Letters from Robert Boothe (1666-1730), archdeacon of Durham (collated 15 May 1691) and dean of Bristol (from 1708), to his official, Posthumus Smith (1676-1725, commissary-general and official of the archdeacon of Durham and registrar to the dean and chapter of Durham), with several enclosures and other letters to Smith.
The letters largely concern the administration of Boothe's estates at Easington in particular and also Archdeacon Newton covering exacting rents, renewing and adding lives to leases, repairs to buildings and selling off Boothe's effects at Easington. Other topics include: Boothe's reluctance to travel north from Bristol; the holding of his visitations, frequently by Smith, and occasional other business of his archdeaconry; work on Bristol deanery and occasional other comments on life in Bristol; the weather; Boothe's health, especially his gout; occasional comments on the royal Court, elections and national affairs such as the Treaty of Utrecht and the 1715 Jacobite rebellion; the receipt and encashing of Smith's bills; Boothe's curates at Easington, the unsatisfactory Mr Richardson and the rather better Mr Dunn; occasional comments on the bishops of Durham; and the procurement of wigs and books for Boothe. Until March 1709 the letters are mostly written from Chester, and thereafter from Bristol. Letters other than Boothe to Smith include:
31. William Hales to Posthumus Smith, 27 April 1708 about accounts.
68. Note of the yearly value of Mr. Marshall's estate at Archdeacon Newton, Co. Durham.
111. “Copyes of Billes sent to Mr Archd[eacon]n Boothe for my Fyns of Thompsons Farm being 330”
132A. (Enclosed in a letter dated 21 October 1719) part of a petition from the inhabitants of Easington on behalf of Philip Richardson, schoolmaster there, with an annotation by Boothe that he believes some of the names to be forged; in the letter he instructs Smith to discharge Richardson as idle and unfit.
148. T. Conyers to Posthumus Smith, 30 December 1720 about a lease of tithes.
158. George Allan to Posthumus Smith, 11 January 1722 about the condition of Newton Hall.
175. Copy letter from Posthumus Smith about the rent of Dobson's farm, dated Saturday.
176. Isaac Gatton to Posthumus Smith, from Cambridge, 14 April 1724, informing him of the death from an apoplectic fit of his master, Chancellor [John] Brookbank, (official to the archdeacon of Ely and spiritual chancellor of Durham from 1 September 1691, fellow of Trinity Hall Cambridge 1679-1724, died at Cambridge and buried at St Edward's Church 1724).

He was rector of Satterleigh and Warkleigh in Devon before becoming rector of Thornton-in-le-Moor in Cheshire in 1691 and being collated archdeacon of Durham on 15 May 1691.

“Notitia Dunelmensis”, notes on the early history of the church in Northumbria and Durham in the hand of Thomas Mangey (canon of Durham 1721-1755) with his ownership inscription dated 6 September 1723 at the head of the contents leaf on folio i.; many folios blank.
The notes are arranged in three sections entitled “Scriptores Dunelmenses” (ff.1-10), “Annales Dunelm. Lindisfarn.” (ff.11-39), and “Notitia locorum” (begins on f.40). On ff.62-90 there is a collation of the York manuscript of Symeon of Durham's History of the church of Durham with the edition of Sir Roger Twysden (published in his Historiæ Anglicanæ Scriptores X, 1652)
An inscription on the front pastedown by Granville Sharp, 20 December 1782, confirms that the volume is in the hand of Thomas Mangey, since it matches the hand of Mangey's commonplace books and other manuscripts, which are in his [Sharp's] own possession, having been given to him by Mangey's son, the Revd. John Mangey, Vicar of Dunmow

Plans and drawings of churches in the archdeaconry of Durham, drawn by John Burlison (father of the artist Clement Burlison) and countersigned by Charles Thorp (1783-1862) archdeacon of Durham 1831-1862.
There is a plan for each church, in some cases accompanied by an elevation and occasionally a drawing of the interior. Most of the plans are signed “Cha. Thorp Official 182[5]” but some have later additions and corrections dated 1828-1829. Thorp was official to the archdeacon of Durham and continued to use the set when he himself became archdeacon of Durham in 1831. Most of the plans have notes on the number of seats, frequently with the division into free and appropriated. Information on the erection of galleries is often given, and occasionally also information on effigies and other features of the church.

