Notes

William Mobberley was lord of the moiety of Mobberley and patron of the Mobberley church. He bought the moiety of Nether Poever from Richard Bonstable in 1281. He had William, John, to whom his father gave all his lands in Nether Poever and Tatton, but John died sine prole and those lands reverted to William. Another son, Richard, was made parson of Mobberley by his father, but was slain by another Richard Mobberley.[1]

The Mobberley family continued to dominate the area, and their history is found in several documents, among them dissertations by doctoral students at the University of Manchester. Accordingly, church builder Raufe had son William, who extended the Mobberley holdings substantially. His son William was a one-time Sheriff of Cheshire, whose daughters married well in the Cheshire nobility, including Venables and Hrosvenors. [2]
