Nether-Walton.

THis Town, as well as the other Walton, seems to take their Name from the mul∣titude of the Springs therein: for the ancient Saxons called a springing Water, A Wawe; for which we now use the word Well.

Geffrey Dutton of Chedill, gave to Richard Son of Robert Massy of Sale, all his Lands in Nether-Walton, in exchange for his Mannor of Ashley, in the Reign of Edward the First. Lib. C. fol. 150. f.

Sir Hugh Dutton of Dutton, 22 Edw. 1. is found to hold half of Nether-Walton of the Baron of Halton. Lib. C. fol. 156.bb.

And in the Feodary of Halton sub Ed. 2.—Dominus Petrus de Warburton tenet medie∣tatem de Walton inferiore, pro decima parte unius Feodi Militis. And in the Offices of Massy de Sale, Massy is found to hold half of Nether-Walton of Warburton of Arley.

But Massy of Sale hath sold his Moiety of Nether-Walton, except one Cottage, as followeth, 1666.
