Notes for SIR WILLIAM DE RADECLIVE, SHERIFF OF LANCASHIRE:
[The writer's twenty-fifth great grandfather.]
When Sir William came into his inheritance sometime prior to 1190, the family's land holdings and influence had grown considerably. Sir William's status was further enhanced by his marriage to Cecilia de Montbegon, Lady of Kirkland, whose family's vast properties had been granted to them by William the Conqueror. Sir William was appointed High Sheriff of the County of Lancashire in 1194 by King RICHARD, the Lionhearted, and was one of twelve Trust Knights of the shire.
Sir William rebuilt the manor house at Radclyffe, expanding it from what was probably the usual hall with one or two chambers and various outbuildings. The house was bounded on three sides by the Irwell River, making unnecessary the construction of a moat. Sir William had a fortified tower built of the local red sandstone from which Radclyffe took its name. Adjoining the hall, he caused a chapel to be built. Before the construction was finished, Lady Cecilia died, and in the Radeclive parish church Sir William founded a chantry for Masses to be said for the repose of her soul. In 1202 Sir William was acknowledged as having the right to appoint the priests of the church at Radeclive. Following Lady Cecilia's death, Sir William married Eugenia, who may have been a widow, or a ward of the King, for she paid 40d. to the King for lands that she owned in Salford Hundred.
In 1199 Sir William was involved in a dispute over lands in Hartshead that formed part of Lady Cecilia's dowry. The matter was resolved when Sir William recovered the land upon payment of 10 marks. Sir William was one of the "twelve trusty knights of the shire" appointed in 1212 for the Great Survey instituted to review the manorial values of Lancashire for reassessment.
