c 1200 Robert de Fulscha granted Fulscha to Richard Fitton. Earwaker states, [1]
This charter is undated; but from the name of the first witness to it, Sir Ralph de Meynwaring (Mainwaring), Knt., Justiciary of Chester, it cannot be later than the year 1209, when he resigned that office, and may be attributed to about the year 1200 ...
Of this interesting charter the following is a translation from the original, written in a large, bold, distinct hand, preserved amongst the muniments at Trafford Park.
Be it known to all persons, both present and to come, that I, Robert, the son of Matthew de Fulscha, have granted, conceded, and by this my present charter have confirmed to Sir Richard Fyton, Knight, all my right and lordship of Fulscha, viz. Fulscha, Chorlegh, Pounale, and Morlegh, with all my land of Ullerswode, viz. as far as the mid-stream of the Siche (usq' in le mid strem del Siche) which comes from the Black lache of Shadoke mosse, and so descending le Siche until it falls into the Bolyne, together with the hamlets of Styhale, Curbichelegh, and Northcliffe, Rylondis, Stanilondis, and Harethorn, and all the lordship pertaining to the said fee. To have and to hold by the said Sir Richard Fyton for ever, &c.; the said Richard paying the sum of £200 sterling.
