RAWLINSON, OF GREENHEAD, IN COLTON.
« ... Curwen Rawlinson, esq. son and heir, married Elizabeth Monk, second daughter and coheir of Nicholas Monk, lord bishop of Hereford, and Brother to George Monk, duke of Albemarle, son of Sir Thomas Monk, of Potheredge, in Devonshire, only son of Anthony Monk, of the same place, son of Thomas Monk, esq. by Frances Plantagenet, daughter and coheir of Arthur Plantagenet, viscount Lisle, son of king Edward IV. by whom he had issue Christopher Rawlinson, his heir, and Monk Rawlinson, who died 1692, aged twenty one. † [† Sandford's Geneal.]
Curwen Rawlinson was living November 29, 1688, but died soon after, in 1689, and was buried in the chancel of St. Mary's church, at Warwick, aged forty eight. He succeeded his father in the love and service of his country. He was burgess for Lancaster in the parliament convened Jan. 22, 1688. Elizabeth, his wife, died September 27, 1692, aged forty-three, and was buried in Cartmel church. They were succeeded by Christopher Rawlinson, their only child and heir, born 1677. He studied at Queen's College, Oxford, was a learned man, and particularly fond of the Saxon language : he published a version of Boetius de Consolatione Philosophies, in the Saxon tongue, and made a foundation for the support of a lesson in the said language for ever. He erected a mural monument of white marble, in Cartmel church, to the memory of his grandfather, father, and mother, A. D. 1706. He (next page 320) died without issue, and is said to be the last of the male line of the Plantagenets by the mother's side. .... »

« CARK HALL (fn. 51) was in 1582 owned by Thomas Pickering. (fn. 52) His daughter Anne in 1603 married Robert Curwen of Mireside Hall, (fn. 53) to whom the house was sold in 1615. (fn. 54) Robert died in 1650, bequeathing it to his nephew Robert Rawlinson of Greenhead in Colton, (fn. 55) who recorded a pedigree in 1665, his eldest son Curwen being then twenty-three years of age. (fn. 56) Robert died the same year, (fn. 57) and his son Curwen, while serving in the Convention Parliament as member for Lancaster, (fn. 58) died in 1689, (fn. 59) being succeeded at Cark by his son Monk, who died in 1695, and he by his brother Christopher, who died in 1733 unmarried.

51. Karke, 1451.
52. This account of Cark is derived from the Annals of Cartmel (433–69), Mr. Stockdale having examined the deeds, some of which he prints. Agnes wife of Thomas Pickering of Nether Cark was buried 24 Sept. 1616 and Thomas himself on 27 Jan. following; Reg.
53. 20 Jan. 1602–3; ibid. / 54. Stockdale, op. cit. 433; indenture printed. A rent of 10s. 8d. was due to the king. A messuage at Girsgarth (or Grassgarth) in Cartmel was added.
55. Ibid.435; the will (24 Jan. 1649–50) is printed. It has seals bearing the arms of Curwen and Pickering quarterly. The testator left £5 to be given to the poor 'in Walton township where I dwell,' and £10 to the school at Cartmel. He had nephews Hutton and Mohun (or Moon). Anne Curwen his widow died in 1657.
56. Dugdale, Visit. 241; this states that his father William married Margaret daughter of Walter Curwen of Moorside. The memorial inscription in Cartmel Church, composed long afterwards, states that he was 'a great sufferer for his loyalty to King Charles the 1st,' but his name does not appear in the list of those compounding under the Commonwealth. He did not succeed to Cark till after the execution of the king.
57. Stockdale, op. cit. 442; will (18 Oct. 1665) printed. He had lands at Mireside, Cark, Grassgarth and Birkby; Barbon Fields, Flookburgh, Preston Meadow; Crosby Ravensworth, Furness Fells, Hampsfield and Preston Grassgarth; and woods at Stribus. Robert Rawlinson, though then dead, is named as tenant of Cark and Mireside in 1670, when the rent for Cark and Walton was stated as £2 15s. 5d. a year, and 8s. 7d. was due for knowing silver; Pat. 22 Chas. II.
58. Pink and Beaven, op. cit. 121; he was a Whig.
59. Stockdale, op. cit. 447; will printed. His widow Elizabeth, daughter of Nicholas Monk, Bishop of Hereford, died at Cark in 1691; ibid. 454.
60. He has been noticed above among the worthies of the parish. He erected the Rawlinson monument in Cartmel Church; it bears a long genealogical inscription. He left no will and his heirs were five cousins, daughters of his two aunts— Anne Rawlinson, who married Christopher Crackenthorpe and left daughters Anne and Deborah (unmarried); and Katherine, who married Roger Moore and had three daughters, Anne, Mary and Katherine, of whom only the last had issue. For their moiety see the next note. The other moiety went through Anne Crackenthorpe (who married Adam Askew) to her son Anthony, d. 1774 -s. Henry, d. 1852 -s. Henry William Askew, formerly of Conishead Priory. »

p. 433: « This large old hall stands by the side of the road which leads from the village of Carke to Churchtown in Cartmel, and has, during a period of three hundred years, descended in the same family through nine generations. ...
pp. 446-447: « Robert was succeeded by his eldest son Curwen Rawlinson, of Carke Hall, who was born on the 3rd of June, 1641. A draft copy of articles of marriage remains, dated 1669, when he must have been aged twenty-eight, between him and Margaret, daughter of Thomas Gabetis of Crosby Ravensworth, in the county of Westmorland, Esquire. This marriage, for reasons not known, did not take place, and he subsequently married, on the 13th of June, 1677, Elizabeth, one of the two daughters of Nicholas Monk, Bishop of Hereford, brother to general Monk, Duke of Albemarle.
Curwen Rawlinson resided at Carke Hall, and probably enlarged the house by the addition of the part which is now occupied by the tenant of South Carke Hall Farm, for a stone escutcheon with the arms of Rawlinson and Monk impaled, being the arms of Curwen Rawlinson and his wife, stood in this part over a walled-up doorway, probably the then principal entrance, and was removed by the late Gray Rigge to Wood-Broughton, and placed over the entrance there.
Curwen Rawlinson died at Warrick the 29th August, 1689, aged 48, being at the time M.P. for Lancaster. His will, copied from the probate, Canterbury (in Mr. Rigge's possession), is dated 26th August, 1689. ...
p. 454: « Elizabeth Monk, the widow of Curwen Rawlinson, died at Carke Hall on the 27th September, 1691, aged forty-three, and is buried in the south transept of Cartmel Church. Her will is dated the 23rd of September previous, as follows:—
