The Aldermen Horners of Ripon
A
William Horner of Winksley had a son Thomas in Ripon in 1578
[185]
.He may also have had a son James or Jacob Horner of Grantley.
This James had at least one son Thomas christened in Ripon
[186]
. William of Winksley’s son Thomas Horner
married twice, but his children do not appear to have survived
[187]
. Thomas Horner was an alderman of Ripon
in 1604. This Thomas Horner was a merchant and admitted
to the freedom of the City of York in 1606
[188]
. He was also Chamberlain in York in 1607.
William Horner of Winksley’s line produced most of the mayors
and aldermen of Ripon. Thomas Horner of Pateley Bridge’s, nephew Christopher Horner was Mayor of Ripon in 1651 [190] . Thomas’s brother John Horner of Grantley married and had a family of two sons, Christopher and John [191] . John did not live to see their success as he died in 1598 and his wife Ellen remarried [192] . John’s son Christopher was alderman of Ripon when he was buried on 9 October 1660 [193] . This was at the end of the English civil wars and he must have watched closely as Cromwell rode through Ripon on his way to fight the Prince Charles. Christopher was a Tanner and married Jane Saunderson, the only child of Wilfred Saunderson of Ripon [194] . Wilfred Saunderson was also Mayor of Ripon in 1637. Christopher had a family of thirteen children, eleven of whom survived to adulthood [195] . Christopher had three sons who survived childhood, Wilfred, Thomas and Christopher. His son Christopher married and had a family of four children [196] . His grandson, Christopher ‘of Hollin Close’ had a family of four of whom only one daughter Isabel and one son John survived [197] . Christopher
the mayor’s eldest son, Thomas of Grantley, had a family of eight
children, including three sons, George, Wilfrid and Christopher
[198]
. Thomas Horner was a Tanner and
was warden of the Company of Tanners in Ripon in 1662
[199]
. Thomas’s eldest son George married, but only
one daughter survived to adulthood
[200]
. This George Horner may also have had
lands in Ripon parish at Winksley
[201]
. In his will Wilfred Saunderson bequeathed a Burgage in Netherskellgate
to his wife Margaret, with the remainder going to his son in law
Christopher Horner, and then to Christopher’s eldest son
Thomas Horner
[202]
. Christopher Horner is recorded in the Lenten
fines of St. Wilfrids Church Ripon in 1653
[203]
. Christopher Horner left in his will property
to his eldest son Thomas. This appears to be the same burgage
that Christopher had inherited from Wilfrid Saunderson
[204]
. Christopher’s eldest daughter Esther
married John Buck and they were bequeathed land in Burwash
Green and Whitegate
[205]
Christopher Horners mother, Edbura
[206]
occupied a tenement belonging to the Archbishops
manor on the North side of Skellgate
[207]
. In his will, dated 1660 Christopher mentions
his eldest son Thomas, younger son Christopher, his married
daughter Esther Buck, and his younger daughters Margaret,
Jane and Frances, who were under age. He also mentions
his nephew John Horner who was an alderman
[208]
. Christopher may be related
to the Ralph Horner who was a vicar of Ripon in 1640
[209]
. Christopher Horners nephews, John and George Horner also became Mayors of Ripon. They were the sons of Christopher’s younger brother John Horner. George Horner was Mayor of Ripon in 1676 [210] .George Horner was married to Ellen Porter, but died two years after his marriage in 1679 [213] . He was aged about forty-eight when he married so this could have been his second marriage. Ellen Porter was the sister of Richard Porter who owned the Unicorn Inn in Ripon [214] . On his death, Ellen inherited the Inn [215] . George owned substantial property at his death and left ‘his messuage, burgage, tenement and cellar in or near the marketplace, which he lately bought off George Wreakes’ to his wife [216] . This property was situated where Ripon Town Hall now stands in Ripon Marketplace [217] . It was originally one Burgage owned in the seventeenth century by Henry Warwick. By the end of the seventeenth century, it was divided into two tenements, at 38 Market place. In 1670, George Horner bought the property from George and Jane Wreaks, when it was known as ‘the Inn at Hollin Hall’. This was a substantial property and had 6 hearths in 1672. The property became Ellen Horner’s jointure on the death of her husband.
