A HISTORY OF LANCASHIRE 



daughters Mar^ and Katherine, then aged ten and 

 six years respectively. In 1601 they, as Mary 

 Singleton widow and Katherine wife of Thomas 

 Hoghton, obtained an award of all the lands as the 

 result of an arbitration, but had to pay j^450 to 

 Henry Hoghton of Extwistle, the heir male.'^ Soon 

 afterwards the estate was sold to Savill Radcliffe of 

 Todmorden and Great Mearley/® It was sold by 

 his descendants in 1701,'® The purchaser was John 

 Harrison, who also acquired Mearley. A few years 

 later Little Pendleton passed to Lonsdale and then by 

 marriage to Atherton. From John Atherton in 1 807 

 it was purchased by the Starkies of Huntroyde and 

 has since descended with their estates.^ No manor 

 is now claimed. 



The manor of the Blackburn family in Great Pen- 

 dleton, named in 1295 and later, has left no distinct 

 trace in the records." Part may have been held by 

 the RadclifFes of Winmarleigh." 



iVrMONDHOUSES'' was granted by Henry de 

 Lacy to a certain John, who was to hold it by a rent 

 of 6s, 8i/." His son William de Wymondhouses was 



recorded to hold it in 1302 as the fortieth part of a 

 knight's fee." It was afterwards held by Gartside," 

 Feildcn " and Pudscy," and in 1+88-9 ^^^ »old by 

 Rowland Pudsey to the first Earl of Derby.** The 

 third earl in 1563 sold it to the Watsons," who seem 

 to have transferred it in 1590 to John Halliday." 

 In the next century part at least became about 

 1668-75 the property of Thomas Jollie, the famous 

 Nonconformist minister, who built a chapel there, as 

 will be seen below. There are accounts of this 

 Thomas Jollie (1629-1703) and his grandson and 

 namesake (d. 1764) in the Dictionary of National 

 Biography?^ This estate also now belongs to Mr. 

 Starkie of Huntroyde, part having been purchased 

 from Thomas Carr in 1809 and the rest in 181 1 

 from James Bury," 



STJNDEN was in 1258 occupied by a grange 

 belonging to the lord of Clitheroe." The various 

 accounts which have been printed show the profits 

 derived from it"; it was in 1342 let at a rent of 

 j^5 6s. %d,^^ In 1360 the Duke of Lancaster granted 

 it to Whalley Abbey for the endowment of a recluse 



lands then settled, including Lower Thorn- 

 hill in Pendleton, were disputed in 1543 

 by Alexander Hoghton and others ;

 Hall, &c, to the use of Maud his wife 

 for life, to himself and issue, to his 

 nephew John (son of Henry) Hoghton 

 and male issue, to Robert son of Henry 

 Hoghton of Extwistle, &c ; ibid, no, 590. 

 By his will, dated 1577, Alexander made 

 his nephew John and Agnes his wife

 by which she gave her inheritance to John 

 Falegh ; Kuerden, loc. cit. The bounds 

 as recited name Brockhole Syke, Reedy-

 of Wi Uiam Hoghton and William Hoghton

 as trustees. In 1428 Margery widow of

^^ From Dr. Laycock's research in the 

 Court Rolls it appears that the estate 

 descended to a Thomas Jollie, who in 

 1773 was succeeded by a namesake. This 

 Thomas Jollie of Wymondhouses died in 

 1794 ; his nephew and next heir Thomas 

 Thornthwaite of Paternoster Row was in 

 1809 succeeded by two daughters, Sarah 

 Blood and Hannah Pattisson, who sold to 

 James Bury of Sabden, calico printer.
