AMOUNDERNESS HUNDRED 



and one moiety or share was obtained by Lea and 

 the other by Haydock." The Lea portion descended 

 like that manor to the Hoghtons, 44 and ceased to 

 ha?e any distinct history. Of the Haydock portion 

 a part was given to a younger son, ancestor of the 

 Haydocks of Cottam, and the remainder came to 

 Alice and Aline, daughters and co-heirs of John 

 de Haydock, and thus was divided between the 



PRESTON 



families of Travers of Nateby and Lawrence of 

 Ribbleton. 46 The Travers manor was in 1615 sold 

 to Hugh Rigby. 47 The history of the Lawrence 

 share is unknown. 48 The Waltons of Preston also 

 seem to have had part of the manor. 49 TVLKETH 

 in Ashton, where the monks of Savigny resided before 

 they settled in Furness, 60 became a seat of the Traven 

 family till the I yth century. 41 Afterwards it passed 



(lloghton) and Aries hii wife ; Dodi. 

 MS. cxlii, fol. 30*. It appear! that Avice 

 wai the widow of Roger dc Athlon ; De 

 Banco R. 316, m. 466. 



44 The Hoghton charter! have been 

 given in the preceding note. The pro- 

 portiont held by the different lords teem 

 to have varied. In 1324 Richard de 

 Hoghton held > moiety of Ashton by the 

 service of 51., while Lawrence Travers 

 and William Lawrence (in right of their 

 wivet) held the other moiety by $>. alto ; 

 Dodt. MSS. ouui, fol. 39*. 



In 1346, however, tome readjustment 

 had taken place, and while Sir Adam de 

 Hoghton held a moiety of the manor (by 

 the twelfth part of a knight't fee) he paid 

 only 31. 9</. ; Edmund de Haydock, 

 Thomat Travers and William Lawrence 

 held a plough-land in tocage by rents of 

 21. 6<, 31. 4,/. and 5</. respectively ; 

 Surv. of 1346 (Chet. Soc.), 46-8. Thut 

 the 101. rent wai contributed by four 

 partners, three of whom held the ' plough- 

 land' in tocage while the other held a 

 ' moiety of the manor ' by knight's ser- 

 vice. At the same time Lea was stated 

 to be two plough-lands inttead of one. 

 Cottam teems to have been regarded at 

 held of the lords of Ashton, so that Hay- 

 dock contributed it. jd. for the Hoghton 

 moiety and it. jd. for that held of 

 Lawrence and Travers. In 1354 William 

 Lawrence held a fourth part of the 

 manor ; Final Cone, ii, 141. 



In 13^6 Sir Adamde Hoghton claimed 

 his part of the manor, alleging that John 

 ton of Thomat Travert of Tulketh, Alice 

 widow of William Lawrence and Thomat 

 ton of Geoffrey de Hackinsall had occupied 

 pant of it ; Assize R. 441, m. +d. 



The extent made in 1445-6 ihows a 

 distribution of the lordship like that of 

 1 346 ; Duchy of Lane. Knights' Feet, 

 bdle. 2, no. 20. Roger Travert of Nateby 

 had the fourth part of the manor in 1403 ; 

 Kuerden MSS. iv, G it. 



In 1301 various agreements were 

 made by the partners in the vill. Robert 

 de Haydock released to William de Lea, 

 Henry hit son and Richard de Ashton all 

 right to their homage and services ; Add. 

 MS. 32106, no. 474. William de Lea 

 conceded a moiety of the manor to 

 Robert de Haydock, viz. that moiety 

 which Richard son of Roger de Ashton 

 had given to Henry son of William de 

 Lea ; ibid. no. $09. A partition of the 

 manor-house seems to have accompanied 

 these agreements ; the chamber to the 

 east was given to Richard de Ashton, the 

 whole of the hall to Robert de Haydock 

 and the chamber to the west to William 

 de Lea ; ibid. no. 507. Robert de Hay- 

 dock was probably acting as trustee for 

 his nieces. 



In 1324 an agreement was made be- 

 tween Sir Richard de Hoghton, William 

 Lawrence and Alice his wife on one side 

 and Lawrence Travert and Aline hit wife 

 on the other ; ibid. no. 759. Another 

 agreement wai made in 1330 between 

 Sir Richard de Hoghton on the one side 

 and Lawrence Travers and William Law- 



rence on the other as to the partition of 

 certain meadows previously held by Avice 

 de Howick ; Dods. MSS. cxlii, fol. 30. 



4 * The Hoghton family continued to 

 acquire fresh portions of Athlon. In 

 1329 William ton of Richard del Greaves 

 released all title in his father's lands to 

 Sir Richard de Hoghton ; Add. MS. 

 32106, no. 450. Robert the Graveson 

 of Ashton in 1 348 transferred his lands 

 (formerly Ralph the Tailor's) to Sir Adam 

 de Hoghton ; ibid. no. 479. Four years 

 later Cecily widow of Thomas de Hani- 

 bleton and Thomas son of Henry son of 

 John de Sidgreaves sold to Sir Adam lands 

 which had belonged to Cecily's father ; 

 ibid. no. 4801. She was daughter of 

 Henry del Greaves, and -her land lay in 

 Daw ft eld in the hamlet of Greavet in the 

 vill of Athton ; ibid. no. 484, 6 1. 



John ton of Gilbert son of Adam de 

 Ashton in 1 3 70 released to Sir Adam de 

 Hoghton all claim on the inheritance of 

 Roger de Ashton ; ibid. no. 477. 



