Research sources:
- English Heritage, History of Aldborough Roman Site, stating that Aldborough was a valued possession of successive Dukes of Newcastle and that Andrew Lawson purchased Aldborough manor in 1834 from the 4th Duke of Newcastle; corroborated by the study 'A Great Electioneer and His Motives Reconsidered,' which identifies the Duke as lord of the manor of Aldborough. — https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/aldborough-roman-site/history/
