Standish family

This Norman-roots family has been settled in Lancashire from the Conquest of England in 1066.

The known history of the Standish family begins at the end of the twelfth century.

According to the English historian John Whitaker, Standish, anciently Stanedich, was one of the twelve considerable towns in the south of Lancashire.

Furthermore, it is not known whether the Standish family's progenitors gave their name to the parish, or received it from the castle.
