2. Surname: 

Sir William de Notton, or Norton (died c.1365) was an English landowner and judge, who had a highly successful career in both England and Ireland, culminating in his appointment as Lord Chief Justice of Ireland in 1361.

He belonged to the landowning family of de Notton, who took their name from Notton in West Yorkshire.

By the time of his birth, however, Notton had already passed to the Darcy family.

Gilbert Notton: "The earliest record of Cadishead date to 1212, and show that the whole of Cadishead – then called Cadewalesate – was rented from King John by Gilbert Notton for four shillings (20p) a year, a sum equivalent to about £650 today."
