  • ' * The testator was the son and heir of Sir Richard Copley, of Batley, by his second wife Elizabeth Harrington'. He was a lawyer, and made a large fortune. His will is valuable in many respects. He was twice married, according to Mr Hunter : 1. to Margaret, daughter and co-heir of John Saint Loe, of Gunnersby co. Lincoln. (I question this marriage, as it is not mentioned by the testator when he mentions the other.) 2. to Margaret, daughter of Sir William Ryther of Ryther; but it does not appear that he left children by either. His wealth was dispersed among his relatives and friends. ....

  • NETHER HALL.
• In the immediate vicinity of the town, is seated the retired old mansion called Nether Hall, formerly the residence of a family named Sewer.
