412 Notices of Heathpool. B_y James Hardy. 



Thomas, first Lieut. Royal Marines, who died in Jamaica, 1807.* 



Inquiring at the Rev. P. G. MacDouall, formerly vicar of Kirknewton, 

 he writes, dated at Stoney Stratford, Nov. 1, 1888 : " I remember the name 

 ' Werge ' very well ; if I remember right the Vicar of K.N., of that name 

 was a grandfather (he was farther back than that) of the Reeds who 

 occupied Heathpool when I was at K.N. Another ancestor of the Reeds 

 was the owner of Heathpool. I do not think that any of the family in the 

 direct line are living. I buried the two brothers that I was acquainted 

 with." 



Lord Colliugwood left two daughters, Sarah, born in May, 1792, 

 married to G-. L. Newnham Colliugwood, Esq., F.R.S., editor of his 

 correspondence ; and Mary Patience, born 1793, married to Anthony 

 Denny, Esq. Mrs. Denny was lost to her infant family, by her death in 

 1822. I have no record of the death of the older daughter ; but she 

 appears to have had no descendants. In June, 1826, Anthony Denny, 

 Esq., Elstree, Herts, had a vote for " lands at Heathpool." In 1852, 

 Cuthbert Collingwood Denny, Bercham, Hants, was on the Register of 

 Voters for Heathpool. In 1878, July 31, Heathpool estate was sold in 

 London, and purchased by Mr H. T. Morton, the present proprietor. 



Access was given to the Ford Papers to which I am so much indebted in 

 the early part of this article, by Mr R. G. Bolam, our zealous antiquarian 

 Club member, who has also supplied other information. I owe the woodcut 

 of Heathpool Farm and Peel Tower, to Mrs. Rule, Wooler Mill, Wooler. 

 It first appeared as an illustration in a local brochure of Poems by her 

 brother, T. G. Shield, son of Mr George Shield, the Naturalist, Wooler.
