	John RADCLIFFE of Ordsall (Sir)
		A company of men-at-arms was raised near Ordsall, and despatched under the captaincy of Richard Radcliffe to the army of the Earl of Sussex, at York, marching forth to uphold their Queen and the realm, even against men of their own faith.
		He still maintained a private chapel in his hall at Ordsall, and regularly paid the fines imposed on all those who loyally accepted the supreme authority of the Queen in all things spiritual, but desired to be allowed to practice the old forms of worship.
		The inventory shows the value of live stock and goods at Ordsall then as £1468, for in addition to his public duties Sir John was a keen farmer and a practical agriculturist, and Anne was happiest in the quiet life of her homestead, surrounded by all that her husband had loved.

	John RADCLIFFE of Ordsall (Sir)
		Popular tradition in the neighbourhood of Ordsall, and the imagination of a famous novelist, have so generally ascribed to the Radcliffes a prominent part in the Gunpowder Plot that it would be appropriate, at this point, to discover what fragment of fact, if any, there is in this legend.
		Ordsall in 1605 was in possession of Sir John, the last Sir William, his grandfather, having died in 1568.
		The recusancy fines continued to be a heavy drain on the estate, and in 1613 Sir John conveyed to Adam Byrom of Salford, a leading merchant of the town, certain lands in Eccles and Salford for the term of thirteen years and eight months for the consideration of four hundred and four-score pounds.

		The new hall is typical of others built at that time in the North West, for example at Rufford Old Hall, and is certainly one of the largest, although the absence of a wall fireplace is unusual at this date.
		As at Rufford, the Hall is distinguished by an elaborate roof structure clearly displaying the skills of the carpenter who built the hall.
		The Stocks were almost certainly the last owners to live in the Hall for the two wings were probably occupied by tenants by 1700, the Stocks retaining for their own use the central section consisting of ‘a large hall, longe dineing room, a chapple, six rooms on a floor, with brewhouse, large courts, stable, etc.’
