* The family of Rachdale, probably the descendants of Gamel the Saxon thane, were lords of the manor of Rochdale soon after the Conquest, and were succeeded by the Elands of Eland, in the county of York, in whose chapel of Eland the shield of Rachdale (sable, an inescucheon within an orb of martlets, argent) was anciently blazoned, as a memorial of Eland's descent from Rachdale. In 7 or 8 Henry III., 1223 or 1224, John de Eland and John de Lascy were joint lords of Rochdale.

t Milne-house in Hundersfield occurs in a deed of the time of Queen Mary, (1554,) and long anterior to that period a family of the same name was the owner. The house is now unknown.

+ John de Blackburn, vicar, and Adam his brother, were living in 1250.
