In 1643 John Savile,
Earl of Sussex, the owner of Howley Hall (a mansion on the outskirts of
Batley) was prosecuted by the crown for surrendering the Hall to the
Parliamentary army. It
was alleged that his senior servants ‘entertained’ the troops at the
hall after the siege on 17 Jan 1642.
Accompanying the troops were “three of the Greatheads Source

| The
receiver of the tax for the city of York and the whole of the West Riding
was somebody called Joshua Greathead.
He was clearly one of the Greatheads of the Morley area because
Sheard tells us that on 29
August 1664 Edward Copley provided a bond for £1350 for
Greathead on his appointment as receiver.
It is not clear whether he was the Joshua Greathead Jnr
who paid tax for his 5 hearthsor whether he was this Jnr’s father. Greathead
was later accused of being in default for £1334 and the manor was seized
from Copley’s family, although it was later restored to them in 1687

1674 Hearth Tax for Scotton lists William Greatitt 1 Hearth, Robert
Greatitt 1 hearth, Luke Greatitt. They were probably brothers. One hearth
suggests they were probably poor. I remember seeing a Tithe map from this
period showing exactly which land in Scotton the Greatheads farmed
but I didnt take a copy. Might be worth checking at Northallerton Records
Office.
