    Parochial Chapelry of Over-Pever

    Over-Pever

    In the time of the Conqueror, Ranulphus (the supposed ancestor of the Manwarings) held this township of Over-Pever, or the greatest part thereof; and also the hamlet or place, called Cepmundwich, in Over-Pever, as a distinct thing by itself, as appears in Doomsday-book.

    In the reign of Henry the Third, Roger Manwaring, of Warmincham, in Cheshire, gave unto his younger son William Manwaring - Totum tenementum, redditum, et boscum, quae praedictus Rogerus habuit in villa de Pever - Salvo capitali domino debito et consueto servitio per manum dicti Rogeri et haeredum suorum :- Reddendo inde annuatim praedicto Rogero, et haeredibus suis, unum nisum sorum ad festum beati Petri ad vincula, pro omni servitio. Lib. B. pag. 2, c. The original penes sir Thomas Manwaring of Over-Pever, baronet, 1666. Sealed with an escocheon of six barrulets.

    This William Manwaring fixed his habitation at Over-Pever, where his succeeding heirs have ever since continued to this day; and do now pay yearly, unto Mr. Crew of Crew, lord of Warmincham, one soresparrow-hawk, or two shillings in lieu thereof, according to the deed aforesaid.

    ...

    Now followeth the descent of the Mainwarings Of Over Peover

    I. William Manwaring, of Over-Pever, younger son of Roger Manwaring of Warmincham, had Over-Pever by the gift of his father, regnante Henrico Tertio. Lib. B. pag. 2 c

    He had issue, William, son and heir. Thomas, to whom his father gave Fodon, in Over-Pever ; Lib. B. pag. 2, d, et pag. 3, g, h. Benedict, another son; Ibid. pag. 4, m. et pag. 13, e. f. Guy, another son ; Sir Tho. Acton's Deeds, pag. 31, n. Also Roger, another son, whose son William married Margaret, daughter of Roger Toft of Toft, 1 Edw. I.; Lib. B. pag. 8, a.

    II. William Manwaring of Over-Pever, son and heir of William, married _____ and had issue, Roger, eldest son ; William, another son, whose daughter Ellen married Adam Glasebrook', 14 Edw. III. 1341 ; Lib. B. pag. 9, g. Reginald, another son; Lib. B. pag. 11, r. And Maud, a daughter, to whom her father gave a messuage in Over-Pever, which Hamond of Radbroke formerly held; Lib. B. pag. 11, t.

    This William lord of Over-Pever lived 1286, 14 Edw. I.

    Roger Manwaring, son and heir of William, married Christian de Birtles, and had issue, William, son and heir; and Joan, a daughter, married Robert de Fallybrome nigh Birtles, by whom she had issue Robert, John, and Roger, living 1342. Lib. B. pag. 27, y, et pag. 9, I.

    This Roger died in the life-time of his father; and Christian, his widow, afterwards married John de Byrun ; and lastly, she married Robert de Varnon, living 8 Edw. III. 1334. Lib. B. pag. 8, b, d, f.

    III. William Manwaring of Over-Pever, son and heir of Roger, married Mary, daughter of Henry Davenport, living 19 Edw. II. Lib. B. pag. 8, c, d, and had issue William Manwaring, son and heir; Roger, Margery, and Millicent, all living 8 Edw. III. 1334. Lib. B. pag. 8, f.

    This William died about 12 or 13 Edw. III.

    IV. William Manwaring of Over-Pever, son and heir of William, had two wives.

    His first wife was Joan, daughter and coheir of William Praers of Baddiley, near Nantwich, by whom he had issue William Manwaring, son and heir. Lib. B. pag. 13, g, et 15, I. Margery, the other coheir, married John Honford of Honford, in Maxfield Hundred, who had issue John Honford. Afterwards she married Hugh Holt', 33 Edw. III. but had no issue by Holt; and she died 3 Rich. II. 1380. Lib. B. pag. 28, b. But in the Inquisition taken at Chester, 28 Febr. 21 Rich. II. it was found that John Honford the son was a bastard, and that William Manwaring was sole heir to Margery, et nullus alius. Lib. B. pag. 27 z. Yet did William Manwaring by his will, anno 1399, divide the lands of Baddiley between John Manwaring his half brother, and the said John de Honford. Lib. B. pag. 28, a.

    After the death of Joan Praers, this William married Elizabeth, daughter of Nicholas Leycester, and sister of John Leycester of Nether Tabley, by whom he had issue John Manwaring, Randle Manwaring, both afterwards lords of Over-Pever successively; Thomas, Alan, and Richard, living 38 Edw. III. Lib. B. pag. 9, h. et pag. 10, n, o. Also Emme, a daughter, married Richard Wynnington, son and heir of sir Richard Wynnington of Wynnington, nigh Northwich, 1357, 31 Edw. III. Lib. B. pag. 11, w. Ellen, another daughter, married Raufe, son and heir of Raufe, son of Richard Vernon of Shibrok in Cheshire, 33 Edw. III. 1359. Lib. B. pag. 12, b. And Joan married (sir) William Legh of Baggiley, 33 Edw. in. 1359. She was but five years old on Candlemas Day then last past. Lib.B. pag. 11, x, and lived not to have any issue by (sir) William Legh.