Sir Richard Hoghton in 1422 held a 

 moiety of the manor of Ashton by the 

 twelfth part of a knight't fee and 31. 9</. 

 rent ; Lanci. Inj. p.m. (Chet. Soc.), i, 

 145. In 1580 Thomat Hoghton's tene- 

 ment in Ashton next Preston and Greavet 

 was said to be held of the queen as of her 

 Duchy of Lancaster by the third part of a 

 fourth part of a knight's fee ; Duchy of 

 Lane. Inq. p.m. xiv, no. 26. 



The remainder of the manor of Ashton 

 seems to have been acquired by 159;, 

 when * the manor ' is named among the 

 Hoghton estates ; Pal. of Lane. Feet of 

 F. bdle. 5 7, m. 1 78. Sir Richard Hoghton 

 died in 1630 holding the manors of Lea 

 and Ashton of the king, by the third 

 part of a knight's fee ; Duchy of Lane. 

 Inq. p.m. xxvii, no. 13. The manors of 

 Lea and Ashton appear together in later 

 Hoghton settlements, e.g. Pal. of Lane. 

 Plea R. 554, m. 12. 



46 The origin of the Haydock interest 

 it not known. In 128; Joan widow of 

 John son of Henry de Haydock claimed 

 dower in various lands againtt Henry de 

 Haydock in Stainall and againtt Henry 

 ton of Henry de Haydock in Cottam, 

 Ingol and Athton ; De Banco R. 59, 

 m. 3 ; 64, m. 122. In 1292 inquiry wat 

 made at to whether Robert and Henry 

 sons of Henry de Haydock had disseised 

 Paulin de Preston of land, aldergrove and 

 marsh in Ashton, but plaintiff was non- 

 suited ; Assize R. 408, m. 49 d. 



It thus appears that Henry de Haydock 

 the father had part of Ashton, and that 

 he had three sons, John, Robert and 

 Henry, of whom John died before him. 

 Henry wat dead in 1 290, when his widow 

 Alice claimed dower in Ribbleton, 'Stainall, 

 Haydock (against Hugh son of Richard 

 de Haydock) and Ravensmeols ; De 

 Banco R. 86, m. 174. 



In 1338 Adam ton of Richard de 

 Hoghton claimed a third part of the 

 manor of Ashton as heir of Henry son of 

 William de Lea. The holders were 

 William Lawrence, Alice his wife, Law- 

 rence Travert and Aline hit wife, Alice 



133 



and Aline being daughteri of John 

 brother of Robert de Haydock, whose 

 right, it was alleged, wat derived from a 

 grant by William de Lea ; De Banco 

 R. 316, m. 466; 333, m. 374d. 



Two years later Alan de Marhalgh, in 

 right of his wife Isabel, claimed a fourth 

 part of the manor of Ashton against 

 Lawrence and Travert; ibid. 321, m. 

 I99d. The tuit wat continued in 1345, 

 Itabel being described at daughter of 

 Adam ton of Roger de Ashton ; ibid. 

 342, m. 250 \ 345, m. 21 j 350, m. 

 20. An agreement of 1339 represents 

 Sir Richard and Sir Adam de Hoghton 

 as recovering three parts of the manor 

 from Alan de Marhalgh and Itabel hit 

 wife, while claims were put in by Law- 

 rence, Travers and Haydock ; Final Cone. 

 ii, 112. 



47 William Travers' messuages, tec., in 

 Ashton were in 1524 held of the king at 

 of his Duchy of Lancaster in socage by a 

 rent of 31. 8</. yearly ; Duchy of Lane. 

 Inq. p.m. v, no. 62. In 1559 the service 

 was said to be 8</. only; ibid, xi, no. 68. 



In 1625 the manor of Ashton, with 

 lands in Ashton, Ingol, Clayton and Ley- 

 land, and a free fishery in the Ribble, were 

 sold to Hugh Rigby by William Travers, 

 Richard Travers and William Werden ; 

 Pal. of Lane. Feet of F. bdle. 107, no. 32. 



48 The fourth part of the manor of 

 Ashton was held by William Lawrence in 

 1354 ; Drf. Ketptr'i Rip. vail, Af p. 331. 

 At thown above, it appear! again in 

 1445-6 ; but Robert Lawrence of Ribble- 

 ton, who died in 1524, had no lands in 

 Ashton. 



49 Mabel daughter of Adam de Ashton 

 gave her sister Avice a messuage, Sec., in 

 Ashton in 1351. In 1404 a third part 

 of the manor was claimed by John de 

 Walton and Agnes his wife (for her life) 

 against Henry de Preston, Maud his 

 wife, Robert Paslew and Alice his wife. 

 Later the Waltons are found holding in 

 Ashton ; Kuerden MSS. ii, fol. 224-7. 

 Richard Walton held lands in Ashton of 

 Queen Elizabeth ; the tenure of his suc- 

 cessors it not recorded ; Duchy of Lane. 

 Inq. p.m. siii, no. 26, Ice. 



Henry Walton was vouchee of the 

 manor of Ashton in 1721 ; Pal. of Lane.

w Stephen Count of Boulogne, after- 

 wards king, in 1 123 gave Tulketh to the 

 Abbot of Savigny to found an abbey of his 

 order there ; Simeon of Dur. Optra (Rolls 

 Ser.), ii, 267. The monks resigned it in 

 1127 on going to Furness. 



11 It became the manor-house of the 

 Travers family for their part of the manor 

 of Ashton ; Duchy of Lane. Inq. p.m.

Thomas Preston in 1577 demised the 

 capital messuage called Tulketh in Ash- 

 ton, lately in the tenure of Richard 

 Travers, deceased ; Kuerden MSS. ii, fol. 

 139*. 



It is stated thai Tulketh was subse- 

 quently held by Werden, Riwstorne, 

 Hesketh (1687 to 1836), Bray, Johnson, 

 and Thompson (1876) ; Fishwick, Praia*,
