• “High Sheriff of Lancashire” 1710 - Robert Parker of Cuerden Hall
• “Cuerden Hall” is a country mansion in the village of Cuerden near Preston, Lancashire, England. The original house on the site, dating from the 17th century, no longer exists. The Charnock family of Charnock Richard, owned the estates until 1521, when Richard Charnock of Cuerden and Leyland sold his manor to Thomas Langton, Lord Newton. In 1605 Henry Banastre of Bank Hall bought the Cuerden Hall Estate from the Langton Family, (Barons of Newton-in-Makerfield). Henry's daughter Alice, wife of Sir Thomas Haggerston Bt, held ownership in 1641.[2] The present building dates from 1717 and was erected by Banastre Parker, son of Robert Parker, the former High Sheriff of Lancashire for 1710, when he moved the Parker family from Extwistle Hall. Upon his death in 1738 the estate passed to his son Robert Parker (1727–1779) and in turn to his grandchildren Banastre Parker (1758–1788) and Thomas
