Sallett is a name of ancient Anglo-Saxon origin and comes from the family once having lived in the county of Cheshire, where they held the estate of Sale.

In this case the original bearers of the surname Sallett were either servants at the hall or resided near a dining hall. 1 Early Origins of the Sallett familyThe surname Sallett was first found in Cheshire but the family can be found throughout ancient Britain in early years.

Robert de la Sale was Bailiff of Norwich in 1327. 2 "About the time of Edward I., Thomas, son of William De la Sale, held twelve acres of land in Ickleford, Hertfordshire. According to Cussans, the Hertfordshire Sales hailed from Scotland nearly two centuries ago, and he mentions Francis Sale, a gentleman who was married at Ashwell in 1694." 3 Early History of the Sallett familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Sallett research.
