  «b»Biography
  1180 Church St Leonard the Less
  St. Leonard the Less is a parish church believed built by Gospatrick in the late 12th Century during the reign of Henry II of England (1133-1189). Hewas the manorial lord, holding it in homage to the de Laceys.
  
  Cospatric is believed to have built St. Leonard's-the-Less as a chapel-of-ease for his family and dependents. The site was close to the ferry, a short distance from his home and, presumably, at the original centre of the population. It was first mentioned in a document of 1192 and in 1196 the graveyard was irregularly consecrated by two traveling bishops.
  
  The church was extensively rebuilt in 1558 and 1899. The church contains a Norman tub font, medieval bell and Sir Thomas Southworth's funerary armour (1546), besides a church chest, 2-decker pulpit and a complete set of box pews dating from the 17th and 18th centuries.
  
  «b»Samlesbury Hall
  «/b»Gospatrick de Samlesbury was the first recorded Lord of Samlesbury Estate, circa 1180.
  
  Samlesbury Hall, principal residence of the Southworth Family for much of the 14th-17th centuries, is a manor house built in 1325 which has been many things since then including a public house and girls' boarding school, but since 1925, when it was saved from being demolished for its timber, it has been administered by a registered charitable trust, the Samlesbury Hall Trust. This Grade I listed medieval manor house attracts over 50,000 visitors each year.

  "Manor SAMLESBURY was held in the latter half of the 12th century by Gospatric son of Swain in the gnage by the yearly service of 12s. It is by no means improbable that he was a younger son of Swain son of Leofwin, lord of part of Hindley about the middle of the 12th century. In addition to his manor of Samlesbury he held half the manor of Alston in Amounderness,and in Salford Hundred half the manors of Harwood and Sharples, estates which his son Roger held in 1212 after Gospatric's death. ..."
