APPENDIX B. 



" Sir William Banastre held one carucate of land in DoUeworth by homage and the 

 Eent of ija at Midsummer."— Inquis. 1311, Cheeth. Soc, Vol. 74. 



" Gilbert de Sotheworth, in right of his wife, and Robert de Holande, hold a fourth 

 part of one carve of land in Alston, in Socage, paying yearly at the four terms three 

 shillings, and relief, etc. 



' ' Thomas de Lathum holds a fourth part of the said carve, in Socage, paying yearly 

 twelve pence, at the said terms, &c. "—Survey, 1320-46. 



By an oversight which I greatly regret, I have omitted to mention in Chapter II 

 that, the Rev. Timothy Smith, Curate of Longridge, was formerly Incumbent of 

 Rainforth Chapel, near Prescott. In the Inquisition taken at Wigan, 1 June, 1650, 

 there is the foUo%ving reference to Timothy Smith:— "Mr. Timothy Smith doth now 

 oflaciate as Ministr there, and is the present Incumbent there, and is an orthodox 

 godly preaching Ministr, and came into the said place by the consent of the ChapeUrie 

 and formerly received for his sallary The sume of fforty pounds p. Ann, Allowed to 

 the said Chappell out of the sequestrations."
