History

In the Middle Ages Chaddock was a hamlet, its hall surrounded by a few houses at the eastern extremity of Tyldesley. [1] Its name was recorded as Chaidok in 1332 and Cheidocke in 1586, the last component most probably means oak. A family of yeoman farmers with the same name occupied the estate for many centuries. [2]

Henry and Adam were recorded in 1332 and Thomas de Chaydok a free tenant, in 1350. In the 12th and 13th centuries the Chaddocks, like their neighbours, had a reputation for lawlessness. [3] Archers from Chaddock fought at Crécy in 1346 and at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415. [4] In 1360, William Chaddock was described as an archer on foot, "potens de corpore et bonis". [lower-alpha 1] Hugh Chaddock was a foot-archer drawing daily pay for service from 22 July to 21 October 1391. [5] In 1547 the sons of Hugh Chaddock were summoned for stealing Sir Robert Worsley's tame red deer. Thomas Chaddock graduated from Brasenose College, Oxford in 1692 and was vicar of Eccles in 1721. His only daughter Grace and her husband James Markland sold the estate to Samuel Clowes of Manchester. [2]

In 1782, the Duke of Bridgewater leased land at Chaddock and it was subsequently bought by Robert Haldane Bradshaw for the Bridgewater estates in 1810. The estate then covered 50 Cheshire acres, included were a pew at Leigh Parish Church, two at Astley Chapel and a smithy at Stirrup Brook. [6] Chaddock Pit on the estate was the largest coal mine in Tyldesley in the 1830s, it was probably sunk in the 18th century. [7] The hall is owned by Peel Group. [8] The derelict hall was gutted by fire in a suspected arson attack in December 2014. [9]

New Hall moated site is a scheduled monument in Tyldesley, Greater Manchester, England. It includes a moat and an island platform on which a modern house has been built. The island was the site of a medieval building. The moat measures between 20 and 30 metres across and is widest at the south west corner where the water soaks away to join a stream. The moat was revetted on the south side but the stonework is destroyed and is bridged on the same side by a modern stone bridge which replaced a timber structure. The rectangular island, measuring 60 metres by 40 metres, encloses an area of 0.25 hectares and is 0.4 metres above the surrounding land. Archaeological evidence of the medieval buildings will be present on the island and the moat will retain other environmental evidence. A ruined post-medieval farmhouse occupied a third of the island in 1983. The present modern buildings are excluded from the scheduling, although the ground beneath them is part of the schedule.
