The Buckley Family
THE NAME BUCKLEY:
The name Buckley is English. It means "one who came from Bulkeley (bullock pasture), in Cheshire, England." The name also means "the handsome cleric or scholar." A town named Buckley is now in Clwyd, Wales, on the border with England. Cheshire is associated with the Earls of Chester. Their castle later was sold to Henry III (who reigned from 1216-1272) in 1264. Beeston Castle of Cheshire was also the stronghold of Richard II. He was said to have hid his royal treasure in Beeston in 1399. Chester, Cheshire was a Royalist town from the start of the English Civil War, and it suffered for its royalty with almost three years of semi-starvation during various sieges. A shrine to St. Walburga, Princess of Mercia is in Chester.
