Background
History
Bunbury was reputedly derived from Buna-burh, meaning the "redoubt of Buna". Just prior to the Norman Conquest of 1066 it was held by a certain Dedol of Tiverton. Its name was written as Boleberie in the Domesday Survey of 1086 and the lord of the fief was Robert FitzHugh. Listed as lying in the hundred of Rushton and the county of Cheshire, it had a recorded population of 3 households in 1086, meaning that it was one of smallest 20% of settlements at that time. A Norman family later acquired the surname of De Boneberi, and were linked to Rake Hall during and after the reign of King Stephen. They were allegedly a cadet line of the Norman family of De St Pierre, associated with Hugh "Lupus"…
