• Background Information.
The mesne manor of Hincaster was held by the family of Gernet of the Burtons, as of their manor of Burton in Kendale, by the yearly service of 6s. 8d. After the termination of the male line of Burton the lordship of Hincaster was held in 1374 by Peter de Ros and Thomas de Stirkeland, and in 1426 by Walter de Stirkeland, son of Sir Thomas, the rent and service of John Roos of Greenhead having been reserved by the feoffees of Sir Thomas Stirkeland, who at that time settled the remainder of Hincaster on Walter de Stirkeland and Dowse his wife. Thomas Strikland, knt., died in 1496 in possession of the manor, which he held of Thomas Parr, esq., by the service of a red rose. Presumably the manor has descended in the posterity of Sir Thomas.
