• Background Information. ⁷⁵⁵
In the 12th century, if not earlier, Standish and Langtree were members of the Penwortham barony, and Richard Bussel, lord of Penwortham from about 1150 to 1164 [V.C.H. Lancs. i, 337], gave them to Richard Spileman, who had married the grantor's sister. They were assessed as one plough-land each. In 1212 Thurstan Banastre held them by the service of a sore hawk annually [Lancs. Inq. and Extents (Rec. Soc. Lancs. and Ches.), i, 31]. The Banastre lordship, which appears to be that held later by William de Ferrers Earl of Derby, and then by 'the lords of Leylandshire,' [Inq. and Extents, i, 29.] was a mesne between the lord of Penwortham and the immediate tenants, who adopted the local surnames-Standish and Langtree-and are supposed to have descended from Richard Spileman, having perhaps married his daughters and co-heirs.
