Roy Hudleston (1905-1992) was born in Stroud in Gloucestershire. He started work as a journalist on the
Bristol Times and Mirror in 1923, and in 1932 transferred to the newly-formed
Bristol Evening Post. His career in journalism was interrupted by war-time forestry work but in 1945 he was
appointed editor of the
Penrith Observer. In 1955 he moved to become Bursar of Hatfield College and part-time lecturer in Palaeography in the University of Durham. Although he retired from his college post in 1965 he
remained in Durham until 1970 as a full-time lecturer in Palaeography, based in the Department of Palaeography and Diplomatic (now incorporated in Durham University Library Archives and Special Collections department). His retirement was spent first
in Ambleside in Cumbria and then in Hove in Sussex. Hudleston was also a distinguished genealogist and historian. In 1949 he was elected a Fellow of The Society of Antiquaries in recognition of his significant work in the fields of local history and
genealogy, his life-long abiding interests. Spurred on by his fascination with the history of his own ancestors, particularly the Hudlestons of Millom Castle and Hutton John, Cumbria, he began writing local history articles at an early age, and some
of these appeared in the
Stroud News while he was still at school. He subsequently published many articles on Bristol's history in the local press, and was also a regular contributor to the
Transactions of the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society, of which he later became President.
In Durham he arranged and catalogued substantial groups of the Howard of Naworth Papers and of the Durham Diocesan Records which were deposited with the University, and from 1966 until 1979 he was editor of the publications of the Surtees
Society, the chief records-publication society for the North-East of England. He was also a long-standing member of the Cumberland and Westmorland Antiquarian and Archaeological Society, serving as editor of its Transactions from 1956 to 1974 and as
its President from 1960 to 1963. He did a great deal of work for that Society's parish-register section, as well as himself writing many articles for its Transactions over the years. Much of his research came to fruition with the publication in 1975
of a book entitled
An armorial for Westmorland and Lonsdale, prepared with Robert Boumphrey and J. (Fred) Hughes and followed in 1978 by the appearance of a companion volume on Cumberland families and heraldry. He was elected as the
first President of the Cumbria Family History Society and only retired as editor of that society's newsletter shortly before his death.
Manuscript, printed and photographic materials amassed by Hudleston during the course of a varied career. The collection relates chiefly to Northern families and clergy, as well as to the history of the North of England and of Bristol and
Gloucestershire, and also includes some original records of Gretna Green marriages. Among the papers are: extensive (chiefly manuscript) notes on and transcripts of an immense range of historical documents from a great variety of record
repositories, libraries and private sources, the originals of some of which are no longer extant; photocopies and photographs of many documents and printed sources; some original documents; examples of Hudleston's world-wide correspondence on
genealogical and historical topics; biographical indexes; pedigrees; notes, drafts and texts for his writings and lectures; and many printed items, including pamphlets, offprints and press-cuttings.
Some sections of particular interest are: an alphabetical card-index of biographical information relating to the clergy of the Northern Province of the Church of England from the Reformation to the 20th century but especially strong for the 18th
and 19th centuries; approximately 600 folders of notes, pedigrees etc. relating to the histories of individual, chiefly northern, families, together with a series of envelopes containing smaller amounts of material on other families and a number of
box-files, cartons etc. of material on particularly well-documented families; preparatory material for and drafts of his articles and books, together with the unpublished typescript of a book on Durham families and heraldry (a companion to his
published books), and a series of cards containing manuscript entries for a companion volume on Northumberland families, plus a smaller number of cards on the armigerous families of Sussex; a series of original registers and loose sheets recording
the irregular marriages which were performed by Robert Elliot and his predecessor(s), including Joseph Paisley, at Springfield, Gretna Green from the late 18th century until about 1839, together with a card-index to the names in the entries which
was prepared by Hudleston; a series of volumes containing many of the newspaper articles on the history of Bristol and the surrounding area which were written by Hudleston.
These materials were bequeathed to Durham University Library by (Christophe) Roy Hudleston, who died on 8 February 1992. A further donation of material was received on 15 September 1992 from Mrs. Anne Cooper, daughter of Mr. Hudleston. Four
printed offprints etc. were donated on 16 October 1997 by Miss Nancy Hudleston, sister of Mr Hudleston, and a further small donation to be added to the collection was received on 11 March 1998 from Mr J.B. Nelson of Illinois, USA.

