Sir John Ramsden inherits vast Muncaster estates
Old Lady Muncaster died at Muncaster Castle Cumberland soon after her husband, who died at eighty three in April. The will of Capt. Joseph Pennington bequeaths Muncaster Castle estates to Sir John Ramsden of Bulstrode Park. Ramsden must assume the Pennington name and arms. He is heir to Ramaden estates and much of the former Somerset property. The Sheridan duchy tale explains the Somerset line’s poverty and the creation of the Somerset stone. Ramsden, already wealthy from Huddersfield and other holdings, once sought to buy Huddersfield’s last rival plot. He is tied to the dormant Frecheville barony through marriage. MARQUISE DE FONTENOY.
