ESTATE SOLD FOR \u00a314,025
FAMOUS WELSH PROPERTY CHANGES HANDS<\/p>\n

Mr. R. Arthur Jones (Messrs. W. A. and Co.), at Bangor, yesterday, sold the famous Craigydon estate, formerly the property of the late General Owen Williams, who was a friend of King Edward VII, for \u00a314,025.<\/p>\n

There were only two bidders, and the bidding ran from \u00a310,000 by sums of \u00a3500 to \u00a313,500, then by \u00a350 to \u00a314,000. Mr. Castellan, of Benarth, Conway, securing the estate and mansion of 100 acres complete for \u00a325 more.<\/p>\n

GREAT PROPERTY SALE IN ANGLESEY<\/p>\n

DISPOSAL OF THE CRAIG-Y-DON DEMESNE<\/p>\n

The far-famed firm of Messrs W. Dew & Son, auctioneers, have recently been entrusted with the sale of some of the most attractive and valuable property to be found in the northern part of the Principality, and last week our columns contained an account of the excellent prices realised at Conway.<\/p>\n

The Craigydon estate has this week been under the hammer, and the prices realised for the various lots were eminently satisfactory to vendor and auctioneer, over \u00a320,000 being paid for Craigydon demesne, and the total amount of Thursday\u2019s sale, which was conducted in the Town Hall, Llangefni, being \u00a350,130, despite the fact that property value \u00a37,840 was withdrawn, but several lots were subsequently sold by private treaty.<\/p>\n

In opening the first day\u2019s sale, Mr Dew said he hoped to conduct the sale as quickly as possible in order that they might get home at a reasonable time, and he trusted the bidders would give him their assistance. It would be obvious to them that it would be unnecessary for him to address them at any length with regard to the property that he had to offer to them as a whole. This was undoubtedly the largest and most important sale of property that had been held in that island for a great number of years, and he did not for a moment wish to conceal from them the fact that in conducting such an important sale he felt somewhat timorous. They had all seen the prices realised at the Conway sale last week, and many of them were no doubt astonished.<\/p>\n

The increase in the price of property was substantial. That was a good sign; and he was pleased to find that all industries were improving. If trade was improving, if land was going up in price, surely they were warranted in bidding spiritedly that day. They were there to do business. Those assembled had not been asked to attend a bogus sale; and he hoped at the conclusion of the sale they would all say that he had done his best to carry on the sale in a fair and square manner, adjusting the balance evenly between buyer and seller (applause).<\/p>\n

a farmer, but was long the seat of the knightly family of Pickering<\/strong>, from whom it passed through several families to the Morlands<\/strong>, who sold it to its present possessor, together with the neighbouring mansion of Capplethwaite Hall<\/strong>, now also a farm house. For manors, see Firbank.<\/p>\n

LUPTON<\/strong> township has the hamlets of Cow-Brow, Lupton-Row, and Lupton-Smithy<\/strong>, with several straggling dwellings, from 2\u00bd to 4 miles WNW. of Kirkby-Lonsdale. The manor was anciently called Lupetun<\/strong>, and is now held of the Earl of Lonsdale.<\/p>\n

MANSERGH<\/strong> township and chapelry, contains the village of OLD TOWN<\/strong>, and about 20 dispersed houses, 3 miles N. by W. of Kirkby-Lonsdale. It is a wild district, having on its western side an extensive unenclosed common.<\/p>\n

The CHAPEL<\/strong>, dedicated to St. Peter, has a burial ground, and was built in 1726 by Jacob Dawson<\/strong> on his estate, called Nether Hall<\/strong>, the inhabitants paying for their seats, and subscribing with Mr. Dawson 120l.<\/strong>, to which Oliver Martin<\/strong> added 80l.<\/strong>, and the Governors of Queen Anne\u2019s Bounty<\/strong> 200l.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The latter afterwards gave two more lots of 200l.<\/strong> each, Lady Gower 100l.<\/strong>, and the curate in 1777 100l.<\/strong> These sums, amounting to 1000l.<\/strong>, were laid out in the purchase of estates at Old Hutton, Dent, and Casterton<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Rev. Edward Gorell<\/strong> is the incumbent curate, and the Vicar of Kirkby-Lonsdale<\/strong> is the patron.<\/p>\n