Daniel [Fleming] to secure a £100 loan, and asking Fleming to inform ‘your Brother Captain’ George that ‘Cos[en]’ Charles Crosland, whose life was in a lease that concerned [the ‘Captain’], had never been a ‘very healthful man’ and George

Transcript of letter from Tho[mas] Braithwaite (Brathwait) in York to William Fleming Esq.. at the General Excise Office, London, stating that the recipient had not received a reply from Fleming to his letters of April and May 1701, repeating
his offer to Fleming concerning the purchase of the whole of the Burneside estate, mentioning that he had recently received an offer for part of the estate and that other possible purchasers had hoped to acquire the estate cheaply, wrongly assuming
that Braithwaite was under a necessity of selling to clear the encumbrances left by his father whereas he was currently engaged in selling his Yorkshire estate, which would more than clear the debts so that he could also be ‘just and kind’ to his
son and make very good provision for his daughter, mentioning problems with the bondsmen for his bond to Sir Daniel [Fleming], especially with cos[en] Brougham (Browham), who had wronged and cheated the writer in many ways, seeking a six months’
extension to the bond from whichever of Sir Daniel’s children inherited it, stating that Thom[as] Shepherd would probably stand surety for him regarding the bond, and noting that on reaching maturity his son had joined with him to break the entail
on the estate. Original document has a seal: armorial, Braithwaite Original endorsed in the hand of [William Fleming]: ‘Received Dec. 8. 1701 from Cosen Brathwaite from Yorke about selling his estate in Westmorland etc’ Original document has

noting with regard to Mr B[rougham] that ‘I am not much disapointed’, and promising to make enquiries about the bond owing to his late father.

them to Fleming, and noting that the title to Burneside estate is sound, that it would be better for ‘some person of quality’ to enjoy ‘two such fine manors’ rather than have them ‘sunk in the hands of the tenents [sic]’, and that it would be ‘hard
ever again to meet with such a purchase in this country’. Original document has a seal: armorial, [Dalston] Original endorsed in the hand of [Sir William Fleming]: ‘Rec. Aug 21 1708 from Lawyer Dalston about Sir H. F. busyesse and Cosen Brathwaite’s

speed in the matter, not only because of Mr Braithwaite’s circumstances but also because Mr Shepherd had arranged a meeting ‘on Tuesday next’ [31 August 1708] at which several of ‘the better sort of tenants’ might arrange to purchase their
freeholds, ‘which I think will be your interest (if you purchase) to prevent’. Original endorsed in the hand of [Sir William Fleming]: ‘Rec. Aug 27. 1708 from Mr. Harrison Recorder of Kendall about the selling Mr. Braithwaite’s estate with my

his tenants, stating that Fleming is tempted to try to purchase the Burneside estate if ensured of a good title and a ‘reasonable pennyworth’ but that he thinks it is very much ‘over valued’, stating that he had received an earlier valuation of it
from Thomas Braithwaite (Brathwaite) but thinks it now a much worse state, the wood for fences and ‘fireing’ being more destroyed, the houses and fences more out of repair, and above all the tenants being admitted for ‘soe very young a life, noting
the ‘illnesse of the times for raiseing money’, noting the strange way of assessing fines on the estate so that their real value is hard to judge and stating his belief that the expectation of receiving good heriots from the tenants is a fallacy,
admitting that some parts of the estate would be much more valuable to him than others, stating that he is still not clear as to the liabilities etc. attached to the estate, particularly regarding the widow and her daughter, stating that he should
like to see a copy of his cousin’s Thomas Braithwaite’s will, noting that he will seek better information concerning the estate Thomas Braithwaite ‘dyed possessed of’, and enclosing [?here] copies of a letter from ‘one of those said to be [?impored]

