- CHAPTER VII. FAMILY NOTES (1).
- THE CLIFTON PEERAGES.
- The present Baroness Clifton of Leighton Bromswold was born in 1900. succeeded her Father, the Earl of Darnley, when she was seven months old, and is the seventeenth holder of the title. The Barony was created in 1608 when Sir Gervase Clifton of Leighton Bromswold was ennobled by King James I. His father was William Clifton of Barrington, fourth son of the Sir Gervase who married Alice Nevil, and whose brass effigy in the Church is dated 1491. This William Clifton sought his fortune in London and married Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Blount, and having acquired great wealth, bought Barrington which he left to his son Sir Gervase, created Lord Clifton, who was therefore cousin of the "gentle" Sir Gervase Clifton of Clifton. The first Baron was imprisoned in the Tower of London, and "killed himself for ennui," leaving an only daughter Catherine. Catherine was first of all Miss Clifton; then Baroness Clifton in her own right: then by her marriage she became Lady Esme Stuart; upon her husband being created an Earl in 1619, she became Countess of March; and when he succeeded his brother in 1624 as third Duke, she became Duchess of Lennox. Her children included:—1. The fourth Duke of Lennox. 2. Lord D'Aubigny (Ancestor of the Dukes D' Aubigny). 3. Cardinal Stewart, who however did not live to be clothed in scarlet. 4. the Earl of Litchfield. 1. The Countess of Arundel (Ancestor of the Dukes of Norfolk). 2. The Countess of Angus (Ancestor of the Dukes of Hamilton). 3. The Countess of Portland.

- Clifton Family of Clifton: a brief history
- The Clifton family trace their lineage back to Alvaredus de Clifton, a Norman knight who was appointed Warden of Nottingham Castle in the time of William the Conquerer, and who took his name from the south Nottinghamshire village in which he settled. Sir Gervase de Clifton purchased the manors of Clifton and Wilford from the de Rodes family in the late 13th century.
- The Clifton family built up a considerable estate in south Nottinghamshire, including the manor of Broughton Sulney [Upper Broughton], and lands in Kinoulton. The Clifton family continued to be based at Clifton Hall until it was sold in the 1950s.
- Sir Gervase de Clifton (d 1324) served as Sheriff of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire in 1279 and on three other occasions, and was also Sheriff of Yorkshire four times. He was briefly imprisoned for irregularities relating to a writ. He sat as M.P. for Nottinghamshire in 1294, and many of his descendents also took up local positions.
- A later Sir Gervase de Clifton (1313-1391) was Sheriff and Escheater for Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire in 1345, and M.P. in 1347-48, and in 1367 was a member of the Commission of Array for Nottinghamshire.
- His grandson Sir John de Clifton sat as M.P. for Nottinghamshire in 1402 and was also Sheriff of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. He was created a Knight Banneret on the morning of the Battle of Shrewsbury in 1403, but was killed later that day in the service of King Henry IV.
- Sir John's marriage in 1382 to Catherine, daughter of Sir John Cressy, led to the Cliftons' acquisition of Hodsock and other estates in the north of Nottinghamshire, as well as in adjacent parts of Yorkshire. Sir Gervase Clifton (d 1453) also sat as M.P. for Nottinghamshire, in 1425-26, and was a magistrate for the county a number of times. His grandson Sir Gervase Clifton (1438-1491) was a loyal supporter of the Yorkists and received many honours and appointments including Treasurer of Calais in 1482. He fought at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485 on the side of King Richard III.
- One of the most illustrious members of the family was Sir Gervase Clifton (d 1588), known as 'Gervase the Gentle'. He succeeded his father while still an infant, and was a favourite of successive Tudor monarchs. He was succeeded by his own infant grandson, Gervase (1587-1666), known as 'Gervase the Great'. This Gervase was created a Baronet in 1611, and spent many years as an M.P. He was also known for having had seven wives.
- Members of the Clifton family continued to take local offices and serve as Members of Parliament. With the sale of Hodsock Priory to the Mellish family in 1765 (see the Mellish papers, Me) the Clifton family began to concentrate their estates in south Nottinghamshire. When Sir Robert Clifton, the 9th Baronet, died in 1869 without issue, the estates descended to Henry Robert Markham, who took the name Clifton. Henry also died childless. The next owner of Clifton Hall was his second cousin, Sir Hervey Juckes Lloyd Bruce. In 1919 his son Lt-Col. Percy Robert Bruce changed his family name to Clifton. The last Clifton owner of the estates was Lt-Col. Peter Thomas Clifton (1911-1996). In 1947 he sold 944 acres in Clifton to Nottingham City Council for a housing estate. In 1953 an auction of the contents of Clifton Hall took place, and Lt-Col. Clifton moved to Home Farm in Clifton. In 1958 he sold the remainder of his estate in Clifton and Barton in Fabis and moved to Dummer in Hampshire, severing the family's 700-year old links with the area.
