Topic: Brownlow of Belton


  
  Belton House - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Belton has been described as a compilation of all that is finest of Carolean architecture, the only truly vernacular style of architecture that England had produced since the time of the Tudors.
As the Brownlows rose from baronets to barons upward to earls and then once again became barons, successive generations made changes to the interior of the house which reflected their changing social position and tastes, yet the fabric and design of the house changed little.
Belton is built of the local Ancaster stone, with a lighter ashlar from Ketton for the quoining.

 Baron Brownlow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Baron Brownlow, of Belton in the County of Lincoln, is a title in the Peerage of Great Britain.
In 1776 he was raised to the peerage as Baron Brownlow, of Belton in the County of Lincoln, chiefly in recognition of his father's services, and chose the title of the Barony from the surname held by his grandmother's ancestors.
In 1810 Lord Brownlow married Sophia Hume, daughter of Sir Abraham Hume, 2nd Baronet, of Wormleybury and Lady Amelia Egerton, great-granddaughter of John Egerton, 3rd Earl of Bridgewater.

 Brownlow - Cust - Chapter 1
In Derbyshire a certain Henry Brownlow owned land at Biggin in Duffield parish in 1526, according to the Records of the Duchy of Lancaster whose descendants were still at Biggin in 1601,† and some of the family lie buried in the neighbouring Church of Kirk Ireton.
Brownlow's has any foundation beyond the fact that the Brownlows of Ordsall and Retford used the arms of the Prothonotary, which were formerly to be seen in Ordsall Church on the monument of Richard Brownlow of Thrumpton, grandson of Welbeck Brownley, who died January 31 St, 1706.
Vincent Brownlow left a son William, eight years of age, who died before 1655, when his sister Joan (who was married first to Robert Rudhall and secondly to Daniel Whitehead), with her daughter Frances Rudhall, sold the four cottages and fourteen acres of land which had come to her from her father Vincent Brownlow.
