Text Appearing Before Image:
Lancashire 95 During Saxon times the county was divided into sixhundreds, viz., Lonsdale (north and south of the sands),Amounderness, Ley land, Blackburn, Sal ford, and WestDerby, all of which were treated as manors, having theirmanor-houses at West Derby, Warrington, Newton,Salford, Blackburn, and Leyland. The DomesdaySurvey mentions several classes of free tenants in someof these manors, viz., thanes, drenghs (these are found inNewton and Warrington), and radmanni and burgesses,all of whom had to pay suit and service to the King.
Text Appearing After Image:
Speeds Map of Lancashire, 1623 (reduced). The non-freemen there were bordars (small holders),neatherds, serfs, and villeins. The several hundreds wereagain sub-divided into smaller manors, of which in WestDerby alone there were sixty-five. To the Saxons wemay credit the building of several Lancashire churches,which, being in many cases endowed, ultimately becamebases of parishes, which were often identical with themanorial estates of the founders. There is strong presumptive evidence that pre-Normanchurches were erected in the following parishes (and, no 96 Lancashire doubt, others), viz., Kirkby Ireleth, near Cartmel,Lancaster, Tatham, Tunstall, Heysham (of which remainsare still visible), Halton, Preston, Kirkham, St. Michaels-on-Wyre, Poulton-le-Fylde, Garstang, Lytham, St. Marysat Whalley (where there are three Saxon crosses), St.Marys at Blackburn, Croston, Eccleston, Walton-on-the-Hill, Wigan, Winwick (here is the fragment of a Saxoncross), Warrington, Manchester, and Rochdale.
