The Talbots of Bashall are recognized by genealogists as a branch of the high connected Norman stock, which has given to the peerage the earldoms of Shrewsbury and Talbot. Edmund de Lacy, who died in 1257, gave Thomas Talbot the land of Hudresfeld, It is believed that this Thomas Talbot was also given Bashall (orginally Beckshalgh) by Edmund de Lacy. Edmund, the king's son, Earl of Lancaster, was endowed with the lands taken from Edmund de Lacy, and this Edmund, the son of the King, again granted Bashall to this Thomas Talbot. Thomas died in the third of Edward I, and was succeeded by his son Edmund.
