THE situation of Mulgrave Castle is extremely fine, commanding a magnificent view of the German Ocean, on which one looks through precipitous banks in the grounds, as if on a picture set in a frame. In the times of old it was a fortress of a Saxon Duke, by name WADA, whom tradition has handed down as a giant. In subsequent Norman times the castle and barony were granted to NIGEL FOSSARD, from whose family it was next conveyed by the marriage of the heiress with SIR ROBERT DE TURNHAM, in the reign of Richard the Lion-hearted. He dying without a male heir, his daughter, ISABELLA DE TURNHAM, having become, by the death of her father, a ward of the crown, was given in marriage by King John to PETER DE MALO LACU, Otherwise Called Peter de Mauley, a native of Poicton, and esquire to the king, who had engaged him to assassinate Prince Arthur, to clear the way for his own accession to the throne. To this Peter, succeeded, according to Cainden, seven others of the same Christian name in succession, until the reign of Henry the Fifth, when the estates were conveyed by an heiress into the family of BIGOD, and next, by another, into that of RADCLIFFE. Subsequently, namely, about the year 1625, the property went into the hands of EDMUND, LORD SHEFFIELD OR BUTTERWICK, Lord President of the North, who, in the reign of Elizabeth, had greatly distinguished himself by many gallant actions, and more particularly in assisting towards the defeat of the Spanish Armada. He was created by King Charles EARL OF MULGRAVE, but the family became extinct in 1735. The title was, however, again revived in the person of CONSTANTINE PHIPPS, whose grandmother on the mother's side, Catherine, Dowager Countess of Anglesey, had re-married, secondly, John Sheffield, Duke of Buckingham, and by his bequest had succeeded to the Mulgrave and other estates.
