History of a house
« on: Tuesday 27 August 24 20:35 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find out anything I can about The Manor, a house in Shocklach in Cheshire. I have found quite a lot going back to the 1830s, but prior to this I have been unable to find anymore. It was built c1775 but it is believed an earlier house was on the site called the Hay House.

Can anyone suggest anywhere to look for more information? I did wonder if the house may have been owned by the lords of the manor, the Puleston family. The earliest person owning the house I can find is Francis Povey.

Langley, Broughton, Taylor, Broad, Cooper, Owen, Bennion, Yorke, Knox, Norcup, Holland, Brookes, White, Davies, Huntbach, Bowler, Barnett.

Chester Courant
27 October 1767

To be sold
The Manor of Shocklach, in the county of Chester.

For particulars apply to Thomas Puleston of Emrall, Esq,  at his seat in Flintshire
Or to Mr Thomas Hayman, attorney-at-law in Wrexham, Denbighshire


But could “the Manor” refer to an area of land rather than a house?

This is what has made it tricky to search. I think this refers to the manor of shocklach being an area rather that this house specifically.

Presume you have been through the Cheshire Archives catalogue?

That’s sounds very possible! Maybe it wasn’t an earlier house but an earlier name of the same house.
Where can I see the Chester courant? I’ve a subscription to newspapers.com but didn’t find it there
