Bibliography<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"style1\"><strong>SOME WINWICK NAMES AND NOTABILITIES.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The whole of Winwick having from very early times been the patrimony of the Church, had not, as was the case in most of our other Lancashire towns, any great landowner who took his name from the place ; still from time to time there have been a few persons for the most part connected with the Church who have borne the local name, and such of these as appear the. most remarkable have been extracted from old charters and documents, and will be found in the following list.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I<\/strong>.\u2014Richard de Winwick. When Roger of Poictou gave the Church of Winwick to the canons of St. Oswald, Richard, the parson of Winwick, is said to have held two parts, and Robert de Waleton the third part, and the same Richard is said also to have held a carucate of land by knight&#8217;s service de antiquitate.<span class=\"style4000\">(160)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>II<\/strong>.\u2014William de Winwick, during the reign of Rich. I., between 1193 and 1199, was a witness to the foundation charter of Cockersand Priory;<span class=\"style4000\">(161)<\/span> and in 3 John, 1202, he accounted for x. marks and ii. palfreys, which he was to give for xxx. acres of land.<span class=\"style4000\">(162)<\/span> He also held v. carucates of the King in thanage, for which he paid xxs. a year.<span class=\"style4000\">(163)<\/span> The historian of Lancashire thinks that this William, who is mentioned also in the Testa de Nevil, was the son of Robert de Waleton.<span class=\"style4000\">(164)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>III<\/strong>.\u2014Sir Richad de Winwick, about the beginning of Hen. III.&#8217;s reign, was witness to a charter of the third William de Lancaster; and Thomas de Elburg, the name next following his, was probably Thomas de Herbury or Arbury, the township which adjoins Winwick.<span class=\"style4000\">(165)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>IV<\/strong>.\u2014Alicia de Winwick, filia Willielmi de Winwick, in viduitate sua, about the year 1245, released to the Abbot of Dieulacresse her vilein Richard FitzAlen, with all his issue.<span class=\"style4000\">(166)<\/span> Although she had been married Alicia resumed her maiden name after her husband&#8217;s death.ft<\/p>\n<p><strong>V<\/strong>.\u2014Margaret de Winwick, probably another daughter of the above William, married Michael de Carleton, without licence, for which in 5 Hen. III. (1221) he paid a fine to the King. In 42 Hen. III. (1257) she died seized of ii. carucates of land in Thornton in Amounderness. In the same year Richard de Thornton, then of full age, was found to be her heir;<span class=\"style4000\">(167<\/span>) she is also called by her maiden name after her husband&#8217;s death. <span class=\"style4000\">(168)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>VI<\/strong>.\u2014Alice, daughter of Hugh de Winwick, married William, son of Adam de Lowton, towards the end of the reign of Hen. III- <span class=\"style4000\">(169)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>VII<\/strong>.\u2014Robert Fitz Gilbert de Wynewyk, about I259 gave Richd. le Boteler half an acre of land in Eccleston.<span class=\"style4000\">(170)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>VIII<\/strong>.\u2014Sir Peter de Winwick, who is mentioned in a charter of 1305 was admitted chaplain of the Haydoc chantry, 3 Kal. June 1330.<span class=\"style4000\">(171)<\/span> In 1293 he was styled Dominus Petrus capellanus parochialis de Winwick.<span class=\"style4000\">(172)<\/span> In 1299 he occurs as a witness to several charters<span class=\"style4000\">(173)<\/span> and in 6 Ed. III., 1333, Sir Gilbert de Hadyoc styles him Sir Piers de Winwick. <span class=\"style4000\">(174)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>IX<\/strong>.\u2014Walter de Winwick, who occurs as witness to a charter of Adam de Bredkirk, in or about the year 1311<span class=\"style4000\">(175)<\/span> is also witness to a deed of Henry de Lancaster.