GEOGRAPHY of BURROW WITH BURROW:
"This township has an area of 2,426 acres, 1) a large part of it lying in the level country bordering on the Lune, which forms the western boundary. To the east the country soon becomes hilly, and in the north-east corner attains 900 ft. above sea level on the side of Barbon Fell. Leek Beck runs down near the south-east border till the more level ground is reached, passing under Collen or Cowan Bridge, by which is Overtown, and then it goes south-west to join the Lune, thus dividing Over Burrow on the north from Nether Burrow on the south. The population in 1901 was 188.
"The principal roads are those from Lancaster and Settle to Kirkby Lonsdale coming from the south and south-east respectively and joining in Westmorland just beyond the northern boundary. A minor road branches off to the north-west from Nether Burrow to Overton and Leck. The Ingleton branch of the London and North-Western Railway crosses the township, and has a station called Kirkby Lonsdale a mile and a half from that town."
MANORS of BURROW:
"In 1066 Burrow was held in moieties, one part belonging to Earl Tostig as a member of his fee of Whittington and the other to Orm as part of Thornton in Lonsdale. The former portion was assessed as three plough-lands, and probably the latter was so too. Later they were granted to the Gernets as part of the forester's fee, (fn. 3) and were subdivided among younger branches of the family, one or more taking the local surname. (fn. 4) Richard de Burgh and Matthew de Burgh seem to have held Nether Burrow and Over Burrow respectively in 1252, and their descendants occur from time to time (fn. 5) down to 1370, when William de Tunstall acquired both manors, (fn. 6) which have since remained part of the fee or lordship of Thurland and Tunstall.

THE TUNSTALL FAMILY (http://genforum.genealogy.com/tunstall/messages/113.html):
"The earliest members of whom we have authentic information are William de Tunstall and his son Thomas who, on 5 November 1202, concorded at Lancaster regarding 100 acres of land, etc. in Cantsfield and Tunstall. The above named William de Tunstall had at least three sons and probably a fourth: 1. Thomas, son and heir;.... Returning to Thomas, we find he married Matilda, daughter of Acarias de Austwick and as stated above was a party to the fine of the year 1202 and also to one in 1208 in which his wife and her sisters and brothers were plaintiffs regarding rent and multure of six carucates of land in Farleton in Lonsdale and Cantsfield. He left a son and heir: John who had lawsuits in 1279 and 1285; he was chief lord of Tunstall in 1292. John served in the Scottish War in the retinue of John de Buteturte and died about the year 1315, leaving a son William and a widow Gundreda [66243] who remarried Roger [66225] son of Matthew de Burgh [66232]."Geographical Note: The 1851 publication, "History, Topography, and Directory, of Westmorland..." describes "Burrow with Burrow" as a "township" that "has two small villages, called Nether Burrow and Over Burrow, two miles S., of Kirkby Lonsdale."

Research Note: In 2015, some members of the BFO Research Committee suggested that John de Burgh (b.abt.1147) of Staffordshire and Westmorland, had a brother, Hamon de Burgh (b.abt.1145) who was of Ranton, Staffordshire, and a grandson, Hamo (or Hamon) de Burgh (b.abt.1222) who was of Burrow, Westmorland. It is known that later descendants of the Burghs or Broughs from Staffordshire and Westmorland--including those who lived in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire--displayed identical Arms (or shields) containing "five swans". Also, marriages have been documented between prominent individuals who lived in Westmorland and Staffordshire during medieval times--include the 1300's marriage of Ralph Neville--1st Earl of Westmorland, to Margaret Stafford--eldest daughter of Hugh Stafford who was the 2nd Earl of Stafford.
Research Note: The name of "John de Burgh" is based on family patronymics, which suggests that his given name may have been "John"--as his son was named "John de Burgh" and his grandson was named "John de Burgh the younger".

GEOGRAPHY of BURROW WITH BURROW:
"This township has an area of 2,426 acres, 1) a large part of it lying in the level country bordering on the Lune, which forms the western boundary. To the east the country soon becomes hilly, and in the north-east corner attains 900 ft. above sea level on the side of Barbon Fell. Leek Beck runs down near the south-east border till the more level ground is reached, passing under Collen or Cowan Bridge, by which is Overtown, and then it goes south-west to join the Lune, thus dividing Over Burrow on the north from Nether Burrow on the south. The population in 1901 was 188.
"The principal roads are those from Lancaster and Settle to Kirkby Lonsdale coming from the south and south-east respectively and joining in Westmorland just beyond the northern boundary. A minor road branches off to the north-west from Nether Burrow to Overton and Leck. The Ingleton branch of the London and North-Western Railway crosses the township, and has a station called Kirkby Lonsdale a mile and a half from that town."
MANORS of BURROW:
"In 1066 Burrow was held in moieties, one part belonging to Earl Tostig as a member of his fee of Whittington and the other to Orm as part of Thornton in Lonsdale. The former portion was assessed as three plough-lands, and probably the latter was so too. Later they were granted to the Gernets as part of the forester's fee, (fn. 3) and were subdivided among younger branches of the family, one or more taking the local surname. (fn. 4) Richard de Burgh and Matthew de Burgh seem to have held Nether Burrow and Over Burrow respectively in 1252, and their descendants occur from time to time (fn. 5) down to 1370, when William de Tunstall acquired both manors, (fn. 6) which have since remained part of the fee or lordship of Thurland and Tunstall.

