The Touchet surname in historical dictionaries

Patronymica Britannica (1860)

TOUCHET. A parish in the arrondissement of Mortain in Kormandy, latinized Tuschetum. From that place no doubt proceeded the great A. Norm, family, afterwards ennobled as Barons Audley. In the alliterative copy of the so-called BattelAbbey Roll, Tuchet and Truchelle occur in association, which is qnantmnvaleat evidence of the Norman origin of the name. It is stated, however, that, at a later period, one Orme, who from his musical talents acquired the cognomen of " the Harper," was the first bearer of the name, and that he was sometimes called ' Citharista ' or ''Touch-it."' See Sir P. Leycester's Tabley MSS., quoted in Ormerod's Cheshire iii. 23.