<span class=\"style4000\">(176)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>X<\/strong>.\u2014Richard and William de Winwick, were appointed by the sheriff of Lancashire his bailiffs to levy the wages of the knights of the shire in 15 Ed. Ill.<span class=\"style4000\">(177)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>XI<\/strong>.\u2014John, son of Robert le Taillour de Wyne-quik, was one of the men said to have been sent by Gilbert de Sutheworthe to the aid of Thomas Earl of Lancaster against the King in 15 Ed. II., 1322, for which offence Gilbert was indicted. <span class=\"style4000\">(178)<\/span> Fighting men, it seems, were to be found at Winwick in early times, and those Winwick men, who at a later time joined the Duke of Hamilton, were therefore only following an old example. In 9 Ed. II. (1315) this John Fitz Robert Cissor is a witness to one of the Lyme deeds, and a cast of his seal is in the Warrington Museum.<\/p>\n<p><strong>XII<\/strong>.\u2014Robert de Winwick was master of Peter House in Cambridge in 1330, but he was probably not of our Lancashire family, though a Robert Fitz Robert, calling himself in a deed of Sir Gilbert de Haydoc in 1340 Robert Fritz Robert de Wenike, certainly was so.<span class=\"style4000\">(179)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>XIII<\/strong>.\u2014Richard, son of Hugh and Alice de Winwick, occurs among the Boteler tenants in 1332.<\/p>\n<p><strong>XIV<\/strong>.\u2014John de Winwick was witness to a composition between the monks of Kirkby and the house of Burton Lazars.<span class=\"style4000\">(180)<\/span> But this John may have been of the other Winwick near to Burton Lazars.<\/p>\n<p><strong>XV<\/strong>.\u2014John de Winwick, who in 16 Ed. III. (1342) was instituted to St. Michael&#8217;s chapel, in Shrewsbury, in 1345 had letters of protection on going beyond sea on the King&#8217;s service.<span class=\"style4000\">(181)<\/span> In 1352 he became rector and dominus burgi de Wigan, when he set out and established a claim to all the borough liberties.<span class=\"style4000\">(182)<\/span> A long account of this John and several of his family, who was certainly a Lancashire man, will be found in the Lancashire Chantries and the corrigenda of that work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>XVI<\/strong>.\u2014Monsieur Richard de Winwick, who in 1362 was trustee for William Boteler of the advowson of Warrington, <span class=\"style4000\">(183)<\/span> was summoned as Richard de Winwick clericus, as a witness in the Scrope and Grosvenor controversy. He was afterwards canon of Lincoln, and he founded a chantry at Huyton for the repose of the soul of his brother, treasurer of St. Peter&#8217;s at York, who was buried at Huyton.<span class=\"style4000\">(184)<\/span> When canon of Lichfield he was sent by the Abbot of Vale Royal to Rome to obtain the consent of Pope Urban V. to the appropriation of a Welsh living.<span class=\"style4000\">(185)<\/span>&#8221; The John to whom he was heir was the John last before mentioned. On Wednesday before Holy Rood day, 15 Ric. II., Richard was a feoffee of the Molineux estates,(186) and in 7 Hen. IV. he was named by Mathew de Haydoc chaplain of the Winwick chantry to be his attorney.<\/p>\n<p><strong>XVII<\/strong>.\u2014Thomas Stanley, afterwards Sir Thomas Stanley, knight, the second son of Edward, third Earl of Derby, following a then common but most reprehensible practice, in 3 Elizabeth, 1563, took from the rector, with the bishop&#8217;s and patron&#8217;s consent, a lease of the rectory, glebe and tithes of Winwick, <span class=\"style4000\">(187)<\/span> for the term of ninety- nine years, at the yearly rent of \u00a3200. The lessee and not the rector seems then to have taken up his residence in the rectory, and he is mentioned in the Proceedings of the Lancashire Lieutenancy as still living there.<span class=\"style4000\">(188)<\/span> Sir Thomas, who married Margaret, the daughter of Sir George Vernon (the King of the Peak), was probably the same person who from 1562 to 1566 was governor of the Isle of Man, and who died on 18 Deer., 1576, at Walthamstow, and was buried there.<\/p>\n<p><strong>XVIII<\/strong>.