A HISTORY OF DURHAM 



and daughter of his daughter Elizabeth wife of Josias 

 Lambert, Alice wife of Sir William Blakiston, his 

 daughter, and Anne wife of William Jenison, a third 

 daughter." 



Cassandra Lambert subsequently married Francis 

 Morley of Wennington in Lancashire. In 1608 

 Francis Morley and Cassandra 

 his wife mortgaged or sold 

 their third part of messuages 

 and lands in Redmarshall, 

 Carlton and Stillington to 

 John Girlington,** and in 

 1 6 10 the three sold the 

 same to Anthony Buckle of 

 Whitton.19 In 1616 Chris- 

 topher Place of Uinsdalc and 

 Christopher his :on and heir 

 purchased this part.-" The 



moline trwitie, 



et a croti 



elderChristopher died in 1624 

 holding of the bishop a third 

 part of the manor of Redmarshall with lands and 

 tenements there.-' In 1650 it was purchased from 

 Roland Place by Robert or John Bromley,*- and from 

 Robert Bromley it passed in 171 3 to his grandson 

 Robert Spearman, who in February 1719-20 trans- 

 ferred it to his father, Gilbert Spearman.-^ The 

 Spearman trustees in 1750 sold it to John Tempest of 

 Wynyard, from whom it has descended to the 

 Marquess of Londonderry, the present lord of this part 

 of the manor.-'' 



Sir William Blakiston had by inheritance an estate 

 in Redmarshall in addition to that third part brought 

 by his wife. Ralph de Rounton (Rungcton) was in 

 1339 said to hold two messuages and 24 acres of land 

 in Redmarshall of Henry de Langton by a rent of I iJ. 

 His heir was a son Willi.im de Blakiston, aged thirty.-' 

 This son appears to be the William who in 1349 ''^''^ 

 much the same estate, the heir being a nephew, John 

 Roland of Butterwick.-'' The holding seems to have 

 passed to the main branch of the Blakiston family. 

 Nicholas Blakiston of Blakiston in i 460 had a messuage 

 in Redmarshall and 50 acres in Carlton,-' which de- 

 scended with the manor of Blakiston (q.v.) in Norton 

 to the above-named Sir William. He, in conjunction 

 with Alice his wife and Thomas his son and heir, sold 

 the third part of the manor and lands in 1 6 1 2 to 

 Michael Forwood.^" The purchaser in the same year 

 sold it to John Cooke of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, 

 draper.^' 



Of the remaining third part of the manor William 



Jenison and Anne his wife made a feoffment in 

 1595.^" In 161 1 William Jenison sold his third part 

 of the manor to John Cooke,^' who, as stated above, 

 afterwards purchased another third part. The new 

 owner died on 2 September 1616 holding two-thirds 

 of the manor of Redmarshall of the bishop, and 

 leaving a son Timothy, then sixteen years of age, to 

 inherit ; livery was granted in 1623.^^ Timothy Cooke 

 died in possession in 1636, his son Thomas being his 

 heir.33 



The later descent of this part of the manor cannot 

 be certainly traced. In 1684 the Rev. Thomas 

 Davison was among the freeholders, and in 173 1 

 Thomas and Philip (?) Davison conveyed five mes- 

 suages and 700 acres in Wynyard and Redmarshall to 

 John Turner.^'' 



Some other estates are noticed in the inquisitions. 

 John Emmeson was in I 349 found to have held two 

 messuages in Redmarshall of Henry de Langton by 

 fealty only ; his son and heir John was thirty years 

 old.'* John de Redmarshall in 1375 held a messuage 

 of Simon de Langton by id. rent ; his heir was a son 

 William, aged twenty-one.'^ Robert de Fetherston- 

 haugh of Stanhope, in or before i 3 74, held 2 oxgangs of 

 land of Simon de Langton by i 2d. rent,'' and his son 

 William in 1399 held a toft and 20 acres of Thomas 

 de Langton.'*" Robert Culy of Stockton, whose name 

 occurs in 1388,'^ died in November 1422 holding a 

 messuage in Redmarshall of the bishop by knights' 

 service and suit of court ; his son John, aged thirty, 

 was heir.''" There is probably a mistake in the age 

 stated, for John Culy died in 1426, leaving a son 

 William, aged twenty-four.'" The latter died in 

 1428, leaving a brother Thomas to succeed him.''^ 

 Thomas was succeeded by his son Thomas.'" John 

 Hartburne died in 1478 holding a tenement of the 

 heirs of Thomas Langton ^' ; his son and heir 

 William was forty years of age, and did homage on 

 livery of the lands.''* 



John Eden about 1609 sold a messuage and 

 I 50 acres in Redmarshall to Leonard Harrison,'"' who 

 was in 1627 succeeded by his grandson Robert, aged 

 eleven, son of his son Robert. Livery was not, 

 however, obtained before February 1638-9.''' Robert 

 Jamson (? Janison), as a Royalist, had his land 

 sequestered by the Parliament in 1644.''*' 



The freeholders in 1684 were Robert Bromley, 

 the Rev. Thomas Davison, John Shippardson, Robert 

 Stelling, William Williamson and Timothy Wright.*'
