(145) Anne of Frickley Hall and Burghwallis Hall

Anne family of Frickley
and Burghwallis

The Anne family were prominent in the Doncaster area from at least the early 14th century, when Sir William de Anne was Constable of Tickhill Castle, and they are first recorded as lords of Frickley in 1379. The estate evidently passed from father to son through several generations, but a convincing continuous descent can only be traced from John Anne (d. 1520). Such information as is known about the earlier generations is summarised in Burke's Landed Gentry.

At the Reformation, the Anne family retained their Catholic faith and in the late 16th and 17th centuries they were amongst the most ardent Recusants in Yorkshire, consistently intermarrying with other Catholic families and fairly openly adhering to the Catholic faith and harbouring Catholic priests. Martin Anne (d. 1589) seems to have been reasonably discreet about his adherence to the old religion, but his younger brother William may have been the Catholic priest known as Fr. John Amyas who was martyred at York in 1588/89, and his nephew Fr. William Anlaby certainly suffered the same fate in 1597; both men have been beatified by the Roman Catholic church. Martin's son, George Anne (d. 1620) was known to the authorities as a Recusant and his estate was seized in 1591 and had to be redeemed by a rental payment. Through his marriage he acquired the Burghwallis estate in addition to Frickley, although the latter remained the family's principal seat until it was sold in 1750. Despite the acquisition of Burghwallis, he fell into arrears with his redemption payments and in 1604 he was obliged to sell the manor of Roall near Goole to clear his debts. He and his son, Philip Anne (1591-1647), who also compounded for his recusancy, continued to accumulate debts, and Philip owed £2,400 at his death.

After the Restoration of the Monarchy in 1660 the financial penalties facing Recusant families were less severe, and under King James II Michael Anne (1626-1709) was briefly a JP for the West Riding.  He was also able to arrange a good marriage for his son and heir, Michael Anne (1653-1717) with Jane, the daughter of Lord Langdale. The younger Michael's son, Marmaduke Anne, died aged about 30 in 1722, and left a young family. Two of his three daughters became nuns on the Continent, and he left Frickley to his elder son and Burghwallis to the younger. Michael Anne (fl. 1750), who inherited Frickley, sold it in 1750, and thereafter Burghwallis became the principal family seat. It was extensively remodelled for George Anne (1775-1802), presumably after he came of age in 1796, but the identity of the architect involved is not known. When George died unexpectedly of scarlet fever in 1802, leaving no son, the estate passed to his younger brother, Michael Anne (1777-1853), who continued to improve the estate. In 1810 he married Maria (1792-1844), the daughter of George Crathorne, and under the complicated provisions of her mother's first husband's will, inherited the Bodney estate in Norfolk on condition that he took the name of Tasburgh.

Michael Tasburgh, as he became, undertook a further remodelling of Burghwallis Hall in the 1820s, and took his family to live on the continent while the works were in progress. He seems to have enjoyed life in Paris where there were many Catholic ex-patriot families and he was able to mix in the best society, and in the end the family stayed there almost continuously until 1828. In 1833 his wife inherited the Crathorne estate under trusts which secured her control of the property, and her husband's attempts to persuade her to settle it upon their son seems to have led in 1835 to a permanent breach between husband and wife: at her death, Maria left the estate between her surviving daughters.  We know a lot about Michael and his family because his youngest daughter Barbara's memoir of her life was published in 1950.  Michael does not emerge as a sympathetic character from its pages: selfish in his own pleasures, he denied his children toys; found lodgings in Paris in damp and gloomy houses which made his wife ill; and appears to have tried to use undue influence on her in the matter of the disposition of the Crathorne estate.  His son George (1813-82), who resumed the surname Anne, seems to have been made of rather similar cloth, and perhaps fortunately never married. When he died in Italy in 1882, the male line of the Annes expired, and Burghwallis passed to his nephew, Ernest Lambert Swinburne Charlton (1852-1939), who took the surname Anne in 1883. Ernest was in effect the last of the Annes of Burghwallis; when he died the estate passed to his son, George Charlton Anne (1886-1960), who put the estate up for sale in lots in 1942 and sold the Hall itself to the Sisters of Charity in 1946 for use as a retirement home for elderly ladies, a role it has fulfilled under several different Catholic owners down to 2014.

Frickley Hall, Yorkshire (West Riding)

The medieval and Tudor house of the Anne family occupied a moated site at Park Farm, and building work was in progress there in 1572. The house is said to have been destroyed by fire in about 1760, shortly after the Anne family sold it. The moat was altered as part of landscaping works in the early 19th century, when a chain of fishponds was merged with the moat around the house platform.

The present Hall was built on a new site in the park, probably soon after 1760, for Anthony Wharton of Carhouse (c.1728-73), who bought the estate from the Annes. It was given its present appearance by Richard Kennet Dawson (1793-1850) in about 1820. It has a five bay entrance front facing north, with a pedimented Doric porch, and a seven-bay east front with a three-bay pediment enclosing an oval window. The windows are without architraves, although bays two and six on the ground floor have consoled cornices. The rear service wing shows clear evidence of the remodelling of an earlier range in a different stone. Inside, the inner hall has a cantilevered stone staircase with fluted square balusters and a rectangular lantern with a coffered central panel. A first floor room has an interesting Arts & Crafts fireplace with a beaten copper surround and motto ‘East West Hame’s Best’, and contemporary wall cupboards and shelving. For an account of its later Warde-Aldam owners, see my post on that family.

Burghwallis Hall, Yorkshire (West Riding)

The original hall appears to have stood on a moated site in the park of the later house, but it was probably abandoned in the early 16th century when a new Tudor manor house was built on the present site. The existing house preserves evidence of this Tudor house of the Gascoignes in the roof timbers of the central and earliest part of the building, a chimneystack on the east front, and some remains of a priest-hole which was only rediscovered in the early 20th century.

After the Anne family sold their ancestral estate at Frickley in 1750, Burghwallis became their principal seat, and this is no doubt why it was partially rebuilt for George Anne (d. 1802) in about 1797. He built a new two-storey stuccoed front range of five bays with a pediment over the central three bays, and in doing so pulled down part of the old house including the Catholic chapel which the family had maintained in the attics. To replace this he also built a new red brick chapel amongst the outbuildings of the house.

The remodelling of the house was probably always intended to be the first phase of a campaign of works to modernise the estate, which was continued by George's brother and successor, Michael Anne (later Tasburgh). About 1809 he realigned the road through the village to create a more parklike setting for the house; demolished many of the old cottages near the church and built new ones west of the house; and in 1813 he improved the estate by enclosing the commons.  In 1820 he returned his attention to the house and 'rudely medievalized' the new block built by his brother to give it a more fashionably Tudor appearance and unify it with the older gabled ranges behind; he removed the pediment, added an extra storey and five gables, and stripped off the stucco. In Victorian times, a new porch was built on the entrance front.

The house was sold by the Anne family to a Catholic order of nuns in the 1940s for use as a care home for elderly ladies, and additions were made to the north end of the house for this purpose. In 2014 the present owners, the Catholic diocese of Hallam, announced that this would close, and the future of the house is uncertain.
