Hebblethwaite
Hall
Hebblethwaite Hall is located in Cautley, Sedbergh,
Cumbria. Reference is made to the Mannor or Graunge of Hebblethwaite
and landes in Sedbergh, owned by Edward Middleton, in the will of Henry
Hebblethwaite, dated 27 June 1587. It is likely the hall was held by some
Monastery prior to the Reformation, possibly Jervaulx, which was known
to have had lands in Cautley. Furthermore, the term Grange indicates
that some or all of the land would have been worked by the monks themselves
rather than by Customary Tenants. Following the dissolution, it appears
that the manor was bought from the Crown by the Middletons of Middleton
Hall.
From Hebblethwaite Hall there arose the very ancient
Hebblethwaite Family. There are many early references to its members and,
as early as the Poll Tax of Richard II 1379, there are listed a Richardus
Hebletwayt et uxor and an Agnes de Hebletwayt. |
