A HISTORY OF LANCASHIRE 



through many hands, and the hall is now part of a 

 boys' industrial school, managed by the Brothers of 

 Charity. 62 Cockersand Abbey had land in Tulketh. 53 

 The Hospitallers had some in Ashton. 54 



Of INGOL there is little to be said. 55 Land was 

 given to the endowment of St. Mary Magdalene's 

 Hospital by Walter son of Gamel de Ingol about 

 I2OO. 56 Richard de Lea gave to Edmund Earl of 

 Lancaster lands in Ingol in Christ's Croft, White- 

 field, &c., 57 and William son of William de Ingol 

 gave the earl land in Oldfield. 58 In 1567 it was 

 alleged that the queen was seised of the manor, to 

 which appertained a pasture or moss ground in which 

 all her inhabitants, tenants and farmers in Ingol, had 

 common of pasture and turbary. 89 Fulshaw Moor 

 was in Ashton and Ingol. 60 



COTT4M, assessed as 2 oxgangs of land, may be 

 identified with a grant of the land by Fulesyke 61 made 

 by Arthur de Ashton to Richard son of Uctred ; 

 for this Richard afterwards gave it to Roger his son 

 under the name Cottam, 62 while Roger son of Richard 

 son of Uctred de Singleton granted an oxgang of land 

 in Cottam to Richard son of Robert son of Uctred. 63 

 This last grant seems to have been made in I2O4. 64 

 Towards the end of the same century Henry de 

 Haydock was in possession, 65 and gave it to a younger 

 son Henry, 66 whose descendants continued to hold it 

 till the early part of the 1 8th century. The early 

 history of the family is obscure. 67 Cottam in the 

 earlier surveys is stated to be held of the Earl of 

 Lancaster by the service of is. 6d. yearly, but at the 

 death of Eleanor Haydock in 1525 the estate in 



266. It appears that in 17^0 there was 

 a sale or mortgage of Tulketh Hall by 

 Stanley Werden of Tulketh Hall and 

 Ashton Werden of Accrington, clerk, his 

 son and heir ; Piccope MSS. (Chet. Lib.), 

 iii, 360, from R. 23 of Geo. II at Preston. 



52 Roger son of William son of Master 

 William de Preston in 1324-5 claimed 

 3 acres in Tulketh against John son of 

 Ellis de Entwisle ; De Banco R. 256, 

 m. 9 d. 



'"' Adam de Lea gave the canons 8 acres 

 in 'the vill of Tulcheth,' adjoining the 

 Preston boundary, with all liberties, &c., 

 of the vill appurtenant ; Cockersand 

 Char tul. i, 21$. 



Alice daughter of William son of 

 Arthur [de Ashton] in her widowhood 

 gave land in Tulketh, with a moiety of 

 her wood in Ashton ; ibid. From the 

 bounds recited it appears that Tulketh 

 touched the Ribble ; other points named 

 are the six Ashheys, the Foxholegreave 

 and Clakerkelde. 



54 Robert son of Bernard's gifts to the 

 hospital included an oxgang in Ashton ; 

 Kuerden MSS. v, fol. 82. 



55 The extent of 1346 merely says that 

 divers tenants had lands there, paying 

 2 id. ; Adam de Preston held 30 acres for 

 life at a rent of 40*.; Add. MS. 32103, 

 fol. 148*. 



In 1246 Avice de Ingol and her hus- 

 band Baldwin de Preston held certain 

 lands during the minority of John son of 

 William de Yealand, and Gilbert de 

 Ingol was sued by John de la Lea; Assize 

 R. 404, m. 4d., 5, 10. 



Aldred de Ingol gave Adam de Hoghton 

 his part of Sperlet within the bounds of 

 Ingol ; Add. MS. 32106, no. 387. Henry 

 Mason purchased a messuage from Thomas 

 Hoghton and Anne his wife in 1588 ;

 Robert France of Fulwood in 1632 held 

 land in Ingol as of the manor of Lea of Sir 

 Gilbert Hoghton ; Duchy of Lane. Inq.

Leyland of Morleys held land in Ingol 

 as part of the Broughton estate ; ibid, xi, 

 no. 20. 



56 Farrer, Lanes. Pipe R. 334. The 

 land seems to have been within Ingol, 

 but one plat touched the old Kirkgate (of 

 Preston). The seal of the charter bore 

 the legend ' SIGILLV. WALTERI. DE. INGOOL.'

A claim by Edward Tyldesley to land 

 called Wilcock Acre was investigated in 

 1579. Charters by Maud widow of 

 Thomas de Hutton, Geoffrey de Cottam 

 to John his son, and John Cottam (1464) 

 to William Leyland were produced ;

 Elizabeth (Lanes, and Ches. Rec. [Rec.

 in Ingol, Fulshaw Moor and Cottam 

 Moss was granted out by the Crown ;

61 Two oxgangs of land in Ashton, viz. 

 the land by Fulesyke, and a fourth part 

 of the service of Ingol ; Add. MS. 

