[Illustration] A family of ancient standing in this county,
descended from John de Lascelles, of Hinderskelfe, now called Castle
Howard, in the wapentake of Bulmer, in the North riding, living in
the ninth year of Edward II. For seven generations immediately
following they were called "_Lascelles alias Jackson_." About the
reign of Henry VI. they removed to Gawthorpe, also in the North
riding, and afterwards to Stank and Northallerton; Harewood was
purchased about 1721.
