The Manor of Bubwith cum Harlthorpe

It was in the 12th century that the manors of Bubwith and Harlthorpe became merged, when one of William Tison's daughters, whose forename is not known, married Robert Constable I of Flamborough, and it is through this marriage that the manors of Bubwith, Harlthorpe, and Holme on Spaldingmoor, among others, came to the Constable family of Flamborough.

The manors of Bubwith cum Harlthorpe and Holme-on-Spalding-Moor were for many generations in the possession of the Constables of Flamborough. They were purchased in 1633 by Sir Marmaduke (1st Baron 1657/8) Langdale from Sir William Constable, Bart. With the death of the 5th Lord Langdale in 1777,  the Bubwith cum Harlthorpe and Holme manors passed to his daughter Mary, the wife of Charles Philip, 16th Baron Stourton, and then continued with the Stourton family throughout the 19th century.

Only a few rentals survive, but fortunately there is a large volume of presentments and pains as part of the Holme Hall Papers, in the British Library, Manuscripts Department, under reference Add. Ms. 40137.
