Deans of Whalley Church Lancashire.

Spartlingus (according to Hulton Whalley Coucher) was
appointed first Dean of Whalley by Pontefract Priory
between 1109 and 1121.

Does anyone have information of the family that
Spartlingus was a member of?

According to the "Status de Blackbornshire" there was
a parish church at Whalley in Blagbornshire
constructed in honor of All Saints. Eventually there
were four parish churches in Blagbornshire. Each
rector held and possessed the land and township in
which the church was situated, as in right of his
church, and governed the church endowed as his own
patrimony, and substituted a successor from his sons
or friends, and requiring acceptance or institution by
the bishop of Lichfield; and the rectors of Whalley
and Blagborn were married men, and the lords of the
townships. And at Whalley they were called dean, not
parson."

So it would appear that Sparlingus was lord of the
township, a married man, and presumably possessed land
and property.

A possible link might be Roger Lascy Lord of
Blagbornshire? Any ideas?

Sincerely Yours,

Paul Bulkley