 32106, no. 383. A rent of 6d. was to 

 be paid. 



62 Two oxgangs of land in Ashton, viz. 

 Cottam and the land by Fulesyke, and a 

 fourth part of the service of Ingol, as 

 before, for which a pair of gloves was to 

 be rendered ; Kuerden MSS. iv, C 25. 



63 Dods. MSS. cxlix, fol. 50*. The 

 rent was to be half a pound of cummin. 



6 * William de Vernon, 'then sheriff,' 

 attested it ; P.R.O. List, 72. 



The same Roger son of Richard de 

 Singleton enfeoffed Herbert the White, 

 who had married Avice daughter of Henry 

 de Lea, of the fourth part of an oxgang of 

 land in Cottam (being the eighth part of 

 the vill of Cottam which Roger held in 

 demesne), and an eighth part of an 

 oxgang in the same place, at a rent of 

 31. ; Kuerden, loc. cit. A mill on the 

 Savock and a fishery in the Ribble are 

 named. 



Alice widow of Alan de Singleton in 

 1246 sued Robert the Tailor for dower in 

 half an oxgang of land in Cottam, while 

 Robert claimed turbary against John de 

 I ^a and others ; Assize R. 404, m. 14 d., 

 14. 



" J The estate may have been acquired 

 by purchase. Michael son of Herbert 

 (perhaps the Herbert named above) re- 

 leased his lands in Cottam to Henry de 

 Haydock ; Geoffrey son of Richard de 

 Cottam, Robert son of Robert the Cor- 

 viser and Alice daughter of John de 

 Dewsbury granted lands to the same 

 Henry ; while Adam son of Alan the 

 Miller granted land to Henry son of 

 Henry de Haydock. See Kuerden, loc. 

 cit 



66 Ibid. ; the date may be about 1270. 

 For the land in Cottam the younger Henry 

 was to render 21. 6d., for that in Ingol 

 is. 6d. and \d. for the light of St. Cuthbert 

 of Clifton (sic), for that in Ashton jd. 



In 1284 Henry son of Henry de Hay- 

 dock recovered against his father a mes- 

 suage and i oxgang of land in Cottam, 

 14 acres in Ashton and a messuage and 

 30 acres in Ingol; Assize R. 1265, m. 

 4 d. In 1292 Alice and Aline daughters 

 of John (elder) son of Henry de Haydock 

 claimed messuages and land in Cottam 

 against Henry son of Henry de Haydock 

 and others. The plaintiffs were under age. 

 The jury found that Henry the father 

 enfeoffed Henry the son of the tenement 

 in dispute and put him in full seisin. 

 Afterwards his father disseised him, but 

 he recovered the tenements by assize of 

 novel disseisin (viz. the suit above referred 

 to) and demised them to his father for a 

 term of five years ; the father, five year* 

 before his death, rendered them to Henry 

 his son. There was therefore a verdict 

 for Henry ; Assize R. 408, m. 20 d. 



Henry son of Henry de Haydock in 

 1295 granted land in Ashton to Richard 

 son of Roger de Ashton ; Kuerden MSS. 

 iv, A 6. 



An inquiry into the character of Richard 

 de Cottam, clerk, who had been arrested 

 for the death of William le Paumere, was 

 made in 1293. He proved his innocence 

 and was reported to be ' of honest and 

 good conversation ' ; Lanes. Inq. and Ex- 

 tents, i, 280. 



67 In 1308-9 William son of Gilbert 

 de Ashton claimed a tenement in Cottam 

 against Ellen widow of Henry de Hay- 

 dock ; Assize R. 423, m. 2 d. Edmund 

 de Haydock succeeded, but his parentage 

 does not appear ; he occurs as attesting 

 deeds, &c., from 1317 to 1352. He 

 secured recognition as a partner in the 

 manor of Ashton, as appears by the extent 

 of 1 346 (note 44 above). Robert son of 

 Robert de Cottam granted a toft to Robert 

 his son, who married Edith daughter of 

 Gilbert de Ashton ; and in 1317-18 Edusa 

 widow of Robert son of Robert the 

 Corviser released to Edmund de Haydock 

 all right in certain land ; Kuerden MSS. 

 iv, C25. In 1348 Edmund obtained a 

 licence for his oratory in the manor of 

 Cottam from the Archdeacon of Rich- 

 mond ; ibid. 



Richard de Haydock attested a charter 

 in 1359 ; Add. MS. 32106, no. 461. 



Sir Richard de Hoghton in 1388 ac- 

 quired land in English Lea from John de 

 Haydock of Cottam and Margaret his 

 wife ; Final Cone, iii, 32. John de Hay- 

 dock was a burgess at the guilds of 1397 

 and 1415 ; Preston Guild R. (Rec. Soc. 

 Lanes, and Ches.), 5, 8. Edmund son of 

 John de Haydock also appeared in 1397 ; 

 ibid. 3. John was living in 1419 ; Add. 

 MS. 32106, no. 549.
