Custodial history:
The Bagot family were active in the mining of coal in Worsley, Lancashire during the mid 19th century. However, the family appears to have originated in the Midlands as they are some papers that refer to Rugeley, Staffordshire and Pipe Hayes in Warwickshire. Early members of the family were vicars of the established church. The Bagots appear to have become involved in mining in 1862 when the Reverand Ralph Bagot of Pipe Hayes agreed to exchange mines with the Hon. Algernon Egerton of Worsley and mine coal at Mense Lea, Worsley. The family eventually set up a trust through which profits were channelled. They do not appear to have lived in the area, indeed towards the end of the 19th century they were still living in the West Midlands
Much of this material relates to all aspects of coal mining industry during this period. Towards the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th the family was involved in several court cases concerning disputes between the family and various parties such as the Earl of Ellesmere and Walter Bourke, engineer of Worsley Old Hall.
