Waldeve de Walton

(Abt 1091 - Bef 1189)

[James H. Maloney.ged]

About 1153, William, son of King Stephen, made a grant covering Walton, Wavertree, and Newsham, to his servant Waldeve, with the office of master-serjeant or bailiff of the wapentake of West Derby.
[ Note: King Stephen died in Oct 1154, and his son William, born about 1135, would have been of age about the time of his older brother's death in 1153. William, who was passed over in the settlement that brought Henry II to the throne at Stephen's death, died about 1160.]

Waldeve, or Waltheof, is the subject of an interesting notice in the Pipe R. of Worces. and Staffs. Henry II, journeying through Staffs. in 1157, halted at Chesterton, and 'took up his lodgings in the house of Waldeve de Walton. The house was burnt, probably owing to the carelessness or insobriety of some of the king's attendants. The king recompensed his host munificently. He gave him by charter thirty solidates of land in Chesterton or its adjuncts.' Pipe R. 4 Hen. II (ed. Hunter), 156; Staffs. Hist. Coll. ii, 81, 87; and Lancs. Pipe R. 111.
