"Apparently Sir Thomas Swinburne's estates had in 1639 been passed over to John Swinburne of Black Heddon, eldest son of his sister Margaret, wife of William Swinburn of Capheaton, to whom they were limited in the settlements made in 1606 and 1617. This John Swinburne was murdered at Meltdon, and died in 15 February 1642.3 and his estates were subsequently sequestered either for his delinquency or that of his father William Swinburme. According to a return made about 1650, Edlingham castle demesne was at that time let to Thomas So(u)thern at ú36 per annum, Edlingham north demesne and Newtown to George Grieve at ú60 per annum, Edlingham south demesne to George Craister at ú8 per annum and Edlingham common and close to John Ramsey at ú9 per annum"
