Title: Radclyffe/Derwentwater Papers
Dates of creation: 1563-1718
Extent: 5 files
Held by: Ushaw
Origination: Earls of Derwentwater
Language: English and Latin
The title of earl of Derwentwater was originally created for Sir Francis Radclyffe in 1688. Sir Francis was made Baron Tyndale, of Tynedale in Northumberland, as well as Viscount Radclyffe and Langley. He was succeeded by his son Edward, who
married Lady Mary Tudor, daughter of Charles II by his mistress, Mary Davis. It was the 3rd earl of Derwentwater, James, who is perhaps the most widely known member of the Radclyffe family. James was brought up in the exile court of St Germain as a
companion to the young prince, James Francis Edward Stuart, and succeeded to the family title in 1705. In 1715, he joined the Jacobite cause with his brother, Charles, and was subsequently executed for treason in 1716. Following his death, the
Derwentwater title was abolished and the estates were confiscated. However, his son, John, continued to use the title and became titular 4th earl of Derwentwater until his early death in 1731. The 5th earl, Charles, who had fought with James in the
'15, had originally escaped to France but was captured thirty years later on his return to support the 1745 uprising and was executed in 1746. Although the earls of Newburgh, James and Anthony, continued as respective titular 6th and 7th earls of
Derwentwater later in the century, the male hereditary line died out and the title became extinct in 1814.
A collection of original manuscripts and transcripts relating to the earls of Derwentwater and the Radclyffe family. The material itself, mostly letters with some legal papers, is chiefly of a personal nature. It includes information relating to
the finances of the Radclyffe family and the management of the Derwentwater estate. Some letters make reference to the Catholic faith of various members of the family, although there is little on the wider political situation, with the exception of
a series of transcripts relating to the 1715 Jacobite Rising copied from the Clavering MSS held at Durham University Library Special Collections, as well as some printed items on legal acts relating to Catholic lands.
Open for consultation.
Permission to make any published use of material from the collection must be sought in advance from pg.library@durham.ac.uk and, where appropriate, from the copyright owner. The Library will assist where possible with identifying copyright
owners, but responsibility for ensuring copyright clearance rests with the user of the material
The letters and other papers follow the original arrangement of the collection which is broadly chronological. The exception to this arrangement is a handful of letters added to the end of the numbering sequence at a later date.
