It is not generally known that a branch of the family of the late Mr Sutton, of Scotby, formerly resided in Kendal. But such was the case. The tan yard now occupied by the executors of the late Mr Thomas Atkinson, adjoining the Friend's Meeting House, was, prior to 1816, the property of Wilson Sutton. He resided on the premises and carried on an extensive business as a tanner. He died at York in 1816 and, leaving no family, the tanyard went into other hands. The father of the Mr Sutton recently deceased was brother or nephew to Wilson Sutton. The yard leading from Stramongate to that tan yard is still known as "Sutton's" yard. |

Thos Sutton a young Man about 23 Years old, having for some
time past evinced that he was not of sane Understanding, from his very
excentrick Ideas, and an obstinate, pertinacious disposition, has of
late become so ungovernable and violent, that I think it will be
concluded to place him in the Retreat, where he will have such good Care
exercised over him, and the proper measures adopted to effect his
Restoration — He is the Son of the late Thos Sutton of Scotby
near Carlisle, whose Mother is Daughter of the late James Wilson, Tanner
of this place_ He was an apprentice to Anthy Clapham Druggist
in Newcastle, but from his unpleasant disposition, and want of Attention
or great Absence of Mind, did not give Satisfaction, and by mutual
agreement left the Situation before he had completed the Time — Since
which, excepting for another Trial in the same Business of a few months,
he has been with his Father in Law & Mother at Scotby, as no other
suitable place, or other suitable Occupation has been met with for him.
And so far as we can judge on every Account this excellent Institution
with the most Perhaps there is no Alteration since the last Report, but it is desirable know, and therefore I shall be obliged by thy Information whether there is some Room for Admission, what are the Terms & Mode of Payment, and what are the Requisites previous to his being sent, or in sending him—Thou wilt see by this, I wish for such Information as thou wilt judge necessary preparatory to his Coming, and not merely a Reply to my Enquiry on the Heads above mentioned, which when received I shall communicate to the Family, that a Conclusion may be come to. [Final paragraph of no relevance here] As soon as convenient ^I shall be obliged by they Reply and am Thy affectionate Friend Geo: Braithwaite Kendal 12th month 3d 1805. |
