Not wishing, however, to overload that paper with details, I was content merely to mention Dionysia, the second daughter, whose issue was by inference extinct in 1386, hoping to deal more fully with her upon another occasion, and at the same time to add a few notes, of interrogation chiefly, about her husband's family. Sir Peter Leycester tells us, in reference to her, that "another daughter," whom he does not name, "married Thomas de Latham, and had four daughters, who had issue." Dr. Ormerod, when drawing up a pedigree of T,athom for the Collectanea/ accepted this statement on Leyee8tcr'H authority, and put her down as first wife of Sir Thomas Lathom, the elder. .But evidently he had his doubts; for in a pedigree of Latham, subsequently printed in his Miscellanea Palatina and Parentalia, he relegated the lady to a footnote. Turning to the claims made by Mascy's coheirs in 1344, we find that Dionysia was then dead, and was represented by four daughters• Lucy, wife of Thomas Lestrange of Knokyn ; Alice; Katherine, wife of 'I'homas de Hacford (Hakford or Hakeford); and Cecilia, wife of Richard de Bradeshagh.3 Of the fines with Henry of Lancaster, Earl of Derby, next year, Lucy and Cecilia, with their husbands and Alice, are parties to one, while Katherine and her husband fine separately from the rest.! Bradeshagh and Lestrange, with their wives, the former being described as of Pynynton, join in the bond of 1346, but Katherine and Alice are not there named.P So far we have no clue to Dionysia's husband.

Telephone: +356 2123 0712 E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.maltaknights.org TheLieutenant Grand Master of the Order H.E. Bailiff Michel Bohé OSJ, CMSJ Noteworthy memories of the past have, on the 8th of March 2014, made my visit to Malta a pleasurable and yet sentimental visit purposely made to celebrate, with the members of the Malta Priory, the 50th anniversary of the inauguration of ‘The Malta Priory’. Throughout these past fifty years, the Malta Priory has under- gone great changes - some good but others painful to the extent that schisms started to take place right after the death of King Peter. The main and most important change was when The Malta Priory was elevated, in February 22, 1970, to a Grand Priory to be known as the Russian Grand Priory of Malta. and to become the mother and the base of the Order as it stands today. From the many schisms that had occurred, a fortunate and positive move took place in April 2006 when, by the signing of a Concordat, a number of Priories joined the Russian Grand Priory of Malta to return back within their home base and International Headquarters in Malta.

  • A Visitors Guide To
    A Guide to St Elizabeth’s Roman Catholic Church Scarisbrick Mary Ormsby, Veronica & Tom Massam 1 This guide is dedicated to all parishioners and Priests, past and present, who over the generations have built and supported the Church and Catholic school in Scarisbrick. 2 Acknowledgements This guide would never have been brought to fruition without the help, support and encouragement of many people especially parishioners who loaned old photographs, alas we did not have space to include them all. The research itself has been a team effort over many years and we would like to thank the archivists and staff at Lancashire Records Office and the National Archives where most of the research was done. In addition Abbot Geoffrey Scott of Douai Abbey has provided much useful information and insight. Count Jean-Denis de Castéja, great grandson of Marie Emmanuel Count de Castéja who along with his father was responsible for the building of St Elizabeth’s, has provided many family photos and personal details. He continues to inspire and support our work. Thanks are also due to the Lancashire and Cheshire Antiquarian Society who allowed us to publish the map showing the sites of the mediaeval crosses, the Liverpool Echo and the Trustees of Douai Abbey for permission to reproduce photographs of members of the parish who became priests. As a group of scientists we needed help with our grammar, punctuation and editing, many thanks to Joe McNamara, Joan Taylor and Fr Hugh Somerville Knapmann OSB who have spent many hours helping to shape this final version of the guide.

