English: Hatchment, Church of St John the Baptist, Ditton Priors, Shropshire. Hatchment with sinister/wife's half black, for funeral of Harriet Baugh (d.1854) (Viscountess Boyne), wife of Gustavus Hamilton, 6th Viscount Boyne (1777–1855), of Burwarton House. (See also similar hatchment in same church to her husband, with full black background). He was the son of Gustavus Hamilton, 5th Viscount Boyne and Martha Matilda Somerville, second child (but only child from his second marriage) of Sir Quaile Somerville, 2nd Baronet, by his second wife Sarah Towers, daughter of Thomas Towers. He married Harriet Baugh (d.1854), daughter and heiress of of Benjamin Baugh of Burwarton and Ditton, etc, on 4 August 1796. He died on 30 March 1855 at age 77 at Belgrave Square, London.
(From: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1001116): The Hollands first acquired land in Burwarton in the later C15, and over the next 300 years added to this holding by purchase, exchange and marriage. In the early C17 Alice, the Holland heiress, married Henry Baugh, who held extensive estates in his own right, and in the late C18 Harriet, daughter and heiress of Benjamin Baugh, married Gustavus, sixth Viscount Boyne. Throughout the C19 the Boyne estate was further enlarged, and around Burwarton a compact holding was built up which enabled the construction of a new house in a landscape park. Some 8500 acres (c 3500ha) of the estate were sold in 1919, reducing it to a core comprising the three parishes of Burwarton, Cleobury North and Aston Botterell, and including all the eastern slopes of Brown Clee Hill. The Burwarton Estate, still one of the county's largest, remains (1999) in private hands. The manor of Ashfield, in the parish of Ditton, passed to the sisters of Bernard Holland, of Burwarton, namely Elizabeth Holland (d. 1822), wife of Benjamin Baugh (d. 1809) of Ludlow, and Margaret Holland (d. unm. 1808). Elizabeth's daughter Harriet Baugh (d. 1854), married Gustavus Hamilton, 6th Viscount Boyne (1777–1855), and owned Ashfield in 1851. In 1858 G. F. Hamilton-Russell, Viscount Boyne purchased OAKWOOD, a 56-acre farm in the parish of Ditton, from William Millward, and it remained part of the Burwarton estate. In the 1880s G. R. Hamilton-Russell, Viscount Boyne purchased about 1,800 acres of the manor of Ditton from P. J. C. Howard. In 1919 and 1922 Hamilton-Russell offered much of his Burwarton estate for sale, including 721 a. in Ditton in 1919. Farms including Church farm (1919) and Derrington East (1922) were bought by their tenants, (fn. 314) while in 1919 the county council bought two farms north-east of Ditton, 111 a. in all, for ex-servicemen's smallholdings. (A P Baggs, G C Baugh, D C Cox, Jessie McFall and P A Stamper, 'Ditton Priors', in A History of the County of Shropshire: Volume 10, Munslow Hundred (Part), the Liberty and Borough of Wenlock, ed. G C Baugh (London, 1998), pp. 300-320. http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/salop/vol10/pp300-320). The Burwarton Estates comprise of 15,000 acres and are owned by Viscount Boyne, members of his family, and several family trusts. The bulk of the estate is located in Shropshire but there are also land holdings in North Yorkshire. In Shropshire the estate is comprised of two land holdings, the Burwarton Estate itself and the Peaton Estate located approximately 4 miles to the west of Burwarton. The Shropshire estates lie mainly within the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with the single most dominant geographical feature being the Brown Clee Hill, which rises to 540m and is the highest point in the county. Burwarton House. The principal house and home of the Boyne family dates back to 1835. The architect responsible for the building of Burwarton House was Anthony Salvin who designed it in the Italianate style. In 1876, Salvin was again engaged to carry out further alterations, which were followed by additions in 1906 and 1922. Burwarton House was greatly modified and reduced in 1956 to its present size.
