  1. Radulphus had two brothers of whom there is documentary evidence, Edmund and William. The younger, William, was a minor at the time of his father's death. Edmund acquired some land at Erlay (Arley) and founded a branch of the family who became known as the Standishes of Arley. Radulphus's wife was named Cecilia. He only held the manor for six years, dying in 1296. No record of any sons who might have followed him has been found and on his death the manor was claimed for his brother, William, who was still a minor. In fact a certain Thomas le Waleys claimed wardship of the young man in 1298. Wardships could be very profitable for the guardian. However, if le Waleys got the wardship he did not enjoy it for long for in two years time William was in possession of the manor in his own right.

Name Variation   Radulphus Standish, Radulphus de Stanedis, First holder of the Manor of Standish
by Eleanor Johnson
With the marriage of Radulphus and Juliana, whose dowry gave them land and a name, we must say that the Standish family had begun. Ownership of land brings legal documents or deeds and now, from the beginning of the thirteenth century, the story of the Standish family can be followed.
One such deed records that in about year 1202 Siwardus de Dokesbury (Duxbury) and Hugh, his brother, granted some land in Burgh, near Chorley, to Radulphus de Stanedis, for which he paid a rent of two shillings. This amount was far different from modern values.
In the year 1206 Radulphus de Stanedis and Siward de Longetre made an agreement concerning the partition of the manors of Standish and Langtree and of the advowson of the church of Standish. The advowson apparently belonged to the manors jointly. (An advowson is the right of presentation or recommendation of a clergyman to a benefice in the church.) By this agreement Radulphus retained the ploughlands of Standish, 'common of wood and other easements' (i.e. use of wood and other land not one's own) and sixteen acres of 'assarted' land (i.e. cleared forest) on the south side of the church of Standish. In addition the two brothers-in-law divided the advowson between them and agreed to present new Rectors to the benefice of Standish alternately when vacancies occurred. It appears that the Rector of Standish at that date was the father of Radulphus and was named Leising.
The Standish name appears in further legal documents of the thirteenth century. In 1212 Thurstan Banastre held the land of the manors of Standish and Langtree as a 'mesne' (i.e. an intermediate tenancy) between the Baron of Penwortham and the immediate tenants who had now taken the names of Stanedis and Longetre. Thurstan Banastre held by the service or provision of one soar hawk (i.e. a hawk in it's first year). The Bussels of Penwortham transferred the Barony to Roger, Constable of Chester; and one deed shows that they offered the sum of one mark for an enquiry as to whether Radulphus de Stanedis was indicting them for larceny wrongfully, and by hatred and malice, or because he thought they were guilty. The Justiciar was to be informed as to the result of this enquiry, when Curia Regis (a feudal assembly of tenants-in-chief) would decide the case in lieu of the Court. Radulphus offered one mark for license to agree to this. Later the Bussel family bought a suit for slander against Radulphus.
The names of Radulpus de Stanedis and Siwardus de Longetre frequently appear together in these legal documents, as in one concerning the church at Flixton which has the words: "HNV tauers Rad. de Stanedis". A grant by Hugh Bussel, baron of Penwortham to Richard, son of Ughtred of North Meols, was witnessed by both men.


Spelling of names in the Middle Ages was often a matter of individual preference, and from the various deeds and from cases listed in the Calendars of Pleadings etc. we find that Standish was spelt in many different ways. The following is a selection of some of the variations: Stanedis, Stanidis, Standich, Stanedifshe, Stanedyfshe, Standifshe, Standyfshe, Stanedisse, Stanedich, Stanedisse, Stanedysshe, Standysche, Standifsh, and Stannedys, while Langtree is spelt Longetre, Longtre, Langtre, Langetre, Longere and Longeree. Theories as to how the names arose are also many and varied, but one of the most popular concerning Standish seems to be that it derives from 'stane' meaning stone in early English and 'dis' - lower regions, or 'disch' - a plate. One of the earliest seals depicts three tun dishes.
A deed of the early thirteenth century, but not dated, relates to the sale of land by Roger de Marashey or Marsey. It names the localities adjoining and including Standish in the forms Fanedisch (Standish), Longeree (Langtree), Sevington (Shevington), Chernoc (Charnock), Hedchernoc (Heath Charnock), Dokesbury (Duxbury) and Adelvington (Adlington). These were sold to Randle de Blundeville, Earl of Chester, who in the 13th year of the reign of Henry III (1228/9) received confirmation of his right to these lands and all other posessions between the Mersey and the Ribble.
Radulphus de Stanedis died in either 1219 or 1220 and should have been succeeded by his son Richard, but his younger son, Alexander, who by that time had become Rector of Standish, almost immediately succeeded him in the manor.

Name Variation   Radulphus de Standish, by Eleanor Johnson
In the same year that he inherited the manor, 1240, Radulphus de Standish joined with many of his neighbours in bringing a writ against William de Ferrers (who had acquired the Marsey overlordship by marriage) demanding that de Ferrers should acquit them of services, which were owing to John, Earl of Lincoln, who had become guardian of the land belonging to Penwortham and Leyland.
About the same time, Hugh, son of Gerald de Duleys (Douglas?) granted some land in Shevington to Radulphus. It is described as "beginning at the old ditch on the south side of my land of Duleys, thence to the cross and from the cross to the bridge of Sevyngton, then following that ditch to the said old ditch." He was also granted quit of pannage (the right to pasture swine) in the woods of Shevington at a rent of twopence yearly at Midsummer.
This Radulphus had three sons of whom any records exist, namely Edmund, Hugh and Jordan. These sons all succeeded in turn to the manor after the death of their father in 1246.
