The manor of HAYDOCK was a
dependency or member of the fee of
Newton. The first distinct notice of
it is in 1168, when Orm de Haydock had paid two
out of the 10 marks due from him to the aid for
marrying the king's daughter. He granted land called Cayley
to the Hospitallers. His son
Alfred took a surname from
Ince, in which his demesne
lay; and Haydock was divided
between Hugh and William
de Haydock, who were in
possession in 1212.

in 1286 ten messuages, eight oxgangs and 4 acres of
land in Haydock and Bold were settled on Matthew
by his father, (fn. 15) and the moiety of the manor of
Haydock was granted in 1292. Some other acts
of Gilbert's are known; (fn. 17) he seems to have died
about 1300.
Matthew de Haydock lived till about 1322; a number of his charters are extant, showing that
he acquired fresh properties; one of these, in Walton
le Dale, he gave to his son Hugh. His son Gilbert
succeeded.

husband, Peter de Legh of Lyme in Cheshire.

Sefton, and her tomb is in Sefton Church.