Copy of letter from Sir William Fleming ‘sent by Bro Fletcher’ to ‘Lawyer Dalstone’, seeking the latter’s opinion of an enclosed abstract of Mr Braithwaite (Brathwait)’s title, mentioning that he will defer a decision concerning the purchase of
the estate until better informed, stating that it seems that Mr [Richard] Braithwaite (Brathwaite) had power to dispose of all his father’s estate, ‘paying his father’s debts’, except the demesnes of Burneside (Burnishead) and Staveley, charged with
£100 per annum to Thomas Braithwaite’s widow and £1,500 to his daughter, noting that if these are sold ‘with or without the other’, if a sum sufficient to ‘answer’ the £100 per annum remains with the purchaser there will not be much room to ‘answer
the remainder’ as they have let them both for many years at £145 per annum and Fleming knows already of at least [£]2148¼ paid out of Burneside and maybe as much out of Staveley, stating that it would have been better if Cowan Head (Coanhead) had
been joined with them, asking for details of the late Thomas Braithwaite (Brathwayt)’s debts and whether the ‘old statutes to Gery and Hodges be cleared’, and asking whether Dalston thinks Fleming should ‘make them a proposal for all, seeing without
the demesnes and all or most of the Free rents I shall not meddle with the tenants’.

Braithwaite (Brathwait) estate, stating that he hopes Fleming will offer for the whole estate ‘to try the pulse of some persons concerning the demesnes & free rents’, stating that he knows of no authority given to ‘Mr Recorder’ [John Harrison]
to sell the estate and that he is an ‘interloper upon’ Mr Chambers, ‘who was formerly employed therein’ by Mr Braithwaite (Brathwaite), enclosing a title to the estate (see below) that Dalston had from T[homas] B[raithwaite] in his lifetime that
seems to match the one Fleming has, explaining the trust in favour of Thomas Braithwaite’s widow and daughter set up by a conveyance of the demesnes to Mr Gill in December 1706, stating that he is unaware of the annual value of the estate but
encloses a rental (see below), noting that Mr [Richard] Braithwaite’s power to dispose of the estate is ‘qualified and defeazanc’d’ by a post- 25 and 26 December 1706 deed made by him to T. Shepperd and W[illia]m Jefferson, Dalston’s clerk, for
payment of Thomas Braithwaite’s debts ‘therein mentioned’, amounting to about £930, ‘but the purchaser for his security must have a fine levied from [Richard Braithwaite], his mother and sister and the trustees’, stating that the assignment of the

ff.72-73 28 September 1708
Copy of letter from Sir William Fleming to an unnamed recipient, [probably Thomas Dalston], acknowledging receipt of a letter and enclosures from the recipient, stating that he would make an offer to buy all of the estate that belonged to his
cousin Tom Braithwaite (Brathwait) but has reason to believe parts of it have already been sold, that although he still does not have all the information he requires on which to make an offer for the remaining estate he would consider entering one
shortly but wishes to see [Dalston] first, noting that John Harrison had been to Cheshire to give or receive instructions from ‘Cozen’ Richard Braithwaite (Brathwait) but would be returning shortly and Fleming expects to be asked for a proposal
before the end of the week, although the likelihood of concluding a bargain is low, ‘his [Braithwaite’s] debts in Kendall being soe great’ that there would be little left for [Braithwaite] from the still unsold lands and rents, and asking [Dalston]
to bring certain specified deeds to their meeting.

Harrison], recorder of Kendal, for purchasing the whole of that part of the estate in Westmorland that his cousin Thomas Braithwaite (Brathwaite) died possessed of and that had not been sold subsequently by Braithwaite’s son [Richard], seeking
Dalston’s opinion as to the whether or not Fleming had offered the market price, outlining the process of negotiations so far and the steps Fleming had taken to ascertain the value of the estate, noting that he had considered the acquisition because
of the proximity of the Burneside esate to his own lands, noting that he had thought [John] Harrison (Harryson), recorder of Kendal, favoured his purchase, referring to the [?arrest] of Richard Braithwaite (Brathwaite) in Kendal by a London man ca
August [1707], noting his disappointment that he was expected to negotiate the purchase with John Harrison, Thomas Shepherd and Thomas Braithwaite’s widow rather than with Thomas Dalston and Richard Braithwaite’s other trustees, noting that he
wishes the trustees had retained more power ‘for more reasons than one’, noting his concerns as to the title of and encumbrances on the estate, its poor management and state of repair, and the condition of the tenantry, noting that he thinks Thomas
Shepherd now opposes Fleming’s purchase and wishes to buy the estate himself, perhaps selling part to finance the purchase of the remainder, noting that Fleming has been told that the vendors were annoyed that he had discovered the true condition of
the estate and feared that this might damage their prospects, noting that the vendors have been underhand in selling off some of the best customary tenements, and noting that the free rents, the best part of the estate and the assets Fleming

