at Sawston in 1557 and died in 1607-8,

leaving a son and heir Henry, who

married Dorothy Dormer.

Sir Thomas Hesketh in 1566 claimed

showing that the younger Robert’s son and heir, <<<< Robert’s ~1607 son and heir Thomas born ~1647.

having succeeded to Rufford. The hall in 1666 had

Molyneux.® The manor has since descended regularly

bart., the present lord, who resides at Easton Neston,

Northamptonshire.” The estates have recently been

offered for sale and considerable portions have been

disposed of.

Thomas Nelson of

Chaddleworth in Berkshire in 1590 had

a capital messuage and tenement called

Castleyard, which was soon afterwards

sold to Robert Hesketh of Rufford ; no.

1632, 1607, 117. See also Ducatus Lanc.

[Rec. Com.], iii, 224, 34].

In 1590 the Dean and chapter of

Chester claimed the qos. rent from

Robert Hesketh, but he replied that it

had been paid to the dissolved monastery

under an agreement with the abbot that

one of the younger sons of the family

should be kept at school in the monas-

tery ; Duchy of Lanc. Plead. Eliz. cxlix,

C 16.

In 1598 agreement was made between

Mr. Justice Walmsley, Robert Hesketh and Roger

Nowell, esqs., for a division of the moors and wastes

of Rishton and Great Harwood.” To confirm his

position as lord of the manor, Robert Hesketh in

1615 obtained a grant of view

of frank-pledge in the town

and manor of Much Har-

wood, otherwise the Over

Town and ‘Laugher’ Town

of Harwood, and in the

hamlet and manor of Tottle-

worth.*%

9 Richard Taylor of Preston [1596]

held a messuage, &c., of Robert Hesketh

and Thomas Ashton as of their manor of

Longton ; and this descended to another

Richard Taylor, after whose death in

1631 a similar tenure was recorded ;

Duchy of Lanc. Ing. p.m. xvii, no, 25 3

xxvil, no. 63. See note 7 above.

William Dicconson of Eccleston

[1604] held his lands in Croston of the

king as of the late priory of St. John of

Jerusalem [124d. rent], of Robert Hesketh

[2s. 4d.] and Thomas Ashton [4d.] as of

their manors of Croston ; Lancs. Ing. p.m.

[Rec. Soc. Lancs. and Ches.], i, 18.

Henry Rowe held a cottage of Hesketh

and Ashton, lords of Croston, in 1608 ;

ibid. 93. William Stopford of Ulnes

Walton [1617] held a messuage, &c., of

Thomas Ashton by 6d. rent, and another

of Robert Hesketh ; ibid. ii, 73.

Richard Sherdley, apparently the heir

of Henry, died in 1639 holding messuages,

&c., in Longton, Hutton and Farington

as before ; Ralph, his son and heir, was

forty-two years of age; Towneley MS.

feoffed his third son Edward of an estate

in Longton and Hutton.

Several members of the family are

mentioned in agreements of 1605-7 ;

Pal. of Lanc. Plea R. 293, m. 63 300,

m. 4. See also Kuerden MSS. iii, L 6,

7, 8. About that time a large part of

their holding appears to have been sold to

Robert Hesketh of Rufford ; Add. MS.

32108, no. 651-60, 662, &c.

In 1611 Richard Fleetwood, Thomas Ashton,

Robert Hesketh and Richard Shireburne were said

to be lords of the manor.* There were ‘five lords

of the manor’ about 1719.3 In 1806 Sir T. D.

Hesketh, Thomas Weld, John Trafford and John

Moss as lords of the manor granted a piece of waste

ground in the villaxe as a school site.4 From this it

appears that John Muss held the fourth part formerly

belonging to Evesham. The Weld share seems to

have been sold to the Stricklands. In 1833 the lords

of the manor were represented by Robert Moss, one

of them.’ In 1870 the names of the lords were

given as Sir T. G. Fermor Hesketh, J. R. de

Trafford, William Moss and — Strickland °; at

present as Messrs. Thomas Richard Wilkins, William

and Richard Strickland and Alfred Moss Breakell-

Moss.

plough-land [i.e. half the manor], and

granted a moiety of it to Sibyl and

Amiria, daughters of William, to hold by

a rent of 2s, 6d. William son of Henry

held part of the same half-plough-land,

Thomas Thornton died in

1615? holding three messuages, &c., in

Becconsall and Hesketh of Robert Hes-

keth and Henry Banastre ; John, his son

and heir, was twenty-one years of age

1620 are recited. Robert’s wife Jane,

who bore him a son before marriage,

afterwards married Sir Richard Hoghton,

and had the manors of Harwood, Tottles-

worth, Mawdesley and Wrightington, with

various lands, assigned as dower. Licence

for the marriage of Robert Hesketh and

Jane Haresnape was granted 6 June

“In the inquisition after the death of

Robert Hesketh in 1620 the ‘manor of

Tarleton-with-Sollom,’ with messuages,

lands and rents, is erroneously stated to

have been hell by him ‘of the Earl of

Derby as of the dissolved monastery of

St. John of Jerusalem’ in socage. A

son Robert, by his father’s grant, was in

Fossession of this part of the estate.

