    BARTON of BARTON St George's Visitation of Lancashire Recorded in 1613 That Edmond Lathom (Father of George Lathom of Huyton A

    BARTON of BARTON St George’s Visitation of Lancashire recorded in 1613 that Edmond Lathom (father of George Lathom of Huyton and son of Thomas Latham) had been married to ‘Petronill, daughter of George Massy [recte Mascy] of Rixton’.1 Edmund Latham was probably born to Thomas Latham by c. 1441 and married Petronill Massey by 1462.2 According to a ‘Descent of the Mascys of Rixton’,3 George Mascy was a son of Hamon Mascy, third Mascy lord of Rixton. St George showed George Mascy’s wife as ‘Katherine, daughter and heire of Oliver Barton’. This was perhaps Oliver de Barton (born c. 1385), who succeeded his nephew in his estates at Barton (Farndon parish), Cheshire in 1435–6.4 Confusion seems likely, however, since the Mascy and Latham families also had interests in lands at Barton in the Lancashire parish of Eccles. On 6 March 1448 George Mascy was a deforciant (with one Oliver Barton, surely his alleged father–in–law) in the sale for 100 marks of six messuages and 316 acres in Barton, Irlam, Rivington and West Leigh, all in Lancashire.5 Oliver Barton was married to Eleanor, who acted against Edmund Latham and George Mascy in 1473 to regain her third part of 200 acres in Barton.6 On St James Day 1473 the Lancaster plea roll records the claim of ‘Ellen Barton’ to a third of five messuages, 200 acres of land, 6 acres of meadow, 40 acres of wood, 100 acres of moss, and 1000 acres of pasture, which had been her dower.

    TATTENHALL. Being a sketch of the Village of that name near CHESTER. Together with some accounts of Historic events relating to the City and County of Chester. From Notes and writings By the Late R.O. ORTON. Foreword. Having found the following notes on Tattenhall’s village and neighbourhood among my late father’s papers, and also that the reading of them considerably interested many friends, I decided, at their request, to place them in book form before the public, hoping they will meet with the same approval by the Tattenhall folk, as they have privately. I would also like to add that in the arranging and compiling of these notes I have been very cheerfully and ably helped by Mr. Alec C. Reid, a very old friend of our family. D. M. O. Bank House. Tattenhall. 29th February, 1908. Introduction to a short sketch of Tattenhall. It has been thought that it would not be uninteresting to the parishioners of Tattenhall, if a few notes were to be published of some of the changes in that time, in its appearance, and on its various inhabitants, their habits, customs, and traditions. It is not intended to write a history of the parish but merely to jot down such notes as may have been culled by the writer from various sources, or may have come down to him, as tradition, from some of the old inhabitants, long since dead. If any apology is needed for the writer venturing to publish this pamphlet, containing such jottings, it may perhaps be found in the fact that in these days of rapid progress, people are apt to forget or neglect the past history of their country, and whilst enjoying the countless privileges which they now have, fail to appreciate the greatness of those privileges, by not comparing them with the few advantages enjoyed by their forefathers.

    AERIAL ARCHAEOLOGY AND THE EVIDENCE FOR MEDIEVAL FARMING IN WEST CHESHIRE R. Williams, M.A.. R.I.B.A., F.S.A. Aerial archaeology, or the use of aerial photographs to interpret the landscape, is not new. The first aerial photo­ graphs were taken from balloons in the 19th century, but it was aerial reconnaissance during the first World VVar that made archaeologists appreciate the possibilities of this techni­ que for their own research. Aerial archaeology had not been seriously attempted in Cheshire until it was realised that the prolonged drought during 1976 was revealing hitherto un­ known ancient features throughout Britain. The unusual conditions were producing the well-known crop mark phenomenon, where a buried feature is made 'visible' on the surface by premature ripening or differential growth in the crop immediately above it. The conditions obtaining in 1976 were exceptional, but they do occur to a sufficient degree to produce some crop marks in any dry summer in most English counties. In most counties, but not in all; some counties, Cheshire among them, have for many years been pastoral rather than arable, and there have been few crops in which such marks could appear. Crop growing involves ploughing and this, too, can reveal ancient features which appear as lines or patterns of discol­ ouration in the soil. Unfortunately, for the aerial observer, soil marks, as these features are called, are as rare as crop marks in Cheshire, so that another method of discovery has to be used. This makes use of a very low sun which brings into sharp relief even minor declivities and protuberances on the ground.

    Submission to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England on Warding Arrangements for Cheshire West and Chester Council June 2017 Cheshire West Labour 1. Introduction 1.1 As part of the review being undertaken by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (“the Commission”) into both Council Size and Warding Arrangements within Cheshire West and Chester Council (“the Council”) the Commission has determined, in a letter to the Chief Executive of the Council dated 28th March 2017 to recommend that the number of elected Members should be reduced to 69. 1.2 The Commission published this recommendation following a consultation process. 1.3 This recommendation provides for a Councillor to electorate ration of 1 : 4085 1.4 The next phase of this Review is to determine a pattern of Warding Arrangements. 1.5 This submission is made by Cheshire West Labour comprising the Cheshire West and Chester Labour Group and the Chester West and Chester Local Campaign Forum as part of that determination process. 1.6 This document should be considered alongside the Council Size submission made by Cheshire West Labour in May 2017. 1.7 The intention of this submission is to assist the Commission in reaching its determination on the pattern of Warding Arrangements and the following statutory criteria has been adopted and considered throughout: Delivering electoral equality for local voters. We have sought to ensure that each local councillor represents roughly the same number of people. This provides for a system where every person’s vote achieves the same value. In the context of this submission, as mentioned above, we are seeking to establish an elected member to electorate ratio of 1 : 4085.

    55 IV.—Observations upon the History of one of the old Cheshire Families. By Sir FORTUNATUS DWARRIS, B.A., F.R.S., F.S.A. Read February 24th, March 2nd, and 9th, 1848. ORMEROD, in his History of Cheshire, mentions Grosvenor, Davenport, and Brereton as " three grantees who can be proved by ancient deeds to have existed at or near the Conquest, though unnoticed in Domesday." Of these the family least favoured by fortune in later times (the peerage and the baronetage in the Brereton family having both become extinct, and the heirship in lands and manors in all the principal English lines having descended to females), was, during the earliest centuries after the Conquest, among the most distinguished in the palatinate, and, by its fortunate and splendid marriages, became entitled to prefer for its issue the highest claims, even to ducal and regal descent. This state of the case, and a natural desire to uphold ancient valour and renown against the mere caprices of fortune, renders what can be collected of personal anecdote, local tradition, or the biography of the members of such a family (and not the mere bead-roll of its pedigree which is printed in local histories), a suitable subject of archaeological inquiry, often suggestive of useful topics, and sometimes replete with interesting matter. The Breretons appear to have arrived in England from Normandy with William the Conqueror, under Gilbert or Gislebert de Venables, surnamed Venator (the hunter), afterwards Baron of Kinderton, in the retinue of that grim leader, Hugh Lupus (the wolf), afterwards Earl of Chester.a The names of Venables and of Breton (but not of Brereton) are to be found in the roll of Battle Abbey, a sufficiently cited and very memorable list of the names of Norman barons, knights, and esquires who were present at the battle of Hastings, which was hung up at Battle Abbey, and preserved with religious care by the monks, who had enough to do to pray their founders out of purgatory, and to save the souls of such bloody sinners.