On the death of her husband Ellen
was given 17/-.4d. which was owed to her husband by the Ripon Corporation
so that she could pay Alderman Catton for the bellman and beadles
coats in her husband’s mayoralty. However, this does not
mean that Ellen Horner was impoverished. In 1688 Ellen Horner was
owed £11 or eleven years rent for the use of her parlour for the
Corporation Meetings. It is interesting that these meetings took
place at the Inn at Hollins Hall where now stands the Town
Hall. It would not appear that George and Ellen Horner had any children
as on her death her nephew Luke Lathorn became the owner and he
sold it to William Chambers, an apothecary in 1701. George Horner’s brother John was also Mayor of Ripon in 1661-2 and an alderman [218] . He was a member of the Grocers and Mercers Guild, and was buried in 1667 [219] . He married Edborrow Smith in 1651 in Ripon [220] . John Horner, mayor owned the Eastern burgage of 38 Market Place in Ripon where the town Hall now stands, his brother George owning the other side. When he died his widow Edbura held the burgage in 1672 when it was assessed at having 8 hearths and in 1675 [221] . The burgage was inherited by his eldest son and provision was made for four other sons [222] . John’s
son Thomas Horner died in 1689, and in his will mentioned
his sister Elizabeth, his deceased brother Christopher
and nephew John Horner
[223]
. Thomas’s brother John Horner continued
in his fathers trade as a grocer
[224]
. This John Horner was buried in 1681, and his
wife Ann buried in 1720, aged 66
[225]
. He left a posthumous son John Horner. In 1697 Anna
Horner, widow leased a shop, housestead and the chamber over at
40 Market Place Ripon from the Governors of the Ripon Free School
[226]
. The annual rent in 1697 was eight shillings,
to rise to nine shillings in 1770. The entry fines which Anna Horner
must have paid were £2 8s. 6d. She held the
property in 1716 where the shop and the chamber ‘once stood’. This
indicates that these premises may have been where her husband John
Horner plied his trade as a grocer. Thomas Horner’s brother William Horner, eldest son of John and Edborrow Horner, inherited his father’s property. He was also a Grocer of Ripon. He married and had a family of five children, but only one son John survived [227] . This John Horner was also Mayor and alderman of Ripon [228] . In Ripon churchyard there is an inscription to this John Horner, grocer, who was an alderman and twice Mayor of Ripon. John died in 1750 aged seventy [229] . John Horner held number 39 Ripon Marketplace in 1708 with Anna Andrews, widow who may have been related to him [230] . Anna Andrews and John Horner bought the property for £150 pounds in 1708. By 1715, the property had been sold to a Richard Browne [231] . In 1733 and 1746 Alderman John Horner was in possession of 40 Market Place in Ripon, the same property his mother Anna had rented from Ripon Grammar School in the late seventeenth century [232] .
John
Horner's first wife was Katherine Inman, daughter of Robert
Inman
[233]
. On their marriage, Robert’s father in law Christopher
Lowson demised to Robert property in Appletreewick, and Stonebeckup
[234]
. Robert and his wife lived at Harefield Hall
and only one of their sons survived, Christopher Inman
[235]
. Katherine Inman had four sisters who had all
married well within the local yeomanry
[236]
. In 1691, her grandfather Michael Inman left
Katherine a house, gardens and a peat house. This house, North
Pasture House, in Brimham had come into the Inman family from
the Pulleines of North pasture
[237]
. In 1711, John Horner and his brother in-law
Mr. Pyatt had lease of North Pasture House for a yearly rent
of fifteen shillings
[238]
. This land was probably part of Katherine and
her sister Mary’s dowries. With five daughters to marry, Robert
Inman would have been hard pressed to find the necessary funds.
Katherine Horner nee Inman died in 1723 and was buried in Ripon
churchyard
[239]
. A
Charles Inman is described as the brother-in-law of Richard Bayne
of Limley in 1669
[240]
. Charles had married Anne, daughter of William
Bayne of Limley, and lived at Bouthwaite Grange. His descendants
held land there until about 1830
[241]
. Charles’s sister Mary Inman married a Mr. Horner
[242]
. Charles was the eldest surviving son of Robert
Inman, nicknamed Robin the Bold, and grandson of William Inman who
had purchased part of Bourthwaite in 1587
[243]
. They were a yeoman family who greatly enhanced
their lands through the seventeenth century. For instance, Charles
Inman’s younger brother Michael Inman made a fortuitous marriage
with Elizabeth Darnbrook who brought land in Darnbrook to the Inman
family
[244]
. His son Robert Inman
[245]
married Katherine Lowson whose family owned Parcival
Hall in Appletreewick, and through this marriage lands in Burnsall,
and Appletreewick came to the Inman family
[246]
. Not slow to take advantage of an opportunity,
Katherine’s widowed father Christopher Lowson, married Elizabeth
Inman, nee Darnbrook, after the death of her husband Michael in
1691.
