  • CHRONICLES of THELWALL, CO. CHESTER, with NOTICES of the SUCCESSIVE LORDS of THAT MANOR, THEIR FAMILY DESCENT, &C
    379 CHRONICLES OF THELWALL, CO. CHESTER, WITH NOTICES OF THE SUCCESSIVE LORDS OF THAT MANOR, THEIR FAMILY DESCENT, &c. &c. THELWALL is a township situate within the parochial chapelry of Daresbury, and parish of Runcorn, in the East Division of the hundred of Bucklew, and deanery of Frodsham, co. Chester. It is unquestionably a place of very great antiquity, and so meagre an account has been hitherto published a as to its early history and possessors, that an attempt more fully to elucidate the subject, and to concentrate, and thereby preserve, the scat• tered fragments which yet remain as to it, from the general wreck of time, cannot fail, it is anticipated, to prove both accept• able and interesting. The earliest mention that is to be met with of Thelwall appears in the Saxon Chronicle, from which we find that, in the year 923, King Edward the Elder, son of King Alfred, made it a garrison for his soldiers, and surrounded it with fortifications. By most writers it is stated to have been founded by this monarch, but the opinion prevails with some others that it was in existence long before, and was only restored by him. Towards the latter part of the year 923, King Edward is recorded to have visited this place himself, and for some time made it his residence, whilst other portion of his troops were engaged in repairing and manning Manchester. These warlike preparations, it may be observed, were rendered necessary in consequence of Ethelwald, the son of King Ethelbert, disputing the title of Edward.

  • Geoffrey of Dutton, the Fifth Crusade, and the Holy Cross of Norton
    A Transformed Life? Geoffrey of Dutton, the Fifth Crusade, and the Holy Cross of Norton. Despite the volume of scholarship dedicated to crusade motivation, comparative little has been said on how the crusades affected the lives of individuals, and how this played out once the returned home. Taking as a case study a Cheshire landholder, Geoffrey of Dutton, this article looks at the reasons for his crusade participation and his actions once he returned to Cheshire, arguing that he was changed by his experiences to the extent that he was concerned with remembering and conveying his own status as a returned pilgrim. It also looks at the impact of a relic of the True Cross he brought back and gave to the Augustinian priory of Norton. Keywords: crusade; relic; Norton Priory; burial; seal An extensive body of scholarship has considered what motivated people to go on crusade in the middle ages (piety, obligation and service, family connections and ties of lordship, punishment and escape), as well as what impact that had across Europe in terms of recruitment, funding and organisation. Far less has been said about the more personal impact of crusading for individuals who took part. This is largely due to the nature of the sources from which, according to Housley, ‘not much can be inferred…about the response of the majority of crusaders to what they’d gone through in the East.’1 With the exception of accounts of the post-crusading careers of the most important individuals, notably Louis IX of France, very little was written about how crusaders responded to taking part in an overseas campaign which mixed the height of spiritual endeavour with extreme violence.

The first chapter investigates the general administration of the county, including its financial structure, and the officials and men recruited by Edward to control his Cheshire estates. This chapter shows that Edward, in spite of his father’s influence, led an independent policy by relying primarily on the justiciar and on local tenants to govern the county. The second chapter tackles the organisation of justice and the law administered in Cheshire.

Members of the family and the closely related Constables of the earls of Chester founded the Cistercian abbeys of Kirkstall (Yorks) and Stanlow (Chesh) (which later migrated to Whalley, Lancs), and the Augustinian priory of Norton (Chesh). The medieval accounts of the Lacy descent printed by Dodsworth and Dugdale in the Monasticon doubtless all derived from one or other of these institutions (Monasticon, v. 533–4, no. vi, ‘Historia Laceiorum’; ibid. 642–4, no. v, ‘De statu de Blagborneshire’; v. 647, no. xii, ‘Genealogia fundatorum monasterii de Stanlawe et de Walley secundum cronicas’; vi. 315–17, no. iii, ‘Fundatorum progenies et historia’).1 There are notes on the family among the manuscripts of the heralds Robert Glover (1543/4–1588) and Francis Thynne (1545?–1608).2 William Dugdale gave an account in the 1 See also the s. xv compilation from Kirkstall abbey, Bodl.

    THE ENTWISLE FAMILY – Their ancestry according to B. Grimshaw By Peter Stanford in continuation of his earlier Review of the above work. This will attempt to follow the indicated lines of descent in more detail. Part I - The Early Ancestors? A speculative chart based on the information given by Grimshaw from claimed pedigrees of other families. In an attempt to aid examination and analysis, this has been arranged by the three generations mentioned so that apparent contemporaries appear on the same line. Sir John Antwisel Wyons Marions Sir John Townley Wyamarus Whalley * temp. Wm. I of Townley temp. Wm. I (1066-1087) lord of Stanfeld lord of Whalley Thomas Entwissel Jordan = a daughter Eustas Sir Bryan Upton = Godytha = Tiburia *dau.of Sir John A. *dau.of Sir John Antwisel Elizabeth = John temp.Wm. Rufus (1087-1100) (GAP: From this point there is a gap in Grimshaw’s narrative until Robert de Entwissel of 1212. I will pick up from there in Part 2.) Locations and communications: The most obvious meeting point between these various places would be in the vicinity of Burnley, which is where Towneley is situated, on its eastern side, twelve miles from Entwistle “as the crow flies”. Horses don’t fly, but it still looks like a short enough journey for a lusty young man on horseback using cross-country tracks; or a combination of them and the Roman road which runs right through Entwistle. There is a track of prehistoric origin, since much upgraded following much the same line, and which seems to have remained in continuous use, running from Whalley to Burnley, Towneley, Mereclough, then skirting Stansfield Moor and on to Heptonstall and beyond.

