• 1600. Feb. Bartholomew Hesketh, Esquire.
• This gentleman is described as the natural son of William Hesketh, and grandson of Sir Thomas Hesketh of Rufford. He was Lord of the Manor of Aughton and Uplitherland from 1575, having obtained it from the Scarisbricks in that year. Among the "List of Recusants in the "Countie of Lancaster," prepared by Bishop Downham, of Chester, in 1577, we find Bartholemew Hesketh, of Aughton, Gent., and his weif, being doughter to John Southworthe, Knt." This lady has already appeared in our notices of baptisms (1578), and evidently was his second wife. This "weif" seems to have given considerable trouble, insomuch that Downham's successor, Chaderton, receives notice from Sir Francis

• Walsingham, from London under date, 1584, May 2 That the Council, " having been informed of the lewd disposition of the wife of Bartholomew Hesketh, who doth much hurt in being at liberty to go where she likes, the Council wishes the Bishop to apprehend and commit her." She evidently went into hiding, for, according to Eland's "Annals of Southport," he states that Meols Hall appeared to have been a favourite hiding place for recusants ; and that members of the Hesketh family resided there during these turbulent times.
• At the General Levy of arms in 1574, Bartholomew Hesketh was ordered to find the following equipment : .... etc. ________________________

His eldest brother Bartholomew acquired the neighbouring Halsall estate from his mother’s family, but was disqualified from office by his Catholicism: described as a ‘busy recusant’ in 1577, he was included in 1592 among those ‘not seeming to be recusants, but discovered to be dangerous persons’, who were ordered to be committed to the custody of more reliable gentry pending indictment.25

• James Scarisbrick held Uplitherland for less than ten years, selling it to Gabriel son of Bartholomew Hesketh, who had already an estate in the parish. (fn. 29) In 1561 George and Gabriel Hesketh mortgaged the manor to Edward Halsall for £500, recovering part of the land two years later, (fn. 30) the manor being restored to Gabriel's son and heir Bartholomew in 1573. Gabriel Hesketh died 21 November, 1573, (fn. 31) and his holding is described in the subsequent inquisition as four messuages, land, &c. held of Henry Starkie of Aughton, by a rent of 3s. 2d.; other land in Aughton held of James Scarisbrick by a rent of 6s. 2d.; lands, &c. in Uplitherland held of the queen in socage by a rent of 4s. 3d. Bartholomew Hesketh was his son and heir, and twenty-nine years of age. (fn. 32)
• Soon after his father's death Bartholomew Hesketh was involved in disputes with his stepmother Elizabeth (fn. 33) and halfsisters. (fn. 34) Much more serious trouble fell upon the family through their adherence to the Roman Catholic religion. Among those who attended the ministrations of a Cistercian monk (Dominic Halsall) at North Meols Hall in 1577 were Mr. Bartholomew Hesketh of Aughton and his second wife Margaret, (fn. 35) daughter of a noteworthy victim of the persecution—Sir John Southworth. Mrs. Hesketh was at this time returned by the bishop of Chester as 'a busy recusant.' She acted so undisguisedly that in 1584 Walsingham wrote to the bishop of Chester touching her 'bad disposition,' and 'how she did much hurt in being at liberty to go (as she used to do) where she would among recusants and like persons.' (fn. 36) She was accordingly arrested at Meols Hall and confined in the New Fleet in Salford. The husband, though returned in 1590 as 'in some degree of conformity,' (fn. 37) was reported about the same time for having 'kept for sundry years now together one Gabriel Shaw to be his schoolmaster, which Shaw is most malicious against truehearted subjects.' (fn. 38)
• ¶Bartholomew Hesketh died in February, 1600, and was succeeded by his son Gabriel, (fn. 39) who died, outlawed, about the end of 1615. His widow Jane renounced executorship of his will on 8 December, and at an inquiry made in the following March an account was taken of his goods, which were seized to the king's use. (fn. 40) Gabriel's son Bartholomew was his heir, being about fifteen years of age. (fn. 41) In the civil war Bartholomew Hesketh (fn. 42) escaped any penalties until, upon some charge of 'delinquency,' his estate was seized at the beginning of 1652. (fn. 43)
