   Note: About John de l'leche, II, Surgeon to Edward III,Richard II The lands around Chester are described as Salchale, Staneie, Berwardslei (Burwardsley), and Leche. Around this time people named themselves after the region they were from, or alternatively after their occupation. e.g. William de Staneie, John d'Leche. John Leche, was surgeon (i.e. "leech") to King Edward III (13 November 1312 – 21 June 1377), reigned 1327-21-June-1377. He appears to have continued as surgeon the Richard II as Simpson records (Cheshire Recog: Rolls) the following: " 1381-2 January 17. Grant to John Leche, the King's Surgeon by the King [Richard II.] of an annuity of ,10 to be received out of the issues of the Mills of the Dee, in lieu of a like annuity granted to him by Edward, Prince of Wales, to be received at the Exchequer at Chester." John Leche, was surgeon (i.e. "leech") to King Edward III (13 November 1312 – 21 June 1377) who by patent (50 Edw. III.) was grantee of Castle Warin (Castlewarden), and other lands. [2] Castlewarden is a townland, monastic site and former parish situated between Ardclough and Kill, County Kildare just off the N7 in Ireland. Castlewarden House, which now forms the main building of Castlewarden Golf Club, its medieval earthwork complex, a motte and bailey, and a rectangular enclosure are all listed monuments under the Kildare development plan. The earliest evidence of human habitation in the area was the discovery of a flint dated to 4800-3600BC, at Castlewarden below Oughter Ard Hill, a rare find on a dryland location. Castlewarden hill is an ancient site associated with the 10 Uí Dúnchada kings of Leinster between 750 and 1050, whose inauguration took place on nearby Lyons Hill. He appears to have continued as surgeon the Richard II as Simpson records (Cheshire Recog: Rolls) the following: " 1381-2 January 17. Grant to John Leche, the King's Surgeon by the King [Richard II.] of an annuity of ,10 to be received out of the issues of the Mills of the Dee, in lieu of a like annuity granted to him by Edward, Prince of Wales, to be received at the Exchequer at Chester." Richard II demonstrated loyalty and sympathy for his surgeon, when Johns' eyesight was failing. He was released from court duties, and assigned 7 1/2 pence as an esquire of the "Royal body". In an abstract of deeds in Harleian MS (2119-50) it appears that the Leche family were settled in Cardan as early as 20th Edward III, when Eva, widow of Hugh de Warin, releases lands in Cawethin to John Leche and Lucy his wife, (m. 1347) her sister, which Jolui is said to be father of John Leche physician to Edward III who by patent ,50th Edward III was grantee of Castle Warin (Castlewarden) and other lands in Kildare and was father of David the father of John Leche who obtained Lowo' Carden by marriage with Elinor de Cawarden.
