The Baron Sheffield, Stanley of Alderley and Eddisbury (1783, known as the Lord Stanley of Alderley)
LECONFIELD or LECKONFIELD is a parish and township containing 3,629 acres (including 28 acres of water), belonging chiefly to Lord Leconfield, who is also lord of the manor.
Henry Algernon, the fifth earl, maintained at his castles of Leconfield and Wressil a splendour and hospitality scarcely inferior to that of the royal court.
On the death of Joceline Percy, 11th Earl, without male issue, in 1670, his manor of Leconfield passed to his grandson, Algernon Seymour, Duke of Somerset, from whom it descended to the Wyndhams, and thence to the present owner, whose father was created BaronLeconfield, in 1859.
