Skelton

England would never again send a Preston or a Skelton to bow down before the majesty of France.

Skelton mentions rochets 'of fyne Raynes'; Colin Clout, 316.

He married a rich young widow—Martha Skelton—though it does not appear that he did so because she was rich.

The trees in great masses cover the gentle slopes on either side of the Skelton Beck, and almost hide the modern mansion.

The buildings include part of the ancient castle of the Bruces, who were Lords of Skelton for many years.
