Jtf Amitn O1f Jherhorn A HISTOR,Y OF TH:g Jtfamitn o1f jherhorn. BY CHARLES DAVIES SHERBORN. LONDON: MITCHELL AND HUGHES, 140 vVARDOUR STREET, vV. 1901. 1J1; TO ~Jl jfatbtr, CHARLES WILLIAM SHERBORN, P .A.INTER-ETCHER. Jrtfart. • f N this sl(etch of the family of Sherborn I have endeavoured to collect together all material known to me, in the hope that it may form a useful reference-book for genealogists and local historians. Though mucl1 indebted to the labours of earlier workers in the same field., I have been enabled to add a great quantity of m~tter previously overlooked, and have ventured to include in the INDEX a reference to every individual bearing the name that I have found, thinking that such may be of service to others beside myself, who may wish to link together or verify particular persons. My labours would have been m11ch more incom­ plete had it not been for the generous assistance of }Ir. T. 0. SMITH, the historian of Ribbleton and Chipping, who has sent me from time to time extracts from his voluminous manuscripts ; I am also indebted to Mrs. TEMPEST of Broughton Hall for valuable extracts from various deeds, ,vhich have established many dates and facts previously obscu~e_; and to Mr. A. GIBBONS of Hevvarth Green, York, vvl10 has made for me careful abstracts of the ,vills in the York Registers. CHAS. DA VIES SHERBORN. 49 PETERBOROUGH Ro.A.D, Jj"ULR.A.M, LONDON, S. W. CONTEN.TS.

HE history of the Fa111ily of Sherborn, so closely connected with that of Lancashire up to the end of the seventeent,h century, has never been fully written. In 1824 an account of the family appeared in the Gentleman's Magazine above the signature "ll'lT' "; in 1894 Father Gerard, in his History of' Stonyh~~lrst College, gave much interesting matter ; while in 1898 Dr. Cox's lecture on the Sherborns of Stonyhurst was published in the Preston Guardian. These are the longer articles dealing with the subject, but pedigrees and inforina­ tion have appeared in T. D. Whitaker's History of Whalley and History of 01·aven, and 111any valuable notes ha,ve been preserved by Mr. T. C. Smith and Colonel Fish-wick in various local histories. Other scattered notes have appeared_ in literature, all of which will be referred to in their proper places. The history of the main branch of the family will be told, as far as possible, as a running story, after ,vhich that of the other branches will be dealt with in successive chapters. J3 2 THE NAME It appears fro1n various records that two important families of similar name existed in 1220, one Sherborn of the Lan­ cashire-Yorkshire border, and the other Shernborn of Shern­ born, near Hunstanton in Norfolk. This latter family is said to be referred to as early as the Conqueror. So far as my researches go, I have absolutely failed to obtain any proof of the connection of the t·wo. I ·will therefore deal first with the Lan­ cashire-Yorkshire fan1ily, devoting a late chapter to such notes as I have been able to glean regarding the Norfolk Shernborns. The name has been variously written: Sherborn, Sherborne, Sherbourn, Sherbourne, Sherbon, Sherburn, Shereburne, Sheerburne, Shearburn, Sha.rborne, Shirburn, Shirborn, Shir­ burne, Shireborne, Shirebourne, Shireburne, Shurborne, Scireburn, Scyreburne, Schyrebourne, Shyreburne, Schir­ burn, Schireburne, Schyreburne, Scyrburne, Cherbron, Chur­ borne, etc. The living representatives of the family use Sherborn, Sherburn, Sherburne, Shearburn, and Sherbourne. The derivation of the word is considered to be from the Anglo-Saxon, and on this 1natter I will quote two letters with which I was favoured some years ago by the Rev. Professor Skeat :- " Aitg. 1898. "I think it quite clear that there are two distinct sets of spellings, 1neaning two distinct places: (1) Shir, Shire, Schir, Schyr, and Do1nesday Schire, Scir, Scire, and· Sire all mean one and the same Anglo-Saxon spelling, viz., scir; (2) Sherne, Sharne, Domesday Scerne, all refer to the same Anglo-Saxon spelling, viz., scern or scearn. But to the best of my belief Sherborn in Dorset was formerly Anglo-Saxon scir-burn, meaning ' clear burn ' or ' clear stream.' "The sense of the other I cannot just now give. There are two boiirns in English. One is boU,rn, a boundary, a French word, and not used in English place names except in very modern instances. The other bourn is very abundant and co1n1non, :from Anglo-Saxon biirn, a bourn or strea1n or river, the familiar Scotch bwrn. This is sure to be the final syllable in any case and in both instances. "w. W. SKEAT." OF SHE-RBORN. 