WARDE-NORBURY OF HOOTON PAGNELL

The records catalogued with the prefix letter `A' were found in the estate office at Hooton Pagnell. They are concerned with the business of the agent from the 1890s and include papers relating to coal royalties and the church and village of Hooton Pagnell.

The records catalogued with the prefix letter `B' were found in the gatehouse of the Hall. They were mostly generated by the varied interests of Sarah Julia Warde-Aldam. They reflect her interest in Conservative politics, the Church of England and charitable activities in the locality. There are also records related to her son's candidature in the General Election of 1923 and his year as Sheriff of Yorkshire in 1940-1941.

The acquisition of the Hooton Pagnell estate by the Warde family of Pontefract is explained in the introduction to Doncaster Archives catalogue reference HP. The history of the family from the late nineteenth century is as follows. In 1878, Sarah Julia (died 1931), the surviving daughter of Rev. William Warde of Hooton Pagnell, married William Wright Aldam (1853-1925), the heir of the adjoining Frickley estate. The groom adopted the surname of Warde-Aldam. One of their sons, William St. Andrew (1882-1958) inherited the Hooton Pagnell estate from his parents and another, John Ralph Patentius (born 1892) inherited the Frickley estate. The Hooton Pagnell estate descended to Mary Betty (daughter and heir of Col. W St A Warde-Aldam) and her husband, Major HG Norbury, who took the surname of Warde-Norbury in 1958. The estate is now (1997) in the possession of their son, Mr WGA Warde-Norbury.
