The Manor of Lackham IV : 19 th & 20 th century owners Vernon 207 states that Sir George Errington, was one of the trustees, but there are problems with this; he doesn’t appear on the list of Trustees from Mary Stapleton Bretherton’s will of 1882. This may be explained if Ms Vernon was using a list of the trustees included in an indenture dated 1893, where he is named 208 . However there are problems with this idea as well; one of the Trustees in the 1893 list 209 was dead before Mary’s will was made….. Be that as it may, George Errington was a Trustee for the estate when he “moved in” and was related to Mary Stapleton Bretheron. Looking at the list of Trustees from the Indenture of 1893 it is interesting to note that one of them, Lord Petre, was father in law to Mary Stapleton Bretherton’s son Frederick. Fredrick Stapleton Bretherton had married Lord Petre’s daughter Isabella Mary in 1869 210 . Sir George Errington was certainly resident in 1886 and active in local affairs 211 . 207 Vernon, T (1969) A Short History of the Lords of the Manor of Lackham from Saxon days (pamphlet) Wiltshire College of Agriculture 208 W&SHC 44/4 Indenture dated 12 September 1893 Trustees given as Charles Hugh Clifford (Baron Clifford), George Errington, ), William Joseph Petre (Lord Petre) and ), John Gerard Ridell 209 Charles Hugh Clifford (Baron Clifford) died 14 Aug 1880 210 W&SHC 44/4 211 In a report on the opening of the Chippenham Free Reading Rooms, (planned for the previous afternoon), the Wiltshire and Trowbridge Gazette, of Sat January 30 th 1886, p5 noted that "Owing to the death of Archbishop Errington Sir George Errington of Lackham was not expected to attend the ceremony" DNB p816 for details on the Archbishop. He was also named George. Archbishop George Errington (1804-1886) was the second son of Thomas Errington and Catherine, daughter of Walter Dowdall of Dublin. George was born 14th September 1804 at Clintz, in Yorkshire and held many important positions within the Catholic Church in England. In October 1855 he was sent to clear up the financial embarrassments of the diocese of Clifton in Bristol. He was known as "The Iron Archbishop" He died at Prior Park in Bath, which belonged to the Diocese of Clifton, on 19th January 1886 and was buried on the 26th in the College church. "He was a man of inflexible integrity and profound erudition" Sir George Errington of Lackham was his nephew 69
The Manor of Lackham IV : 19 th & 20 th century owners Sir George Errington, 1 st Bart (created 18 th July 1885), was born at Rockfield in Co. Dublin, Ireland, in 1839. He was the eldest son of Michael Errington, of Clintz, Yorkshire ,and his wife Rosanna, the youngest daughter. of Ambrose More-O'Ferrall, of Balyna co. Kildare In 1892 he married Frances Helena, the eldest daughter. of Hermann Robert de Ricci, of Molesey House, Surrey, on 11 th August 1849. She was the widow of John Shuldham, of Moigh, co.Longford. He was educated at Ushaw College. and at the Catholic University in Dublin 212 , George Errington was MP for Co Longford 1874-1885 and JP for Co's Wexford, Tipperary and Longford. He was High Sheriff of Longford in 1888 and of Wexford in 1901 213 . From these dates it can be seen that he certainly wasn't resident at Lackham permanently. Indeed, even though he was a life tenant 214 he wasn't living at Lackham all his life (he died in 1920). He was not, for example, at Lackham on the day of the 1871 census, and only 5 staff were present and he sold the estate in 1883 (see below). 215 212 Walford, E.(1919) The county families of the United Kingdom; or, Royal manual of the titled and untitled aristocracy of England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland ..
