Biography

William Holland died before 1323.3,4
In 1346-55 William de Holland was holding part of the tenement in Euxton, &c., formerly held by Robert Bussel; Feud. Aids, iii, 87. In 1378 it was his heir who was chargeable; Harl. MS. 2085, fol. 421, &c. In 1356 William de Holland was custodee of the land and heir of Robert son of Roger le Spenser of Euxton; Duchy of Lanc. Assize R. 5, m. 1, 9.

Adam de Holland was succeeded by his son Robert, (fn. 14) and he by William de Holland, (fn. 15) his son. In 1301 the king granted Robert 'de Euxton' (Holland of Euxton) a charter for a market every week on Tuesday, and a fair every year on the feast of St. Barnabas; also for free warren in his demesne lands of Euxton. (fn. 16) Here as in many other places Thomas Earl of Lancaster created a mesne manor in favour of Sir Robert de Holland, which was forfeited after the rebellion of 1322.

Thus in 1323 it was found that William de Holland had died holding certain lands, &c., in Euxton of Robert de Holland, which were then in the king's hands by reason of the forfeiture; the manor, demesne lands, and watermill were held of the king as of the fee of Penwortham in socage by suit at the six weeks' court at Lancaster and at the three weeks' court of the wapentake, and by a rent of 1lb. of cummin. Other lands were held of the master of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem in England by a rent of 6s. 2d. Robert, his son and heir, was eleven years of age. (fn. 17)

Fn 17 reads;

Inq. p.m. 17 Edw. II, no. 54. The whole was valued at about £12 a year. The Hospitallers' land comprised an inclosed hey, containing 30 acres of waste and 30 acres of wood. In addition to his Euxton estate William held lands also in Ulnes Walton, Ellel and Newsham.
The age of the heir and the remarriage of Joan, the widow, to William de Scargill appear from Cal. Close 1323-7, p. 361.
Sir Robert de Holland was said to hold three plough-lands in Euxton; Lansdowne MS. 559, fol. 23, quoted in Baines, Lancs. (ed. 1870), ii, 692.

Biography

Robert de Holland was born about 1312. He died before 1339.1
Robert son of William de Holland of Euxton appears in an Ellel plea in 1332; De Banco R. 288, m. 379. In 1327 and 1332 Margery de Holland was a contributor to the subsidy in Euxton; Lay Subs. R. 130, no. 5; Exch. Lay Subs. (Rec. Soc. Lancs. and Ches.), 53. Robert de Holland was in 1335 exempted from serving on assizes, &c.; Cal. Pat. 1334-8, p. 110. Robert son of Roger le Spenser, a minor, in 1337-8 claimed a free tenement in Euxton and Ellel against Robert de Holland and others, the latter asserting that the plaintiff's land was held by knights' service, and he was therefore in ward to Robert de Holland; Assize R. 1424, m. 10 d.; 1425, m. 5.
Robert seems to have come to a violent end shortly afterwards, for in 1339 two men were pardoned for their part in the death of Robert de Holland of Euxton; Cal. Pat. 1338-40, pp. 235-6.

From: 'Townships: Euxton', A History of the County of Lancaster: Volume 6 (1911), pp. 17-23.

Adam de Holland was succeeded by his son Robert, (fn. 14) and he by William de Holland, (fn. 15) his son. In 1301 the king granted Robert 'de Euxton' (Holland of Euxton) a charter for a market every week on Tuesday, and a fair every year on the feast of St. Barnabas; also for free warren in his demesne lands of Euxton. (fn. 16) Here as in many other places Thomas Earl of Lancaster created a mesne manor in favour of Sir Robert de Holland, which was forfeited after the rebellion of 1322. Thus in 1323 it was found that William de Holland had died holding certain lands, &c., in Euxton of Robert de Holland, which were then in the king's hands by reason of the forfeiture; the manor, demesne lands, and watermill were held of the king as of the fee of Penwortham in socage by suit at the six weeks' court at Lancaster and at the three weeks' court of the wapentake, and by a rent of 1lb. of cummin. Other lands were held of the master of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem in England by a rent of 6s. 2d. Robert, his son and heir, was eleven years of age. (fn. 17)

From: 'Townships: Euxton', A History of the County of Lancaster: Volume 6 (1911), pp. 17-23.

Robert de Holland (fn. 18) was succeeded by William, his brother, but ultimately by Joan the daughter of Robert. She married William de Molyneux (who died in 1358), son of the lord of Sefton, (fn. 20) their son Sir William de Molyneux succeeding to Euxton, in which his widow Agnes had dower after his death in 1372. (fn. 21) Down to 1729 the manor remained in the Molyneux family, (fn. 22) but was then sold, with lands in the township, and disappears from the records for nearly a century. It is stated to have been acquired by James Longworth of Liverpool, whose descendants afterwards sold it to William Ince Anderton of Euxton, (fn. 23) in whose family it has remained till the present time.
