Historia biográfica
William Robinson (d. 1616), Lord Mayor of York in 1581, acquired estates in and near York (Clifton and Rawcliffe, North Riding) and at Newby (near Topcliffe, North Riding). Sir William Robinson, fourth Bt (d. 1770), of Newby Park, sold the reversion of the Clifton estate to his uncle Thomas Robinson, 1st Baron Grantham (d. 1770), a younger son of Sir William Robinson, first Bt (d. 1736). Following the death of the 4th Bt without issue, the 3rd Baron Grantham (1781-1859) succeeded to the remaining unsold estates of the senior Robinson line, including Newby and Dishforth (North Riding) and property in Wensleydale (Askrigg, etc, North Riding). He also inherited Newby Hall (near Ripon, West Riding) and other estates of the Weddell family; and in 1833 succeeded to the Wrest Park estates as second Earl De Grey.
On Lord De Grey's death in 1859 the De Grey estates passed to his elder daughter Ann, Baroness Lucas, who married the 6th Earl Cowper, and the Newby Hall estate to his younger daughter Lady Mary Vyner. Of the Robinson properties, the Askrigg and Clifton estates passed to the Cowper and Vyner families, but the Newby Park estate passed to Lord De Grey's nephew George Robinson, 2nd Earl and 1st Marquess of Ripon (1827-1909).
Frederick Robinson (1782-1859), younger brother of the 2nd Earl De Grey and Prime Minister 1827-8, was created Viscount Goderich in 1827 and Earl of Ripon in 1833. In 1814 he married Sarah, only daughter of the 4th Earl of Buckinghamshire (d. 1816), through whom he succeeded to the Nocton (Lincolnshire) estate inherited by the 3rd Earl from the Ellis family. In 1845, on the death of Elizabeth Lawrence, he further succeeded to the West Riding estates of her grandfather William Aislabie (d. 1781), including Studley Royal, inherited through Aislabie's mother from the Mallory family, and the adjoining Fountains Abbey estate, purchased in 1767.
Following the death of the 2nd Marquess of Ripon in 1923 the Studley Royal and Fountains Abbey estate was acquired by his cousin Clare George Vyner, younger son of Lady Alwyne Compton-Vyner.
Estates in 1883: Yorks NR and WR 14,668 acres, Lincs 7,102 acres, total 21,770 acres worth £29,126 a year.

Between Hy Newark, plaintiff and Wm Robinson, Esq., defendant. The King was formerly siezed in demesne as of fee of the Manor of Acombe alias Acom with appurtenances in Acombe, Howlgate, Bowthome, Clifton and Skelton. Certain of the lands and tenements were demisable by copy of Court Roll at a rent of £4 7s 7½d and were thus granted by Letters Patent of 19 June 10 James 1 (1612) to the plt. For 40 years. The dft. was seised of the manor of Clifton and was also possessed of all or most of the said premises of the manor of Acomb, which he had enclosed with other lands, removing the boundary stones, He refused to pay the rent of £4 7s 7½d. he had however paid 29s 2d as his share of that rent until 2 years ago, when he entered the property without surrender or admittance. The dft. replied that he was seized in fee of certain lands in Clifton but denied that rent was owed for any of them, He acknowledged, however, that he and his late father, Ald. Wm Robinson used to pay to the king 29s 2d p.a. as a free rent for certain lands in Clifton formerly belonging to the late Sir Wm Ingleby. He did not know for which lands this was paid, but it was not for any copyhold land. Only 29s 2d was in arrears and he was ready to pay this if the plt. could prove his right to it. It was ordered that the dft. should pay the plt. 29s 2d p.a. and also 20s costs. The court did not determine whether the land was freehold or copyhold.