The
Inmans were also quick to take advantage of family connections.
In 1701, Robert Inman purchased Thwaites House in Newhouses in Nidderdale
from Mann Dowson
[247]
. Anne Bayne, daughter of Walter Bayne,
sister to William Bayne, had married a Dowson. In 1654, Anne’s
son, Ralph Dowson, had purchased Thwaites House from
his cousin Richard Bayne and Richard’s widowed mother Dorothy
[248]
. Interestingly, a John Horner witnessed
the 1701 transaction. This may be the same John Horner who later
married Robert Inman’s daughter, Katherine
[249]
. John and Katherine Horner had a family
of six children, including three sons, William, Robert and John
[250]
. Their daughter Elizabeth married John Terry
of Kirkby Malzeard in 1745
[251]
. Catherine, wife of John Horner alderman of Ripon
was buried on 27 May 1723 leaving her young family behind
[252]
. John, grocer of Ripon waited a decent interval
before remarrying to find a mother for his young children.
John
Horner then married Ann Watkinson on 26 November
1726 in Guiseley
[253]
. Ann outlived him by three years and died in
1753 aged sixty-six
[254]
. John was a warden of the Company of mercers
in 1727, the same year he became Mayor of Ripon for the first
time. He was also mayor in 1746
[255]
. John Horner made his will on 30 January 1750/1
and was buried in February. He bequeathed his rights in the long
lease at North Pasture House to his eldest son John. This
John Horner of Ripon, gent ordered all his real estate, lands,
and tenements to be sold, and his will was proved by 'John Terry,
the Brother in Law’, on April 25 1763
[256]
. John Terry had married John Horner’s sister
Elizabeth. Alderman John and Katherine's eldest son John married
and had a family of five children including three sons John,
James and Christopher
[258]
. Another line of Aldermen Horners descended from a Gyles Horner. Gyles Horne/r married a Susan Wardroper and had a family of nine children, including six sons Thomas, Miles, John, Henry, George and Matthew [259] . This connection with the Wardraper family may have beenone lasting over sixty years [260] . Gyles’s son Matthew Horner of Low Ellington was married in Ripon in 1654 by the alderman, had a son Thomas who died in his teenage years [261] . His son John married and moved to Sutton Grange where he had a family of three, including one son Christopher [262] . This
Christopher Horner of Sutton Grange married and moved to
Kirby Malzeard where he had a family of eight children, including
two sons, Thomas and John
[263]
. Christopher’s son John Horner of Kirkby
Malzeard had a family of four children including two sons Christopher
and Thomas
[264]
. Thomas married Mary Wells on 17 November 1745
in Ripon
[265]
. Thomas’s eldest son Christopher was christened
in Kirkby Malzeard and then he moved to Ripon where he had a family
of four more including two sons, Sylvester and John
[266]
. Sylvester and had a family of three including
two sons, Thomas and William
[267]
. John had only one son Anthony
[268]
. In
Ripon Cathedral there is a monument to this Thomas Horner esquire,
alderman and twice Mayor of Ripon who died 1st June 1799
aged seventy-six
[269]
. Thomas was a coach maker and was Mayor
of Ripon in 1776 and 1788
[270]
. As a coach maker he may have been interested
in corresponding with John Smeaton, a civil engineer in London
[271]
. Thomas Horner may have inherited lands in
Bishopton from his father as he conveyed to Sir John Ingilby
a messuage and land in Bishopton in 1752
[272]
. Thomas Horner recommended a William Horner for
relief or appointment in 1780 and 1783
[273]
. He was alderman in 1786
[274]
. His support of William Horner may be
the link with America
[275]
. In 1781 William Horner was in correspondence
with William Crosbie of Liverpool, a well-known slaver
[276]
. In the churchyard of Ripon Cathedral there
is a monument inscribed in the memory of Thomas’s son Christopher
Horner who died on 5 November 1770 aged twenty-four and his
wife Mary
[277]
. Christopher
Horner of Sutton may be connected to Francis Horner of Sutton
Grange who had a family of five children in Ripon in the mid
seventeenth century, including three sons, John, Simon and Francis
[278]
. John Horner moved to Dallowgill, in Kirkby
Malzeard parish where he and his wife Jane had a family
of nine children including five sons, Christopher, James, William, John, and Richard
[279]
. John of Dallowgill’s son William had a
family of two children including one son William
[280]
. James Horner was mayor of Ripon
in 1739 and 1754. James died in 1761 and was a clockmaker
[281]
. James Horner married and had a family
of eight children, including two sons who survived childhood, William
and Peter
[282]
. James Horner of Whitehouses
had sufficient income to be registered as a voter in 1741. He then
resided in Ripon. He may also be the same James Horner who was a
voter in Ripon in 1741.

