chester was severed from the see of Lichfield." The parish of Childwall is extensive : the tythes were let
by bishop Vaughan, for a certain sum of money, (part of the dissolved monastery of Holland, in Lancashire)
for lives, 1603, to James Anderton, Esq. at £57: 11 : 8 per annum;’ they have long been in the hands of
the family of Gerrard, of Garswood, and their successors, who, we are informed, paid £4500 to the late
bishop for a renewal of the lease; and we are also informed that these tythes, if now free, would let at
£600 per annum. The Church of Childwall is dedicated to All Saints. It stands charged in the King's
books at £5: 11 : 8 per annum, synods and prox. at 8s. 4d., yearly tenths at 11s 3d. The bishop of Chester
is lay impropriator."
The parish of Childwall contains eight townships—viz., Allerton, Childwall, Garston, Hale, Halewood,
Speke and Wavertree, Little Woolton, and Great Woolton; the hamlet of Hoglet in Speke, Hale Bank in
Hale, Gateacre in Great Woolton. The population of this parish at the census of 1811 was 5383, and the
rental, according to the property assessment 1815, was £45,047. Childwall is bounded on the west by the
parish of Walton, Toxteth Park, and West Derby; on the north by that of Huyton and Prescot; and on
the south by the river Mersey from Otterspool to Ditton, where Prescot again joins Childwall parish by the
townships of Ditton, Cronton, &c.

Childwall is pleasantly situated, and is protected from the north-west winds by the hills of Childwall,
which have been recently inclosed. The views from the neighbourhood of the church, from the hall,
Gateacre, and as far as Woolton Hall, the seat of Nicholas Ashton, Esq., are extensive and particularly fine.
On the west are seen, with other more distant eminences, Aughton hills, near Ormskirk, traversing a line of
country to the south-east. The prospect from Prescot to Farnworth terminates on the south-east, with a
distant view of the ruins of Halton Castle, now fast mouldering away—a range of hills beyond, and
Norton Priory, the elegant residence of Sir Richard Brooke, Bart. A large portion of the Mersey water
forms one of the features of this scene, and gives great interest to a landscape that extends nearly fifteen
miles—from Aughton to Norton Priory or Halton Castle. This highly cultivated vale is interspersed
with more churches than are usually seen at one view in Lancashire.
Childwall is named in Doomsday Book, and was then held by four Radmans, or Knight Riders, as
four manors. A priest had half a carucate of land, which is from 30 to 50 acres." After the expulsion of
Roger Pictavensis, Stephen de Blois, before he was king, held Lancashire, as well as King John, who, as
we have so repeatedly seen, made many grants to ancestors of present owners. After a succession of
governors, we find Randulf de Blundevill, Earl of Chester, who owned all the lands between the Ribble and
Mersey.” He died A.D. 1232, and was succeeded by the great Earl of Derby, William de Ferrars, who
having married Agnes, the sister of the said Earl, had Lancashire for her portion; and though his brother-
in-law, Earl Randulf, had confirmed to him before his death some lands in Lancashire and elsewhere,” on
his death he had other considerable grants, and confirmation of Earl Randulph's lands.
This Earl Ferrars appointed his Barons, as was customary in former times. Almerick Butler was
made Baron of Warrington; ‘ Grelle, Gresley, Gredley, or Gressly, &c. &c., Baron of Manchester. The
Grelles held with the manor of Manchester the church there and at Ashton; the manor of Childwall,
with the appurtenant churches of Hale and Garston; all which are said by Whitaker, in his History of
Manchester, to have been given to Peter, the son of Thomas de Grelle, 46 Hen. III. (1262), who, it is
likely, was a priest. *
1272, 10 Edward I. we find that Robert Grelle held extensive lands in Lancashire"; among other
possessions he held Manchester et ecclia, and Ashton ecclia belonging to Manchester, with the manor of
Manchester.’
At this time Sir Robert de Holland, whom we have often had occasion to mention, married Cicely,
sole daughter and heir of Allen Colembiers, by which connection he acquired Hale.”
1303, 32d Edward I. we learn, Sir Robert de Holland obtained the manor of Childwall et ecclia ;
and after a full inquiry by a writ Inquisitionum ad quod Damnum, the same was confirmed to him.”
1309, 3d Edward II. having had the grant ratified, he and his
Grelle's Arms. wife Maude founded, in the chapel of St. Thomas the Martyr, at Holcroft's Arms.
Holland, in the parish of Wigan, a College or Chantry, consisting of a
dean and twelve secular priests, who were changed, 1319, by Walter,
Lord Bishop of Lichfield, at the petition of Sir Robert Holland, their
patron and founder, into a priory of Benedictine monks; and there
were found at the time of the Suppression, five religious and twenty-
six servants. The utmost value of the house was £78 : 12s. It was
granted, 37 Henry VIII. to John Holcroft, whose family were great Seefolio 182, No. 15.
purchasers of church lands at that time. Tanner, in his Notitia Monastica, calls Childwall Childwick.”
This Sir Robert Holland, who was a thriving man in those days, after he had got Childwall, married
his daughter Margaret to John de la Warre, whose father Sir John de la Warre had married Johanna, the
sole daughter and heir of Robert Grille. Her brother Thomas, Baron of Manchester, was summoned
to Parliament 1, 2, 3, and 4, Edward I. and died 1310, S. P. From this marriage of Margaret de
Holland, the de la Warres and west de la Warre, Barons and Earls, are descended."
Thomas de Holland, knt. Second son of the before-named Robert, married Joan the Fair Maid,
daughter of the Earl of Kent, and grand-daughter of King Edward I. Joan had been married to William
Montacute, Earl of Salisbury, and was after Holland's death re-married to Edward the Black Prince,
father of Richard II. Successively the Hollands became Earls of Kent, Huntington, and Surrey,
and Dukes of Exeter, and intermarried with the royal Houses of York and Lancaster. These Hollands
took their name and origin from the House of Holland in Lancashire. The daughter and heir of the elder
line, who afterwards flourished here under the degree of knight,” being at last married to one of the
Lovels, carried the arms and estate to that family; one estate in Halewood was in
possession of Francis Lovel, Baron Lovel, Holland, Deigncourt, Grey, &c. &c. who was
at the battle of Bosworth-field, and was drowned with his horse, in attempting to ford
the river at Ince, in order to get to his house at Halewood: he was attained in
Parliament 1st Henry VII. and his lands were given to the Earl of Derby; those in
Halewood are now in his Lordship's possession. The Percivals, Earls of Lovel and
Holland, as his nearest representatives, claimed and had those titles granted them.”—
But to return to the history of Childwall. We find that Henry Duke of Lancaster died
seized of the manor of Childwall, anno 1361;” and that shortly after that period it was
(temp. Edward III.) transferred to Robert de Lathom, of Lathom, who had a grant and
or, nebule of 8 bars, confirmation of this and various other places in Lancashire." After his death John de
gules. [*] Stanley had a grant of Lathom manor, the manor of Knowsley, Childwall, Roby, and
Lovel's Arms.

Wavertree is a pleasant village, and has increased, with Liverpool, within these few years in a rapid
manner. It is not, we believe, the largest, but it certainly is the most valuable township in the parish.
The salubrity of the air is highly and very deservedly spoken of The church or chapel was designed
and built, a few years ago, by subscription, under the direction of Mr. John Hope, architect, of Liverpool.
The Rev. Mr. Stubbs is the present incumbent.
Wavertree, or Vauretrea, Wave, or Wavre, or Wartree at the time of the Conquest was called two
carucates of land, and was valued at sixty-four pence. (Waste land was not then estimated.) The rental
of 1815 was £11,184 per annum.
In 1731 the township contained fifty houses, of which three only were untenanted: these forty-
seven inhabited houses, at six to a house, would be about 290 people. In 1801 the number of houses
had increased to 860; and in 1811 to 1398. The house and window tax was assessed together in 1731,
and only amounted to £6: 15s. ; in 1811 there were 1400 inhabited houses, three unoccupied, and three
building. In 1815, 1816, ending April 1817, the window tax and house tax, with the other assessed taxes,
upon an average of two years, were £1865.
The royalty of the land, copyhold of inheritance, has generally followed the destiny of the neighbour-
ing township of West Derby: and after Randulf of Chester's decease, West Derby and Wavertree were
the inheritance of Earl Ferrars : but at Edmund Earl of Lancaster's death, we find these places among
his great possessions;” and they in part continued with the line of Lancaster and their successors so late
as Queen Elizabeth, whose manor Wavertree then was, and whose tenants had a dispute with Richard

between Allerton and Wavertree, all which were bounded by Calder, Roger, or way stones, as appears by
a plan then made and laid down, now in the chest at Wavertree. All these wastes were inclosed about
twenty years ago; and more recently the waste lands of Childwall, of Great and Little Woolton, in the
parish of Childwall, by an Act of Parliament, anno 1805.
The court for Wavertree and West Derby is held under Bamber Gascoyne, Esq., for the copyhold lands,
which are of inheritance, and fine certain.
In the Act for inclosing Wavertree common, a reservation was made, that the triangular piece of land
extending from the road near the pool to the mill, bounded on each side by a lane, should for ever remain
open, and no building be made thereon.

Was lately the residence of William Roscoe, Esq., who purchased some years ago a moiety of the Allerton
estate, and has much enlarged and greatly improved the hall. The grounds are laid out with taste; and
the immediate and distant scenery is extremely beautiful.
A view of the hall, taken before Mr. Roscoe's alterations, is introduced in Troughton's History of
Liverpool, and in Britton's Beauties of England and Wales.
Le Warre. In or about 1310 this estate belonged to John le Warre, Baron of Manchester, and
was four parts of a knight's fee, paying 20s, and part of the barony of Widnes.
At the time of the Usurpation Allerton belonged to Richard Lathom, of the Parbold
family; but he having been adjudged to have forfeited his estates for treason against
the State, on the 16th March 1653, Wm. Skinner, Wm. Robynson, Samuel Gookin,
Henry Scely, Wm. Lisle, and Arthur Samwell, Esqrs, surviving trustees for the sale of
forfeited estates, appointed by Act of the Long Parliament, sold Allerton (about 460,
some say 650 acres, large measure) to John Sumpner of Midhurst, in Sussex, gentleman.
The price agreed for was £3700. Sumpner, however, did not seem well satisfied with
his title, and therefore paid to Richard Lathom a valuable consideration for a complete
ºś". release on the part of the latter. It appears, too, that the Lathoms still kept possession
the last. of the estate, and were about that time making alterations. There yet remains on an old

“On Thursday the twelfth of February 1795, died at Allerton, in the county of Lancaster, in the
ninety-third year of her age, Mrs. Jane Hardman, widow of the late James Hardman, Esq. of Rochdale,
sister-in-law of John Hardman, Esq., formerly representative in parliament for the borough of Liverpool,
and daughter of George Leigh, Esq. of Oughtrington. On the death of her husband she was left with a
hopeful family of three sons, who nearly arrived at manhood, and one daughter, who died at an early age.
Deprived of her own offspring, her affections embraced a wider circle, and for a long time she was a
resource to the unfortunate, and a blessing to her friends. Her charities were as judicious as they were
liberal ; when large, not lavish ; when small, not parsimonious. To approach her was to partake of her
bounty. She possessed good sense without austerity; true religion without intolerance; her indulgence
was for others, her severity for herself. A life of temperance and virtue secured to her an old age of
cheerfulness and respectability, and enabled her to wait the close of her days with fortitude and resignation.”
She was buried at Rochdale.
“When virtue, nipt in early bloom, But when to virtue's arduous task
Untimely from the world retires, Extended length of days is given,
With just regret we mourn the doom The work complete, no more we ask,
That blasts the hope which youth inspires. But yield the ripen'd fruit to heaven.”

Cotonship of Garston,
THE township and village of Garston lies upon a gentle declivity from Allerton Hall to the river Mersey,
which washes its boundary shores southwardly, whilst Speke meets it on the S.S.E. sides. About twenty-
five years ago the chemical preparation for bleaching was manufactured here by Mons. Bonnel, on its early
introduction into England; but the work has long since been discontinued. Vitriol works were also carried
on for a short time at Garston. The large and extensive salt-works of John Blackburne, Esq., and Co. were
established here on the removal of the concern by Act of Parliament from the head of the Salthouse Dock,
Liverpool. The present situation offers many conveniences, particularly for refining salt, and as being in the
vicinity of the rock-salt mines in Cheshire. The salt-works of Nicholas Ashton, Esq., at the Dungeon, in
Hale, adjoin Speke on the north, and those of Garston on the south, partaking of the advantages alluded to.
The township was formerly held by Adam de Garston, according to Testa de Nevill;" and, according
to Birch's account, afterwards by Robert de Blackburne, in right of his wife Ellen.” The manor and a
good estate adjoining the salt-works are the property of John Blackburne, Esq., formerly of Liverpool and
Wavertree; but at present of Hawford, in Worcestershire, descended from the Blackburnes of Oxford, and a
younger branch of those at Hale. This manor was, at the period above alluded to, in the barony of Widnes,
and held under Earl Thomas of Lancaster,” as well as Great Woolton, Hale, Childwall, Wavertree,
Allerton, etc. It has since passed though various hands. It was long in the possession of the Norrises, of
Speke; and was sold some few years ago, in lots, by the son of the Hon. Topham Beauclerk, of the St.
Alban's family, descended from Lady Diana, who was the heiress of the Norrises of Speke.
- There is a chapel at Garston under the patronage of Richard Watt, Esq. of Speke. The Reverend
John Wause, M.A., enjoys the living of the chapel, which has been the burial-place of the Norris family
for many years. This chapel contains some marble monuments, but few, if any, of good workmanship.
The townships enclose several small spots of land which belong to the Duchy, called the Savoy lands.
There are a few fishermen here; but formerly, it is said, great quantities of fish were caught on the Lancashire
shore. The fishery was granted to the abbots of Shrewsbury. Many fish-garths, we are sorry to find, are
staked down from Runcorn Gap to Liverpool—viz, at Runcorn, Hale, Garston, and Torieth Park. It is to
be lamented that so much small fry is destroyed, particularly during spring tides; as their food being thus
taken away, the large fish are prevented from visiting our shores as usual.
Robinsom. In Garston stands the ancient Hall of Aighburth, “V”
which was at one time of some note. It was bought
with the estate by the late John Hardman (after he L-
had purchased Allerton) from George Warrington,
Esq., which family formerly resided in Liverpool, at
the bottom of Redcross Street; and their descendants
are now living near Wrexham, North Wales. Mr. or, 2 bars, vert.
Hardman disposed of the estate to Mr. Tarleton, whose family were
established in Liverpool as merchants so far back as 1559. The
estate was sold again lately by the present Thomas Tarleton, Esq. of
Boldesworth Castle, near Malpas, Cheshire, brother of General Sir
Banastre Tarleton, Baronet.
The old Hall and surrounding lands were purchased by – Dixon,
Esq., of Chester, and the remainder of the estate was divided into lots
of ten to fourteen acres, and sold to several mer- Crooke.

Ashton.
(ſtreat &ſigdſton.
IN this village is the capital mansion of Nicholas Ashton, Esq., the present proprietor,
who has greatly improved the house and grounds, which are most desirably
situated, and of which a beautiful drawing was made by the late Mr. Thomas
Chubbard, engraved by Watts, in his Select Views, plate lxxvi., accompanied by the
following description –l
“Woolton Hall, about six miles from Liverpool, upon an eminence, commands
“grand and extensive prospects, the two extreme points of view being the Cumberland
“ and Westmoreland hills to the north, and the Wreaken, near Shrewsbury, to the
“south ; from thence also may be seen Blackston Edge, in Yorkshire, and several of
“the Derbyshire and Staffordshire hills; to the eastward the rivers Mersey and Weaver
“join in view about four miles from this house, and very soon opening into a fine
“sheet of water, continue their course to the Port of LIVERPool. The prospect to
“the south-west is terminated by an irregular scene of Welch mountains.”
Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, owned Woolton as part of the
barony of Widnes. The Garstons of Garston, and the Blackburnes N
of Garston, held lands here.” Enfield, in his History, says, “Woolton
Hall belonged formerly to the family of Woolton, whose heiress mar-
ried into the family of Bretargh, of Bretargh Holt (in the valley
below); from them it descended to the family of Broughton.”
[The family of Bretargh was a very ancient one]. This estate now
belongs to Thomas Rawson, Esq. of Woolton.
The Knights Hospitallers, or the Knights Templars, of St.
John of Jerusalem, had a house upon the Heath, and as Enfield reports, the founda-

Espeake or Spec, as it is called, is situated between Garston and Hale
and Halewood, on the east; the river Mersey being on the south and Great
Woolton on the north. It is about seven miles from Liverpool, and a similar
distance from Prescot. Speke and the hamlet of Oglet contain about 2600
statute acres. In 1811 there were 37 houses, occupied by seventy families,
all employed in agriculture except two, the wheelwright and blacksmith.
The population in 1801 was 374. The number of poor was seven ; and
the rate per pound 13d. ; rental reckoned at £3030. In 1815 this town-
ship was rated under the property assessment at the rental of £4732. The
whole is the property of Richard Watt, Esq. of Bishop Burton (lately High
Sheriff of the county of York) whose uncle, Richard Watt, Esq., merchant
of Liverpool, purchased this manor from the Beauclerk family.
Speke, according to Domesday, was held by Uctred;" at that time
names were frequently changed, for shortly after we find that Benedict de
Gerneth or Garnet was lord of Espeake, and 0glahal or 0glet, and that
Speke was given with Annota or Annora, daughter and heir of Benedict,
to Adam de Molyneux, of the Sephton family.”
With the family of the Molyneux this estate continued for some time,
until at length it was given as a portion with Joan Molyneux, daughter of
Sir John Molyneux of Sephton, knt., on her marriage to William Norris,
son of Thomas Norris, of Sutton. The Norrises had long been a family of
consequence in Lancashire, and held lands in Blackrod, Sutton, &c.” From

196 (freggon's 430rtfolio of fragments:
Temp. Edward II. 1313, Alan de Norreys had a son, called also Alan, whose daughter Clementina,
heir of Alan the son and heir, married William Danyers, son and heir of Sir John Danyers or Daniel, of
Daresbury, 1344, in which family Daresbury remained when Sir Peter wrote, 1666."
It appears from the same author, that Sutton, Eccleston, and Raynull, in Lancashire, 12th Henry IV.,
were part of the possessions of Allan le Norreys, under the barony of Halton.” The Norrises of Speke
were often sheriffs of Lancashire; as were the Norrises of Oxford and Berkshire of those two counties, and
of Dorset and Wiltshire.
The Norrises both of the Speke and Rycot families were all martial men. They held their estate of
Speke by military tenure,” which they imposed upon their tenantry. The Norrises acquired great honour
in foreign service, in which they were so much engaged as to be unfrequent attendants at court. A part
of the debateable lands at Bromfield, in Wales, was granted to this family. Sir John Norris was a most
accomplished General, about 1577, equally valiant and skilful in a charge as a retreat. On one remarkable
occasion he effected a retreat, with a handful of Englishmen, which gained him more honour than a victory
could have conferred. He was sent over to Ireland as a commander in the reign of Elizabeth ; but not
being properly supported by the Government, owing perhaps to the animosity of party spirit, he did not
succeed in his mission, and died suddenly anno 1597. Sir John had three horses killed under him in one
day, whilst fighting against Don John and the Prince of Parma, in 1578. His father was Henry, Lord
Norrys, of Rycot, related to the Viscounts Lovel. A further account of these two families may be found
in Fuller," and in Harleian MSS.”
$peite %all
May be considered one of the most curious and interesting objects of antiquity in the neighbourhood of
Liverpool. It is built of wood and plaster, the materials employed in the erection of most Lancashire houses
down to the 16th century. It was surrounded by a moat, the remains of which are pretty entire, and over
which is a bridge leading to the front entrance—a stone porch. The face of the porch, at this time mantled
with ivy, bears the following inscription, executed in black and white letters of antique shape:—
Cbig UNHură Ciorntn #28 ruš Iung mag UKābullen 36ttiſt hp (B. º. 1598.
From the porch is a passage into an inner court of an oblong form, being about 17 yards wide by 24
deep. In the middle of this quadrangle grow two yew trees, which have been planted at a very remote
date, and have doubtless been in high esteem with the bowmen and archers of former days The gallery
windows on the chamber floor, the ancient bay windows, and the bow-room window of the great baronial
hall, look into the court. Passing down the principal lobby, you enter the great hall, in which is a most
splendid wainscot of oak, in twelve pales, divided perpendicularly and horizontally into panels of different
sizes. A little above the eye is a row of twelve panels bearing ancient shields or scrolls, similar to achieve-
ment shields, of a Gothic shape: a head is carved on each, and they have been conjectured to represent
the Twelve Caesars. Of this wainscot Secomb, in his History of the House of Stanley, gives the following
aCCOunt :—
“And here justice as well as respect to the ancient and worthy house of Norris, of Speke, calls upon
“me to acquaint the reader with the bravery of Sir Edward Norris, son of Sir William Norris, who was
“slain at the battle of Musselbarrow, in the time of Henry VII. This valient and heroic gentleman, Sir
“Edward Norris, commanded a body of the army under General Stanley, at Flodden Field, where he
“behaved with so much courage and good conduct, that he was honoured by the king his master with the
“like congratulatory letter" above mentioned, for his good service in the victory of that day; in token
“whereof he brought from the deceased king of Scot's Palace all or most of his princely library, many
“books of which are now at Speke, particularly four large folios, said to contain the records and laws
“of Scotland at that time, and worthy the perusal of the learned and judicious reader; and he also
“brought from the said palace the wainscot of the king's hall, and put it up in his own hall at Speke :
“wherein are seen all the orders of architecture, as Tuscan, Dorick, Ionick, Corinthian, and Composite, and
“round the top of it this inscription:”—(broken by the intervention of the architectural ornaments).

At or about the time of the Conquest this estate belonged to Gilbert de Walton, Lord of Hale and
Halewood, who had two sons, Richard who was called de Mida,' who died without issue ; and Henry,
second son and heir, who left a daughter and heir, Cicily, who married Alan de Columber, son of William
de Columber, in right of his wife Lord of Hale and Halewood. They had issue, Cicily, daughter and sole
heir, who married Sir Robert de Holland, knt.; son of Sir Robert Holland, who, in right of his wife,
became Lord of Hale and Halewood. They had a daughter and co-heir, named Avena, who married Adam
de Ireland, or Hibernia (as the family were often called), Lord of the Hutt, and in right of his wife Lord
of Hale; living in 1315. He built the new aisle and glass window in the old chapel of Hale, which was
taken down in 1758, and rebuilt of stone, as it now stands (1817). From 1315 to the present time Hutt
and Hale have continued in the possession of the same family.
The old front above delineated was built by Sir Gilbert Ireland, knt. of the Hutt and Hale, and
finished in 1674: Sir Gilbert Ireland married Margaret, daughter and sole heir of Thomas Ireland, of
Bewsey, and died in 1675, S. P. in the 51st year of his age. He was Member of Parliament for Liver-
pool, and a great partisan and friend of Oliver Cromwell, by whom he was made governor of Chester
Castle—a man of unbounded hospitality, appointed Lord Lieutenant of Lancashire, and knighted for his
services to government. His disposition, however, was haughty, and his demeanour stately. He was fond
of elections, and maintained a contest for Liverpool on several occasions; the last of which, from excessive
drinking, and an extravagant expenditure of money, proved as fatal to his health as injurious to his purse.
By his will he assigned over his estates in trust, to pay his engagements, unto Henry Legh, of High
Leigh, Richard Legh his son, John Case, of Red Hazels, Thomas Wright, of Cronton, John Cook, of Little
Woolton, Thomas Cooke, of Bewsey, and Thomas Wright, of Widnes, with full power to lease his estates
in Lancashire, and to sell those in Cheshire. Being asked by the lawyer who made his will, if twenty
years were not sufficient to redeem his estates, he replied, “they shall be sequestered thirty years for the
due payment of my debts.” He left to two sisters, Eleanor and Martha, £180 per annum each. The
former married Edward Aspinall, whose son Gilbert succeeded to the estate at Hale. Sir Gilbert Ireland
died seized of Hale, part of Hale Bank and Garston, part of Great Woolton, Penketh and Tarbuck, all in
Lancashire; and in Cheshire of lands in Bebbington, Crowton, Kingsley, Badley, Milton, Cuddington,
Newton, Little Leigh, Waverham, and Stenthorpe.”

In the time of the present possessor, the house at Hale has undergone considerable alterations; a new
south front and tower have been added, according to the plan of Mr. Nash, in the Elizabetha style of the
old north front above shewn. This additional suit of rooms, which are in a southerly direction, command
a view of the broadest part of the river Mersey, which is here about four miles across, and from the
continual passage of vessels, present a busy and interesting prospect. Beyond the river are seen Ince and
the high grounds of Cheshire; still farther the more distant hills of North Wales.
The celebrated collection of plants which were formerly in the Botanic Gardens at ORFORD are now
removed to this favoured spot. In the centre compartment of the new front, is a large museum or loung-
ing-room, in which are deposited a collection of natural curiosities, coins, and valuable books. This room
is 44 by 24 feet : at the ends are the drawing and eating-rooms, each 36 by 22 feet. Behind is still
preserved the old hall, with its ancient wainscot ; but the roof having been raised, the space between it
and the wainscot is ornamented with the armorial bearings of the family, in a genealogical arrangement,
from the earliest period to the present time.

This building, which is seen in the print at a little distance on the left of the hall, is built entirely of
stone. It is a donative, John Blackburne, Esq., being the patron. The certified value is £17, 17s. Rev.

