• William Huddleston, who settled at Swaston (six miles south of Cambridge) in consequence of his marriage with one of the co-heiresses of John Neville, Marquis Montague, was of an ancient family in Cumberland. His son, Sir John Huddleston, entertained the Princess Mary at his house, immediately after the death of her brother. King Edward VI., and contrived her escape to Framlingham Castle, for which

• his house was plundered by the mob, who took part with Lady Jane Grey. The princess is said to have been conveyed to Framlingham "on a double horse behind Mr. Huddleston's servant." On her accession to the throne, she rewarded her protector by bestowing on him the honour of knighthood, and making him Vice-chamberlain. It has been said also, that she gave him a great part of the materials of Cambridge Castle to rebuild his house at Swaston. It may be observed, however, that this ancient mansion is chiefly composed of brick ; the date corresponds with the tradition, for it appears it was built in 1557. ____________________