"The early history of both the township of Brough and the family of Burgh is obscure and confused. All one can do is offer a conjectured reconstruction of the descent of the manor and the rise of the family. According to the sheriff's return for Brough in Kirkby's Inquest of 1287, the inquiry into tenancies in chief ordered by Edward I, there were seven carucates of arable land (approximately 700 acres) of which one was held by the abbey of Jervaulx and dix in divers fees held by Roald FitzRoald, hereditary constable of Richmond, who held of the earl of Richmond. Some [or five] of these undertenants can be identified. ...A third was a William son of John de Burgh. A fourth was a Thomas, son of Hamo de Burgh. ...In 1372 the Burgh family acquired the Marmion interest in Brough [which] included the suit of court of three free tenants. But it does not seem that this was the principal share of the manorial rights. This was gained by the first William de Burgh, by all indications a relatively new undertenant of Roald FitzRoald, from Richard de Larun shortly before Kirkby's inquest. It amounted to the capital messuage, or manor house (perhaps even then on the site of the present Hall) three tofts, all the meadows, the advowson of half the Hospital of St. Giles (the other half belonged to the Marmions), the suit of court of four free tenants and all Larun's villeinage rights and villeins. ...William de Burgh may thus have held a moiety [or part or half] of the manor in 1287...: on the other hand he had possession of only a small proportion of the land. Equal amounts seem to have been occupied by Thomas de Burgh, one presumes a kinsman, who was a free tenant of both William de Burgh and the Marmions, and by Stephen Maunsel who was also one of his free tenants. This situation was rectified in part in 1296 when William's son William purchased Maunsel's six tofts and six oxgangs (approximately 72 acres). But even so, when in 1301 a subsidy of a fifteenth of the value of the movable goods of the inhabitants of Brough was levied William was only one of the three richer of the elven taxpayers in the township. William was assessed at 8s. 9-1/2d. out of Brough's contribution of fifty shillings. The master of the Hospital was assessed at 9s. 9-3/4d. and Alexander de Burgh, one takes it the son of Thomas the son of Hamo, at 6s. 5-1/2d. Next in the list was Alan the Reeve, assessed at 1s. 8d. The master of the Hospital and the two Burghs were quite clearly the three wealthy inhabitants. ...The first reference in public records to Thomas son of Hamo of Burgh dates from 1268; the first reference to William son of John de Burgh from 1278. By 1300 their sons were established as the leading laymen resident in the township. But already by acquiring a moiety of the manor, the line of William de Burgh had established a pre-eminence which was to become a dominance before the end of the fourteenth century.
"The principal architect of the family's rise into the country gentry appears to have been Richard de Richmond. Richard was in reality the founder of a second family, for he was the husband of Elizabeth, the granddaughter of [William de Burgh] the taxpayer in 1301. In 1346 William de Burgh, the last male representative of the original line, settled the descent of 'the manor of Burgh and its appurtenances in Burgh and Thornburgh' on his daughter Elizabeth, Richard de Richmond her husband and the heirs of their bodies. These heirs adopted their mother's name. When William de Burgh died we do not know, but Richard must have been in possession by 1370 when he became active in the land market consolidating the Burgh holding in Brough itself and extending his property elsewhere. First of all in 1372 he acquired through part exchange and purchase the old Marmion holding in Brough, including its manorial rights. Secondly before 1378 he purchased all of the property of Roald de Burgh in Scorton, Hipswell and Brough itself. He had already in 1362 taken possession of Roald's property in Cleasby. Roald would appear to have been the descendant of Alexander de Burgh and was named as a free tenant in the deed which settled Brough in 1346. By these acquisitions Richard [de Richmond] brought the whole manor together, extended his arable lands in the township by some 150 acres, and removed the second Burgh line [of Hamo de Burgh and his descendants] from the scene."Geographical Note: The travel distance between Burrow, Westmorland--where John de Burgh was possibly born, and Brough near Catterick, Yorkshire--where he possibly died, is about 52 miles.

