They (Richard & Mary) owned land here also and were the great-grandparents of Moses Ashworth and others who for many years, kept the Egerton Arms, Ashworth, known as Chapel House. Richard & Mary were succeeded by their son, Richard and his wife betty Ashworth. At the death of Richard is widow Betty continued at the inn, and from the latter it derived its name of Owd Betts. At the death of Betty, who was interred in Ashworth Chapel (St. James Church, Ashworth) it was continued by her son John and his wife Betty, which helped to perpetuate the name of Owd Betts. After John & Betty, their daughter, Alice, who married Robert Roberts, entered into possession and is still there. R.H. September, 1914.
