In the church at Astbury is an effigy of Sir Ralph Davenport. The monument is in very good
condition – although slightly out of proportion – and there is much detail to be seen.
Davenports were Sergeants of the Peace for the Macclesfield Hundred who had the power of
summary execution of a felon. Sir Ralph died in 1383.
