Description:Excerpt from From the Old South-Sea House: Being Thomas Rumney's Letter Book 1796-1798 The Rumney family of "statesman" - that is yeoman-status has been established in the parish of Watermillock, on the Cumbrian shore of Ulleswater, certainly from the time of the earliest registers of that parish (1590), and probably for generations before. James Clarke, in his "Survey of the Lakes" (1787), stated that he was in possession of an admittance of an Anthony Rumney to two customary freehold tenements at Gowbarrow Hall and Old Church, dated 1474. The family continued to hold this property until the seventeenth century, when they lost it in a curious lawsuit with the Lord of the Manor, and migrated to the smaller property of Mellfell, in or about the year 1678. As Gowbarrow was the chief tenement in the Barony, part of the Manor of Greystoke, the Rumneys often acted as bailiffs of the Barony, and in the parish registers for 1619 we find the record of the burial of "Mr. Oswolde Rumny lait bailif of the tp of Wethermealock who lived 95 yeares in great honestie true dealing with all men and in love with his neighboores."
