110 AvLhle and Bauxley. By J. C. Hodgson. 



crop at Hadston to his wife Aim : he names three sons — William, 

 John, and L'obert, and desires that his body may be buried in 

 Warkworth choir. In 1661 John Carr of Hauxley Link-house 

 desires to be buried in the choir of Warkworth, mentions his 

 uncle William Widdrington of Todburn, and devises 'all' to his 

 brother William, he paying his funeral charges and debts. In 

 1663 Wm. Carr was rated at £13 in respect of his lands in 

 Hauxley. In 1 722 Thomas Carr of Nunriding voted for Bondicar, 

 and at same period Horsley writes: — "The small house and 

 estate of Bondy-Ker belongs to a family of the name of Ker."" 

 From an affidavit made for the Hauxley fishery case, dated 24th 

 Sept. 1735, we learn that Oliver CaiT, the then owner of the 

 estate, was son and heir of Thomas Carr recently deceased. 

 Both Thomas'® and Oliver Carr would seem to have been bailiffs 

 to the Fenwicks of Nunriding, for the bridge which spans the 

 ravine in front of Naiiriding-hall bears the date 1745, and the 

 names of Robt. Fen wick, Esq., as builder, and Mr Oliver Carr'^ 

 as Steward. In 1748 Oliver Carr of Nunriding voted for 

 Bondicar. 



The estate was afterwards acquired by the old Whalton family 

 of Eochester : its present owner is Mr Thos. Rochester of that 

 place. It was long rented by the old yeoman family of Hall, 

 originally from the parish of Elsdon,®" whose tenancy probably 

 beginning at the end of the 17th century, only expired in 1870.
