SALFORD HUNDRED 



BOLTON-LE-MOORS 



Derby, down to about 1600 continued to hold it 6 by 

 the same tenure, and it was described as a manor. 



The priory of Burscough held land in the township 

 by grant of Robert son of Richard de Lathom. 7 The 

 Hospitallers also had lands there. 8 



The Standishes of Duxbury held lands of the Earls 

 of Derby, 9 and in the ijth century and later their 

 estate is called the manor of Anglezarke, they having 

 purchased the Stanley rights. 10 



With other parts of the Standish of Duxbury estates 

 it was in 1898 purchased by Mr. Percival Sumner 

 Mayhew, but has recently been acquired by the Cor- 

 poration of Liverpool in order to protect the Rivington 

 water supply. 11 



Other families that occur are the Anglezarkes, 12 

 Bulloughs, 13 Shaws, 14 Broadhursts, 15 and Willises. 16 



George Shaw of High Bui lough was a benefactor of 

 the poor of the district. 17

 generally; Lostoke, 1301 ; Lostock, Lostocke, xvi cent. 



Lo.tock township stretches over 2 miles from east 

 to west, and has an area of 1,520 acres. 1 It lies be- 

 tween higher lands to the north and south, and through 

 the slight depression flows the Croal eastward. The 

 boundaries appear arbitrary, except for the Red Moss 

 which separates it from Blackrod, and a brook tribu- 

 tary to the Croal which divides it from Heaton. The 

 principal hamlet is Chew Moor,* in the south-east 

 corner ; another is Lostock Hall Fold, near the centre 

 of the northern border, where a suburb of Bolton is 

 growing up. The population was 85 2 in 1901. 



The township was included in the borough and 

 township of Bolton, by the Extension Act of 1898, 

 and thus ceased to exist. 



6 In 1246 Robert de Lathom was 

 among the defendants in a claim for land 

 which the plaintiffs alleged to be in Riv- 

 ington ; the jury decided it was in Angle- 

 zarke ; Assize R. 404, m. 9. In 1302 

 Adam son of William de Sidale claimed a 

 messuage and lands in Sidale in Angle- 

 zarke against Robert de Lathom and 

 others, mostly Lathom people; but Robert 

 adduced a quitclaim by the plaintiff ; As- 

 size R. 418, m. 9 d. 



Robert de Lathom in 1320 held Angle- 

 zarke of the lord of Manchester by 3*. 

 rent and puture ; Mamecestre, ii, 290. 



la 1334 Sir Thomas de Lathom, 

 Thomai de Thornton, Robert del Bul- 

 halgh, and William de Anderton were 

 convicted of having disseised Richard son 

 of Adam de Rivington of common of 

 pasture in Anglezarke ; Coram Rege R. 

 297, m. 94. For grant of free warren see 

 Cal, Pat. 1338-40, p. 396. Thomas de 

 Lathom had in or before 1343 leased 

 * Bronuleshol ' and other lands in Angle- 

 zarke to Hugh de Swinley and Roger his 

 son at a rent of 301. ; John de Swinley 

 was the previous tenant ; Add. MS. 

 32106, no. 1179. Messuages and lands 

 in Anglezarke were included in a settle- 

 ment of the estate of the younger Sir 

 Thomas de Lathom in 1376 ; Final Cone. 

 ii, 190. 



In 1473 Thomas Lord Stanley held 

 the lordship of Anglezarke with its 

 appurtenances of the lord of Manchester 

 by rendering puture, suit of court, and a 

 rent of 3*.; Mamecestrf, iii, 478. Thomas, 

 Earl of Derby, in 1521 also held the 

 manors of Childwall, Rainford, and 

 Anglezarke of the Lord La Warre by 

 fealty and the rent of 3$. ; Duchy of Lane. 

 Inq. p.m. v, no. 68. A similar statement 

 is made in the inquisition after the death 

 of Ferdinando, Earl of Derby, in 1595 ; 

 Add. MS. 32104, fol. 425*. Anglezarke 

 does not appear again among the Derby 

 manors, so that it was probably sold about 

 that time. 



