Ogle of Kirkley
Henry Ogle (1525–1580) the grandson of the 3rd Baron Ogle held lands at Kirkley, near Whalton, Northumberland under Lord Eure. His sons Mark and Cuthbert (1569–1655) each bought a part of the Manor from Lord Eure in about 1612 and in 1632 Cuthbert built a new manor house, Kirkley Hall, there, close by the site of the old house.
Cuthbert's great grandson joined the navy and ultimately became Admiral Sir Chaloner Ogle (1681–1750).
Another great grandson Dr. Nathaniel Ogle (d. c. 1739) of Kirkley was an army physician under the Duke of Marlborough, and was Deputy Lieutenant of Northumberland in 1715. His son Rev. Newton Ogle (1726–1804) was Prebendary of Durham Cathedral and Dean of Winchester Cathedral and in 1764 replaced the old house at Kirkley with a substantial mansion.
Another son Chaloner Ogle (1726–1816) like his elder second cousin and namesake also joined the navy and became on Admiral. He was created a Baronet of Kings Worthy, Hampshire, in the year of his death. For details of his successors see Ogle Baronets.
Rev. John Saville Ogle (1767–1853) son of Newton, was Canon of Salisbury Cathedral and prebendary of Durham Cathedral, and in 1832 he substantially extended and improved Kirkley Hall. He repurchased from the Duke of Portland the ancient family estates at Ogle.
The Kirkley estate was sold outside the family in 1922.
