WotsLKv of Piatt. Argent on a chief gules a mural crown or. active part in affairs on the Parliamentary side,'® and had the doubtful honour of dispersing the remnant of the Long Parliament by force in 1653 and taking charge of the ' bauble' which Cromwell ordered to be removed/^ He was also engaged in the govern- ment of Lancashire," confiscating the property of Royalists, filling the gaols with ' Papists,'" suppress- ing horse-races, and otherwise promoting the public good according to his light. Worn out with his labours, he died in June 1656, at the early age of thirty-five.^** The estate was until recently owned by Mr. Nicholas Tindal-Carill-Worsley, who married ^3 The deeds printed by Booker enable the pedigree to be made out fairly well. ' In 1314 William son of Hugh de Lagh- okes released to Robert son of Richard de Farnivorth all his claim to the moiety of Piatt; Booker, op, cit. 192. Laghok, or LafFog, in Parr, also belonged to the Hos- pitallers. Ten years later Roger del Piatt (of the other moiety) agreed with Robert son of Richard del Piatt as to the division of certain pasture lying between Roger's door and the Geldbrook ; ibid. 193. The above-named Ellen daughter of Henry del Piatt in 1343-4 sold her land to the second Piatt family; ibid, 194-7. The remainders were to Richard and John sons of Robert del Piatt. Certain suits between members of the different Piatt families may here be noticed. Margery widow of Adam de Farnworth in 1290 appeared against Robert son of Richard de Piatt and Geoffrey de Piatt for dower