3 "17 Sep. 1898. "I just write to say that Sherborn in Dorset is Anglo­ Saxon scirburn, ancl is certainly deriYed from Anglo-Saxon scir, pure, clear, and bnrn, a brook. I think all the other Sherborns are of the sarne origin. The spelling Shernborn can only be Anglo-French. Anglo-French aJways puts o for the Anglo-Saxon u, hence the spelling borne. Hence also the putting of Shern for Sher, where the n is quite useless and unintelligible. To shew how absurd it is, it is sufficient to say that the Middle-English shern meant "filth," quite opposite to what ,vas really 1neant. "W. w. SKEAT." It is interesting to note that the early spelling of the northern name was Shyreburne (1246., Feet of Fines, Henry III.), Shireburn (1282, Patent Rolls), Schireburn (1262, Papal Letters), Shirburn (1286, Patent Rolls); ,vhile that of the Norfolk family was Sharneburne (circa, Willia1n I., Blomfield, History of Norfolk, x. 354), and as late as 1623 Mary Sharnbourn, the last of the Norfolk fa1nily, signed her 1narriage register" Sharnbourn," and thereby drew forth a note fro1n the Registrar that though she signed" Sharnbourn," her father was called of Sherborne of co. Suffolk. This per­ sistent use of the letter n in the surname of the Norfolk family has been of considerable use in disentangling certain entries in the publications of the Public Record Office and elsewhere, e.g., Sir Harry (or Henry) Sherborne or Shern­ borne, 111entioned frequently during the reign of Henry VIII. under variou~ spellings, wa.s a Shern borne of Norfolk, and had 110 connection, so far as I can find, ,vith the Lancashire­ y orkshire house. In other original and early local centres ,vhere the ,vord ·was used as a surna1ne., e.g., York, Gloucester, a,nd Kent, the ·word always appears to be that of a locality and not of a fan1ily. For exan1ple., vve read in the Chartulary of St. Peter's lVIonastery, Gloucester (W. H. Hart., 1863), of vVilliehnus de Syreborne 1148-79, Johannes de Syreborne 1148-79, Johannes Schyreborne 1266-67, and Raclulphus de Schire­ borne 1266-67. Fro1n the latter date until 1619 I do not ;B 2 4 THE NAME OF SHERBORN. find any further reference to the nan1e in the locality, and it is therefore highly probable that in the earlier cases the name was applied to those who came fro1n Sherborne in Gloucestershire. The She1·borns of Wells, Ohewe, and Wester­ leigh, who came in by wills at 1619, I have hitherto failed to identify with earlier people, and they are lost to me about 1780. Throughout this account I have siinply used the letter S., except when quoting, and in conformity with the custo111 of the Public Record Office adopt the spelling Sherborn when using the word in an extended form. ( 5 ) CHAPTER II. THE SHERBORNS OF STONYHURST. HE earliest me1nber of the Lancashire-Yorkshire family T whose nan1e has come down to us is Robert de S. He was nephew (Stow MS.),grandson (,V.,*ii.475) of Geoffroy l'.Arbalastier. This Geoffroy (Balistarius, Arlaster, Arble­ starius), or the "bowman," first appears in a fine made at West1ninster 25 June 1200 (Feet of Fines, Lane., John, No. 2; W.). He is referred to in the Coucher of Lancaster (Harl. MS. 3764, 52 and 54; W.) in 1230, and appears to have died before 1246, as we find by fine made at Lancaster 24 Oct.

The number and distribution of salmonid redds throughout salmonid catchments provides invaluable information on the range and extent of spawning by both salmon and sea trout. A project was initiated by the Fisheries Science and Management Team of Central Area, NW Region in liason with the Flood Defence function. The main objective of this project was to assess redd count data for Central Area and attempt to quantify these data in order to produce a grading system that would highlight key salmonid spawning areas. By showing which were the main areas for salmon and sea trout spawning, better informed decisions could be made on whether or not in-stream Flood Defence works should be given the go-ahead. The main salmonid catchments in Central Area were broken into individual reaches, approximately 1 km in length. The number of redds in these individual reaches were then calculated and a density per lkm value was obtained for each reach. A grading system was devised which involved looking at the range of density per km values and dividing this by five to produce 5 classes, A - E.
