The first mention of Hornes or Horners in the parish of Whalley is in the accounts
of Whalley Abbey. A John Horne had become a fugitive on account
of slaying a John of Newton in the monastery
[1]
. His goods were seized by the Abbot illegally,
which included, 8 ells of woollen cloth, value 15d, and 10 ells
of linen cloth value 6d, as well as livestock. This John Horne appears
to have been a weaver. After this fairly uncompromising start the
Horners of Grindleton seem to have led an exemplary life becoming
upholders of the establishment.
Leonard
Horner of Grindleton Eaves may have been related to George
Horner of Conistone, and Gawayne Horner of Linton
[2]
. It is no coincidence that their sons were named
Raffe or Ralph, which seems to be a popular name amongst
Horner families at this time
[2b]
. It is highly probable that Leonard was the son
of George Horner
[2a]
. If so, then Leonard was named after his maternal
grandfather or uncle Leonard Hebden. Whatever the connection, Leonard
moves his bride from Burnsall to Grindleton by 1595, and his line
continued to live in Grindleton until the nineteenth century. Leonard
married Dorothy Bayne in Burnsall and it is possible that
Dorothy was related to the Baynes of Thorpe, near Burnsall
[3]
. Dorothy’s brother Myles Bayne married Anne
Horner on 25 August 1619 in Rhylstone
[4]
. It
is not at present certain where Leonard originated from, but he
may have been christened in Wensley
[5]
. Leonard was buried in Waddington in 1641, at
a ripe old age
[6]
. His youngest daughter Elizabeth married George
Squires in Mitton parish in 1626
[6a]
. His youngest son George remained in Grindleton
and had four daughters, but only three survived, Margaret,
Dorothy and Jane
[7]
. George died in 1683
and was buried in Waddington
[8]
. George was a man of some status in Grindleton
and the Parish of Waddington as he was a churchwarden in 1673. George
also had property with at least two hearths in Grindleton in the
Hearth Tax of 1672. He appears to have first brought the lands in
Whittacres, Slaidburn to the Horner family in 1643
[9]
.
Richard
may also have had a another son John. A Johannes Horner of
Grindleton married Isabell Altham and had two children in Grindleton,
Margaret and Richard in the early eighteenth century
[57]
. He was buried on 24 October 1729 in Grindleton
[58]
. This John Horner, whitesmith, and
George Horner, husbandman, were trustees of the will of Thomas
Altham of Grindleton on 10 Aug. 1724
[59]
. This John Horner was a churchwarden 1752
[60]
.George Horner, yeoman was in receipt of £60 from
John Altham’s son Richard in May 1725
[61]
. The connection with the Althams may have
been a long one
[62]
.
R
Ralph's
only surviving son George Horner married Susan
Atkinson, in Giggleswick and
had at least two children, George and Ann
[34]
. However, George left no offspring,
both his children predeceasing him. George was one of the founding
members of the Presbyterian Church at Holden near Gisburn in 1777
[34a]
.. However, George left no offspring,
all his children predeceasing him. Mr. George
Horner of Whalley Abbey
had a son George buried in Waddington on 25 January 1800
[35]
. His daughter,
Ann Horner was buried in 1792
[36]
. . His
daughter Margaret Horner
of Duck Street Grindleton, died in 1804 and
her will was proved on 26 September 1804, her goods were valued
at less than £300
[56]
. She left goods to Isabella and and
Jane Altham
[56a]
. George Horner of Grindleton Gentleman
and Robert Hargreaves of Grindleton yeoman were her executors.
In
1783 his lands were surveyed
[39]
. George's lands were extensive. George
Horner of Whalley Abbey gained lands in Slaidburn from Thomas
Lister Parker of Browsholme in 1800
[45]
.
George swore an oath in the parliamentary elections of 1807 witnessing
the bailiff’s returns
[42]
. This indicates that George was a man of some
status in 1807. George owned the Stonehill estates
in 1807
[43]
. This George was a trustee of Waddington Hospital
[44]
. After George’s death the estate was inherited
by his nephew Ralph Horner Brown of Rathmell
[46]
This estate was quite extensive.
In
1672 a Ralph Horner had two properties with hearths taxed in the
Lady Day taxes
[67]
. Radulphus marries three times firstly to Izzabel
Shires, and thirdly to Alice, and has a very large family in the
second half of the seventeenth century
[68]
. His second wife Agneta Swinglehurst, daughter
of Richard Swinglehurst was very important in creating the
Horners of Grindletons’ fortunes
[69]
.
Radulphus Horner was a churchwarden in 1664 and in 1694-5
[70]
. He was buried in 1719
[71]
. Of Radulphus’ five daughters, only one died
in childhood, but three were named Isabella
[72]
. One Isabella married a Christopher Chippendale,
Susanna later married William Baldwin
[73]
. Of the five sons, only two survived to adulthood,
George and Richard
[74]
. George
Horner was the youngest surviving son. He married Marie Tomlinson
and had a family of four, but only two daughters and a son Ralph
survived
[75]
. George was also a churchwarden in Waddington
parish in 1712-13, 1729, and 1736. He died at the ripe old age
of seventy-nine in 1758 in Waddington
[76]
. George may have owned lands in Clitheroe
by 1745
[78]
. He
also held the manor of Slaidburn from 1719
[79]
. Of his son Radulphus, little else is
known apart from the fact that he was buried in Waddington in
1801 at the ripe old age of ninety

Copyhold and leasehold lands are mentioned and the procedure for handling these is mentioned as according to the custom of the Manor of Chatburn, Worston and Pendleton The will mentions John's wife Jennet, and his daughter Lettice and also Thomas Dugdale. Thomas Hayes was mentioned as a son in law and also George Horner as a son in law; he was the husband of John's daughter Jane. Witnesses were Richard Badger and Robert Slator. Thomas Hayes and Lettice Thornber were executors. From this it appears that John Thornber of Worston had three daughters, but only Lettice and Jane are mentioned by name. [41] Lettice Thornber, of Worston, spinster, proved 5 September 1796. Lettice had freehold and copyhold lands which went to Thomas Hayes the son of Thomas Hayes of Worston, to Jenny the widow of John Barton late of Chatburn, yeoman, and also to two of Jenny's daughters, Ann and Jennet. Joseph son of Thomas Hayes is also mentioned. The will was made on 5 March 1796 and the witnesses were John Holden and Abraham Hoult. A separate document shows that Thomas Hayes the elder, husbandman, and Richard Garthwaite, town clerk of Clitheroe had to swear before the Consistory Court of Chester on 1 September 1796 that various alterations to the will were made before it was signed. Thomas Hayes the elder was the sole executor.This will is easier to understand in the light of the will of John Thornber of Worston, who was Lettice's father From John's will we learned of three daughters but only Lettice and Jane were mentioned by name. Jenny might be the Jane Horner mentioned in 1772, in which case she must have outlived two husbands, George Horner and then John Barton. (I think this is a wrong solution.)Thus Lettice might have been the aunt of Thomas Hayes junior, Ann and Jennet Barton. [42] Municipal Borough of Clitheroe parliamentary Elections.