    EARLY CHARTERS OF THE KNIGHTS HOSPITALLERS, RELATING TO MUCH WOOLTON, NEAR LIVERPOOL. By Robert Gladstone,Read 18th December Junior, 1902, .B.C.L., M.A. IX of the charters which form the subject of S the present paper were discovered by the writer in the muniment room at Aston Hall, near Frodsham, in Cheshire.1 The other charter is pre- served at Arley Hall, also in Cheshire, and is now published for the first time.2 The editing of these documents has been a task of considerable difficulty, for, in the first place, there is no adequate 1 I am indebted to Mr. John Hargreaves, a member of the Council of this Society, for drawing my attention to the fine charters at Aston Hall. There is a possibility that some of them will be acquired by the British Museum. The thanks of the Society are due to the proprietors of the charters for kindly permitting them to be published. 2 Its existence was noted, in 1866, by W. Beamont in his catalogue of the Arley charters (4to, Newton, Lanes., p. 32), but he supposed it to refer to Woolston, near Warrington It was also mentioned in Ormerod's Cheshire (see the account of Charter II below) 3 A very creditable paper on the history of Woolton (considering the sources within his reach) was read by the Rev. R. E. Roberts, curate there, before the Woolton Literary and Debating Society, and was printed in the Garston Weekly News for 21 December, 1895, and for 4 January and 11 January, 1896. 174 Much Woolton of the barony or lordship of Widnes.4 in which Woolton is situated.

  • The Castle and Manor of Castle Donington
    THE CASTLE AND MANOR OF CASTLE DONINGTON BY GEORGE F. FARNHAM, M.A., F.S.A. AND A. HAMILTON THOMPSON, M.A., D.LiTT., F.S.A. WITH AN ACCOUNT OF THE CHURCH BY A. HAMILTON THOMPSON, M.A., D.LiTT., F.S.A. I—THE DESCENT OF THE MANOR. In Domesday Book there are two entries relating to Castle Donington, under the respective headings of the land of the countess Alveva and that of earl Hugh. " The countess Alveva held Dunitone. There are 22^ carucates of land, In king Edward's time 20 ploughs were there. Now there are 3 ploughs in demesne; and 30 villeins with a priest and 5 socmen and 11 bordars have 12 ploughs. There is a mill rendering 10 shillings and 1 penny. Woodland 12 furlongs in length and 8 in breadth. It was worth 100 shillings; now it is worth 11 pounds."1 The second entry refers to land in Donington held as an appendage to the manor of Barhou (Barrow-on-Soar), of which Hugh, earl of Chester, was tenant-in-chief. " In Dunintone 5 carucates of land, and meadow 3 furlongs in length and 1 furlong in breadth."2 The countess Alveva, wife of Aelfgar, earl of Mercia, died, as Mr. Stenton notes, before the compilation of Domesday in 1086; but the account of her land is placed apart from the rest. The manor of Donington, however, passed into the possession of the earl of Chester; and in the Leicestershire Survey, drawn up between 1124 and 1129, we find under the heading of the hundred of Belton, the entry : "In Doninton the earl of Chester 22| carucates with appendages."3 The castle which gave the place its distinctive appellation was founded, according to Nichols, by Eustace son of John, who held the barony of Halton in Cheshire of the earls of Chester.

(BLACKPOOL) LTD., BACK REGENT ROAD, BLACKPOOL 1961 PREFACE Jt is now more than thirty years since the last list of the Chester probate records, for the period 1811 to 1820, was published by the Record Society in volumes 78 and 79. In 1949 all the documents prior to 1858 were removed from the jurisdiction of the Chester Probate Registry and divided into three groups : those relating to Welsh estates were deposited in the National Library of Wales, the Cheshire ones went to the Cheshire Record Office in Chester, and the remainder — by far the largest portion — which related to Lancashire estates, together with the indexes, registers and act books were deposited in the Lancashire Record Office in Preston. All the wills proved and administrations granted in the Chester Court for the period 1821 to 1825 are now listed in this volume in three indexes, baldly described as Lancashire, Cheshire and Welsh, although several documents in each group relate to other parts of the country.

    85 of such potency, that a charm without them would be of no efficacy what­ ever. The late Mr. Garnett, writing in May, 1825, adds " I should think that the document is of no great antiquity, probably not more than 30 or 40 years old. It was doubtless manufactured by some country ' wise man', a regular dealer in such articles. There are, I believe, several persons within 20 miles of Blackburn, who still carry on a trade of this sort." IT. MEMOIB OF THE EARLS OF CHESTER. By W. Williams Mortimer. PABT II. THE NORMAN EABLS. In a former volume of the Society's publications,* will be found a brief memoir of the ANGLO SAXON princes who held the Lordship of Chester previously to the Conquest. The following is a similar sketch of the NOBMAN LOBDS, and of the Palatinate Earldom which they held, after their predecessors had been banished or exterminated. Some account of the mode in which the Saxon princes conveyed and granted their lands, may form a suitable introduction. In the reign of Alfred, a general survey was made of his dominions, the particulars of which are still preserved in the Great Book of Winchester. Of its accuracy there is little doubt; and it is quoted in almost every page of the Domesday Boole, of which it formed the model, but which was not completed until twenty years after the Conquest. By the fundamental laws of the Saxons, all their lands were subject to the performance of the following duties : I. The erection and upholding of castles.
