Comment by Charles Matthews

Trying to verify the list of owners. [1] suggests that "Richard Charnock" round 1650 may be Robert Charnock, whose daughter Margaret was heiress and married Richard Brooke.

This is public domain text from [2]:

ASTLEY HALL is picturesquely situated by a small piece of water, but it is stated that much of its beauty was destroyed by the cutting down of some fine timber, which is always so great an ornament. The drawing room has a richly ornamented ceiling, and is fitted up with antique furniture. One of the apartments is still called Oliver Cromwell's Room, from his having slept there after the battle of Preston in 1648. The hall is spacious.

The house stands on the bank of the river Chor, from which the town of Chorley, about a mile distant, derives its name. The date of 1600 is carved on the oak timber in one of the walls, but part was much more ancient.

The estate at first belonged to the family of Charnock of Charnock, whose heiress brought it into that of Brooke, and from them it came, through their heiress, to the family of Townley Parker, as stated presently.

ROBERT CHARNOCK, ESQ., of Charnock, in the couuty of Lancaster, (the representative of a very ancient family, descended from Adam de Chernoc, of Chernoc and Astley, temp. Richard I.) married, in 1649, Alice, daughter of William Ffaringtou, Esq., of Worden, and had an only daughter and heiress,

MARGARET CHARNOCK, of Astley, who married Richard Brooke, Esq., second son of Sir Peter Brooke, of Mere, and was mother of

THOMAS BROOKE, ESQ., of Astley, who married, 1716, Margaret, daughter of Thomas Wharton, and had two sons, Richard Wharton Brooke, of Astley and Charnock, who died sine prole, and

PETER BROOKE, of Astley and Charnock, who married Susanna, daughter of James Crookhall [etc.] Charles Matthews (talk) 07:52, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wine auction

Not worthy of comment in the main article, but perhaps of interest to a passing researcher, might be a wine auction, by Messrs. Christie, Manson & Woods, on 1 June 1888, “The Property of G. N. R. Wetherall, Esq., of Astley Hall, Lancashire”, “Port … Shipped by Sandeman and Cockburn, and all bottled and laid down at Astley Hall, by Messrs. Challender, Blackfriars, Manchester, for the late Colonel M. Ross”. (My picture 19438.) JDAWiseman (talk) 09:32, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