GEOGRAPHY of BURROW WITH BURROW:
"This township has an area of 2,426 acres, 1) a large part of it lying in the level country bordering on the Lune, which forms the western boundary. To the east the country soon becomes hilly, and in the north-east corner attains 900 ft. above sea level on the side of Barbon Fell. Leek Beck runs down near the south-east border till the more level ground is reached, passing under Collen or Cowan Bridge, by which is Overtown, and then it goes south-west to join the Lune, thus dividing Over Burrow on the north from Nether Burrow on the south. The population in 1901 was 188.
"The principal roads are those from Lancaster and Settle to Kirkby Lonsdale coming from the south and south-east respectively and joining in Westmorland just beyond the northern boundary. A minor road branches off to the north-west from Nether Burrow to Overton and Leck. The Ingleton branch of the London and North-Western Railway crosses the township, and has a station called Kirkby Lonsdale a mile and a half from that town."
MANORS of BURROW:
"In 1066 Burrow was held in moieties, one part belonging to Earl Tostig as a member of his fee of Whittington and the other to Orm as part of Thornton in Lonsdale. The former portion was assessed as three plough-lands, and probably the latter was so too. Later they were granted to the Gernets as part of the forester's fee, (fn. 3) and were subdivided among younger branches of the family, one or more taking the local surname. (fn. 4) Richard de Burgh and Matthew de Burgh seem to have held Nether Burrow and Over Burrow respectively in 1252, and their descendants occur from time to time (fn. 5) down to 1370, when William de Tunstall acquired both manors, (fn. 6) which have since remained part of the fee or lordship of Thurland and Tunstall.

GEOGRAPHY of BURROW WITH BURROW:
"This township has an area of 2,426 acres, 1) a large part of it lying in the level country bordering on the Lune, which forms the western boundary. To the east the country soon becomes hilly, and in the north-east corner attains 900 ft. above sea level on the side of Barbon Fell. Leek Beck runs down near the south-east border till the more level ground is reached, passing under Collen or Cowan Bridge, by which is Overtown, and then it goes south-west to join the Lune, thus dividing Over Burrow on the north from Nether Burrow on the south. The population in 1901 was 188.
"The principal roads are those from Lancaster and Settle to Kirkby Lonsdale coming from the south and south-east respectively and joining in Westmorland just beyond the northern boundary. A minor road branches off to the north-west from Nether Burrow to Overton and Leck. The Ingleton branch of the London and North-Western Railway crosses the township, and has a station called Kirkby Lonsdale a mile and a half from that town."
MANORS of BURROW:
"In 1066 Burrow was held in moieties, one part belonging to Earl Tostig as a member of his fee of Whittington and the other to Orm as part of Thornton in Lonsdale. The former portion was assessed as three plough-lands, and probably the latter was so too. Later they were granted to the Gernets as part of the forester's fee, (fn. 3) and were subdivided among younger branches of the family, one or more taking the local surname. (fn. 4) Richard de Burgh and Matthew de Burgh seem to have held Nether Burrow and Over Burrow respectively in 1252, and their descendants occur from time to time (fn. 5) down to 1370, when William de Tunstall acquired both manors, (fn. 6) which have since remained part of the fee or lordship of Thurland and Tunstall.

GEOGRAPHY of BURROW WITH BURROW:
"This township has an area of 2,426 acres, 1) a large part of it lying in the level country bordering on the Lune, which forms the western boundary. To the east the country soon becomes hilly, and in the north-east corner attains 900 ft. above sea level on the side of Barbon Fell. Leek Beck runs down near the south-east border till the more level ground is reached, passing under Collen or Cowan Bridge, by which is Overtown, and then it goes south-west to join the Lune, thus dividing Over Burrow on the north from Nether Burrow on the south. The population in 1901 was 188.
"The principal roads are those from Lancaster and Settle to Kirkby Lonsdale coming from the south and south-east respectively and joining in Westmorland just beyond the northern boundary. A minor road branches off to the north-west from Nether Burrow to Overton and Leck. The Ingleton branch of the London and North-Western Railway crosses the township, and has a station called Kirkby Lonsdale a mile and a half from that town."
MANORS of BURROW:
"In 1066 Burrow was held in moieties, one part belonging to Earl Tostig as a member of his fee of Whittington and the other to Orm as part of Thornton in Lonsdale. The former portion was assessed as three plough-lands, and probably the latter was so too. Later they were granted to the Gernets as part of the forester's fee, (fn. 3) and were subdivided among younger branches of the family, one or more taking the local surname. (fn. 4) Richard de Burgh and Matthew de Burgh seem to have held Nether Burrow and Over Burrow respectively in 1252, and their descendants occur from time to time (fn. 5) down to 1370, when William de Tunstall acquired both manors, (fn. 6) which have since remained part of the fee or lordship of Thurland and Tunstall.
