parts of the property, including land at Jesmond Grove, which he

conveyed to James Losh, and land at Brandling Village and near

Brandling Park, which he conveyed to John Brown, Thomas

Mackford, Benjamin Trotter and Roger Dove. His name is still

preserved in that neighbourhood in the terrace called Warwick

Place. In 1821 a commission of bankruptcy was issued against

him under the name and description of ' Robert Warwick, late of

Warwick Hall, in the county of Cumberland, banker, dealer and

chapman,' and in the following year the assignees in his bankruptcy

finally disposed of the remainder of the estate, Sir Thomas Burdon

buying the northernmost portion, including the site of the present

North Jesmond House, and James Archbold and others buying the

more southerly portion near Clayton Road, so that by these trans-

actions the whole of the surface part of the lands appertaining to

the Matilda Emeldon third of Jesmond Manor and of the Carliol-

Thirkeld Jesmond estate was finally split up and dispersed amongst

various owners.
As previously stated, the mineral rights appertaining to the

above lands were retained by the Hodshon family when they sold

off the surface. They remained in the possession of that family for

250 years and were finally parted with in 1821. The course of their

descent is shewn by the following sketch-pedigree taken from the

New History of Northumberland, where a more elaborated genealogy

will be found. 7
Philip Hodshon mentioned in the above pedigree was in ' the

unfortunate Preston affair ' with Lord Widdrington in 1715 and

was attainted for high treason. His estates were forfeited to the

Crown and were conveyed in 1723 to Nicholas Fenwick, Esq., of

Newcastle, for £1,225, but the money was probably found by Philip

Hodshon or his friends, for his successors continued to enjoy the

estates.'

Margaret Hodshon, the last survivor of the family, gave the

estates by will to William Sanderson, who took the name of

Hodshon.' In 1821 William Hodshon, formerly William

Sanderson, late of Healey but then residing at Calais, conveyed the

Hodshon-Jesmond coal to his natural daughter Elizabeth Sanderson,

of Stockton-on-Tees, and in the same year Miss Sanderson sold and



conveyed the same to Sir Thomas Burdon.
