London! Its name comes from Anglo-

Interestingly,
(picture above), dates from the 16 th
century (although it was modified in the 19 th century) so it was probably being
constructed during the lifetime of the first ancestor.
Great Budworth 23
Great Budworth is in the North West of Cheshire, relatively close to Wilmslow.
According to Sir Peter Leycester, the name Great Budworth comes from
the Old Saxon words, bode ("dwelling") and wurth ("a place by water").
The early history of Great Budworth is documented in the Domesday Book,
which mentions a priest at Great Budworth. In 1130, St Mary and All Saints
Church was given to the Augustinian canon of Norton Priory [8] by William
FitzNigel, Constable of Chester and Baron of Halton.
The lord of the manor during the reign of Henry III was Geoffrey de Dutton.
He donated to Norton Priory a third of his land to endow masses for his
soul. After the dissolution of the monasteries, King Henry VIII granted the
estate to John Grimsditch. It was afterwards divided into several parcels.
