Henry Ferror was of Midgley township, Halifax, Yorkshire, England.1 The name of his wife was Agnes.1 He died circa 1549.
"Eawood Hall (ea, water, and wood) is delightfully situated in the Vale of Calder, called the loveliest vale in England. The Farrers were Lords of the Manor of Midgley and Brearely in the Parish of Halifax in the West Riding of Yorkshire. Their property extended to the Moors above and to the river Calder below."1
On 26 March 1539, "Henry Ferror of Halifax surrendered one messuage called 'Symehowse,' and a close of land called Hollinhey, containing 40 acres, to use of Henry Ferror, his son and his heirs, with remainders to his other sons in succession, Edward and John Ferror." Hollinhey was nearly opposite Eawood Hall on the other bank of the river, but higher up on the moors.2
On 1 January 1545, by deed, "Henry Ferror of Ewood, gave to his son Henry, two messuages called Symhouses, 'one of which is old,' also the south part of a close of land, wood and pasture, called Hallfelde, then divided into two parts, and one close of land called Symynge, together with other lands, etc., in Sowerby."3
His will dated 25 June 1548, was proved 26 November 1549. Wife Agnes and daughter Agnes were mentioned as executrices. Mentioned as supervisors of his will were sons William Ferror and Henry Ferror.4
Bishop Robert Farrer, who for his religious beliefs was burned at the stake in 1555, was probably a brother of Henry Farrer and was born at Eawood Hall.1
