In 1527 the copyholder families of the Burnley area were allowed a certain quantity of free coal from the commons of Broadhead Moor.The amount allotted depended on the size of the copyhold lands held. James Bancroft of Palace House was allowed 22 fothers of free coal because he held 75 acres of land,including four farmsteads for which he paid an annual rent of 25 shillings to the Lord of the Manor. A fother was equal to 19 hundredweights,or just less than a ton. James Bancroft had a son called John. Peter Taylor	James Bancroft
4	The name Bancroft is uncommon in Lancashire but it appears in the early records of St Peter's Church in Burnley in the sixteenth century. But there is evidence that the Bancroft family had lived in the Burnley area from much earlier times. In 1368 Roger of Bancroft was accused of trespass by the chaplain of Burnley church. In 1425 Adam of Nacroft served on a special jury of the Halmot Court. The road between the towns of Burnley and Padiham climbs from the centre of Burnley to the township of Gannow and then turns north westwards towards what were then the Manor Houses of Ightenhill and Gawthorpe Hall,before descending to cross the river Calder at Padiham. Palace House stood on the south side of Burnley-Padiham Road about midway between the two towns. Place House was the home of the Bancroft family at the beginning of the sixteenth century. James Bancroft was born around the year 1540. He was the son of John Bancroft of Palace House.He grew up at Palace House and eventually inherited the family estate.

29	Ightenhill Park & Reedley Hallows, until about 1860, were in the parish of St.Mary Magdalene at Clitheroe. Baptisms & burials took place at neighbouring parishes, such as Burnley, Padiham or Colne but the marriages of couples, who both lived in Reedley or Ightenhill, took place at Clitheroe. The boundary of Reedley Hallows with Burnley has changed twice during the 19th century - first from "Duke Bar" to "Queensgate" and then to its present position. St.Andrew's Church (BUR.CE.05) was for a time in Reedley Hallows before the boundary was moved. 2 ADDR Ightenhill Park 3 ADR1 Ightenhill Park Scans of christening record,marriage record and burial record available 1 _TITLE Notes	John FLETCHER

38	Eppleton Colliery, the property of the Hetton Coal Company, Limited, consists of three pits. The Caroline, down-cast, was commenced in 1824, but after sinking a short distance, so much sand and water were met with that the project was condemned by the leading viewers of the day. Another effort was, however, made, and, after overcoming 22 fathoms of sand and a feeder of water, which made 1200 gallons per minute, the Main coal was reached, at a depth of 140 fathoms, on the 1st of August 1833. The Jane pit down-cast shaft was sunk in 1837. The New pit up-cast was commenced in April 1870, and finished in 1873. The shaft is 16 feet in diameter. There is a very powerful winding-engine at this shaft, capable of raising 150 tons per hour. The following seams are worked: the Main coal, at a depth of 140 fathoms, 6 feet in thickness; the Maudlin, 151 fathoms, feet 1 inch in thickness, at the shaft scarcely workable, owing to bands and splint ; but to the east becomes valuable and about 7 feet thick, separated from the Low Main by a band of about 8 inches, making a section of 11 feet 11 inches. The Low Main is unworkable. The Hutton is 174 fathoms deep, and 4 feet 8 inches in thickness at the shaft, tapering to 2 feet 11 inches at the extreme north and east points of the royalty. The pits are ventilated by furnaces and boiler fires, producing 300,000 cubic feet of air per minute. The number of men and boys employed under ground is 1100, above ground, 304. The output averages 3000 tons per day. Whellan's 1894 Directory of County Durham	George NEWTON

43	The Parish priest of the Catholic community in Houghton le Spring from 1833 to 1844 was Rev James Augustine McAvoy. Administrative History A Catholic mission was started at Houghton in 1831, with the first priest being Father Macevoy. At first mass was said in a hired room, but St Michael's Church was opened on 9 November 1837. Schools and a cemetery followed, on land adjacent to the church and presbytery, in 1842. From the National Archives	George NEWTON
44	The job of putter has considerable longevity in the history of mining. Primarily a coal mining term, it means someone who transports the coal or mineral away from the workings and out of the mine. In the early days, this meant taking baskets of coal called corves on sledges, and pulling them out of the mine. Later, when rails were used, the corves were mounted on bogeys (sets of wheels) and trammed out. Later still, metal tubs built on wheels were used. In each case, the putter was the man or boy who moveed the container. It does not include the process of getting the coal up a shaft (the job of the onsetter) and usually did not mean the deliver of the caol to the screens in a drift mine (the job of the banskman). In some cases, putting also meant the process of shovelling the coal or mineral into the container prior to transport. Putting requies more stamina but less strength than hewing. Therefore, boys were noramlly employed as putters, and they progressed to become hewers once they had developed the strength to so so.	James NEWTON

48	The name Tattersall is well known in East Lancashire. There is evidence that the Tattersall family have lived in the Burnley area since the Middle Ages.
