BLACKBURN HUNDRED ; About the year 1275 Alexander de Cuerdale, who had a house and free tenement here, released his right in this ridding to Adam de Grim- shagh," and Roger de Whalley son of Henry having given to Stanlaw Abbey the site of a tithe barn, with common right to take rushes or turves for thatching, and wood for malcing the barn-walls and an inclosing fence,^" granted his lands and tenements here with the services of his free tenants to Roger son of Richard de ; The estate held by the Alston family descended in the same manner as one- half of the manor of Alston, in the parish of Rib- chester. Richard de Alston contributed to the subsidy levied here in 1332, and probably the same Richard in 1349 released his lands here with an oxgang of land and his share of the lordship to John de Barton and Dionisia his wife. In 1371 Barton gave his lands here to Thomas his son.*' It is pro- bable that this interest soon after passed to the South- worths. About 1275 the Earl of Lincoln granted the fourth part of the manor to William de Samlesbury, kt.,*' so that the whole of this moiety of the manor became vested in the Samlesbury family, and was held by Nicholas Deuyas and Robert de Holand, kt., as heirs of Samlesbury, at the earl's death in 1311," and was subsequently divided be- tween them. One-fourth part was settled by fine made early in 1322, recorded in 1332, upon Alan, Robert and Thomas, sons of Sir Robert, successively," and so descended with the other Lancashire posses- sions of this family until they fell to the Crown by the forfeiture of the Duke of Exeter and of the heirs of Lovel ; The remaining fourth part descended with Samlesbury in the Southworth family. But in both cases manorial rights seem to have been resigned or permitted to lapse, for at the death of Thomas Southworth in 1432 his estate here is coupled with estates
