Additional:

It is stated that Thomas was 19 years old when he inherited Huncoat Hall on the death of his father John in 1617. He was a Royalist and a Catholic, and as a consequence, suffered severely during the time of the Civil War. He was fined and his estate sequestrated for not taking the Oath of Allegiance – see sequestration proceedings of Thomas Birtwistle in 1653 (ref Royalist Papers – Lancashire & Cheshire Records).

 

Following the sequestration he pleaded that he might be allowed to keep one-fifth of the land, so as to be able to maintain his wife and children. A contract for the sale of his land was in the hands of a mr. William Darlaston of London. However there is no record of this sale being completed, but by 1653, Thomas Birtwistle and his family were destitute.

 

Thomas must have survived these troubles and he recorded his pedigree at the visitation of William Dugdale in 1664. He had two sons who became priests and so it was his youngest son Joseph who inherited Huncoat Hall on his death in 1684. By this time the family must have been in considerable debt and, presumably, the Hall in a poor state of repair.