estate] are likely to receive from T[homas] S[hepherd] and his pupil [presumably Richard Braithwaite], noting that the writer had wrongly thought [Shepherd’s] designs were limited to ‘Ladyfei[?ld]’ and the remaining free[hold] rents, stating the
writer’s opinion that Lady Lonsdale would not buy any lands during Lord Lonsdale’s minority and ‘if Mr Musgrave had any such Though[t] I shou’d certainly have heard of it’, recommending that Fleming should deal directly with ‘Widow Braithwaite’ over
the possible purchase of the Burneside and Staveley demesnes, which would provide him with good title and should balk the others, noting that he will instruct Mr Burdett to do nothing further without instructions from Dalston, stating that he thinks
no purchaser except T[homas] S[hepherd] would venture to buy part of the estate without first consulting all the trustees and ‘having a security from them’, noting that Sir H[enry] L[awson] and Dalston only complied with a conditional breach of
trust by R[ichard] B[raithwaite in order to allow him to pay debts, reiterating his wish that Fleming will succeed in purchasing the whole estate, enclosing some papers concerning tenants’ services, [not here], left with him by Thomas Braithwaite

the background to his offer to purchase the estate, enclosing a copy of his purchase proposal [not here] so that the recipient could judge whether criticisms that it undervalued the estate were justified, noting that some of the most valuable parts

wrote to say that someone was interested in buying the whole estate but assuring Fleming that he would have first refusal ‘if in my power’ if he offered the ‘reall’ value for it, asking what Fleming would bid just for the demesnes of Burneside
(Burnesid) and New Hall (Newhall), which were hers and her daughter’s, noting Mr [John] Brougham’s reluctance to give up the letting of ‘what payd his rent’ and that Burneside had been let for £100 per annum since she was married, noting that her
husband had not loved business but that with good management the estate could bring ‘great advantage’, and assuring Fleming of a unexceptional gentleman to deal with if he made a realistic offer. Seal: red wax applied; armorial, [Braithwaite]

noting that the purchaser would find great advantages in the estate which [she and her husband] never did because of ill management. Endorsed in the hand of [Sir William Fleming]: ‘Rec[eive]d June 8. 1709. from my Cosen Brathwaite from Yorke about
Burniside by the way of Kendall’ Endorsed in an unidentified hand: ‘p[ai]d 2d at Kendall p[er] [?R]S’

left by the recipient’s late husband, in the hope that with good management its encumbrances could be met with money to spare, and that he would also thus have acquired a good title, stating that he no longer knew what to do, given the recent lack
of fair dealing and the fact that parts of the estate had been sold and the encumbrances on it were increasing, noting that Mr Shepherd was in London but they had not met, and sending greetings to his ‘pretty Cosen Catherine’, [daughter of Ann
Braithwaite].
Draft letter from Sir William Fleming to Sir William Robinson at Yorke, acknowledging receipt of a letter from the recipient, stating that he wishes to discuss further with him the question of the [Burneside] estate, recording his fear of a lack

One volume, paper-backed and chiefly disbound; binding defective and fragile, with back cover missing. The volume contains many loose pages and some loose inserts. It consists of two sections:
1) Grangerised version, possibly for a future edition, of Henry Manders, Moresby Hall and its Owners (Callander & Dixon, Whitehaven, Cumberland, 1875, 123pp. plus final page [124] containing a notice concerning future publications) or,
perhaps less likely, the proof copy. This version contains numerous manuscript ink corrections, additions etc. to the original printed pages, chiefly in the same unidentified hand, and including some illustrations. Some loose inserts, including

