A BRIEF HISTORY OF LYME PARK The first owner of the estate was Sir Thomas Danyers in 1346. It was gifted to him by Edward III as a thank you for his service to the Black Prince in the Battle of Crécy. When Sir Thomas died, the estate was passed on to his daughter, Margaret. She married Piers Legh I which started the Leghs of Lyme dynasty in 1388. Richard II is said to have taken favor in Piers and in 1397 granted his family a coat of arms. Unfortunately, two years later, Piers was executed by Richard’s rival, Henry Bolingbroke.View image on Flickr
