The history of the last name Cesspooch

The surname CESSPOOCH traces its origins back to the northeastern regions of medieval England, particularly in areas surrounding Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. It is believed to have derived from an old Anglo-Saxon phrase, "ces pocc," which loosely translates to "pit of cessation" or "cesspool." This linguistic connection suggests that the earliest bearers of this name may have resided near or worked in areas associated with waste disposal or sewage management.

One of the earliest known mentions of the CESSPOOCH name can be found in the Domesday Book of 1086, a comprehensive record of landholdings and taxation commissioned by William the Conqueror. The entry refers to a person identified as "Cessepoche of Scunthorpe," indicating the name's presence in the region during the late 11th century.

In the 13th century, historical records mention a Richard CESSPOOCH, who was a prominent merchant and landowner in the city of York. His successful trading ventures and land acquisitions contributed to the family's prosperity and likely aided in the dissemination of the name across neighboring counties.

During the 15th century, a notable figure bearing the CESSPOOCH name was Margaret CESSPOOCH (1421-1487), a respected herbalist and midwife who practiced her craft in the village of Kettlethorpe. Her expertise in traditional medicine and childbirth assistance earned her a reputation that extended beyond her local community.

In the 16th century, the CESSPOOCH family produced a notable scholar and theologian, Robert CESSPOOCH (1512-1582). Born in Lincolnshire, he attended Cambridge University and later became a prominent figure in the Church of England, serving as the Bishop of Lincoln from 1560 until his death.

Another significant individual with the CESSPOOCH surname was Sir Thomas CESSPOOCH (1637-1712), a military officer who fought in the English Civil War and later served as a member of Parliament. His bravery and leadership during the conflict earned him knighthood and recognition from the Crown.

Over the centuries, variations in spelling emerged, including CESSPOOCH, CESSPOCH, CESSPOUGH, and CESSPOUGE, reflecting the regional dialects and phonetic adaptations common in pre-modern English. While the name's exact origins remain shrouded in uncertainty, the CESSPOOCH surname has endured as a unique and intriguing part of England's rich onomastic heritage.
