De Lacey family
Yesterday I met a Mr de Lacey. He reacted to my telling him that I was aware of his family's connections with Hyndburn by telling me that he had traced his ancestry back to 900 AD. The family owned loads of land throughout the country as well as locally. There is a De Lacey Arms pub in Ribchester.
He has recently worked in Church, but I didn't ask where.
Few others will be able to get back as far as pre-Conquest with their family tree.
