Ingol, Ashton and Cottam was said to be held by a 

 rent of 2/. 68 A pedigree was recorded in 16 1 3," and 

 William Haydock died on 4 

 August 1624 seised of the 

 manor of Cottam, a water- 

 mill, three messuages, lands, 

 &c., in Cottam, Ingol, 

 Ashton, French Lea and 

 Freckleton, held of the king 

 as of his duchy, and in Wood- 

 plumpton, held of Sir Robert 

 Banastre. 70 



The interest of the family 

 is mainly religious. William 

 Haydock, said to be a brother 

 of the Gilbert of 1529-42, 



was a monk of Whalley, and executed there on 

 12 March 1536-7 for complicity in the Pilgrimage 

 of Grace. 71 Ewan Haydock, left a widower in 

 1557, was strengthened in his constancy to Roman 

 Catholicism by the company of William (afterwards 

 Cardinal) Allen, a relative by marriage, and in 1573 

 went over to Douay with one or two of his sons,

and in 1575 was ordained priest and sent on the 

 English mission, dying at Mowbreck in I58i. 7> His 

 son George, educated at Douay and the English 

 College, Rome, was ordained priest, and in 1582 

 returned to England. He was almost immediately 

 betrayed to the government, and after two yean* 

 imprisonment was executed as a traitor at Tyburn, 

 12 February 1583-4." Richard Haydock, an elder 

 brother of George, was ordained priest at Douay in 

 1577. In 1582 it was reported that he was with 

 his brother at Cottam Hall or else at Mowbreck. 

 After ten years of missionary labour, during which he 

 is said to have been imprisoned, he returned to Rome, 

 and had the titular dignity of Dean of Dublin. He 

 died at Rome in 16OJ. 74 William Haydock, the 

 eldest brother, was punished for his recusancy in 

 various ways. 75 The family appear to have escaped 

 molestation during the Commonwealth period, 76 but 

 William Haydock of Cottam is traditionally said to 

 have taken part in the Jacobite rising of 1715 ; he 

 died soon afterwards. 77 The manor of Cottam, how- 

 ever, passed to a relative, and eventually became the 

 property of the Crosses of Red Scar in Grimsargh. 78 



In 1422 Mirtin V granted a dispensa- 

 tion for the marriage of Gilbert Haydock 

 with Iiabel daughter of William Hoghton,

There were several Cuthberts, as appears 

 by the Prtiton Guild R. The father of the 

 new owner of Cottam seems to have been 

 a son of Henry, one of the younger sons 

 of Gilbert Haydock (i $29-42) ; informa- 

 tion of Mr. J. Gillow.

 reason, was allowed to continue suspended 

 on the gibbet entire, and ultimately was 

 secured and secretly removed by his nephew 

 and namesake to Cottam Hail. In Lanca- 

 shire he was generally looked upon as a 

 martyr, and his remains were treated with 

 the greatest veneration by the Haydock 

 family.' 



" Ibid, iii, 202-4. The governimnt 

 had tried to arrest him, but he had 

 managed to keep free. There is a refer- 

 ence to him as a fugitive beyond the seas 

 without licence in Lanes, and Chts. Rec. 

 (Rec. Soc. Lanes, and Ches.), ii, 342. 



71 Gillow, op. cit, iii, 205-1 1. He was 

 executed for being ordained priest beyond 

 the seas and for conspiring to eSect the 

 queen's death. There was no evidence of 

 the latter part of the charge, of which 

 Haydock asserted his innocence. The 

 judge who condemned him was Sir William 

 Fleetwood, the Recorder of London.

78 Ibid, j it is stated that the last William 

 Haydock, whose brothers were priests, had 

 settled the manor on his sifter Dorothy, 

 who married George son of John Shuttle- 

 worth of Hodsock Park, Notts. George 

 Haydock, cousin of William, in 1730 

 conveyed his interest in the manor to 

 George Farington of Worden, in trust 

 for Henry son of Valentine Farington of 

 Preston. The Faringtons sold the manor,

 1 8th century. There is a reference to 

 William Haydock in Lanes, and Ckes.
