Baron Widdrington
Baron Widdrington, of
Christie’s in 2010. The important collection of family portraits passed into the possession of the Towneley family through Mary Widdrington, daughter of the third Baron (who married Richard Towneley). These were sold at various auctions after Towneley Hall was emptied in about 1902.[2] A few have since been donated to Towneley Hall, and (at least) four were donated to Stonyhurst College
in the 19th century.
Edward Widdrington, cousin of the first Baron, was created a baronet in both 1635 and 1642 (see Widdrington baronets).
