Toponymy

Hollingworth was recorded Holisurde before 1059 and in 1086.[1] Its name is derived from the Old English holegn, for holly and worð an enclosure.[2] In 1059, Hollingworth was surrounded by dense forests.

Early history

An ancient pagan religious site known as Wedneshough Green was located in Hollingworth, A grassy knoll opposite the Gunn Inn was anciently called Wedenshaw or Woden's Hawe after the pagan god Woden.[3] The region was populated by Celts, the Pecsaetans a southern branch of the Brigantes. The group became a distinct ethnic tribe in the Mercian Kingdom of the West Angles.[4] The tribes living in the Longdendale Valley were pagans until around 627AD when the surrounding districts started converting to Christianity.[5]

Hollingworth was in the ancient Hundred of Hamestan before 1000 AD which is believed to be the ancient boundaries of the Pecsaetan tribesmen. After the Norman conquest in 1086, the Hundred of Hamestan was redefined and renamed the Hundred of Macclesfield.[6]

Manor

Hollingworth was an ancient manor governed by a local lord. Members of a single family, the Hollingsworths, were lords of the manor for more than 700 years. In this part of Cheshire, local lords assumed the name of their manor as their surname. Some were granted arms by the Earl of Chester.[7] The family's ancient arms are three holly leaves.[8][9]

In 1059 when the Saxons ruled Cheshire, Hollingworth was held by a freeman who owed his rights to his senior lord; Edwin the Earl of Chester. Edwin was the chief lord of all the manors in the Hamestan Hundred. He leased the manor of Hollingworth to a freeman and his descendants for an annual rent and military service. In 1059, Hollingworth had 30 acres of productive farmland. The Saxon freeman in possession of the manor was removed sometime before 1086 by the Normans.[10][11]

After the Norman conquest of England, Earl Edwin's lands were forfeited. The Domesday Book in 1086 shows that Hollingworth manor was barren and worthless.[12] Paul Howson and William Booth wrote that 'No population is recorded for the area covered by the later forest of Macclesfield or the Lordship of Longdendale ...'.[13] The Lordship of Longdendale was a term that came into common use around 1359, to describe a parcel of manors which includes Hollingworth.[14] The wholesale ejectment of the Saxons from manors in Longdendale appears to have specific to those lands under the control of Hugh Lupus, Earl of Chester. He replaced the Saxon freeman on the Cheshire side of Longdendale with Normans and Saxon farmers under the control of a local Saxon chieftain called Wulfric (pronounced Uluric). On the Derbyshire side of Longdendale, which was controlled by the king, many ancient Saxon families remained in control of their lands.



The Domesday Book shows that Hollingworth was held by the Earl of Chester with no local lord in control of the manor. The Saxon chieftain Wulfric managed manors in Longdendale on behalf of the Earl of Chester.[15] Heavily wooded and dangerous because of wolves in the forests, Hollingworth and the manors of Mottram, Matley, Tintwistle and Stayley appear to have been wilderness until 1211. By 1140 local farmers assumed the name of their manor as their surname. Sometime before 1211, a Norman knight of Saxon origins took up residence at Bucton Castle in Tintwistle.[16] Sir William De Neville (De NovaVilla), whose ancestor had fought with William the Conqueror in 1066 and loyal to the Norman of Earl of Chester[17] was installed as over-lord to manage the local lords in possession of Hollingworth, Wolley, Broadbottom, Hattersley, Wernet, Matley, Stayley, Mottram-in-Longdendale and Tintwistle.[18]

In 1211, William De Neville gave his son-in-law, Thomas de Burgh or Burgo, control of all the manors in Longdendale as the supreme over-lord. Around 1222, Thomas de Burgh took the neighbouring manor of Godley from Albinus and gave it to Adam, son of Reginald de Bredbury.[19] Witness to this deed was a 'Tomas de Holinwurthe'.[20]

