But seeing no means of escape struck the said Rodwoode in self defence with the kuggeehull of no value to the left side of the head a blow from which he died 12 hours later on the said 21 Oct.

Colclough had charge and rule over the Kavanaghs bordering the River Barrow from St. Molyn’s or St. Mullins, the whole of which barony down to the south of the County he purchased from Thomas Wood in l555. He obtained Tintern on condition of fortifying it and protecting the south and south-west part of the County from the Irish rebels. Colclough was knighted in 1581-2 and his son Sir Thomas Colclough obtained the Duffry (Dubh-tir - the black land) which embraced an extensive district in the vicinity of Mount Leinster including what is now St. Mary's, Newtownbarry, Templeshanbo, and Killanne, right up to Enniscorthy whose inhabitants up to Queen Elizabeth's time paid only the inconsiderable rent of £40 a year for this large tract of country. Philip and Mary granted the Barony to Sir Nicholas Heron, Knight. Queen Elizabeth gave it in 1580 to Thomas Earl of Ormond, who assigned it to the celebrated soldier, Sir Henry Davells, from whom it passed to Sir Thomas Colclough, Knight, a branch of whose descendants resided at Duffry Hall within recent times. Colclough having obtained the Duffry was probably enabled by his mothers fortune to purchase, as he did, from the numerous Kavanaghs their portions of land up to the mountains, as Sir Henry Wallop was advised to do. The Irish having but a life interest would sell for next to nothing. Their deeds of sale were in Mr. Caesar Colclough's possession.

The chief share of the Burslem family property went to Mrs Catherine Egerton (only child of John Wedgwood and ultimately widow of Rowland Egerton) with her decease at an advanced age in January 1756. The Overhouse in Burslem where she lived and died became after the decay of Dale Hall the chief family residence. This was held from 1620 to 1657 by William Colclough who married Catherine the other daughter and co-heiress of Thomas Burslem but we believe this branch failed on the death of John Colclough the only som of William in 1665 and thereafter the Burslem settled estates descended wholly to the line of the Wedgwoods.

189 JW

1620

One of the daughters of Thomas Burslem married Gilbert Wedgwood, the other William Colclough. The latter gentlemen was a collateral branch of the ancient family of Colclough of the parish of Wolstanton; of which Sir Thomas Colclough, knight, Lord of the Manor of Hanley and owner of considerable property in this neighbourhood, was in 1620, the principle representative.

195 JW

1620

In 1623 Sir Thomas Colclough is described as one of the Churchwardens, or Re-builders, of part of Wolstanton Church He is first named along with Sir Rowland Cotton, Sir William Bower, Knights, Ralph Sneyd, Thomas Crumpton, Jun., John Brett Esq., and the other copyholders of the Manor of Newcastle-under-Lyme, as defendants in a suit commenced for James first by the Chancellor of the Buchy of Lancaster, of which notice will be taken hereafter. We believe his seat was at "Colclough" in Oldcott, a name still preserved in a house and estate of the late Mr Thomas Tunstall, the approach to which, from the Turnpike Road, is along Colclough Lane. The late Mr Turnstall who died in 1838, at the venerable age of 89, was accustomed to talk of Sir Thomas Colclough, and his coach and six black horses, as matters of tradition, received from his grandfather. Sir Thomas removed to Ireland and was buried at Tintern Abbey in the County of Wexford with great funeral pomp in 1624, aged 60 (see Brewsters Beauties of Ireland, Vol. 1. P.360). William Colclough who married Catherine Burslem was for many years seated at the Overhouse, Burslem part of the paternal property; he was constable of the Manor of Tunstall in 1620, and registered in 1657 as occupier of the Overhouse in the Churchwardens Roll of Burslem, and died there in 1662. His only son John died in 1665-6 and left by his will five pounds per annum to the poor of Burslem charged on part of his estate called Broadfields in the Parish of Wolstanton (Broadfield is contiguous of Colclough Lane. John Colclough of Broadfields was amerced for default at Turnstall Court 4 Jan.1. He might be the father of William or his eldest brother). Upon his decease without issue his Burslem estates passed to his second cousin Burslem Wedgwood.

