Description'This and [D] 115 The Herd, [No. 118 here] were done in an old chase in which is a hunting lodge which belongs to the Duke of Northumberland, and which before the reform bill returned five members to Parliament. It is one of the finest of our old English parks.'
Haden was mistaken about the ownership of the estate and hunting lodge. The Duke of Northumberland sold the estate to Mr. Alex Henry Campbell on September 30, 1864.