The MANOR<\/strong> anciently belonged to the de Manserghs<\/strong>, and afterwards to the Rigmaidens, Wards, and Godsaves<\/strong>, from whom it passed to its present possessor Christopher Wilson, Esq., of Abbot Hall<\/strong>, who has just re-built on an elegant plan the ancient manor house called RIGMAIDEN HALL<\/strong>, upon a lofty eminence which rises rapidly from the west side of the Lune<\/strong>, and commands a fine view of the vale. The tenants pay 15d. fines<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

MIDDLETON<\/strong> township and chapelry is bounded on the west by the Lune<\/strong>, and on the north by the Rother<\/strong>, which divides it from Yorkshire, and here falls into the Lune.<\/p>\n

It has a number of dispersed dwellings, and the hamlet of Middleton Head<\/strong>, 7 miles N. by E. of Kirkby-Lonsdale, and 3\u00bd miles SW. of Sedbergh.<\/p>\n

A new bridge, of one arch, was built across the Rother in 1821<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The CHAPEL<\/strong>, erected in 1634<\/strong>, and dedicated to the Holy Ghost<\/strong>, was re-built in 1813<\/strong>, on the old site given by Dr. Bainbridge<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It was made parochial in 1671<\/strong>, and the burial ground was enlarged by land given by Giles Moore<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The curacy is in the gift of the Vicar of Kirkby-Lonsdale, and incumbency of the Rev. John Knipe<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It is endowed with three small estates in Middleton, and one in Garsdale<\/strong>, purchased with 106l. ancient stock<\/strong>; 600l. of Queen Anne\u2019s Bounty<\/strong>, given in 1750, 1756, and 1791<\/strong>; 100l. left by Dr. Stratford in 1756<\/strong>; 100l. left by the late Mrs. Pyncombe<\/strong>; and 100l. given by the present curate<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Near the chapel is a small SCHOOL<\/strong> with a trifling endowment from the CHARITIES<\/strong> enumerated at page 39.<\/p>\n

The MANOR<\/strong>, in which are several lofty fells, was held for ten generations by the Middletons<\/strong>, who ended in two co-heiresses, having previously enfranchised the tenants, who pay only a small quit rent to the Earl of Lonsdale as lessee of the great barony of Kendal.<\/p>\n

Middleton Hall<\/strong> is a large castle-like mansion partly in ruins, and partly occupied by a farmer.<\/p>\n

It had a deer park, which was destroyed during the civil wars, in which the Middletons were great sufferers, and sold part of the demesne to Dr. Adam Askew<\/strong>, of Newcastle, where his descendant is now a barrister.<\/p>\n

South of the old hall is Grimes Hill<\/strong>, the seat of William Moore, Esq.<\/strong>, who is also owner of Hawkin Hall<\/strong>, built by Dr. Bainbridge<\/strong>, master of Christ\u2019s College, in the reign of Charles I<\/strong>, and now occupied by a farmer, as also is Beckside Hall<\/strong>, in which<\/p>\n

The fourth son Edward<\/strong> obtained an appointment in the General Post Office<\/strong>, afterwards became a solicitor and later entered the church.<\/p>\n

In memory of
Susanna the wife of Robert Bickersteth<\/strong>
of this town surgeon & daughter of John Addision Esq. of Rector<\/strong><\/p>\n

She departed this life the 8th December 1818<\/strong> aged 26 years<\/strong> leaving surviving for 3 months her only child an infant daughter who lies buried with her in the same vault.<\/p>\n

The anguish of so great a loss is relieved by the substantial consolation that the even tenor of her invaluable life had long & uniformly declared her to be a member of Christ the child of God & an inheritor of the kingdom of Heaven.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was dumb & opened not my mouth because thou didst it.\u201d

In memory of Henry Bickersteth of Everton<\/strong>, formerly an eminent medical practitioner at Kirkby Lonsdale in the county of Westmorland<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Having retired from business after an upwards of 40 years<\/strong> faithful discharge of professional duties he found at once repose & employment in contemplating the highest ends of Christian philanthropy and lending his valuable aid to whatever plans have been supported by the wise & good for ameliorating the temporal & spiritual condition of mankind.<\/p>\n

During a lingering illness he gave satisfactory proofs of true repentance & unfeigned faith, patient hope & cheerful resignation to the divine will.<\/p>\n

He fell asleep in Jesus the 18th day of May 1821 aged 71 years.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Medical Journal Article<\/h1>\n

THE ST. THOMAS HOSPITAL GAZETTE<\/strong>
No. 4 \u2014 May 1891 \u2014 Vol. 1<\/p>\n

