Great Carleton was held by William son of Swain about 1200. He was suceeded by his brother Walter, whose son, William became a knight. In 1246, this William de Carleton, knight, called upon Robert de Stockport as nesne tenant to acquit him of the services demanded by William de Lancaster, including suit to the three weeks court at Carstang. He had to renew his plea ten years later, when Agnes de Lancaster revived the claim, and then Robert agreed to quit him Accordingling. Sir William was succeeded by a son named Walter living in 1281.
