In 1253 Robert Banastre brought proceedings in the King's Court against Peter de Burnhull for felling trees in Walton Wood, and in consequence a perambu- lation was ordered to fix the bounds between Walton and Brindle.^^ The abundance of wood in the northern and eastern parts of the township at this date indicates the aptness of the name 'weald tin.' Banastre obtained in 1257 a charter of free warren here, and in 1278 took action against four of the principal freeholders who had withdrawn their suit from Walton Mill, but they denied his title to the mill.^^ He married in 1269 Alesia relict of Philip de Legh of co. Stafford and daughter of Robert de Grendon of Grendon and Shenstone in the same county, and by this union acquired some small interest in that county.^ Many grants of land were made by Robert.
