• Background Information: 775
The earliest lord on record after the Conquest appears to have been one Waldeve, [1] whose son Richard, [2] dead in 1198, was succeeded by a son William, [3] sometimes called Sir William. [4] William son of Richard de Tatham was in 1212 found to hold the two plough-lands in Tatham and Ireby, but several small alienations had been made. [5] King John while Count of Mortain had granted 18s. 8d. rent, viz. the service of William de Tatham for Tatham and Ireby, to Roger de Montbegon, [6] and in 1222 Henry III ordered inquiry to be made as to the tenure. [7]


[1] Waldeve son of Edmund gave land in Newby in Clapham to Furness Abbey [Dep. Keeper's Rep. xxxvi, App. 181]. The full descent will be found in Assize R. 1042, m. 17, thus: Etheyn -s. Edmund -s. Waldeve -s. Richard -s. William de Tatham, living 1230.

[2] In 1181 Richard son of Waldeve complained that certain of his men asserted they were free when they were not so [Farrer, Lancs. Pipe R. 45].

[3] In 1197-8 Adam de Lancaster paid the Ł10 he owed the king for having the wardship of the heir of Richard son of Waldeve [Farrer, Lancs. Pipe R. 102]. In 1206 William son of Richard had livery of his inheritance; Adam the Dean (of Lancaster) had had the wardship [Rot. de Oblatis et Fin. (Rec. Com.), 352].

[4] [Cockersand Chartul. (Chet. Soc.), iii, 932].

[5] [Lancs. Inq. and Extents (Rec. Soc. Lancs. and Ches.), i, 97] The service is given as 28s. instead of 18s. Five grants are recorded: two by William's 'ancestor,' and three by the ancestor's son William.

[6] [Rot. Lit. Claus. (Rec. Com.), i, 215b] A confirmation granted in 1215. William de Tatham was then the tenant, but his father Richard probably held at the time of the original grant. In 1213-15 Roger de Montbegon paid 37s. 4d. (two years' rent) as the service of William de Tatham [Farrer, op. cit. 249].

[7] [ Rot. Lit. Claus. i, 509b]
