Excerpt from An Abstract of the Records of the Manor Court of Turton: 1737-1850
The Manor of Turton assessed as one ploughland, was from the earliest record of it a member of the barony of Manchester. In 1212 it formed part - later called a fourth or an eighth part - of the composite knight's-fee held chiefly by Richard de Lathom, and appears to have been granted to one of the junior members of the Lathom family, who also received the Manor of Tarbock in Huyton. There was, however, a family using Turton as a surname. The manor descended with Tarbock until the beginning of the fifteenth century. John de Torbock, who died in 1420, left a daughter and heir, Elizabeth, who married William Orrell of Orrell, near Wigan, and a partition of the estates was made, Tarbock being secured by the heir male while Turton became the seat of the Orrells. The latter from time to time laid claim to the whole of the estates, but without success. Apart from these law-suits but little record of the family has survived. Ralph Orrell died at Turton on 24th July, 1533, holding the Manor of Turton of Sir Thomas West, Lord La Warre, as of his Manor of Manchester, the mesne lordship of Lathom having probably long been forgotten; the service was unknown to the jury but a rent of 18d. was payable. Ralph Orrell also held lands in Dalton and Wigan, and left as heir his son John, then twenty-five years of age. John Orrell died in 1581, and his son William made a feoffment of the Manor of Turton in that year.
