=== Life Sketch ===
William de Lancaster II, son of William de Lancaster 1. (who is supposed to have been the first baron of Kendal), living 1170 - 1184, gave the three townships of Great Eccleston, Little Eccleston, and Larbrick, in Amounderness, to Richard de Morvill in marriage with his daughter, Avice de Lancastre. Their son William de Morvill died without issue, and in 1212 Richard Molyneux of
Sefton and William Blundell of Ince Blundell each held a moiety of Larbrick (12 bovates) under Gilbert Fitz Reinfred, 3rd baron of Kendal, sine media.
Two-thirds of Great Eccleston were held by Walter son of Swain, lord of Carleton, and the remaining third by Ralph de Eccleston. The whole township was two carucates. Little Eccleston, presumably one and a half carucate, was held by Geoffrey Arbalaster, lord of Hackensall and Preesall.
Avice daughter of Richard son of Roger granted 3 oxgangs of land to Richard son of Robert de Carleton at a rent of 9s