In the 15th Edward III. 1342, when the wapentake of Derby was assessed to 9th and 15th, whilst
the parish of Childwall paid £40, Hale paid £20, Speke £4, 15s, Wa'tree £4, 13s 4d, or seven marks,
Allerton 23s, Wolneton five marks, or £3, 6s 8d, Wolneton Magna £2, 6s 8d, Garston de, 50s, Childwall

In 1814 a new peal of six bells was erected in the tower of Hale chapel, one of which was given “by
that truly loyal and patriotic gentleman John Watkins, Esq.” (resident in the neighbourhood of Hale), and
was inscribed “Church and King, John Watkins, Esq. Ditton, 1814.”
Robert de Holland obtained a grant of a market and fair to Hale, 32d Edward I., and the same year
“free warren in Holland, Hale, or Hull, and Martland.” Hale contains 1547 statute acres.
Hale Point, projecting into the River Mersey, is the most southward land of all Lancashire.
At Hale Hall there is to be seen a curious old manuscript of Monkish Poems, dated 1389, written in
Latin, in a fine hand, and consisting of 80 folios of abortive vellum ; and in an attached manuscript, on
paper, is the old Court Book, containing the Customs of the Manor, copies of Court Rules and Orders;
beginning 16th Richard II. 1392, and ending 1st Edward IV. 1461.
In this book we find many particulars of JOHN LEYOT, a native of Hale, a busy and active character,
who was parson of the church of Malpas, Dean of Chester, and parson of Dinforth.” He founded a Chantry
in Hale Chapel, and was buried there. He obtained a brief from Pope John, 1412, but does not appear
to have been a very pleasant neighbour to the writer of the book alluded to.
We shall first collect such notices as relate to Leyot in the Court Book, and then return to and
extract a few of the customs.
1389, John Leyot, parson of the church of Malpas, bought one hall of John Blackburne, some time
Lord of Garston, which stood in the pool of Holland's Hey; and the said John Leyot built the said hall in
Hale, upon the Comyn, called the old Birnested, near the Two Acres, which he had of Robert Dicconson,
which are lessary, made from ancestors of the said Dicconson, had of and by the gift and feoffment of
Adam de Ireland, ancestor of William Ireland, producing his grant and rendering 5s per annum.
1391, this Leyot was charged with a rental of 8%d, and John Leyot's hoggs seized, not being paid for
according to the Custom of the Manor.
1393, Thomas Leyot, brother of John Leyot, Dean of Chester, came and acknowledged that he held
all the lands that were of Wm. Wastre, according to the custom of the manor, at the rent of 15d ; paid
30d and did his fealty.—Master John Leyot incroached a great ditch near the highway, to the great
prejudice thereof and to the lordship, and saith he had a licence.
1394, Master John Leyot admitted to lands, and gave his mother one messuage, and half an oxgang
of land; he paid 40d per annum, and a fine at his lordship's pleasure.
1394, John Leyot, rector of the church of Derburth, came into court, and gave to John Hawke, clerk,
Deputy Steward, all his lands, tenements, and appurtenances, to give to Thomas Riding, vicar of Huyton,
and Richard Ince, Vicar of , and the said Vicars paid then relieves of the said lands and tenements.
1421, John Leyot, rector of Denforth, afterwards Dean of Chester, and parson of Malpas, produced a
letter of attorney of John Duke of Bedford, brother of King Henry V., by which it appeared that John
Leyot settled his lands on the Duke of Bedford, to avoid the Lord's Heriot ; and that William Kendall,
chaplain, officiating at Hale, was priest of the said John Leyot, which Leyot had purchased lands of Matthew
Pull, Richard Myda, Magot Martell, and also he purchased of Richard Crosse of Liverpool, two acres,
formerly the property of Adam de Crawton, son of Henry Danzale; and he at the same time purchased of
Sicily Shipman, a hail, &c. held in soccage, which the writer, William Ireland, son of Sir John Ireland,

knight, disliked very much this Leyot and his proceeding. W. Leyot claimed or made a mill, claimed a
right of fishery, and produced a writing under the name of Adam, granting the said fishery—Witness
John le Norrys, &c. &c. &c.
1428, on the death of Master John Leyot presented, that his heirs owe an Heriot, according to the
Custom of the Manor; he died 6th of Henry VI. he held of the Lord four messuages, and certain lands
and tenements in the village and in the fields of Hale.
It is further recorded, that John Leyot, Rector of Bangor, parson of Malpas, and Dean of Chester, in
his lifetime procured one man called John the mason, the Irishman, formerly one of those who built the
TOWER of Liverpool, for Sir John Stanley, knt.* and another person, viz. John the mason, a north country
man, who built the vault of Sir Henry Norris, knt. and they two—viz. John, and John the mason, built
the said John Leyot's tomb, in the middle of the chancel of the Chapel of Hale—viz. on Wednesday the
7th March, anno Henry VI. This John Leyot purchased at Hale a water mill, from Henry
Chernock, and employed Thomas Coley and Walsh, carpenters, from Malpas, to build it, 3d of Henry V.
anno 1424.
The following is handed to the editor as the inscription upon Leyot's tomb, which was removed when
the chapel was rebuilt, about 1758 :—

Greggon's 330rtfolio of fragments:
Chilt of #alt.
JoHN MIDDLETON, CHILD OF HALE, was born A.D. 1578, and buried in Hale churchyard, 1628; his
grave-stone is still to be seen. He was of a prodigious size. Sir Gilbert Ireland, knt. about 1617, took him
up to the court of James I., where he wrestled with the king's wrestler, and put out his thumb, by which
awkwardness he disobliged the courtiers, and was sent back, the King giving him, as it is said, £20. He
returned by Brazenose College, Oxford, which was full of Lancashire students, and where his picture was
taken, and now exists. A likeness of this English giant is also preserved at High Leigh, and one at Hale.
His size is thus mentioned in Platt's History of Staffordshire —“John Middleton, commonly called the
Child of Hale, in Lancashire: his hand from the carpus to the end of the middle finger was 17 inches long,
his palm 8% inches broad, and his whole height 9 feet 3 inches, wanting but 6 inches of the height of
}oliah, if that in Brazenose College Library, drawn at length, as it is said, in his just proportions, be a true
piece of him. -
On comparing these dimensions with the picture now at Hale, they were found to be an exact measure-
ment. Some years ago, when the late Mr. Bushell was parish clerk and school-master, the thigh bones, or os
femoris, were taken up from the earth, and were observed to reach from the hip of a man of common size
to his foot.—There was only one place in which he could stand upright in the cottage which he inhabited
at Hale. The cottage now remains; and his bed-posts, of a very uncommon size, were very lately to be
seen. A descendant of his, Charles Chadwick, was living in 1804, and was above 6 feet high.

and two Water Bailiffs yearly, to guard his rights; they are chosen at the Court Leet and Baron, held on

which is now commuted for the whole caught on Friday in every week.]

fell in over the side of the canoe, and was drowned (to whose soul God be merciful); upon which it was
presented that divers goods therein named were delivered by Roger Robinson, the bailiff, to Henry Pogleden,
father of John, to keep to the use of the said Lord, as wrecks of the sea ; and shortly after a frigate or
Royal Boat was cast on shore, and seized as a wreck of the sea. A person was taken up opposite Oglet,

4” ºf "tº THE Hutt or Haut is distant from Hale about one mile and a half, and was formerly
the residence of the Irelands, Lords of Hutt, Hale, and Halewood, as before remarked.
That the Hutt was a building of some importance is evident from the few remains which
now exist—the massive stack of kitchen chimneys, the large stone transome window-frame,
the ancient chimney-piece, and an upper range of windows, of similar dimensions, that
were remaining a few years ago (1805), all tend to testify the consequence of this edifice.
… .ºn. It is said that the great hall was 100 feet long and 30 feet wide. The whole, except
Pedigree. the outbuildings, was surrounded by a moat, over which was a bridge, most probably a
drawbridge, of the description used in ancient times. The gatehouse is of far more modern date than the
very ancient hall. This building, like Speke Hall, lies low, but, if it be possible, is more secluded; in a flat
country, surrounded with a vast quantity of wood, and no public road passing near it, its situation is suited
to the hostile times in which it was built, when this part of the country was subjected to the incursions of
the Scots, whom the English, in their turn, ravaged to their capital.
Halewood and Halebank are returned in one assessment, under the title of Halewood, and Hale is kept
separate and distinct. The two former townships together contain 3704 acres and 11 perches of land.
family of the #}ollants of #}alciugon, &c.
This township, adjoining Hale, formerly belonged to Sir Robert de Hol-
land, as before noted, now partly to John Blackburne, Esq., by descent, and
partly to the Right Honourable the Earl of Derby, by grant of Henry VII.
The family of Holland appears to have been of some consequence at a very
early period. It has been a common mistake of genealogists to mix up the
Lancashire Hollands with a distinct family of the same name springing from
Lincolnshire. Sir William Dugdale fell into this error, and it found its
way into the first edition of this work. -
Up-Holla ND.—Up-Holland, in West Derby Hundred, was the place
from which the Lancashire Hollands took their name. Sir Robert de Hol-
land, Knt., who lived in the time of Henry III., was lord of Up-Holland,
- and acquired Hale by his marriage with Cecily, daughter and heir of Alan
de Columbers. She survived her first husband, and married, secondly, John de Wolfal (Lancashire Fines,
No. 178, 56 Henry III.). Thurston de Holland succeeded as son and heir. From his younger brother
Richard descended the long line of Holand of Sutton, erroneously treated by the heralds as a branch from
Clifton. Another brother, Adam, took to wife a daughter of Bussell of Euxton, which estate was
carried by Jane, an heiress, fourth in descent from Adam, to the family of Molyneux.
Thurstan de Holand was twice married, and had several sons, one of whom, Sir William, had Sharples
by grant from Roger de Sharples, 1 Edward I. The eldest son by the first wife, daughter and heir to
Adam de Kellet, was Robert de Holand, who, by a co-heiress of William de Samlesbury, was father to Sir
Robert de Holand, Knt., who flourished in the reigns of the first and second Edwards, and of two younger
sons, Adam and William.
The first person of whom any considerable mention is made, was the above named Robert de Holland,
Knt., who, according to Dugdale and some other authorities, was the son of John, and grandson of



208 (ſºreggon's 330rtfolio of jragments:
Ingelram de Holland; but there are other authorities, as we have already seen, which deduce him somewhat
differently. In the 31 Edward I. Mr. Shaw says he was in the wars of Scotland, and was afterwards
Secretary to the Earl of Lancaster. In the l Edward II. he obtained from the King a grant in fee of the
manors of Melburn and Swarkston, in the county of Derby, with divers privileges thereto, and the fifth
year of the same reign was appointed Governor of Beeston Castle in Cheshire. Two years after, having
married Maud, one of the daughters and co-heirs of Alan Lord Zouch, of Ashby-de-la-Zouch, in Leicester-
shire, he had several manors in Northamptonshire, Herefordshire, and Oxfordshire assigned to him, and in
the same year was summoned to appear at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, well fitted with horse and arms to restrain
the incursions of the Scots. -
Being in great favour with the Earl of Lancaster, he bestowed upon him for his great services the
manors of Holland, West Derby, and Samlesbury, Childwall Church, and extensive tracts of land in the
hundreds of Derby, Salford, Leyland, and Blackburn, in this county, and the honor of Pontefract in
Yorkshire, which were afterwards confirmed to him by the King, and had summons to Parliament as a
Baron from the 8th to the 14th of this reign ; but afterwards behaving unfaithfully with his Lord, Thomas
Earl of Lancaster, in the insurrection raised by him, he incurred such hatred among the people for his

º a eldest son, who, doing his homage, had livery of all his father's lands. His heir general
married Sir John Lovell, afterwards Lord Lovell, of Tichmarsh. Thomas, another son,
was one of the first founders of the Garter, and Earl of Kent in right of his wife Joane,
sister and heir of John, and daughter of Edward Plantagenet Earl of Kent, younger son
of Edward I., who for her admirable beauty was called “The fair maid of Kent” (she was
afterwards the wife of Edward the Black Prince, and mother of King Richard II.), by
whom she was progenitor to the Hollands, Earls of Kent and Dukes of Surrey, and also
to the Earls of Huntingdon and Dukes of Exeter of that name, who were not more illus-
trious for their titles of honour than their frequent intermarriages with the royal family, as may be seen in
the historical accounts of those eminent peers, and as will be seen in the Genealogy of John of Gaunt,
facing fol. 12, and Union of York and Lancaster, facing fol. 46.

The Holands of Denton are deduced in old pedigrees from William, a supposititious fifth son of the
first Baron Holand; but in truth they sprang from Thurstan, a son of Sir William de Holand of Sharples
by Margaret of Shoresworth. Richard, son of Thurston, married the heiress of Kenyon. At length they
were seated at Heaton, in the parish of Prestwich, and in the year 1684, Elizabeth, the only daughter of
William Holland, Esq. of that place, married Sir John Egerton, then of Farthinghoe, in the county of
Northampton, Bart. She, by the death of her brother Edward Holland, which happened soon after-
wards, became heir general of this branch of the family, and her husband, the great-grandfather of the late
Earl of Wilton, became possessed in her right of all her property in Denton, Heaton, &c., which by the
death of the Earl of Wilton has since passed into the Grosvenor family, the Earl of Grosvenor having
married Eleanor his daughter and heir, and the title, under the limitations of the patent of creation, has
devolved on Thomas Grosvenor, Esq., second son of the Earl of Grosvenor, now a minor, he having been
born in December 1799. In the township of Denton there is an old chapel (under the established church)
built of wood and plaster, of which Richard Holland, Esq. of Denton, was founder, in the year 1531.
From the Hollands of Denton branched the Hollands of Clifton, in the parish of Eccles (acquired by
marriage with a Trafford), where they resided for a considerable time, and from them branched the Hollands
of Rhodes, which is separated from Clifton only by the river Irwell. William, the son of Lawrence, and
grandson of Thurstan Holland, by Jane, the daughter of John Arderne (as the name was then written) of
Harden Hall, near Stockport, lived in Clifton in the time of Henry VIII. and Edward VI., and married
Alice the daughter of Orskell Werden, of Leyland, by whom he had several sons, one of which, named
William, married Jane, daughter and co-heir of Parre of Rhodes, and died in 1603, leaving two sons,
Richard and Edward Holland. From Richard lineally descended Judith, daughter and heir of William Hol-
land of Rhodes, Gent., who died in 1739-40. She married James Watson, Esq. of Swinton, in the parish of
Eccles, and afterwards of Stockport in Cheshire, by whom she had a numerous issue, and having survived her
husband, died in September 1799. Holland Watson, Esq., her eldest son, for his well-known loyalty and
activity in endeavouring to stop the progress of disaffection, was appointed Major Commandant of a corps of
volunteers raised at Stockport in the year 1794, of which he retained the command until the corps were
disembodied in 1802, soon after the conclusion of peace. He is a Justice of the Peace for the counties of
Chester and Lancaster, and is possessed of one moiety of the Rhodes estate, where his mother's ancestor
resided after his marriage with Parre's daughter; the other moiety, until very lately, was in the possesion of
the descendants of Mr. John Fox. The old hall was formerly surrounded by a moat, and was anciently the
seat of a person of the name of Rhodes, whose only daughter and heir married Parre above named,
who at his death left only two daughters. Concerning this estate there is a tradition that Rhodes,
being seized of it in fee, and it lying within the manor of Pilkington, then belonging to Sir John Pilk-
ington, he applied to Rhodes to purchase it; but Rhodes, being unwilling to part with it, refused to sell. The
estate is of considerable length, and is bounded by the river Irwell for more than a mile, and at the extremity
of the land stood a cow-house, which Rhodes made use of to feed and shelter young cattle in during the winter,
| Catharine Parr, wife of Henry VIII., was born in this county; as was Parr, Bishop of the Isle of Man.

but at other times it was disused. Into this building, it is said, Sir John ordered some of his own cattle
to be put and locked up, giving out that they were stolen, and offering a reward for
them. Some time passed before they were discovered, but at length, as had been
concerted, Sir John's people found them in the cowhouse, and proceedings at law were
immediately commenced against Rhodes for this pretended robbery. He attempted to
defend himself, but the fact of the cattle being locked up in his building being notorious,
and the presumption of his being privy, if not a principal in the concealment, being
considered as strong evidence against him, he was at length induced to enter into terms
of accommodation with Sir John, which caused the loss of his inheritance.
Sir John was afterwards in rebellion and forfeited his manor of Pilkington : this, in
those days, was considered as a just judgment, and inflicted upon him for his treacherous
dealing with Rhodes. The manor was afterwards given to the Derby family by the
Crown, in lieu of possessions which one of the Earls of Derby had lost by following the
fortune of his sovereign. The inheritance of this estate now belongs to the Earl of
Derby, under whom it is held by leases for lives.
Edward Holland, the second son of William by Parre's daughter, sold his annuity charged on the
Rhodes estates to his elder brother Richard above named, and purchased land in Chorlton, near Man-
chester, which William his only son sold, and then purchased an estate in Mobberley, in the county of
Chester, which is now in the possession of Mr. John Holland, descended from the above Edward. Mr.
Peter Holland, an eminent surgeon at Knutsford, is the eldest son of Mr. Samuel Holland, late of Sandall
Bridge, within Mobberley, another descendant of this branch of the family, whose eldest son Henry was
for some time physician to the Princess of Wales, and was in her suite when she went abroad. He wrote
the Agricultural Survey of Cheshire, and accompanied Sir George Mackensie in his tour to Iceland.
Another branch, from the Denton stock, of this ancient and highly respectable family,
long resided in Norfolk, being descended from Brian Holland, of Denton, Esq., whose son
John was father of another Brian, who married Catharine, daughter and co-heir of Peter
Payne, Esq., and had by her John Holland of Wortwell, in Norfolk, whose son Thomas was
of Quidenham, and knighted, and by his first wife Mary, daughter of Sir Thomas Knivet,
had two sons, John and Edward. John, the eldest son, was created a Baronet 5th Charles
I., and having lived to his 98th year, died 19th January 1701, and by Alathia, daughter
and co-heir of John Panton, of Bruensop, in Denbighshire, relict of William Lord Sandys,
of the Wine, in Hampshire, he had issue a daughter, Abigail, married to Jacob, eldest son
of Sir Thomas Gerrard, of Longford, in Norfolk, Baronet, and Thomas Holland, who died before him, and
was father of Sir John Holland, Baronet, who succeeded his grandfather, and was comptroller of the
household and of the privy council to Queen Anne ; he married Lady Rebecca, daughter of William
Paston, Earl of Yarmouth, by whom he had two daughters, Isabella Diana and Charlotte, and a son
William, who succeeded to the title and estate, and married Mary, daughter of Arthur Upton, merchant,
but leaving no issue, his sisters became his heirs.
The first named Brian had another son, Edward Holland of Glassthorpe, in Derbyshire. He was the
grandfather of Philemon Holland, D.D., the great translator, who was born about the year 1551.

Robert Ireland, his son, was in great favour with King John about 1215.
(9) Johannes de Ireland, miles, married Matilda or Maude, daughter and sole heir of Johannes Hesketh, miles, who died young,
and left his daughter and heiress under the care of his brother, who gave her in marriage to Sir J. Ireland, with a great sum of money;
This match was arranged by the Abbot of Chester and others, who received
annually from the Irelands the sum of £10 as a reward for their services on that occasion—a circumstance by no means uncommon
in those days, but certainly a large sum.
The wife of the great Sir Gilbert Ireland (of whom we have spoken as having married the daughter of Sir Thomas Ireland,
of Bewsey, Warrington, Poolton, and Holme, &c., Knt.) survived him but one month, and left no issue, but conveyed all her fortune
to Richard Atherton, Esq. of Atherton, which Atherton's name in Lancashire in this line ends in Anne Maria, daughter and heiress

214 (ſºreggon'g 330rtfolio of fragments:
On the Embankment of the Shores of the Mersey.
Much improvement has been made in Lancashire within these few years by draining the mosses and low
lands. The most remarkable scenes of these experiments are Trafford, Chatmoss, Martin Meer, and Sefton
Meadows, all in the south of the county, and certain embankments in the north. The improvement, too, of the
river Alt, under the direction of a number of commissioners, has proved very advantageous to the owners, and
beneficial to the country, by affording employment to the poor, and bringing land into a state of cultivation,
which was before nearly useless. The improvements effected on the estate of the late Mr. Wilkinson at Castle
Head, at and under his direction, and on those of Messrs. Stockdale and Towers, near Ulverston, are well deserving
of notice. We are surprised that similar exertions have not been used higher up the river than Liverpool, at
which latter place there is land, at this day embanked, which was sold a hundred years ago (when it formed the
strand of the river above the duke's dock) at the rate of £100 for twenty acres, or 180,000 square yards;
but which has, since its inclosure from the sea, brought two guineas and more per square yard, or at the rate of
360,000 guineas for the whole ; and this is but a trifling part of the quantity which the corporation of
Liverpool have inclosed and are inclosing from the river Mersey, for the docks, timber-yards, building, and other
purposes. - - • •
It seems to be the interest of the proprietors of the lands bordering on the shores of the Mersey to make
embankments, and to gain the land that would ultimately pay all the expense. Such undertakings have been
effected in Holland, and even in the river Dee. Andrew Yarrington, in his work entitled “England's Improvement
by Sea and Land,” says, “being sent for to survey the river Dee in 1674, I proposed to make that river
navigable to Bangor, and also to gain (or embank) three thousand acres of land from the river Dee. This proposal
astonished many people at the time ; the project, however, has since been accomplished, and a great extent of good
and profitable land been gained. Much may, with equal facility, be gained by good engineers from the river
Mersey; beginning at the point above Cuerdley, and gradually contracting the channel until it reaches the gap at
Runcorn ; from thence, a little below Runcorn gap, embank the marsh at and before Ditton, down to Hale point ;
extend Hale point by a cheveronal, to form a proper and deep channel in the river, and pursue the embankment
down to Speke point, to Garston point, or even to Knot's Hole. Opposite the Dungeon two miles of land in
breadth might be inclosed before the present salt-works, where the river is fordable at low-water. This would
give room to make a dock for those works which might be established on the new ground, and for a railway for
the salt and coal, or a canal might be cut to come up to the present spot ; and a dock and flood-gates
constructed to wash the filth from the passage at low-water, if no run of water could be diverted to answer this
purpose. Perhaps few country gentlemen would feel desirous of embarking in these speculations ; but they
might be induced to lease their liberty for a given number of years, at a low rent, to a company of adventurers,
acting under a commission, or under an act of Parliament, empowering them, as a chartered company, under
certain conditions, and with due interest of the present proprietors, to raise funds by shares, for the carrying on
this desirable improvement, and employment of the poor; the rents to increase every fifty years, or other
stipulated time, according to a maximum on the value of corn at Michaelmas day, or at some other fixed period,
or an average of three or seven years previous. Cuts, recesses, or docks might be made all along the river,
where there is a run of water into the Mersey, to assist the farmer in bringing up and discharging his manure, or
shipping goods, &c.
Extract from Andrew Yarrington's work, above alluded to, fol. 191.
“In the month of July 1674, I was prevailed with by a person of honour to survey the river Dee, running
by the city of Chester into the Irish sea, and finding the river choked with the sands that a vessel of twenty tuns
could not come to that noble city, and the ships forced to lye at Neason, in a very bad harbour, whereby the ships
receive much damage, and trade made so uncertain and chargeable, that the trade of Chester is much decayed, and
gone to Leverpool; and that old great city in danger of being ruin'd, if the river Dee be not made navigable by
Act of Parliament, and ships brought to the city. I have formerly drawn a map of the New River to be made to
bring up the ships to the city side, which map was presented to the Duke of York by the Lord Windsor and
Colonel Warden, and therein the reasons are inserted how it may be done, and the advantage it will be to trade
and the city also. The map is now at Chester in the keeping of the Mayor. His Highness the Duke of York
was pleased to promise the recommending of it to the Parliament for the making it navigable. And if it were
made to Chester navigable by a new cut, as is in the map prescribed, there would be three thousand acres of land
gained out of the sea, and made rich land, besides the coles from Aston will be brought to the city of Chester by
water, which now are brought by land, and all goods and other things carried and recarried from England to
Ireland, and from Ireland into England, with much less charge than now it is, * And Dee being made navigable
to Bangor bridge, will be a means to make the river Severne helpful to convey all goods to London, by sending it
down the river Severne, and up the river Avon, and so down the Thames to London ; whereby much moneys will
be saved and trade advanced. The river Dee must be taken up with a very strong wear, over against the Water
Gate of the city of Chester, and so the river Dee must be carried in a large cut or trench through the lands
below Alderman Wright's house, along the sands as far as Flint Castle, and then dropt by a large cut into the deep
water below the Brewhouse. There must also be a cut drawn along the Welch shore, and so from Aston pits, and
dropt into the main trench, thereby the waste water that comes from the hills and mountains will be voided, and
the coles that are now carried by land to Chester will then be carried by water, and at least £1000 per ann. Saved
in carriage ; this trench must be very large, that two ships may sail one by the other, and the sea banks must be
made very firm and strong, not upright, but very much sloaping. There must also be made five very strong locks
or sluices of stone, which is there very necessary, at the end of the trench. This will be done for £15,000. The
river Dee, being let down upon a sudden through the great trench, will cause the sands to fly and deepen
the channel, and thereby make the harbour safe, and help to open and deepen the bar. But it must be done
when the tyde is going out, and when the wind bloweth hard at east, with a strong fresh of water coming off
the mountains.”
* This curious book was printed in London in 1677. The title is “How to out-do the Dutch without fighting ; to pay debts
without money; to set at work all the poor of England with the growth of our own lands,” &c. &c. &c. This gentleman travelled
in Holland, and was an acute observer. He strongly recommended the use of clover crops, and imported from Holland great
quantities of clover-seed, as we learn by his book, fol. 156, and was one of the first that brought it into much use in England.

#}alsall Church amt $chool, 3Lancashirt.
THE Parish Church of Halsall is an ancient and noble pile, with columns, aisles, Gothic pillars, and arches,
which impose a kind of awful reverence upon most people, particularly when assembled for divine worship: it appears
to have been rebuilt previous to the Reformation, probably temp. Hen. VI. having its piscina and other reliques of the
Romish church. On the north side of the chancel, under an arch, is a recumbent prelate, probably the monument of the
founder ; and on the opposite side, projecting from under a similar arch, to correspond with the other, is a monument
of a military knight, one of the Halsalls, and his lady, a Stanley, whose families intermarried three times or more.
Sir Hugo Halsall married a daughter of Gilbert Scarisbrick of Scarisbrick, and Richard his predecessor married
a Tempest of Bracewell, whose son, Sir Henry Halsall, Knt., married Margaret, daughter of James Stanley, clerk,
whose son, Sir Thomas Halsall, Knt., married Jane, daughter and heiress of Sir John Stanley, Knt. of Honford, base
brother of the first Earl of Derby; and a descendant of the Halsalls in the person of Sir Cuthbert again married
into the base line of this noble family." The main line married into the Molyneux, Barlows, and other respectable
and honourable families; and the females to the Ogles, Irelands, Torbockes, &c.; and by the pedigree in the Heralds'
College [C 37] I further learn that the females connected themselves with the Holmes, the Ecclestons of Eccleston,
and in one pedigree, of two daughters, said to be of Sir Thomas or Hugo and Jane Stanley, the one was married to
Gabriel Hesketh, and the other to one of the Osbaldestones; but in all the pedigrees of this family, not a second
HALSALL. son is named, except he inherited his brother's estates. SCARISBRICK.
The pedigree begins temp. Henry III., and we have added one to the
number of generations, which makes fourteen to sixteen down to Sir Cuthbert
Halsall, Knt. He had two daughters who survived their father; one was
married 1613, at which period the pedigree ends. Thus ended the main line
of the ancient family of Halsall of Halsall, as per pedigrees by William Smith,
Rouge Dragon, by the Visitation of 1598, brought down to 1613, signed by
Folios 17, 229, 243, the said Sir Cuthbert”—viz. Ann or Elizabeth Halsall, daughter and co-
heiress of Sir Cuthbert, to Thomas Clifton, sonne of Cuthbert Clifton of Westbye : the other, Bridget, daughter and
co-heiress, was married to Thomas, the eldest son of Sir Thomas Crompton, Knt., LL.D., Judge of the High Court
of Admiralty, and also Vicar-general to the Archbishop of Canterbury, Chancellor to the Bishop of London, and
Advocate for Queen Elizabeth and King James I. ; this Sir Thomas was interred in the parish of St. Gregory by
St. Paul's, London; he died 4th March, 1641, aged 72. The last paragraph I find described on a large monument
erected in the Parish Church at Stafford, which I first saw in the year 1803, and is now remaining; the copy was
taken a few months since by my friend, T. Mottershaw, Esq. of Silkmore House, late High Sheriff for Stafford.
The Parish of Halsall contains several townships—viz. Lidiate, Maghull, and Melling, and the hamlet of Snape,
which is rated to the tythes alternately every other year ; the measurement of each, at this day, is as follows:-

The rectory was rated, tempo Queen Anne, at £24 : 11 : 5% ; tythes, £2: 10: 14 ; synods and prox, 12s. ;
ballivo, £3 : 6:8: Maghall, besides £20 by the Rector, É5 certified value ; Melling (Holy Rood) #28, 10s. certi-
fied value:—the Rector charged for both. In Lucas MS. I find, about 1740, the rectory was valued at £400 a year.
In Dom-Boc we see that “ Chetel held Haleshale; there are two carucates of land; it was worth eight shillings.
Teos held Bartune; there is one carucate of land; it was worth thirty-two pence.—A. One hide of land in Haleshall
was free from payment of Dame-geld.”
“ Uctred held Leiate; there are six bovates of land, and a wood one mile long and two quarentens broad ; it
was worth sixty-four pence.”—C.
“Two Thanes, held six bovates of land for two manors in Holand: the value was two shillings.”—B.
“Godeme held Melinge; there are two carucates of land, and a wood one mile long and half a mile broad ; it
was worth ten shillings.”—E.
“ Uctred held Magele (Maghull), Achetun (Aughton), and other manors.”—D."
In Testa de Nevill, the next book to be depended upon after Dom-Boc, the first account we find is (Appendix) that
the Count de Ferrars held Halsall, &c., and that William de Walton and William de Lydyath held Lydyate and Haker-
gart by military service, as a tenth part of a Knight's fee (idem); and that Richard Blundell held Hyms (Ince) and
Barton by the same service. Before when, temp. Randolph, we find that Simon de Halsale held Maghale as twentieth
part of a Knight's fee in military service under Earl Ferrars, after the year 1232. We here quote the following
paragraph from Testa de Nevill, fol. 396 —“Feoda heredis com’ LINCOLN' in DERBIsIR’.” “Simo de Halsale tenet
ricesima quarta pte. militis in MAGHALE de dCo, feodo.” Further, folio 402, “ Inquisicio comitatus LANCASTR’.”
“Idem Pagan' dedit unam carucata in WYDHILLE et unam caruc' HASSALE Viriano Gernet in maritag' cu. Emma fi!'
sua p. swic' militar un’ x carucate faciut feodu unt’ militis et modo tenet Alan' fl' Alani de Robto. de Wylers Pram de
WYNDHILLE.” Et Alan’ fi!' Simon’ Pram de HASSALE de pâco. Robto. p. pdcm. swic'.”
This and some other paragraphs prove that Simon was father of Alane, and that he was father of another Simon
the son of Alane. The various pedigrees name only one Simon ; this proof adds one more generation to this
family, whose pedigree is best and most fully set forth in the College of Arms (C 37); other accounts may be seen
in the Harleian MSS.”
Previous to these times, anno 1050, Edward the Confessor held Magele and Leiate. At the time of Hen. III.
the wood of West Derby extended from Sankey down to Bartune. In Dom-Boc, Uctred is stated to have held more
land than any other Lord ; but whether he were a Saxon or Norman is now doubtful.
For the further history of the distribution and change of property in this parish, see Testa de Nevill,” and a
copy of Birche's MSS. before quoted in the Fragments."
In the Monum Inquisitiones in Curia Saccarii, temp. Edward III., I find the report of HALSAL parish (printed
1807) as follows:—“Unde ecclia tax' ad xv mr' ver' valor none garbaz vellez et agnoz poch' ejusdm. xix. mr.
unde villat' de Halsal de vi mr iiijs vº, medietas de Snape de vis vº, Dounholand de xxxijº, Lydyate de ls viij",
Maghel de xxixs ij", Mellyng de lºviij" respond'.” The Commissioners appointed for this business, as Assessors in
the CoM' LANC', were Abbas de Fourness, Edmundus de Neville, Ricardus de Houghton, and Johes de Radeclyve.
Birkenhead ABBEY owned lands in Mellynge, which were sold after the Reformation (see Harleian MSS. No.
607, art. 54)—viz. “Mellynge infra parochiam de Halsey; Newsham et Liverpoole infra parochiam de Walton, in Co.
Lancaster, parcell of the possessions upper monastery de Birkenhead in Com' Cester, rated 26th day of June, 1557,
for Robt. Bolton :” Which Bolton, who purchased the same, was ancestor of Thomas Molyneux, Esq., the present
worthy possessor of Newsham House, in the ancient Hamlet of Newsham, near Liverpool (on the road leading from
Liverpool to Derby Chapel). The said Bolton made some cheap purchases of Lands in Mellynge, valued at the same
time by the Commissioners appointed, when the Croxteth family purchased Altcar for a small sum compared to its
present value. About this time all the waste lands in Liverpool were sold ; the frontage to the river; all the land
south of the common shore, now Paradise Street, and Frog Lane, now Whitechapel; the west of Shaw's Brow and
Folly Lane, now Islington, as far as the liberty extends ; besides other portions of land, all of which were sold for
equally trifling prices." -
The Grammar School, which is on the south side, and at the west end, was built and endowed by Edward
Halsall : I cannot find this person named in the pedigree before quoted ; but as no second son is introduced, there
is little doubt that he was a branch of that family. Fuller says, in his Worthies of England," which work was
written soon after,-" Edward Halsall, Esq., in the County of Lancaster, sometime Chamberlyne of the Exchequer
Court in the City of Chester, founded a FREE GRAMMAR School in Halsall, and endowed it with a competent revenue
for the maintenance of a School Master there for ever.”
The above named Edward Halsall left twelve pounds per annum, for the poor of the parish, secured also on
certain of his estates in the several townships of Eccleston, Sutton, and Ditton, in the parish of Prescot. He twice
served the office of Mayor of Liverpool—namely, in 1579 and 1586 ; he was recorder of the same town in 1572, and
died in 1593, aged 76. At this period it was usual to choose a gentleman, or occasionally a nobleman in the neigh-
bourhood of the town, for Mayor, there being few inhabitants capable of holding the situation ; among these we
do not find any name more frequently than More and Norris ; there are likewise Sir Thomas Stanley, Knt. ; Sir
Thomas Hesketh, Knt. ; Sir R. Molyneux, Knt. ; Ferdinand Lord Strange ; Robert Berry,” brought into the Council
by the Mores; the Earls of Derby, and their relations often ; the last Mayor of that family was the Right Honour-
able James, Earl of Derby, in 1734. He entertained in the Old Tower at the bottom of Water Street, and died in
1736 ; this last building of any antiquity is levelled to the ground (a print is given, page 161). It was used, after
the earl quitted it, as an assembly-room, and lastly as a gaol.”
1 It is not said what Uctred's lands were worth, which were six manors—viz. Roby, Knowsley, Kirkby, Crosby, Maghull, and
Aughton. We value Maghull the same as Lidiate.—Edit.

