| 48904 | Wetheral, Cumberland Historical Description Wetheral, a village and a parish in Cumberland. The village stands on the river Eden, adjacent to the Newcastle and Carlisle railway, 4? miles ESE of Carlisle, enjoys charming environs, has a post, money order, and telegraph office under Carlisle, and a railway station. The parish comprises Cotehill, Cumwhinton, Great Corby, Scotby, and Warwick Bridge. Acreage, 11,331 of land and 158 of water; population of the civil parish, 3272; of the ecclesiastical, with Warwick, 1369. There is a parish council of fifteen members. Corby Castle, originally a castellated edifice, but modernized with a Grecian front, is the seat of the Howards. A Benedictine priory, a cell to St Mary's of York, was founded a little SW of the village in 1088 by Ranulph de Meschines; was given at the dissolution to the Dean and Chapter of Carlisle, and is now represented by a Later English gateway, surmounted by an embattled tower. A railway viaduct of five arches, with roadway 90 feet above the surface of the water, and another bridge of seven arches, and 480 feet in length, span the thickly wooded Eden. Delightful walks lie along the river, above the village, and lead to three caves called Wetheral Safeguards or St Constantine's Cells, cut deeply in a precipice 40 feet above the water, which tradition says were occupied by this saint as a hermitage. A house, called the Folly, stands on a high site a little farther up the river, and commands a superb view. Red freestone and alabaster are worked. The living is a rectory, united with Warwick, in the diocese of Carlisle; net value, ?285 with residence. Patrons, the Dean and Chapter. The church, originally Norman, is now chiefly in the Perpendicular style, consisting of chancel, rebuilt in 1872, nave, N and S aisles, and tower. The nave was restored and the tower rebuilt in 1882. Transcribed from The Comprehensive Gazetteer of England & Wales, 1894-5 -------------------------------- Wetheral is a village, civil parish and electoral ward in Cumbria, England near Carlisle. Wetheral stands high on a bank overlooking a gorge in the River Eden. Parts of the riverbank here are surrounded by ancient woodlands, including Wetheral Woods, owned by the National Trust. Formerly a small ferryboat operated to the village of Great Corby on the opposite bank, and an iron ring can still be found attached to the rocks on the Great Corby side of the river where the ferry would tie up. The Newcastle to Carlisle Railway has a station here at the west end of Corby Bridge (popularly known as 'Wetheral Viaduct') over the Eden which acts also as a footbridge connecting with Great Corby. The station was closed during the Beeching cuts in 1967, but was reopened in 1981. In 1836 one of the very earliest railway accidents happened close to Wetheral station. In the Middle Ages there was a priory at Wetheral. All that is left now is the gatehouse, which is in the care of English Heritage, and some low ruined walls behind the farm buildings that now occupy the site. At the historic core of the village lies the village green, in one corner of which stands Wetheral Cross. The cross previously stood in the centre of the green before it was moved. The green is surrounded by large period houses in different styles. Wetheral Parish Church is dedicated to the Holy Trinity and St Constantine. St Constantine was said to be a Scottish king who relinquished his throne to become a monk. Legend has it that he lived as a hermit in a cave at Wetheral. ?i?From Wiki?/i? | Tully, Dr. William Edward Sr. (I9694)

| 48906 | When Boyd Caldwell tried to force another drive through the McLaren works in the spring of 1880, Peter McLaren sought an injunction against Boyd Caldwell." The judicial decisions 'ping ponged' between for and against Caldwell/McLaren. Caldwell moved on to the political front. Caldwell was successful in obtaining rapid legislative action via his hephew, William C. Caldwell, a member of Mowat's Liberal Pary representing South Lanark County. Although McLaren's father-in-law, William Lees, was also a member of the legislature, he was a member of the opposition Conservative Party. McLaren protested the low toll rates proscribed by the bill and turned to the Federal government of Sir John A. Macdonald who promptly overturned the Ontario Provincial legislation. The two levels of government battled for control through 1882-1883. In 1882, Caldwell's men cut through McLaren dams blocking a drive at the foot of Long Lake and brought 10,000 logs down river to Carleton Place in 1883. McLaren took his case to the Supreme Court of Canada who, on 28 November 1882, ruled in his favour. Caldwell took his case to the highest of all courts, the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in Britian which ruled in 1884 that all waterways were open to all, although private interests could charge a reasonable amount for the use of any improvements leading to the 'Rivers and Streams Act'. ?i?Ron Shaw?/i? | McLaren, Sen.

| 48907 | When he died, he left extensive property in Port Glasgow, particularly the lands and villa of Highholm, but also other properties in the town. The former of these were left by entail, devolving on his son James. The rest were placed in the lands of trustees for the benefit of his other issue. | Anderson, James (I37806)

| 48908 | When his estate put the Virginia holdings on the market, the anticipated repatriation of sale proceeds boosted the value of the Canadian dollaar against the American currency by 12%. ?i?"A property of 100,000 acres of Virginia timber and ore lands was bequeathed to the widow, three daughters and two sons of the late Hon. Peter McLaren of Perth, a member of the Canadian Senate. Senator McLaren died in May 1919 and the estate was probated at $1,000,000. Baltimore interests are now completing, or have completed, negotiations for the purchase of the McLaren property. The authority in the negotiations is the New York office of J. Pierpont Morgan. The price mentioned in the deal is between $25,000,000 and $30,000,000 cash." ?/i? However, despite the hype, the Virginia iron mines had not been profitable. Six years later, the mines were still on the market when an Ontario judge noted that, ?i?"the estate of Peter McLaren was found to be in a very involved condition, his main estate consisting of a large tract of land in Virginia of very uncertain value and which has so faar proved to be unsaleable. The resources of the estate have been somewhat taxed to meet the outgoing obligations for taxes, etc. and the result has been that comparatively small sums have been paid to the beneficiaries. Owing to some dissention in the family as to the management of the estate, an administration decree has been pronounced..."?/i? His trustees were dismissed and disputes over the estate's real value led to litigation for years. Shareholders sued and finally settled for about half the value of their claims. Nevis Cottage remained in McLaren hands for another 35 years. Widow Sophia Lees McLaren died there in 1923 and it was only when daughter Annie Kathleen died in 1954 that the household was broken up. The ?i?"prestigious auction house of Ward-Price of Toronto were brought in and the Senator's chattels fell under the hammer at enormous prices."?/i? | McLaren, Sen. Peter (I13416)

| 48910 | While they were camped at Lachine, en route for Lanark, the father, James Dick, was drowned. A letter has survived which was written young John Dick to his uncle, John Dick, a merchant of Bathgate, Scotland. Dear Uncle: I have the painful task to perform of informing you of the death of our dear father and that our mother and us are all proceeding forward to Upper Canada. My father, next day after we arrived at Lachine, went into the St. Lawrence o bath himself and going into the river at a part where there was a shelf in the shore, not knowing the nature of the river, went over it t once and sank and no one could save him. A farmer, looking to his cattle some distance from the spot, alone was a witness to the fatal accident, but by the time he came forward he was drowned. The accident happened on the 29th of June at half-past eleven o'clock forenoon. Our mother as well as the whole family was in a terrible state at first, in that state which is easier felt than described, but now she seems more resigned to the will of God and the disposition of His Providence. All are reconciled to go to our destination, all believing that our kind father not only risked his life but lost it in the view of putting the family in a better situation than he could place them and leave them in Bathgate. And now he is gone to the place appointed for all living, before seeing this end accomplished, we think it is our duty to do our utmost exertion to bring into effect what he so ardently wished." ?i?letter shared by Ron R. Thompson.?/i? | Dick, James (I19743)
