Administrative / biographical background:

In the early 14th century. Isabel de Bolton, daughter and co-heiress of John de Bolton, of Bolton and Middop, bowbearer of the forest of Bowland in the duchy of Lancaster, married John Lister, whose family thus acquired Middop, Rimington, Gisburn and Clitheroe.

 

The Listers of Middop and Thornton in Craven were a branch of the family of Lister, later Lords Kibblesdale (see MD234/335 Bradfer-Lawrence collection).

 

William Lister bought the manor of Thornton, including lands in Earby, Kelbrook and Hague, in 1556 from Henry earl of Rutland and John Manners.

 

Formerly these manors had passed through the families of Percy, Kyme, Muncey, Roos and Pilkington.

 

Thornton manor house was destroyed during the civil war and never rebuilt, although in 1646 Sir William Lister received compensation of £1500 for damage to his estate and the loss of his son Colonel William Lister who was killed fighting for the parliamentarians in 1642. Sir William fought at Marston Moor in 1644 and in 1645 was member of parliament for the West Riding and the city of York.

 

William, son of Colonel William Lister, married Martha, daughter of Stephen Bright of Carbrook and died without issue. The estate went next to William's brother Christopher, whose son, another Christopher, also died childless and devised his estate to Thomas, second son of his aunt Anne (Lister), wife of Sir John Kaye of Woodsome, on condition that he changed his name to Lister. This Sir Thomas Kaye (Lister) also died childless, devising the estate to his elder brother Sir Arthur Kaye and his male heirs, who in 1806 took the name Lister Kaye.
