The Haggerstons, now at Ellingham but formerly of Haggerston, can trace their lineage back to Sir Hugh de Hagardeston, who was living in 1290. A landed family of some social distinction in Northumberland, they persevered throughout the times of persecution, not infrequently at great cost, and afforded others on their estates the occasion to observe their religious practices. That the Catholic faith did not disappear in this remote and sparsely populated county was, indeed, largely due to families such as theirs: Derwentwaters, Swinburnes, Selbys, Widdringtons, Charltons, Thorntons, Claverings, and later Silvertops. Neither Newcastle nor Berwick nor Alnwick nor Morpeth could boast of a thriving recusant community; the strength of Catholicism was in the country areas, on and around the estates of these families.
I am indebted to Dr Ann M. C. Forster and the Rev. W. Vincent Smith, who read this article in draft and contributed many valuable suggestions.