  • RUSSIAN TRADITION of the KNIGHTS of MALTA OSJ The
    RUSSIAN TRADITION OF THE KNIGHTS OF MALTA OSJ The Russian tradition of the Knights Hospitaller is a collection of charitable organisations claiming continuity with the Russian Orthodox grand priory of the Order of Saint John. Their distinction emerged when the Mediterranean stronghold of Malta was captured by Napoleon in 1798 when he made his expedition to Egypt. As a ruse, Napoleon asked for safe harbor to resupply his ships, and then turned against his hosts once safely inside Valletta. Grand Master Ferdinand von Hompesch failed to anticipate or prepare for this threat, provided no effective leadership, and readily capitulated to Napoleon. This was a terrible affront to most of the Knights desiring to defend their stronghold and sovereignty. The Order continued to exist in a diminished form and negotiated with European governments for a return to power. The Emperor of Russia gave the largest number of Knights shelter in St Petersburg and this gave rise to the Russian tradition of the Knights Hospitaller and recognition within the Russian Imperial Orders. In gratitude the Knights declared Ferdinand von Hompesch deposed and Emperor Paul I was elected as the new Grand Master. Origin Blessed Gerard created the Order of St John of Jerusalem as a distinctive Order from the previous Benedictine establishment of Hospitallers (Госпитальеры). It provided medical care and protection for pilgrims visiting Jerusalem. After the success of the First Crusade, it became an independent monastic order, and then as circumstances demanded grafted on a military identity, to become an Order of knighthood. The Grand Priory of the Order moved to Rhodes in 1312, where it ruled as a sovereign power, then to Malta in 1530 as a sovereign/vassal power.

  • EXCAVATIONS at a MOATED SITE NEAR SCARISBRICK QCATTERED Over the South-West Lancashire Plain Are the Kj Remains of Some Forty Moated Sites
    EXCAVATIONS AT A MOATED SITE NEAR SCARISBRICK QCATTERED over the south-west Lancashire plain are the kJ remains of some forty moated sites. (1 ' Little is known of the origin of these earthworks and their function in some cases is not at all obvious. Many were doubtless fortified farmsteads and enclosures for animals, built for protection against robbers and wild animals. Some still surround farmhouses though the extant buildings are usually later in date.' 21 They vary greatly in size from the tiny one on top of the mound at Rufford to the con­ siderable area enclosed originally at New Park, Lathom. <3) The shape of these earthworks also varies considerably but most are rectangular or square, as at Lathom, while a few are round or oval. Until systematic excavation is undertaken it is unlikely that much will be known about these moats although it is quite possible that field work will reveal the sites of several more. So far local historians have been content with highly speculative guess-work about their origin and use. An instance of this is in the opinions put forward about the moated site in the grounds of Scarisbrick Hall. In a letter to the Southport Visiter on 24 December 1906, the Rev. Bulpit expressed the opinion that the original hall was "erected where there is now a moat in the grounds"; and that "it was a timber and plaster erection". F. H. Cheetham, after noting that there is no documentary evidence existing in the Scarisbrick charters for the existence of a hall during the Middle Ages, thought that there must have been a house for the Scarisbrick family to live in but recognized that "of this mediaeval Scarisbrick Hall we know nothing".

  • Lancashire Manor History
    A little bit of history about the building. Best Western Lancashire Manor is a historical building for the area. Parts of the hotel dates back to ancient times when Lathom House, just a few miles away, was the home of the 7th Earl of Derby. It was the last Royal stronghold of the King of England that stood between Oliver Cromwell and his parliamentary army during the Civil War of 1642 – 46. Following the second siege the fortress Lathom House finally fell and on the order of parliament levelled to the ground. It is believed that the imposing stone entrance gate pillars and much of the stone used in the Great Hall were part of Lathom House. The main stone building dates back to 1770 and was part of Higher Balcony Farm one of the many ancient farms all of which are believed to originate from the estate of the Church and Priory of Burscough which was the largest and wealthiest Priory in northern England. The picture below right is of the original Balcony Farm where you can see the current centre of the hotel and the gate posts (now relocated). The name Balcony changed at some time to Belle Coney, a name given to one of our suites. (Old barn (left) – now the great hall) (Old farm house – now the lounge bar area) We know that in 1926 Mr. George Alker leased and subsequently purchased the farm from Peter Dickinson who was the previous Priory tenant. At that time he married Miss. Annie Bradley. The Bradley’s had several farms around Upholland and Tower Hill, including Lower Balcony Farm located adjacent and lower down the valley.
