(Welsh) One who came from Venables or Vignoles (vineyard), in France.
The progenitor of the great Cheshire family was a tenant under Hugh Lupus, temp, William I., whom he had probably accompanied to the Conquest of England. The name is local, from Venables, a parish in the arrondissement of Louviers, in Normandy.
The ancient and notable family of Venables is now established, as it has been for ages, in Cheshire and Shropshire, and it also occurs in North Wales. The parent stock seems to be that of Kinderton in Cheshire, of which the family possessed the lordship from the time of William the Conqueror to the end of the 17th century; Gilbert de Venables was the Norman founder of this family (O.). The Shropshire representatives were probably derived originally from the Cheshire stock. Thomas Venables was a Cheshire gentleman who contributed £25 to the Spanish Armada Fund in 1588 (Sp.).
The ancient and influential family of De Venables or Venables was represented in the county in the 13th and 14th centuries (E. and H. R.).
