During the English Civil Wars the Duke of Newcastle had fought on the king’s side, and his properties were sequestrated. His widow, the redoubtable Margaret, Duchess of Newcastle tried for many years to recover them, but eventually she lost her battle. The Heathcote family were adjudged to have bought their Buxton estate entirely legally, albeit from the Parliamentarians who had confiscated them."
