From Fittons & Venables of Bolyn East Cheshire: Past and Present: Or, A History of the Hundred of Macclesfield, in the County Palatine of Chester. From Original Records, Volume 1 (Google eBook) John Parsons Earwaker. The author, 1877 - Cheshire.  Page 44.

"The Sir Richard Fitton who thus obtained possession of the extensive lordship of Fulshaw, was succeeded by his son Sir Richard Fitton, who was Justiciary of Chester in the early part of the reign of Henry III., 1233 to 1236. He granted the manor of Fulshaw to the knights of the order of St. John of Jerusalem, as is more fully described in the history of that township; by which means it became separated from the original lordship, and ever afterwards remained so. In deeds relating to this Sir Richard Fitton we find the first mention of the " lordship of Bolyn," a name rendered necessary by the severance of the manor of Fulshaw from the original lordship. In a deed without date, but c. 1237, John Scot, Earl of Chester and Huntingdon [123310 1237], grants to Richard Fyton of Bolyn, and his heirs, acquittance for himself and his tenants from putureg and from all toll throughout Cheshire, and from finding judgers (judicatores) for the fee of Fulshaw in the Hundred of Macclesfield, which he and his ancestors had been accustomed to do. The Earl commands due observance of this grant from his tenants and their heirs under a penalty of £$0. These being witnesses :—William de Cantelupe junior, Robert de Champayn (Campana), Roger Montalt, seneschal of Chester,11 Warin de Vernon, Hamo de Mascy, William de Venables, William de Malpas, Richard de Kingsley, and Richard de Wibbenbury, then Sheriff of Chester, Peter and Richard, the clerks, and others.1

In the 30th Henry III. [1246] an Inquisition-post mortem was held after the death of this Richard Fitton, when it was found that he held the manors of Bolyn and Fallinbrome of the King as Earl of Chester in capite by knight's service, and " that he was accustomed to come to Chester in the time of war {in exercitu) with the whole of his family, horses, and arms; and that he held two bovates of land, valued at 50 shillings per annum, for which he paid xviij chickens {pullos)* per annum."

Conan had no children, and his inheritance was divided between his aunts Beatrice, Parnel and Constance. (fn. 13) William de Lascelles, son of Parnel, and Elias de Crakehall, son of Constance, (fn. 14) granted their parts to their heir Sir Richard Fitton (fn. 15) of Bollin in Cheshire; but the part of Beatrice, who married one of the family of Hornby, was retained by her descendants until her greatgrandson Thomas de Hornby (fn. 16) in 1241 granted half of one third of the capital messuage and fish-pond to Sir Richard Fitton (fn. 17) in exchange for a quitclaim in Smeaton. (fn. 18) This Sir Richard was seneschal of the Earl of Richmond for eighteen years in the time of Ranulph Earl of Chester (fn. 19) (1181–1232).
