THORP-STAPLETON, (Yorkshire, W.R.) or THORP JUXTA AQUAM, or THORP-HALL, was first the manor and seat of the Stapletons,
then of the Skargills; and the Kts.-Templars had also some lands here. The Roman via vicinalis leading from the great
military road on Bramham-Moor is visible here. The Ld. Irwin had a seat here.
