Gospatric de Samlesbury held the manor of Samlesbury at the latter end of the reign of Henry II, and his grandson, Sir William de Samlesbury, left three daughters and coheiresses, who conveyed the Estate to their husbands. Margery married Roger de Haunton, and appears to have had no issue. Cecily married Sir John d'Ewyas, before 43 Henry III, and had half of the Manor of Samlesbury; while the other moiety passed with Elizabeth, the youngest daughter, to Sir Robert de Holand of Hale.

Nicholas, the son or grandson of Sir John d'Ewyas and Cecil de Samlesbury, died without male issue, leaving a daughter married to Sir Gilbert de Southworth, and her portion of the Manor went to the Southworth's and continued in this family until 1677, when John Southworth, Esq. sold it and the old Hall to Thomas Braddyll Esq. for little more than £2,000.
