Richard de Vernon, 5th Baron of Shipbrook

The children of Warin de Vernon are shown as Richard de Vernon of Shipbrook and Matthew de Vernon, male ancestor of the Hulgreves of Hulgreve, and Erdswicks of Erswick, afterwards of Sandon.

Other branches of the Vernon family fared better and their influence spread beyond Cheshire in the centuries which followed. During the reign of Henry III, Sir Richard de Vernon (died circa 1215) acquired the manor of Haddon in Derbyshire by his thirteenth century marriage to Alice Avenell, daughter of William Avenell and heiress of Nether Haddon and Haddon Hall. (pictured below left) The Vernons were responsible for most of the buildings at Haddon Hall, apart from the Peveril Tower and part of the Chapel, which were already existed in 1170.
