Profile

The name is unique in DB. A second manor at Lach Dennis belonged TRE to Colben 2 (Ches. 26:12). Each manor was assessed at ½ hide and had land for 1 plough. Together with the fact that both men had names of Scandinavian origin and were of similar status, this looks like a recent division between close kinsmen. The vill was called Lach (Lece) in 1086, but its later name, Lach Dennis, included a suffix probably formed from the adjective Danish, perhaps in reference to the origin of a family whose members evidently still possessed it in 1066 (PN Ches. II, 186–8).
