J.B. Blakeway, The Sheriffs of Shropshire, Shrewsbury 1831, p.38. R.W. Eyton, Antiquities of Shropshire, 1854, vii, p.6, makes suggestion into a fact: "I am entitled, I think, to assume that, soon after Domesday, Roger fitz Corbet built a Castle at Alretune, and called it Caux. This was associating the place with recollections of his won childhood ... for he himself, or his father, came to Shropshire from Pays de Caux in Normandy." He gives no evidence for these assumptions. Statement of Barabara Coulton, The Anglo Norman Corbets © Barbara Coulton. J. C. Nobel, The Corbett One Name Study, TheCorbet Study Group.
