User-submitted Reference

The surname is one of the many new names that came to England following the Norman Conquest of 1066. The name Larche is for a bowman or archer. The surname Larche was originally derived from the Old French word archer, and the preposition le, which means 'the', which is abbreviated to l' when placed next to a vowel, as in l'archer. The ancient chronicles of England and early records of the name Larche, show it to be an old Norman surname. The history of the name is closely interwoven within the majestic tapestry as an intrinsic part of the history of Britain. In-depth research by skilled analysts into ancient manuscripts such as the Domesday Book (compiled in 1086 by William the Conqueror), the Ragman Rolls, the Wace poem, the Honour Roll of the Battel Abbey, the Curia Regis, Pipe Rolls, the Falaise Roll, tax records, baptismals, family genealogies, local parish and church records, shows that the Larche name was first found in Derbyshire and Nottingham, where they were granted lands by King William, Duke of Normandy, for their assistance at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 A.D. William L'Archairus, was General of bowmen for Duke William, and he was granted the Hundred of Sunburne in Hampshire in the year 1086. He was so recorded in the Domesday Book. Both William L'Archer and his son were, according to Barlow, and his 'Peerage of England,' at the Conquest.
