In c. 1200, the manor of Lytham, the 'Lidun' of the Domesday Book, passed to the see of Durham, which housed a Prior, a few monks and their servants in their small priory. At the dissolution of Durham in 1540, the house and lands were taken by the crown and let to a sitting tenant, a Thomas Dannet. By 1597, the Manor was owned by Sir Richard Molyneux, who in 1606 sold it for £4,300 to Cuthbert Clifton of Westby, a relative by marriage. He pulled most of the medieval buildings and constructed a substantial new house in the Jacobean style. Not without difficulty and penalty, the Catholic Cliftons survived the Civil War and the various rebellions and by the middle of the 18th Century, their Fylde estates were large and they were people of consequence in the county. It was a time of improvement and rebuilding: in 1752, Thomas Clifton commissioned John Carr of York to plan and build a new house.
