Talk:Slaidburn

Please note that Newton has not been a manor in its own right since the C13th. The sale of the "manor" by Manorial Auctioneers in 2011 was illicit. Since the late C13th, the township of Newton, like those of Grindleton and West Bradford, has fallen within the Manor and Liberty of Slaidburn. Since 1950, the Assheton family of Downham have owned the Lordship of the Manor and Liberty of Slaidburn, West Bradford and Grindleton. Lord O'Hagan has no right to claim or sell the property of others. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Manorial (talk • contribs) 11:34, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

THE "MANOR" OF NEWTON
Would the person who bought the "manor" of Newton in good faith from Manorial Auctioneers kindly check the HM Registry recordss for 1950, 1977, 2003 relating to the Manor & Liberty of Slaidburn. They plainly show that the township of Newton is part of the Manor of Slaidburn and thus owned by Thomas Assheton. Lord O'Hagan had no legal right to sell the non-existent "manor" of Newton in February 2011. The purchaser needs to refer back to his solicitor Rollasons on this matter as he has been misled.

 * Actually now that I've done my own research here, this seems to be contradictory to what all current sources are saying - this includes newspapers and even a journal published by Cambridge University.  I'm removing the material since basing this claim solely on land records appears to be original research; if you have any secondary sources which support your claim, please provide those.

Shell, please email me at swjolly@btinternet.com I don't know what sort of research you've undertaken but the monograph published by Cambridge which I co-authored is the most authoritative current study. What is contradictory? I fear you may be misinterpreting the data.

Shell, I've emailed you an explanation of the complex interrelationship between the lordships of Bowland, Slaidburn and Newton. Let me know if you have any questions please.

 * You're absolutely correct - somewhere in reading the convoluted history I managed to confuse Newton, Newton-in-Bowland and Bowland. Thank you for fixing my error. Shell   babelfish 20:55, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

MANORIAL COMPLEXITY WITHIN SLAIDBURN PARISH

 * Shell, I have worked hard to clarify the complex interrelations between Slaidburn, Newton, Knowlmere, Hammerton, Battersby(Dunnow)and Lower Easington in the history section. This was at the request of Trappedinburnley. Manorial (talk) 12:15, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

Trappedinburnley, I've redrafted the Easington para as follows:


 * Lying within the parish of Slaidburn, the manor of Lower Easington had been subinfeuded in early times and as a mesne manor of the Lords of Bowland, did not fall within the demesne of Slaidburn - the Banastre/Bannister family holding the manor from the early sixteenth century.[9] The lands of Upper Easington may originally have been a Slaidburn township but grants by the de Lacys in the thirteenth century, most notably to Kirkstall Abbey, gave the area its own grange at Rushton.[10] At some later point, presumably at or after the Reformation, the manor of Lower Easington took control of the lands that subsequently became Upper Easington.[verification needed]

This whole area needs research! Manorial (talk) 23:41, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
