INSCRIPTION ON THE SILVER PLATE ON THE WIRRAL HORN.
"In the year 1120(1), Randal de Meschines, Earl of Chester, created Alan Sylvester chief forester of the forest of Wirral, and granted(2) to him the manors of Hooton,(3) Storeton, and Puddington to hold upon the condition that he performed the duties of forester, and in addition (4) that he blew or caused to be blown a horn at the Gloverstone in Chester on the morning of every fair day, to indicate that the tolls on all goods bought or sold in the city or within sound of that horn belonged to the Earl or his tenants. Alan Sylvester was succeeded by his son Ralph, on whose death, without issue, Hugh Cyvelioc, Earl of Chester, granted the same manors with the forestership to Alexander de Storeton on his marriage with Annabella, the daughter (5) of Alan Sylvester. Alexander de Storeton again had only female issue, and the forestership passed next to Sir Thomas Bamville, who married Agnes de Storeton, daughter of Alexander. Sir Philip Bamville, the heir of Sir Thomas, also left issue, three daughters only, the eldest of whom, Jane, married Sir William de Stanley, and brought the forestership as part of her dower, the title of her son, John Stanley, having been proved in 1346 before Jordan de Maccles-
field, Justice in Eyre to the Earl of Chester.
1-This may have been the approximate date when the master-forestership was created, though I do not know any satisfactory authority for it.
2-The grant of Storeton and Puddington was by earl Ranulf "de Gcrnon " and not before 1129, as the charter proves.
3-Hooton was a Stanley property and was not granted by the charter.
4-See p. 108.
6Annabella may have been daughter of Ralph. See Ormerod, ii, 446n.
See p. 99, footnote 5.
