Martholme
Martholme is a grade I listed medieval manor house standing on the banks of the River Calder from Great Harwood, Lancashire, England and north-east of Blackburn.
==History==
In the 13th century, the house belonged to the de Fitton family.〔 It was passed through marriage to the Hesketh family. Parts of the current building date from Medieval times.〔 Additions and alterations took place in 1561, when the gatehouse was rebuilt and 1607.〔
The house was rebuilt in 1577 by Thomas Hesketh (d. 1588), High Sheriff of Lancashire for 1563.〔 He added an east wing and a gatehouse.〔 Later work was carried out during the time of his son Robert Hesketh (d. 1620), High Sheriff in 1599 and MP for Lancashire in 1597, who added a second arched gateway.〔 After his death his last wife Jane married Sir Richard de Hoghton and left Martholme to be leased out to tenant farmers. With the death of Jane ownership passed to her son Thomas but the Heskeths never reoccupied the house itself. 〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 title= Martholme Manor House, Great Harwood ) 〕
After the Civil War the Hesketh family, as Catholics, were heavily fined, losing much of their land at Great Harwood. As a result Martholme was neglected. It is now a private residence but much of the house has been demolished. 〔 It has been designated a Grade I listed building by English Heritage.
