Page 58:-  "... this once rich and flourishing family [Threlkeld Family] never having had any castle or strong-hold at Threlkeld-Hall, at least that I can hear of; ... I can trace no remains of the Threlkeld family at present, except one who lives at Wolverhampton: the last that resided on their paternal estate was John Threlkeld, who sold Patterdale-Hall to the Mounseys, and Threlkeld to the Irtons. This estate is now the property of John Spedding, Esquire."
