| 24/2/1716 | 24 Feb 1716 execution for treason of James Radclyffe, 3rd Earl of Derwentwater (26 June 1689 – 24 February 1716) an English Jacobite. The Derwentwater Estates were forfeited to the Crown, then given to the Greenwich Hospital in 1735, as a way for the charity to fund itself. They sold Derwentwater House to the Percy family in 1780. In 1796 the Duke of Northumberland appointed James Dormer as commissioner, and replaced Derwentwater House with Bailiffgate House to provide him with accommodation. It was occupied by subsequent Commissioners between 1805 and 1847, and continued in residential use until 1888 when it was taken over by the Duchess’s School. | Copy |