REMINISCENCES OF CHARLES MURCHISON, M.D. L.L.D. F.R.S.<\/h3>\n

To the present students of the Hospital, Murchison is vaguely known by his bust in the hall, & a scholarship connected with his name. To those who were students from fifteen to twenty years ago he is a living reality & a potent factor in the lives of many of them.<\/p>\n

The magnitude of any force must be judged by its effect, & the powers of a teacher are evidenced by the infection of work & method he has transmitted to his pupils. In our student period we hear many lectures, but meet with few teachers; many dole out & drum out the technical knowledge of our art & craft, but few infuse into us a thirst for knowledge, & the mental hunger for our work, but Murchison was one of these.<\/p>\n

His earnestness was remarkable, his energy unflagging, the awe & importance with which he clothed his teaching will never be forgotten by those who knew him. We followed him as iron filings follow a magnet; the slightest sign of appreciation was esteemed a treasure; we dreaded a glance of his wonderfully earnest eye; we almost worshipped him \u2014 but it was rather the worship of power than of affection; we felt he was on our side though removed from us by such a distance of superiority.<\/p>\n

It was not that he lacked affection \u2014 vague rumours were circulated that he was most lovingly attached to his family, that he was a devoted friend \u2014 but we only knew him as the oracle to be revered, but not approached; we only saw one side of his character \u2014 that of a worker in his workshop, a commander in the field.<\/p>\n

Those we know fully we too often despise, & Murchison never ventured on the perilous rocks of familiarity; he was to us a hero.<\/p>\n

I have never known so able & painstaking a clinical teacher; he brought his method with him from Edinburgh, learnt from John Hughes Bennett; there was nothing like it then in London.<\/p>\n

He would go round the wards with never less than forty men, sometimes sixty, many of whom were \u201cdistinguished foreigners,\u201d many Americans. No one ever went in vain, or wasted the two hours of the round.<\/p>\n

Hardly above the middle height, of massive build, with a large head, brown eyes, dark smooth hair, sallow complexion, & passive expression; his voice clear & deliberate, with a slightly Scotch accent \u2014 everything about him bespoke the intense earnestness of the man.<\/p>\n

His dress was loose, his shirt collar particularly capacious as though it did not dare to touch him, his boots loose & buttoned, never mud-stained \u2014 it all bespoke the man, mud never had the chance of soiling him.<\/p>\n

He intoxicated us all with a spirit of \u201cDiagnosis,\u201d & we tried to diagnose him too with his own calm & fact-producing logic.<\/p>\n

Later we learnt the sad truth that all along he had been a dying man suffering from aortic regurgitation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Memorial \u2013 Elizabeth Wray<\/h1>\n

Near this place are interred the remains of Elizabeth<\/strong>, only daughter of William Wray<\/strong> (Vicar of Tunstall in the County of Lancaster) and Ellen his wife<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

She died on the 28th day of July 1775 aged 21 years<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In the life of this amiable young person was displayed a pattern worthy of imitation.<\/p>\n

In it was displayed a true spirit of devotion, filial piety, and universal benevolence \u2014 a spirit regulated by an uncommon delicacy of sentiment, a sound judgment, and such a share of prudence and discretion as seldom falls to the lot of green years.<\/p>\n

Thus prepared and supported by a steadfast reliance on the merits and promises of her Saviour she bore the cruel ravages of a wasting consumption with unbroken firmness and serenity of mind, waited for her dissolution with patience and resignation of a sincere Christian, and met at last the King of Terrors with a smile.<\/p>\n

The death of Miss B. on Easter Monday calls for a few words of thankfulness for her earnest & useful work for the C.T.S. & of sympathy with those who loved her, from one who knew her well & valued her highly almost from the time her family came to reside at C.H. 57 years ago. She became Branch Secretary at the foundation of the K.L. Branch (that little which I was myself most closely connected) in 1882 shortly after the introduction of the C.T.S. into the Diocese of Carlisle & she continued to hold that office till she was called away. To her, as to all her work for the good of others we owe her entire devotion & energy. Any of your readers who may have had the privilege of being present at the annual festival of the Branch so often held at C.H. will remember the cordial hospitality & the kind interest in the members to whom the was always a loving friend. If they left the society triumphant a good & happy meeting it was a joy to her to make the present effort followed upon such a change; if any had earned the members under the 3rd central rule through their own misconduct it was a cause of deep personal sorrow to her, though she had the zeal<\/p>\n

to desire & strive for their real good. But it is a satisfaction to feel that her living labours have not been in vain & that since the foundation of the Branch there has been a real improvement in the general moral tone of the girls & young women of the district (which had at one time been sadly low) & I believe that such a change will eventually be found to follow where the Society is worked energetically, lovingly & wisely as it was under her guidance.<\/p>\n

