woods and lanes. But so greatly did his master 

 appreciate open-air exercise to the last, that old 

 Burgess was not able to give him enough ; so a 

 terrace was made 220 yards long, with a wire beside 

 it. With his stick on the wire Warburton would 

 pace to and fro here alone, a bell at each end of the 

 wire warning him when he had reached the end of 

 his tether. For the last twenty years of Warburton's 

 life, after his wife's death, his youngest daughter, 

 Mrs. Ussher, her husband and children, lived with 

 him at Arley. 



Rowland Egerton- Warburton breathed his last at 

 Arley Hall on 6th December 1891. No pomp of 

 plumes or gloomy mourning-coaches were suffered 

 to mark the close of this gentle life. The body 

 was laid on a lorry draped with scarlet cloth and 

 drawn by the workmen on the estate for three miles 

 through the leafless woods to its resting-place in the 

 churchyard of Great Budworth. 



Rowland Egerton- Warburton is survived by his 

 son, Piers Egerton-Warburton, who represented Mid- 

 Cheshire in Parliament from 1876 to 1885.