HUD 14/2 ca 1923-[19]68 and undated, covering ca 13th-20th centuries and undated
One thick hard-backed volume, the contents of which probably originally consisted of a number of a series of separate notebooks and loose sheets which were subsequently bound together. One section contains its own internal, incomplete
pagination. Some sheets have been cut out and the volume includes many inserts, most of them loose. The contents of the volume consist of extensive manuscript notes on and transcripts of a range of sources from a variety of locations for the history
of the Hudleston family plus some pedigrees. The notes etc. are in a variety of hands, chiefly unidentified, although the final section and some of the inserts are in the hand of CRH. A document of 1712 is said to have been transcribed by R.J.
Hudleston of [Portishead, Somerset], 20 July 1924. Two of the loose inserted letters, 21 July [19]68 and 26 July [19]68, are correspondence of Nigel Ferdinand Hudleston of Hutton John, Penrith, Cumberland (1901-1969). Sampling suggests that most of
the notes were made in the 20th or late 19th centuries.

Amenities Committee on 22 May 1974 recording the agreement to this loan; and secondly the Lake District Museum Trust (LDMT).
In a copy statement of 3 August [19]74 in HUD 23/1 B.L. Thompson, [a vice-president of the CWAAS], states his opinion that the volume should be published under the sole auspices of the CWAAS, rather than jointly with the LDMT, and also
criticises the non-standard format in which volumes 19, An Antiquary on Horseback, and 20, The Building of Hadrian’s Wall, in the CWAAS Extra Series were produced. Letter of 18 February 1976 (HUD 23/2) from C.A. Ellwood, treasurer of CWAAS, to CRH,
enclosing a cheque for £36.75 from the CWAAS Records Publication Fund for payments from named subscribers [to the Armorial] shown ‘in Mr Plint’s records’ as being in the above fund and adding ‘Please let me know if you are likely to want a loan
grant or whatever for the Armorial, from us’. MS 4ff. paper of 24 Feb 1976 by CRH (HUD 23/2) setting out the background to the production of the Armorial, giving details of the problems and misunderstandings that had arisen over the funding of the

are on loose sheets of paper.

October 1789 to having hunted twice with ‘the King’s hounds’ and hope to be presented [to King George III] in the course of the winter; Hudleston’s request on 10 October 1789 that Macartney would be one of the ‘sponsors’ for his [first] son, [John

from [Ferdinand Hudleston] to Father Willson and to the latter’s sister, Miss Willson. The letters concern: an obituary in the Downside Review [not here] of [Gilbert Roger Hudleston (1874-1936), brother of Ferdinand Hudleston, who had become a
Benedictine monk at Downside Abbey, where he was known as Father Roger]; the writer’s memories of Father Roger; a proposed visit to Hutton John by, among others, Father Hilary, who had been Father Roger’s novice master at Belmont, Herefordshire and

Copy typescript account by James Forbes, O.S.B. of a series of copies of letters in the strong-room at Ampleforth relating to the purchase by Ampleforth through Father Prest in 1889 of ‘The Huddleston Portrait’ [of Father John Hudleston] from
‘Mr Vincent Huddleston Chaloner’, who claimed without proof that it was an original portrait by Sir Peter Lely. The portrait was also claimed to have descended through the seller’s grandmother, Mrs Peter Chaloner, who was said to be a granddaughter
of Dorothy Hudleston (Huddleston), the only child and heiress of Andrew Hudleston (Huddleston) of Hutton John and his wife Elizabeth (née ‘Godson’ [sic]). The writer says that the Ampleforth portrait appears similar to
the portraits of Father John held at Hutton John, reproduced in Country Life ‘a few years ago’, and Sawston Hall. According to the Dictionary of National Biography a third portrait of Father John was ‘formerly in the possession of Mrs Cust at
Carlisle’ according to Pennant,
Tour into Scotland … (1774), p.60, and this could perhaps be the portrait now at Ampleforth. James Forbes assumes that the portrait at Hutton John was the original by ‘Housman’ [Jacob Huysmans (ca 1633 – ca 1696)], the
court painter to Catherine of Braganza (Braganze), wife of King Charles II, but says the Ampleforth painting is of high quality and might be a contemporary copy by the same artist. Enclosure with HUD 46/4/17

