T^RADITION Says That the Pilkington Family JL Had Settl THE EARLY HISTORY OF THE LANCASHIRE FAMILY OF PILKINGTON, AND ITS BRANCHES, FROM IO66 TO I6OO. By Liciit. -Colonel John Pilkington. A Synopsis of the Paper read igth Nov. and jrd Dec., iSgi. 'T^RADITION says that the Pilkington family JL had settled, prior to the time of Edward the Confessor, in that tract of country called Pilkington, four and a half miles south by west of Bury, where their chief occupation was that of following the chase and tilling the ground. 1 The earliest reference to them, however, in the public records is the statement in the Testa dc Nevill that the manor of Pilkington was held by Alexander de Pilkington, under Robert i In the Djinesday Rook of William the Conqueror no reference to the name is met with : in fact there is only a very meagre statement regarding Salford Hundred, in which the vill of Pilkington was situated. The latter survey says : " In Salford Hundred King Edward [the Confessor] held "Salford; also Radcliffe." "Of this manor or hundred the following " knights hold land, by the grant of Roger de Poictou, viz. : Nigel, three "hides and half a carucate ; IVarin, two carucates, and [another] IVarin, "one carucate and a half; GoisfriJ, one carucate, and Game/, two carucates." " To this manor or hundred there belonged 21 berewicks, which were held " by as many thanes for as many manors." Now Pilkington must have been one of these manors [berewicks] , but, as that part of the kingdom was, at the time, reputed to he of little value, and as the original proprietors were left in undisturbed possession, it is easy to understand why so limited a reference is made. The manor of Pilkington may have been included in Nisei's land and from him have come down to the Gresley family, who are mentioned in the Testa de Neuill as the chief lords under whom the Pilkingtons held their lands. I. LEONARD DE PILKINGTON, lord of the manor of Pilkington, who, = B^cbtgrcc of tbc jJMUnngtons of Xancasbire according to tradition, fought under Harold at the Battle of Hastings, 1066. II.

As promised in the last volume of the Marriage Registers of Derbyshire, the marriage records of St. Alkmund's form the first instalment of the Registers of the County Town. The Editors do not doubt that these will prove especially interesting to Derbyshire people. In Volume V they hope to print further instalments of town registers in the shape of those of St. Michael's and also some village registers. It will be noticed that St. Alkmund's register begins at the earliest possible date, 1538, but of the remainder, two do not start till the seventeenth century and one, that of Quarndon, synchronizes with the passing of Lord Hardwicke's Marriage Act. 1379092 It will be convenient to give here a list of the Derby- shire parishes of which the Registers have been printed in this series: Volume I.

There have, not unexpectedly, been considerable archival losses too, as some later vacancy inventories at York make clear: the Durham sede vacante register of Alexander Neville (1381) and accompanying visitation records; the York sede vacante register after Neville’s own translation in 1388; the register of Thomas Arundel (only the register of his vicars-general survives today), and the register of Robert Waldby (likewise only his vicar-general’s register is now extant) have all long disappeared.1 Some of these would also have included records of ordinations, now missing from the chronological sequence.

  • Information About Sweeping, Waste Bins and Street Sign Cleaning
    Information about sweeping, waste bins and street sign cleaning With the exception of high profile areas, for example, the Town Centre, it is not always possible to be specific about days and dates. However if at any time, you see an area that needs sweeping, or a bin that is overflowing, please report it via [email protected] or (01257) 515151. If it is scheduled to be sorted shortly, we won’t do it twice. If it isn’t scheduled to be done soon, the response team will deal with it. Sweeping There are four types of sweeping arrangements: Large mechanical sweeper This sweeper works on the A roads around the litter picking ‘A’ roads Borough. We aim to sweep all A roads every three weeks. Within the 3 week cycle, we have built in capacity to respond to service requests, via the Contact Centre. In addition, we litter pick ‘A’ roads in the following areas, on the following days: Monday – Euxton Tuesday – Astley Village Wednesday – Whittle-le-Woods Thursday – Clayton Brook Friday - Clayton-le-Woods Small mechanical These sweep all non A roads in the Borough. We aim sweepers to do these sweeps every 8 weeks. All year. Handcarts We have two handcarts sweeping and litter picking in Chorley Town Centre from Monday to Saturday. We also have handcarts that sweep and pick streets that, from experience, we know have higher levels of litter and detritus. These include streets within, approximately, 1km of the Town Centre, shown in Appendix 1, and the (A6) Westhoughton Road, Railway Road, (A673) Chorley Road triangle in Adlington and Heath Charnock.

  • A Short History of the Township of Rivington in the County of Lancaster
    ^|S4ii^^^Si^:liif:;ivills^'; THE LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES A SHORT HISTORY OF THE TOWNSHIP OF A SHORT HISTORY OF THE TOWNSHIP OF IN THE COUNTY OF LANCASTER WITH SOME ACCOUNT OF THE CI)urcl) anil (grammar ^cl)ool BY WM. FERGUSSON IRVINE PRINTED AT THE BALLANTYNE PRESS, EDINBURGH 1904 57848^ ENGLISH LOCAL •r. •-a uj ^ PA PREFACE intention of this book is not to present the reader THEwith a dry archaeological account of the history of the township. The aim of the writer has been rather to put together a consecutive account of the descent of the Manor and the history of the Church, the old Nonconformist Chapel, and the Grammar School in a popular way, choosing in the main such incidents in the story of Rivington as illus- trate the manners and customs of our forefathers. To some people an account of this kind makes no appeal, but the writer ventures to hope that there are many who, while not attracted by the minutiae of antiquarian research, are sufficiently interested in a general way in the history of their neighbourhood to follow the story with pleasure. The idea of this book originated with Mr. W. H. Lever. When talking over the history of the countryside, Mr. Lever suggested that the scattered facts known about Rivington should be collected into a consecutive story, and this book is the outcome. It is hardly necessary to add how much the writer owes to Mr. Lever for the great interest he has taken in the work as it progressed, and for his constant encouragement and help, especially in giving full access to the Rivington charters and documents, many of which are dated as early as the thirteenth century.
