HUDDLESTONE OF HUTTON-JOHN.
[Illustration] An ancient Northern family, said to be of Saxon
descent, originally of Huddleston in Yorkshire, and afterwards of
Millom Castle in this county, from an heiress of that name, where
the elder line flourished till its extinction in 1745. Andrew, a
younger son of John Huddleston of Millom, who lived in the reign of
Henry VIII., married the heiress of Hutton of Hutton-John, and was
the ancestor of the present family.
A younger branch of the Huddlestons were fixed in the county of
Cambridge by a match with the illustrious House of Neville. Sir
William Huddleston having married Isabel, fifth daughter of John,
Marquess of Montecute, became possessed, on the partition of the
Neville estates in 1496, of the manor of Sawston, still the
inheritance of this line of the family.
For Sir John Huddleston, so much trusted by Queen Mary, see Fuller's
Worthies, 1st ed. p. 168.
John Huddleston, the priest instrumental in saving the life of
Charles II, and the same who attended him on his deathbed, was
second son of Andrew Huddleston, of Hutton-John. This family
afterwards became Protestants, and were active promoters of the
Revolution.