Adam Banastre confirmed to William

son of Henry de Hesketh part of his land

in the vill of Becconsall and Hesketh,

with common of pasture and other

liberties, at a rent of 12d.; Towneley

MS. C 8, 13 [Chet. Lib.], B 314. John

de Hesketh was a witness. Richard

Banastre in 1246 claimed 4 acres in

Becconsall from William son of Henry

and William son of John de Beconsaw,

but failed; Assize R. 404, m. 3d.

Note: This record places John with his brother Henry in Lancashire. The 1246 date would be slightly after the land transfer from Adam to William. If that transfer was in 1245, then John and William would both have to be born by 1224.

In 1561 Sir Thomas Hesketh pur-

chased the manor of Hesketh and Bec-

consall and various lands from Edmund

Huddleston and Dorothy his wife; Pal.

of Lanc. Feet of F. bdle. 23, m.

His title was thus secured, and in the

inquisition after his death [1588] it is

recorded that he held the moiety of the

manor of Hesketh and Becconsall of the

queen as of the lately dissolved house of

St. John of Jerusalem in England ;

Duchy of Lanc. Ing. p.m, xv, no. 56. In

that after his son Robert's death in 1620

the ‘ manor’ of Hesketh-cum-Becconsall

is recorded, but the service is not men-

tioned ; Lancs. Ing. p.m. [Rec. Soc. Lancs.

and Ches.], ili, 351, 356.

By the will of Sir Thomas Hesketh

the hall and demesne lands of Becconsall

were given to his third son Richard ;

Add. MS. 32104, no. 1. Richard after-

wards suffered as a traitor, but in 1628

one Nicholas Hesketh, a convicted recu-

sant, was the only landowner in the

township contributing to the subsidy ;

Misc. [Rec. Soc. Lancs. and Ches.], i,

165.

George Hesketh of Kirkham [1572]

held lands in Croston and Mawdesley of

Sir Thomas Hesketh and Roger Croston ;

Duchy of Lance. Ing. p.m. xiii, no. 15.

7 George Hesketh of Poulton [1572]

held lands in Longton of John Fleetwood

by arent of 12d.; Duchy of Lance. Ing.

pm. xiii, no. 15. This may have been

acquired by James Stopford of Ulnes

Walton, who held similarly in 1611;

Lancs. Inj. p.m, [Rec. Soc. Lancs. and

Ches.], i, 1703 ii, 73.

The Beconsaw family held their moiety until the

16th century.© Edward Beconsaw recorded a pedigree

in 1533,’ and died on 19 April

1535, holding the manor of

Becconsall and lands there of

Sir Thomas Weston, Prior of

St. John of Jerusalem in Eng-

land, in socage by a rent of

gs. the clear annual value

being £10. He had lands

also in Lydiate, Aughton,

Aspinwall in Scarisbrick and

Much Hoole. His heir was

his son Henry, nineteen years

ofage.® Henry left a daughter,

Dorothy, whereupon the

manor and lands were claimed

by Adam Beconsaw, brother of Henry, as heir male.

After some disputing a settlement was made, chiefly

in his favour,’ but he did not enjoy possession long,

dying in December 1544, and leaving it to a son

George, two years old."

In 1551, George having <<<< Beconsaw family is not Heketh family, so different George.

died, the manor of Becconsall and lands there and in

Hesketh, Much Hoole and Aughton were settled

upon Richard Beconsaw, with remainders to his wife

Joan for life, and then to the issue of Richard, or in

default to Richard Ashton of Croston.'' The claim

by Richard seems to have been unjust, for this

moiety of the manor went to Dorothy, and was sold

to Sir Thomas Hesketh of Rufford,'? who thus gained

as 3,662 acres [including 8 of inland

water’, with 79 acres of tidal water and

1,130 of foreshore. The difference,

over 1,$00 acres, is due to the inclosures

recorded above.

Statistics from Bd. of Agric. [1905].

Note: From the above [see 1551], it would appear that George Hesketh [1495->1572] and the “senior” or “Henry [1206] lines” still controlled at least much of their holdings at this time. This Sir Thomas [in 1561] most likely aquired the other half of Hesketh, owned by the Beconsaws. However, this means we can no longer diffentiate the two lines by who owns Hesketh.