An account of the receipts during the 

 minority of Edward, third earl, in 1523-4, 

 shows that the free tenants James Bul- 

 halgh, Lawrence Ash, and Thomas Broad- 

 hurst paid 15*. id. ; the tenants at will, 

 including John Lascelles for the capital 

 messuage called Sidale, paid 8 2s. %d. ; 

 the mine of lead and the delph of mill- 

 stones had not produced any profit, but a 

 new rent of 2O<?. had arisen from a water- 

 mill on the Blake Brook, erected by the 

 tenant at his own expense, and that tim- 

 ber had been supplied from the lord's 

 wood. No courts had been held. The 





y. rent had been paid to Lord La 

 Warre. Broadcarr, Lee, Lowfield, Elms- 

 haws, and Getelinghurst were field 

 names ; Derby Rent Roll in possession of 

 the Earl of Lathom. 



7 Dep. Keeper's Rep. xxxvi, App. 204; 

 also Burscough Reg. fol. 50. The grant 

 was made between 1232 and 1240. The 

 land was called Swinleyhurst, on the 

 northern border. Prior Benedict and the 

 canons afterwards granted Swinleyhurst to 

 Randle de Heapy and his heirs at a rent of 

 31. ; Randle had held under the Lathoms. 

 The bounds went along the Shaw of Lede- 

 warden, the cliff, the deepest part of the 

 carr, Swinley Syke to the west part in 

 Whithenley Brook, Ledewarden Brook as 

 it divides Anglezarke and Wheelton, and 

 so to the starting point. The easements 

 included mast in the wood of Anglezarke, 

 fuel, and timber for building ; ibid. fol. 27. 



In 1278 Peter de Heapy was nonsuited 

 in his claim for common of pasture in 

 Anglezarke against Robert de Lathom ;

 Sir Thomas de Lathom, who died in 



1370, held tenements in Anglezarke of 

 the Hospital of Jerusalem, paying i2d. a 

 year ; they were worth 6 ; Duchy of 

 Lane. Inq. p.m. ii, no. 7, and another ver- 

 sion in Lanes. Inq. p.m. (Chet. Soc.), i, 17. 

 The land in Anglezarke was perhaps 

 held about 1540 by Lord Mounteagle, 

 who held the Hospitallers' land in Black- 

 rod. Roger Asshaw, who died in the 

 year named, held two messuages, &c., in 

 Anglezarke of Sir Thomas Stanley, Lord 

 Mounteagle, by a rent of ioJ. ; Duchy of 

 Lane. Inq. p.m. viii, no. ii.

 died in 1599; the lands were held in 

 socage by fealty only ; Duchy of Lane. 

 Inq. p.m. xvii, no. 54. This estate was 

 probably that of Burscough Priory, derived 

 from the Heapy family. Some disputes 

 between the Standishes and Tootells are 

 referred to in Ducatus Lane. (Rec. Com.),

10 Lanes. Inq. p.m. (Rec. Soc. Lanes, and 

 Ches.), iii, 397, 400 ; Alexander Standish 

 held the reversion of the manor after the 

 death of Alice, Countess of Derby. She 

 was widow of Ferdinando, the fifth earl, 

 and died in 1636. The manor of Angle- 

 zarke is regularly named in the Standish 

 of Duxbury settlements ; e.g. Pal. of 

 Lane. Feet of F. bdle. 104, no. 10 ; 155, 

 m. 165, &c. In 1706 the manorwasthe 

 subject of an agreement between Sir 

 Thomas Standish and Sir Thomas Stan- 

 ley and his wife Margaret, mother of the 



295 



former Sir Thomas ; ibid. bdle. 257, m. 

 6 1 ; in addition to the manor there were 

 twelve messuages, two water grain mills, 

 and lands including 1,400 acres of furze 

 and heath, Sec.
