Roger de Lacy 
General Notes
In 1195, Roger de Lacy, Constable of Chester, inherited the great estates of Clitheroe and Pontefract. Sometime before his death in 1211 he granted land "in Tunleia" that was part of the estate of Clitheroe to the husband of one of his daughters. In the 14th century the land passed by marriage to the de la Leigh family. When they came to live at Towneley they also assumed the name of the place and Towneleys of Towneley were to live there for a further 500 years.
