• "V. Hugh de Venables, son and heir of William, grants to his son Roger, by deed (24) without date (witnessed by Charles abbot of Stanlaw, Roger abbot of Chester, and others), his lands in Eccleston, and the advowson of the church, to the intent that he should endow with ten pounds worth of land in the same, his wife Alice, daughter of Alan de Peninton; to the same Roger he grants the manor of Witton, and the advowson of Routhestorne (25) : to this deed he affixes a seal charged with the present coat of Venables, and circumscribed "SIGILLUM HUGON' DE VENABLES." He occurs in various other deeds relating to Rosthorne (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 61), and by the deed last cited grants the fourth of that vill to his daughter Elizabeth, who occurs from 1253 to 1261, after this grant (40, 41, 42). He had also issue Beatrix, wife of Roger de Toft." [He further occurs in a charter, temp. Hen. III. by which he grants, with the consent of his wife Agnes, all his land in Morisbarue which Randle de Ox’on gave him in frank-marriage with Agnes his daughter, to William de Venables (probably his brother), as appears in the account of Moorsbarrow-cum-Parme.]"

  • “4. HUGH VENABLES — The first known member of the family to be named Hugh was the lord of Kinderton from about 1240 for only six or seven years. It seems that the seal he used on charters is the first evidence of the coat of arms bearing the two bars. For some reason these arms appear painted among the spandrals of the wall-arcade on the south side of the nave in Westminster Abbey. The arms are alongside those of Roger de Monte Alto (1265-97); others in the arcade include: William, Earl of Ferrers and Derby (1239-79), William Longespee, Earl of Salisbury (1193-1254), William de Valence, Earl of Pembroke (d.1296), Roger de Mortimer (1231-1282), William de Percy (1192-45), Roger de Clifford (1189-1232), Roger de Somery (1208-73) and John de Verdon (1256-95); Ful Fitz Warren (b. 1220-64) and Robert de Thweng (1205-68).{Fn: Inventory of Monuments of Westminster Abbey. The Church; in An Inventory of the Historical Monuments in London, Volume 1, Westminster Abbey (London, 1924), pp. 17-76. British History Online.}
  • Each of these men lived in the mid- to late-13th century, but what do they have in common. Given their dates it would suggest that it is this Hugh Venables, or his son, who is commemorated here - but why?{Fn: The painted inscription says Roger Venables but that was repainted in 1954 and is not necessarily the original name.} At one time the arms of Vernon, Malpas appeared on the north side of the nave, thus giving four of the eight ancient baronies of Cheshire being represented. Apart from the Lord Edward, later King Edward I, all Henry Ill's near relatives who were living when the Abbey was being rebuilt are represented in this range of shields. We find the arms of his brothers and brothers-in-law, his younger son and his sons-in-law. Do the arms represent benefactors?”
