"Here lies buried the most virtuous Lady Catherine Graham wife of Sir Richard Graham of Netherby in the county of Cumberland, knight and Bart, daughter of Thomas Musgrove of Cumcach Esq and Susanna his wife. Well beloved in her country as being a very hospitable and charitable matron, she died March 1649 in the 48th year of her age leaving behind her 2 sons and 4 daughters namely George, Richard, Mary, Elizabeth, Susanna and Henrietta Maria."
Richard, bc.1583 was the 2nd son of Fergus Graham 1625 of Plump, Kirkandrews-upon-Esk and Sybil daughter of William Bell of Scotsbrig, Middlebie, Dumfries & Brockethouse by Elizabeth Bowmont

Sir Richard came from one of the more obscure branches of a border clan, notorious for its participation in violent raiding, that settled at Plump by the middle of the sixteenth century His elder brother was deported to the Low Countries after a particularly audacious week of pillage in 1603, and his ‘debatable lands’ were granted to George Clifford, 3rd earl of Cumberland. Sir Richard himself ‘came on foot to London and got entertained into ... Buckingham’s service, having some spark of wit, and skill in moss-trooping and horse-coursing’. Despite a temporary loss of office in 1620 after a duel with his employer’s kinsman, a younger son of Basil Feilding*, he was able to lay out £3,955 on the purchase of property in Lincolnshire in 1621-2. As a part-time resident in Cumberland, he endeavoured to reform vice there by building a church and educating the young Appointed customer of Carlisle in 1623, he was granted permission to execute the office by deputy on account of his attendance at Court. In the same year, with Sir Francis Cottington* and Endymion Porter†, he accompanied Buckingham and Prince Charles on their ill-fated journey to Spain to woo the Infanta.
In 1624 the year of his marriage, Richard bought Norton Conyers from his wife’s father (whose own father had purchased it from the Crown in 1593 ) with 'all messuages, granges, mills, lands, tenements, tithes, waters, warrens, leet lawdays, views of frankpledge' and other liberties for £6,500.28 During the autumn he fought a duel with another follower of Buckingham, Sackville Crowe*, but again escaped serious consequences Graham took the credit for persuading Lord Robartes to buy a peerage for £3,000 in 1625, and Edward Clarke* heard that he had been rewarded with a suit valued at £500 a year.

Sir Richard was first elected MP for Carlisle, ten miles from his Cumbrian estate, in 1626, during the mayoralty of his kinsman Edward Aglionby*, who acted as returning officer. He left no trace on the records of the second Caroline Parliament, though he may have heard his transaction with Robartes mentioned in Sir John Eliot’s* report on 24 Mar. 1626 of the charges of corruption levelled against Buckingham. Graham attended his master on the expedition to the Ile de Ré in 1627, and with John Ashburnham* helped to rally a faltering regiment at the landing He was re-elected in 1628, but again went unnoticed in the parliamentary records. On 8 July he re-purchased Nicholl Forest and other ‘debatable lands’ formerly confiscated from his family, from the Cliffords at the favourable price of £7,050.33 After his Buckingham’s assassination he was granted a market and fair on his Cumberland estate, and rebuilt Kirkandrews church in 1637, though in a thoroughly shoddy manner.
Richard was created a baronet in 1629.
He fought on the side of Charles I at the Battle of Edgehill in 1642, where he was severely wounded and lived in the York garrison until 1 July when the city was relieved by Prince Rupert of the Rhine. However Rupert and Newcastle were defeated the next day at the decisive Battle of Marston Moor, where Richard suffered 26 wounds returning home on horseback more dead than alive .
Later taken prisoner while on his way from Oxford to Newark in November 1645, he promptly submitted to Parliament and was thus able to compound for his delinquency at a favourable rate, paying £2,385 on an estate of just under £1,250 a year.
Sir Richard made his will on 26 March 1653, leaving a portion of £1,500 for his only unmarried daughter , named after the queen, Henrietta Maria, and an annuity of £20 for a cousin at whose house in Newmarket he died on 28th January 1654 and was buried here at Wath.
His Cumberland property had been settled on his elder son George who died before the 1660 Restoration of King Charles ll , however his grandson Sir Richard Grahame reeped the rewards for their loyalty to the Crown, and was given a Scottish peerage and represented the county under James II.
His younger son Richard founded another branch of the family at Norton Conyers where they still live . He was created 1st Baronet Graham of Norton Conyers for his loyal services in the Civil War,

