Willaston is said to have derived its name from an ancient farmstead called Wiglaf’s tun, like many other English villages that have undergone multiple name changes over the centuries. The proximity of Wistaston, a neighboring parish with a similar-sounding name, added to the confusion. Furthermore, in the past, Willaston was ecclesiastically divided between the neighboring communities of Nantwich and Wybunbury.
Though there are at least two other villages with the name Willaston, the earliest documented mention of Willaston in this Cheshire region dates back to the Domesday survey of 1086. It was then known as Wilavestune and was owned by a ‘free man’ named Ulviet, before passing to William Malbank shortly after the Norman conquest. Subsequently, the manor of Wilvastune was held by the Chanu family in the 13th century.
During those times, Willaston existed as a remote, sparsely populated community with no defined village center, covering a larger area than it does today. It extended from Newcastle Road and London Road in Nantwich to Millstone Lane and the ancient grazing land of Beam Heath in the north. The boundaries remained unchanged until 1936 when some of Willaston’s land was transferred to the growing communities of Nantwich and Stapeley.
In 1553, the manor of Willaston was purchased by Richard Sneyd, Recorder of Chester, whose family owned Keele Hall in Staffordshire and were prominent landowners in Willaston until the mid-19th century.
While Willaston had several farmsteads in the Middle Ages, much of the surrounding landscape remained uncultivated until the late 18th and early 19th centuries when the process of ‘enclosure’ led to significant changes in rural communities. This period saw common land fenced off for arable farming, meadows, and livestock grazing, altering the traditional landscape. Despite being absentee landlords, the Sneyd family held ownership of most of Willaston’s lands from 1533 well into the 19th century.
The medieval moated site of the Chanu family was lost during the construction of the Nantwich by-pass in 1989. Situated southeast of the Old Willaston Board School, the site is now part of the land owned by Cheerbrook Farm.
