The Society has received an enquiry about Barthwayt (sic) Hall.
George Frobisher of Capernwray and Overkellet who died in 1917 (?) worked on the Frobisher family tree and stated that the two brothers, Frances and James Frobisher, were involved in a raid on Barthwayt Hall in 1534. John Frobisher has struggled over the years to find where this was and the nearest he has got is Barthwaite Hall which, he writes, is still standing and was a 17th century farmhouse and is now an hotel.
Mr Frobisher now lives in Torquay Devon. He would be grateful if anyone can throw any light on this subject. If anyone knows anything please would they contact me or David Buck <yas.secretary@gmail.com> to pass on details. Thanking you.
