Warmingham Manor House

In the civil parish of Warmingham.
In the historic county of Cheshire (Modern Authority of Cheshire, 1974 county of Cheshire).

Remains of a medieval moat. Probable site of Warmingham manor house. The moat survives as a wide rectangular pond, now dry, with outer retaining bank. The north and south arms can be traced as a shallow depressions though there is no evidence of the west arm. It is possible that the moat was never completed as the Tithe Award Map does not show a complete circuit. Emery writes Sir Thomas Trussell obtained a licence to crenellate in 1349. I can't find this in the Calendars of Charter or Patent Rolls. Was this a Chester licence? In 1349 William Trussell held the manor. The only Thomas Trussel to hold the manor dates to 3-20 Edw VI (1460-80)
