One Thomas Barcroft, a
priest," resided with Dame
Alice Hesketh at Martholme
for some time during 1590.
She was assessed to the subsidy
levied in 1599-1600 on lands
valued at £16. Three years
later her second son Thomas, a recusant, notified the
curate of Harwood of his coming to dwell with his
mother at Martholme. In 1634 he was attached
under pain of {£200 fine to answer charges of
recusancy, having for some time avoided arrest.”
