Christopher Wilkinson 24 ; six years later it was sold 

 to William Patten and Thomas Naylor 25 : these 

 were probably trustees of Thomas Patten of Preston, 

 from whom this manor of Chipping has descended 

 through the Stanleys of Bickerstaffe to the Earl of 

 Derby. 26 No courts are held. 



The estate of the Hospitallers in Chippingdale goes 

 back to early times, and is named in 1 29 2. 27 After the 

 Suppression the manors of Haworth and Chipping were 

 sold by the Crown to George Whitmore of London, 28

who transferred them to Richard Shireburne of Stony- 

 hurst 29 ; this is perhaps the origin of the manor 

 claimed by the family. A court was held by Richard 

 Shireburne in i69O, 30 and as late as 1825 the manor 

 of Chipping was said to be held by Thomas Weld. 31 

 Sawley Abbey had land in Chipping. 32 

 Of the minor families but little can be stated. 

 The earlier surnames include Chipping and Chip- 

 pindale, 33 Greenhills 34 some of whose estate seems 

 to have passed to Wawne 35 and other parts to 



About the same time John Shireburne 

 claimed allowance of his title to the 

 manor of Chipping, of which Parker was 

 in possession by conveyance from the said 

 John in 1641. Parker had granted him 

 a rent-charge of 10 a year for life and 

 covenanted to provide him in meat, drink, 

 apparel and lodging and keeping for a 

 horse. Robert Shireburne, the son of 

 John, in 1653 begged allowance of his 

 title to Chipping Manor, Wolfhall, the 

 Knotts, &c., conveyed to him by his 

 father, William Parker having unjustly 

 intruded thereon. This claim was ad- 

 mitted and the sequestration discharged 

 as from 24 Dec. 1649 ; ibid, iii, 2300. 



John Shireburne of Staffordshire, pro- 

 bably the John who sold to his uncle of 

 the same name, complained that his 

 estate had been sequestered as to two- 

 thirds on the supposition that he was a 

 recusant ; but he ' has been and is con- 

 formable and was never convicted ' ; ibid. 

 2301.

 Shireburne, dated 1668, bequeathing the

 forciants were Christopher Wilkinson,
