  About Orrell de Orrell
  General Notes: Lord of Orrell, Orrell of Orrell Hall.
  
  The Orrells or De Orrells, the ancient lords of the manor, dates so far back as to be almost lost in antiquity. Sir Reginald de Orrell had two sons who were at variance with each other mainly owing to the fact that the eldest, Ralph de Orrell was amongst the strongest supporters of Robert Orrell, Duke of Normandy, whilst Sigsmund, the Youngest, espoused the part of William Rufus, the robber of his brother's birthright. Ralph, like other supporters of Duke Robert, found the country too hot for him after his Royal Master's flight to Normandy, and of course he imitated him as soon as possible. Sir Reginald de Orrell died while Ralph was in Normandy, and left the bulk of his property, together with his title, to his eldest son Ralph. Whilst Lady Orrell had possession of her sons they were not avowed enemies, and it was only when the temptation arose by the absence of the elder brother and rightful heir in a foreign land that the thought first assumed the shape in the mind of Sigsmund to supplant his brother in the possession of the estate; and he went about it with the full determination that the Halls of Turton should never resound with the clank of the heavy boots of Ralph the Heir.
  
  Just a short copy of history on the Orrell Clan in Turton Towers.
  
  The ancient spelling of the name of Orrell was Horul 1212, Orel
  
  1292, Orhull 1294, Orul 1307.
