APPENDICES, INTRODUCTION AFTER reading Colonel Chippindall's Memoirs of Lieu­ tenant-Colonel Samuel Gledhill, and the late Mr. Jackson's article on the Richmond Family, it struck me that it might be interesting if I were to try and piece together some further notes on our family history, and the outcome of this idea is embodied in Notes on our Family History. These notes make no pretence to any originality. I have simply strung together information which 1· have acquired from various sources ; the idea which has been in my mind is that the information which I have got together might be of interest to a considerable number of people, not only in the present, but in the future. In all cases when it has been practicable to do so, I have stated from what sources my information has been derived. If it had not been for the original research of Colonel Chippindall these notes could never have been compiled. I am indebted to Sir Matthew Hale, and to Whitaker's .Craven, for a great deal of my information about the Clifford family : about the Richmonds to the late Mr.Jackson, F.S.A., and also to Mr. Jackson for some information about the x SOME NOTES ON OUR FAMILY HISTORY Lowthers. Colonel Chippindall has kindly supplied practi­ cally all the information about the Gledhills, Armstrongs, Baynes, and Higgins. The Yerburgh information I have got together myself, but I have got a great deal of information about the Yorkshire Yarburghs from the Rev. C. B. Robinson's History of the Priory and Peculiar of Snaith. The information about the Percies and the Barony of Gillsland is derived from the Encyclopcedia Britannica and Ferguson's History of Cumberland.· SKELETON PEDIGREE showing the descent in the Female Line of the Family of Y ERBURGH of W oodfold Park, Lancashire, and Freeby, Leicestershire, etc., from the HousE OF CLIFFORD.

THE EARLY CLIFFORDS A THE EARLY CLIFFORDS To do anything like justice to the history of this great family a volume rather than a chapter would be needed. Viewed as a whole, that history, from its romantic interest, from the strange vicissitudes of fortune it presents, -from its really national import, is a most remarkable one. Long before the martial achievements of the first Clifford of Skipton, members of the family had distinguished them­ selves on the field, and the deeds of these are recorded in history. The first of this ancient family of whom Dugdale takes notice was called Ponce, or Pont or Fitz Pont. One of this line came over with the Conqueror and acquired Clifford Castle in Herefordshire. The first Ponce is represented as leaving three sons, Walter and Dru, considerable landed proprietors in the Conqueror's survey. RICHARD FITZPONCE, a personqge of rank in the time of Richard I. and a liberal benefactor to the Church. This Richard left also three sons, of whom the second, Walter, having obtained Clijford Castle in Herefordshire with his wife Margaret, daughter of Ralph de Toney, a descendant from William Fitzosborn, Earl of Hereford, by whom the castle was erected, assumed thence his surname and became WALTER DE CLIFFORD. This feudal lord was in influence 3 4 SOME NOTES ON OUR FAMILY HISTORY in the reign of Henry II. From very early . times the Cliffords were custodians of the Castle of York, whence one of its ancient towers is known as Clifford Tower. They also claimed the right of bearing the city sword on the occasion of a royal visit (vide Progresses of King James I., vol. i. p. 78). This Walter de Clifford left at his decease two sons and two daughters: WALTER, his heir. RICHARD, from whom the Cliffords of Frampton in Gloucestershire descended.

II )2 < 7-'/ < INTRODUCTION. ^/^Sn i Chronology, so in Genealogy there are certain landmarks. Thus,n i France, to trace back to Charlemagne is the desideratum ; in England, to the Norman Con quest; and in the New England States, to the Puri tans, or first settlement of the country. The origin of but few nations or individuals can be precisely traced or ascertained. " The lapse of ages is inces santly thickening the veil which is spread over remote objects and events. The light becomes fainter as we proceed, the objects more obscure and uncertain, until Time at length spreads her sable mantle over them, and we behold them no more." Its i stated, among the librarians and officers of historical institutions in the Eastern States, that not two per cent of the inquirers succeed in establishing the connection between their ancestors here and the family abroad. Most of the emigrants 2 I NTROD UCTION. fled f rom religious persecution, and, instead of pro mulgating their derivation or history, rather sup pressed all knowledge of it, so that their descendants had no direct traditions. On this account it be comes almost necessary to give the descendants separately of each of the original emigrants to this country, with a general account of the family abroad, as far as it can be learned from history, without trusting too much to tradition, which however is often the only source of information on these matters.

  • Political Society in Cumberland and Westmorland 1471-1537
    Political Society in Cumberland and Westmorland 1471-1537 By Edward Purkiss, BA (Hons). Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. School of History and Classics University of Tasmania. 2008. This Thesis contains no material which has been accepted for a degree or diploma by the University or any other institution, except by way of background information and duly acknowledged in the thesis and to the best of my knowledge and belief no material previously published or written by another person except where due acknowledgement is made in the text of the thesis, nor does the thesis contain any material that infringes copyright. 30 May, 2008. I place no restriction on the loan or reading of this thesis and no restriction, subject to the law of copyright, on its reproduction in any form. 11 Abstract The late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries have often been seen as a turning point in the development of the English state. At the beginning of the period the authority of the Crown was offset by powerful aristocratic interests in many regional areas. By the mid sixteenth century feudal relationships were giving way to a centrally controlled administration and government was reaching into regional political communities through direct connections between the Crown and local gentlemen. This thesis will trace these developments in Cumberland and Westmorland. It will argue that archaic aspects of government and society lingered longer here than in regions closer London. Feudal relationships were significant influences on regional political society well beyond the mid sixteenth century. This was a consequence of the area's distance from the centre of government and its proximity to a hostile enemy.

It does not, however, constitute a definitive statement as to the status of any particular highway. • This is not a comprehensive list of the entire highway network in Cumbria although the majority of streets are included for information purposes. • The extent of the highway maintainable at public expense is not available on the list and can only be determined through the search process. • The List of Streets is a live record and is constantly being amended and updated. We update and republish it every 3 months. • Like many rural authorities, where some highways have no name at all, we usually record our information using a road numbering reference system. Street descriptors will be added to the list during the updating process along with any other missing information. • The list does not contain Recorded Public Rights of Way as shown on Cumbria County Council’s 1976 Definitive Map, nor does it contain streets that are privately maintained. • The list is property of Cumbria County Council and is only available to the public for viewing purposes and must not be copied or distributed.

  • Unitarian Members of Parliament in the Nineteenth Century
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Stirling Online Research Repository Unitarian Members of Parliament in the Nineteenth Century A Catalogue D. W. Bebbington Professor of History, University of Stirling The catalogue that follows contains biographical data on the Unitarians who sat in the House of Commons during the nineteenth century. The main list, which includes ninety-seven MPs, is the body of evidence on which the paper on „Unitarian Members of Parliament in the Nineteenth Century‟ is based. The paper discusses the difficulty of identifying who should be treated as a Unitarian, the criterion chosen being that the individual appears to have been a practising adherent of the denomination at the time of his service in parliament. A supplementary list of supposed Unitarian MPs, which follows the main list, includes those who have sometimes been identified as Unitarians but who by this criterion were not and some who may have been affiliated to the denomination but who were probably not. The borderline is less sharp than might be wished, and, when further research has been done, a few in each list may need to be transferred to the other. Each entry contains information in roughly the same order. After the name appear the dates of birth and death and the period as an MP. Then a paragraph contains general biographical details drawn from the sources indicated at the end of the entry. A further paragraph discusses religious affiliation and activities. Unattributed quotations with dates are from Dod’s Parliamentary Companion, as presented in Who’s Who of British Members of Parliament.
