after whose death the whole 40;. would be due to 

 the king ; the land was to be quit of tallage thence- 

 forward." The manor of Hackinsall became the 

 chief residence of the lords of Hambleton, so 



that they took their surname from 



and 



course of time their lordship in Hambleton was 

 ignored." 



The above-named Geoffrey in 1244-5 granted 

 all Hambleton to his nephew Robert de Shireburne, 

 the rent of 40*. being payable to the king." Then 

 in 1 2 5 5-6 Robert de Shireburne gave 2 oxgangs of 

 land in Hambleton to his son John, with remainder 

 to William, Robert's eldest son." John, who was a 

 clerk, also had an oxgang from his brother William,"

and eventually succeeded to the whole." John'i son 

 Robert acquired by marriage part of the manor of 

 Aighton near Ribchester, and his descendants were 

 long seated there as the Shireburnes of Stonyhunt." 

 Hambleton descended in the same way " until 1867," 

 when the land was sold in parcels," and no manor 

 seems to have been recognized afterwards. 



In 1548 an agreement was made by Sir Richard 

 Shireburne as lord of Hambleton with Nicholas 

 Butler as lord of Over Rawcliffc concerning the 

 bounds of their manors." 



At one time a family surnamed Hambleton had 

 part of the land " ; the Botelers of Rawcliffe " and 

 Singletons of Little Singleton " and their successors 



for the profit of the touts of King John 

 hit father and others, confirmed the grant 

 to William de Colmore for the period of 

 hit life ; Cat. Pal. 1225-32, p. III.

 Roger's favour ; Auize R. 408, m. 34 d.