Arms. – Edit. * Nos. 1437, 1549, 2042, 2068, 6.159, &c. &c.

James Earl of Derby was the most liberal patron of the Arts in Lancashire at that time ; he employed a Lan-
cashire artist, Hamlet Winstanley, and sent him abroad to purchase paintings; at which time, the principal part of
that noble collection now at Knowsley, was formed, which contains fine specimens of many of the old masters: this
artist etched the portrait of the Earl, which is now presented;" it was finished by Gutch, one of the celebrated
Engravers of his day in England. This nobleman, like some promoters of the Arts in modern times, opened his
gallery freely to students, and some from Liverpool went there to draw ; which information I received from the late
Jonathan Brooks, Esq., whose father was Mayor of Liverpool in 1743; he studied there, and shewed me, about
1786, an architectural drawing that he made from his Lordship's collection : it was this Mr. Brooks who so actively
devoted his time to the Poor-house and the Parish concerns for so many years.

ſłłelling Chapel.
There are two Chapels of Ease under Halsall—viz. Maghull, where the Rev. George Holden, A.M., officiates
as Curate, he is also in the Commission of Peace : the other is the Chapelry of Melling, served by the Rev.
Chester, who is Master of a School at Crosby, founded by one Harrison, a native of this County, he was of the
Merchant Tailors' Company of London ; in this Chapelry is a Hamlet called Cunscough, which so long since as 1567
was called Heathen Land-Wide Lidiate's pedigree, folio 222. In Melling Chapel are many memorials of the Bootle
family; it is now the property of Bootle Wilbraham, Esq. Heskayne is a Hamlet in this Township, and Hekergart
in Lidiate. Mossoke was a noted family in Cunscough.
In 1730 Mr. John Plumbe of Downholland, gave £10 to the Church of Halsall, to buy a silver flaggon and
patten, and also £20 for the use of the Poor of the Township ; and in 1818 Robert Watkinson, yeoman of Halsall,
gave by Will £200 to the Poor of the same Township. There are many other bequests printed on the tables hung
round the Church. -
In Lidiate is the ruin of an Abbey, the outer walls of which are entire ; it is a matter of doubt whether it was
ever completed, and we regret that it is not converted into a place of worship. The Leeds and Liverpool Canal
enters the Parish in this Township, and takes a northerly direction for about ten miles, with many gentle windings
in its course; it shortly after reaches Scarisbrick bridge, where the passengers from Manchester and Wigan meet
with those from Liverpool; here numerous carriages await their arrival, and daily convey those who are destined to
the sea-bathing town of Southport, a place highly esteemed for its mild and salubrious air and dry sandy situation,
united with the advantages of an open shore below the mouth of the Ribble. The manners of the inhabitants about
Melling, we mean those of the lower order, seem no better civilised than those of Cunscough were upwards of two
hundred and sixty years ago; for whilst the draftsman was making a sketch of the Chapel, he was beset by several
men who came as fierce as bull-dogs, and actually drove him from his seat and his employment in a savage and
brutal manner.

The Church of Halsall is now undergoing great repairs; the north wall is almost completely rebuilt, in a style
not unsuitable though greatly superior to the rest of the building, which the judicious architect has adopted.
The much-respected Bishop of the Diocese, who has undertaken to visit every Church and Chapel under his
jurisdiction, and has already seen many, annongst which, under the Church Committee, and with the assistance of
the respective parishioners, the sittings in Churches have already been increased 3000 for the comparatively small
sum of £1500; it is under this idea that the alterations at Halsall are about to be effected. The Organ is a good
one, presented by the late Rector; the gallery surrounding it will be considerably enlarged, and a new one built.
This venerable and extensive Church is dedicated to St. Cuthbert ; on the north wall, amongst other matters,
is written as follows: “His praise in this Church be, who gave the seats so free, -
“His name if you would know, the mert words under show :
“HENRY HARKER,
“Late of London, Merchant Tailor, and now of this Parish.
“Henry Harker and Henry Harker, Church-wardens, 1620.”
The date of the oldest benefaction I can find is 1606 on the table. The earliest registers begin in 1606, when
Cuthbert Dodd is noted as baptized, as also Henry Harker, one of the former family, who afterwards resided in
Ormskirk (in which neighbourhood they have lands at this day), and one was of the Common Council in Liverpool
in 1686. About this time, 1606, by command of the Right Reverend Father in God, A. Frewin, Archbishop of
York, and Bishop of Coventry and Litchfield, at a visitation held by him at Ormskirk, the regular registers on
vellum were ordered and begun ; Henry Prescot and Robert Hesketh, Wardens.
Sir Cuthbert Halsall was twice High Sheriff—viz. in 1601 and 1612,
GERRARD. and Mayor of Liverpool in 1615 ; he sold the whole of his estate to Sir
Gilbert Gerrard, who was Attorney to Queen Elizabeth, and afterwards GERRARD OF BRYN.
created Lord Gerrard of Bromley;” one of this family married the daughter * = .
and heiress of Baron Dutton : the families of Gerrard of Bromley and
Gerrard of Brandon, Earls of Macclesfield, intermarried, so that the last of * Š
both these titles became extinct in 1701.” After some litigation in Chan- N.
cery,” it was determined that the Duke of Hamilton's family should have
the Barony of Dutton, &c.; and the Lord Mahon, afterwards Baron of
See 198, 201, & 238. Oakhampton, who had married Charlotte, daughter of Thomas Mainwar-
ing, Esq., County of Chester, had the Halsall estate ; after his death his
widow married ; she, being the niece of the late Chas. Lord Macclesfield,
carried the estates of Halsall to her second husband, Brigadier-general LOXHAYI.
Lewis Mordaunt,” third son of Lord and Baron Mordaunt, who was brother
to the first Earl of Peterborough. Sir Egerton Bridges differs with Ed-
mondson” about the issue ; he says, it was by his second wife, Anne,
daughter of Wiscount Howe, that he had issue three sons, Charles Lewis
Mordaunt, who died at Ormskirk, January 15, 1808, aged 78 ;7 Robert,
Lieutenant-general, who died in 1809, aged 79 ; and Harry, of whom no
BI, UNDELL. further mention is made, but amongst the Rectors he is there called tº
Henry Mordaunt, he died in 1778, by a fall from his horse. Charles. Sº
Lewis Mordaunt afterwards sold the presentation to a friend of the Rev."
Glover Moore, who had been a Curate of Liverpool; and after that he
(Charles Lewis Mordaunt) sold the presentation to Jonathan Blundell, Esq.
of Liverpool, and also the perpetual advowson of the Rectory. This Lewis
afterwards sold all his estate of Halsall to the father of the present
Thomas Scarisbrick, Esq., then Eccleston of Eccleston, Esq. Jonathan
Blundell gave the advowson to his son Thomas Blundell, A.M., who en-
joyed the living 7 or 8 years, and left the advowson to his two sisters, or, gutty and bend gules

Of the family of Plumbe, one in our time (in the Law) resided in Liverpool, and owned the lands on which
Plumbe Street is built ; he had two sons, the elder, Captain Thos. Plumbe, married Elizabeth Tempest, the daughter
of John Tempest, son of Sir George Tempest of Tong Hall, Ebor, by whom he had a numerous family. This
Thomas resided some time at Wavertree, and afterwards was of Tong Hall. John, the second son and heir, now
(1823) Colonel of the 1st Regiment of Royal Lancashire Militia, succeeded, and married Sarah Plumbe, his own
cousin, daughter of the Rev. William Plumbe, formerly Rector of Aughton, and by her has a numerous family.”
The said John Plumbe, Esq. is Lord of the Manor of Aughton, owner of most of the lands, and of the advow-
son and living of the Parish Church of Aughton, of which a view is given with this. The present Rector is the

LYDIATE ABBEY is an interesting ruin of a Gothic building which seems never to have been completed. Its
date is in the reign of Henry VIII, when the Reformation probably suspended the labours of its Catholic builders.
The walls, covered with ivy, are yet in good condition, but it is clearly discernible that they never received a roof.
The neighbourhood still abounds with Catholic families, and mass is regularly performed in the Old Hall,
where a priest, we believe, has successively resided from the time of Henry VIII. The Lady Anderton was buried
within the walls of the Abbey, and a marble slab covered her remains. The Andertons who owned the Abbey last
had, as well as the Irelands, several sons brought up priests in the principles of the Church of Rome. It is said that
one of the Andertons published some theological works, for which he was exiled. His eloquence was so great, that
he was called ‘the golden-mouthed Anderton. After leaving Blackburne school he completed his education at Cam-
bridge, and was esteemed a learned Popish priest. More of this family may be seen in the Baronetage." Previously
to their possessing it, Lydiate had long been in the possession of the Irelands.
(The gall
was rebuilt, as we have already observed, in the style of Speke Hall, and finished, we presume, soon after the erection
of the latter. The initials of its rebuilder, Lawrence Ireland, are carved in ornamental letters on an oaken doorcase
in the house which was formerly in the inner court. The front of this hall was taken down about fifty years ago
by the late owner, Henry Blundell, Esq., to save the expense of a new roof, of which, however, he repented when
more advanced in years. Some of the doors which belonged to the front, and of great curiosity of carving, are to be
seen in several interior parts of the house. The hall, which remains, is 33 by 18 feet, and the groins of the ceiling
are decorated with fleurs de lis: no inappropriate device for the family—corresponding with their arms. This
family first used the same arms as the Irelands of Hale, with a proper mark for difference.”
There was in the house a model of a tench caught by Sir Francis Anderton, Bart. : it bore his initials—F. A.
1744. It was 20% inches long by 54 broad. A large achievement, like a funeral one, is also to be seen in this
hall: it bears the arms and crest of the Marquis of Worcester, Henry 20 Earl, quartering the arms of Earl Pem-
broke, 3dly Woodville Earl of Rivers, 1466: the 4th same as the 1st, or, and a fess gabony, ar, and az, France and
England quarterly.” (In the year 1805.)
Sir Francis Anderton, Bart., taking a lively interest in the cause of the Pretender, “was attainted, and the
manor, or reputed manor of Lostock, and divers other manors and lands in the county of Lancaster, to which the
Crown, by reason of the attainder of Francis Anderton, Esq. became entituled, during the life of the said Francis
Anderton, Esq., or until he should have a child born. In 1750 Francis Anderton was upwards of sixty years of
age, a widower, S.P.4 The names of the lessees were John Formby and John Knight, gentlemen, at the nomination
of Robert Blondell, Esq. for thirty-one years, determinable on the death of the said Francis Anderton, Esq., or on
his having a child born.”—Dated 8th April 1757. Thus being deprived of his Lostock as well as his Lydiate and
Yorkshire estates, he lived in retirement. His estates passed through family connections to the Blundells of Ince.
The Lords of Lydiate have been, successively, Lydiate, Blackburne, Ireland, Anderton, and Blundell, as will
appear in the following pedigree of this family —

is distant from Liverpool eight or nine miles north north-west. Lydiate is about ten miles north, and between it and Ince the
distance may be about three miles. The collection of antique sculpture at Ince Hall is an ornament to the county. It was formed
with as much assiduity as taste by the late Mr. Blundell, who erected an appropriate building for its exhibition, and published
a catalogue of the works, illustrated with engravings, for private distribution. An account of this collection may also be seen in
Britton's Beauties of England and Wales.]
It is said the family have been resident here, and lords thereof, from the time of the Conquest. Wm. Blum-
dell had his seat there in the reign of Henry III. ; from him it descended to Robert Blundell of Ince
Blundell, an eminent lawyer, and Bencher of Gray's Inn, whose son Henry Blundell, Esq., was living there
1665, and who, at Dugdale's visitation, had issue Robert, Henry, John, and Francis ; from whence the present

Charles Blundell, Esq. of Ince Blundell, is descended from the above family ; one of whose descendants
became Lord Blondell or Blundell, having been so created 5th August 1720 ; but the title became extinct
in 1756. One of the ancestors of Charles Blundell, Esq., married Margaret, the daughter of Hugh Anderton

About two miles from Ince Blundell is Sephton Church, which is well worth the attention of the antiquarian. Mr. Pennant,
in his Tour from Downing to Alston Moor, gives a short but interesting account of this and several places adjoining. One-half
of that book, indeed, relates to Lancashire.
Sephton parish comprises ten townships, and the population was, in 1811, 2852.” º &
The remains of the ancient and respectable mansion of the Molyneux, situated at Sephton, in the time of the Conqueror,
are no longer discernible ; but the site is occupied by a farm house. &
The church is dedicated to St. Helen. The PATRON is the Rev. R. R. Rothwell, M.A., who is also the present incumbent,
The advowson was purchased by his father, the late Rev. James Rothwell.
Sir Richard Molyneux, knt. (who married Frances, the daughter of Sir Gilbert Gerard of Sudbury, who was Master of the
Rolls), was the second Baronet created after the institution of that order, May 22d, 1611. Sir Richard, his son and successor, was
advanced by King Charles I. to the Peerage of Ireland 1628. The present Earl's father, Charles William Molyneux, conformed
to the Established Church March 5th, 1769, and was created Earl of Sephton, Wiscount Molyneux of Maryborough, 1771. The
family resides at Croxteth, about four miles from Liverpool.” Crocteth, it was before remarked, is extra-parochial : one house,
one family of twenty persons, was the whole population of that hamlet in 1811.

Little Crosby is situated nearer to Liverpool and to the sea than Ince-Blundell; it is well sheltered, and .
remarkable for the luxuriance of fine laurels. This was formerly the residence of the Williers, who were
great personages in Lancashire soon after the Conquest: 2d Henry II., one of them was Sheriff of the county,
an office at that period of very great importance. One of the Molineuxes married the daughter and heir of
the Williers's, and thereby acquired Little Crosby, as another of this family, we have seen, acquired Speke by
marriage. One of the Blondells marrying the heiress of one of the Molineuxes of Little Crosby, became
Blundell. possessed of Little Crosby (which has ever since remained in this Villiers.
family), and also obtained the arms of Williers and Molineux. Con- & v.
cerning this family many confirmations and grants will be found; Yº;
the founder, called OSBERTI, was in great favour with King John.' r §§ §§
Robert Fitz Osbert had half a carucate of land, he being receiver or ºš
bailiff of the manor of Crosby in the forest of Derbyshire, for º
which service the said land was granted to them.” By the arms

WHO WERE LORDS THEREOF.
Osbertus de Aynosdale, the first on record, had a son called Robert,” the son of Osbert de Aynosdale,
to whom JoHN, EARL MORETON, in the reign of Henry II., 1155, gave Great Crosby, to be his forester, and
confirmed the same when he was king of England. Roger, the son of Gilbert de Garston, gave to Roger,
the son of Osbert, brother to the aforesaid Robert, one bovate of land in Garston. This Robert was father
to Sir Adam de Aynosdale, to whom William de Ferrars, Earl of Derby, gave four bovates of land in Crosby,
which he held before by the service of stewardship, rendering 10s. per annum. The said Adam was witness
to a deed made to William, the son of Henry de Walton, concerning four bovates of land in Crosby, rent 10s.
Albrera, the daughter of Henry, the son of Matthew de Garston, in her widowhood gave to the said Adam,
the son of Robert de Aynosdale, one bovate of land in Garston with a fourth part of the fishing on the river
Mercy (Mersey), which bovate her father Henry had formerly given to Robert, the son of Osbert, father of
the aforesaid Adam de Aynosdale, paying the ancient rent of 7%d. Richard, the son of Hugh Parvi, resigned
to Adam, the son of Robert de Aynosdale and his heirs, one acre of land in Little Crosby.—Robert, the son
of Adam de Aynosdale, called Sir ROBERT BLUNDELL DE CROSBY, gave to Allan, the son of Allan Noras
(Norreys), all his land in Walton, and in Dale, and in Breck, and in Bold, for 6 marks which Allan lent
him. 5th Edward I. 1276, Sir Robert Blundell, Knt., gave to Nicholas, his son, all his lands in Annosdale,”
saving to himself Shipwreck, and gave all his rents in Ravensmeales and Liverpoole, reserving to himself
Shipwreck," rendering yearly for his life 6 marks, and for Little Crosby 2 marks. Sir Robert Blundell gave
to Nicholas, after his death, the half of the said lands between the Mersey and the Ribble, or elsewhere in
Lancashire, and wind milne in Little Crosby, but to remain to Margery for her life, rendering yearly to
Nicholas, son of David Blundell, and his heirs, 6s. 8d. ; and the other half, after the death of Margery, to
Nicholas, the son of David. There is annexed to this deed the division of all the lands aforesaid in two parts;
this was in the 4th Edward I., 1275. Nicholas Blundell (son of Robert and Eleanor his wife) gives to William
Bray for 30s. one hawke of land in Walcoate, which William once held of the said Nicholas for twelve
years, rent at 5s. Nicholas Blundell gives to William the praepositus of Great Woolton one bovate of land
in the said town for nine years. In the 10th of Edward I., 1281, Nicholas Blundell enfeoffs Richard
Parson of Sephton, in all his lands in Lancashire, except the lands which Symon de Walton held in
Great Crosby; and the same Richard re-enfeoffed the said Nicholas and Margery his wife, and Nicholas,
the son of David, in the said lands in the same manner as the 4th of Edward I., 1275. Symon de Walton
gives to Nicholas Blundell and his heirs all his lands and tenements in Great Crosby, with homages, rents,
services, wardships, reliefs, escheats, improvements of wastes, to hold of the chief lords, in 25th Edward
I., 1296.
An agreement between Nicholas Blundell and Griffies de la Lee, 1297, that Nicholas shall settle
upon William, his son, and Alice, daughter of Griffiths, all the lands in Bishops Castle, Ledburie, Cherburie,
Walcoat, Buckenhurst ; after the death of William, Alice shall have that land for her life. 26th Edward
I., 1297, William, the son of Adam of Little Crosby, gives to the said Nicholas Blundell part of his land
in Little Crosby, in the Brandhearth, to hold of the chief lords, Richard Parson, Sephton, attornies, Sir
William of Kendal, chaplain, to deliver possession to Nicholas Blundell and Margery his wife. Nicholas
Blundell gives to William, his son, and Jane, the daughter of Griffith de la Lee, all his lands which he
held in Bishops Castle and Cherburie, with homage, reliefs, herriots, wardships, &c.

* Second son of Osberti, who was provided for in Garston, we see.
* This Aynosdale is now called Ainsdale, and lies W. N.W. of Halsall Church, in a low flat country : Osbert's family, who first
settled at Aynosdale, were, we have no doubt, of Norman origin : for families of the name Blondell and arms are found in Britany.
Ainsdale now belongs to Charles Blundell, Esq.
* One would imagine Shipwreck was a valuable appendage to an estate on the coast : the open sea lies along this coast facing the
N.W., from which point the most violent winds blow, and many vessels bound for the port of Liverpool have been wrecked ; but they
do not in the present day meet with the savage treatment which they used to do in former times.

Margerie, late wife of William Greenall, gives to Nicholas Blundell half a bovate of land which she
held in Little Crosby, in jointure after the death of William her husband in 5th Edward II.
1311. Richard, the son of Henry de Sephton, gave to Nicholas Blundell, Esq. and his heirs a parcel

ground lying to the Twelve Butts. Richard, rector of Sephton, gave to Nicholas Blundell and Margery
his wife and their heirs, all his land in Walton, which he had by gift of said Nicholas for life, afterwards

II. 1318, Nicholas Blundell gives to William, the son of Richard and Mawd his wife, a parcel of land in
Crosby for term of life, rent 16., which Henry, the son of Richard de la Dale, gave to Nicholas, son of Sir
Robert Blundell, and his heirs.--Nicholas Blundell gave to Adam, the son of Thomas de Aykyscay and
his heirs, one-half bovate of land in little Crosby, which he bought of William, the son of Ralph Greenall.
Robert Molineux released Nicholas Blundell and his heirs one wind-milne in Great Crosby, which Symon
Walton of Walton, and Nicholas of Aintrie gave him. Richard, son of Richard Molineux, rector of

Robert. The said Robert Blundell gives to Richard, the son of William, rector of Walton, and his heirs,
three acres of land in Little Crosby.

Robert Blundell, Knt. gave to Nicholas his son all his lands in Aynosdale for three years, in 3d of
Edward I. 1274. -
*Agnes, the relict of David Blundell, resigns to Nicholas Blundell and Margery his wife all the lands
which Nicholas and Margery had for the term of life between the Rible and Mercy, excepting the lands in
Great Crosby and four bovates of land in the possession of the said Nicholas when David his son married
her; and after the death of David, was given her in lieu of jointure, in the 4th of Edward II. 1275.
Agnes, the relict of David, gave to William, the son of Roger Kenison, a certain parcel of land in Crosby—
viz., a meadow in Little Crosby, near the land of Roger Molineux, 13th Edward I. 1284.

Great Crosby, which Richard the clerk had of the gift of Agnes his mother, 4th Edward III. 1330.

* Roger was, perhaps, second son of Osberti.
5 This country, more particularly all the Meols, Ainsdale, and Formby, is famous for nick names. In this instance is a man
called Langboate : there is little doubt but he or his father had the longest boat on the coast. Many merchants entitle their largest
ships after their own name ; but here the practice is reversed, to serve the purpose of distinguishing the person.

$outhport, 43arish of 320rtſ, ſårols.
This place, which was formerly called South Hawes, is situated south of the estuary of the RIVER
RIBBLE, opposite a bay of water formerly 17 fathoms deep, where vessels used to ride at anchor, but which
is now filled up with sand, owing, no doubt, to the change which occasionally takes place on all shores by
the direction of different currents that frequently prevail over each other: this alteration might have been
accelerated by the sluice and drainage of Martin Mear, which discharges itself to the north of this healthy
spot and bathing place. -
About 3 miles north stands North Meols, or Church Town, as it is also called, mostly composed of low
thatched cottages with a few brick buildings. The best road to North Meols from Southport is about 3
miles along the beach, which appears after the tide is retired a trackless desert of sand of great extent, but
at high tide an ocean.
“Among the many places of public resort which the prevailing taste for sea-bathing has of late years
drawn from obscurity into distinction, no one has more rapidly, or more deservedly risen into celebrity
than Southport: a picturesque hamlet situated on the Lancashire coast (about 18 miles from Liverpool),
and exhibiting in the most pleasing variety, all that charms the eye of taste, or awakens enthusiastic ad-
miration in the lover of nature.”
Hesketh. The church contains three marble monuments, one of great beauty

of the other two, one is to the same family of Hesketh, and one to
Thomas Fleetwood, of Banke, who died in 1717, aged 56. The church
seems to have been built at three different periods. It was formerly
under the priory of Penwortham, and at the dissolution conveyed to
the Fleetwoods (originally a Staffordshire family). Edward Fleetwood, See fol. 200.

climate. Many live to 100 years old. Birkdale is in this parish.

* Thus far the pedigree is entered in a slight hasty manner by Dugdale in his original visitation book for Lanc. 1665. There
is a copy neatly and fairly written by Gregory King, though we did not find that he had copied it into his book (both in the College
of Arms). In the above, when compared with some other pedigrees of this family, there will appear a little difference in some points.
Gregory King's copy —James,” for his second wife, has given to him a Joan; Henry's N wife is called Catharine ; Nicholas's aſ wife
is called Margaret Glazebrook, etc. etc. We have examined and enlarged this pedigree from MSS. in the British Museum, with the
matches compared and collected from several other pedigrees and visitations, bringing it down to the time of Dugdale, to be entered
in the Heralds' Books, from Richard Blundell, of Crosby, (who married Anne, daughter of Richard Starkie, of Stretton, about the
year 1550) to 1772; which is certified in the Herald's College Books by Nicholas Blundell Peppard, and Frances Peppard his wife,
February 29th, 1772; and the pedigree is fully entered during that period of 222 years.

THE church of Hilton or Huyton is an ancient building, dedicated to St. Michael, and formerly belonged
to the dissolved monastery of Burscough, founded by the owner of Lathom, Knowsley, and Roby. Since
the dissolution the patronage has passed into various hands. In 1662 it was vested in the Earl of
Southhampton." In 1708, William Farrington, Esq., presented; in 1737, Jacob Jones, gentleman; in 1765,
the late Lord Strange, father of the Earl of Derby; since which time the PATRONAGE has been vested in
the KNowsLEY family. The present vicar is the Rev. Ellis Ashton, M. A., Fellow of Brazenose College,
Oxford, who succeeded the Rev. Geoffry Hornby, son of the late rector of Winwick—This living is dis-
charged and valued at £42 per annum;’ taxed by Pope Nicholas' at £10; rated in the king's books at
£5: 9s, and in the deanery of Warrington."
The township of Huyton was long distinguished by the residence of the knightly family of Harrington,
of Huyton Heyes, who lived here for many generations.”

Earl with a visit for a few days, and gratified Liverpool with his presence, dining with the Mayor and the
gentlemen of the town at the Liverpool Arms. On that occasion the town was brilliantly and tastefully
illuminated. His Highness visited the Blind School, gave a handsome donation, and became patron of
that excellent charity.
Some of the Earls of Derby have been Mayor of Liverpool; Earl James enjoyed the office in 1734.
He was a great patron of the arts, and employed Hamlet Winstanley, a painter, to purchase abroad a capital
collection of pictures, many of which are in high estimation. Winstanley, we understand, was a Lancashire
man, and many of his paintings are to be seen in this county. He etched about twenty plates of the Knowsley
collection, and the work is highly prized. He also etched, among other things, a view of Prescot.
This Lord, the patron of Winstanley, threw open his gallery at Knowsley, and many young men of
those days studied architecture and drawing under his auspices: a circumstance not very common at that
period, when there was not any academy of design in England ''

32d Edward I. Robert de Latham had a grant of free warren in Roby and Latham,

Huyton 1800 to 2000, and Torbock about 2045 acres, statute measure. *
The parish of Huyton is small when compared with those which surround it—viz. Walton, Prescot,
and Childwall. The township of Torbock, we are led to believe, belongs exclusively to the Right
Honourable the Earl of Sefton, who is lord of the manor. This Torbock or Torbuck gave name and habi-
tation to a family before the time of Richard I., when we find that Henry, who, there is reason to think,
held the whole parish as one knight's fee, had two sons; the eldest having Lathom and Knowsley given to
him, took the name of Henry Latham, and founded Burscough Abbey so early as the reign of Richard I.
Of this Henry we shall have further occasion to speak.
Huddleston. Richard, the youngest son, settled at Torbock, and he and his descendants for fifteen
TST, ZZ generations were of great note in this part of Lancashire, intermarrying, as we have
already seen, with the Norreys of Speke, the Irelands of Lydiate, and with the Halsalls.
Sir Henry Torbock, of Torbock, Knt., married Catharine Halsall, whilst Sir Richard
Torbock, Knt., his brother, married one of the daughters of Mr. Ratcliffe; and they
married into the families of Standish, Huddleston, Orrel, Daniel, Dalton, Moore of Bank
Hall, Gerard of Bryn, Cotton of Combermere, Stanley, etc.

