By George Ormerod, D.C.L., F.R.S. and F.S.A. The LANCASHIRE HOUSE of NOEBES, and its SPEKE branch in particular, are among the strongest instances of the difficulty of investigating family history, where traditional antiquity and chivalrous descent have been acquiesced in from generation to generation. In such investigations the evidence of Records and Charters will often be found ample, but the labour of searching out and arranging it will as often be trifling when compared with the ungracious process of explaining errors in early compilations grown venerable from time; and such difficulty is created in the present case by the pedigree entered by Sir William Norres in the Visitation of 1567.

The assessment has been undertaken as a preliminary stage to inform a possible programme of fieldwork. The study area is believed to lie on the site of Leftwich Old Hall, established by the early 14th century when the family name of Leftwich was in use by the lord of the manor. The hall included a stone tower, believed to be of late medieval date, and there is also evidence for a moat, again probably dating to the medieval period.

  • The Chapels of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. John at High Legh, Cheshire with Some Account of the Cornwall-Legh and Egerton Leigh Families
    THE CHAPELS OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY AND ST. JOHN AT HIGH LEGH, CHESHIRE WITH SOME ACCOUNT OF THE CORNWALL-LEGH AND EGERTON LEIGH FAMILIES . :i BY RAYMOND RICHARDS, M.A., F.S.A., F.R.HIST.S. HE township of High Legh, situated five miles north-west from T Knutsford and the same distance south-west of Altrincham, is a scattered village in a pleasant and well wooded countryside on the busy high road from Warrington to Knutsford. Here the ancient family of Legh had its origin, and by the twelfth century had divided itself into two distinct branches, each possessing its own manorial hall, and later its own chapel. Consequently, dis­ entangling the High Legh history over a period of nine centuries is not easy, and the late Mr. Henry Cornwall Legh, who died in 1934, spent many years exploring the Legh and other muniment rooms, in his researches to augment the valuable work of Thomas Helsby's 1882 revised edition of Dr. George Ormerod's monumental history of the county. High Legh and the Legh family in this work were given very careful study by these antiquaries, and Sir Peter Leicester of nearby Nether Tabley writing his Historical Antiquities in the middle seventeenth century had found the problem no less difficult. The present owner of High Legh, Mr. C. L. S. Cornwall-Legh, D.L., J.P., C.C., who inherited the estate in 1934, has kindly placed the whole of his father's notes and the contents of the important muniment room at High Legh at the writer's disposal, and almost all the following material is derived from researches undertaken by the late Mr.

  • "They, of All England, to Ancient Customs Cleave:" Cheshire's
    "They, of all England, to ancient customs cleave:" Cheshire’s Privileged Autonomy and Tudor and Stuart Politics by Antony Tomlin A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of the University of Manitoba in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Joint Master’s Program Department of History University of Manitoba/University of Winnipeg Winnipeg, Manitoba Copyright © 2018 by Antony Tomlin Table of Contents Abstract……………………………………………………………………………… Acknowledgements…………………………………………………………………. Introduction………………………………………………………………………...1 Chapter 1: Sword of Dignity……………………………………………………...39 Chapter 2: Jurisdiction…………………………………………………………….77 Chapter 3: Taxation……………………………………………………………….93 Chapter 4: Militant Neutrality…………………………………………………...135 Bibliography……………………………………………………………………..157 Abstract Provincial autonomy in the competitive atmosphere of evolving ideas surrounding country, realm, and nation in late medieval and early-modern Britain is investigated through distinct and variegated notions of negotiated political deference to the authority of the English Crown and its Parliament. The Palatinate of Cheshire serves as an example to argue a tradition of independently negotiated county level structures for taxation and law created degrees of customary autonomy reinforcing the localized rejection of a single nation state. Historiographical debates surrounding early-modern conceptions about the nature of the state are challenged to argue for provincial autonomy founded upon custom and negotiation claimed and exerted by county inhabitants to a greater extent than previously recognised. I contend that early-modern communities locally recognized the composite structure and authority of the realm under the Crown and its advisors, but rejected the corporate idea that all counties collectively form a ‘nation’ as one political body. Acknowledgements To reach this moment of saying ‘Thank-you’ would not have happened if I had not benefitted immeasurably from the help of others.

  • Exploring the Critical Factors and Forces Affecting the Longevity and Resilience of Community-Scale Green Infrastructure
    Exploring the critical factors and forces affecting the longevity and resilience of community-scale green infrastructure Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy By Gemma Jerome September 2016 i AUTHOR’S DECLARATION This thesis is the result of my own work. The material contained in this thesis has not been presented, nor is currently being presented, either in part or wholly for any other degree qualification. I designed this research in conjunction with my supervisors and was solely responsible for data collection, analysis and write-up. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I would like to like to offer my gratitude to all of the interview participants who have contributed their rich experiences and perceptions to this thesis; and in particular, to the environmental stewards and volunteers without whom this research would not have been possible. I feel enriched by the experience of witnessing first-hand the diversity of activities made possible through the hard-work, determination, innovation and vision of small groups of individuals and the contributions of imaginative and skilful professionals. This thesis would not have been possible without the consistent and exceptional support of my supervision team, comprising Professor Dave Shaw, Dr Ian Mell and Dr Paul Jones. I would like to thank Dave for his coaching style, and specifically his calm composure and ability to navigate my oftentimes chaotic creative processes; with an abundance of colourful metaphors of course. And Ian, I would like to thank for his substantial kindness, for entertaining my frequent unannounced need for discourse, and for his unending belief that I could do this, and come out of the other side a better individual for it.

  • The Memory of Slavery in Liverpool in Public Discourse from the Nineteenth Century to the Present Day
    The Memory of Slavery in Liverpool in Public Discourse from the Nineteenth Century to the Present Day Jessica Moody PhD University of York Department of History April 2014 Abstract This thesis maps the public, collective memory of slavery in Liverpool from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the present day. Using a discourse-analytic approach, the study draws on a wide range of ‘source genres’ to interrogate processes of collective memory across written histories, guidebooks, commemorative occasions and anniversaries, newspapers, internet forums, black history organisations and events, tours, museums, galleries and the built environment. By drawing on a range of material across a longue durée, the study contributes to a more nuanced understanding of how this former ‘slaving capital of the world’ has remembered its exceptional involvement in transatlantic slavery across a two hundred year period. This thesis demonstrates how Liverpool’s memory of slavery has evolved through a chronological mapping (Chapter Two) which places memory in local, national and global context(s). The mapping of memory across source areas is reflected within the structure of the thesis, beginning with ‘Mapping the Discursive Terrain’ (Part One), which demonstrates the influence and intertextuality of identity narratives, anecdotes, metaphors and debates over time and genre; ‘Moments of Memory’ (Part Two), where public commemorative occasions, anniversaries and moments of ‘remembrance’ accentuate issues of ‘performing’ identity and the negotiation of a dissonant past; and ‘Sites of Memory’ (Part Three), where debate and discourse around particular places in Liverpool’s contested urban terrain have forged multiple lieux de memoire (sites of memory) through ‘myths’ of slave bodies and contestations over race and representation.
