BASKERVYLE: The same as Buskervilie. According to Ormorod's Cheshire, iii, 355, the Baskervyles of Old Withington, now Glegg, are descended from Sir John Baskervyle, grantee of a moiety of Withirigton in 1266, and that estate has ever since remained in the family.

— Patronymica Britannica (1860) by Mark Antony Lower

A branch of the very ancient and distinguished family of Baskerville, which claims royal descent, possessed the manor of Old Withrington from the 13th to the 18th century (O.). The Herefordshire stock, members of which were high sheriffs of that county in the 15th and 16th centuries, carries its pedigree back to the reign of Edward I. (Duncumb's "Herefordshire"). The Baskervilles were represented in Shropshire in the 13th century (H. R.). In Staffordshire the name has been corrupted to Baskeyfield. In Cheshire the Baskervilles are now mostly found in the Chelford district.
