The MUSGRAVE family had long been a leading family of Cumberland and Westmorland and was originally of Hartley Castle in Westmorland. After a marriage around 1549 of Thomas MUSGRAVE to Joan, elder daughter and coheir of William STAPLETON of Edenhall, the MUSGRAVEs made Edenhall in Cumberland their main residence; Hartley Castle was demolished by the 5th baronet (1704-1735) for building stones, which were used to repair Edenhall. Edenhall was sold by the family in 1921 and demolished in 1934.
The MUSGRAVE Baronetcy was created in the Baronetage of England on 29 June 1611 for Richard MUSGRAVE, MP for Westmorland.
