The descent of the manor passed through large a number of individuals named John Leche, which is a potential source of confusion. I have assigned them numbers for ease of reference, according to the following scheme. The dates have not been researched in detail and are based on George Ormerod’s History of the County Palatine of Chester (revised by Thomas Helsby and published in 1882).
