ARCHAEOLOGICAL GLEANINGS. Ill 



of Joseph Bagnall, of Roehampton, Esq. ; he left his property to 

 his eldest son and heir, Godfrey Bagnall Clarke, Esq., having died 

 before March 9th, 1772. G. B. Clarke dying in 1774 unmarried, 

 the estates passed to his brother Gilbert Clarke, of Aldershot, 

 who, also dying unmarried in 1786, left his property to his sister 

 Sarah, who married, in October 1783, John Hart Price, Esq., of 

 Aldershot who on his marriage took the name and arms of Clarke 

 (Azure 3 escallops in pale or between two flaunches ermine) after 

 and in addition to his own. 



During his ownership, the estates became encumbered to no 

 less a figure than ^68,000. Mrs. Sarah Price Clarke died in 

 December, 1801, having left two children, one son and one 

 daughter ; the son, Godfrey Thomas Robert Price Clarke, his 

 mother's heir, died under age in 1802, when the whole of the 

 estates passed to the daughter Anna Maria Catherine, who, on the 

 17th March, 1805, married the Right Honorable Walter, eighteenth 

 Earl of Ormonde, who was created a Marquis in 1816. The 

 Marchioness of Ormonde died, Dec. 19th, 1817, and her husband 

 died, Aug. loth, 1820, leaving no issue.* 



The Codnor and Heanor part of the estates, comprising about 

 1,000 acres, were sold by the powers of an Act of Parliament by 

 the trustees of the Marquis of Ormonde ; but the Codnor portion 

 of the Estates on which the Chapel stood was sold to Samuel 

 Woolley, of an old yeoman family long settled on their own lands 

 in the neighbourhood, on the 7th April, 1827, and he left the 

 estate to his eldest son, bearing his own name, who died in 1888, 

 having directed his property to be sold. It was purchased on 

 the 23rd February, 1889, by Frederick Channer Corfield, eldest 

 son of the Rev. Frederick Corfield, J. P., late Rector of Heanor, 

 of a family long seated at Chatwall Hall, in the Parish of Car- 

 dington, and before 1530 at Corfield, on the river Corve, in 

 Corvedale, all in Shropshire. 



* Lysons, in his " Derbyshire," page Iv., gives Butler, Marquis of 

 Ormonde, as one of the nobility of the County of Derby, and states that he 

 became possessed of certain estates by marriage with the grand -daughter of 

 G. B. Clarke, Esq. This is clearly a mistake.
