Easby Supplementary

In 1822, the following places were in
the Parish of Easby:

---

"ASKE, in the parish of Easby, wapentake of Gilling West, and liberty of Richmondshire; 2 miles NNW. of Easby, 1½ mile N. of Richmond. This small township consists of a few straggling houses occupied by the tenants of Lord Dundas, who is lord of the manor, and has a very beautiful seat here (Aske Hall). Pop. 109.

The family of Dundas is descended from Gospatrick, Earl of Northumberland, who, 1066, went into Scotland with King Malcolm Canmore, rather than submit to the Conquerer. King Malcolm gave him lands of Dunbar, and many other possessions in Scotland. Sir Lawrence Dundas, father of the late Lord, was created a baronet in 1762, and the late lord was elevated to the barony of Aske in 1794, who was succeeded by the present lord in 1821. -Debrett's peerage.

Sir Lawrence Dundas purchased the Manor of Aske of the last Earl of Holderness, in 1760, or 1762, in which family it has ever since remained. --Whitaker."
