Bob,my mate has come back to me after having a word with his relative Nigel Hargreaves; unfortunately Nigel is not related to the Hargreaves that were large land owners in the Accrington area. Nigel's Grandmother bought Within Grove Farm in Huncoat from another Hargreaves family whom he say's were large land owner's in the area at the time, possibly the same Hargreaves family that you were enquing about.
Sorry that I cannot be of any more help.Your's Taddy.
