A HISTORY OF LANCASHIRE 



excepting the Greengore. 302 John son of Thomas de 

 Greengore in 1364 released land in Claughton to 

 Ralph de Holden ; while in 1388 Adam de Green- 

 gore, brother and heir of John, confirmed to John 

 son of John son of Ralph de Holden the land called 

 Greengore in Bailey. 303 



The freeholders recorded in 1600, in addition to 

 Shireburne, Winkley and Holden, were Richard 

 Goodshaw, Thomas Loud, Robert Read and John 

 Tomlinson of Aighton ; also Richard Aighton of 

 Chaigley. 304 Some of these have already been 

 named. 



In 1568 there was a dispute as to Hill House in 

 Chaigley between John Loud and Joan his wife on 

 the one part and William Loud, &c., on the other. 305 

 Sir Richard Shireburne in 1 546 purchased a messuage 

 and land in Aighton from James Loud and Isabel his 

 wife. 306 Thomas Loud in 1632 compounded for his 

 recusancy by an annual payment of j2. 307 William 

 son and heir of James Loud held land in 169 1. 308 



Thomas Johnson alias Tomlinson held land in 

 Bailey in 1546, with remainder to Richard Tomlin- 

 son. 309 John Tomlinson died in 1624 holding land 

 in Chaigley, with common of pasture in Bailey, of 

 Richard Shireburne as of his manor of Aighton ; 

 Thurstan his son and heir was fifty years of age. 310 

 John Tomlinson, apparently another son, died in 

 1633 holding land in Chaigley and Clitheroe of the 

 king ; his brother Thurstan was heir. 311 



Richard ' Haghton ' and Alice his wife procured 

 a messuage called Armetridding, &c., in Chaigley 

 from Sir Richard Shireburne and Maud his wife in 

 1546, apparently in exchange for a tenement in 

 Aighton. 312 A settlement of four messuages, dovecote, 

 lands, &c., was in I 548 made by Richard and Alice 

 Haghton, the remainders being to sons John and 

 Roger, and to heirs male of John father of Richard 

 Haghton. 313 



Hugh de Hacking in 1311 acquired a messuage 

 and land in Aighton from Thomas de Broadhurst and 

 Agnes his wife. 314 This was probably the estate of 

 Henry de Shuttleworth and Agnes his wife in 1 366. 315 

 Broadhurst and other lands in Aighton were in 1644 

 held by Nicholas Grimshaw of Clayton. 316 



Thomas Bradley of Thornley in 1564 held mes- 

 suages, &c., in Chaigley partly of the queen and 

 partly of someone unknown. 317 Roger brother of 

 Richard Bradley of Bailey (deceased) in 1653 peti- 

 tioned for the restoration of a moiety of the estate, 

 which had been sequestered for the recusancy of 



Elizabeth, Richard's widow ; she was then dead. 

 Roger himself was ' conformable ' to the Parliament, 

 ' ever a dutiful and constant good Churchman,' and 

 had two sons in the army. 318 



Mary Dewhurst alias Osbaldeston died in 1638 

 holding a messuage, &c., in Bailey of the king as of 

 the honor of Clitheroe ; Robert her son and heir was 

 thirty years of age. 319 Robert Dewhurst as a ' de- 

 linquent ' had his lands sequestered by the Parlia- 

 ment, and in 1654 his son James petitioned for 

 restoration. 320 



A few particulars about non-resident holders are 

 found in the inquisitions. 321 



A considerable number of landowners contributed 

 to the subsidy of 1524, the principal being Hugh 

 Shireburne. The others were : Robert Ash, the 

 wife of Thomas Clitheroe, Thomas Gooday, John 

 Halghton, Ralph Holden, Thomas Lenox, Robert 

 Waddington and Roger Winckley. 322 The names 

 in the 1543 subsidy list are: Richard Shireburne, 

 Robert Shireburne, Robert Waddington, Ralph 

 Holden, John Gooday, the widow of John Halghton, 

 Anthony Winckley, John Hayhurst and Thomas 

 Johnson. 323 In 1597 the following contributed for 

 their lands : Richard Shireburne (self and wife), 

 Richard Holden, John Shireburne (for wife), Richard 

 Haughton, John Tomlinson, Bartholomew Gooday, 

 Robert Read, Thomas Lowde, Henry Heyhurst. 324 

 In 1626 Richard Shireburne, Roger Winckley, 

 Richard Haighton, Thurstan Tomlinson, Richard 

 Holden, Richard Crombleholme (for wife), Bartho- 

 lomew Gooday, Richard Read, John Whitaker 

 and Henry Hayhurst ; the wife of Richard Shire- 

 burne and a large number of others paid as non- 

 communicants. 325 



In the Commonwealth time Anne Watson, a re- 

 cusant, had had her estates sequestered, but was 

 dead in i654. 326 The hearth tax return of 1666 

 shows that at Aighton there were eighty-two hearths 

 liable, of which Stonyhurst had twenty-three, the 

 house of Anne Winckley widow had five, that of 

 James Loud five, and four houses had three. At 

 Bailey there were thirty-eight hearths, Mrs. Elizabeth 

 Rishton's house having five. At Chaigley there were 

 forty-two hearths, but only two dwellings had as many 

 as three. 327 In addition to Sir Nicholas Shireburne 

 a number of 'Papists' registered estates in 1717. 328 

 The land t.ix return of 1787 shows that Thomas 

 Weld held nearly all the land ; the Earl of Derby 

 had a part of Chaigley. 329
