This Township, in the ancient record of Doomsday-book, is written Duntune: Dun, In the old Saxon language, signifies A Hill, for, which we now use the word Down: So that Duntune signifies as much as A Town upon a Hill or Down; now contracted to Dutton.
The Mannor-house of Dutton is well seated, and hath great store of meadowing by the River side belonging to the Demain, which is accounted the largest and best Demain in within our County, comprehending 1400 Statute Acres by Survey. This House standeth upon a pleasant Prospect to the opposite Hills of the Forest; and bath in it an ancient Chappel, built first by Sir Thomas Dutton towards the end of Henry the Third's Reign; unto whom Roger de Lincoln then Prior of Norton, and the Convent there, did grant liberam Cantariam in Capellis suis de Dutton & Weston infra Limites Parochiarum nostrarum de Budworth & de Runcorne; id est, Free liberty of Reading Divine Service, or Singing the same; so as the Mother-Churches receive no detriment either in their greater or lesser Tythes. That of Weston is long since vanished; but this Chappel at Dutton yet reInains, and is now a Domestick Chappel within the Mannor-House, of Dutton, unto which Sir Piers Dutton, of Hatton, after be was adjudged next Heir Male to the Lands of Dutton by the Award of Henry the Eighth, did annex his new Buildings at Dutton, Anno Domini 1539, as appears by the Inscription round about the Hall of Dutton yet extant, adjoining those unto the Chappel, and so making it as one continued Building; before which time the old House stood a little distance from the Chappel aforesaid.

Hugh de Dutton, Son of Hugh, Son of Hodard, had the Lands which His father Hugh held of the Baron of Halton, confirmed unto him by William, son of Nigell, Constable to Randle the Second, and by William his son, on that day when the said William the Father, and William the son, did visit Hugh, the son of Hodard on his Death-bed at Kekwick; at which time Hugh, the son of Hodard, gave unto William the Father his Coat of Mail and his Charging-Horse; and Hugh, the son-of that Hugh, gave unto William the son, a Palfrey and a Sparrow-hawk. This was about the end of the Reign of King Henry the First. The Lands here confirmed. I conceive to be Weston and Kekwick, and perhaps some others.
This Hugh de Dutton had Issue, Hugh Dutton, son and Heir; Adam de Dutton, another son, from whom the Warburtons of Arley are descended; Geffrey de Dutton, another son, from whom the Duttons of Chedill in this county were propagated, who assumed the sir-name of Chedill, and continued to the Reign of Edward the Third, till Sir Roger de Chedill, (the last of that family,) dying I Edw. 3, 1327 left his Inheritance to be shared by his two daughters and heirs, Clemence and Agnes; and out of that family de Chedill, branched Hamon Dutton under Edward the First, younger son to Sir Geffrey Dutton Of Chedill, to whom his father gave Ashley, (13, Ed. 1, 1285,) which he purchased for him.
The posterity of this Hamon assumed the sir-name of Ashley from the place of their residence, as was the manner of those ages; which Family of the Ashley's of Ashley continued to the end of Henry the Eighth; about which time Thomasin, daughter and heir of George Ashley of Ashley, Esquire, brought that Inheritance to Richard Brereton of Lea-Hall, not far from Middlewich, by marriage, who was a younger son of Sir William Brereton of Brereton in this county; in which name of Brereton of Ashley it continued but four descents, and was divided among the three sisters of Thomas Brereton, (the last Brereton of Ashley,) and their heirs, Anno Domini 1661.
