Being Rastick by George Redmonds, published in Bradford Telegraph and
Argus, 14 July 1977.
Eventually, in the 1370s, a fascinating development took place. Henry de
Rastricke had at least two sons. One retained the family surname, but the
other based his on his father's christian name. A favourite form of Henry
at that time was Han, and so this branch of the family which continued in
Rastrick became known as Hanson. A deed of 1377 records that fact that
"John de Rastrick being dead, John Hanson his cousin and heir paid 5s. for
land in Woodhouse."
