''Wrenbury and Marbury'' (The Local History Group; 1999) (ISBN 0 9522284 5 9)〕 The village appears in the Domesday Book as ''Wiresuelle'', an outlying estate of Marbury.〔 Like much of the land in the Nantwich hundred it was then held by William Malbank, having been earlier held by Earl Harold. The Domesday Book describes it as being 'waste', suggesting that any settlement might have been destroyed during the suppression of the rebellion of 1069–70. In 1288, it formed part of the barony of Wich Malbank.〔 In 1656, Wirswall (then spelled ''Wyrsal'') was held by the Hinton family.〔 The population was formerly 103 (1801), 83 (1851), 138 (1901) and 169 (1951).〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wirswall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
