General notes
Duckworth Hall, which shows no evidence of its ancient state, has a recorded history of over 800 years. An early possesion of the Knights Hospitallers, as it is named in 1292.
The Duckworth family is thought to originate from here, as it is the earliest known seat of the family.
Roger Duckworth released his right in the Duckworth Hall Estates in 1327. The following year the Holdens (Adam Holden) acquired lands at Duckworth and it became attached to the Holden Hall Esate in Haslingden. The Radcliffes were also interested in Duckworth, but sold their share to the Holdens in 1546.
