Malpas
After the Norman conquest of 1066 Malpas is recorded as being called Depenbech and is mentioned in the Domesday book of 1086 as belonging to Robert FitzHugh, Baron of Malpas. Malpas and other holdings were given to his family for defensive services along the Welsh border and as reward for services in the Battle of Hastings. The Cholmondeley family who still live locally at Cholmondeley Castle are reputed to be descended from Robert FitzHugh and the half-sister of William the Conqueror. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malpas,_Cheshire" rel="noreferrer nofollow"> Wikipedia</a>
