I have met with no other reference to these mills [Soke Mills] till the reign of Edward VI., when Richard Charlsworth, of Totties, farmed them under the Crown, by which he greatly enriched himself. He died in 1557, leaving four daughters co-heiresses, who married into some of the leading families of the West-Riding, viz.:—1st, Grace Charlsworth married John Savile, of Wath, Gentleman, in 1568.* 2nd, Dorothy Charts worth married Matthew Wentworth, of Bretton Hall, Esquire, in 1571. 3rd, Margaret Charlsworth married, first, ___ Nettleton, to her second husband, George Kaye, of Woodsome, Esquire ; and 4th, Johanna — or, as stated in some of the pedigrees, Jennet Charlsworth — married Robert Allott, of Bentley Grange, son and heir of Robert Allott of the same place, who, besides lands and tenements in Holmfirth, which he received by his wife, acquired the tenancy of the soke mills, which remained with him till his death, about 1605
