The martial and warlike family" of Musgrave, as it is styled by Camden, the author of the "Britannia," was originally of Musgrave, in Westmoreland, but coming into possession of Eden Hall by the marriage of Thomas de Musgrave with Joan de Stapleton, this thereupon became their seat, and has so continued till the present day. It is a lovely spot, situated in the forest of Inglewood, and. was first granted to, Henry Fitzweine, and afterwards belonged to one ROBERT TURPE, whose grandson, ROBERT TURPE, left two daughters his co-heiresses, one of whom, JULIAN TURPE, wedded, A.D. 1327, WILLIAM STAPLETON, and their descendants held the property for four generations, when it was carried to the family of MUSGRAVE, as above stated. The house is a handsome building of stone, and among other ancient reliques which it contains, is the famous old glass cap called "The Luck of Eden Hall." The sacred monogram I.H.S. shows it to have been hallowed in old times by Church use, but tradition records it to have been seized from a company of fairies who were sporting near a spring in the garden, and who, having vainly endeavoured to recover it, vanished into air singing, "If that glass either break or fall, Farewell the luck of Eden Hall." It has not fallen or been broken yet, and is preserved with the greatest care, being only used on far-between occasions, when it is filled to the brim with wine of the rarest vintage, and whoever takes it into his hand is expected to drain it at a draught. One of the ancestors of the present family, SIR PHILLIP MUSGRAVE, fought gallantry under the royal banner at Marston Moor, at Worcester, and in the Isle of Man, and after the Restoration had a warrant raising him to the peerage as Baron Musgrave of Hartley Castle, but the patent, was never taken out. His grand-uncle, Thomas Musgrave, had a controversy with Lancelot Carleton, and the following indenture shows the ancient form and manner of proceeding to a trial of arms at single combat:. A copy of the circa 1880 descriptive, which covers some wonderful landscape history and some genealogy information will be included.
