Notities over James RADCLIFFE

At the beginning of the eighteenth century Dilston was the ancestral seat of James Radcliffe, 3rd Earl of Derwentwater, a cousin of Prince James Francis Edward Stuart, the son of the exiled James ll. In 1715, when the Jacobites (the supporters of ‘King James III’) rose up in rebellion against the Hanoverian regime of George l, the Earl of Derwentwater, through his kinship to the Prince, took on a leading role. The subsequent defeat of the Jacobites by Government forces led to the Earl’s execution on Tower Hill, London, on 24 February 1716, at the age of twenty-six. His remains were embalmed and secretly brought back to Northumberland for burial in Dilston Chapel. A phenomenal display of the Northern Lights, which occurred as his coffin reached the outskirts of Durham City, was superstitiously regarded as an omen of heaven’s wrath at his untimely death. The Earl subsequently became a legendary figure in Northumberland, his fate inspiring ballads, novels, biographies and endless traditional tales.Thirty years later the Earl’s brother Charles Radcliffe was to share the same fate when the Jacobites once again took up arms in the Stuart cause. Captured at sea on his way to join the forces fighting for Bonnie Prince Charlie, Charles Radcliffe was subsequently beheaded on Tower Hill on 8 December 1746 and buried in St-Giles-in-the-Fields. Tradition claims that his heart was carried to Dilston and placed in a lead box beside the coffin of his brother James.