Basildon Park
Basildon Park estate was bought by Francis Sykes in 1771.
Sykes had made his fortune in the East India Company and required a home befitting his status. He demolished the original house and employed architect John Carr to build the mansion that survives to this day.
The Sykes family owned the house until 1838.
The Morrison family owned Basildon Park from 1838 to 1928. It was originally bought by Liberal MP James Morrison who passed it to his eldest son Charles. On his death it was inherited by his sister Ellen who died just seven months later, leaving it to her nephew Major James Archibald Morrison.
During the Second World War, the estate was requisitioned. It served several purposes including being used by the 101st Airborne Division of the American Army for D-Day training, and later as a prisoner-of-war camp for German and Italian soldiers. This was all vital to the war effort but inevitably resulted in severe damage to the house and estate.
In 1952 Lord and Lady Iliffe bought the semi-ruined Basildon Park.
The couple set about restoring the house sensitively to its former glory, with the addition of modern-day comforts such as central heating, a contemporary kitchen and bathrooms.
They restored the elegant interior and scoured the country searching for 18th-century architectural fixtures and fittings to fill their comfortable new home.
The fine paintings, fabrics and furniture they bought can still be enjoyed by visitors today.
The house and gardens have been featured in several Film and TV drama productions including Pride and Prejudice, Bridgerton, Downtown Abbey, The Gentlemen and The Crown.
Lord and Lady Iliffe gifted the house, together with 400 acres of parkland, to the National Trust in 1978.

Biography
Heron’s grandfather George, a cadet of the Herons of Chipchase, Northumberland, bought Daresbury near Warrington in about 1755, and by his father’s marriage to Rebecca Rutter, the family added to it the nearby property of Moor Hall.
His army career was uneventful and he spent most of the war years on home service, including a period as brigadier general of Lancashire, an appointment obtained for him in 1804 by Peter Patten, Member for Newton.
Heron’s uncle was one of the trustees of the property of the Leghs of Lyme, patrons of Newton, during the minority of Thomas Legh. He was distantly related to the Leghs through his great uncle, Peter Brooke of Mere, and was a first cousin once removed of Thomas Langford Brooke, who had sat briefly for Newton in 1797 before being unseated on petition in favour of Patten. In 1806, Heron replaced the latter as Member for the borough, but his political career was as unremarkable as his military one. He is not known to have spoken in the House and his only recorded votes were with the Perceval ministry on the Scheldt inquiry, 23 Feb. and 30 Mar. 1810, when the Whigs listed him under ‘Government’; and against Catholic relief, 24 May 1813. The Liverpool ministry numbered him among their supporters in 1812. He made way for Thomas Legh when he came of age in 1814.
Heron had a staff command in Sicily in 1811-12, but when a junior major-general with the same responsibilities was promoted over his head, he applied to Lord Liverpool for some ‘token’ or ‘appointment’ to eradicate any public impression that this incident ‘could be attributable to any demerit of my own’, but nothing seems to have been done for him.
He was described in 1816 as ‘a smart little man, who seems to hold number one, and his teeth so well set, in proper respect’.4 He died 15 Nov. 1848.

The venue makes its money not only from the overpriced beer, but that the accompanying ladies are able to drink most punters under the table. Expect to go through numerous bottles in a sharp fashion, and to be offered additional services, though this depends on the venue, the time of the evening that you go and whether you go in a all male group.

