time retired from public life, and had devoted himself to 
agricultural pursuits, and the cultivation of his estates at

Mr. Greg was a zealous horticulturist, and his grounds at 
Norcliffe have long been celebrated for their extensive 
collection of trees and shrubs, many of which are of great 
interest. His especial favourites were the coniferse and 
rhododendrons, and amongst the former are individual 
specimens which are unequalled in this neighbourhood for 
their age and dimensions, some of them having been planted 
nearly 40 years ago.

Treasurer of the Society, and £5 a session for the services 
of the attendant, Mr. Roscoe.
