Topic: Haigh, Greater Manchester


In the News (Fri 10 Oct 08)

  
  Haigh, Greater Manchester - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Haigh (pronounced "Hay") is a village next to the village of Aspull, on the outskirts of Wigan in Lancashire, (Greater Manchester), United Kingdom.
Early in 1365 Roger de Bradshagh of Westleigh demanded the manor of Haigh from William de Bradshagh and Sir Henry de Trafford, in virtue of the settlement of 1312.
Thus, ca 1787, the Haigh Hall manor passed to the Earls of Crawford and Balcarres and became the seat of Alexander Lindsay the 6th Earl of Balcarres and de jure the 23rd Earl of Crawford.

 Old Historic Families of Manchester and Lancashire 2
The Chorlton Family name is evident in areas of Manchester like Chorlton-cum-Hardy and Chorlton on Medlock and traces its history back to 1546, during the reign of Henry VIII when George Chorlton is reputed to have been awarded the family Coat of Arms.
On the death of Thomas Greddle, or Grelly, the eighth Baron of Manchester, (See Grelley Family) in 1347, the vast estates of the family passed, through the marriage of his sister Johanna with John de la Warre, into the hands of the de la Warre family.
Thomas was a priest in the parish of Ashton-under-Lyne from around 1371-72, and afterwards became rector at Manchester, though he did not inherit the title of Baron until the death of his elder brother John, who died childless in 1398.

 Carboniferous fossils from Lancashire   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The fossils include a diverse assemblage of plants, nonmarine bivalves, crustaceans, insects, arthropleurid fragments, a euthycarcinoid, xiphosurans, a whip scorpion, scorpion cuticle fragments, fish scales and coprolites.
The arthropods, with a greater diversity and abundance of aquatic taxa, and the non-marine bivalves suggest a brackish, fluvio-deltaic setting probably above the Haigh Yard Coal.
However, tabulation of the relative abundances of fossils is of limited palaeoecological value, since the data represent a combination of the original community structure, each groups' preservation potential and mixing of material from different stratigraphic horizons on the tip.