2:30 Gregson's 330rtfolio of jragments:
The Seal here introduced once belonged to Sir William Tor-
bock, Knt., who married Margery, the sister of Sir James Stanley:
it is of brass, deeply cut, and weighs 7} oz. avoirdupoise. A son
of this Sir William settled at Newcastle, and took the name of
Smith, but retained his own arms, which were before described.
Some persons call the crest a parrot, others a bittern : we say an
eagle vert, beaked, and legged, gules. The Smiths of Staffordshire,
of this family, bear 2 pellets, and one mullet on the chief for
difference. The above seal was, for a considerable time, in the
possession of Mr. Thomas Barrett, of Manchester, a gentleman
extremely fond of antiquities. It is now the property of John
Torbock, Esq. of Dove Cote, late of Finch Lane, both in West
Derby. *
We do not find any regular descent of this family later than 1583.
The pedigree may be seen in Cheetham's Library, Manchester, No.
6719 ; and many particulars are noted in the Harleian MSS., Nos.
1987, 2086, 1549, 6159, and in 2176. There is a copy of the
will of Dame Cicily Torbock, dated the 7th March, 1466, wherein
“she bequeaths 13s. 4d. (a mark) to her son Thomas to buy him a
horse or ambling nag.”
All this parish was held as one knight's fee under the fee of
Widnes: according to Sir Peter Leycester, under the honor of
See folio 182. Halton ; renewed temp. Henry VII. and paid rent £5.
At the very south-east corner of Huyton, between that and Torbock parish, and
near to Richard Willis, Esq. of Halstenhead Hall, in Whiston, is Dacre Bridge. This
is the only name that we have met with relating to any of the Dacre family, who were
formerly great owners in this neighbourhood and in Prescot."
The acreage of those places already mentioned we have been favoured with ; the
statements at foot relative to several other places would have been inserted under their
proper heads, had the account come more early to hand. The hamlet of Woolfull is
within the township of Huyton, and the family of Woolfull was of great respectability,
a.º. and connected with the Bolds, the Irelands, and other families at the south end of the

THIS HALL is the seat of MEYRICK BANKES, Esq., and is pleasantly situated on the edge of a hill commanding a
distant view of Wigan, Haigh Hall, Rivington Pyke, and a range of Yorkshire hills. The house is large and comfortable:
the front to the south has transom windows; but on the reverse side modern sashes have been introduced in the
drawing-room, library, &c. The offices are extensive and convenient. - -
Not far hence are two chapels under Wigan, Billinge and Holland. Billinge is about one mile and a half south of the
hall; and Holland church or priory the same distance north-west. Vast quantities of coal are raised in this district, which
is very populous; the cannel at Haigh is much esteemed; and most excellent nails, hinges, screws, &c., are made in this
neighbourhood; where there are also many cotton-weavers. See Appendix.
The family of Banks have been connected with the Bisphams of Billinge (near to Billinge Hill). The Holts have suc-
ceeded the Bisphams. The PEDIGREE of Samuel Bispham of Billinge was accurately traced by HENRY ST. GEORGE, KNT.,
Norroy King of Arms, anno 1640, and continued down to 1663, from the time of KING John, when Matthew de Bispham
held the manor of Bispham, paying 15s, through the families of Heyton and Billinge, and intermarrying with the Dodding-
fells, Heskeths, Ratcliffes, Daltons, Stanleys, Chaddertons, Rigbys, Holts, Tarletons, Dittons, Barneses, and Lathams of Moss-
brow; Gees, Buckstons, Somes, Wilmots, Laurences, Grosvenors of Eaton. The descendant and female heir, after the death
of her brother Thomas Bispham, who died young, was Margaret Bispham, born 6th July 1701, and who married Thomas
Owen of Upholland Abbey; and from thence the estate came to the Leighs of Whitley, near Wigan, by marriage with the
two daughters and co-heirs of Thomas Owen, Esq., and Margaret Bispham his wife: Holt Leigh, Esq. of Whitley, marrying
the youngest, and Edward, Esq. of London, marrying the eldest daughter; of which family is Sir Robert Holt Leigh, Bart.,
M.P. for Wigan, Alex, and Robert Holt Leigh, Esqrs, of Leeds, and Miss Johanna Holt Leigh, now all living; whilst Bisp-
ham belongs to John Holt, Esq., who at this time, 1817, resides at and owns Bispham Hall. The Bisphams were Lords of
one quarter of Billinge, 10 Richard II.
The PRIORY of Holla ND was established in this neighbourhood; and when Sir Robert de Holland, whom we have so
often mentioned, was settled in Lancashire, according to Tanner, it was first “a chapel dedicated to St. Thomas the Martyr,
“after a college or chantry, and consisting of a dean and twelve secular priests, who were changed A.D.
“1319, by Walter, Lord Bishop of Litchfield, at the petition of Sir Robert de Holland, then patron and
“ (as I conceive) the original founder, into a prior and Benedictine monks. There were about the time
“of the suppression five religious and twenty-six servants. The house was valued at £78: 12s, and
“granted 37 of Henry VIII. to John Holcroft.”
The statement made by the author of the History of Leicestershire, that the first person of any
consequence of the name of Holla ND was Robert de Holland, whom the Earl of Lancaster took out of
An am, as ºn, as his buttery, is contradicted by the account of his ancestry, which has been given at p. 213. He served
º gºles, in the wars of Edward I. in Scotland, and probably owed his first advancement to his having held the
” post of Secretary to Thomas, Earl of Lancaster. His property and influence no doubt were vastly in-
creased by his marriage with an heiress of the family of De la Zouche of Ashby, and his summons to Parliament as a
baron raised him to distinction beyond the former rank of his family. Two of his younger sons are recorded amongst the
founders of the Order of the Garter, of which seven of his descendants were knights in three generations. His eldest son,
Robert, succeeded to the barony, and had two sons, Robert and John. Robert died in the lifetime of his father, at whose
demise the estates held in tail general went to a granddaughter, Maude, whose husband, Sir John Lovell, was summoned to
Parliament as baron jure uxoris.
The estates, settled in tail male, were inherited by John de Holand, the younger brother, and on the failure of his issue, passed
to Henry, Duke of Exeter, as next of kin and heir, he being the representative of Thomas, the second son of the first baron.
In his line the fortunes of the family culminated and collapsed. He was summoned to Parliament as Earl of Kent,
having intermarried with Joan, sister and heir of John, Earl of Kent, a granddaughter of Edward I. ; she was mother of
Richard II. by her second marriage with Edward the Black Prince. Her descendants by Holland contracted several mar-
riages with members of the Royal family, and had the Earldoms of Kent and Huntingdon, and the Dukedoms of Exeter and
Surrey. Henry Hubart, Duke of Exeter, who had married a sister of Edward IV., was attainted in 1461, and driven into
exile; enduring such abject poverty as to be obliged to beg his bread.

As we have seen, is very extensive, containing eighteen townships or divisions of taxation, with an ancient large
church, dedicated to All Saints, in which are numerous monuments, of great antiquity, of some of the first families in
the county. The living is valued in the king's books at £80, 13s 4d: it was formerly under the see of Lichfield; but
since the Dissolution the patrons have been Sir Thomas Rimmington, who pre-

early as 17 Edward II.” The population of this parish with Aspull (which is in the hundred of Salford, whilst
Wigan is in the hundred of West Derby) and the borough of Wigan is 28,890 souls, and of that number Wigan
contains 14,069.
There is a chapel of ease in this town, dedicated to St. George ; patrons, the proprietors of seats and rector, pre-
senting alternately: besides Holland, before mentioned, dedicated to St. Thomas-a-Becket, and that at Billinge.
There is also one at Hindley, in the same parish, and the rector of Wigan is the patron.” *
The neighbourhood of Wigan is famous for having been the scene of four battles fought between King Arthur
and the Saxons, near the banks of the Douglas, which river was made navigable by an Act of Parliament in 1720,
and now joins the Lancaster canal.
On the rebellion of the people in favour of Thomas Earl of Lancaster, several were prosecuted
for being concerned in that cause, among whom was Robt. de Cliderhou, parson of the parish, and
who for thirty years had been Clerk of the Chancery, and afterwards the escheator within TRENT.
He was tried at Wigan, in 1324, on this charge of treason—“That at his own proper cost he had
sent to the assistance of Thomas Earl of Lancaster two men with arms and horses, his own son,
Adam de Cliderhou, and John, son of John de Knolle, and with them four other men, armed
with swords, daggers, bows, and arrows ; and that the said Robert, in a sermon to his parishioners,
in the church of Wigan, had publicly told them that they were the liege men of the said earl, and
by their allegiance were bound to assist him in his enterprise, which was just, and the king's cause unjust : that he
would absolve all who went to the aid of the said earl. Of which accusation he was found guilty; and being
mainprized, did in the meantime compound for his life by a very heavy fine."

daughter and sole heir to the estates of Haigh, married her relative, ALEXANDER LINDSEY, SIXTH EARL OF

The ancient Manor House of Ince, of which an engraving is given in the preceding page, is now the
property of Capt. John Walmesley, of Bath, whose father purchased it from the late Thomas Gerard, Esq.
INCE (the manor and hall) was the residence of a person of the
same name, as was usual, until William Gerard of Bryn, who was
born 1259, and married the daughter and sole heir of Peter de
Bryn of Bryn, Brynhill in the parish of Wigan, near Ince. William
Gerard had three sons, Thomas, Peter, and John ; Sir Thomas Gerard,
the eldest had a son Thomas and he another son Thomas, all valiant
knights in war. The last died without issue, and their estates of
Gules on a chief ermine, Bryn, etc. went to the heirs of Peter, the 2d son of Peter de Bryn,
2 hurts. who had Kingsley, in Cheshire, given him by his father, and whose
next brother John, the third son of the first Peter de Bryn, of Bryn,
married Ellen, daughter and sole heir of Richard de Ince of Ince. Ince.
Although the manor, now the property of Charles Walmesley, Esq.,
and a great part of the estate of Ince were thus transferred to the O
family of the Gerards, yet a branch of the old family of Ince still O
continued there, for one Thomas Ince compounded for his capital O
messuage and estate in Ince in 1630, and dying in 1654 is stated

kinsman Colonel Richard Gerard, second son of Sir Thomas Gerard of Bryn, Bart., by Frances, daughter
of Sir Richard Molineux, of Sefton, Knt. and Baronet. Colonel Gerard greatly distinguished himself
during the civil wars, by raising a regiment of foot guards for the service of the queen of Charles I.; and at
the Restoration was appointed cup-bearer to the queen dowager. From this person the manor of Ince has
descended to the present owner, CHARLEs WALMESLEY, Esq. of Westwood House, in INCE. Wide pedigree.

Who are descended from Radcliffe Gerard, second son of Gilbert, and younger brother to Thomas
first Lord Gerard of Bromley, which Radcliffe was of Halsall, in the county of Lancaster, and married
Elizabeth, daughter and heir of Sir Charles Somerset, fourth son of Edward Earl of Worcester; and had
issue Sir Charles, Knt., who by Penelope, his wife, sister and co-heir to Sir Fitton of Gawsworth,
in the county of Chester, Knt. was father of
Charles Gerard of Halsall, who was most eminent for his loyalty and valour during the civil wars.
These services recommended him to his royal master, who rewarded them by conferring upon him the
honour of peerage, creating him by letters patent, dated at Oxford 8th November, 21 Charles I., Lord
Gerard, Baron of Brandon in the county of Suffolk. After the Restoration he was created, 1679, Earl of
Macclesfield and Vicount Brandon. These honours expired in Fitton Gerard, third Earl of Macclesfield,
1702, whose brother, Charles second earl, owing to some family quarrel, left the chief part of his estate
to Charles Lord Mahon, who killed the Duke of Hamilton in a duel. This Charles, first Earl of Maccles-
field, had two valiant brothers: Edward, a colonel of Foot, who distinguished himself in the first battle
of Newbery, where he was severely wounded; and Sir Gilbert, who was slain, fighting for the king near
Ludlow, in Shropshire. He had likewise two uncles engaged in the royal cause, of whom one, Sir Gilbert,
was Governor of Worcester, and Radcliffe his Lieutenant. Radcliffe had three sons—Radcliffe, Gilbert,
and John ; the latter was put to death by Cromwell ; and Gilbert, on the Restoration, was created a
baronet by Charles II. This family bore, a saltire, gules, a crescent for difference. All three sons were
in the battle of Kineton, and many other engagements in his Majesty's behalf—eight of this family being
devoted to the royal cause. Most of them were colonels in the army. But notwithstanding all the acts
of loyalty of Charles the first Earl of Macclesfield in support of the crown, it appears that he, together
with the Earl of Stamford and Lord Delamere, was committed to the Tower by James II., charged with
an intention to raise a rebellion. They were condemned to die, but afterwards pardoned. The earl,
however, lived to see the glorious revolution, and to witness three of the most remarkable occurrences
in the annals of British history; the deposition and decapitation of Charles I.; the restoration of the
same King's son; and the revolution, or the utter expulsion of that royal family, which had so lately
been called to resume the crown. -

THE parish of Ormskirk is in the hundred of West Derby, about thirteen miles N.N.E. from Liverpool,
and from Preston eighteen miles and a half. The streets intersect each other nearly at right angles; that
N.W.W. leading to Halsall and North Meols, and that to the S.E.E. to Up-Holland. The market-place
is open, and all the streets are wide and spacious, except the one which leads to the north ; that to the
south, leading to Liverpool, passes over Aughton Common, where a race-course was established, until an act
was obtained about two years ago for the enclosure of the common.
The parish is a vicarage—patron the Earl of Derby, whose family have possessed the patronage since
the dissolution of the monastries, previously to which it belonged to the abbey at Burscough : it is valued
in the king's books at £45 : 5:6. The living is discharged, and received Queen Anne's bounty in the
year 1719. The church is large and ancient: it is built of stone, and has a striking appearance at a
distance, having a tower and a spire. Tradition says it was erected by two sisters of the name of Orme,
one of whom wished to have a tower, and the other a spire: they probably differed too as to a saint, for
it is dedicated to St. Peter and St. Paul. It is to be lamented that their disputes did not induce them to
build two churches; for with a population of 10,000, and a rental of £52,477, this parish has but one
church and one chapel ! the latter of which is at Skelmersdale, and was consecrated in 1781 : the vicar is
the patron. There is indeed a chapel at Lathom—a donative, under Bootle Wilbraham, Esq. Perhaps
this scarcity of churches has given rise to the singular allusion we have observed in some ancient writings;
which, after describing a place in this parish or the adjoining one, equally as large, state it to be in
“heathen land.” The rectorial tithes were disposed of at the dissolution, and were some time since the
property of Col. Francis Charteris, of infamous character, whose grandson, the late Lord Elcho, sold them
to various impropriators.
It is an undeniable fact, that churches are much wanted in the county of Lancaster for the labouring
classes, who are so numerous; for, under the present arrangement, they could not be accommodated with
standing room, were they more generally inclined to attend places of worship of the established religion.
If not better instructed we cannot be surprised that they should be easily misled by the designing and
unprincipled enemies of peace and good order.
The living of the rectory of Halsall, the adjoining parish, was in the late rector's time raised from
£1400 per annum to upwards of £3500, and yet not one additional chapel has been built : indeed it has
one less (Lydiate abbey) than before the Reformation.
Camden says little more of Ormskirk than Leland, which is concise, noticing that it was famous for
being the burial-place of the Stanleys; Gough and Bloom, and other writers, Aikin and Pennant' excepted,
give few additional particulars. The grant of a market and fair was made to the prior of Burscough,
temp. Edward I., confirmed Edward II. The fairs are held annually on Whit Monday and Tuesday, and
on the eighth of September; and the market is on Thursday.
The above monumental figure of one of the Derby family was copied from a drawing made by Sir
William Dugdale at the visitation of 1664-5, and is pretty nearly a fac-simile of the original, which is
neatly sketched in the visitation book.

Dr. Aikin has transcribed from the seventh volume of the
Transactions of the Society of Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce,
s L the whole process and success of draining Martin Meer, which was
first attempted by Thomas Fleetwood, who lies buried at Meol
Argt. across, sable, on the church. Mr. Fleetwood formed a certain agreement with the See folio 223.
* * * * " various proprietors of this pool, which is of an irregular form, and
situated in the several manors or townships of Scarisbrick, Burscough, North Meols, Tarleton, and Rufford;
and contains about three thousand six hundred and thirty-two statute acres.” He obtained an Act of
Parliament in 1692 for the term of three lives and twenty-one years; but the work being ineffectually
done, the flood gates were washed entirely away in 1755, three years before the expiration of Mr. Fleetwood's
lease. Under the advice of Mr. Gilbert of Worsley, the late Mr. Thomas Eccleston of Scarisbrick, in 1781,
formed a drain five miles long, with flood gates, &c., to reclaim Martin Meer, and completely effected his
plans. The consequence was, that land at first only worth four shillings per acre, was let at two and three
pounds prior to 1789. It is remarkable, that in draining this lake, which was formerly the largest in
Lancashire, eight canoes were found similar in size and shape to those used by the Indians of America.
Mr. Eccleston received the gold medal from the society of Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce, Adelphi.

as well as in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford.” We shall therefore confine ourselves to some extracts
from an unpublished account of the siege written by one of the Captains concerned. On the breaking out
of the civil wars between the king and parliament about the year 1642, the Earl of Derby raised a number
of forces, and was one of the first to wait upon his majesty at York; he was joined by Lord Molineux,
Colonel Tyldesley, Sir Gilbert Houghton, Sir Gilbert Gerard, and many more neighbouring gentlemen and
yeomen, who with three thousand men marched out of Lancashire to York, with Lord Derby at their head :
he was afterwards ordered to take charge of the Isle of Man, where Captain Greenhalgh had commanded
Greenhalgh. for him. Captain Greenhalgh's very exalted character may be seen either in Peck or
Secomb. Several of this family served the office of Sheriff in Lancashire. During
Lord Derby's absence the famous Lady Charlotte de Tremouille was greatly annoyed by
Colonel Rigby of Preston. Previously to his lordship's departure he had taken Preston
and Lancaster by assault, and attacked Manchester; but he was obliged to raise the
siege of the latter place, the enemy retaking Wigan, Lancaster, and Preston; and
Colonel Norris, who commanded at Warrington, being obliged to surrender and give
up that town after five days' siege, on May 27, 1643. Warrington being the great
KEY between Lancashire and Cheshire, was a post of importance to the king's friends in
Lancashire.
Immediately subsequent to these events a summons came from the Governor of
Argent on a bend, sable, Manchester to deliver up Lathom, or subscribe to the propositions of the parliament.
ãº. Her ladyship refused to comply with either of these offers, assuring them that she left
a bugle horn string* all the estate of her lord to their disposal, and proposed to keep so many men in arms
at Lathom as might defend her person from the outrages of common soldiers. By her prudent conduct
she was relieved for nearly a year from all hostility, except that of Colonel Rigby, who took every
opportunity to annoy her, and to harass those who espoused her cause.
Thus confined to her own house and gardens she remained nearly twelve months; when on
Saturday, the 24th of February, 1643, it was resolved in a council of the Holy States of Manchester, after
many consultations, that the parliament Colonels, Mr. Ashton of Middleton, Mr. Moore of Banke Hall,
and Mr. Rigby of Preston, should proceed with all speed against Lathom. Her ladyship having got some
slight intelligence of this project on Sunday morning, despatched a messenger to a confidential friend for
a more accurate account.
The besiegers marched by Wigan and Standish, under the pretence of going to Westmoreland, in
order, as our author expresses it, to carry the multitude blindfold to that place, house and family that their
forefathers and themselves had so much honoured and respected—to Lathom, which for magnificence and
hospitality, was the only COURT of the northern part of the kingdom, and where they were wont to
cry—GoD SAVE THE KING and the EARL OF DERBY.
On this occasion the pulpit was used to sow the seeds of sedition ; and one Bradshaw, bred at
Brazenose, Oxford, a factious minister, a “very dutiful son of the Church of England, made the pulpit
speak their designs aloud: whereof and before his patrons in Wigan took occasion to profane on the 14th
verse of the 50th chapter of Jeremiah, and by as many signs as ever he had given of Antichrist, intended

to prove that Lady Derby was the Scarlet whore, and the whore of Babylon, and Lathom to be the BABEL
itself, whose walls he made as flat and as thin as his discourse, and before he finished he thumped them
down, observing the next verse to be a triumph for the victors.”
On Tuesday, the 27th of February, the besiegers surrounded the house at Lathom. On Wednesday
Capt. Markland delivered a letter to the Lady Derby with propositions to surrender; but she steadily
Ashhurst. rejected this offer, when another was conveyed by Capt. Ashurst, a man, our informant
says, of “fairer character than Morgan, Rigby, Fairfax, or any other that had waited
upon her ladyship.” He however produced no impression on her ladyship's mind.
More active hostilities now commenced: in storming the besiegers' camp the besieged
soldiers showed great drollery, attacking in earnest to gain powder, steal a dinner, etc.;
and after, in a sally, carrying a mortar into the confines of Lathom (in which Mr.
Broome' the steward, and servants assisted), becoming so easy that they were scarcely
Gules, across or, between sensible of a siege. “Our men continually vexed the besiegers' quiet, either by
4 fleurs delis. excursions of a few in the night, or by frequent alarms, which the Captain gave the
soldiers leave to invent and execute for their recreation. Sometimes, in spite of their perdues, they
would steal a cord round some tree near the enemy's works, and would make it terrible with many ranks
and files of lighted matches; sometimes a dog, and once a forlorn horse, handsomely starred with matches,
being turned out of the gates, appeared in the dark like young constellations. The enemy, so diseased
and beaten in jest and earnest, many of them quit their charge; the rest cried out for pay, ready to take
any occasion to leave the plunder of Lathom house for others: Colonel Rigby perceiving his troops ready
to crumble into mutiny, endeavoured to cement the breaches with some small pittance of their pay,
declaring it had cost him £2000, who was never known to be worth one until he became a public robber
by law.” - *
Colonel Rigby shortly afterwards called Colonel Holland from Manchester to his assistance, and on
the 23d of May sent a message by Captain Edward Mossley, that her ladyship must forthwith deliver up
the house ; but it was without effect. Things continued in this posture until the besieged were relieved
by the expectation of the presence of Prince Rupert. Holland retraced his steps to Manchester, and
Colonel Moore to Liverpool.
Prince Rupert, on entering Lancashire, and in his advance to the relief of Lathom House, met and
Shuttleworth. defeated the Colonels Duckenfield, Manwaring, and Buckley, at Stockport. On May 27th,
Colonel Rigby, hearing of the success of Prince Rupert, drew up his men with what
fresh supplies he could raise, and in the night stole away from before Lathom, 3000
strong: he rested at Eccleston Green, about six miles off Lathom, not knowing which
^ way to turn ; but at length marched to Bolton, where he was assisted by auxiliary
Sº troops from Colonel Shuttleworth and others to the amount of 4 or 5000 men. Shortly
afterwards he was besieged by Prince Rupert and the Earl of Derby, and the town of
See folio 100. Bolton was taken by storm, Rigby saving himself by flight. The Prince, in a few days
after, sent to his cousin Lady Charlotte by Sir Richard Crane, Knt. twenty-two colours taken at Bolton,

The number of soldiers was 300; 150 of whom alternately watched by night, except
Farington. sixteen select marksmen, who kept the tower watch all the day. In the whole siege
there were but seven barrels of powder expended, “besides that we took from the

At the Restoration LATHOM House returned into the possession of the Earl of Derby; but having
been almost entirely destroyed, the family residence was fixed at Knowsley. William Richard George,
the ninth Earl of Derby, however, intending to rebuild this seat, erected in the same situation a
sumptuous and lofty front, which composes a part of the south front of the present house, but did not
live to complete his design. After his death, it devolved to his eldest daughter, Henrietta, married first
to the Earl of Anglesey, and secondly to Lord Ashburnham, who sold it to Henry Furnese, Esq. from
whom it was purchased, in 1724, by Sir Thos. Bootle, Knt. of Melling, in this county, afterwards
Chancellor to Frederick Prince of Wales, whose niece and heiress married Richard Wilbraham, Esq. of
Rode Hall, in Cheshire; and their eldest son, EDWARD BOOTLE WILBRAHAM, Esq. is the present possessor.
£atbum #muge.
LATHOM House was built of stone by Sir Thomas Bootle, after a beautiful design of the celebrated
architect Leoni (which is to be seen in the fourth volume of the Vitruvius Britannicus), and was finished
about the year 1734. It consists of a ground floor, principal, and attic, and has a rustic basement, with
a double flight of steps to the first floor. The north front contains nine windows on each floor, and the
south front thirteen. The body of the house extends a hundred and fifty-six feet in length by seventy-
five in depth; and the offices and stables, which front each other, are united to it by two colonnades
supported by Ionic pillars. Among other good apartments, Lathom House contains on the principal floor
a hall of forty feet square and thirty feet high, ornamented with twelve half-columns of the Corinthian
order, and with paintings in chiaro scuro by Goupy ; a saloon of forty feet by twenty-four, and twenty-
four high ; a library of fifty feet by twenty-one ; a dining room of thirty-seven feet by twenty-two; and
three complete apartments with dressing rooms. There were formerly fourteen rooms on this floor, but
there are now only twelve, besides two handsome staircases. The pictures are few, and chiefly consist of
portraits of Frederick Prince of Wales, and the principal persons of his court and party, viz. Charles
(commonly called the proud) Duke of Somerset, William Pulteney, afterwards Earl of Bath, &c.
The house stands nearly in the centre of a park three or four miles round, and commands an extensive
view towards the north of the mouth of the river Ribble and the sea, with the mountains which divide
Yorkshire and Lancashire, and occasionally in clear weather those of Westmoreland and Cumberland. In
Holland Priory, the park, at a short distance from the house, is a chapel, which before the Reformation
was under the priory of Benedictines, at Upholland, but has since been a domestic chapel.
It has lately been fitted up in the Gothic style, and restored to its original character.
There are ten alms-houses attached to it, and divine service is regularly performed every
Sunday by a chaplain who bears the name of the almoner. *
Just out of the limits of the old park of Lathom, which embraced a circuit of ten
miles, was a celebrated spring of Chalybeate water, known in all the old accounts of
Lancashire by the name of Maudlin Well. Its water in taste and effects resembled that of Tunbridge
Wells; and, in a book published on the subject, in 1670, by Dr. Borlase, it is said to have performed
many cures. A few years ago, in working the coal mines in this neighbourhood, the spring was lost (like
that at Wigan, now lost in the same way); but in Lathom park, near the house, there is one of the same
quality, though of inferior strength.

Before we quit DERBY HUNDRED we beg to observe, that a
number of the noblemen and gentlemen of that hundred, as well
freeholders as others throughout the kingdom,’ were obliged to
contribute, to the musters by the force of the statute in that case
made, as well as by free will, in the year 1574, temp. Eliz. The
total number of able men then raised in the different hundreds in
the county was 5459, Derby hundred furnishing 1099 ;” and in
1585 the ministers, by order of Queen Elizabeth, wrote to Bishop
Chadderton, of Chester, and ordered the clergy of Lancashire to
pay or provide as follows:—
“The bishop of Chester to pay for three horses, valued when
“fitted at £25 each, the dean also to pay for ome, the chapter
“two, Edw. Fleetwood, the parson of Wigan, one ; John
“Caldwell, the parson of Wynwicke, two ; Edw. Ashton, parson
“ of Middleton, one; John Nutter, parson of Sesson, (Sefton) of
“Anghton (Aughton) and Babbington, (Bevington in Worral)
“one.” This is the most copious list we have of the men of
property in Derby hundred in those days, but we cannot account
for the non-appearance in it of the name of Molineua, of Sefton:”
to the list we may add the remaining few, then residents of
Liverpool, who were chargeable." Nor need we wonder there
were so few ; for about that time that borough petitioned the
queen to excuse them from sending members to Parliament, the
expense being then estimated so great. In the margin we intro-
duce the arms of some gentlemen not before blazoned. (a)

In the ancient days of chivalry these arms, marks, insignia,
and badges of distinction, were guarded with uncommon care.
Many tournaments have witnessed the obstinacy of contending
warriors, and some have lost their lives in defence of the ARMs
which they bore against others who had assumed them, and which
they were as vigilant to keep untouched as their honour or estates;
for arms were then the only distinctions used in the field—at first
simply painted on their shields, like those of King John ;' after-
wards, similar to King Edward's, on their coats of silk, when
quartering began to be used ; and next with the addition of a
crest.” Whilst helmets and vizards were used, the leader could
not be known without these marks of distinction ; hence the
origin of plumes," crests, dºc. To arrange all this matter of arms,
and to avoid and settle these disputes, an Earl Marshal was appointed, and under him various heralds; a
building erected, and many privileges granted to the CoILEGE OF ARMs.

