Always provided that the said Thomas, Robert, Richard, and
William (the representative burgesses) shall make and repair the said
mills at their own costs, taking sufficient structural timber for such
making and repairing as may be required from our parks of Toxteth
and Croxteth and our forest of Simonswood, by view and liberation
of our foresters there.
Crosse Deeds,

In 1399, the Duchy of Lancaster being united to the
Crown by the accession of Henry IV., leases of town
or mills were granted or renewed by the sovereign ;
and though in various renewals " our mills "
are
included, they are not specified. In 1410 another
allusion to lands juxta Euerstan milne occurs.
Katharine, widow of William Fil Adam, married,
secondly, Thomas del Crosse del Hough, of Wigan ;
and on his death settled her interest in the mill, in
141 2, upon her son by her first marriage, John de
Liverpool, junr. ; but eventually it passed to Richard
Crosse, her son by her second marriage, in whose
family it long
remained :—
