72 IZAAK WALTON AND HIS FRIENDS 



of Beresford is the Eev. Gilbert Beresford (see 

 Burhes Peerage for further information of the 

 family). 



In October 1901 the fishing-house and other 

 adjoining property was sold to Mr Frank Green, 

 of Treasurer's House, York. A letter appeared 

 about that time in the Field newspaper suggest- 

 ing that the National Trust for the Preservation 

 of Historic Buildings or some other like body 

 should purchase the fishing-house. It has been 

 stated, however, in the Press, that "this property, 

 is preserved from being broken up and developed 

 for at least some considerable time to come." 



Tissington Hall is the seat of Sir Richard Fitz- 

 Herbert, Bart., whose family has intermarried 

 frequently with the Beresfords, and certain estates 

 of the latter were acquired by the ancestors of the 

 present Baronet.^ The Waterford Beresfords are 

 a younger branch of the English Beresfords, tracing 

 from the sixth son of Thomas Beresford before 

 mentioned, whereas the English Beresfords trace 

 from the fourth son. 



In 1808 a copy of The Complete Angler, with 

 the bands of the book made of wood from the 



one similar effigies for sixteen sons and five daughters, with a long 

 inscription in hexameter verses. There are seven other mural monu- 

 ments to the same family, dating from 1516 to 1815, and a brass to 

 Richard Beresford (1733). Three new windows have recently {i.e., 

 in 1895), been erected by the Beresford (English) family. 



1 Tissington has been in the Fitz-Herbert family since 1466 (see 

 Burhes Peerage). The word was originally spelt "Tiscinctuna."
