A HISTORY OF LANCASHIRE 



Bridgewater estates, and shortly before his death 

 agreed to sell them to Lord Francis Egerton, after- 

 wards first earl of Ellesmere. In 1836 Mr. Brad- 

 shaw's devisees in pursuance of this agreement 

 conveyed the manor of Tyldesley, the mesne manor 

 of Garrett, and the estate of Booths to the first earl of 

 Ellesmere, grandfather of the present owner.' 



CHADDOCKHALL (Chaidok, 1332 ; Cheidocke, 

 1586), on the eastern side of the township, was for 

 many centuries the estate of a family of yeomen of 

 the same name, of whom Henry and Adam con- 

 tributed to the subsidy granted in 1332." Thomas 

 de Chaydok, a free tenant, was living in 1350.' In 

 1547 Thomas, Piers, and James, sons of Hugh 

 Chaddock, gent., were summoned to the Duchy 

 chamber to answer Sir Robert Worsley of the Booths, 

 knt., for breaking into his haybarn, taking a tame red 

 deer and conveying it to the 

 house of Sir John Atherton, 

 knt., at Lostock, where they 

 killed and ate it.* Thomas 

 Chaddock,' great-grandson of 

 the above Thomas, entered his 

 pedigree at the herald's visi- 

 tation in 1664-5," and was 

 father of Thomas Chaddock 

 who graduated B.A. of Brase- 

 noje College, Oxford, in 1692 

 and was presented by George I 

 to the vicarage of Eccles in 

 I 72 I.' He died in 1723 leav- 

 ing an only daughter Grace, 

 who married, first, Miles Barrett, B.A., who died 

 before 1728 ; secondly, James Markland of Chaddock 

 Hall, gent., who joined with her in 1 73 1 in a sale 

 of the estate to Samuel Clowes of Manchester, mer- 

 chant.' It passed by purchase with the manor of

 already recorded. 



THE GARRETT, standing half a mile north-west 

 of Chaddock Hall, was the mansion house of the 

 lords of the manor of Tyldesley," whose descent has 

 been traced to John Tyldesley, senior, esq., living 

 in 1468. He is probably the same person as John 

 Tyldesley who died in 1497 seised of this man<jr, 

 and of moieties of the manors of Barnston and Arrow, 

 county Chester,'" whose son and heir John was 

 described in 1505 as of Garrett, when he did homage 

 for his lands in Tyldesley." He died in 1509" 

 seised of a capital messuage called 'The Garrette ' in 

 Tyldesley, seven messuages, 276 acres of land, meadow, 

 pasture, and heath, which he held of Sir Thomas 

 Butler, knt., as of his manor of Warrington by the 

 yearly rent of 20 pence and suit of court every three 

 weeks." Rich.ird his son was a minor at his father's 

 death," and was married to Mary, daughter of Richard 

 Heaton, who had purchased his marriage in 15 11." 

 He was probably the father of Geoffrey, who suc- 

 ceeded him before 1548,'* and w.is in turn succeeded 

 by his brother Lambert before 1563," who heads the 

 pedigree entered at the visitation of 1664-5" ''"'i t^'^J 

 in 1596. In the fourth generation from Lambert 

 the family failed in the male line, and by the marriage 

 of his great-grandaughter Mary to Thomas Stanley of 

 Eccleston this estate passed to that family." Richard 

 son and heir of Thomas and Frances was aged three 

 j'ears in 1664, and by his wife Anne was the father 

 of Thomas Stanley of Garrett,'" who joined with his 

 trustees in 1732 in a sale of the estate to Thomas 

 Clowes of Manchester, gent." In 1829 Robert 

 Haldane Bradshaw, esq., of Worsley Hall, purchased 

 the estate from the Rev. Thomas Clowes of Darlaston 

 Hall, count)' Stafford, for the consideration of

 time of Henry HI William son of Re- 

 ginald de Chadoc gave half the land of 

 Chadoc in Tyldesley to Elias son of Robert 

 de Chadoc, which grant Hugh de Tyldes- 

 ley confirmed. Elias was father of Robert, 

 to whom Henry de Tyldesley gave lands 

 in T\ldesley with remainder to Thomas 

 son of John de Cliadoc. John de Chadoc