#igtorg ant ºntiquities of 3Lancashirt, 251
At the most early period in the invention of arms the charges were simple—bend, fess, pile, bendways,
fessways, and pileways, and the colours, crosses, saltires, ragulé, nebulé, engrailed and cotized, quartered,
cantoned, and bordered, in all the variety of colours, and marks, engrailed, gabonated, &c. We count
about twenty-four of these distinct marks, thus simply made, with the combination of seven metals and
colours, with the addition of roundles, escutcheons, fers, crosses, and all the other lines, without taking in
all nature,' birds, beasts, fishes, implements of arts, manufactures, and commerce. See the industrious
Randle Holmes's collection, published in 1698, called the Academy of Armoury, or Storehouse of Blazon.
The field for invention and change of arms is copious. The allusive arms seem now to be preferred ;
and we will notice two specimens of such in our own neighbourhood. (A volume has
been printed describing many late grants in this way.) The first we give are
those of MOSES BENSON, Esq., an eminent merchant of Liverpool, who died a few
years ago. A small monument is erected to his memory in St. James's Church,
near the south end of Liverpool. This worthy gentleman was a native of Lan-
cashire, but settled early in life in the West Indies, where he amassed a large
fortune, part of which he expended in the purchase of an ample estate in Shrop-
$== shire. Desirous of having arms (though several have been granted to the Bensons),
Nº he chose to wear His own, and requested to have arms granted suitable to his
޺ life; and that they might be deemed perfectly so, the grant was made of arms, a
ship or frigate (it may be the John Bull, for he had, besides many other large vessels,
a fine ship of that name) in full sail, with the union ensign flying, all proper; and
on a chief wavy, azure, a military officer's deater hand, proper, holding a sword erect,
argent, hilt or, the hand couped below the cuff, or, the coat gules, bearing the scales of
justice, between 2 pine apples erect of the 2d, leaved, vert. He served the office of
Justice of the Peace, in Jamaica. The crest—upon a wreath, argent and azure, a
military long-tailed chesnut horse, richly saddled and caparisoned, and bitted and
bridled, proper, saddle-cloth of the 2d, girth and trapping, suspended by a ribbon round the horse's neck
a shield, of the first, charged with a pine apple, proper—for he was a Colonel of the Horse in Jamaica.

Horrocks. The arms of Sir ROBERT PEEL, Bart., a great manufacturer at Bury, in this
county, and in Staffordshire; M.P. for Tamworth, where he also has extensive
works, are less allusive, but bear on a chief, azure, a bee volant, or, as an emblem
of industry. The hundreds of Salford and Blackburne abound with men of talents,
who have carried manufactures to a great pitch of perfection. As another speci-
men of the allusive, we shall give SAMUEL HoRROCKs, Esq. M.P., for Preston, whose
exertions in spinning and manufacturing deserve his country's praise. He had
granted the following ARMS-Or, a fret, azure, upon a chief of the last a humble
bee between two shuttles, erect, or." CREST-on a wreath of the colours an eagle,
wings elevated, proper, holding a shield suspended from his mouth, gules, thereon

At a more remote period arms were also used allusively ; for Legh. Seefolio 229.
we see the Forester's horn, the Butler's cup, the Falconer's hawk,
the spear, the lure, the helmet, the sword, &c. Many other
allusive symbols might be exemplified.
The arms of the late Col. THOMAS LEGH, of this county and
of Lyme in Cheshire, were those which his ancestor had granted as an honourable addition,
on an escutcheon of pretence, after the battle of Poictiers, in which he served under the
Black Prince. The escutcheon in the margin described at folio 233.

Crest—an ostrich, or, holding in its mouth a horse shoe, argent. This coat, so granted to
Capt. John Smith (who had the command of 250 men under Henry Volda, Earl of Mildrith),
was in memory of his having slain with his own hand three Turks, whose heads he cut off,
in the province of Transilvania. The grant was made by Sigismond, brother to the Duke
of Transilvania, on the 9th of December 1623.

* What an infinite number of charges and changes may be made in the fabrication of arms This reminds us of an anecdote of
an intimate friend who, after reading Dr. Chandler's note on the spelling of Waynflet (folio 193), sat down, and never using less than
eight letters or more than twelve (introducing double n and e), wrote that name 96 different ways; and he might upon the same
principle, with the same letters, have increased the number to 120. Much variation of spelling will be found in names ; see folio 43.

252 Greggon's 330rtfolio of fragments:
“The science of Heraldry,” says a late author, “has been a study which has engrossed the attention of the first
literary characters, not only of our own country, but of most other nations; and the great advantages derived from
it in researches into antiquity have been acknowledged by all. The services of heralds in former times were held in
great estimation ; and their employments in war and peace were to proclaim and publish all weighty affairs.
“As for their antiquity, they were in request among the ancient Greeks; Homer, in his second book, speaks
of nine heralds in the Grecian army ; and with the Romans they were in such esteem, that Numa Pompilius, the
second King of Rome, instituted a society of heralds, and Ancus Martius, his grandson, and fourth King of Rome,
erected a college for them. º
“Their business was to determine peace or war, leagues, agreements, wrongs offered or taken by them or their
enemies, and to execute martial messages, &c.; and as the Romans strove chiefly to obtain honour, so the heralds
distributed ornaments and rewards to all who performed worthy actions at home and abroad.
“The Roman law strictly prohibited any to take up arms against an enemy without the consent and approbation
of these heralds ; and one above the rest being called Pater Patratus, was crowned with vervain, from whence he
became their chief, or king, either in denouncing war or concluding peace, as is now practised in England.
“In the time of Edward I. THOMAS EARL of LANCASTER, LEICESTER, and DERBY, and CONSTABLE
of ENGLAND, ordained that no parson, curate, churchwarden, &c., should pull down any hatchment, coat of arms,
or pennon, or eraze any tomb out of churches or churchyards ; and also, that no goldsmith, coppersmith, glazier,
painter, or marbler should have to do with arms without the consent of the King of Arms of that province, and
that they should not set a merchant's mark within an eseutcheon ; which order was revived in 1707, by Henry
Howard, Earl of Bindon, Deputy Earl-Marshal of England, with these additions—viz., that no engraver, chaser,
carver, stonecutter, coachmaker, funeral-undertaker, and others in the premises should design and appoint to or for
any persons any arms, or ensigns armorial, &c., as they would answer the attempt thereof at their peril.
“The said Thomas Earl of Lancaster also ordained that (for the better observing of the aforesaid order) all the
Kings of Arms should keep their chapters once every quarter of the year at least, and that they should make their
visitations in their provinces, or their marshals for them, every seventh year. And he likewise ordained that the
heralds, at the interment of every gentleman (where they were called to that service), should take the pedigree, with
diligent examination of old folks, and record the same.
“Besides kings and princes, divers noblemen in ancient time had also their heralds and pursuivants; as in the
reign of Richard II, anno 1379, the Earl of Northumberland sent a herald named Northumberland to that king for
a safe conduct to come and commune with him. e
“They were made a CoILEGE or corporation by charter of King Richard III, and by him (being wholly
employed and entrusted in regulating all affairs belonging to the noble science of arms) had several privileges
granted them—as to be free from subsidies, tolls, and all manner of offices in the kingdom ; all which privileges
were confirmed by King Edward VI., in the third year of his reign ; and for their regular proceedings have a public
signet, wherewith they seal and authorise all business concerted in the office.
“Of this collegiate society are (besides the Earl Marshal, who is their head) three kings of arms, six heralds,
and four pursuivants. - * . *
“Of the Earl Marshals—This great office, which is hereditary in the noble family of Howard, Dukes of
Norfolk (descended by the mother's side from Thomas de Mowbray, Earl of Nottingham, the first Earl Marshal of
England), is now held by his Grace Edward Bernard Howard, Duke of Norfolk, or his deputy ; and by the statute
of 31 Henry VIII. he has his place next after the Lord Great Chamberlain and Constable, and before the Lord
High Admiral, and Lord Steward of the King's house,
“This officer, who is governor of the College of Heralds, has sometimes been the King's lieutenant-general in
martial affairs, and is an earl by his office, which no other officer in England is. -
“And besides these, there are six proctors, who are to plead all causes relating to coats of arms that are tried
before the Earl Marshal or his deputy in the CoILEGE OF HERALDS.”

This hundred is a rural deanery in the archdeanery of Chester. It lies nearly in
the centre of the county, bounded on the east by the hundreds of Blackburne and
Salford; on the west by the river Ribble and the sea; on the north by the river
Ribble and Amounderness and Blackburne hundreds ; and on the south by West
Derby and part of Salford hundreds. It is the smallest of the hundreds, consisting of
forty townships and nine parishes. There are seven chapels of ease in it, belonging to
the several parishes, which (as Fuller says of Lancashire in general), “though sufficiently
thick of people, are exceedingly thin of parishes, as by the perusing the parallel will
tº plainly appear.” Two chapelries, however, have lately been made into two parishes;
See folio 255. and another chapel, we understand, is building in Leyland town.” There are also
several Roman Catholic" and dissenting chapels of various denominations in this
hundred. Yates's Map of the County, made from actual survey, and published in the year 1786, is the
largest, latest, and most accurate; since its date, however, alterations as to all the hundreds, names of
gentlemen's present residences, and other local circumstances, have occurred which render another
desirable." This hundred is one of the five shires into which this county was formerly divided—viz.,
Blackburneshire, Leylandshire, Salfordshire, West Derbyshire, and Territorium de Lancaster. The church,
which is dedicated to St. Andrew, is sixty-five by thirty-three feet within. It has a fine arched roof,
without a single pillar, and offers a noble space for worship. There are several monuments of the
Farrington family. The impropriate rectory once belonged to the abbey of Evesham, as well as the cell
at Penwortham and lands there and in Farrington;" but it was purchased in 1542 by John Fleetwood,
afterwards of Penwortham. Edward Fleetwood presented in 1677, 1684, and 1690; and Henry Fleet-
wood in 1719, 1733, and 1736; in 1748 Robert Harper and others presented; and John Baldwin, Esq.,
in 1753 ; since which date it has continued in the same family.

The hundred of Leyland, the wapentake, &c., were severally held by Ferrars, Earl of Derby, after
Blundeville, Earl of Chester, left to him certain possessions in Lancashire; and on the attainment of this
Ferrars it became the property of Earl Edmund, Earl Thomas, Sir John de Holland, and others.
By the returns of 1754 there were more people named in those musters in this small shire than there
were in the extensive hundred of West Derby; but then effective returns were from the latter. Sir

We find the first record of this family in the Charter Rolls, 22d Edward III. ; but they might have
been in this country before the Conquest. We must refer to Gwilliam “for the proof of the assertion—
that they came in with the Conqueror; and shall content ourselves with introducing a few interesting facts
relative to them. William ffarington had a grant of free warren, and liberty to make a park in Leyland
and Farmeston, as it is called ;” and further by the Inquisitionum post Mortem, 29th Edward III. we learn
that one of this family died in possession of lands in Chorley, as proved before the parson of Croston.“ 25th
Edward III. in the Inquisitionum post Mortem, we find Will'o de Farindon vicar de Westbury,” near Newn-
ham, in Gloucestershire : and again, Dugdale mentions this family as settled in Warwickshire, 17th Edward
I." When the lesser monasteries were dissolved, we observe that Sir Henry Farington, Knight, was ap-
pointed one of the commissioners; and on the dissolution of Pollesworth Nunnery, in his neighbourhood,
he was appointed to take the same to the king's use. We have little doubt that he was descended from
the family at Leyland, his arms being different only in colours." He bore—gules, between a chevron,
ermine, three leopard's faces, or ; and the Rev. Mr. Dallaway, in his elegant History of Western Susser,
lately published, gives the pedigree and history of one of this family, settled at Chichester as early as 1651 ;
previous to which date one of them had been mayor of that city. In the female line of this stock is
RoBERT EARL of CASTLE STEwART, descended from the kings of Scotland.
The last knight of this Lancashire family was Sir William Farington, knighted by Geo. III. March 3d,
1761, the ninth of this line, as will be seen in the pedigree, which families have several times united—the
heir of one branch marrying with the heiress of another, which first gave the quartering they have long borne;
confirmed by L. Dalton, Esq. on his visitation. In a MS. before us, it is said that “we have no doubt
this ancient family did come in with William the Conqueror, and settled at Farrington; but after some
generations the property was divided amongst the five daughters and co-heirs of Peter Farrington, the eldest
of whom, Elizabeth, was married to John, the second son of Thomas Kuerden, of Walton; and they bore—
gules, 3 cinquefoils, argent.””

$tambig, 33arish.
THE family of Standish have flourished here from about the time of the Conquest.
John Standish was one of the king's servants, and one of the first who wounded Wat
Tyler after he had been felled by the lord mayor of London, for which he was knighted,
together with the mayor and citizens, 4 Richard II.
Sir Ralph Standish was a commander under Henry W. and VI. in the French wars;
and Sir Alexander Standish was knighted for his valiant behaviour at Hutton Field, in
Scotland, 1482. Ralph Standish, of Standish, married Phillipa, daughter of Henry
Duke of Norfolk ; and being found in actual rebellion against his Majesty King George,
Worthington. his estate was seized, but he escaped with his life; and his estate was afterwards restored.
Henry Standish, of this family, a Franciscan friar, Bishop of St. Asaph, 1519, was
\lſ esteemed a very learned man. He accompanied Sir John Baker, ambassador to Den-
\ mark, from 1526 to 1530; and was one of the bishops who assisted and directed Queen
|||
See folio 257.
Catharine in the suit concerning her divorce from Henry VIII. Agnes Worthington
was his sister, and Ralph Standish, Esq. of Standish, his near kinsman.
See folio 198. Øſtlington.
The township of Adlington is in the parish of Standish ; the manor and great part of the estates
therein now belong to the ancient and respectable family of Clayton, of Adlington. The present Sir
r Richard Clayton was created a baronet, 3d May, 1744, and succeeded his father, John
Sir Richard Clayton, Clayton, Esq., as to the family residence and part of the estates, and his uncle Richard
Clayton, Esq., Serjeant at Law, and for some years before his death Lord Chief Justice
of the Court of Common Pleas in Ireland."
One of the Claytons held the Serjantia of Leylandshire, the 1st of King John,
when Hugh Bussel held Pennerham, or Penwortham.”

THIS great man, in the first of Richard I., paid into the office of the Exchequer, for scutage of the honour of

1st of King John, the same Theob. de Walter continued sheriff. *
This eminent man, notwithstanding his great possessions, had many disputes with his neighbours. He
differed with Uctred in Lancashire about a carucate of land in Brockton, which Uctred offered him forty
marks to relinquish (which it is said was unjustly detained by the said Theob. Walter, and then valued at
lx solidae); and Roger le Peor complains and applies to law on a similar grievance.” In other counties,
too, Theobald is much entangled in law : “ but, as an elegant writer says, “It would be an idle waste of
time to investigate the origin of this ancient and illustrious family;” and, we will add, the disputes of
this personage. It is said, however, that this Theobald de Walter was descended from the old Counts of
Biron, in Normandy, who were known in England under the name of Walters; and that in the reign of
William the Conqueror Theobald de Walter had a son called Harvey, who was father of Hubert Walter,
who was Archbishop of Canterbury. This Hubert besieged and took the castle of Lancaster in 1194 for
King Richard, it being held against him by his brother, who had the keeping of it under Earl John, after-
wards king, who had rebelled against his brother. 17 King John this castle and honour were in the
custody of Randulph Blundeville, Earl of Chester; and 1st and 8th of Henry III. William de Ferrars had
the same charge ; and also Theobald the second, who died the 9th of King John ; which Walter held many
possessions in England, as well as his successors. The Archbishop of Canterbury crowned Richard I. ; and
the same year we see Richard gave to this Theobald de Walter by charter, as was mentioned in the
beginning of the work, all Amounderness. Theobald was a benefactor to Furness Abbey, and founded
Abbey Cocher, in this county : he married the daughter of Robert Vavosar, a great baron in Yorkshire.
When RogFR of Poictiers was in possession only sixteen villages were inhabited in Amounderness, the rest
lay waste. In 1170 Theobald de Walter attended King Henry into France, when the controversy respect-
ing Thomas-a-Becket's death (his relation) was adjusted ; and the next year he accompanied the King to
Ireland, where Roderick, King of Conought, with many petty princes, yielded up their sovereignty to
Henry III. Another Theobald was declared Butler of Ireland in the beginning of the 13th century. It
is sufficient to say, that they established in that kingdom a most honourable and potent house ; and from
thence took the name of Botiller or Butler. They suffered much in the time of Henry VI. from their
attachment to the HOUSE OF LANCASTER, during the wars of York and Lancaster. By the great services
they rendered the crown, by their marriages with the noblest families in England and Ireland, and by
being entrusted with the most honourable and profitable employments in the government, they acquired
vast possessions, so that Edward III. September 1, 1315, created
Edmund le Botiller Earl of Carrick, who was raised to be chief "ºr
Governor of Ireland.”" That they held large possessions in England Rºahºo º
appeared on the death of Jacobus de Butler, who we find owned
various manors and lands in the counties of Warwick, Suffolk, Essex,
Hants, Gloucester, Surrey, Oxford, Hereford, Bucks, and in ten farms
in Ireland, but had only the manor of Withington in Lancashire."
After this the family quartered the arms of Walter and Butler,
which they bear to this day. See the History of the Ormond

N.B.-Guilda mercatoria, or the merchants' guild, is a liberty or privilege granted to merchants, whereby they
are enabled to hold certain pleas of land, &c., within their own precinct, 37th Edward III., 15th Richard II. The
original of them is said to be from the Saxon law; by which neighbours entered into an association, and became bound
for each other to bring forth him who committed any crime, or make satisfaction to the party injured: for which
purpose they raised a sum of money among themselves, and put it into a common stock, whereout a pecuniary com-
pensation was made according to the quality of the offence committed. Fraternities and guilds were therefore in
use in this kingdom long before any formal licences were granted to them, though at this day they are a company
combined together with orders, and laws made by themselves by the Prince's licence.—Camden.
The guild is generally a gay and festive meeting; oratorios, balls, masquerades, and plays, continue for several
weeks.

“The Duchy Court of Lancaster is principally a court of revenue for the lands,
honours, &c., belonging to the duchy, which lie dispersed in several parts of the king-
dom, and is also a court of equity in respect of such lands: it is held in an appropriate
chamber in Westminster Hall; the chancellor being always assisted by the two judges,
who are for the time being in the commissions for the northern circuit. The office for
the proceedings of the court is at Somerset House. -
“The Chancery of Lancashire is a court for the county palatine, having functions simi-
lar to those which are incident to the ordinary jurisdiction of the High Court of Chancery.
The proceedings of the court, as a court of common law for the issuing of writs, &c., are
carried on in the offices of the cursitor and seal keeper; those respecting the proceedings
in equity, in the office of the register or his deputy: which offices, as well as others
relating to the county palatine, are held at Preston. The judicial duties of the court
are executed by the vice-chancellor, subject to appeal to the chancellor of the duchy,
who, in respect of such appeals, is assisted, as in the proceedings of the duchy
court, by the judges in commission for the northern circuit. The vice-chancellor

chancellor; but in the appointments to that office subsequent to the year 1791, the vice-chancellor is
required to hold a court at Lancaster at or immediately after every assizes. Courts are occasionally
appointed to be held at Preston in the week of the quarter sessions; and special courts are frequently held
for the convenience of parties.” - -
“The Court of Common Pleas of Lancaster has jurisdiction within the county analogous to the
jurisdiction of the Common Pleas at Westminister. The judges of the Northern circuit for the time being
are appointed, by patent under the duchy seal, judges of the Common Pleas of Lancaster. The official
business of the Court is conducted by the deputy prothonotary at his office in Preston.”
During the assizes the several offices of the county palatine are held at Lancaster. sº
The present Earl of Derby is custos rotulorum ; but the chancellor of the duchy and county palatine
appoints all magistrates, the clerk of the peace, and the several officers of the courts of law within the
county palatine.
The pecuniary necessities of King Charles I. induced him to part with many of the possessions of the
duchy by sales to the city of London, which very much reduced the property.—See an account of some
of these sales in folio 41.
The Court of THE DUCHY OF LANCASTER was instituted temp. Henry IV. ; and in the 2d of
Henry V. it was appointed by statute that the King of England should be styled Duke of LANCASTER.

The HOGHTON family are of an ancient date, and may claim alliance with the most princely Norman
families. Algor Earl of Leicester, married a sister or daughter of Sir William Mallet, whose son Warin
was Earl of Leicester during the time of William the Conqueror. Lucie, the sister and heir of this Warin,
had two husbands; first, Ivo de Taylbois, Earl of Angeirs in France, Baron of Kendal soon after the
Conquest ;' and secondly, Gerard Lord Bullingbroke. By Lucie, Ivo had a son called Chetellus, whose
son Gilbert had two sons, the eldest of whom, William Baron of Kendal, called himself William de
Lancaster in the Parliament of Henry II. bearing the arms which Algor and his predecessors had done.
He married Gaudreds, Countess of Warwick, and by her had a son William Lancaster, Baron of Kendal,
and a daughter Helewisia, who married a Gilbert, son of — where our information of this line ends.”
We now return to Warinus de Lancaster, brother of the William Lancaster that married Goudreds,
which William had a son Henry who took the name of Lea and was called Henry de Lea, 13 of King
John, whose son John was Lord of Lea Hall 27 of Henry III. They bore argent, 3 bars sable. John's
son Henry de Lea was Sheriff of Lancaster 11 Edward I. and died 17 Edward I., leaving a son William
Lea who married Clemans daughter of Robert Banastre, Baron of Newton. This Banastre bore gules, 3

other land, it came, temp. Henry VII. to the Stanleys, and the Earl of Derby was lord thereof when he
was beheaded there, 15th October 1651. One Mr. Mason, a native of Bolton, who died at London in the
beginning of February 1734, left by will £10 to the poor of that parish. He was a noted reed maker,
and a member of the merchant tailors' company, of which he modestly refused to be master. By his fru-

John Pilkington, Esq. of the body to Edward IV., was by that king, in the ninth year
of his reign, made chief forester of Sowerby Chace, and keeper of Erringden Park for
term of life. Several knights of this family were eminent in their generations. Of this
family was Dr. James Pilkington, Bishop of Durham, who had the courage to contest
the rights of his see with Queen Elizabeth. He founded a free-school at Rivington, to
which the Master and Fellows of St. John's Coll. Cambridge, presented.”—Lucas's

“Some authors think that one of the family of Pilkington was forced to disguise himself in the habit of a
thrasher during the wars between the Houses of York and Lancaster. It is certain that Sir John Pilkington
and his brothers Sir Robert Pilkington of Rivington, and Sir Thomas Pilkington of Stanley, with Sir
Robert Pilkington their father, had their lands taken from them ; and Sir John was bound by indenture
not to take up arms against the king.
“Dr. James Pilkington (for whom see Wood's Athenae) was of this family; he died at Bishop's Auck-
land, 23d January 1575, aged 55, and was buried there until the 24th of May following, when his remains
were taken up and interred in the choir of the cathedral church of Durham, where a tomb was erected over
his grave, bearing a long epitaph in prose and verse, composed by Dr. Lawrence Humphrey and John Fox
the martyrologist; but it has long since been defaced. Of this family also was Dr. Richard Pilkington, arch-
deacon of Leicester and rector of Hambleton, in Bucks, where he died, and was buried September 1631. At
the time of his funeral so dreadful a storm of wind, thunder, and lightning happened, that the neighbours
were forced to convey the corpse to the grave by lights at four in the afternoon. This occurrence caused
the papists (against whom the doctor had preached and written) to spread several odd reports about him.

The Pedigree and Descent from Haringtons, Barons of Egremont, through various families to the Houghtons
and Bradshaws.
Sir John Harington, Knt., son of Sir John Harington of Aldingham, county of Lancaster, Knt., married
, daughter of Sir Richard Barlinghan, Knt., and had issue Sir Robert Harington of Flete, in county
of Lincoln, who married Elizabeth daughter and heir of Thomas Molta, which Robert and Elizabeth had
two sons, Sir John Harington, Knt., Baron of Egremont, who married Margaret, daughter of Henry Lord
Clifford, by whom he had Robert Harington, of Flete, in county of Lincoln ; he married Mary, daughter
of Kirkby; the eldest brother, the Baron of Egremont, had two sons—Sir John Harington, Knt.,
Baron of Egremont, married Marie, daughter of Sir Neale, Knt. of the Bath [so described in the pedigree,
but the correctness of which we doubt]. His brother Robert Harington, married a daughter and heir of
Banister, of whom hereafter. The said Sir John by Marie had a son Robert, who married Isabella, daughter
of Sir John Vernon. We will now trace the issue of Robert (who married a Banister) second son of Sir
John Harington, Knt., whose son Nicholas Harington of Wolfayne, married a daughter of English ;
they had two sons, William and James Harington. William Harington, Knt. of the Garter, temp. Henry
W., married Margaret, daughter and heir of Robert Neville of Hornby. Sir James Harington, Knt., the
other brother, married one of the Urswicks, whose son Richard married Mabel Bradshaw, of Bradshaw, &c.,
whose son Sir William Harington, Knt., and heir of Richard, married the daughter and sole heir of Sir
John Pilkington, Knt., and the son of this marriage was Sir James Harington, Knt., who married, 14th
Henry VII., Ann, daughter of Sir Alexander Ratcliffe, of Ordsall, Knt., and by her had issue Agnes,
co-heir, who was one of the two wives of Sir Thomas Ashton, of Ashton-under-Lyne, whose daughter and
co-heir by the said Sir Thomas, called Alice, married Richard Houghton, of Houghton Tower, and now of
Ashton-under-Lyne in right of his wife. Her father Sir Thomas Ashton, by his other wife Elizabeth,
daughter and heir of Rafe Stayley, had issue another daughter Margaret, who was married to Sir William
Booth, of Dunham Massey, Knt. Alice, who married Richard Houghton, before mentioned, had one child,
Thomas Houghton, son and heir, who was aged 40, 1st of Elizabeth, 1558, and married Catharine, daughter
of Thomas Gerard of the Bryn. They had issue Jane, sole heir of her father, and who, in right of her
grandmother, claimed Ashton-under-Lyme. She was the first wife of James Bradshaghe, of Haighe, who
contended for the Houghton estate with the other branch of the Houghtons to whom it descended. This
James Bradshaw had two wives and eight brothers and sisters.--From the Bradshaghe pedigree. For the
remainder, see Kimber's Baronetage.
* On examining Ashmole's History of the Garter, we find this Neale, Knt., must be Sir Neale Loring, which surname is omitted
in the pedigree, but the arms are there emblazoned—paly of ten, argent and gules, temp. Henry IV. The arms of nearly all the per-
sonages above mentioned may be found in the Norris pedigree, folio 199; the Harington arms being fretty instead of a fret, charged
with a label or, and agreeably to those recorded under the Earl of Balcarras's arms, folio 234. This marriage, as was before observed.
brought the family of Haigh an additional number of quarterings, belonging to the Haughton's coat, and borne by both families.
* For Ratcliffe, he bore, argent, two bends engrailed sable, with a label of three points, gules.

THE knightly family of BUTLER, of BEWSEY, in this county, were at an early date seated in Lancashire.
John Butler, of Bewsey, Knt., Baron of Warrington, son and heir of John, Knt., who lived temp. Edward III.,
son and heir of William, Knt., who lived temp. Edward III., also son and heir of John Butler, Knt., second
son of the said William, brother and heir of Richard, who died without issue ; which John Butler, Knt.,
was son of William Butler, Knt., who lived 22 Edward II., son and heir of William Butler, Knt., who lived
temp. Edward I., son and heir of Henry, Knt., who lived temp. Henry III., son and heir of William Butler,
Knt., brother and heir of Gawen, eldest son of Americ Butler, Esq., son and heir of William Butler, Esq.,
BARON OF WARRINGTON. Of this family there were many sheriffs, and under Ferrars they held many
lands.”
There are also the Butlers of Kirkland and Rawcliffe, in the hundred of Amounderness, who have con-
nected themselves with the Fleetwoods, the Bolds, the Norreys, the Blundells, and many other respectable
families.
John de Butler, of Rawcliffe, was Sheriff of Lancashire in 1392, John Butler in 1402, Thomas Butler
in 1570, Alexander Butler, of Kirkland, in 1767, and Edmund Cole, of Lancaster, in 1707. The latter
inhabited (and it is probable built) the house in which the judges in this circuit are now lodged, at
Lancaster, where this family latterly resided. The Butlers of Kirkland are supposed to be a younger
branch of the Butlers of Rawcliffe. “Robert Butler, of Kirkland, gentleman, married a daughter of Catherall,
“ of Mytton, in Lancashire, and had two sons, William and Robert. William Butler, of Kirkland, gentleman,
“married Margaret, daughter of John Rigmayden, of Weddakre, in Lancashire, Esq., and had Thomas,

second wife was Mary, daughter of Thomas Stanley, of Eccleston, Lancashire. He was a captain of foot in
the army of Charles I., and was slain at the battle of Marston Moor, Yorkshire, in 1644. John Butler
had several sisters: Elizabeth married William Gradell, of Croston, Lancashire ; second sister, Anne, wife
of John Fyfe, of Weddaker, Lancashire, and afterwards of Thomas Cole, of Coate, near Lancaster; Alice
married William Tildesley, of the Ashes, Lancashire; and another sister married James Anderton.
Thomas Butler, son of Captain John Butler, had a company of foot under the command of Charles Earl of
Derby, Lord Lieutenant of the county: he was born 1636, and married Elizabeth, daughter and coheiress
of Edmund Fleetwood, of Rosshall, in the same county; and at the time of the visitation had three sons,
Edmund, Ralph, and William, and three daughters, Mary, Ann, and Joane ; and from whom it is presumed
the late Alexander Butler, Esq. of Kirkland, is descended.”
The Cole family came from Somersetshire; and we find that Robert Cole was a clerk in the Dutch
office in London, and seated himself at Cote, in the parish of Lancaster and township of Bolton, juxta
Lancaster; he died 1642. His son, Thomas Cole, married Anne, daughter of John Butler, of Kirkland ;
this Thomas was born 1626, and had a brother, Robert Cole, of Clifford's Inn, London, and three sisters—
Mary, who married John Middleton, of Middleton, in the county of Westmoreland; Elizabeth, who was
wife of Painter; and Margaret, who married Christopher Procter, of Lancaster, and left two sons—
Thomas (born 1650) and John, and a daughter Elizabeth, whose grandson, Edmund Cole, Esq. of Lancaster,
was, we believe, Sheriff of Lancaster in 1707. ~.
The late Mr. Butler left his estates to the son of Thomas Butler, Esq. of Liverpool, who, in compliance
with the will of his great uncle, Alexander Butler, Esq. of Kirkland and Cote, in November 1816, took the
surname of Cole in addition to that of Butler, and is now, by his Majesty's royal licence, Thomas Butler
Cole, Esq. of Kirkland and Cote, grandson of the Rev. Thomas Butler, M.A., Rector of Bentham, in the
county of York, and of Whitingham, in the county of Lancaster.

