  • Notes 
    • John Winder ( the elder), born in 1626, married Mary before 1647 and they had ten surviving children at Lorton Hall, from Anne in 1648 to Jonathon in 1669. The heir, John, was born in 1651/2, and probably was not seen by his grandfather.

      John and Mary were the last Winder owners to to live at the Lorton Hall and he was responsible for the major renovations of about 1663. In 1690 he transferred ownership to his son, John, then a barrister at Gray's Inn, and at some time, maybe also in 1690, John and Mary Winder moved from Lorton to Cockermouth where they spent their later years.

      John Winder the elder died in 1696, his son John in 1699 after selling Lorton Hall to one Christopher Dalston in that year. So ended the Winders of Lorton Hall. [1]