CADD 86   1838 - 1878
Album of letters mainly addressed to John Arthur Douglas Bloomfield, 2nd Baron Bloomfield (1802-1879, diplomatist, attaché at Vienna from 1818, and thence served in Lisbon (1824), Stuttgart (1825), Stockholm (1826), St Petersburg (1839), Berlin (1851) and Vienna (1860), retiring in 1871 as ambassador there, 2nd Baron Bloomfield in the peerage of Ireland from 1846 and created Baron Bloomfield in the peerage of the United Kingdom in 1871), with a smaller quantity addressed to Arthur Penrhyn Stanley (1815-1881), Dean of Westminster.
The album was probably assembled by Lord Bloomfield's wife Georgiana (1822-1905, née Liddell, 16th daughter of Thomas Henry Liddell, 1st Baron Ravensworth, maid of honour to Queen Victoria 1841 till, on her marriage in 1845, she moved to Russia). Although arranged in the form of an autograph album, the letters are of considerable interest for their content as well as their signatures. Many of those to Lord Bloomfield touch on matters of diplomacy, while those to Dean Stanley shed light on late 19th century church affairs.

The letters were possibly originally numbered on the pages of the volume with the correspondents identified also on the pages by Lady Bloomfield. The letters have subsequently been renumbered, on the letters, and dates and correspondents listed [by Roger Norris c.1990]. The list was checked and expanded to include contents by Michael Stansfield, August 2005.
Lady Georgiana Bloomfield, Reminiscences of Court and Diplomatic Life, 2 vols. (1883).

CADD 87   1801 - 1902
Album of letters, signatures, envelopes, concert programmes, menus, invites etc. (some only loosely inserted) assembled by Georgiana, Baroness Bloomfield (1822-1905, née Liddell, daughter of 1st Baron Ravensworth and wife of the diplomat, John Arthur Douglas Bloomfield, 2nd Baron Bloomfield).
Although asembled in the form of an autograph album, many of the letters hold significant interest for their contents as well as their signatures (e.g. no.137, a letter from Charles Dickens commenting on the way in which Edward Bulwer Lytton, 1st Earl of Lytton, had influenced the ending of Great Expectations, or no.194, a letter from Liszt with a short autograph piece of music, or no.201A, a sketch plan of the battle of Balaclava by Lord Cardigan). Family connections as well as her husbands's diplomatic career gave Lady Bloomfield a wide acquaintance among the most eminent people of the day, both in Britain and abroad and much of the material is correspondence generated in the course of that career. Internal evidence in the album reveals that she also actively solicited contributions to her collection of autographs, both autographs and letters, from appropriately distinguished people. Item 1, and some indications in other letters, suggest that some of the material was supplied by her niece, Edith, Lady Lytton, wife of 1st Earl of Lytton. The material comes generally from Lady Bloomfield's time as maid of honour to Queen Victoria (December 1841 to July 1845), as a diplomat's wife in St Petersburg (1845-1851), Berlin (1851-1860) and Vienna (1860-1871). Her husband retired in 1871 and died in 1879 but Lady Bloomfield continued to collect material up to her own death in 1905. Dating of undated material has often been attempted on the basis of when a certain person may thus have come within Lady Bloomfield's milieu.
The material is generally grouped by category of author [in Lady Bloomfield's arrangement); the authors include the following (a far from complete list) :

John Mitchinson's “Durham Churches”. Notes and descriptions of the older churches in Durham diocese, embellished with some pencil and occasionally watercolour sketches of features and a few of W. Davison of Alnwick's 1824/6 engravings of churches. Originally compiled by Mitchinson (1833-1918) when at Durham School and during vacations from Oxford 1845-1856, and subsequently revised up to c.1900. There are also 2 sections, each ordered alphabetically, of photographs of the churches, almost all undated but probably of the late 1800s and up to c.1910. The descriptions have been cross-referenced to both sets of photographs.

