Ridley Hall is now the seat of John Davidson, Esq.: it takes its name from the Ridleys ofWillimoteswick, a castle now in ruins about 1| mile west of Ridley Hall, and on the same sideof the Tyne, where the celebrated Bishop Ridley was bom, about the commencement of the six-teenth century. Sir M. W. Ridley, Bait, of Blagdon, is a lineal descendant of the above family.