In 1624 the year of his marriage, Richard bought Norton Conyers from his wife’s father (whose own father had purchased it from the Crown in 1593 ) with 'all messuages, granges, mills, lands, tenements, tithes, waters, warrens, leet lawdays, views of frankpledge' and other liberties for £6,500.28 During the autumn he fought a duel with another follower of Buckingham, Sackville Crowe*, but again escaped serious consequences Graham took the credit for persuading Lord Robartes to buy a peerage for £3,000 in 1625, and Edward Clarke* heard that he had been rewarded with a suit valued at £500 a year.

Sir Richard was first elected MP for Carlisle, ten miles from his Cumbrian estate, in 1626, during the mayoralty of his kinsman Edward Aglionby*, who acted as returning officer. He left no trace on the records of the second Caroline Parliament, though he may have heard his transaction with Robartes mentioned in Sir John Eliot’s* report on 24 Mar. 1626 of the charges of corruption levelled against Buckingham. Graham attended his master on the expedition to the Ile de Ré in 1627, and with John Ashburnham* helped to rally a faltering regiment at the landing He was re-elected in 1628, but again went unnoticed in the parliamentary records. On 8 July he re-purchased Nicholl Forest and other ‘debatable lands’ formerly confiscated from his family, from the Cliffords at the favourable price of £7,050.33 After his Buckingham’s assassination he was granted a market and fair on his Cumberland estate, and rebuilt Kirkandrews church in 1637, though in a thoroughly shoddy manner.
Richard was created a baronet in 1629.
He fought on the side of Charles I at the Battle of Edgehill in 1642, where he was severely wounded and lived in the York garrison until 1 July when the city was relieved by Prince Rupert of the Rhine. However Rupert and Newcastle were defeated the next day at the decisive Battle of Marston Moor, where Richard suffered 26 wounds returning home on horseback more dead than alive .
Later taken prisoner while on his way from Oxford to Newark in November 1645, he promptly submitted to Parliament and was thus able to compound for his delinquency at a favourable rate, paying £2,385 on an estate of just under £1,250 a year.
Sir Richard made his will on 26 March 1653, leaving a portion of £1,500 for his only unmarried daughter , named after the queen, Henrietta Maria, and an annuity of £20 for a cousin at whose house in Newmarket he died on 28th January 1654 and was buried here at Wath.
His Cumberland property had been settled on his elder son George who died before the 1660 Restoration of King Charles ll , however his grandson Sir Richard Grahame reeped the rewards for their loyalty to the Crown, and was given a Scottish peerage and represented the county under James II.
His younger son Richard founded another branch of the family at Norton Conyers where they still live . He was created 1st Baronet Graham of Norton Conyers for his loyal services in the Civil War,

One Tsingtoa beer costs 35 RMB - many times the local average but includes use of the VIP room which comes with its own mini disco dance floor, and as many all-singing all-dancing girls as you want to share the beer with.
The venue makes its money not only from the overpriced beer, but that the accompanying ladies are able to drink most punters under the table. Expect to go through numerous bottles in a sharp fashion, and to be offered additional services, though this depends on the venue, the time of the evening that you go and whether you go in a all male group.

A triple-expansion marine engine from the steam tug ‘Chipchase’
The tug was built in 1953 by Clelands (Successors) Ltd, Wallsend-on-Tyne, with engines by Plenty of Newbury. She was built for the Blyth Harbour Commissioners, and later passed to the Seaham Harbour Dock Co, County Durham. The vessel was acquired in 1984 for a project to establish a maritime museum at Maryport, West Cumberland, and taken over by the Town Council in 1986. The vessel was scrapped, but the engines were salvaged, and one set was purchased by the SMM for display in Clydebuilt at Braehead
Though of English make, this object is representative of the triple-expansion type of marine engine, developed to practicality on the Clyde in the 1870s and 80s.
This is important to the collection of marine engines in the SMM as an example of one of the most important types of engine. It also forms a group with part of the boiler front, a boiler feed pump, and a generating set, all from the same vessel, and all at kept together.
Formerly part of the exhibition at Braehead, now moved to Irvine.
