In the Middle Ages Chaddock was a hamlet, its hall surrounded by a few houses at the eastern extremity of Tyldesley.
[a] Hugh Chaddock was a foot-archer drawing daily pay for service from 22 July to 21 October 1391.
[5] In 1547, the sons of Hugh Chaddock were summoned for stealing Sir Robert Worsley's tame red deer.
His only daughter Grace and her husband James Markland sold the estate to Samuel Clowes of Manchester.
The estate then covered 50 Cheshire acres, included were a pew at Leigh Parish Church, two at Astley Chapel and a smithy at Stirrup Brook.
