context_page_description: The Manor of Rivington was a manorial estate in Rivington, Lancashire, England that possibly predates the Domesday survey. Before 1212 the Pilkington family owned six oxgangs of land. Over time it became separated in moieties and by the 16th century the Pilkingtons of Rivington Hall owned a 5/8 share. In 1605 the Lathoms of Irlam owned a quarter share and the Shaws 1/8. The Pilkington portion passed to the Crompton family who in 1900 sold to William Hesketh Lever.
context_section_description: John Shaw married Elizabeth Haydock of High Bullough in Anglezarke, he was a defendant in litigation in 1507, 1528, and 1545 relating to the eighth part of the manor originally held by the Hultons. His grandson, John, married Katherine, sister of Bishop James Pilkington. Robert, son of Thomas Shaw, made a settlement of the eighth part of the manor and other lands in 1606. The Shaw portion was sold to John Risley in 1656 to raise funds for recovery from the English Civil War. Peter Shaw Junior bought back the estate in 1663, selling it some time later and buying it back from John Breres in 1671. The Shaw and Pilkington family are related, a further connection being through Alice, wife of Richard Pilkington and mother of James, Bishop of Durham.
  Peter Shaw and his son, Thomas, were in debt at the beginning of the 18th century and sold their estate to Hugh Willoughby, 12th Baron Willoughby of Parham. The estate passed to the 15th Baron. In 1765 on the death of Lord Willoughby the estate passed to his sisters, Elizabeth Shaw and Helena Roscoe. Some land in Rivington and Anglezarke was sold. Elizabeth Shaw died in 1787.
