74 REPORT OF THE MEETINGS FOR 1896 



Charles Ewer, the assignees of the estate of the said bankrupt.' — 



Newcastle Courant, 2nd Sept., 1732. 



' All the groceries and other merchant goods lately belonging to 



Mr John Threlkeld of Newcastle, are to be sold at a very reasonable 



rate.' — Newcastle Courant, 14th Oct., 1732. 

 Deodatus Threlkeld died on the 26th Feb. 1732, and is 

 buried in the chancel of Hebburn. He devised Tritlington 

 (subject to an annuity to his son John, who voted for the same 

 in 1748) to his youngest son Thomas. The latter sold the 

 estate in fourths in 1784, to John Sadler of ...., Thomas 

 Potts of Morpeth, Robert Smith of Plessy, and to Thomas Davison. 

 The heirs of the first mentioned have gradually acquired the 

 shares of the others. 



After leaving Tritlington it was determined, on account of 

 the persistent rain, to abandon the visit to Paxton Dene, and to 

 proceed to Longhorsley. By the unexpected and unobserved 

 adoption by the driver of the road past Fenrother and by 

 Longhorsley Moor, the party unfortunately missed the Rev. 

 Matthew Culley, who had driven by Cawsey Park (as had been 

 arranged) to meet them. In his absence the members partook 

 of his hospitality at Longhorsley Tower, and examined the 

 ancient mansion of the Horsley family. 



The drive back to Morpeth was by way of Heron's Close and 

 Espley. At the dinner at the Newcastle House at Morpeth, 

 the President was requested to transmit the special thanks of 

 the Club to Mr Culley, and to convey an expression of regret 

 that the train service did not allow them the satisfaction of 

 awaiting his return.