The Hall descended through the female line to Katherine Horner’s grandfather Christopher Lowson. After the death of Katherine Horner’s grandfather Michael Inman, her maternal grandfather Christopher Lowson married her paternal grandmother, Elizabeth Inman nee Demaine. [234] See Speight, Garden, p. 430. [235] Robert Inmans son-in-law Anthony Beckwith fought for parliament. Robert lost £1,000 during the ewars ansd was imprisoned at Ripon for refusing tomfight for the King. P. 448-9 Speight, Garden.

[237] Jane daughter of John Inman and granddaughter of William Inaman of calfall House, married Wlater pulleine of North pasure house. See p. 478-9 Speight, garden. The House is at or near Fellbeck in the detached part of Sawley Township, but the estate was then in the townships of Hartwith [238] This was an estate measured at 109 acres, 2 rods and 13 perches in 1774. [239] Ripon Memorials. [240] Charles Inman witnessed the sale of land in Newhouses by Richard Bayne to Henry Sharray and Miles Benson. See Lucas p. 442. [241] Speight. [242] The second daughter named Mary is probably noticed in the Will (d. or p. a. 1660) of Christopher Rayner as Mary Horner. See Speight. [243] William Inman’s will was dated 1614. William occupied half the moiete in 1614, but his son John Inman bought both moieties in 1617. This John Inman was a royalist and compounded in 1649. John died in 1665. His daughter Jane married Wilfred Pulleine of North Pasture House in Brimham. Wilfred died in 1621 and Jane then later married William Marshall who died in 1653. Jane Inman died in 1670. Speight Garden p. 478-9. William Inman of 1614 also had a son Robert, whose had a daughter Grace who married Anthony Beckwith. Their son John Beckwith married Mary Fairfax, daughter of Charles Fairfax and niece to Ferdinando Fairfax, parliamentarian general in the English Civil wars. Charles Inman was born about 1624 in Southwaite, Fellbeck. IGI. Robert also had a son named Robert, christened in Pateley Bridge on 2 September 1628, Pateley Bridge. IGI. [244] Michael Inman was christened on 5 October 1630 in Pateley bridge. He died in 1691.For the following see Speight. [245] Of North Pasture House or FeIlbeck (either or both), Harefield, and Bewerley, gentleman, and Son of Michael Inman, aforesaid. Bapt. Oct. 3, a. 1658, in the old Church at P B., marr. Aug. 11, 1678, at Burnsall, died Dec. 26, and was buried, Dec. 28, a. 1721, on the North side of the old Churchyard at P. B. Will dated Dec. 1, a. 1721, and proved Jan. 2, a. 1722/3, in the Exch. Ct.. of York; Bond (£500) dated Oct. 2, a.1722. It is probable that Robert Inman was born at Fellbeck or at North Pasture House, and that, before completing his twentieth year, he wedded a bride of not yet seventeen; for a few years after his marriage, he appears to have resided at or near Fellbeck. But, about six years after that event, he is described (a. 1684) as of Harefield, and occurs as the purchaser of an estate, wholly or partly, in Fellbeck; the Will of his father, however, seems to shew that he had been permitted to settle in a house in the township of Bewerley in or before a. 1690, and be occurs as of Bewerley, gent., in a. 1692. In a. 1717, 1719, he is again described as of Harefield, so that it is likely that he left the township of Bewerley about the time of the marriage, a. 1715, of Christopher, his son and heir apparent, who occurs as of Bewerley, a. 1716 and onwards. For a period of his life, Robert Inman should have been a prosperous man; in a.1678, he married the daughter of the wealthy Christopher Lowson (who apparently left no sons), and, shortly afterwards, an estate (formerly Darnbrooke) at Bewerley was inherited. It is probable that, before or after his marriage, property at More Ing and Collo was settled by Michael Inman, and in Stonebeck (Up and ? Down) by Christopher Lowson.; see Wakef. Reg., L 171, 513, O. 23, a. 1716/7, 1717, 1719. The deaths (a. 1690/1, 1695, 1695) of his father, father-in-law, and mother should have left him opulent; that he made some display (livery, etc.) seems probable (from his Will). But he had five married daughters, and the estate was considerably reduced by their portions; the consequence almost certainly was that Christopher, his