"Hard by is Ullock; the seat of J. Radcliff, Esq; a descendant of the Derwentwater family; he is the last that I know of in this country, and has no children; so that the name may probably become extinct; for James the last Earl of Derwentwater, (who was beheaded in 1716,) had only one son and one daughter; the son died unmarried, and the daughter married Lord Petre."
