1 U DDJ Papers of the Dunnington-Jefferson Family of Thicket Priory and Thorganby Historical Background: The Dunnington family were landowners in the East Riding from at least the seventeenth century - in 1685 Thomas Dunnington (d.1710) bought low-lying land at Thorganby and West Cottingwith, about eight miles south east of York close to the banks of the River Derwent. Much of this land had been in the Saltmarshe family for generations, before changing ownership several times. Through the early eighteenth century the Dunnington family expanded their holdings, eventually becoming the major landholders in Thorganby and West Cottingwith until the twentieth century. Thomas Dunnington's son, also Thomas Dunnington (alive in the 1730s), bought land also at Bubwith (Ward, East Yorkshire landed estates, p.43; Allison, History of Yorkshire East Riding, iii, pp.112, 114; Saltmarshe, 'Notes on Thorganby', pp.31-4; DDJ/3/5). Thomas Dunnington had at least three children - John Dunnington, who married Dorothy Tomlinson in 1759; William Dunnington; and Ellen or Eleanor Dunnington, who married Emanuel Jefferson from a landowning family of Hook and Howden. In 1760 Emanuel Jefferson bought the manor of West Cottingwith, so extending his landholding in the area of his wife's family. After Emanuel Jefferson's death in 1770, his son, Robert Jefferson, expanded the West Cottingwith estate slightly and involved himself more than his father had in the district, establishing charities to educate the children of his tenants and distributing coal amongst the poor in the winter. His cousin, Thomas Dunnington, was the schoolmaster and curate and by the late eighteenth century Thomas's older brother, John Dunnington junior (b.1759), had rebuilt the schoolhouse and more than half the children of the district were educated without expense to their parents. When Robert Jefferson died in 1811 the manor of West Cottingwith along with Jefferson family land in Hook and Howden passed to John Dunnington junior who added the surname Jefferson to Dunnington from that time (Ward, East Yorkshire landed estates, p.43; Allison, History of Yorkshire East Riding, iii, pp.115, 120). John Dunnington junior thus became a considerable landowner; tithes he held in 1801 were worth over 100 per annum and after his inheritance, he bought more land and in 1822 built Thorganby Hall. He also benefitted from several allotments at enclosure. He died in His land and assets were inherited by his nephew, Joseph Dunnington (b.1807) son of Joseph Dunnington ( ) and his wife Mary Toutill. Joseph Dunnington junior also adopted the double surname of Dunnington-Jefferson, from 1841 (Ward, East Yorkshire landed estates, p.43; Allison, History of Yorkshire East Riding, iii, pp.115, 120). Joseph Dunnington-Jefferson went to St John's in Cambridge in 1825 and became vicar of Thorganby in He was a wealthy man. The living he succeeded to was worth about 50 per annum but in two increases in the 1860s this went up by 200%. He became prebend of York in 1852 and employed an assistant curate for Thorganby where the Church of England communion was unusually active. Soon after his uncle's death the Reverend Dunnington- Jefferson moved from the vicarage, which was sold as a private house, and he built, between , Thicket Priory, a large pseudo-elizabethan red brick mansion. In 1862 he built another pseudo-elizabethan house, at Sober Hill, Newbald, after buying 710 acres of land there in By 1873, from Thicket Priory and its 150 acre park, he controlled 7278 acres with a combined rental of nearly 11,000 and in addition he held over 500 acres in the West Riding which drew in over In 1839 he had married Anna Mervynia Vavasour, daughter of the 2nd baronet. During his life he published a volume of his sermons. He died in 1880 page 1 of 137

Joseph and Anna Mervynia Dunnington-Jefferson had three sons. The eldest, Joseph John Dunnington-Jefferson ( ), was educated at Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge. He became a barrister and justice of the peace and major of the Yorkshire Hussars. His younger brother was Captain Mervyn Dunnington Jefferson of Middlethorpe Hall. His youngest brother was Thomas Trafford Dunnington-Jefferson (b.1852), who was also a barrister of the Inner Temple, but he died prematurely in Joseph John Dunnington- Jefferson died without issue and he was succeeded to his estates by his nephew, John Alexander Dunnington Jefferson (b.1884), son of Mervyn Dunnington Jefferson. John Alexander Dunnington-Jefferson was educated at Eton and Sandhurst before joining the Royal Fusiliers in He served in the army during the First World War and then retired in 1919 with the rank of lieutenant-colonel. In 1921 he became a Justice of the Peace for the East Riding and in 1936 served as Deputy Lieutenant. In 1938 he married Isobel Cape and they had one son, Mervyn Stewart Dunnington Jefferson, who was born in John Alexander Dunnington-Jefferson was knighted in 1944 and was created baronet in In 1955 he sold Thicket Priory to Carmelite nuns, so returning the land to its original use as the site of a women's religious order. He moved to Thorganby Hall but then sold all land holdings in Thorganby and West Cottingwith in 1964 (Allison, History of Yorkshire East Riding, iii, pp ; Alumni Cantabrigienses, ii, p.557; Who was who, vii, p.234).
