. The Victoria history of the county of Lancaster;. Natural history. BLACKBURN HUNDRED BLACKBURN money, raised doubtless by a mortgage of estates already encumbered, and that this led to the sub- sequent alienation of the manor.^^ Thomas Langton was made at the Coronation of James I, and dying at Westminster in 1604 ^^ was succeeded in the barony of Newton by his kinsman Richard son of Thomas Fleetwood of Colwick. Soon after acquiring the manor Messrs. Sweeting and Hobbes appear to have conveyed it to Richard Hoghton with other dependent manors in the hundreds of Blackburn and Leyland,^' and in this family it has descended to the present owner. Sir James De Hoghton, bart. Walton Hall was pulled down in 1834. I' had previously undergone alterations which gave it a modern appearance, being a large structure of brick and stone with projecting gabled end wings and classic porch in the centre, in the pediment of which was the Hoghton coat of arms.^* Court rolls of the manor have been preserved from 1625 to 1766, and rentals, &c., from 1659. BJNISTER HALL, also called Darwen Hall, lies in the northern part of the township towards Cuerdale and not far from the northern bank of the River Darwen. The estate probably represents a feoffment to a kinsman by one of the early lords of Walton. Henry Banastre had lands in Cuerdale and Walton in the early part of the reign of Henry III ; Richard his son occurs in 1246 and 1248 and was the father of Henry, the elder, and Geoffrey, con- temporaries of Robert Banastre, their chief lord.*' Henry had sons, Henry the younger and William, both contributors to the subsidy levied in 1332, and Richard, who married Alice daughter of Roger son of Adam de Preston, and was ancestor of the Banastres of Preston.^'' Henry Banastre frequently occurs as one of the principal freeholders here from I 318 to 1348, and was one of the overseers appointed in 1343 to prevent the taking of salmon in the close season in the waters of Lune, Wyre, Ribble
