Combermere is the site of a former abbey, later a country house, in south-west Cheshire. The place gets its name from a lake called Comber Mere. The name also appears in the peerage title, Viscount Combermere. It was Stapleton Cotton, 1st Viscount Combermere, who gave the house a Gothic make-over in the early 19th century. In 1837 his eldest daughter, Caroline Cotton married Arthur Hill, Earl of Hillsborough, later to become the 4th Marquess of Downshire. This marriage tie may be the origin of Combermere Street. Combermere Barracks at Windsor are also named after the 1st Viscount.