Newspaper cuttings scrapbooks recording the career of Canon Dawson Dawson-Walker, his academic achievements and various roles at Durham University, along with printed sermons, addresses, lectures, reviews, and correspondence of his, with some notice of his contemporaries in the Church (F.J. Chavasse bishop of Liverpool, John Charles Wright archbishop of Sydney), at Durham (Thomas Jones, Harry Butler Smith, Henry Ellershaw), and in Bradford (Sidney Singleton, Dr W.H. Keeling, Augustus Bell Sewell, Arthur Emile Yeadon). There is also some notice of local events in and around Durham and, in the later years, of the activities, athletic and academic achievements and early careers of his sons (Edwin Felvus (physician), Richard Harvey (clergyman), Eric Dawson (clergyman)) and the work of his wife as president of the Durham Diocese Mothers' Union. Most of the cuttings are from Durham papers - The Durham County Advertiser, Durham Chronicle and the Durham University Journal - with some Bradford, Yorkshire and national papers also included, and the Church Family News and The Record. Occasional letters, telegrams, service papers, invites and programmes are inserted. The paper, date and occasional comments are recorded by [Dawson Dawson-Walker].
4 scrapbooks
Canon Dawson Dawson-Walker (1868-1934) was born in Bradford as Dawson Walker, the son of Richard Felvus Walker. He was educated at the grammar school there and won an open classical scholarship to Corpus Christi College, Oxford, taking his B.A. in 1891. He went on to gain the degrees of M.A. (1894), B.D. (1901) and D.D. (1905) from Oxford and (ad eundem) Durham. He was ordained deacon in 1892 and priest in 1893 in Ripon diocese and served as a curate in Bradford from 1892. He began his career at Durham University in 1893, becoming a lecturer in classics then, followed by posts as chaplain to University College in 1895, theological tutor in 1898, and censor of the unattached students in 1901. He was appointed Professor of Biblical Exegesis and chaplain to St Hild's College in 1910 and served as Principal of St John's College from 1912 until 1919 when he was appointed Professor of Divinity and Ecclesiastical History and a canon of Durham Cathedral. He wrote The Gift of Tongues (1906), St Paul's Letters to Corinth (1909), The Epistle to the Colossians and the Epistle to Titus (1926) and was co-editor of English Church Manuals and The Churchman from 1910 to 1914. He also served as examining chaplain to the bishop of Durham from 1909 and the bishop of Sodor and Man 1912-1925, commissary to the archbishop of Sydney (1910) and in Durham served as chaplain to the Durham County Hospital (1901) and the Durham Corporation (1918). He married in 1899 Mary Maud Jane, daughter of E.H. Featherston. He was known for an evangelical outlook and was popular amongst sections of the non-conformist community, having taught in his pre-Oxford days in the Eastbrook Wesleyan Sunday Schools in Bradford.

The admiralty court material may have once been part of the series now TNA HCA24 (High Court of Admiralty: Instance and Prize Courts: Interrogatories Files 1541-1733).

