The Historic Society was founded, in May 1848, at a public meeting held in the Liverpool College, Shaw Street, the Mayor (T. B. Horsfall, Esq.) presiding. Its general object was to prepare materials, of as many kinds as possible, for future use in illustrating the History of either or botli the Counties on the banks of the Mersey ; or of particular portions of them. One of the leading principles of the Society was to issue a volume, including the Proceedings and Transactions, to its members annually. It was understood of course that these would vary in size and interest according to the quantity or quality of the matter. No promise has been more faithfully fulfilled by the Society than this one : the annual volume has been issued not merely without a single omission but promptly, at or near the close of each session : and the one for the session just closed is at this moment nearly all in type. It was thought at the same time that a moderate amount of illus­ tration would make the papers more acceptable; and the liberality of individual members in presenting numerous plates has made some of the earlier volumes unusually attractive. Several provincial Societies have followed the example of this one in printing an annual volume of octavo size : but none have shown the same long-sustained success in illustration. Five consecutive volumes contain an average of more than twenty-one plates ; and five others an average of more than seventeen. The first six volumes differ slightly from all the subsequent ones both in matter and form : as in the first place they are mainly archaeological, and in the second the Proceedings are not separated in them from the Papers. But the first twelve volumes form a first series by themselves, and the next twelve a second series. While Volume XXIV (Vol. XII, Second Series) was in the press, I resolved to prepare an Index which should show to new members the contents of back volumes which remain in stock, and which should afford some guide to inquirers in reference both to the subjects of papers, and the number and kind of illustrations. This information is contained in Parts I and II. A more complete Index, alphabetical, of topics and of proper names, extending to many thousands of references was not lost sight of, nor is the idea of it abandoned even now. But this appeared to be too great an undertaking for the present. Something, however, has been done in this way. Our Assistant-Secretary commenced the arrangement of the titles of papers in alphabetical order, and I brought up his materials to the form in which they now stand. Thus, Part III appears along with the other two. IV The following facts serve to give one some idea of the character of the various volumes. 1. In the first series, there are 218 plates, 93 woodcuts, and 14 maps ; and 46 per cent, of the papers are illustrated more or less. In the second series, there are 103 plates, 107 woodcuts, and 4 maps; and 84 per cent, of the papers are illustrated more or less. In the whole twenty-four volumes, comprised in both series, there is an average of 18 plates, 9 woodcuts, and 1 map. 2. In the first series, the smallest volume is No. Ill, which extends to only 164 pages : the largest is No. X, which extends to 890. The one in which there are fewest illustrations is No. I, which contains 9 plates and 18 woodcuts. The one which is most copiously illus­ trated is No. X, which has 27 plates, 3 woodcuts, and 2 maps. 8. In the second series, the smallest is No. XXIV, which contains only 230 printed pages ; the largest is No. XX, which contains 881. The one which is least illustrated is No. XXII, containing only 2 plates and 1 woodcut; that which is best illustrated is No. XX, containing 14 plates and 68 woodcuts. An analysis of Part II shows us 163 contributors, of whom only 46 now remain on the roll, viz. 40 ordinary and 6 honorary members. The communications read, (omitting 10 of the least-important kind,) were 507 in number ; and of these 407 are printed either in extenso or by abstract. Of the remainder, the titles only are given. From this it appears (1) that on the average 21 papers per annum were read ; (2) that the contributors are slightly less than a third, as compared with the memoirs contributed; and (8) that not more than 28 per cent, of the writers are now members of the Society. A small number, perhaps about one-tenth, were outside friends and never had any connexion with the Society; while probably about the same proportion have ceased to be members, through change of residence and other causes. The rest have passed to their great account. In Part III, there are 427 subjects given in alphabetical order, and 692 references. As I was one of the three founders of the Society and one of its original members, it is only natural that I should take a deep interest iii its objects and operations. For sixteen years I was its Honorary Secretary : and this is the fifth session in which I have been called upon to occupy the position of President. I felt therefore that it would be a graceful recognition of long-continued confidence and kindness to present this tract to the Members; and it is besides a great pleasure to myself to do so. I trust also that the personal kindness which added so many beautiful illustrations to oiu earlier volumes may exhibit itself by favouring the members with some other document of general interest, suitable for binding up with this.

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 . :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.

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.

    The Family of Piers Hatton of Kirstibriches

    The Family of Piers Hatton of Kirstibriches Thus began the search by the future Sir Christopher Hatton for the “true petigre of my name” based on “suche Emblasons as serve to my purpose.”1 His correspondent, Ralph Dutton of Hatton, was the heir to the estates of the family of Hatton of Hatton and the senior representative of that family.2 It seems Dutton was not convinced of Christopher Hatton’s claims, as two years later Dutton’s brother-in-law, Henry Townsend, felt the need to advise him on the matter: The words “he cold not warrant theme, nor the colledge of the harrolds justly confirme theme” suggest Dutton’s doubts were justified. Townsend advised him to choose between “a worshipfull kinseman to be a piller to you and yors” or an enemy who “maye have just cause of mislike and unkindenes in yowe.” Dutton wisely accepted Hatton as a kinsman. Christopher Hatton’s researcher, Lawrence Bostock, completed his work and his research formed the basis of all later Hatton pedigrees. According to Bostock, the Hattons descended from “Ivon a noble man of Normandy [who] had 6 sons which came into England with William Conqueror.”3 1 According to Bostock, by the sixteenth century the family was represented by eight main branches. The eight branches were said to be descended from eight of the ten sons of Piers Hatton of Kirsty Birches and his first wife Margaret Bostock.4 Left: Hatton impaling Bostock as Hatton pedigrees claim them to have been 5 Right: Hatton impaling Bostock as depicted in 1640 6 Piers Hatton Piers or Peter Hatton was living in 38 Hen.

    George Ormerod, in His 1882 History of Cheshire, Made No Mention of the More Family of Thelwall

    APPENDIX 4 More and Martinscroft of Thelwall George Ormerod, in his 1882 history of Cheshire, made no mention of the More family of Thelwall. Furthermore, in describing the purchase of Thelwall property by Dr More, he was clearly unaware that Dr More came from Thelwall. He variously spelled the name as Moores, Moore and More. i The pedigree charts in the family papers do not take the More line any further back than Dr More’s father Edward. While the family papers, and More’s keenness to buy property there even whilst living elsewhere, imply conviction that this was where his roots lay, the evidence so far found remains inconclusive, and hardly indicative of gentility. Further comment is made on this in Appendix 5 and in Part 2. The 1580 Cheshire visitation list of freeholders includes 'John Markencroft' of Thelwall, and Ormerod quotes Sir Peter Leycester’s listing of thirteen ‘freeholds of inheritance’ in the township in 1666, one of them in the hands of John Martinscroft of Thelwall - ‘This hath for long continued in the name of Martinscroft, an ancient freeholder’. ii The list of freeholders in Bucklow hundred for 1578 also lists John Martinscroft of Thelwall, but no-one named More. iii A family paper displays below Alice Mar[tin]scroft's name a plain St Andrew's cross with fleurs-de-lys in points, but no confirmation of that attribution has been found, and in default of any supporting evidence, must be regarded as highly suspect, if not fanciful. iv Martinscroft appears to be a locative name, from the hamlet just a mile to the north-east of Thelwall, across the Mersey in Lancashire, and indeed the Mores' local purchases did include parcels of land there.