son, was in a position interior to what his father had held. The policy of Robert Inman seems to have been to dispose of outlying property, as at Stonebeck (Up and ? Down), North Pasture House, and Fellbeck; see under the latter heading for the portions of four of his daughters. He may have been the Robt. Hinman, gentleman, mentioned by Paver as a Land Tax Commissioner for Yorkshire; he erected a seat in the old Church at Pateley Bridge. [246] This Robert Inman was christened on 3 October 1658 in Pateley Bridge and Fellbeck. IGI and Speight. Robrt married Katherine lowson on 11 August 1678 in Burnsall. Katherine’s father Christopher lowson was christened on 28 Decemeber 1634 and married as his first wife Elizabeth demaine, heiress of parcival Hall. Robrt Inaman and Katherine Lowson had four sons and ten daughters, but only one son Christopher and five daughters survived to adulthood. Christopher Inamn ( 1693-1737) married Abigail Whalley, daughter of Thomas Whalley of Winterburn. He had two sons, Michael Inaman ( 1716-1784) who moved to Hull. Christopher’s youngest son Charles (1725-1767) married Susanna casson, daughter of John Casson of lancaster gent. And moved to Lancaster. Their son Robert Inaman was christened in Kirkham , Lancashire on 12 july 1756, and died in 1823. Although the Inmas had moved to Lanxcaster they still retained their lands in Appletreewick and craven. See Speight. [247] The indenture was dated 23 september 1701 [248] See Lucas p. 430. The indenture was dated 25 may 1654 and Christopher Horner and John Horner were witnesses to the exchange of land. Ralph was described as ‘of Low Lofthouse’ in Nidderdale, but by 1701 Ralph’s son Mann Dowson had moved to Laizenby near Northallerton, and sold Thwaites House to Robert Inman
[249]
This
John Horner became a Mayor of Ripon. Daughter of Christopher
Lowson, of 'Parcival’ Hall (Appletreewick), Gouthwaite (Stonebeck
Down), Woodhouse (Appletreewick), and Bewerley, gentleman,
by Elizabeth, daughter of 'Mr. George Demayne’, of' Parcivall'
Hall. Bapt. July 13, a. 1662, at BurnsaIl, married
there Aug. 11, a. 1678, and was buried, July 2, (a. 1723,
in the old Church at Pateley Bridge, 'under the Seat in the
South Isle’, ‘being the Front of the Family Loft.
Christopher Lowson is described as of 'Goughwitt' in the notice
of his marriage (a. 1660/1); this may point to Gouthwaite
Hall [Stonebeck Down], which is named in the Inventory of
his goods. The (Inman) Family Mem. Book places his birth on
Dec.28, a. 1634, and he may have been baptised at Middlesmoor;
he was apparently of kin to the Lowsons of Bishop Monkton,
see the Curation (a. 1676 or 1677) of Will. Lowson to said
Christopher, described as of Parcivall Hall.
This last named place seems to represent the 'Persevells ferme’
given by Peter Yorke (Will proved a. 1589) to his son Thomas
for life; administration of the goods, which were beyond £10,
of said Thos., described as of Percival Hall, was granted
(under a. 1620) to his son, John Yorke of Gouthwaite. This
last named John, a. 1637/8, left 'Parsivells farme', ?) or
his right in it, to the then tenant, George Demaine (who is
described as of Parcivall Hall' in a. 1646/7, and his heirs
for ever, subject to a payment of £300; Christopher Lowson
married the daughter of said George, and the latter's descendants,
etc., seem to have sold it (Feet of Fines, a. 1695/6).
As Christopher Lowson had disposed or some of his lands before
his death, his Will is perhaps not so enlightening as it otherwise
might have been; he had establishments at Bewerley, Percival
Hall, 'Steane', and Woodhouse, and a lease of the Wood End
farm in Barden. His death and Will date a. 1695, and his purse
and apparel were then valued at £500; this amount, perhaps,
a clerical error for £50. He married, a. 1693, Elizabeth Inman,
widow, the mother of his daughters husband, and they lived
in the township of Bewerley; possibly, to use the words of
her great-grandson, Michael Inman (on another matter), this
match 'had lucritave ends'. Christopher Lowson, (?) in trust
for Sir Stephen Tempest, knt., took a mortgage of land, in
Broughton, of Thos. Tempest, gent., and of Jane, his wife,
a. 1667; he surrendered the premises in a. 1685/6 (Tempest
MSS.).