Thomas Cradock was the grandson of John Cradock (d.1627), vicar of Gainford, Woodhorn and Northallerton, canon of Durham, spiritual chancellor of Durham and archdeacon of Northumberland. His father was Sir Joseph Cradock of Harperley (d.1686), lawyer and commissary of Richmond. Thomas was his only surviving son. He was also a lawyer, a fellow of Trinity Hall Cambridge and had become attorney general of the diocese of Durham in 1664 and commissary of Richmond archdeaconry in 1680. In addition to his father's inheritance, he received Woodhouses colliery, subject to a small annuity to John Cradock, and the butlerage or pipage on all wines imported by sea into Cumberland, Westmorland, Northumberland, Durham and Yorkshire (bought by his father for the lifetime of his then two sons). Thomas also did well out of his marriages to first Sibella Clarke (d.1669), coheiress of Dr Gabriel Clarke archdeacon of Durham and master of Greatham, and then Dorothy Heath (d.1709), daughter of Nicholas Heath of Little Eden. His children, Betty and Joseph, predeceased him. He was buried in Durham Cathedral on 28 February 1689.
With no direct descendants, he drew up his will to benefit a variety of relatives and associates, creating complications which his executors struggled to cope with. The beneficiaries of his will were:
1. His widow, Dorothy, who had his estates at Bradley, Gainford and Quarry Hill in Brancepeth with £500 for herself and her relations.
2. Relatives of his eldest sister Elizabeth (d.1678), wife to Ralph Hutton of Mainsforth (d.1680): £50 to William Boutflower, widower of their eldest daughter Elizabeth; £50 to his daughter Elizabeth; £100 each to Frances and Anne Hutton.
3. His next sister Margaret (died after 1693) wife of Ralph Bowes of Bradley; £50 to George, their eldest son; £100 each to his daughters Margaret and Mary.
4. A small legacy to the stepdaughter of his youngest sister Anne, second wife to Thomas Musgrave, dean of Carlisle (both dead by 1689) , later wife to Ralph Shippersdon of Hallgarth.
5. His elder half-sister Jane, wife to first Thomas Thweng of Kilton Castle (daughters Ann and Jane) and then Tocketts of Tocketts, received a small legacy.
6. His younger half-sister Peregrina, wife to Sir William Chaytor of Croft, £100; their children Thomas and Ann small bequests.
7. Described as cousins were: the Whittinghams of Holmside; the Wrens of Binchester; the “four cousins Cradock of Bishop Auckland”; other Cradock cousins of Gainford and Hornsey and Dr Zachary Cradock, provost of Eton College; cousin Henry Saville and his 3 sisters; cousin John Harrison and aunt Ann Bowes; and other more obscure cousins, William Killinghall, Bailes, Dolemas, Banners of Sergeant's Hall, Vane, Sidgwick and Atrix (Ettrick).
8. Trinity Hall (Cambridge), Gray's Inn (London), Bow church (Durham), widows of the clergy, the binding of their sons as apprentices, the poor of the North Bailey (Durham), Richmond and Witton-le-Wear, Mr Nelson to teach navigation and, especially, the founding of a Durham workhouse or factory.
9. His lands at Gainford, Quarryhill and Bradley were to go after his wife's decease to his cousin Richard Cradock, his nephew Thomas Bowes, and his great-nephew Thomas Bowes, son of George Bowes.
10. The rest of his estate was to go to his nephews Ralph Hutton and Thomas Bowes who, with his widow, were to execute the will whose legacies amounted to £2606, with the annuities totalling £212, along with some small gifts.
The will engendered a number of disputes. The widow was dissastisifed. The corporation of Durham obtained a commission to investigate various unpaid legacies and battled to get the workhouse built. Isaac Basire claimed an unpaid loan which was dismissed. The death of the widow, Dorothy Cradock, in 1709 brought the Quarryhill estate to Thomas Bowes who also gained property, including Woodhouses, on the death of his uncle Cuthbert Bowes in 1714.
The deaths of the nephews and executors Thomas Bowes in 1718 and Ralph Hutton in 1719 brought the Cradock trust estate into the hands of Thomas Bowes's eldest son, Thomas. His litigious nature has generated the bulk of the material that this collection comprises, principally correspondence with lawyers. Much of this revolved around the title to the estate and colliery of Woodhouses involving George Nixon, the lessee, and bringing in the heirs at law of Sir Joseph Cradock, and one Thomas Cradock of London, a cordwainer, and a debt of £1800 due to Bowes's neighbour William Belasyse of Brancepeth who claimed security for the proposed sale of Woodhouses from Bowes's estate of Quarryhill. The case landed Bowes in prison and finally a commission in 1752 decided on the shares of those entitled to the freehold and copyhold partition of Woodhouses, shortly after Bowes's own death.
Presented to the Cathedral Library by D.S. Boutflower [1928] (a note of 18 September 1928 from “D.S.B.” presents the notebook and “formal letter”).
Probably in the library of Sir Henry Clavering, 10th and last baronet. Originally belonged to Joshua Douglas, town clerk of Newcastle, whose daughter married Sir Thomas Clavering, dying without issue. It was bought at auction in London by Thomas Randell of Ryton rectory, Co Durham, for 3 guineas ( “many years ago” (in 1912)) who then sold it on to Revd D.S. Boutflower again for 3 guineas on 16 August 1912. (From notes and a receipt on the inside front cover.)
Formerly numbered “24” within a circle.
Originally sorted into rough category of document and then chronological, numbered thus in pencil and stuck into a volume. Then renumbered into the present chronological order in blue crayon (so that the volume is now not in number order), when a manuscript list and index was also made which identifies the page number in the volume of each item.
Discussed in D.S. Boutflower, “Thomas Cradock's Estate”, (Archaeologia Aeliana, 3rd series, xv, 1918), p.44-56.