The earliest recorded Hollingworths are Tomas de Holinwurthe circa 1222, 1246; and Henry de Holenwart in 1222.[21] The ancient manor of Hollingworth including the minor manors of Thorncliffe and Wolley was held by the de Holynworths of Hollingworth Hall by 'knight's service'. By 1359, the manor was owned by different scions of the Hollingworth family. Greater Hollingworth was owned by the senior branch living at Hollingworth Hall. Little Hollingworth was inherited by a younger brother who lived at Old Mottram Hall, he married the heiress to Matley Hall. A younger sister held a share of Thorncliffe manor, lsoa called Little Hollingwoth manor and was at Thorncliffe Hall in 1359.[22]

The ancient family of Hollingworth migrated to London, Lincoln, Maidestone in Kent and Dale Abbey in Derbyshire. A pedigree for the family shows they descended in a continuous male line from the Lords of Hollingworth to the present day.

Hollingworth Hall is no longer standing, but the family's chapel remains.

Motram Hall - Original face
Mottram Old Hall, Tameside

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mottram_Old_Hall,_Tameside

Mottram Old Hall is a Grade-II-listed[1] two-storey country house standing in a 6-hectare (15-acre) triangular park between Coach Lane and Old Hall Lane in Mottram in Longdendale, Greater Manchester, England.

The house was built in about 1825 in ashlar with a slate roof. Previously known as Ivydene, it incorporates a large rear wing built in 1727. The tree-lined drive to the main entrance has a mausoleum to one side.

Once owned by the Hollingworth family, it was renovated by the Hadfield family. It is still privately owned and not open to the public.

History

In 1800 Samuel Hadfield bought the original hall from the Hollingworths and on his death in 1807 left it to his nephew George, who died there. After George's death, his brother Samuel erected a statue of him at the hall but only the plaque survives. The hall, together with the Hadfield estate at Hadfield, passed after 1844 to George Woodhead, son of his George Hadfield's sister Martha. On his death and that of his sister Betsy Woodhead in 1861, both of whom were childless, the hall was inherited by John Wood of Arden Hall, Stockport. After passing through various other owners Mottram Old Hall was purchased in 1962 by Judge Philip Curtis.[2]

Motram Hall - Remodeled by the Hadfields

HOLLINGSWORTH HALL, HOLLINGWORTH, ENGLAND Hollingsworth Hall was probably built some time in the 1200's. The Hall was expanded in 1640 and remained much that way until it was demolished. It was noted in 1919, "the Hall contained an entrance hall, three entertaining rooms, six bedrooms (in addition to two servants' bedrooms), five spacious attics, large stone flagged kitchen, two larders, good pantry and scullery, two large cellars, separate bathroom and w.c. (water closet....or toilet). There were also three staircases. The main staircase was a very fine example in old oak." The first records found of a Hollingsworth owner is noted in George Ormerod's History of Cheshire, pub. 1819 and reprinted with additions by Thomas Helsby in 1882. According to this book, ".....John de Holynworth obtained from Henry Payn, chaplain, the manor of Holynworth cum pert. for his life, then to John his son and Ameria his wife, and their heirs." This purchase was made "19 Edward II" or around 1325/26. It remained in the Hollingsworth family until Jacob sold it in 1734 to Daniel Whittle. Captain Robert de Hollyngworthe purchased it in 1831 and lived there until his death in 1865. His brother, Dennis inherited Hollingsworth Manor and sold it in 1866 to Mr. John Taylor. Hollingsworth Manor was eventually sold to the Manchester Corporation Waterworks and unfortunately, Hollingsworth Hall was demolished in 1944. According to local history, the British Army wanted to house troops in the old Hall during WWII. The Hall was in somewhat disrepair and needed new wiring, plumbing, etc. and would have cost the Waterworks a lot of money to update it to be suitable for use as housing again. The Waterworks Committee voted to demolish it rather than spend the money.....I understand that it was demolished very quickly .....before it's demise could be protested. abt 1930 Cheshire, England Notes borrowed from cousin Carol Roth (a Hollingsworth decendent)
