Ancestry of Harold Edward D’Arcy Hutton (1872 – 1946)

Harold Edward D’Arcy Hutton Harold Edward D’Arcy Hutton (26 December 1872 – 19 February 1946) and Lilias Marion Louise Mackenzie (22 March 1869 – 18 April 1945) was a descendant of Timothy Hutton (1569-1629), who bought the Manor of Marske in 1598 with money from his father, Matthew Hutton (1529 – 1606), Archbishop of York from 1595 to 1606, who had been master of Pembroke Hall, Cambridge. Timothy Hutton married Elizabeth Bowes, the daughter of Sir George Bowes (1558-1603), an English military commander, who was descended from Edward II and Isabella of France. [i]

The family name became D’Arcy Hutton as the result of marriages between the D’Arcy and Hutton families. In 1864, John Timothy D’Arcy Hutton I[ii] (1822 –1874), a magistrate and the father of Harold Edward D’Arcy Hutton, inherited Marske Hall and Aldburgh Hall from his cousin, James Henry D’Arcy Hutton of Aldburgh.[iii]

Marske Hall, Richmond, north Yorkshire, not to be confused with Marske Hall at Marske on Sea, was built in the classical style on the site of an older house. It is a plain, commodious, stone mansion, remodelled and extended c1735 and a stable block added by John Hutton II in 1750. John Hutton IV (1774-1841) planted trees, built a Gothic barn as an eye catcher and erected an obelisk in the deer park as a monument to his brother, Matthew, who died in 1814. In 1841, John Hutton IV founded the village school in Maske and endowed £20 p.a. for the instruction of 40 pupils.

John Timothy II died in 1931 and Scarborough College was evacuated to Marske Hall in 1940. The Hall was listed as a Grade II building on 19 December 1951.[iv]

John Timothy III died in 1957, leaving effects valued at £171,087 15 1d. with probate to Norman Spencer Mumby. The house was eventually sold and divided into ten flats. In 2012, it was offered for sale with 19 acres for £2.5 million.

Roger Tempest bought the stables in 2009 and sought permission to convert them into nine luxury self-catering accommodation, but the work was never carried out.

In December 2017, Marske Hall was on the market with one acre of land for £950,000.[v]

Aldburgh Hall, Masham, north Yorkshire, was built in 1625 on the banks of the River Yore in the Harrogate district of north Yorkshire. It is a stone building, consisting of a centre and two wings. ‘The monks of Fountain Abbey possessed lands and had a grange at Aldburgh, which were seized by Henry VIII at the Reformation. At the end of the 16th century, Aldburgh was sold to Sir Roger Beckwith and purchased by an ancestor of James D’Arcy Hutton soon after 1743’.

John Timothy D’Arcy Hutton I (1822- 24 Oct 1874) renewed the front of the Hall in 1870.

Today, Aldburgh Hall is a Cheshire Foundation nursing home.[vi]