BRIEF MEMOIR OF SIR JOHN HARRISON, KNT.
“Sir John Harrison was born at Lancaster, 1589: at the age of twenty-two he went to London, and by
favour of the Earl of Salisbury he was employed in the custom-house, and was engaged with Sir John
Wolstenholme and others in several farms of the revenue. Sir John Harrison was the first person who
suggested the expediency of managing the customs by commission, and when that measure was adopted,
he was appointed a commissioner; in which office he was reinstated after the Restoration. In his political
principles he was attached to the crown, and was one of the great sufferers by the rebellion, his losses
being above £140,000, as appears by a manuscript drawn up by himself. At the Restoration he recovered
his landed property, part of which was in Lancashire : namely, the lordship and manor of Beamond and
the site of the grange there, and the fishery on the Loyne. The estates which he purchased in Hertford-
shire were considerable. He died 1669, aged 80, at his house at Balls, near Hertford, where he had
erected a spacious mansion, now the residence of his descendant, the Right Honourable Lord John Townsend.”
We feel a satisfaction in giving this short memoir of a man who was of much service to his country
by the measures which he recommended and adopted in the performance of the duties which were confided
to his hands. With whatever exactness the customs may now be collected, the country enjoys the full
advantage; whilst the contractor of former times took care to exact vast sums for his own emolument.
Thus it is said, that one Smith, who contracted for the customs in the time of Queen Elizabeth, farmed
them at first for twelve thousand a-year: they were then raised, time after time, until he paid fifty-five
thousand a-year; and sixty thousand being afterwards demanded, he relinquished the contract. He gave
his eldest son Thomas Smith (who was made a Knight of the Bath by James II) eight thousand a-year;
and upon each of his other five sons be bestowed not less in estates than six thousand a-year."
* See MSS. Harleian Collection, No. 578 there is this Smith's, and twenty-seven other Smiths' arms; among others, Smith of
Cuerdley, Bishop Smith, Old Haugh family of Smiths, Smith of Grange, Lancashire, sable, 6 fleurs de lis, 3, 2, and 1, argent, all
beautifully painted. It is said in the Harleian MSS. that he had six sons, who were sheriffs of six different counties; but we cannot
find more than two or three likely to be of this family.—Ed. -

The Heysham family are of ancient date in this county. Roger de Hesam, 30th Henry III. held two
carucates of land by the service of sounding his horn, when the king, on whom he was bound to attend,
entered or left the county of Lancaster.” - g
“William Heysham, Esq., and Robert Heysham, were born in Lancaster: and going to London in
their youth, became eminent merchants there, and both served in several parliaments, temp. Queen Anne
and Geo. I. (as above). Robert, being alderman of Billingsgate ward, president of Christ's Hospital in
London, was chosen member for that metropolis, for which he served in the first septennial parliament;
soon after the close of which he died, February 24, 1722. William continued a member for Lancaster until
his death, which happened at Bath, on Friday morning, April 14, 1727. He left an estate of £50 a-year,
called the Greaves, adjoining to the south part of Lancaster ; the yearly rent whereof he ordered to be
divided amongst eight of the poorest freemen of this corporation, appointing the mayor, recorder, vicar,
and two of the senior aldermen of Lancaster, all for the time being, to be provisional trustees of this charity.
One of them gave a marble font to the parish church of St. Peter, in Liverpool, soon after it was built,
anno 1704, and it is yet in good preservation.” Several people held lands here for repairing the castle,
and finding and providing it with various articles: thus William Gardner of Lancaster, temp. Henry III.
for finding pot herbs and leeks for the castle, held seven acres of land value 2s. 4d. P annum. Margaret
Docket held nine messuages, four tofts, and one hundred and forty acres of land, etc. in the town of
Lancaster of the king, as of his Duchy of Lancaster, by serjeantry, and to find one bricklayer for the works
of the castle of our lord the king at Lancaster, to take one penny per day; which said work was rented
at five shillings yearly, and suit to the county court of Lancaster and wapentake of Lonsdale, and suit to
mill of Loune, for one bushel of wheat. Ralph Baron holds half a bovat of land in Sotherton (Scertune or
Skerton) by service, that he should be bricklayer in the castle of Lancaster, or for five shillings yearly, at
the king's election.* Several others owe suit and service by similar grants. See folio 227, etc. There
are many Roman remains at Lancaster and in the neighbourhood. The following observations upon those
mentioned in folio 247 came too late to be embodied with that account.
“The old stone figures were found in the spring of 1794; in digging the canal in the township of
Ashton. The place is retired; about two or three hundred yards to the eastward of the highway leading
from Lancaster to Cockerham, and nearly one mile north-east from Ashton-hall. It appeared that the
* King Charles I. sent Sir John Harrison a warrant for a baronetage ; but he begged leave to decline the honour, saying that he
had too much regard for the knighthood, which his majesty had personally confirmed upon him in 1640, to suffer it to merge in any
other dignity.—Fanshaw's Memoirs, MS.

spot had been selected for depositing these figures; the field was in pasture at the time the canal was cut,
a small hillock rose in the lower parts of it, more fresh and green than the other parts of the land. Upon
digging this part, a considerable depth of soil was removed; the spades at length began to touch upon
stones, and the workmen then used their picks; by this operation several parts of the figures were damaged.
The whole of them were within the compass of about six yards square, and laid carefully in the hole [about
three feet deep) which had been made for them : they were all entire until the workmen accidently broke
them with their tools. The mutilated parts, particularly the head of the figure representing Ceres, was
sought for in vain amongst the earth which the diggers had been throwing up for some days. There were
no walls or appearance of any buildings near to this spot; none of the figures stood upright, or touched
each other; but from all appearances great care had been taken in concealing them ; for what purpose it
is in vain, at this remote period, to conjecture.”
Lancaster was burnt by the Scots on a sudden inroad which they made in 1322, temp. Edward II.

“LEAVING Lancaster, we commenced a beautiful ride in our way to Hornby.” After passing Mr.
Gibson's at Quernmoor, and Mr. Hodgson's at Escowbeck, the road turned “into the sweetly retired vale of
Caton, and by the village church-yard, in which there is not a single gravestone," to Hornby, a small
straggling town, delightfully seated near the entrance of the vale of Lonsdale. Its thin toppling castle
is seen among wood, at a considerable distance, with a dark hill rising over it. What remains of the old
edifice is a square grey building, with a slender watch-tower, rising in one corner, like a feather in a hat,
which joins the modern mansion of white stone, and gives it a singular appearance, by seeming to start
from the centre of its roof.
“In front a steep lawn descends between avenues of old wood, and the park extends along the skirts
of the craggy hill that towers above. At its foot is a good stone bridge over the Wenning, now shrunk
in its pebbly bed, and, further on, near the castle, the church, showing a handsome octagonal tower,
crowned with battlements. The road then becomes extremely interesting, and, at Melling, a village on a
brow some miles further, the view opens over the whole vale of Lonsdale. The eye now passes, beneath
the arching foliage of some trees in the foreground, to the sweeping valley, where meadows of the most
vivid green and dark woods, with white cottages and villages peeping from among them, mingle with
surprising richness, and undulate from either bank of the Lune to the feet of hills. Ingleborough, rising
from elegantly swelling ground, overlooked this enchanting vale, on the right, clouds rolling along its
broken top, like smoke from a cauldron, and its hoary tint forming a boundary to the soft verdure and
rich woodlands of the slopes at its feet. The perspective was terminated by the tall peeping heads of the
Westmoreland fells, the nearer ones tinged with faintest purple, the more distant with light azure; and
this is the general boundary to a scene, in the midst of which, enclosed between nearer and lower

Hornby Castle was founded by the Montebegones, who were summoned to Parliament in 1336. To
them succeeded the Nevills and the Harringtons. Anne, the daughter and co-heir to Sir John Harrington,
Knt. conveyed the property to Edward Stanley, Lord Monteagle, a younger son of Thomas, the first Earl
of Derby, who, in the 5th of Henry VIII. commanded the rear of the English army at the battle of
Flodden Field, and with his Lancashire archers” was greatly instrumental in beating the Scots on that
day. In allusion to his ancestors bearing the eagle in their crest, the king granted him the title of LORD
MonTEAGLE." His son and heir Thomas Stanley, Lord Monteagle, in the 19th of Henry VIII. attended
Cardinal Wolsey in his embassy to the King of France, to induce him to join Henry VIII. (then at
Amiens) in a war in Italy.
This Thomas had three sons and three daughters by one of his wives. His eldest son William suc-
ceeded as Lord Monteagle, and married first, Anne, daughter of Sir James Leybourne, Knt. by whom he had
issue one daughter and heir called Elizabeth, wife to Edward Lord Morley. Having no issue by his second
wife Anne, daughter to Sir John Spencer of Althorp, in the county of Northampton, Knt. Lord Moreley,
in right of his wife, became the owner of Hornby. This Edmund Lord Morley, by his wife Elizabeth Stanley,
Barlow. left issue three sons; William succeeded. He had also three daughters; one married
• Sir Alexander Barlow, of Barlow, in the county of Lancaster, Knt. William bore the
title of Lord Morley and Monteagle, and was the receiver of the letter that discovered
the gunpowder plot. He was succeeded by the eldest of his three sons, Sir Henry
Parker, Knight of the Bath; at whose death in 1655, succeeded Thomas Parker, the
last Lord Morley and Monteagle of this family. He married Mary, the daughter of
Henry Martin, Esq. of Langworth, in the county of Berks, and was summoned to
e Parliament from 13th Charles II. to James I. Dying without issue, the Baronies of

Hornby is a neat market town, situated in Melling parish, which contains seven other townships.”
In the castle there is an exceedingly deep well, similar to that at Dover. In Bridge's History of
Northampton is an account of Thomas Andrews, one of the persons slain in battle in pursuit of the
Spencers, then so hostile to the Lancasterians. He married one of the Harringtons, and had lands in

THE manor of Ulverston was purchased by the late Duke of Montague in 1736. It was formerly
the property of the Lancaster, whose heir Melivise married Gilbert, son of Roger Fitz Reinfred, whose son
was fifth in descent from Ivo DE TALEBOIs, who having the custody of Lancaster, had the permission of
Henry II. to change his name to Lancaster. Ivo came over with William the Conqueror, and was the
first Baron of Kendal. One of the Fitz Reinfreds was, 7th of King John, Sheriff of Lancashire. The
bastard Roger Lancaster was summoned to Parliament, and had a grant of Barton et Witherslake,
Ulverston et Heton, and free warren in the two latter, 51st of Henry III. The manor of Ulverston next
went to the Couplands, then to the Abbey of Furness, thence to the King, and afterwards it became the
property of the Kirkbys. This manor has within its boundary the manor of Nevil Hall.
“Ulverston is a neat but ancient town, the capital and chief port of Furness. The road from it to
the majestic ruin of Furness Abbey lies through Low Furness, and loses the general wildness and interest
of the country, except where now and then the distant retrospect of the mountains breaks over the tame
hills and regular enclosures that border it.
“About a mile and a half on this side of the Abbey, the road passes through Dalton, a very ancient
little town, once the capital of Low Furness, and rendered so important by its neighbourhood to the
Abbey, that Ulverston, the present capital, could not then support the weekly market, for which it had
obtained a charter. Dalton, however, sunk with the suppression of its neighbouring patrons, and is now
chiefly distinguished by the pleasantness of its situation, to which a church, built on a bold ascent, and
the remains of a castle, advantageously placed for the command of the adjoining valley, still attach some
degree of dignity. What now exists of the latter is one tower, in a chamber of which the Abbot of
Furness held his secular court ; and the chamber was afterwards used as a gaol for debtors till within
these few years, when the dead ruin released the living one. The present church-yard and the site of
this castle are supposed to have been included within the limits of a castellum, built by Agricola, of the
fosse of which there are still some faint vestiges.”
“Beneath the brow, on which the church and tower stand, a brook flows through a narrow valley,
that winds about a mile and a half to the Abbey. In the way thither we passed the entrance of one of
the very rich iron mines with which the neighbourhood abounds; and the deep red tint of the soil, that
overspreads almost the whole country between Ulverston and the monastery, sufficiently indicates the
nature of the treasures beneath.”

“The lordship of Furness consists of all that tract of land and islands included in the following
limits:—the boundary beginning upon Wrinose Hills in Little Langdale, descends with the water which
divides Lancashire from Westmoreland to Elterwater; and from thence along the river Brathay into
Windermere ; then along the west side of this lake, and down the river Leven, over Leven Sands into the
sea ; extending along the sea, it includes the Isle of Foulney, the Pile of Fouldrey, and the Isle of
Walney; then ascends with the river Duddon, which divides Lancashire from Cumberland, to the place
where the water of that river comes from Wrinose Hills; and from thence with the water which descends
to Elterwater, as the boundary began.
“The liberty of the lordship of Furness extends itself over all the said tract of land and islands
called Furness, and all the lands and tenements included therein, as well freehold as copyhold, are held
either immediately of the lord of the said liberty, or of the lord of some manor lying within the same, and
who holds such manor of the lord of the said liberty. The several manors comprehended within this
lordship and liberty are, the manor of Furness, the manor of Ulverston, and the manor of Muchland with
Torver; in each of which a court leet and court baron may be held : the manor of Dalton, the manor of
Egton and Newland, and the manor of Hawkshead; in each of which a court baron only can be held ;
and the manor of Nevil Hall; all which manors belong to, and are part of the demesnes of the lord of
the liberty; the manor of Bardsea, and the manor of Blawith, for which no courts are now held : the
manor of Kirkby, for which a court baron may be held by Lord George Cavendish ; the manor of Bolton
and Adgarley, for which a court baron is now held by the Earl of Derby; the manor of Dunnerdale and
Seathwaite, for which a court baron is now (1774) held by William Penny, Esq.; the manor of Lowick,
for which a court baron is held by William Ferdinand Blencow, Esq.; the manor of Broughton, for which
a court baron is now held by the heir of J. Gilpin Sawrey, Esq.; the manor of Pennington, for which a
court baron is now held by Sir Joseph Pennington, Bart.; and the manor of Coniston, for which a court
baron is now held by Sir Michael le Fleming: but in none of those manors belonging to other lands is
there any court leet.”

“The liberty and lordship of Furness remained in the hands of the monks from the first grant of
Earl Stephen; increased, as we have seen, by the gifts of almost every succeeding king of England, till the
dissolution of monasteries; and from that time remained in the crown till the year 1662, when they were
granted away, with other things, by King Charles II. to the Duke of Albemarle, and his heirs, with all
rights, privileges, and Jurisdictions, in as large and ample, a manner as any person or persons ever held,
or could, or ought to have held or enjoyed the same ; and are now held and enjoyed by her grace the
Duchess of Montague, and the Duchess of Manchester, daughters and co-heirs of the late Duke of
Montague, as descents from the Duke of Albemarle, the original grantee. Hence it is manifest that the
present lord, or ladies, of the liberties, may exercise and enjoy all those rights, liberties, and privileges,
which the abbot of Furness, as lord thereof, ever did, or had a right to enjoy, and which were not
annihilated by the statute of the 12th Charles II.”

“In a close glen, branching from the valley of Dalton, shrouded by winding banks
clumped with old groves of oak and chesnut we found the magnificent remains of
FURNESS ABBEY. The deep retirement of its situation, the venerable grandeur of its
Gothic arches, and the luxuriant yet ancient trees that shadow this forsaken spot, are
circumstances of picturesque and, if the expression may be allowed, of sentimental beauty,
which fill the mind with solemn yet delightful emotion This glen is called the Vale
of Nightshade, or, more literally, from its ancient title Bekangsgill, the “glen of deadly
nightshade,” that plant being abundantly found in the neighbourhood. Its romantic
gloom and sequestered privacy particularly adapted it to the austerities of monastic life;
and in the most retired part of it King Stephen, while Earl of Montaign and Boloigne,
founded, in the year 1127, the magnificent monastery of Furness, and endowed it with
princely wealth, and almost princely authority, in which it was second only to Fontain's
Abbey in Yorkshire.
“The windings of the glen conceal these venerable ruins till they are closely
approached, and the bye-road that conducted us is margined with a few ancient oaks,
which stretch their broad branches entirely across it, and are finely preparatory objects
to the scene beyond, A sudden bend in this road brought us within view of the
northern gate of the Abbey, a beautiful Gothic arch, one side of which is luxuriantly fes-
tooned with nightshade. A thick grove of plane-trees, with some oak and beeeh, over-
shadow it on the right, and lead the eye onward to the ruins of the Abbey, seen
through this dark arch in remote perspective, over rough but verdant ground. The
principal features are the great northern window and part of the eastern choir, with
glimpses of shattered arches and stately walls beyond, caught between the gaping case-
ments. On the left, the bank of the glen is broken into knolls capped with oaks,
which in some places spread downwards to a stream that winds round the ruin, and
darken it with their rich foliage. Through this gate is the entrance to the immediate
precincts of the Abbey, an area said to contain sixty-five acres, now called the Deer-park.
It is enclosed by a stone wall, on which the remains of many small buildings and the faint
vestiges of others, still appear; such as the porter's lodge, mills, granaries, ovens, and kilns,
that once supplied themonastery, some of which, seen under the shade of the fine old trees,
that on every side adorn the broken steeps of this glen, have a very interesting effect.
“Just within the gate, a small manor-house of modern date, with its stables and
other offices, breaks discordantly upon the lonely grandeur of the scene. Except this,
the character of the deserted ruin is scrupulously preserved in the surrounding area; no
spade has dared to level the inequalities which fallen fragments have occasioned in the
ground, or shears to clip the wild fern and underwood that overspread it; but every
circumstance conspires to heighten the solitary grace of the principal object, and to pro-
long the luxurious melancholy which the view of it inspires. We made our way among
the pathless fern and grass to the north end of the church, now, like every other part
of the Abbey, entirely roofless, but showing the lofty arch of the great window, where,
instead of the painted glass that once enriched it, are now tufted plants and wreaths of
nightshade. Below is the principal door of the Church, bending into a deep round
arch, which, retiring circle within circle, is rich and beautiful ; the remains of a wind-
ing staircase are visible within the wall on its left side. Near this northern end of the
edifice are seen one side of the eastern choir, with its two slender Gothic window
frames, and on the west a remnant of the nave of the Abbey and some lofty arches,
which once belonged to the belfry, now detached from the main building.
“To the south, but concealed from this point of view, is the chapter-house, some
years ago exhibiting a roof of beautiful Gothic fretwork, and which was almost the only
part of the Abbey thus ornamented, its architecture having been characterised by an
air of grand simplicity rather than by the elegance and richness of decoration, which in
an after date distinguished the Gothic style in England. Over the chapter-house were
once the library and scriptorium, and beyond it are still the remains of clositers, of the
refectory, the loctorium, or conversation room, and the calefactory. These, with the
walls of some chapels, of the vestry, a hall, and of what is believed to have been a
school-house, are all the features of this noble edifice that can easily be traced, wind-
ing stair-cases within the surprising thickness of the walls, and door-cases involved in
darkness and mystery, the place abounds with.
“The Abbey, which was formerly of such magnitude as nearly to fill up the
breadth of the glen, is built of a pale red stone, dug from the neighbouring rocks, now
changed by time and weather to a tint of dusky brown, which accords well with the
hues of plants and shrubs that everywhere emboss the mouldering arches.
“The finest view of the ruin is on the east side, where, beyond the vast shattered
frame that once contained a richly painted window, is seen a perspective of the choir
and of distant arches, remains of the nave of the Abbey, closed by the woods. This
perspective of the ruin is said to be two hundred and eighty-seven feet in length ; the
choir part of it is in width only twenty-eight feet inside, but the nave is seventy ; the
walls, as they now stand, are fifty-four feet high and in thickness five. Southward
from the choir extend the still beautiful, though broken, pillars and arcades of some
chapels, now laid open to the day; the chapter-house, the cloisters, and beyond all, and
detached from all, is the school-house, a large building, the only part of the monastery
that still boasts a roof.
“As, soothed by the venerable shades and the view of a more venerable ruin, we
rested opposite to the eastern window of the choir, where once the high altar

the very door-case, by which such processions were wont to pass from the cloisters to
perform the matin service, when, at the moment of their entering the church, the deep
chanting of voices was heard, and the organ swelled a solemn peal. To fancy, the
strain still echoed feebly along the arcades and died in the breeze among the woods,
the rustling leaves mingling with the close. It was easy to image the abbot and the
officiating priests seated beneath the richly fretted canopy of the four stalls that still
remain entire in the southern wall, and high over which is now perched a solitary yew
tree, a black funereal memento to the living of those who once sat below.”
“The chapter house is the only building belonging to the Abbey which is marked
with any elegance of Gothic sculpture; it has been a noble room of sixty feet by forty-
five. The vaulted roof, formed of twelve ribbed arches, was supported by six pillars in
two rows at fourteen feet distant from each other. Now supposing each of the pillars
to be eighteen inches in diameter, the room would be divided into three alleys or pas-
sages, each fourteen feet wide. On entrance, the middle one only could be seen,
lighted by a pair of tall pointed windows at the upper end of the room ; the company
in the side passage would be concealed by the pillars, and the vaulted roof, that groined
from those pillars, would have a truly Gothic disproportionate appearance of sixty feet
by fourteen. The northern side alley was lighted by a pair of similar side lights, and
a pair at the upper end; the southern side alley was lighted by four small pointed side
windows, besides a pair at the higher end at present entire, and which illustrate what
is here said. Thus, whilst the upper end of the room had a profusion of light, the
lower end would be in the shade. The noble roof of this singular edifice did but
lately fall in : the entrance or porch is still standing, a fine circular arch, beautified
with a deep cornice, and a portico on each side. The only entire roof of any apartment
now remaining, is that of a building without the enclosure wall, which was the school-
house of the abbot's tenants. It is a single ribbed arch that groins from the wall.
“There is a general disproportion remarkable in Gothic churches, which must have
originated in some effect intended by all the architects; perhaps to strike the mind
with reverential awe at the sight of magnificence arising from the vastness of two
dimensions, and a third seemingly disregarded; or, perhaps, such a determinate height
and length was found more favourable than any other to the church song, by giving a

deeper swell to the choir of chaunting monks. A remarkable deformity in this edifice,
and for which there is no apparent reason or necessity, is that the north door, which is
the principal entrance, is on one side of the window above it.
“The tower has been supported by four magnificent arches, of which only one
remains entire. They rested upon four tall pillars, whereof three are finely clustered,
but the fourth is of a plain unmeaning construction.”
“Of a quadrangular court on the west side of the church, three hundred and
thirty-four feet long and one hundred and two feet wide, little vestige now appears,
except the foundation of a range of cloisters that formed its western boundary, and under the shade of
which the monks on days of high solemnity passed in their customary procession round the court. What
was the belfry is now a huge mass of detached ruin, picturesque from the loftiness of its shattered arches
and the high inequalities of the ground within them, where the tower that once crowned this building
having fallen, lies in vast fragments, now covered with earth and grass, and no longer distinguishable but
by the hillock they form.”
“The sum total of all rents belonging to the Abbey immediately before the dissolution was
#946: 2: 10 collected from Lancashire, Cumberland, and even from the Isle of Man; a sum, which, con-
sidering the value of money at that period; and the woods, meadows, pastures, and fisheries, retained by
the society in their own hands; the quantity of provisions for domestic use brought by the tenants instead
of rent, and the shares of mines, mills, and saltworks, which belonged to the Abbey—swells its former
riches to an enormous amount.
“Pyle, the last abbot, surrendered with twenty-nine monks, to Henry VIII. April the 9th, 1537, and
in return was made rector of Dalton, a situation then valued at thirty-three pounds six shillings and eight
pence a year.”

Lord George Cavendish. Gleaston Castle, in the parish of Aldingham, has been described to have been a
- place of great strength; but the existing remains do not convey such an idea. It
belongs to Lord George Cavendish, and has doubtless been very extensive. It is
situated two miles east of Furness Abbey, and at present displays posterns of three
high square towers. Standing in a rich vale, it is sheltered from the sea by fertile
hills. The interior courtyard is 288 feet long by 168 wide at one end, and 132 feet
at the other; at each corner were formerly fortified towers. This castle is supposed
to have been the baronial mansion of Aldingham. At the beginning of Queen Mary's

William I., soon after the Conquest, divided the kingdom among his
followers and great chiefs, who again distributed their possessions, with his
permission, among their dependants; many of the barons holding their lands
from these chiefs, as the chiefs themselves did from the king, by military
service, which was imposed upon their tenants in a similar manner.
The king gave to Roger Pictavensis not only all the lands between the
Ribble and the Mersey, but the whole hundred of AMOUNDERNESs ; and we

not the faintest idea that his castle, manor, or residence, was otherwise than it is noticed at folio 155 ; and the manor, we
apprehend, was that called Croxteth, which is extra-parochial, and the courts of the baron have been held at Derby chapel, near
the site of the “ruinated castle and near Croxteth.” See Doomsday Book ; see folios 43 and 47. Other barons here noted have
been well described. The baron of Warrington's residence was at Bewsey, which now belongs to Lord Lilford; it was once the
property of the Irelands, and John Blackburne, Esq., is at this time lord of the manor of Warrington. The barony of Newton

Stations of the Ancient Barons of Lancashire from Mr. Kenion's MSS.
“Roger Pictavensis, Earl of Lancaster," prudently stationed his barons in the most
dangerous places to preserve his earldom in quiet: first, he built a castle at Liverpool
against the passage over the water from Cheshire, and there placed his trusty friend
Vivian Molineux to be governor and castellanus there in the utmost limits of his earl-
dom; and for his greater assistance he placed near to him at Derby his vicecomes
Godefridus ; and not far about at or opposite Runcorn, being another passage out of
Cheshire, he fixed Yardfrid, another baron, at Widnes; and a little above that at War-
rington, another passage, and near unto the church, was the seat of another barony,
Yardfrid. given to Paganus Williers, to defend the ford at Latchford, before a bridge was made at
Warington ; and at a little distance, at Newton, was the seat of the Banisters, a barony,
in King John's time, to strengthen the former, and oppose a high ford or boat, called
Holyn Fare Passage, out of Cheshire; and about seven or eight miles higher, at Man-
chester, to preserve the passage out of Cheshire at Straitford, as well as to keep guard
against another Cheshire barony, called Stocport, he placed Albertus Grelle, an ancient
baron ; then approaching the hilly boundaries from Yorkshire, at a different passage
from Ratchdale, an ancient barony, afterwards succeeded by Lord Buryn, the present
baron thereof; then ascending easterly amongst those hills at Clidero he placed Ilbert
Lacy, a baron near the adjacent passage into Yorkshire; and more northward, not far
from his own castle at Lancaster, at Hornby he placed Roger de Montbegon. Then upon
the northern boundary from the Scots in Cumberland was placed at Gleston Michael
Flandrensis; and shortly after the Abbot of Furnes 4th W. Rufus placed upon the west
part possessing the Isle of Foldra and Walney, who convened with Will. de Lan-
caster; and long afterwards the King bestowed the same upon Ingelianus de Guyas in
Godefridus.

that part of the barony of Netherwyrsdal belonging likewise to the lords of Furness,
and the other side environed with the barony of Weeton, which, temp. W. Rufus, was
an appendant to the barony of Penwartham, and bestowed upon Abardus Bussel, brother

that year.—See Peerage, vol. ii. p. 54.] And lastly on that famous estuary of Ribble at
Penwortham, where remained an ancient castle from the time of the Saxons: here was
placed the barony given to Warin Bussel, who had this place bestowed upon him temp.
William the Conqueror, though it had then no baron. Leyland and great part of
Amounderness did anciently belong to the Bussels; for in the survey temp. Will. I. I
find one Prog. de Busbi and Albert Gresley who had Blackburn hundred, and afterwards
upon division betwixt them, Grelly had part of Leyland hundred, as Brindle, Worthing-
ton, and . . . . . . , and a knight's fee in Dalton, Wrightington, and P. . . . ., which
he gave in marriage with a daughter to one Orm, the son of Edward, and Ashton-under-
line. Montbegon had another part of Leyland hundred, which he held as annexed to
Hornby, as most part of Croston parish—viz. Croston, Madeley, Chorley, or Hasken-
more ; Tarlton and Hole, formerly part of Warinus's barony, belonging to the Villers,
and afterwards to Montbegon, as likewise Shevington, Welchwilet, and Chernoc; Gogard,
Adlington, and Duxby, belonged to Grelly. N.B.—The Baron of Warington held
divers territories in Derby hundred to be assistant to the Baron of Derby, and a fee or
two in the hundred of Amunderness, as the Baron of Manchester held divers fees in the
hundred of Leyland: the Baron of Newton a knight's fee in Blackburne hundred, etc.

is vested in the Legh of Lime family. The barons of Manchester were Grelley, Le Warre, West, and now Moseley. The
Castellani of Liverpool (of which see the succession, so far as we have been enabled to collect, folio 157) have not regularly
held that honour (account of 1588, see folio 171); they sold the manorial rights a few years ago to the Corporation of Liverpool.
As was before noted, Weeton, in the parish of Kirkham, an inconsiderable place, has still an annual fair. The first comes Derby,
whom we notice after Godfrid is Roger de Maresey, who sold the property to Blundevill, Earl of Chester 3. at his death it
went to the Peverals, Earl Ferrars; and the Baron of Warrington, Butler, held his lands from these Earls (see folio 4). We trace,
in a similar manner, the Baron of Penwortham, that royal manor, which Roger Lacy bought from Bushel (see folio 49) during
the time John Lackland was lord of Lancaster, which John succeeded Stephen, who was lord before he was king. William
de Blois, Randal Earl of Chester, and Hugh Cyvelock, etc., followed. Penwortham was then in possession of Buci, Busli, or Bushel,
as it is variously spelt; from him it went to Roger Lacy, and from his descendants to Thomas Earl of Lancaster, on his marriage
with Alice Lacy (see folio 91); it afterwards fell to the crown, from which it was purchased by the Fleetwoods; and is now the
Faringtons' property. See the Appendix, in various places, where this manor, and the royal manor of Tottington are mentioned.

upon so ample a field of inquiry.—Ed.

