Will
Date: 20 Apr 1466
Proved: 09 May 1467 York
Randolph Pigot of Clotherham, the testator, was the eldest son and heir of Geoffrey Pigot of that place, by Emma his wife, daughter and eventually heiress of Roger de Ledes, of North Hall, in Leeds, co. York, and grandson of Sir Randolph Pigot, of Melmerby, in the parish of Coverham, N. R. co York, who obtained the estate of Clotherham by marriage with Johanna, daughter and heiress of John de Clotherham, the last of that name, which had been settled there from the early part, at least, of the twelfth century. Their manor house was a large quadrangular building, situated in a sheltered holme by the side of the river Laver about a mile and a half west of Ripon; but it has long ago been rased to the ground, with the exception of a small fragment of a mossy wall, without any characteristies to define its age. About twenty-five years ago, I remember, however, a part of a gable cross being dug up here, which probably belonged to the chantry chapel of St. Mary, mentioned in the testator's will.

Sir Randolph, his grandfather, whose will has been printed by the Surtees Society, (Test. Ebor. i. 331.) died in 1404, leaving issue, besides Geoffrey above-mentioned, another son called John, whose will, dated in 1428, also appears in the same collection, (i. 416.)

This John was father of John Pigot of Ripon and Richard Pigot serjeant-at-law, legatees in the will of the present testator, who, at the time it was made, appears only to have had two children, Sir Geoffrey, his heir, and Johanna, wife of Sir John Norton of Norton Conyers. She died August 6th, 1488, and lies buried with her husband in the Norton chapel, in the parish church of Wath, near Ripon.

The will of Dame Margaret, widow of this Sir Geoffrey, will occur at a subsequent page. The Pigots were great benefactors to the fabric of the collegiate church of Ripon in the fifteenth century. None of their sepulchral memorials are now extant there ; but their arms, Sable, three mill-picks argent, occur on the north triforium of the choir, together with a shield bearing. Ermine, a fess, probably the arms of the benefactor's wife. The millpicks appear also on the choir screen, and on one of the pillars of the nave, above the arms of the borough of Ripon, commemorating, perhaps, in this instance, Randolph Pigot, wakeman, or chief magistrate of that place in the year 1171, although the work dates after the year 1512.—J. R. W.

On Dec 3rd, 1429, the dean and chapter of York granted an oratory to Ranulph Pigot, esq. lord of Helagh, and his wife and children, in the manor of Helagh, par. Masbam. (Reg. Cap. Ebor.)
