Htntaat.




We shall begin the detail of this ancient
family with an extract from Nicholson and
Burn's History of the Antiquities of West-
morland and Cumberland.

" In Helsington there bath been a family
at Sizergh Hall, much more ancient than
any of the names of Bindlow or Bellingham,
as lords of the manor. Which family came
from Strickland, (or rather Stirkland,) which
was the pasture ground of the young cattle
(called stirks or steers) in the parish of Mor-
land, in this county, in which part they had
considerable possessions, as well as at Si-
zergh and other adjacent places, generally
holden under the barons of Kendal. It is
somewhat extraordinary, that amongst the
pedigrees of almost all the other ancient
families in this county we have met with no
satisfactory account of this family ; but the
indulgence of the late worthy owner of Si-



zergh Hall, Charles Strickland, esq. we have
been enabled to make out a regular and au-
thentic deduction of this family from the
clearest and most undeniable evidence, viz.
the family writings."

The first of the name of Strickland met with
is in the reign of King John, when Gilbert Fitz
Reinfred having been compelled, on account
of his involvement with the rebellious barons,
to give hostages for his future conduct, which
hostages were the sons, daughters, and heirs
of the principal mense lords holding under
the barons of Kendal, amongst whom was
the son and heir of Sir Walter de Stirk-
land. In the time of Hugh, bishop of Car-
lisle, who came to the see towards the be-
ginning of the reign of King Henry III.,
this Sir Walter had license to keep a do-
mestic chaplain in his family, within the
parish of Morland, so as it should be of no
prejudice to the mother church. Sir Walter
Stirkland granted to the church of St. Mary's,
York, and to the prior and monks of Weder-
hal (which was a cell of the said abbey) four
acres of land, in the territory of Stirkland
moulter free.

The son of this Sir Walter was

Adam de Stirkland, whose son,

Sir Robert de Stirkland, granted by

deed, dated at his manor of Great Stirkland,

on the eve of St. John the Baptist, 23rd

Henry III. to William his son, and Elizabeth,

STRICKLAND, OF SIZERGH.



daughter of Sir Ralph Deincourt, knt. on
their marriage, his whole manor of Great
Strickland. This Sir Ralph Deincourt had
an only son, Ralph, at whose decease, with-
out issue, the inheritance devolved upon the
above Elizabeth Stirkland. Sir Robert was
s. by his son,

Sir William de Strikeland, who, in the
4th Edward I. was under-sheriff of the
county of Westmorland. He confirmed in
the 20th Edward I. the grant made by his
great grandfather, to the abbot of St. Mary's,
York, and the monks of Wedeshal, and was
s. at his decease by his son,

Sir Walter de Strickland, who in the
28th Edward I. was with the king at the
siege of Carlaverok, and in the 1st and 6'th
of Edward II. was knight of the shire for
Westmorland. In the 15th of the same
reign, he was appointed sheriff of the county
of Westmorland. In two years afterwards
he was again knight of the same shire. In
the 9th of Edward III. Sir Walter obtained
a grant to inclose his wood and demesne
lands at Sizergh, and to make a park there,
and to hold the same so inclosed to him and
his heirs for ever.

This Sir Walter, on the marriage of his
son, Thomas, with Cecilia, daughter of Ro-
bert de Wells, settled the manor of Hack-
thorp and his lands in Overwinder, &c. on
the issue of that marriage, with remainder
to John and Ralph, his other two sons. He
appears to have had issue,
Thomas, his successor.
John, who was knight of the shire for
Westmorland 1st Edward III., and
to whom Sir Walter granted 7th of the
same reign, all his lands of Wlienfell,
with remainder to his son Thomas.
Ralph.
In the 17th Edward III. Sir Walter again
represented the county in parliament, and
was s. upon his demise by his eldest son,

Sir Thomas Strickland, who in the 35th
of Edward III. obtained a patent empower-
ing him to impark his woods at Helsington,
Levesnes, and Hackerthorp, containing three
hundred acres, for his good services done in
France. In the same year, Katharine de
Ross, daughter of Sir Thomas Strickland,
and widow of John de Ross, of Kendal Castle,
assigns over to her father (Sir Thomas) the
ward and marriage of her daughter, Eliza-
beth de Ross, who was afterwards married,
in the 8th Richard II., to Sir William del
Parr.