\u2014Sir Edward Stanley, knight of the Bath, of Tonge Castle, in Shropshire, and of Eynsham, son and heir of Sir Thomas, seems like him to have made the rectory at Winwick his occasional residence.<span class=\"style4000\">(189)<\/span> Sir Edward married Lucy, daughter of Thomas Percy, Earl of Northumberland, who for engaging in the northern insurrection, was attainted of high treason, and executed on 22 August, 1572. Sir Edward was made a knight of the Bath by James I. at Greenwich on Sunday, 24 July, 1603<span class=\"style4000\">(190)<\/span> He died 16 June, 1632, and was buried at Eynsham. His wife died before him, and was buried at Walthamstow. Their only son Thomas, who had died an infant before them, was buried at Winwick, and their four daughters became the heirs. On the 29 June, 1586, another Sir Edward Stanley, uncle of the former, wrote a letter from his nephew&#8217;s house at Win-wick, asking his brother, the Earl of Derby, to use his good offices with the Archbishop of Canterbury, to appoint his friend John Kine one of the proctors of the Court of Arches.<span class=\"style4000\">(191)<\/span> Over the grave of the first Sir Edward is the following inscription :-\u2014<\/p>\n<p><em>Hie jacet corpus Edvardi Stanley, equitis balnei (filii Thomse, comitis Derby filii), obiit 18 June, 1632, aetatis sua? 69. Petronilla Stanley, filia posuit.<span class=\"style4000\">(192)<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>XIX<\/strong>.\u2014Sir John Fortescue, who had married Sir Edward&#8217;s daughter Harriet, was living at Winwick Hall in April, 1643.<\/p>\n<p><strong>XX<\/strong>.\u2014Thomas Brotherton, M.P. for Newton, son of Thomas Brotherton of the Inner Temple, in 1627 was living at the Hey in 1695. He adhered to the cause of the exiled monarch James II., and spoke frequently on his behalf in the House.<span class=\"style4000\">(193)<\/span> An ancestor of his of the same name, who was living at the Hey in the time of James I., had in his possession a MS. by Mr. Urmston on the state of religion in Lancashire in the time of Jas. I.<span class=\"style4000\">(194)<\/span> In consequence of some quarrel with Sir Peter Legh, one of Mr. Brotherton&#8217;s ancestors is called in the Legh MS. of 1465, &#8220;Jak of the Hey&#8217; <span class=\"style4000\">(195)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Another of the Brothertons, probably the member&#8217;s son Thomas, became a doctor of divinity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>XXI<\/strong>.\u2014Sir Phipps Hornby, the third son of the Reverend Geoffrey Hornby, a former rector of Winwick, entered the royal navy, and rose to distinction in the service. On the 13th March, 1811, he was in command of the frigate Volage in the squadron which encountered the combined fleets of France and Italy off the Island of Lissa, when the English, with an inferior force, obtained a great victory, and Captain Hornby secured the flag of the French ship, which struck to the Volage, and it was hung up in Winwick Church, where it still hangs. On his return home to Winwick, his neighbours, proud of the share their village hero had taken in the fight, welcomed him at a public dinner given under the Winwick broad oak, a remarkable tree, with a .round wide spreading top, where on the 26 Aug., 1811, a numerous party sat down to congratulate their friend and commemorate the occasion. Loyal toasts were drunk, and the following songs written for the occasion were sung:-<\/p>\n<p><strong>Winwick (written by Mr. Fitchett.)<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Tune, &#8221; Death of Abercrombie.&#8221; <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>1-<br \/>\nTow&#8217;rd the fair Isle of Lissa, her rocks to defend,<br \/>\nTheir fleet o&#8217;er the main France and Italy send ;<br \/>\nIn confident pride their flags beam on the day,<br \/>\nWhen England&#8217;s small squadron encounters their way :<br \/>\nThrice in number, the foe easy victory boast,<br \/>\n&#8220;But tho&#8217; few dare the combat, they&#8217;ll fight with a Hoste.<br \/>\n2-<br \/>\nSee the signal of glory streams lofty in air,<br \/>\n&#8221; Think on Nelson &#8220;\u2014enough\u2014England&#8217;s heroes prepare.<br \/>\nHark!
