History:

Descent of manor

The honour passed from the Lacy family to the Earls and Dukes of Lancaster and so to the Crown. In 1661 it was granted to General Monk, and descended to the Dukes of Buccleuch. In 1884 it was apportioned to Lord Henry Scott, second son of the fifth duke, who was soon afterwards created Lord Montagu of Beaulieu. He transferred the whole to the Clitheroe Estate Company, formed in 1898. The company held the lordship of the honor, with its lands, copyhold rents, mines, and all rights in 1925.