In the 36th Edward HI. there is an in-
denture of covenant between Sir Thomas
Strickland and Ranulph de Dacre, lord of
Gillesland, concerning the marriage of Wal-
ter, his son and heir, with Margaret de
Latham, niece of Ranulph. In four years
after, Sir Thomas made a settlement of
lands, at Siggeswick and Levens, upon his
younger sons, John, Peter, and Thomas, for
life, with remainder to his own right heirs.
Sir Thomas had a fifth son, William, who was
consecrated bishop of Carlisle, 24th August,
1400, and who d. at Rome in 1419.

Sir Thomas d. in 1377, and was s. by his
eldest son,

Sir Walter de Strickland. This gen-
tleman had no issue by his first wife, Mar-
garet de Latham. He espoused, secondly,
Isabella, daughter of John de Olney, which
John, in the 5th of Richard II., settled upon
the issue of that marriage a tenement in
London, known by the name of Great Place,
situate in the parish of St. Mary-at-Hill. In
the 14th of Richard II. Sir Walter was es-
cheater for the king on the inquisition post
mortem of Thomas de Ross, and, in four
years after, was a knight of the shire for
Westmorland. He was *. by his eldest
son,

Sir Thomas de Strickland, who in the
5th of Henry V. conveyed his whole estate
to trustees, that if he should die in his voy-
age to serve the king, they should enfeoff
Mabel his wife therein, during her widow-
hood ; and if she should die before his son
Walter should come of age, then they were
to receive the profits during his nonage,
delivering the same to William de Tunstale
and John de Wellington. In the 5th of
Henry VI. Sir Thomas entered into articles
of agreement with Nicholas de Crofte, esq.
wherein both parties become bound under
the penalty of £400. for the solemnization
of a marriage between Walter Strickland,
Sir Thomas's son and heir, with Douce,
daughter of the said Nicholas, when he the
said Nicholas should attain his fourteenth
year.

In the 7th Henry VI. Sir Thomas repre-
sented the county of Westmorland in par-
liament.

In the 9th of the same reign Sir Thomas
went to London, and joined the solemn
cavalcade that was to attend the young king
to Paris, in order to his coronation.

In the 10th Henry VI. Pope Eugenics
IV. granted to Sir Thomas, and Mabel, his

table altar, which Bull is yet extant, with
the seal of lead very fair, about the breadth
and somewhat more than double the thick-
ness of half-a-crown, with a cross on one
side, and underneath EvGENIVIS PPIIII.
On the reverse, two faces of venerable old
men, and above, the letters SPASPE. Sir
Thomas was ,?. by his son,

Walter Strickland, esq. In the 15th
Henry VI. this gentleman had a grant of
the office of keeper of the park of Calgarth.
In the next year the king appointed him
receiver general of all his rents in and about
Kendal, with a fee of £10 per annum, and
2*. per day when upon duty. And after-
wards, in lieu of these, the king granted to
him the pannager and herhage of the said
park, the fishing of Windermere, and all
his lands and tenements in the hamlets of
Applethwaite and Undermelbeck, for term
of life, he paying to the king five marks
yearly.

In the 18th of Henry VI. this Walter
released to the king the demand of one
thousand marks, due to the said Walter,
from the crown, for taking of Henry Talbot,
a most notorious traitor of our Lord Henry
V. late King of England, by virtue of the
proclamation of the said late king ; in con-
sideration of the king's granting to him the
office of master of the king's dogs called
Heirers.

Walter Strickland appears to have been
a zealous Lancastrian, and of the forces
he was enabled to raise, with their proper
habiliments, we have a muster roll* yet ex-
tant, which seems to have been made out
chiefly in respect of the border service.

In the 20th Henry VI. he was knight of
the shire for Westmorland, and in seven
years afterwards, according to the usage of
those times, he was retained by Richard,
Earl of Salisbury, to serve him in peace and
war. Upon the triumph of the house of
York, by the accession of Edward IV. we
find him obtaining a charter of pardon.

Parre, and his wife Elizabeth, one of
