In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Combermere like this:
COMBERMERE, a township in Acton parish, Cheshire; 3½ miles N E of Whitchurch. A Benedictine abbey was founded here, in 1133, by Hugh de Malbane; and given, at the dissolution, to the Cottons, ancestors of Viscount Combermere. Combermere Abbey mansion is the Viscount's seat.
