The Baskervyles of Chelford & Goostrey
The Baskervyle (Baskerville) Family lived at Baskerville Hall near Chelford - Sir John Baskervyle had acquired the manor house and estate in 1266 from one Robert de Camville. The Hall is sometimes known as "Old Withington" or Withington Hall, and the last owner was the descendant of a Baskervyle who took the name of his wife's family - Glegg. The original Baskervyles (sometimes spelt Baskervyyles) lived there from 1266, and according to the parish records of Prestbury their family remained at "Ould Withington" till around 1570, with a branch of the family, the Baskervyle-Gleggs, moving to Goostry in Cheshire around 1737 onwards and on well into the 1890s.
The family held substantial lands in Cheshire over many centuries including on the Wirral Peninsula. There is an account that during the building of the Hooton to West Kirby branch railway in the 19th century, the landowner, a member of the Baskervyle-Glegg family insisted upon a station being built at Thurstaston, much against the railway company's wishes.
In 1906 John Baskervyle-Glegg of Withington Hall and Egerton Leigh of Joderell Hall are joint Lords of the Manor of Goostry. Both of these families are listed in the 1937 edition of "Burke's Landed Gentry". The last Withington Hall on the site, thought to have been built around 1790, was demolished in 1958.
Sometime around 1865, Lucy Baskervyle Glegg of Withington Hall, was married to the son of the Third Viscount St. Vincent of Norton Disney in Lincolnshire and Sutton-in-Derwant in Yorkshire.
In more modern times, during the mid-1950s a John Baskervyle-Glegg is known to have attended Rugby School. Another celebrated John Baskervyle-Gregg played in the England Cricket team as a member of the Combined Services in 1962. There are other military connections. More recently, the year 2000 Edition of the Royal Horticultural Society's yearbook "The Garden" contained a chapter entitled "A Rector's Pastoral - Adam's Apples" by Diana Baskervyle-Glegg. The Sparkford, branch of the Royal British Legion, near Yeovil in Somerset, currently has a John Baskervyle-Glegg as its President.
