* Childewall, the Cildeuualle of Domesday, is thus mentioned in that document: Quatuor Rademans tenent Cildeuualle pro quatuor manerijs. Ibi dimidia hida valent octo solidos. Ibi presbyter erat habens dimidiam camcatam terre in elemo- synam. It formed part of the barony of Manchester, and was held by the Grelleys as chief lords. In the Testa de Neville it is stated that Robert de Lathom held a knight's fee in Childewall as of the fee of Thomas de Grelley. And the manor itself was in the hands of John de la Warre in 1311, as appears by the county feodary of that date: Idem Johannes tenet manerium de Childwall per homagium et seruicium unius feodi militis. The advowson of the church was granted, 3 Edward II., by Sir Robert de Holland, to the priory of St. Thomas the Martyr, at Holland, and on its dissolution the living was appropriated to the crown, and was granted, 3 Elizabeth, to the see of Chester.