    This William Manwaring was stiled William Manwaring the elder, 33 Edw. III Lib. B. pag. 9, I, and pag. 12, b. He sealed with his coat of arms most usually, to wit, three bars, with a lion passant in chief Lib. B. pag. 9, I. 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 ancestors branched.

    For Roger Manwaring of Warmincham, in the reign of Henry the Third, sealed with six barrulets ; whose son and heir, sir Thomas Manwaring of Warmincham, used only two barrs in his seal; as I have seen their seals. And after the male line of Manwaring of Warmincham failed, then did the heir of Manwaring of Over-Pever assume the two bars onely, in the reign of Richard the Second, as next heir male; leaving off this coat of three bars with a lion in chief, as shall anon in due place appear.

    This William Manwaring the elder died 38 Edw. III. 1364. Elizabeth his widow survived, and was living 1405, 6 Hen. IV.

    V. William Manwaring, of Over-Pever, junior, son and heir of William Manwaring the elder, by Joan Praers, had also two wifes. The first was Katharine, daughter of John Belgrave of Belgrave in the township of Eaton-boat in Cheshire, whom he married 40 Edw. III. 1366. Lib. B. pag. 10, p. His second wife was Clementia Cotton : lib. B. pag. 13, g. But he had not any issue by either wife. This William settles his estate, upon his departure out of England towards Guyen, 17 Rich. II. 1393, and afterwards made his will, 1394 ...

    This William died without issue 1399, 22 Rich. II. and was buried at Aghton-church, leaving John Manwaring his half-brother to succeed in his inheritance.

    VI. John Manwaring of Over-Pever, half-brother and heir to the last William, and son to William Manwaring the elder by Elizabeth his second wife, married Margaret, the widow of sir John Warren of Pointon in Cheshire, and daughter and heir of sir John Stafford of Wigham, about 13 Rich. II. for sir John Warren died the tenth of Richard the Second. Lib. F. pag. 19, b.

    ...

    This John Manwaring died without lawful issue, 11 Hen. IV.' 1410, leaving his brother Randle to succeed in his inheritance.

    Margaret his widow survived, and was living 4 Hen.V. Lib. B. pag. 22, a, et pag. 12, a.

    He had a bastard son by Margery Winnington, called Peter Manwaring. Lib. B. pag. 13, g, h.

    VII. Randle Manwaring, of Over-Pever, esquire, brother and heir to John Manwaring, married Margery, the widow of Richard Buckley of Chedill in Cheshire, and daughter of Hugh Venables, baron of Kinderton. He petitioned the king for enjoying the dower of Margery his wife, because he had married her without the king's licence, 16 Rich. II. by whom he had issue John Manwaring, eldest son ; William Manwaring, second son, from whom the Manwarings of Ightfield in Shropshire ; Randle Manwaring, third son, from whom the Manwarings of Carincham in Cheshire ; Elizabeth, married Raufe Egerton of Wryne-hill in Staffordshire; Cicely, married Thomas Fowleshurst of Crew in Cheshire ; Joan, married John Davenport, son and heir of Raufe Davenport, of Davenport in Cheshire, 12 Hen. IV. 1411 ; lib. B. pag. l6, m. ; Ellen, married Thomas Fitton of Gowesworth in Cheshire ; Agnes, another daughter, was affianced to William Bromley of Badington in Cheshire, son of sir John Bromley, but she died before marriage : whereupon he married Margaret, sister to Agnes, 4 Hen. VI. 1426. Lib. B. pag. 7, num. 8, 9. This Margaret was widow 15 Hen. VI. 1436. Lib. B. pag. 17, q,r. And after she married sir John Nedham of Crannach, justiciarius de banco, and judge of Chester 1 Edw. IV. But sir John Nedham had no issue by her.

    This Randle was also a courtier, stiled arniiger regis, the king's servant, et Sagittarius de corona, 21 Rich. II. and went into Ireland with his brother John in the king's service, 22 Rich. II. He had the office of equitator forestae de Mara et Mondrum granted unto him for his life, 6 Hen. IV. and two parts of the serjeanty of Maxfield hundred, which were Raufe Davenport's, till John Davenport came to age; dated 3 Hen. V. And he had also (with others) the custody of the manor of Kerincham in Cheshire, 13 Hen. VI.

    He had a bastard-son by Emme Farrington, called Hugh Manwaring, from whom the Manwarings of Croxton nigh Middlewich ; also Thomas Manwaring of North-Rode, another bastard-son, 12 Rich. II. ; and Randle, another bastard-son, 4 Hen. IV. ; and also three bastard-daughters : lib. B. pag. 13, h, et pag. 42, a, b, c.

    This Randle Manwaring of Over-Pever, stiled commonly Honkyn Manwaring in the language of those times, died 35 Hen. VI. 1456. Lib. B. pag. 21, e. Buried at Over-Pever, in the stone chappel on the south side of the church ; which chappel Margery his wife, surviving, erected, with the two monuments therein, for her self and husband, anno Domini 1456.
