"Halle, alias De la Sale, dwellith in a pretty stone house at the east end of the town, on the right bank of Avon: a man of £100 lands by the year: an ancient gentleman since the time of Edward I."

Sale is a name that has been represented for ages in this county. About the time of Edward I., Thomas, son of William De la Sale, held twelve acres of land in Ickleford (Cus.). There was a Robert De la Sale of St. Albans, in the reign of Edward III. (CL). George Sale, the translator of the Koran, was son of a London merchant; he died at Great Marlow, Bucks, in 1737 (CL). According to Cussans, the Hertfordshire Sales hailed from Scotland nearly two centuries ago, and he mentions Francis Sale, a gentleman who was married at Ashwell in 1694. Their early origin, however, may more probably be found within the limits of this county. The present Sales hold extensive estates in Odsey Hundred (Cus.). Sale is also a Derbyshire and a Staffordshire name; in the former county it has probably often been confounded with Seal. Sale is a Cheshire township.
