Robert from Walton Hall. He was informed by the sheriff that "he would be fined 100 £

was not settled until 1426 when Robert was awarded 1/3 of Walton Manor in lieu

The Fazakerley's were Roman Catholic and Royalists during the time of the civil war, and this cost them dearly. On the 12th of May 1649, parliament awarded the town of Liverpool the sum of £10,000 to be "extracted" from five families in the area, one of which was the Fazakerley family. The lands of both Nicholas Fazakerley of Fazakerley Hall (killed in the war, in Liverpool, aged 41 in Oct 1643) and his father Robert Fazakerley of Spellow House, Walton (killed in the war, in Chester, 5th April 1643.) were confiscated by parliament and sold.
