That the royalists torched the place as they retreated after defeat at Naseby indicates most Cartwrights were protestants. The Cartwrights owned the manor house for over 300 years until the line ended in 1954 when Richard Cartwright and his son Edward died in a car crash. Thanks for looking. --Graham
