The Allott family were established from the 16th century as gentleman farmers at Painthorpe and Crigglestone in the parish of Sandal Magna near Wakefield (Yorks WR). Edward Allott (d. 1721) married Rebecca Swallow, and through her acquired the advowson (patronage) of the vicarage of South Kirkby, a few miles to the east. Edward probably bequeathed this to his clergyman son, Robert Allott (1683-1738), who was presented to the living in 1728. Apart from a ten year period 1738-48, the family were thereafter vicars of the parish down to 1870. Robert's eldest son, Rev. James Allott (1723-56) married the only daughter of the Rev. Henry Green (d. 1738) of Hague Hall, South Kirkby, and through her the manor house of Hague Hall entered the Allott family. After James' early death, he was succeeded in the vicarage by his younger brother, Rev. John Allott (1734-1813) and at Hague Hall by his only surviving son, another James Allott (1754-1811). This James bequeathed the house to his cousin, the vicar's son, Capt. John Allott (1770-1824), and when he died the vicarage and house were reunited in the person of his younger brother, Rev. George Allott (1776-1848). George's heir survived him by only a few months, and Hague Hall then passed to his next surviving brother, who was a clergyman in Lincolnshire, while the vicarage of South Kirkby went to George's younger son, Rev. George Allott (1818-70). After 1849, the family let Hague Hall out, and in 1892 it was sold. The house survived only a couple of decades longer, being demolished as a result of mining subsidence in 1910. The family became established around Louth in Lincolnshire in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but do not seem to have acquired another country house.
The manor house of South Kirkby, although on a site a mile away from the village and rather nearer to Hemsworth. There was a medieval building on the site, first recorded in 1218, but this was replaced by a square three storey gabled 17th century house with a projecting full-height gabled porch on the entrance front. It was probably built for Nathaniel Birkhead, who seems to have bought the manor of South Kirkby in about 1620, or for his son-in-law, Edmund Watson, who inherited the estate in 1649. The house was assessed on ten hearths in 1666, showing that by then the house had been built. The fenestration was altered to sash windows in the 18th century, and the house was refurbished at a cost of over £1000 after it was sold in 1892 to Capt. Pepper.
However, from about 1904 the house began to be undermined by the workings of the nearby South Kirkby colliery; cracks began to appear in the walls and the window sills snapped in two. Capt. Pepper moved out in about 1905 and following a partial collapse in about 1910, work began on pulling it down. One corner of the house, complete with a huge chimney was however not taken down until after the First World War. Some of the fittings of the house were removed to other houses in the area; a 'fine wooden staircase', for example, is reputed to have gone to a house in Hemsworth.

DeleteI have checked this and you are quite right: they were married at Royston (Yorks WR), 1 December 1661. Could Jane have been his second wife?
DeleteWould you happen to have any more information on Eastfield House Louth please?
ReplyDeleteI am afraid I have not researched this. I note it has recently been used as offices for Lincolnshire's Social Services dept. and has been for sale: https://propertylink.estatesgazette.com/property-details/6165945-eastfield-house-eastfield-road-louth-ln11-7an

ReplyDeleteVenn suggests PC. Bolton upon Dearne to 1848 (and he is certainly in the 1835 Report of the Ecclesiastical Revenues Commission as being PC. there.
