Richard Wroe M.A.

  General Notes:

"In 1820 purchased patronage of Altham Church from Lord Howe and in 1823 presented the living to Rev. William Wood. He carried out considerable improvements and embellishments at Marsden Hall, including all the stone carvings, which must have entailed enormous expense. His initials may also be seen on the numerous buildings he erected on the Altham estate, notably that opposite the Greyhound at the foot of Whinney Hill in 1841. Mr.Walton was “ a typical country squire, a gentleman of the old school in dress and in manners, interested in the welfare of his tenant farmers, his house and purse always open to the poor)."
