Redman earlier connection to Twisleton

"The lordship of Twisleton, which can be traced back to the thirteenth century extended over Scales Moor and included much of Ingleton Fells. It is an area of moorland with scattered farms but the manor house itself was rebuilt in c.1717. Scar End farmhouse is listed as having 17th century origins and Twisleton Dale House is another early laithe-house. In 1565 Richard Shireburn of Stonyhurst bought the manor from William Redmayne.

In 1571 16 tenants were recorded. Following disputes with the tenants or husbandmen in 1625, the rights of the lordship were defined by Manorial Decree, recorded in detail in R.R.Balderston’s “Ingleton Bygone and Present” published c.1888. Richard Shireborne as Lord of the Manor held 90 acres of improved, enclosed land for his own use and 190 acres to be enclosed by the tenants as part of their holdings. This included Scarr Close and the Ellerbeck tenement. It is clearly the case that enclosure and the consequent improvement of land was making
rapid progress."
