Ralph Nothogh of Totyngton Hall. Son and heir of Charles. Born circa 1470 Ralph was witness to a grant made by Charles Nothogh of Nothogh Hall (his uncle?) to Henry Nothogh of Golynrode (his cousin?) in 1515.

Ralph died in 1530 holding two messuages, six oxgangs of land, and one third of sixty four acres called Roadland in Totyngton, with common pasture in Alden, and a messuage etc in Deardenfield. A messuage was a dwelling house with the adjacent buildings and curtilage and other adjoining lands used in connection with the household; an oxgang was the amount of land tillable by one ox in a ploughing season, typically around 15 acres. The total of Ralph’s holding therefore amounted to three houses with outbuildings and land, two of which were in Tottington (one being Tottington Hall itself), and one in Deardenfield (probably being in Haslingden where there is a road named Deardengate), plus about one hundred and eleven acres and a share in common pasture land in the Alden Valley.
