_Heyheved_, mentioned in MR. PARKER'S list, is _Highhead Castle_ in
Cumberland. In the reign of Edward II. it was a _peel house_ (pelum de
Heyheved) possessed by Harcla, Earl of Carlisle. In modern times it became
the property of a family named Richmond, one of whom erected the present
house, after a plan by Inigo Jones. But he died before it was finished,
leaving co-heirs, who quarrelled about the partition of the estate, and
actually put a hedge through the centre of the house. Eventually one-half
came into the hands of Lord Brougham, who is understood to have purchased
the other, and will probably restore the whole.