Lancashire sends two knights and twelve members to the British Senate : a number which is not equal
to the great rank and increased population of the county. It is 74 miles long and 14 to 44 miles wide,
and is computed to contain about 1,130,000 acres of land, of which 350,000 are in tillage, 450,000 in
pasture, and 400,000 in woodland and in an uncultivated state. It is divided into six hundreds; contains
six borough towns, twenty-one market towns, and sixty-eight parishes. .
“Before the time of Henry VIII. none were elected for any city or town but persons free of, or actually
“resident in such cities or boroughs; and so long they had their wages, as appears by the statute of 1st
“Henry W. which does but recite and confirm this ancient custom. Lancaster having several times sent
“two of her Burgesses to Parliament, ceased the 4th Edward III. till 1st Edward VI. about which time
“several burgesses finding themselves unable, or at least unwilling to defray the expenses of their repre-
“sentatives, which was 2s. per day (more than now) for each member all the while they were going to,
“remained at, and were returning from Parliament, procured a discharge therefrom, some on their petition
“to the king in Parliament, others by the connivance of the Sheriffs, who made special returns in their
“favour; others by the influence and protection of their lords, which probably was the case of this town,
“its lords being generally one of the blood royal ; but in the reign of Henry VIII. this good old law of
“paying the representatives beginning to be neglected, and the ambition of neighbouring gentlemen to
“make as many boroughs as they could, that they might be chosen at them, introducing the trick of
“choosing members for beef and ale (as Mr. Tyrrell expresses it); most of the boroughs who had formerly
“sent members to parliament desired to have this privilege renewed to them, that they might receive the
“advantages of the money spent amongst them at such elections.”"
We extract the following account of the grounds of appointment to the House of Commons from
George Kenion's MSS. :—
“1st. From LANCASTER two representatives were summoned to Parliament in the room of two ancient
“barons. 2d. Two from CLIDERO, instead of the ancient baron Clidero and the baron of Netherwyresdale.
“3d. From PRESTON two, to represent the ancient barons of Penwortham and Weeton. 4th. From
“WIGAN two burgesses representing in some measure . . . . 5th. From NEWTON two burgesses, in lieu
“of the ancient barons of Warrington and Salford, the male line of Delawares being extinct in Tho.
“Delaware. 6th. From LIVERPOOL two burgesses, in the room of the barony of Wednes and that of
“Derby hundred—viz. twelve burgesses to represent the twelve ancient barons by tenure, and two knights
“out of the county to represent the common people in general.”
Thus far our author. We shall not enter into the history of the boroughs, nor give a list of the former
members, but refer to Charles Whitworth, Esq., M.P.'s Succession of Parliaments, published 1764; to
Beatson's Chronological List of both Houses of Parliament, from the Union in 1708 to the third Parliament
of the United Kingdom in 1807; or the later publication, in six volumes, of Oldfield's Representative
History, published in 1816. We mean however to introduce the arms of the present Knights and Bur-
gesses in Parliament for the county of Lancaster, and the seals of the borough towns, with some short
notices of each, mostly from the MSS. before quoted.

From Mr. George Kenion's MSS.
“Lancaster is the Shire Town of the whole County Palatine of Lancaster. In the British time it was
:alled Caer-werid, or the Green City, from werid or verid, derived from veridii, signifying green. Some
memorials of that ancient city do now, or lately did, remain—viz, part of a stupendous wall, hanging as it
were from the precipice of a high hill or mount upon the east side of the church and castle down towards
the ancient ford, and near unto the foot of the present bridge, which no doubt was then a defence to that
ford over the river called Lune or Lone.”
“In the time of the Romans this town was one of their colonies, and from the river Lone, by them
called Longovicus, or the Vicus on the Lune, according to the custom of those times, the people always
prefixing a syllable or two of the old British appellation. Thus Manchester from main, the British word
for a rock, and cestre (castra) a camp. Also Rybo or Rygodum, a word compounded of rhe, a river,
Koligokºv and dunum, a hill, because it stood upon elevated ground near the river Rhi-bel (or Bels River,
because the Phaenicians called it Beli Sania) and was built near the mouth of this river, as Longovicus was
upon the river Lone, where the Prefectus Numeri Longovicariorum was placed under the Duke of Britain.”
“This town of Lancaster was of great renown in the time of the Romans and long afterward, for many
Roman coins and other monuments have been dug up here of late, and especially at the re-edifying of those
flanking walls of the present castle, which were in the last civil wars demolished. I saw myself a copper
piece of Coccius Nerva, the inscription much varying from another of the same emperor found at Ribchester.”
“After the departure of the Romans, this place continued in much credit, and remained
undemolished by the Danes; for after King Egbert had reduced the Saxon Heptarchy into a

FROM THE SAME INFORMATION.
Edward the Confessor. “Theobald Walters, son of Henry, son of Hubert, and brother to Hubert
Walter, a bishop of Canterbury, obtained a grant of the fee of the lordship
of Preston, and the whole wapentake or forest of Amunderness, of Richard I.
to hold by three knights' fees. This grant bears date 22d April, 1 Richard I.
(being the Friday next ensuing his coronation). In 6 Richard I having such
large possessions in this county, he was made sheriff thereof, in which office
he continued till the 1st of John inclusive. He contributed very largely to-
wards the redemption of King Richard I, as may be seen in Madox's History
of the Exch, page 412. His son Theobald, who married Maud, sister to
Thomas Becket, a bishop of Canterbury, took upon himself the surname of
Butler upon being appointed Butler of Ireland. Tosti, fourth son of Godwin
Earl of Kent, being made Earl of Northumberland by Edward the Confessor
in the thirteenth year of his reign, anno 1056, then held Preston in Agmun-
see the large Union pedigree derness, with divers hamlets thereunto belonging, which Featherston afterwards
held 28th of Henry III.”
Horrocks. This borough sent members
to Parliament from the 23d to the
the 35th Edward II., when it omitted
to do so until 6th Edward VI. The
present members for the borough
are — Samuel Horrocks, Esq., an
eminent manufacturer who resides
§) at Larkfield, an elegant house in
^* the neighbourhood of Preston ; and
Edmund Hornby, Esq. of Dalton
Hall, near Burton, in Westmoreland,
nephew and son-in-law of the Right
Hon. the Earl of Derby, and son
of the late Reverend Geoffry Hornby,
the rector of Winwick; which living tºp
is now enjoyed by another son of
the late rector. See folios 101 and 229.
The CoRPORATION consists of a mayor,
2-5 Š recorder, seven aldermen, two bailiffs, and
º S. thirteen capital burgesses. Every inhabi-
tant who boils a pot enjoys the elective
franchise. This borough, in which Lord
Derby has possessed much influence, has
| frequently been contested, but the manu-
facturing interest seems to preponderate.
The seals, the arms of the town, are de-
scribed under Lancaster as the arms of
Lancashire, without the PP, which some
read pro patria, and others proud Preston—
rather say pictura pacis. The latter ex-
planation we presume to be the correct
one, for arms were given or granted as
complimentary to the bearer. -
These seals appear to us to be of a more modern date: the crown of Edward, independently of the
inscription, is similar to that which Sandford ascribes to Henry III. ; yet as the style of work would
refer to a much more recent date, we cannot suppose them to have been originally executed in the
time of Edward I. or II, but conclude these to be copies of the ancient ones.
“PRESTON is a corporate town, and has three weekly markets. It received its first charter from
King Henry II. This town and parish is in the hundred of Amounderness. It is situated on the
river Ribble, fifteen miles from Wigan, twenty-two from Lancaster, and about thirty-one from Liverpool.
The river is navigable only for small coasting vessels;” but by the canal to Lancaster and Kendal, and
that which unites with the Leeds and Liverpool, a communication is established with most parts of
England.
“Preston was made a burg or borough by Henry II, in the twenty-sixth year of his reign, when the
men thereof gave one hundred marks to have by charter the same liberties that the men of Newcastle had :
for the confirmation of which they paid 2d of King John sixty marks and four chascurs, or dogs.
And in the next year the men of Preston were fined in ten marks and a palfrey to have peace
touching a plaint which Theobald Walter had brought against them concerning the gibbet and gaol
in Preston. Their grants and liberties were also confirmed by Henry III. and Edward III.”

“The church of Preston, dedicated to St. Wilfred, was impropriated to the college of Leicester, and is
now in the patronage of Sir Henry Hoghton, Bart., and has in its parish the chapels of Broughton, St.
Lawrence new chapel, which having no certain endowment, the Rev. Samuel Peploe, vicar of Preston, pro-
cured the Queen's Bounty for it in 1717. This Mr. Peploe was promoted from the Vicarage of Preston
to the See of Chester in 1725, and was succeeded at Preston by his son, who in 1727 was presented by
the Dean and Chapter of Chester to the rectory of Northenden, or Northen, in that diocese, worth about
£150 per annum.
“In 1322, 16 Edward II. in the octaves of the nativity of St. John the Baptist, Robert Bruce, enter-
ing into England by Carlisle, kept on his way through Cumberland, Westmoreland, and Lancaster, to
Preston, which town he burnt as he had done others in the countries he had passed through ; and after
three weeks and three days, says Mr. Hollinshead, returned into Scotland without engaging.
“Sir Edward Stanley, Bart., then knight of this shire, afterwards Earl of Derby, made a present of his
Majesty's picture to the corporation of Preston, which was put up in the town hall there 30th October
1729, being the king's birthday, when he entered the 47th year of his age.
“In the year 1715 a rebellion breaking out in Scotland in favour of the Pretender, a party of Scots
marched into England, and being joined by several disaffected people, especially papists, came to Preston
in the month of November, where they were met and beaten by the king's forces under the command of
the generals Willes and Carpenter. Many of them being taken prisoners, were tried, found guilty of high
treason, and executed in January and February following—viz. Ric. Chorley of Chorley, Esq.; Mr. Shuttle-
worth of Preston; Mr. Roger Moncaster, an attorney at Garstang; Mr. John Ord of Lancaster; Mr.
Thos. Cowp of Walton in the Dale, all neighbouring gentlemen, and seven or eight others at Preston, five
at Wigan, five at Manchester, of which Thomas Siddall, a blacksmith and captain of the mob, was one,
and his head was set up on the cross there; four at Lancaster, four at Garstang, and four at Liverpool,
one of which was Mr. Collingwood, who had an estate of £2000 per annum. Also in 1745 another
rebellion broke out in favour of the same Pretender, when the Scots again entered England by Carlisle,
which they took ; and marching to Derby, they retreated from thence before the Duke of Cumberland, who
retook Carlisle, after a few days' siege, on 30th December 1745, and totally defeated them at Culloden,
16th April 1746, O.S. For this nine of the Manchester men, taken at Carlisle, were executed at Kenning-
ton Common, near London, 30th July 1746; and the heads of Mr. Francis Townley, a younger brother
of the Townley family, and Mr. Fletcher, were fixed upon Temple Bar; and those of Mr. Thomas Deacon,
son of a physician at Manchester, and Thomas Syddal, a barber there, son of the above Thomas Syddal,
blacksmith, on the top of the Exchange at Manchester, 18th September 1746.”

WE have already made some notices of this borough, seaport, and market town, in the situation of which,
within the last two hundred years, a wonderful alteration has occurred; from a small fishing town it has
--- become the second port in the kingdom. Whilst the population of the
county increased from 1801 to 1811, during the war, 155,578, Liver-
pool increased about one-ninth of that number; and whilst the annual
value of the whole county in the property-tax for the year ending April
5, 1815, was three millions one hundred and six thousand and nine
§ pounds, Liverpool was charged with an income of more than one-tenth
of that sum, being nearly twice as much as was charged upon the town
of Manchester.

Account of Liverpool, from Mr. Geo. Kenion's MSS.
“This place is called by the Welch or ancient
Britains in their language Llyr-pul or the Sea Pool, be-
cause the river here for fourteen or fifteen miles from the
s p * : * * * * sea dilates itself, being in breadth about two miles. Shortly
after the Romans conquered this island, part of the Brigantes or people of this province were stiled by
them Flavia Cesariensis. By the early Saxons they were said to make part of their Northumbria; but
after King Egbert had reduced the Saxon Heptarchy into one monarchy, he and his successor, King Alfred,
separated the part of the ancient Northumbria into a shire, or province of itself, and called it Lancashire,
which after the Norman Conquest was by King William granted to a valiant and faithful soldier of his
associates, called Roger Pictavensis: he fixed Godefridus, one of his chief confidants, in the opposite part of
the county from his own station, which was at Lancaster; namely, near the river Mersey, over which, out

and because this baron was made his vice comes, and
was so much employed in civil affairs that he could not

wharfage of Lirepul water, and therein placed another

ten carucates of land in Septon, Keurden, and Thornton,

constant attendance therein, he was charged only half a

Here Mr. Kenion recapitulates the charter of Richard II. confirming and enlarging those of Henry I.
anno. 1105, of John 1207, and of Edward III. in the second year of his reign, 1329. The date of
Richard's charter is 1382. (See Appendix.)
11th Edward II. 1317, a grant (noticed by us folio 164) to the Priory of Birkenhead will be found
in the tower rolls, as well as four grants to pave the town of Liverpool (made anno. 1329, 1334, 1337,
and 1382), as well as other matters relating to the said town, and also a confirmation of the 1st of Henry
W. 1413, of ample liberties granted to the said town of Liverpool." *
“An extent of the lands and tenements of our Lord Duke of Lancaster, taken before William
Laurence and W. Blaby, assigned by the council for that purpose, of May, 20 Edward III. Liverpool,
the extent there taken by the oaths of Roger de More and Rob. de Moss, Ri. de Walton, Ad. Williams, Jurors

chamber, chapel, brewhouse, and bakehouse, cum quodam puteo competent built, whose site nil valet #9

taking of fish, which is set by the year for 5s. 6d. And a passage over the water betwixt Lirepool and
Birkhead worth 40s. There are two wind milns, one horse miln of the value of £6: 13:4. The fair for

which passage boat, milns, toll, are let at £24 tº annum, and of other things at £26 at the feast of St.
Michael for twenty years now next coming. Also the perquisites of the two great courts, and the three
weeks' courts, value #' annum £4. Also Toxteth Park worth 6s. 8d. 43 annum, which the forresters are
charged with. There is a certain park at Toxteth containing in circuit five miles by estimation, the herb-
age of which is yearly worth £17, the pessona or hog feeding there, cum busta ejus.
“Item, they declare there are there 168 burgages, which are held of the lord as parcel of the manor
of . . .” for one carucat of land as it is found by the inspeximus of the extent taken in the 1st of

“CLAIM. A claim put in upon a quo warranto temp. Henry VII, the mayor, bailiffs, and common-
ality of the borough of Liverpool claim to hold a free borough, and a market each week upon Saturday,
and a fair twice a-year; and to be quit of all fines and amerciaments, and suit and service to the county or
wapentake, and of all tolls, lastages, passages, pontage, and stallage through all England and all sea ports,
and to have court leet with waifs and strays, soc and sac, tol, thum and infangtheof and gallow, acemenda
of assis of beer, &c., pillory and tumbrel, gild merchant and hansa, and all liberties to a gild merchant
belonging, and to elect one major and one serjeant at mace yearly.”
See a corresponding grant by Henry IV. in the Appendix, anno 1399.
It appears, then, that Liverpool decreased from the year 1346 to the year 1565 (being 219 years)
thirty houses, and so in proportion no doubt in inhabitants. It is reported that Liverpool styled itself in
1571, “her Majesty's poor decayed Town;” but how great the change must have been, when in 1811, a
period of 236 years, we find in the same town, 21,125 houses of various descriptions: and since that date
buildings have been continually added, independently of the number of cellars that have been occupied.
The enterprise of merchants, the activity of mariners, and the skill and industry of mechanics, have
effected all this.
Well might Mr. Erskine say, on his visit to Liverpool a few years ago, on beholding the town from
the hill opposite Vernon's Hall—“If I were capable of painting in words the impression it made on my
“imagination, it would form a beautiful picture indeed! I had before and often been at all the sea-ports
“in this island, and believing that having seen Bristol, and those other towns that justly pass for great
“ones, I had seen everything in this great nation of navigators on which a subject should pride himself, I
“own I was astonished and astounded, when, after passing a distant ferry, and ascending a hill, I was told
“by my guide,” “All that you see spread out beneath you—that immense place, which stands like another

The state of society and manners in Liverpool is briefly, but elegantly detailed by OBSERVATOR, in the
Monthly Magazine for 1801. Much may be said in its praise for the encouragement which it has bestowed
upon the arts within the last forty-five years. The improved state of the Blind School, since Observator
wrote ; its delightful Botanic Garden ; and the Institution, the latter of which is upon the eve of being
opened, are all deserving of notice. The Monthly Magazine for 1799 gives an interesting account of the
Athenaeum; and the Gentleman's contains several papers, which ought to be preserved and recorded with
the history of this town.

King Edward the Confessor held the lordship of Newton, as appears by Domesday Book. The
Langtons, who held the barony of Newton (otherwise the Makerfeld fee) for three hundred years, were
lords of West Langton, in the county of Leicester. Of this family was
John Bishop of Chichester, and chancellor in the time of Edward I. In
Baron of Newton. I that reign John de Langeton acquired by marriage with Alina, grand-
w daughter and heir of Robert Banastre, the barony of Newton.
“There is a curious old hall built of wood, with a good deal of painted
glass in the windows. It stands on a rocky foundation, and behind the
house the rock is channelled in an uncommon manner, and appears to have
had once subterraneous passages, now laid open by the surface of the rock
being taken away.”
1 Elizabeth, members were first summoned from Newton ; the whole
patronage of the borough is in about sixty nominal votes, who hold burgage
tenements at the value of 40s. and upward, but the power of nomination is
entirely vested in the Leghs of Lime and Hadock, lords of Newton. The
seal of the borough is annexed, and is the crest of that family.
The present members for this borough are—John Ireland Blackburne,
Esq., son of the county member, and Thomas Legh, Esq. of Lime, in
Cheshire, and Haddock, near Newton, Lanc.
The town is one of the chapelries under Winwick: the certified value
is £18:9s., besides £20 per annum from the rector of Winwick.” The
patronage is vested in Thomas Legh, Esq., and has long been in the same
family. For an account of the late Col. Legh, see Gentleman's Magazine,
vol. 67, folio 716,-1797.

Successor to Mr. Herle (who was son of Edward Herle of Prideux

thought to be Norwich, and by others Winchester) is this Winwick. See his Primord. Eccles. Brit. Tab. 59 ; Cressy's

“King Oswald fighting against Penda, King of Mercia, was slain at a place called Macerfelth, anno 642, in the
38th year of his age, and on the 5th day of August ; on which day his memory was celebrated both in the Roman
and English Martyrologies. Camden and others, following Copgrave, place his death at Oswestry in Shropshire,
which was in Penda's dominions ; their chief conjecture for which seems to be, because there is a church and a well
dedicated to him ; but this argument would equally hold for Warton in this county, Burnsal in Yorkshire, and
several other places in the northern parts of England. It seems most probable that, as he was assaulted by Penda,
he must be slain within his own kingdom. Besides, as Winwick was a part of Oswald's dominions, and there is a
place there to this day called Mackerfelth, where Bede in his Ecclesiastical History, lib. 3, ch. 9, expressly says that
prince was slain ; as also does Higden in his Polychronicon, sub anno 642 ; and also since the parish of Winwick
itself was anciently and is yet called Macerfeld, and the church there dedicated to St. Oswald, king and martyr, was
by that name given by Stephen, Earl of Moreton (afterwards King Stephen) and Roger de Linscay, his chaplain to
the priory of St. Oswald at Nostal in Yorkshire, as appears in the Monasticon Angl. vol. ii., pp. 35 and 37; it is very
probable, if not certain, that Oswald was slain at Winwick in Lancashire, and not at Oswestry in Salop.”—From Mr.
John Lucas's, of Leeds, MSS.
During the time of Mr. Walpole's administration, Mr. William Shippen was member for Newton; he
served thirty-three years, from 1714 to 1747, and was esteemed a great patriot, always attacking the
ministers, and universally finding fault. It seems, however, that Mr. Walpole wished to re-model him a
little, and for that purpose called upon him : Shippen's trusty servant was at home, and it is said Wal-
pole began—“Your master's not in; where does he dine to-day?” “At home.” “What have you for dinner?”
“A shoulder of mutton.” “Does he dine at home to-morrow %" “Yes sir.” “What will you then have?”
“The mutton cold; and the next day he dines also at home, and we shall have it hashed.” At this recep-
tion Mr. Walpole walked away, despairing ever to bring a man like Shippen over to his side. He however
ultimately succeeded, and it was a settled point with Shippen and Sir Robert Walpole, that if the latter
wanted £20,000 for the navy, he was to ask double that sum, or one-third more than he wanted ; and
Shippen stipulated, and it was agreed, that he should have the credit of beating Sir Robert down with his
lungs of leather to that sum which Walpole wanted. Shippen's letters, which are in possession of the
Leghs at Lime, may perhaps throw some light upon the politics of those times. The Stewarts were at
that time the great favourites of the Leghs' party, but no man could be more warm for the house of
Brunswick than the late Col. Thomas Leigh, who raised a regiment of fencible light dragoons, second to
his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales's own regiment.

Is an ancient borough and market town, and sends two members to parliament. It is governed by a mayor,
recorder, and twelve aldermen, and an indefinite number of burgesses: the rector is lord of the manor. The
parish is extensive, and its population great, as may be seen under its proper
head. Richard St. George Norroy, in his visitation book (now remaining
in the College of Arms) gives the drawing of three seals belonging to this
corporation: we have been favoured with only one, which is printed in the

“The town and borough of Wiggin was anciently incorporated by the

The town hall was built in 1720, at the joint ex- John Hodgson, Esq.
pense of the then members, Lord Barrymore and Sir
Roger Bradshaw, Bart. It would seem to have been
in general a very extravagant borough to its representa-
tives, upon whom heavy contributions are laid.
The patronage is, however, now totally changed.
The present representatives are Sir Robert Holt Leigh,
Bart., and John Hodgson, Esq.; the former residing at
Hindley Hall and Whitely, and the latter at Ellerbeck,
ſº an elegant new house, near Wigan.
This borough first sent members 23 and 25 Ed-
ward I., but made no other return until the 1st of
Edward VI. The bill for making the river Douglas
navigable to the Ribble was first brought into the house
in January 1719, soon after the Mersey and Irwell, and
the Weaver had been made navigable to Liverpool. The See folio 258.
bill passed the house on the 12th February, after a warm
debate; the division was 73 against 27. George Kenion, Esq. (the gentleman, we believe, whose MSS.
we have so freely used), represented Wigan in two parliaments, from 1710 to 1714.
Three orders were made for paving this vill, temp. Edward III.

