THE FAMILY OF ALFORD.

The command of the Castle appears to have been regarded as hereditary, for Robertus de Aldford was succeeded by his son, Richard Aldford, living in the time of King John, who married Sara, dau. of Richard Fitz- Eustace, Baron of Halton. To him succeeded his son, also Richard de Aldford, who held Aldford, and the manor of Newton, Sussex. By one of these Aldford Hall was built, a neighbouring mansion, afterwards used as a farm house, and now rebuilt. It was, however, "for many generations the seat and manor of the ancient family of the Aldfords, who acquired it by grant from one of the Earls of Chester".

Although these early members of the family were thus Lords of Aldford, they were not barons or peers, but "tenants in chief of the crown by military service". The title, therefore, was dependent upon the office, and was not hereditary.

The Castle of Aldford had an ancient claim upon lands at Barrington and Chillington, in the county of Somerset, for the provision of a man to serve at that Castle in time of war.

The direct male line of the family became extinct in 1202, when Margaret, daughter and heiress of Richard de Aldford, last named, married Sir John Arderne. The chief part of the property thus passed to the Ardernes, through them to the Fittons and Grosvenors, and was eventually sold.

Younger branches, however, still continued, in Thomas, who took the name of his wife and her property, and in Robert de Alford, whose descendants for several genera- tions held the manor, though not the Castle, of Aldford, but at length sold it.
