História 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.

He reaffirmed that the dft. had pulled down the barns and carried away the timber to his own land or otherwise disposed of it. He had allowed the dwelling houses to fall down and had converted the timber and chambers thereof to his own use, and had promised to repair the hoses and erect new barns. The complt. denied that the premises were in decay when the dft. entered them. The dft. had not improved the freehold ---. (p.3 missing). He had taken 40 ash trees in addition to all necessary “boots” (allowances for timber for repairs and fuel) and has sold some, used other himself and committed waste in the other woods. Since the suit commenced, the dft. had cut down 4 ash trees worth 6s 8d each and taken them away. He had exchanged and enclosed his land in the manor whereby the complt. Could not distinguish which lands belonged to him nor for which lands the rent was payable to the Crown. And had enclosed his lands with those which were part of the manor in an attempt to disinherit the complt. of the latter. the dft. might have had a lease of the premises for 31 years. But this had expired 6 years ago, since when the dft. had allowed the messuage to become ruinous and had pulled down the barn an cut down trees. All improvements made by the dft. had been solely for his own advantage. Paper. 9 sheets (p.3 missing).
