Catalogue Description

The Marquesses of Bute (including Windsor, Clavering of Chopwell, etc.)
[see also D/CG 2 Bell, D/CG 7 Clavering, D/CG 16 Ravensworth,
D/CG 19 Winlaton, D/CG 26-27 Ryton]

The interests of the Crichton Stuart family in Durham derived from the Mallabars, a Newcastle coal family. The Mallabar heiress, Jane, married Sir John Clavering, 3rd baronet of Axwell (see D/CG 7). Their only son died in 1726 when the Clavering property reverted to the heir male. The Mallabar inheritance, considerably expanded by Dame Jane Clavering, passed to her two daughters: Alice, Viscountess Windsor, and Elizabeth who married Viscountess Dunkerron, son of the Earl of Shelburne. The latter had no issue. The Windsor family possessed extensive estates in Glamorgan including Cardiff Castle. The marriage of Herbert, Viscount Windsor, to Alice Clavering produced no sons but two daughters. The younger daughter, another Alice, married Francis, Viscount Beauchamp (later 2nd Marquess of Hertford), but died in 1772 without surviving issue. The elder daughter Charlotte married John, Viscount Mountstuart (later Lord Cardiff, then Earl of Bute and finally 1st Marquess of Bute). Through this marriage the Butes obtained their princely wealth. They showed a consistency in acquiring heiresses. The 3rd Earl of Bute (Prime Minister 1762-3) possessed extensive estates on Bute and elsewhere in Scotland, he acquired the Luton Hoo estate in Bedfordshire. His marriage to the heiress of the Wortley-Montagues of Wortley Hall, Sheffield (more coal!) provided an endowment for his second son and the latter's successors, the Earls of Wharncliffe. The Wortley Montagues had their own interests in Durham through the Grand Allies.

The 4th Earl and 1st Marquess acquired Cardiff Castle (more coal) and the Durham estates (more coal). The eldest son of the 1st Marquess married the Crichton heiress bringing another cluster of estates in south west Scotland.

In the early 19th century the Butes purchased further properties in Durham from the Earl Cowper, heir of the Chopwell branch of the Claverings. Thus a quantity of Chopwell deeds and papers passed over with the purchase. The interests of the Shelburnes and Hertfords in the Durham estates had meanwhile been bought out, bringing the entire Mallabar inheritance into the hands of the Buttes.

After the death of the 3rd Marquess (the famous convert to Roman Catholicism, builder of Castell Coch etc.) in 1900 the estates were partitioned. Some of the property in Scotland passed to Lord Colum Crichton-Stuart. The Durham estate to Lord Ninian. Both of these gentlemen were minors.

Lord Ninian was killed in the First World War and was succeeded by his son (an infant of 6 months), Major Michael Duncan David Crichton-Stuart, Hereditary Keeper of Falkland Palace, who sold most of the Durham estates in the 1940s and 1950s. The Bute trustees in the twentieth century included members of the premier catholic families of Great Britain - Howards, Talbots etc.

There were considerable overlaps between material originally in the 'Clavering' boxes and that in the 'Butte' boxes. To limit the confusion (though it has proved impossible entirely to overcome it) an approach has been adopted whereby the acquisitions of Dame Jane and her Mallabar kinsmen may be found in the Clavering section (D/CG 7/118-341) although the deeds may be deemed Butte property. This keeps together the Mallabar material for members of that family were interested as trustees and mortgagees in property of the Axwell Claverings which passed to the Greencroft Claverings, not just in the estates to pass through the heiresses to the Buttes. The point of division is c. 1735-38 with the death of Dame Jane, the marriage of Alice to Lord Windsor, and the death of Sir Francis Clavering which passed the Clavering baronetcy to the Greencroft branch.

Occasional matters relating to the Grand Allies (in which Bute kinsmen, the Wharncliffes, had an interest) and the Scottish estates (included in mortgages to the Claytons) are to be found here.

There are also some one hundred and twenty pieces relating to South Wales. The National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth, and the Glamorgan Record Office have large deposits of Bute Welsh estates material including various items relating to County Durham.

Through the marriage of Alice Clavering, daughter and coheir of Sir John Clavering of Whitehouse, baronet, by Dame Jane Clavering, his wife (formerly Jane Mallabar), to the Hon. Herbert Windsor (later 2nd Viscount Windsor and Baron Mountjoy) the following properties passed to the Windsors and thence to the Butes:

A moiety of Margery Emmerson's house, Nicholas Emmerson's house and Thomas Harper's house with all lands and appurtenances (140a 3r 4p) in Tanfield, of the tenement called Thorneley, of the capital messuage and tenement of Bryanslop House in the chapelry of Tanfield, of the lands called Busty Bank with woods, easements etc., of Weed Park (Farm) in the township of Collierley with wayleaves and the right to drive oxen, sheep, etc. from Weed Park to any part of Lanchester Fell; 1/192 part of the lordship of Winlaton; a moiety of Tanfield Moor (boundaries specified); a moiety of Matfenshaugh 14a 1r 32p, Lowfield 4a 3r 38p, Chamberlains Meadow all at Whickham.
