A HISTORY OF LANCASHIRE 



Rodes," Aspden," Wallbank '■ and Collinson " occur among the earlier deeds, and the inquisitions show 



and Ag;nc» in 1317 gave lands in Church, 

 the homage of Richard de Wallbank, &c., 

 to Roger de Cattlow, with remainders to 

 his sons John, WUiiara, Henry, and Adam, 

 and the gift was in 1322 confirmed by 

 Cecily daughter of Peter de Radcliffe and 

 Christiana her sister ; ibid. no. 962, 1 138. 

 From the latter it appears that Agnes de 

 Holt was the daughter of Peter de Rad- 

 cliffe. Roger de Cattlow in 131 7 made 

 an agreement with Robert de Holt and 

 Agnes his wife, by which they were to 

 hold a messuage, &c., for life ; Final Cone.

Earlier there was also a Richard son of 

 William de Cattlow, to whom Adafn son 

 of Uctrcd de Church gave lands in Wall- 

 bank ; the bounds mention Elingrene 

 and Hyndburn ; HH, no. 54. In 1305 

 Adam (called) Humphrey de Church and 

 Alice his wife gave a moiety of all their 

 land to Peter de Church, who was son 

 and heir of the said Alice ; ibid, no, 33. 

 By another charter they released all right 

 to Peter son of Richard de Cattlow ; ibid, 

 no. 32. The Peters are probably the 

 same.

 William all the lands he had had from 

 Christiana de Church ; Add. MS. 32104,

 1345 and 1355 gave his brother William 

 and Beatrice his wife lands in Oswald- 

 twistlc and Church; Add. MS. 32104,

 Robert Lache was confirmed by Agnes 

 widow of Richard Riding, eldest daughter 

 and co-heir, Margaret (second daughter)
