History:

Descent of manor

In 1212 Goldborne was held of the baron of Makerfield as moieties; one moiety was held by the lord of Lowton, which reverted to the lords of Makerfield. The other moiety was held by the Goldborne family. It appears that one Goldborne heiress sold her right to Thurstan de Holland. His manor, known as Lightshaw, later passed by marriage to the Tyldesleys, and from them to the Kighleys of Inskip. The Kighley estates were inherited by the Cavendish family at the end of the 16th century. Lightshaw was purchased by Peter Legh of Lyme in 1738, but ceased to be referred to as a manor. The estate remained with the family, Lord Newton was named as lord of the manor in 1925.
