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

[1604] held his lands in Croston of the

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-

“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

—
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.
