About George Leiche, Merchant of Chatsworth
George Leche is always described as "Merchant of Chester". He was an Alderman, and one of the Sheriffs of Chester, 1536-7. He and his brothers, Henry and William (the latter of whom was one of the City Sheriffs in 1544-5, and the former in 1564-5), were admitted to the Freedom of the City, December 4th, 1552.
George Leche died around 1551. In his will he left land in Watergate Street, but none of these can be clearly associated with Leche House. Leche House divides the parishes of St. Peter and the Holy Trinity. In the Registers of the latter Simpson writes that he found:
"..the name of John Leche frequently mentioned; but not that of any other member of this family except Randle (once) and William, which points to the fact that Leche House was not the Town-house of Leche of Garden, but that it was the residence of John Leche, grandson of George Leche the founder of the Mollington branch of that name; and nephew of Robert Leche, Chancellor of the Diocese of Chester."