ACCOUNT OF CLITHEROE BURGACE.
FROM KENION's Mss.
THE first account we find of this Wapentake or Hundred of Blackburn, is in Domesday Book,' wherein it
appears that Roger Pictavensis gave the same to Roger Busli and Albert Grelle, and there were so many
men that held eleven carucates of land and an half, which he granted to be quit for three years, and
therefore it was not arrented at the time of this survey. After this the Conqueror in the last year of his
reign, gave the whole Wapentake with all its franchises, to Ilbert Lasey, the first feodist thereof who, besides
other lands, had also the lordship and Honor of Pontefract.” Afterwards, 12, 13, King John, in his survey of
lands held in capite, Roger Lacy held five Knights' fees of the fee of Clydero, which were in the hands of
our Lord the King. Then by an inspeximus of King Ric. 8th July 8th of his reign, by a certificate made
by the treasurer and chamberlain, in these words: a claim upon a quo warranto, before Hugh Cressingham,
&c. at Lancaster, in 8” Trin. 20 Edward, H. Lacy, Earl of Lincoln, was summoned to shew by what
warrant he claimed to hold the Wapentake of Blackburnshire, to which he says, he had his court at
Clidero, vulgarly called the Wapentake of Blackburn, where all men of that Wapentake ought to plead
and were accustomed of lesser pleas time out of mind; as the vice comes in other Wapentakes which were
in the hands of Edmund, brother of our Lord the King; but the pleas de vetito namio and others, which
belonged to the crown of our Lord the King, or by Returna Brevis of our Lord the King, he there doth
not claim to plead. 2. As to the market at Clidero he saith, he and his ancestors, from the reign of our
Lord King William the Conqueror, &c., have been accustomed to hold a market at Clidero each week, upon
Saturday. 3. As to the fair at Clidero, he produced the Charter of King John, grandfather to our Lord
the King, in the 4th year of his reign, by which he granted, that Roger Lasey and his heirs should have
for ever one fair each year, for two days continuance, viz. on the day of St. Mary Magdalene, and the day
following, at Clidero, with all liberties. As to the Free Chase he saith, that he and all his ancestors, time
out of mind, have ever been accustomed to have a Free Chase in his aforesaid fees of Blackburnshire. As
to his market at Ratchdale, he showed a charter. As to the wrec of sea, he claims to have in his manor of
Penwortham, in Leylandshire, with all its members, and in North-meles and Wydnes in Derbyshire, and in
Newton, Freckelton, Warton in Amundernes, infangtheof and assize of bread and beer in Clidero, Pen-
wortham, Ratchdale, Totington, Widnes, Apulton, Denton, Upton, Crounton, and in all his fees in
Ratchdale, and the Wapentake of Blackburnshire, Amundernes, Derbyshire. As to the Free Warren he
claimed to have in Coln, Parva, Mersden, Magna Mersden, Brerecliffe, Burnley Padiham, Penulton Worston,
Downham, Chatburn, Clidero, Widnes, Apelton, Denton, Upton, Crounton, and in oibus feodis suis
in Ratchdale, and Wapent. de Blackburnshire, Amunderness, Derbyshire. As to attachment and .
making distress by his proper bailiff, concerning those things which belong to his said court of
Clidero ; and likewise in all other his fees that belong to his court. As to the assize of bread
and beer, he useth that liberty at Clidero and Ratchdale as belonging, and annexed to the said
market and fair. As to holding of pleas concerning certain transgressions within his fees committed,
he says, that he and all his ancestors in these and other manors which he now holds from the aforesaid
conquest, &c., have been used, and other liberty, viz. that if any transgressor was committed within his
aforesaid fees, it was lawful to them at the plaintiff's suit, or ex officio suo, if the suit was not entered, to
attach the transgressor for appearance in his court, and the transgressor to be convicted, i.e. the first time,
according to the manner and greatness of the fault, except in pleas of the crown, &c. And as to the word
blodwit not named, or if it were named in his court alterius se inde non entromittat ; and he left that to
be determined by the King or Sheriff in the county that he and his tenants de custo de
felonum, &c. He saith that if the King's bailiffs have taken any thief or felon within the Earl's fee, the
aforesaid King's bailiffs shall bring them to prison, and keep them at their own peril. And if a thief, or
any other that shall be taken in the said Earl's fee for any thing, because the Earl cannot try them in his
court, he shall deliver them to the King's bailiffs, and the King's bailiffs shall receive them, and keep them
at their peril, and so he and all his ancestors have been accustomed aforetime. And as to being quit of
common fines and amerciaments, common for all his lands and fees in Blackburnshire, except in Dowham
and Witheston, which some of the Earl's ancestors gave to one Robert de Cestria, and which the Earl after-
wards did perquisite, of which our Lord the King is in possession of common fines, &c. And for part when
as the Earl in denarium he ought to be quit; and afterwards he saith that he will sequi erga Dom. Regem
de Gratia sua habenda. He claimeth also to be quit de com. fine and attachiumentis for his demean lands
in Leylandshire, Amundernes, Derbyshire. And likewise to be quit de feodis com. vulg except for his
land in Ratchdale, for which he doth suit ad com. Lanc. and ad Wap. de Salfordshir per Ballivum aut
affomatom suum. As to that none of the King's bailiffs shall enter into the fees of the Earl without the
Earl's presence, he saith that our Lord the King now in seisina to make distrains and attachments without
the presence of the Earl's bailiffs, when nevertheless they ought not so to do ; for he says that his ancestors,
and he himself, till this 14 years last past, were accustomed to make distresses and attachments by the
bailiffs, together with the bailiffs of the Lord our King. Et de hujus statu, he contends sequi erga Dom.
Regem de gratia sua habenda. And the Earl hath put in his place Robert de Hophale or Roger de Stubbs,
and the Earl Saith quod ipse preparatus respondere Dom. regi de husque presentate sunt in le Rageman.
And W Inge qui sequitur pro Dom. Rege saith, as to the presentment in le Rageman oro dum est
provisus, sed quando libertates predictas quas clamat, &c., petit quod inquiratur pro Dom. Rege qualiter ipse
et antecessores sui illis uti solebant et a quo tempore.
Juratores super sacramenta sua dicunt, that the aforesaid liberties which the said Earl and his ancestors,
and all others the lord's tenants, the aforesaid manors the Earl now holds are accustomed to have, all the
aforesaid liberties which the said Earl now claimeth in the said form which the said Earl now claims them
time out of mind sine aliqua temporis interruptione. And the said Earl and all his ancestors time out of
mind have had free chase in all his demean lands in Blackburnshire, &c. -

NEW BAYLEY, SALFORD, & RIVER IRWELL.
WE here present our readers with a slight sketch of the Manchester New Bayley (the building of which was commenced in
1787), situate on the Salford side of the river Irwell. This Prison, we have been informed, derived its name from that of a
very active Magistrate, Thomas Butterworth Bayley, Esq., who laid the first stone, and had paid great attention to the police of
the town. He resided at Hope, near Manchester, and served the office (now held by William Eccles, Esq. of Manchester) of
Receiver of the Duchy Rents for the County of Lancaster. He was a Candidate (but an unsuccessful one) for the representation
of Liverpool in Parliament, in the Election of 1768.
The old Gaol has the name of Bailiff, the Town being governed by a Boroughreeve and Bailiffs; having a Baron's Court,
held from the time of the Conquest; first, under the Grelleys; subsequently under the Barons le Warr; and in later times
under the Mosleys. In 1306, the Heiress of the Grelleys married Sir John de la Warr, whose son was summoned to Parliament
in 1349, and whose Heirs became Barons le Warr; the last, Joan, a female, married Sir Thomas West, who was at the Battles
of Cressy and Poitiers, and was summoned to Parliament in 1402. The Wests were also created Barons le Warr in 1595.
Manchester never sent Members to the Senate, except during the short-lived dynasty of Cromwell. Judging from the
scenes of commotion which have frequently been witnessed in the town, this is a circumstance little to be regretted by the
peaceable inhabitants.
The preceding view of the Collegiate Church at Manchester we present to our readers without comment, as its history has
been accurately given by the Manchester Historians. The Lithographic Portraits of Dr. White and his son, Mr. Charles White,
Surgeon, as well as the above, were executed by two Ladies of the same ingenious family. The Doctor and his son were highly
esteemed in their profession: the latter was the Author of several well-received Works on Surgery and Midwifery.
ON THE IMPROVEMENT OF LITHOGRAPHY.
CAN anything be more beautiful than the works of Mr. Charles Hullmandel, that great Master of Lithography? his Scenery of
Switzerland 1 Views of Canterbury and Kent, in his Britannia Delineata, assisted by Mr. Westall and Mr. Harding The
beauty of these specimens successfully rivals the finest productions of Foreign Artists.
To the Botanist, the art of Lithography will prove highly advantageous, not only in the great saving of expense, but also in
having fac-simile impressions from the pencil of the original designer. To many other branches of science it will also be found
equally serviceable ; and we would particularly recommend it to the attention of those Ladies who have a taste for drawing, as
any number of copies of a portrait or other production from their own pencil may be obtained by this art in a short time.
The great improvement which has been made in this admirable discovery, since its introduction into England, naturally leads
us to anticipate the most gratifying results; and we have no doubt but a few years will show that Lithography will be capable
of producing works of the greatest beauty and utility. Indeed, the specimens of the present day will fully elucidate the fact.
Any person, who can write or draw, may, by perseverance become a Lithographist, and the Printing is easily learned by
practice; consequently, on its first introduction, a number of artists availed themselves of the opportunity of trying their skill: a
few persevered, and succeeded beyond their most sanguine expectations, but the majority renounced it as impracticable—prejudice
cried aloud that no practical good would be effected by it—but, when we examine the gradual rise and progress of this science,
from the imperfect productions of its first essayists to its present beautiful excellence, those objections and the subsequent product
tions, will at once yield us amusement and surprise. The splendid impressions, in various colours, as produced by Mr. Hullmandel,
and the beautiful portraits drawn by Mr. Gauci and others, may prove an introduction of great value, and tend to stimulate our
Artists to a further development of the capability of this wonderful art. For who can now define how far this science shall yet
extend ? Most probably it may hereafter become useful to Calico Printers. Lithography appears likely to be more useful in this
branch than any other. Stone has already been discovered in this country, which answers the purpose of Lithography, and if solid
blocks could be obtained sufficiently large to form printing rollers, the benefits would be incalculable, particularly in flower
printing, as impressions can be taken more speedily and at a cheaper rate in Lithography than from either Copper-plate or
aquatinta colouring. - -
We cannot here omit noticing a Lithographic Work now publishing in Manchester, by Mr. James, of Views of all the Old
Buildings in Manchester, which will hand down to posterity the ancient architecture of that now famous and flourishing town.
Nor can we pass over the Meat Etchings, now publishing, of all the Old Halls in Lancashire, which, though certainly not palaces,
have yet picturesque beauty enough to gratify the Antiquary, and convey to future ages what this country was once adorned
with, when wood-post and peterill was the order of the day. The latter Work is published by N. G. Philips in Liverpool.

CHETHAM'S COLLEGE, MANCHESTER,
Is a noble Institution of the man whose name it bears; many interesting particulars of this man's life may be found in
the British Museum, but amongst these we will first notice those which relate entirely to the History of the County
Palatine and Duchy of Lancaster.
In Chetham's College, Manchester is a great collection of MSS. principally relating to the History of the County and Duchy
of Lancaster—viz.
6702–Kuerden's (Dr. Richard), Collections for an Intended History of Lancashire, 2 vols, folio.
An original copy of the Visitation of Lancashire, anno 1662, supposed to be in Dugdale's own hand-writing, containing
284 entries of Arms and Genealogies, &c. The date inserted is 1668; the title runs thus, “These are a Copie of
the Armes which were Entered in the Visitation of Lancashire, made by me, Willian Dugdale, Esq., Norroy King
of Arms, in 1664 et 1665.”—A MS. vol. small quarto."
6719–There is also another Volume, No. 6719, in the same College : “The Visitation of Lancashire, made anno 1567, by
William Smith, Rouge Dragon:” in which I see two respectable names now sinking into oblivion, the last of the
first male line ending their days in charity's lap, or a workhouse, whilst many of the younger branches enjoy the
fruits of their ancestors' industry, for by such must they have attained that pre-eminence from which they have
sprung.
To this also has been lately added the Collection of Books in MS., Arms and Pedigrees, of the late Thomas Barritt of
Manchester ; an ardent Collector of Antiquities ; which Collection was lately judiciously purchased by the
Trustees of the said Library.
6694–Besides the above, there is, No. 6694, A Copy of the Visitation of various Counties, particularly of Cheshire and Lan-
cashire, by Flower, and Glover his assistant, transcribed from a Copy in the possession of Robert Cooke, Clarencieux
King of Arms, in 1583; Folio ; Visitation 1580.
6700–Hollinworth, a Presbyterian Teacher of Manchester; or his History of the Town. See Nicholson's Historical Library, or
Whitaker's History of Manchester, vol. i. &c. There are also other matters, but I refer to the Catalogue of 1791 for
particulars, or other later Publications, but that work alone contains 6723 very valuable articles.
THE BRITISH MUSEUM.
We will now point out our greatest Deposit of the History of Lancashire, the Harleian, Cottonian, and other Manuscripts,
in the British Museum: but yet we are informed there are great stores of information locked up in Manchester and
its Neighbourhood; we hope they will be brought forward, and given to some Historian of Salford Hundred.
Here the Collectors of Topography will find a treat for any County or any History of recorded matters; we shall
confine ourselves to LANCASHIRE, and principally to the Harleian MSS.; but the whole Collection deserves
attention.
473—Sampson Erdeswick, 1574, Lancashire, &c.
891—Visitation of Lancashire, 1567, by William Flower, Norroy.
1152—Copies of Lancashire Arms, by Thomas Knight, Rouge Croix, 1567.
1158–Lancashire Sheriffs (see 2122, ar. 19) and Arms, in alphabetical order, Challoner and others, 1567.
2042–Kuerden's Letter to Randal Holme, &c.
2076—(Well worthy of attention) Benalt's Visitation, 24 Henry VIII., fol. 11, &c.
2086—Visitation of William Flower, 1567, written by Glover, &c.
1468–Contains a Copy by Withy and some others—viz., White and Sanders.
1549—Visitation of Lancashire, 1613, by Richard St. George, Norroy, and Henry Bluemantle.”
6159—Visitation, 1567, augmented, 1598, by William Smith, Rouge Dragon.
2085 to 2087—Contain matters relating to Lancashire.
Besides these numbers, and others we have quoted in this Book, for other Family Genealogies and Arms, we refer to the
following :-No. 891,” 893, bound with 1170, containing Visitations, 1612, 1613, 1566, 1580, &c. &c. 1057, 1152,
1156, 1234, and many other articles vol. ii., see 1367, 1382, 1386, 1437, 1452, 1457, 1468, 1470, original of
the grants, 31 and 130 to Bispham, 33 Rowe, 67 Lightbourne, 81 Langston, 132 Mosley, all Lancashire families ;
copies of original grants to these Families, and of their Arms, will be found in Aikin's History of Manchester ; 1499,
1940, 1987, 1997, 2017, 2042, 2055, 2075, Hesketh, Norris 2089, 15 Coats of Arms, Molineux, 2176, anno
1634,” 2112, 2518, 2219; vol. iii. 4994, 2176 : and for General History, &c. of the County and Duchy, to the
following, in the same Collection, 336, 607, 608, 1196, 1507, 1925, 1926, 1947, 2017, 2041, 2043, 2050, 2060,
2063, 2074, 2076, 2077, 2085, 2101, 2129, 2173, 2176,2219, 2223, 6136, to which several more may be added.
See particularly vol. iv. Index, fol. 146, 291, 292. To which may be added, Cole's Eatracts, about 45 vols. very
valuable documents ; Bishop Kennet's Collection of Lives of Clergymen ; Musgrave's Register of Deaths;–all in the
Museum ;” also Mr. Upcott's (of the London Institution) valuable Repository of English Topography.
Most of the above was written for my own use, several years since, my wants leading me to collect where the resources
of our Lancashire Fragments lay. In the course of the last month thus far was written, and actually in the hands
of the Printer, when I received with great pleasure, from a valued friend, a little treatise called an Indear to Heralds'
Visitations in the British Museum ; it is a most convenient and useful Book of reference, and must save a great
deal of time. Were other little volumes collected in the like manner upon other subjects of County History, not
only for this County, but all others, they would be a great acquisition to the Historian and Compiler of public
records.

Richard Hetherington, Esq.
IN giving some few particulars of the boroughs of
this county we are led into a parish whose history,
the most perfect that has been published of any
part of Lancashire, has been written by the
learned Dr. Whitaker, of Whalley': we have to
regret that he has laid aside the history of the
Vale of Lune, which abounds with beautiful
Scenery, and is the ancient residence of a race of
brave men, originally placed there for the defence
of the county against the incursions of the Scots.
Manchester returned two members to Par-
liament during the time of Oliver Cromwell; but
perhaps the circumstance of their being withdrawn
has proved a real advantage to the town.
The manufacturing establishments of Manchester extend
not only over Salford humdred, but over most part of Black-
burn, and on the northern and southern parts of the hundred
of h’est Derby. We refer our readers for a short and compre-
hensive account of this subject to Britton's Beauties of Lanca
shire; Mr. Houseman's Topographical Description of Cumberland,
Westmorland, and Lancashire; Cooke's Topographical and Sta-
tistical Description of Lancashire, said to be written by the
Reverend Mr. Shuttleworth ; West's Antiquities of Furmes;
and Clarke' Historical Description of the town of Lancaster, dºc.
We must not leave this part of the county without noticing
the family of Lord Byron. His arms, as well as those of some
of his neighbours and other families, we subjoin —
tºovernor of Tortola, and of Burton,
in Lume Vale.

His ancestors were originally of Nottingham, but one of
them marrying a daughter and heir of one of the Claytons, of
Clayton, the family became established in Lancashire, and con-
nected with the Banasters of Hyndley, Booths of Barton, Ash-
tons of Ashton, Butlers of Bewsey, Atherton of Atherton,
Molineux of Sefton, &c.
The Claytons, the first Lancashire family with which the
Byrons united themselves, are known to have held the serjeantry
of Leylandshire during the reign of King John, (see Calender
Rolls)” but how much earlier than that date we have not
ascertained. In the Baronagium by Edmundson, there is a
full pedigree of the Byrons, mentioning this connection with
the Claytons and other Lancashire families.
The present Lord Byron, (great nephew to the fifth Lord
Byron) so justly celebrated for his high poetic talents, is, we
believe, yet in possession of Newstead Abbey, the estate. “ of
his fathers,” as well as Rochdale estate and manor, which he
advertised to be sold in 1815; comprising the tolls of markets
and fairs, and manorial rights, extending over forty-five
thousand acres of land ; COURT LEET and COURT BARON, ex-
tending over the townships of Huddersfield, Spotland, Butter-
worth, and Castleton, in the county of Lancaster, and the
chapelry of Saddleworth, in the county of York.

William Radcliffe Esq. “Radcliffe was anciently the estate of, and gave name to, a flourishing family,
Rouge Croix. of which was descended Sir John Radcliffe, who married Katherine, daughter and
heir of Edward Lord Burnel, of Acton Burnel. Edward Radcliffe, of Radcliffe, Esq.
was living in 1664. A principal branch of this family was early seated at Ordsall,
near Manchester, of which place Robert Radcliffe, Esq. was High Sheriff of the county,
- 13 and 14 Edward III.; whose son John had issue—John, who died S. P., and
©->~~ Richard Radcliffe, of Ordsall, Esq. who married two heiresses; first, Matilda, daughter
©) of John Leigh, of Booths, Esq.; secondly, Sibel, daughter of Robert Cliderow, Esq.;
by the former he had Sir John Radcliffe, Knt. whose son John died about 20 Henry
VI., as did his son Alexander Radcliffe, of Ordsall, Esq. 15 Edward IV. and his son
and heir, William Ratcliffe, Esq., 14 Henry VII. John Ratcliffe, of Ordsall, Esq. heir
to William, died in the life-time of his father, but left issue Sir Alexander Radcliffe,
of Ordsall, Knt. who died 3 Edward VI, whose son Sir William Radcliffe, of
Ordsall, Knt., married two wives, and left issue, &c. Another branch lived at
Leigh, at which place Alexander Radcliffe, Esq. was living, and had several children, in 1664. Another
settled at Wimberley, in Lancashire, about the beginning of the reign of Henry V. of which Sir Richard
Radcliffe, Knt. married Alice, daughter and heir of Lionel Daltrey, Esq., by whom Sir Thomas Radcliffe of
Wimberley, Knt., who died about 19 Henry VI, whose lineal descendants continued there till the reign of
Queen Elizabeth, when William Radcliffe, Esq., who married Ann, daughter of Sir John Holcroft, died S.P.
Another branch settled at Todmorden, in this hundred, temp. Henry IV. of which was Sir George Radcliffe,
Knt., one of the Privy Council in Ireland to King Charles I. Thomas Radcliffe, Fellow of University
College, Oxford, and secretary to Dr. Juxon, Archbishop of Canterbury, when Lord Treasurer of England.
Joshua Radcliffe, of Todmorden, Esq., was living in 1667.”—H. Watson, Esq.'s MS.–Lucas.

“The church of Blackburn was impropriated to Whalley Abbey, but is now in the gift of the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury. It has under it seven chapels—viz., Balderston, Upper Darwen (which had the
Queen's Bounty in 1719), Harwood, Lango, Low Church, Samlesbury, and Tockholes. The Rev. Mr.
Bolton, who was born here, was parson of Broughton, in Northamptonshire, where he died 17th December,
1631. His life was written by Mr. Bagshaw. He left a son, called Samuel, who was D.D. and Prebendary
of Westminster, and died 11th February 1668.”—Idem. -

where Adam Dineley lived, about 7th Edward II. and had issue
John Dineley, who was seized of lands in Downham, by charter
from Henry Duke of Lancaster, 32 Edward III. Henry, grandson
of the said John Dineley, had two daughters co-heirs—viz. Mar-
garet, of full age 2d Richard II, married Richard Ratcliffe, of Tod-
mordon, Esq.; and Alice, Robert Holden, of Simonston, Esq. This
lordship was purchased, temp. Queen Elizabeth, by Richard, second
son of Ralph Ashton, of Lever, Esq., who gave it to Sir Ralph
Ashton, of Whalley, Bart., from whom it came to the Ashetons, of
Middleton.”

“The lordship thereof was holden by Richard Fitton of
John de Lacy, baron of Hulton and lord of Blackburnshire, whose
male issue succeeded therein for seven generations, when Richard
Fitton, of Great Harwood, leaving three daughters co-heirs—Maud,
married to Sir William Hesketh, Knight; Elizabeth to Roger
Nowel, of Read, Esq.; and Amabel to Edmund Leigh, of Crofton,
Esq. About 17th Edward III. the estate was divided. Fitton
bore—argent, 2 chevrons and a canton, sable : Little Harewood
was the seat of a younger branch of the Claytons.”

“Sir Richard, second son of Sir Adam Hoghton, of Houghton
Tower, married Jane, daughter and heir of Richard Ratcliffe, in
whose right (I suppose) he was seized of Pendleton, which he made
his chief seat. He was one of the knights of the shire for the
county, 9 Henry IV. and levied a fine of the manors of Pendleton,
Salebury and Clayton, 10th Henry V., and died about 3d Henry
WI. ; whose male issue lived at Pendleton till about the middle of
the reign of James I., when J. Hoghton, Esq. of Pendleton, leaving
two daughters co-heirs, Mary and Katharine, the latter was married
to Thomas, third brother of Sir Richard Hoghton, knight and
baronet, who had by her four daughters, co-heirs; Christian married
to Thomas Woodsall, Ann to Simon Blakey, Jane to John Benn,
Katharine to John Whitside,-all which daughters and co-heirs,
with their husbands, sold the lordship of Pendleton to Saville Rat-
cliffe, Esq. of Mearley in Lanc., whose heirs yet enjoy it.”

A PPE N DIX.
(ſtºta ht 32thill.
IN the King's Remembrancer's Office of the Court of Exchequer are preserved Two antient Books called the Testa de
Nevill, or Liber Feudorum, which are described in the Return of Abel Moysey, Esq., Deputy King's Remembrancer,
printed in the Reports from the Select Committee of the House of Commons, appointed to inquire into the State
of the Public Records of the Kingdom, &c., page 138, as containing, “Nomina Villarum, Serjeanties, and Knights
“Fees, in several Counties, taken by Inquisition temp. Hen. III. & Edward I.” And it is there also observed,
that “these Two Books contain the Compilations known by the name of Testa de Nevill; ” and that in the cover
of each Book there is a memorandum in an ancient hand, of which the following is a Copy ; “Contenta pro
“. Evidencijs habeantur hic in Sc’c’io, et non pro Recordo.”
These Books contain, principally, an account—
1st. “Of Fees holden either immediately of the King, or of others who held of the King in capite, and, if
alienated, whether the Owners were enfeoffed ab antiguo, or de novo ; as also Fees holden in Frankalmoigne,
with the values thereof respectively.
&
6
6
&
2d, “Of Serjeanties holden of the King, distinguishing such as were rented or alienated, with the values of
“ the same.”
3d. “Of Widows and Heiresses of Tenants in capite, whose Marriages were in the gift of the King, with the
‘ values of their Lands.”
6
4th. “Of Churches in the Gift of the King, and in whose hands they were.”
5th. “Of Escheats, as well of the Lands of Normans as others, in whose hands the same were, and by what
* Services holden.”
6
6th. “Of the Amount of the sums paid for Scutage and Aid, &c., by each Tenant.”
The Books appear to have been compiled near the close of the Reign of Edward the Second, or the com-
mencement of that of Edward the Third, partly from Inquests taken on the Presentments of Jurors of Hundreds
before the Justices itinerant, and partly from Inquisitions upon Writs awarded to the Sheriffs for collecting of
Scutages, Aids, &c. s
From what circumstance they have obtained the name of Testa de Nevill is not ascertained ; there are, how-
ever, two persons, to either of whom they may be assignable—viz., Ralph de Nevill, an Accountant in the
Exchequer, and Collector of Aids in the Reign of Henry the Third, whose name occurs in the Book, p. 39 ; and
Jollan de Nevill, a Justice itinerant, of the same Reign, who, as Dugdale in his Baronage, vol. i. p. 288, supposes,
may have been the Author.
The Entries which are specifically entitled Testa de Nevill, are evidently Quotations, and form comparatively
a very small part of the whole : they have, in all probability, been copied from a Roll bearing that name, a part of
which is still extant in the Chapter-House at Westminster, consisting of five small Membranes, containing Ten
Counties. The Roll appears to be of the age of Edward the First, and agrees verbatim with the Entries in these
Books.1

And in such case if it happen in any such heire to be of full age at the tyme of the death of such his

GEoRGE HENRY L.Aw, D.D., F.R.S. THoMAs PARKINSON, D.D. Rev. Hugh Cholmon DELEY, B.D.
Bishop of CHESTER. Chancellor of CHESTER. late Dean of CHESTER.
LANCAsHIRE is in the Diocese of CHESTER, and in the Province of YoFK. The Bishoprick of Chester was one of the
six founded by Henry the Eighth, out of the spoil of Monasteries and Religious Houses after the dissolution of the
same ; for which purpose an Act of Parliament was made, 31 Henry VIII. cap. 9 ; and the King was empowered
by letters patent, and did erect Six new Bishopricks—viz, Bristol, Oxford, Westminster, Gloucester, Peterborough, and
Chester.
Thus was Chester separated from the See of Litchfteld, Coventry, or Chester, as that See was often called. The
See of Chester is very extensive, as it was even then fixed ; and extends over all the Six Hundreds of Lancashire, all
Cheshire, part of Westmorland, part of Cumberland, and Richmond in Yorkshire (often called Richmondshire),
four Parishes in Flintshire, and one Chapelry in Denbighshire ; the Population of which, agreeable to the Returns
of 1811, was

souls in this
Diocese.
The extent from the most Southerly point to the most Northerly point is from 107 to 120 miles ; from the
most Westerly point, St. Bees, to the most Easterly point is from 70 to 90 miles, i.e. to Nunmunkton, near
Aldborough, Yorkshire.
This See is divided into two Archdeaconries, Chester and Richmond, both in the Province of York, 33 Henry
VIII. chap. 31 ; it was so fixed, though originally, by the King's patent, under the See of Canterbury.
The Cathedral Church, formerly a Monastery, was founded by Leofricus, an Officiary Count in this District,
and by him dedicated to St. Wereburge, which was afterwards repaired, beautified, and endowed, and filled with
Monks by Hugh, surnamed Lupus Earl of Chester.
These Monks were ejected by Henry VIII, who brought into their place a Bishop, a Dean, and Prebendaries.
The Bishopric is valued in the King's Books at the sum of £420 : l ; 8.
This See was formerly in the Diocese of the Bishop of Mercia, who had his seat at Litchfeld, anno 656, and
there remained the Seat of the Bishop until about 1075. Soon after the Conquest, when an order was made for
all Bishops to remove to the greatest Cities in their Diocese, Peter, then Bishop, removed his See to Chester, and he
was hence styled Bishop of Chester. But Robert de Limsey, next heir to him, and his successor, leaving Chester,
removed from thence to Coventry, anno 1095; and it was again brought back by Roger Clinton to Litchfield in the
reign of Henry I, having three Seats or Sees, Litchfield, Coventry, and Chester, being one Bishoprick only, commonly
called of Litchfield and Coventry.

1 The worthy Bishop of this Diocese, in December 1815, consecrated one new Church in Preston ; and in the same week two
Within little more than two years his Lordship has consecrated six Chapels
in Liverpool and in the townships surrounding it—viz. the two above-named, one at Edgehill, one at Everton, one at Toxteth Park,
and one other in the parish of Sefton, near Litherland, in 1815.
Chapels in Liverpool—viz. St. Mark's and St. Andrew's.
and Toxteth Park Churches or rather lay Chapels.
* Since consecrated, 1815.
* This Church, it is said, was the first Parish Church built in Lancashire after the Reformation.—Holt's MSS.
There are now three Churches of the Establishment building in
Liverpool—viz. St. Luke's, by the Corporation, one part of which is to be free for the poor; and one by the Parish, to be free also ;
and one other Private Property, with Gothic cast-iron ornaments, roof, window-frames, pulpit, &c., walls brick and stone, like Everton
Liverpool is a mediety; St. Nicholas and St. Peter's are one Parish Church.

EXTRACTS FROM THE
Çayatiſ (3ttlesiastità
Angliae & Wallia, Auctoritate P. Nicholai IV. circa A.D. 1291.
PRINTED, BY COMMAND OF HIS MAJESTY KING GEORGE III. &c. &c. &c.
In pursuance of an Address of the House of Commons, made 11 July 1800, 40 of George III. Printed 1802."
POPE INNOCENT the Twenty-second, to whose predecessors in the See of Rome the First Fruits and Tenths of all
Ecclesiastical Benefices had for a long time been paid, gave the same, A.D. 1253, to King Henry the Third, for three
years, which occasioned a Taxation in the following year, sometimes called the Norwich Taxation, and sometimes
Pope Innocent's Valor.
In the year 1288 Pope Nicholas the Fourth granted the Tenths to King Edward the First for six years, towards
defraying the expense of an expedition to the Holy Land ; and that they might be collected to their full value, a
Taxation by the King's precept was begun in that year (1288), and finished as to the Province of Canterbury in 1291,
and as to that of York in the following year; the whole being under the direction of John Bishop of Winton, and
Oliver Bishop of Lincoln. •
A third Taxation, intituled “Nova Taxatio,” as to some part of the Province of York, was made A.D. 1318
(11 Edward II.), by virtue of a royal mandate directed to the Bishop of Carlisle ; chiefly on account of the Invasion
of the Scots, by which the Clergy of those border countries were rendered unable to pay the former tax.
The Taxation of Pope Nicholas is a most important Record, because all the taxes, as well to our Kings as the
Popes, were regulated by it, until the Survey made in the twenty-sixth year of Henry the Eighth ; and because the
Statutes of Colleges which were founded before the Reformation are also interpreted by this criterion, according to
which their benefices, under a certain value, are exempted from the restriction in the statute 21 Henry VIII. con-
cerning Pluralities.
Various detached parts of this Record have been published in different County Histories; but the whole is
now, for the first time, edited from two Manuscripts in the King's Remembrancer's Office, Exchequer, collated with
a Cottonian Manuscript of much greater antiquity in the British Museum, Tiberius C. X., which has unfortunately
suffered some damage from the fire which happened to the Cottonian Library whilst lodged in the Dormitory at
Westminster. The Original Rolls for several of the Dioceses are still extant in the Exchequer, and have been con-
sulted in this Edition ; the various readings which occur in them have been preserved ; they are, however, but few,
and are of no great consideration ; which circumstances evince the accuracy of the ancient transcripts.
Specimens of the Hand-writing of the Two Exchequer Manuscripts, which appear to have been written in the
Reign of Henry the Sixth, are prefixed to the Original print.
