Notizen zu dieser Person
Sir Cuthbert Clifton of Westby was the son of Thomas Clifton, a registered recusant. His mother was a Southworth of Samlesbury, another leading Catholic family. He negotiated the purchase of the great estate at Lytham from his Molyneux relatives involving a transfer of Clifton lands south of the Ribble. He got a good deal: 5,500 acres including a magnificent park and a fine manor house (which he rebuilt). He can be regarded as the founding father of the Cliftons of Lytham. Over the centuries, the Clifton family have played a full part in local and national affairs. They took their name from the township of Clifton with Salwick between Lytham and Preston, Lancashire. From earliest times, Cliftons were Knights of the Shire (MPs) and in more recent centuries the family has possessed two baronetcies, both of which died out. Being staunch Catholics in the turbulent post-reformation years led to both triumph and tragedy, including sequestration and subsequent restoration of the estates.