There was many suites and cross-suites. The Baylys brought action against the Wedgwoods as trespassers and how the title was left after 20 years of litigation and 17 law suits we do not know; probably both sides were heartily sick of it. The COLCLOUGHS were an important North Staffordshire family. There was descended from a long line of M.P.’s and Mayors of Newcastle. The original seat was at COLCLOUGH in Oldcott in the parish of Wolstanton. The name of COLCLOUGH LANE still survives in the road from Goldenhill through Oldcott to Thursfield (Newchapel). In 1623 SIR THOMAS COLCLOUGH was one of the churchwardens and rebuilders of Wolstanton Parish Church. He was a considerable copyholder with Sir Rowland Cotton, Sir William Bowyer and others of the Manor of Newcastle under Lyme. The COLCLOUGHS were at one time Lords of the Manor of Hanley and Baronets of Tintern in the County of Wexford, they having obtained a grant of the dissolved Abbey of Tintern from Queen Elizabeth, in whose reign the main branch of the family migrated from Staffordshire to Ireland. Other branches of the family also dwelt at Delph House in Cheadle, at Biddulph, and Burslem. The Burslem Colclough branch acquired considerable properties Burslem of Burslem through the marriage of WILLIAM COLCLOUGH of Grays Inn, barrister at law, with Catherine, daughter and co-heiress of Thomas Burslem, a large landed proprietor of North Staffordshire, her sister and co-heiress Margaret married Gilbert Wedgwood in 1611. In 1640 RALPH COLCLOUGH, gent., married Marjorie Adams. The Colclough properties through lack of a male heir eventually came to the Wedgwoods so the latter family not only had the share of Burslem property through their ancestress Margaret Burslem, but also the COLCLOUGH share. According the Mr. J.C. Wedgwood in his history of the Wedgwood Family, JOHN COLCLOUGH Master Potter, another member of the Burslem branch, whose will is dated 1656 left Gilbert Wedgwood and his sons the bulk of his property including his potting instruments. The first introduction of the Wedgwoods to potting was through this JOHN COLCLOUGH about the foregoing date. (Footnote: George Ford, son-in-law of Nicholas Adams, benefited under the will dated 20 January 1666 of his cousin JOHN COLCLOUGH of Biddulph and Burslem.

AdamsP39.

1679

The property which Thomas Bayly had acquired in right of his wife Alice Adams, was important because of the mines, but after some years the litigation concerning it became very costly. The dispute was with the Wedgwoods, the heirs of the COLCLOUGHS and Burslems. The litigation which lasted for 20 years in the seventeenth century, was probably occasioned by overlapping titles, as was so often the case in enfranchised copyhold property. For the COLCLOUGHS estates in Burslem were hold, some in fee simple, some on 99 year leases, some from the Sneyds, lords of two-thirds of the Manor of Tunstall, and some from the Bowyer lease of the remaining third part of the Manor.... Thomas Bayly gent. & John Tellwright say that "they deny that JOHN COLCLOUGH was ever seised of the mines in fee". They have indeed heard of the lease from Sneyd to William Burslem of 30 July 17 James, but William Burslem allowed it to lapse by paying no rent and getting no coals- nor James Burslem after him. JOHN COLCLOUGH did get coals but defendants believe and doubt not to prove that though he (JOHN COLCLOUGH) was a great & rich man and very wise and had many friends and great friends and converted a great part of the coals so gotten to his own use, yet he compounded for the same with the owners of the lands where such coals were. And JOHN COLCLOUGH only devised to the complainants (Wedgwood and others, his interest in the lease of the mines, not the fee simple.

Blurton Chapel was rebuilt in 1626 at a cost of £26.14 - and gifts of material and team-work. In the middle ages this was a private chapel of the de Blurtons or Colcloughs who seemed to have possessed most of the land around the chapel, including the vicarage which was part of the first endowment, which endowment marks the beginning of the end of the Colcloughs close connection with Blurton though they still had some property there 100 years later, but thenceforward they are chiefly of Delph House, Cheadle, or Blurton, or Ireland. A document (prior to) refers to provision for the maintenance of the minister made by John Keeling whose sister Elizabeth and married George Colclough of Blurton. He was of the Inner Temple and so a barrister; he was uncle to Isaac Keeling Vicar of Wolstanton. George Colclough had a large family and got into difficulties; John Keeling, his brother-in-law became possessed by purchase of his estate and gave it in endowment of Blurton Chapel (deed of 28 Sept. drawn by John Keeling of the Inner Temple includes George Colclough as one of the trustees).
