------ ------------------- ---- ------------- -
Hamon Legh o f West-Hal l in High Leg h, in Cheshire, about t h e time of
Henry II. I t i s i ncontroverti bly c lear from Domes day Book that t he
Saxon
lords of Hi g h Le gh were ejecte d a t t he Conq uest, andthat a new l
or d
was
then intro d uce d, Gi lbert Ven ables , Lord of Kinderton, from whose
grant
s,
or fr o m t hose of his descendan ts , all subs e quent propr ietors mus t
have
deriv ed th eir posse ssion. In or a bout the time o f He nr y II
(1154-1189)
the M anor of Hi gh Legh ha d been gran te d out in moie tie s to two
families,
wh o a ssumed th e local na me, the earl iest known ances t o r of which
are
Ham on de Leg h , Pr ogenitor of the W est-Ha ll family, and E d ward de
Legh,
p
rogenitor of th e East-Hall family. Both of these were as ne arly
contemporar ies as possibl e, as can be gathered by ma rr iages and dat es
of
t heir imme diate descendants , a nd bot h we re most probab ly original
gran tees fr om t he Venables family . The re i s not, however, anyt hi ng
whic h
can induce a b elie f in Hamon and Edwar d being common stock. Th e ori
gin
of Ham on de L egh i s referred to th e Venab l es family by strong pro
babil ities. Dr. Will iamson, h istorian, wh o quotes a deed i n his
possessio n, for H amon bein g original gran tee, expr ess ly states him
to
be
descendedfrom Gilbe rt Vena bles. Of th e Moi ety of West-H all, l ater
one
moiety wa s giv en by Thoma s Leg h to his half brot he r, Ra lph Hawarden
.
Arms of Venabl es: Azure, two bar rs a rgent.
Crest: On a w reath. A wyvern A rgent, pierced by an arrow, h eador Or and
feathered Arg e n t, devouring a child proper, cr ine d Or, and standing
