  • Between 1431 and 1531, the son, grandson and great-grandson of Gwilym ap Griffith held the Penrhyn estate and added to it. They succeeded in allying themselves with prominent English houses, especially the Stanleys, which began with the marriage of Gwilym ap Griffith with Joan Stanley of Hooton. Gwilym Fychan, the son of that marriage, married before 1447, Ales daughter and heiress of Sir Richard Dalton of Althorp, Northants. The marriage reflects the Stanley connection, as Ales Dalton was the granddaughter of Isabel de Pilkington by her second marriage, whose daughter by Thomas de Lathom, her first husband, brought Lathom and Knowsley to the Stanleys. Gwilym Fychan married secondly, Gwenllian, daughter of Iorwerth ap David. Robert, his eldest son by this marriage, was the ancestor of the family of Griffith of Plas Newydd, Anglesey, and Llanfair-is-gaer, Caernarvonshire. Edmund the second son founded the estate of Carreg-lwyd, Anglesey. His son and heir from his first marriage was William Griffith (ca.1445-1505/6). He is not always easy to distinguish in the documents from his father. He married firstly Joan Troutbeck, widow of Sir William Butler of Bewsey, Cheshire, whose mother was Margaret, daughter of Sir Thomas Stanley, first Baron Stanley.

Isabel Pilkington was born in 1334 in Knowsley, Lancashire. She died Oct 20 1414. She married Sir John Dalton II.

The history of the Pilkington family:

The descent of the Pilkington family can be traced from Leonard de Pilkington, Lord of the Manor of Pilkington, who fought under Harold at the Battle of Hastings. After his victory, Norman William divided large tracts of Britain amongst his many followers and the ownership of a vast estate in south-east Lancashire (including the area now occupied by Whitefield) was confined upon Sir Leonard de Pilkington. How he persuaded William I to allow him to keep his manor is unknown.

Having acquired this new and highly desirable property this first Knight set about turning it to some practical use and created a Park which bore his own name. This park included more land than is, at present, covered by Whitefield U.D., and took in considerable tracts from what are now the towns of Radcliffe and Heywood as well as further land, now the Unsworth area of Bury. It was at Stand, the highest point in this Park (the name 'Stand' is derived from a hunting stand, from which the country could be scanned for game), that Sir Leonard built his manorial hall.

At least two of his descendants took part in the Crusades and journeyed to the Holy Land, but this co-operation with the ideas of the Monarchy did not last and, in 1322, Sir Roger de Pilkington was taken prisoner at the Battle of Boroughbridge by the forces of Edward II. He was, however, pardoned, and further Pilkington's (Sir John with his son John) earned their house a return to Royal favour by courageous conduct at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, fighting under Henry V, and, by contributing, heavily, to the Royal Exchequer. (See next)

One of his descendants, Sir John Pilkington, with his son John and their retainers went to France with Henry V and fought at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415. At Agincourt the retinue of Sir John was John Kay, Roger Kay and William Lee. His men consisted of ten lances and forty-five archers. In order to pay his troops Henry 'Pledged’ some of his jewels and plate to the younger John Pilkington. They were not redeemed until 1431.

Some time later the Pilkington family came into possession of the Manor of Bury, after which Bury became the principal residence of the family. Bury Castle was fortified and castellated in the reign or Edward IV. It has been stated that Edward also gave a license to Sir Thoman Pilkington to kernel and castellate his manor house at Stand, but it is doubtful if the work was carried out.

Sir Thomas Pilkington fought for Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field where Richard was killed and his opponent, Henry Tudor became king. As a result, Henry VII confiscated all Sir Thomas's lands and gave them to Sir Thomas Stanley, whom he created Earl of Derby, The property included land at Nether Kellet, Haleworth, Saimesbury, Pilkington, Bury, Cheethatn, Cheetwood, Haliwell, Undesworth (Unsworth), Salford, Shuttleworth, Middleton, Shippelbotham, Smethills, Tottington, Bolton in Furness, Broughton-in-Furness, Urswick and elsewhere. Sir Thomas's lands were therefore extensive and well spread.

Harland says that Sir Thomas Pilkington was killed whilst fighting for Lambert Sirnnel at the Battle of Stoke. On the other hand, the Victoria County History of Lancashire states that he was not killed there and that he was pardoned in 1506; but this seems unlikely as it is stated that his son Roger died in 1501 and that Roger had no son so what was left of his estate was divided between Roger's six daughters. It seems probable that Sir Thomas was at Urswick when he joined Simnel, for Simnel landed at Piel Castle in Furness and rallied his forces on Swarthmoor, which is not far from Urswick.

The11th century Stand Hall was family seat of the de Pilkington family who have lived here since before the battle of Hastings. A second Stand Hall was built around the 13th century by the Derby family, who were given the estate after Henry VII confiscated the Pilkington lands, this second hall was demolished in the 1940's. This was due to Sire Thomas Pilkington backing the wrong side at the Battle of Bosworth. This second hall was located to the east of the original hall. In 1515 a third Stand Hall was erected.

The Pilkington's of Lancaster.

The Pilkingtons were lords of Bury and Pilkington (hence the de Pilkington in the older records) The family started at Pilkington, by marriage attained the lordship of Bury, and later, by marriage, got the lands at Rivington (all these sites are basically north of current Bolton, England)....

In the 1400's they gave the major lands to the first son at Bury and Pilkington, a younger son got the lands and lordship of Rivington, while another generation saw a Pilkington heir receiving lands in Yorkshire.

The Rivington branch brought forth the first Protestant Bishop of North England, Sir James Pilkington, Bishop of Durham, who advised Queen Elizabeth I. The Pilkington estates in Pilkington, and the "castle" a fortified manor house estate at Bury, were destroyed and seized after the English Civil War, because the Pilkington's supported the "wrong side."

The Pilkington's of Rivington continued in their possession of their holdings, perhaps because they were Protestant, or because their land was less valuable.
