Walton Hall^ Chesterfield. 



[Walton lies a little to the west of Chesterfield. It belonged at 

 this time to the Foljambes. Sir Francis Foljambe, created Bart, 

 in 1622, described in the family history as " a man of a profuse 

 temper and excessive hospitality/'' weakened his estate by ex- 

 travagance, and sold Walton in 16S3. It was occupied (as above- 

 mentioned) in 1609 by Lady Bowes. It is now a farm-house, 

 but must have been of greater size in former times, as Mary, 

 Queen of Scots and her retinue were lodged there one night. 

 (See Hunter's S. Yorkshire, vol. ii., 59.)]
