Entwistle Hall, Entwistle, Lancashire, England - Early 20th Century Photogrph - source: The Entwistle Family by Bannister Grimshaw, 1924

The original hall (Old Living) is reputed to have been built in 1200 by Robert de Entwisle, around the time that Entwistle became a township in its own right. The present day hall (illustrated here circa early 20th century) was re-built in the 15th century. In 1657 it was divided into three separate dwellings, as it remains today.

He has researched all the village WW1 veterans (including several Entwistles) and has written a book based on his researches: “Our Boys”. His talk will be entitled: "Our Boys’ – how to research the impact of the Great War on a local community" Jonathan usually reports the BBC Radio and TV war stories around Armistice time and has been to the battle fields in France and Belgium for the BBC many times.

The Entwistle Family History Association (EFHA) is now (June 2003) through our secretary, Barbara Nightingale, a registered member of the Guild of One-Name Studies - Entwistle, Entwisle, Entwhistle. A one-name study is a project researching all occurrences of a surname, as opposed to a particular pedigree (ancestors of one person) or descendancy (descendants of one person or couple). Some "one-namers" may restrict their research geographically, perhaps to one country, but true one-namers collect all occurrences world-wide. The Guild only accepts true one-name studies for registration, although anyone with an interest in one-name studies is welcome to become a member. Send us your information on the Entwistles world-wide!
