Bretherton history
Toponymy
Bretherton derives from either the Old English brothor and tun or Norse brothir and means “farmstead of the brothers” It was first recorded in documents in 1190.
Manor
Bretherton, was part of the Penwortham fee and assessed as two plough-lands. It was given by the Bussels to Richard le Boteler of Amounderness, who made grants to Cockersand Abbey around 1200 and Lytham Priory. In 1242 the manor was held by six families of Richard Banastre, Walter de Hoole, Richard de Thorp, William de Brexes, Thomas de Gerstan and Simon del Pool. Over time these six parts were consolidated into two moieties held by different branches of the Banastres family. This branch of the family built or rebuilt Bank Hall in the Jacobean style in 1608.
