Wallington Hall History

[MaryThorn]

Does anyone know how I can find out more about the staff that worked at Wallington Hall?

I've discovered that my 4th Great Aunt was married to Issac Milburn who was gamekeeper for Sir John Trevelyan.

It would be fascinating to see if any history exists especially as I loved playing here and particularly loved the dolls house when I was a child.  More recently my children have loved roaming around here.

A lot of the records are now at Northumberland Archives at Woodhorn.

My LIDDELLs were all born at Wallington Ducket  between 1737-1746.

Knowing a ducket is a local variation of dovecote, I wondered whether it was on the Wallington estate.

One day in the Wallington gift shop I asked the land agent (?) where it was or had been. He took me outside and round the back and showed me the area. So I guess they worked for the owner of Wallington at that time, maybe the Fenwicks or their predecessors.

Since then I've seen the old maps of the estate and some building drawings at Woodhorn. Must do some more on these rellies, interesting.
