Robert Surtees

1782-1857

In 1811 he married Elizabeth Cookson (1783-1847) and the couple had four children, three sons and a daughter. Their eldest son Robert Lambton Surtees (1812-1863) inherited the house in 1857 but he died six years later in 1863. Because he had not married and had no descendants the property was then passed to his younger brother Henry Edward Surtees.

Henry Edward Surtees (1819-1895) added the Jacobean style spiral stone staircase and galleried Baronial Hall in the early 1890s.[7] In 1843 he married Eliza Snell Chauncey and had two daughters but unfortunately she died in 1857. He then married in 1870 Mary Isabella Adams and had two sons.[8] He was in the 10th Hussars for some years in 1864 was elected as a Member of Parliament. The 1881 Census shows him living at Redworth Hall with his second wife Mary Isabella who is 30 years his junior, three of his younger children, a governess, a ladies maid, a butler, a footman, a nurse and three house servants.

When he died in 1895 the house was inherited by his eldest son Henry Siward Balliol Surtees (1873-1955). In 1898 he married Helen Winifred Muriel Thomson only child of John James Thomson of Camphill, County Renfrew.[9] The couple had a son and two daughters.
