In Ripon Liberty only one [Catholic] gentry family survived this period [the eighteenth century] (the Trappes of Nidd) and in their case the main line died out and a cadet branch from Carlton succeeded them’; this fact of mere survival both justifies and permits setting this account before the reader. Christopher Trappes (XIa), the founder of the Carlton branch, would probably have remained single, if he had not found an heiress with just sufficient income for marriage; had he remained single, the Trappes family would have died out in 1761, and this history would have remained unwritten. As it is, there survives just enough material to show something of how one recusant family contrived to retain its identity through and after the penal times.

Sir John A (4th Bart) had devised the Estate to his brother George A (5th Bart) with remainder directly to his cousin Samuel A, who became the first Baronet of the new and still existing creation.
