Previous holder: Unknown; a Domesday and medieval predecessor holding is recorded, but continuity has not been demonstrated. Holding arrangement: sole Share / interest: Not stated Shared holding: Frankland family Narrative / explanation: The Yorkshire Gardens Trust states that by the late sixteenth century the manor of Aldwark was owned by the Frankland family and that it continued in their ownership until the twentieth century. The death of Sir Robert Frankland-Russell in 1849 marks a documented chronological point, but the precise legal devolution of the manor after his death is not established by the stronger public sources located. This entry records the family holding without inferring a particular inheritance or conveyance.

Previous holder: Frankland family Holding arrangement: sole Share / interest: Not stated Shared holding: Frankland family / Frankland-Russell Narrative / explanation: A 1861 survey in the North Yorkshire County Record Office is identified as an estate in the parish of Alne that was the property of Lady Frankland Russell. The Yorkshire Gardens Trust also states that the present house was built about 1863 by the then owner, Lady Frankland-Russell. Because other sources place the Walsingham ownership in the same general period, this entry records the directly named 1861 owner but does not assert an exact conveyance or an uninterrupted sole legal title through the later 1860s.

Previous holder: Lady Frankland-Russell or the Frankland family; precise legal transfer unresolved Holding arrangement: sole Share / interest: Not stated Shared holding: Walsingham family Narrative / explanation: The Aldwark Manor Estate history states that in 1865 Lord Walsingham commissioned the new residence, and the DiCamillo Companion lists Thomas de Grey, 5th Baron Walsingham, as associated with the present house until 1870. These sources establish a Walsingham connection with the Aldwark manor estate, but the available evidence does not establish whether the legal title had already passed from Lady Frankland-Russell, was held jointly or through a settlement, or remained in another family member's name. No precise conveyance is inferred. Source citation: Aldwark Manor Estate, History of Aldwark Manor; Curt DiCamillo, The DiCamillo Companion, Aldwark Manor.

Previous holder: Thomas de Grey, 5th Baron Walsingham Holding arrangement: sole Share / interest: Not stated Shared holding: Walsingham family Narrative / explanation: The DiCamillo Companion identifies Thomas de Grey, 6th Baron Walsingham, as associated with the present Aldwark Manor from 1870 to 1911. The Aldwark Manor Estate history states that the township of Aldwark was owned by Lord Walsingham when it was offered for sale on 29 May 1911. The sale apparently did not complete, so the 1911 date is recorded as the end of the securely documented Walsingham period rather than as a completed conveyance.