N. Birkett<\/p>\n

Died at Carlisle July 1907<\/p>\n

After tea, the present B.S. spoke of the grief of the staff on this occasion, in contrast with the usual festivities; for the present that will be impossible. Whilst the triumph of each new year of the late beloved B.S. (now 3 months ago) had ceased from her labours after 25 years of perfect service in the Branch, she formed her life pattern an ideal of a truly useful & beautiful & womanly character.<\/p>\n

She departed this life the 3rd of December 1818 aged 24 years
having survived for 3 months her only child an infant daughter
who lies buried with her in the same vault.<\/p>\n

The anguish of so great a loss is relieved by this substantial consolation
that the uniform tenor of her invaluable life had long and manifestly
declared her to be<\/p>\n

    formerly an Eminent Medical practitioner
    at Kirkby Lonsdale in the county of Westmorland<\/p>\n

    Having retired from business after upwards of 40 years
    spent in the laborious discharge of professional duties
    he found at once repose & employment
    in contemplating the highest ends of Christian philanthropy
    and guiding his children and
    whatever plans have been suggested by the true & good
    for ameliorating the temporal & spiritual condition of mankind<\/p>\n

    During a lingering illness he gave satisfactory proof
    of true repentance and unfeigned faith
    patient hope & cheerful resignation to the Divine Will
    and having anchored his soul
    upon the undeserved Mercy & all sufficient merits of God his Saviour
    he fell asleep in Jesus<\/p>\n

    In the king\u2019s remembrancer\u2019s office of the court of the exchequer are preserved two ancient books called the \u201cTesta de Nevill\u201d or \u201cLiber Feodorum\u201d, which are described in the Return of Abel Moysey Esq Dep. King\u2019s remembrancer printed in the reports of the select committee of the House of Commons appointed to inquire into the state of the public records of the Kingdom etc. p.138 as containing Nomina Villarum, Sergeants, and Knights Fees in several counties taken by inquisition in temp. Henry III and Edward I.<\/p>\n

    In this ancient record, on folio 402<\/p>\n

    is the following entry \u2014<\/p>\n

    Et Adam<\/p>\n

    My own precious love how you read this I shall be miles & miles away; separated from you & the old dear town by what may seem an impassable gulph but love this must not be; marriage must not divide those whose object in life for so many years has been one.<\/p>\n

    You may think I shall not care now to know all your hopes in love you wrong me if so. I care just as much as ever the great new love you now possess does not empty my heart but makes it so fertile with fresh love to the old haunts.<\/p>\n

    I can hardly bear to leave you my own pet. I feel as if you did not know how much I have clung to you & how your strength for many clear seeing ways have often been<\/p>\n

    a help to me greater than any amount of preaching & reading & things have you sometimes by amused me for making a wrong thought the excuse for it.<\/p>\n

    You feel we rather have should both thank Him who enabled you to do so.<\/p>\n

    In looking at my London future, as far as I can see it, I can but say it has a very doubtful prospect except towards the end where I see the darling I love so well triumphing over her finished work.<\/p>\n

    All along the way you will have that same brightness of morning it has keeping.<\/p>\n

    Letter extract (1807)<\/h1>\n

    Copy of part of a letter from H. Bickersteth
    dated Kirkby Lonsdale Oct 12th 1807<\/p>\n

    My dear John,<\/p>\n

    Robert returned from Liverpool on Saturday night. He has agreed to go into partnership next January with Mr Dawson on the following terms.<\/p>\n

    He is to give a premium of \u00a3200 besides \u00a320 for half the medicines in the shop; for this he is to receive half the profits of the business for five years & two thirds for three years longer, at the end of which term of eight years Mr Dawson is to give up everything to Robert.<\/p>\n

    Tho\u2019 Mr Dawson does not at present make quite \u00a3300 per annum, yet his patients are all respectable and I hope Robert will greatly increase the business & make it answer well in time.<\/p>\n

    Thus Robert will get settled the first of the family, but as I hope you are now all in train for settling to your own satisfaction I hope I may venture to have a little relief myself, & therefore I shall give up the shop next May day if I can meet with a proper person to succeed me.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
