RANULPHUS, a noble Norman in the train of WILLIAM the Conqueror, one of the soldiers of fortune, who acquired as their share of the spoil, the county of Chester, had, for his immediate division, fifteen lordships there, amongst which was PEURE (afterwards Over Peover). His son and heir,

RICHARD DE MASNILWAREN, was father of

ROGER MANWARING, of Warmincham, in Cheshire, who conferred by deed upon his younger son, WILLIAM, temp. HENRY III. the estate of Over Peover, which WILLIAM MANWARING, fixed in consequence, his habitation there. He had several children, and was s. by his eldest son,

WILLIAM MANWARING, of Over Peover, living in

1286.

WILLIAM MANWARING, of Over Peover, (son of Roger Manwaring and Christian de Birtles,) living in 19 EDWARD II. m. Mary, daughter of Henry Davenport, and was s. by his elder son,

WILLIAM MANWARING, of Over Peover, who m. first Joan, daughter and heir of William Praers, of Baddiley, near Nantwich, and had a son, WILLIAM, his heir. He wedded, secondly, Elizabeth, daughter of Nicholas Leycester, and sister of John Leycester, of Nether Tabley, by whom he had

Joan, m. to William Legh, of Baggiley.

This William, who was styled," William Manwaring the elder," 33 EDWARD III. died in 1364, (Elizabeth, his widow, was living in 1405,) and was s. by his eldest

son,

WILLIAM MANWARING, of Over Peover, who wedded, first, (in 1366,) Catherine, daughter of John Belgrave, of Belgrave, in Cheshire, and secondly, Clementia Cotton, but had no issue. In the 17th of RICHARD II. his seal bore the arms of the family without distinction, viz. arg. two barrs gu." inscribed about S. Willielmi Maynwaring. For at that period, the elder house of Warmincham was extinct, and devolved to a daughter. He made his will in 1394, wherein, amongst other matters, he bequeaths his body to be buried in Aghton Church, and his picture in alabaster to cover his tomb in the said church; giving to the said church, a part of Christ's cross, which the wife of Randle Manwaring, his half-brother, had in her custody, shut up in wax: to the chapel of Over Peover, he gave Unam togam de blueto ut fiat inde vestimentum ibidem. He left also a competent salary for a chaplain to celebrate masses for his soul in the chapel of St. Mary, in Aghton Church, for seven years. He d. in 1399, and was s. by his half-brother,

JOHN MANWARING, of Over Peover, who m. about 13 RICHARD II. Margaret, daughter and heir of Sir John Stafford, of Wigham, and widow of Sir John Warren, of Pointon, in Cheshire, but had no issue by her. The king granted to this John, all the lands and goods of Sir Hugh Browe, which the said Hugh had forfeited by his rebellion, dated 18 Augusti, 4 HENRY IV. He (John) waited on the prince, afterwards HENRY V. and he was made sheriff of Cheshire (quamdiu nobis placuerit) 18th September, 4 HENRY IV. and continued in office 5th and 6th of the same king, in which writ, the Earl of Chester calls him, armigerum suum. He had also an annual pension from HENRY IV. of twenty marks, and was constituted, with Matthew Del Mere, and Thomas Meyshawe, judges of the gaol delivery at Chester, hac vice, nono die Aprilis, 5 HENRY IV. He d. in 1410, and was 8. by his brother,

"He sealed with his coat of arms, most usually, three bars, with a lion passant, in chief, inscribed about the seal, Sigill. Willielmi De Maynwaringe; which coat of arms he gave in distinction from Manwaring, of Warmincham, out of which family his ancestor branched. For Roger Manwaring, of Warmincham, in the reign of HENRY III. sealed with six barrulets; whose son and heir, Sir Thomas Manwaring, of Warmincham, used only two barrs in his seal; as I (Sir Peter Leicester) have seen on their seals. And after the male line of Manwaring, of Warmincham, failed, then did the heir of Manwaring, of Over Peover, assume the two barrs only, in the reign of RICHARD II. as next heir male, leaving off his coat of three barrs, with a lion in chief."

He had a bastard son, by Margery Winnington, called Peter Manwaring.

"A descendant of this branch was (though a younger son) Dr. Roger Manwaring, who was born at Stretton, in Shropshire, and educated in the university of Oxford. He was some time vicar of St. Giles's in the Fields, and chaplain to K. Charles 1st, before whom, preaching three sermons, entitled Religion and Allegiance, he was called in question for it by parliament, charged with endeavouring to destroy the king and kingdom by his divinity, and sentenced to be imprisoned, was fined £1000, A ordered to make his submission, and was disabled to enjoy any preferment, or office.

living of Stanford Rivers, in Essex, in 1633, made him dean of Worcester, and two years after nominated him to the bishopric of St. David's; in 1640 his troubles were revived in parliament, and tho' the old grudge lay still at the bottom of the prosecution, yet the new crimes of popish innovations, conversing with papists, and being sociable and jovial, were trumped up against him, upon which he was (as Lloyd, in his memoirs expresses it,) apprehended suddenly, confined severely, fined heavily, plundered violently, and persecuted from place to place continually, insomuch, that for the two last years of bis life, not a week passed over his head without a messenger or an injury; which he desired God not to remember against his adversaries, and adjured all his friends to forget. Under these his troubles he had nothing left but a small temporal estate to support him, and died at Carmarthen, July 16, (A. Wood says, July 1) 1653. He was of a pious life and conversation, and very charitable; as appears particularly, by one of the three great designs which he had in pursuit, namely, the redeeming of captives; and though he laboured under a very severe character, with the Puritans, (and not without reason, if the accusation against him was true, of straining the prem gative in the matter of raising money without the consent of parliament;) yet by the Royalists, he was esteeme! worthy of the great function which he bore, being a person of great zeal for the Church of England.”