Letter from Nora Eiloart (NE) at Little Zeal, South Brent, Devon to CRH concerning: her own failed attempts to obtain a photograph of the Stopford Sackville portrait of Father John Hudleston; the possibility of tracing information on Mrs Cust of
Carlisle [see HUD 46/4/18], the writer’s memory of seeing a reproduction of a portrait [perhaps the Stopford Sackville version?] of Father John with his right hand raised in an awkward position and signs that a crucifix had been painted over; the
difference between a replica of a picture created by the original artist and a copy by someone else which always tends to exaggerate weaknesses; a portrait of Cyril Martindale [Cyril Charlie Martindale (1879–1963), Jesuit and scholar, DNB, son of
Sir Arthur Martindale and stepson of Clara Martindale (née Hudleston), a daughter of William Hudleston (1826-1894) who inherited Hutton John in 1861] by Simon Elwes [Simon Vincent Edmund Paul Elwes (1902–1975), portrait painter, DNB] and the
writer’s opinion of Martindale’s character; the writer’s gratitude at being asked to be godmother to CRH’s daughter [born 5 August 1928], although she is neither religious nor rich and ‘a godmother should be one or the other, preferably both’; other
family matters; and the writer’s confession that she had subdued her own volatility when she discovered how highly strung her [first husband] George [Townsend Warner] was as they ‘couldn’t both of us feel everything so desperately’.

Warner, where they found much ‘Junk’ left behind by Sylvia Townsend Warner who ‘seems to have had no interest whatsoever in the place’; items from Little Zeal which the new owners, ‘encouraged by Mrs Cowgill’, had sent to Nigel Hudleston, including

Letter from T.F. T[eversham] at 18 Hillside, Sawston, Cambridgeshire to CRH relating to the writer’s discovery of two letters, dated respectively 1 November 1796 and 1799, written by Andrew Hudleston (Huddleston) of Hutton John, Cumberland
(1734-1821) to Ferdinand H[udleston] at Sawston and including a transcript of the first, which concerned Andrew Hudleston’s gift to Ferdinand Hudleston of ‘a Picture of a Benedictine Monk of our House’, a ‘very good Man and loyal’ [Father John
Hudleston], asking Ferdinand to ‘aford him [the portrait] House Room in your venerable Mansion’, and expressing thanks to Ferdinand and his family for recent hospitality shown to the writer and his [wife] Elizabeth. The 1966 letter also poses
questions about: the above portrait and its relationship to the portrait of Father John Hudleston at Hutton John; the above Andrew Hudleston, a lawyer known as ‘the Bencher’; and this Andrew Hudleston’s relationship to the Ferdinand [Hudleston,
possibly Ferdinand Hudleston of Hutton John (1857-1951] who sold a silver mug and porringer to Lord Fairhaven [?Rogers Broughton Huttleston, 1st Lord Fairhaven (1896-1966)].

only that he wrote a letter to F. Hudleston at Sawston; the writer’s failure to find any reference in the above diary for the previous year to the commissioning of a copy of the Hutton John portrait; the writer’s conviction that nonetheless the
version of the portrait at Hutton John is the original because the signature ‘Housman’ [Huysmans] is clearly visible on it; and the tradition of adorning the portrait with an oak leaf every 29 May and with ‘Cyprus’ every 6 February, the
anniversaries respectively of King Charles II’s return to England and his death.

Envelope labelled in the hand of [CRH] ‘Surrey heraldry’ and containing a copy of a set of typescript preliminary notes, with some manuscript alterations and additions, for an armorial for Surrey. These were probably compiled by Frederick James
Field, author of An Armorial for Cumberland (1937), after he moved to Surrey. When he joined the army during World War 2 he left these notes in the custody of his friend the Revd (later Canon) R.C. Tait. Field subsequently died at the battle of El
Alamein in 1942. In September 1977 Canon Tait sent the typescript of the notes to CRH. In the same year the latter passed the notes to Robert Stavely Boumphrey (RSB) who subsequently greatly expanded them then, in 1983, deposited his manuscript in
the Surrey Record Office. RSB’s edition of the armorial, including his original preface, in which he pays tribute to Field and to CRH, is now available on the Surrey County Council website at
