Walton Hall, Chesterfield. 



[Walton lies a little to the west of Chesterfield. It belonged at 

 this time to the Foljambes. Sir Francis Foljambe, created Bart, 

 in 1622, described in the family history as " a man of a profuse 

 temper and excessive hospitality/'' weakened his estate by ex- 

 travagance, and sold Walton in 1683. It was occupied (as above- 

 mentioned) in 1609 by Lady Bowes. It is now a farm-house, 

 but must have been of greater size in former times, as Mary, 

 Queen of Scots and her retinue were lodged there one night. 

 (See Hunter's S. Yorkshire, vol. ii , 59.)]

 England. She married, first, Godfrey Foljambe, of Walton ; secondly, Sir William Bowes, of Barnard 

 Castle, Co. York. She was living at Walton at the time of Lady Arabella's visit, and also in 1617, 

 when she married her third husband, Lord Darcy. (See Hunter's S. Y. as before.) 



t Stavely Park is in Derbyshire, about four miles east of Chesterfield : at this time the property of 

 the Freschville Family.
