  • Notes 
    • Kinderton was the ancient seat and name of the barony which was given by Hugh Lupus to his kinsman, Gilbert de Venables. This barony is stated to have included upwards of seven and thirty townships, which are enumerated in the Harl. MSS. No. 1967, fol. 104.- The celebrated family of Venables produced a race of warriors: Sir Roger Venables fought on the side of henry III during the barons' war; his son, Sir Wirlliam, distinguished himself in the war of Edward I; Sir Hugh, grandson of Sir William, was a commander under the Black Prince; Sir Hugh's grandson and name-sake was constable of Cheshire, and acquired great renown in the wars against the Scots; his son, Sir Richard, was slain at the battle of Shrewbury, on the side of Mortimer; Sir Hugh Venables, great grandson of Sir Richard, was slain at Blore-heath in 1459; dying without male issue, the manor and barony of Kinderton passed to his aunts and co-heiresses, who married into the families of Bostock and Cotton. Sir Thomas Venables, the heir male of this ancient family, became repossessed of the barony, partly by marriage of his father with a co-heiress of the Cottons, and party by agreement, after long litigation, with the Bostocks. The manor and barony continued with his descendants, who were called barons of Kinderton, until the death of Peter Venables, the last baron of Kinderton, in 1679.
