JOLLIFFE DURHAM ESTATE

The Jolliffe Durham estate in Chester-le-Street, to which the bulk of these records relate, was derived from the Chester Deanery estate of John Hedworth who died in 1747. Hedworth's estate included the freehold manor or deanery of Chester; and mines at Chester-le-Street and Waldridge Common; staithes at Fatfield; land in Ouston, Birtley, Pelaw and Fatfield; a copyhold estate in the manor of Chester Deanery; and a leasehold estate held from the Bishop of Durham and the Lambton family.

This property was inherited by Hedworth's two daughters, Eleanor, wife of Sir Richard Hylton, and Elizabeth, wife of Sir Ralph Milbanke. It was Eleanor's moiety of the property which formed the basis of the Jolliffe Durham estate when her only daughter, also Eleanor, married William Jolliffe of Petersfield, Hampshire in 1769.

In 1801 the Jolliffe family commenced a lengthy process to separate their moiety of the Deanery estate from that inherited by the Milbanke/Noel family, by requesting a commission to separate the manor of Chester. The first commission expired, and a further commission of partition was issued on 4 June 1821. The commissioners made an award dividing the Chester estate in October of that year, and the partition was ratified by a deed of 1825, whereby the freehold coal mines were awarded to Jolliffe and Noel as tenants in common, and freehold land at Ouston, Birtley, Pelaw and Fatfield, with a moiety of the Fatfield coal staithes, was awarded to Sir Ralph Noel. All remaining freehold, leasehold and copyhold estate was awarded to Hylton Jolliffe of Merstham, Surrey.

For a valuation of the Chester estate of Sir Ralph Milbanke and William Jolliffe, dated 27 October 1798, see EP/CS 14/66; and for plans of the estate see D/BO/G 10 (xxii - xxiii).

Hylton Jolliffe devised the Durham estate to his son, Charles, who purchased the freehold reversion in the leasehold portion of the estate from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners in 1861. The estate passed to Charles' son, Charles Hylton Jolliffe, in 1869.

Until the later nineteenth century, much of the Jolliffe Durham estate was leased out on short term leases. Thereafter, the estate was gradually sold off by Jolliffe, and by the estate trustees, under the provisions of the Jolliffe Will Trust, 1869, and the Jolliffe Resettlement Trust, 1920.

JOLLIFFE ESTATE OUTSIDE COUNTY DURHAM

When John Hedworth's granddaughter married William Jolliffe of Petersfield in 1769, the Chester Deanery estate was added to Jolliffe family estates in Derbyshire, Hampshire, Surrey and Sussex. The eldest son of this marriage, Hylton Jolliffe (1773 - 1843) had only a life interest in the principal estates outside County Durham for want of a legitimate heir. The main estates in Hampshire and Surrey passed to Hylton's nephew, William George Hylton Jolliffe, and only the Durham estate at Chester-le-Street, together with Hylton family property in Cumberland, descended to Hylton Jolliffe's eldest son, Charles.

This collection includes family settlements of the principal Jolliffe estates outside County Durham in the period 1769 to 1850
It also includes a few deeds and papers relating to the residence of Charles Hylton Jolliffe (d. 1925) at Alderminster, Worcestershire.
