In London, aged 31, Henry Charlton Staunton, esq., of Staunton Hall, Notts. He was the third but eldest surviving son of the late Rev. William Job Charlton Staunton, by Isabella, only dau. of the late Very Rev. G. Gordon, D.D., Dean of Lincoln. He was born at Sedgebrook, in the year 1834, educated at Grantham School and at St. John's College, Cambridge, and was a magistrate for the county of Nottingham. As the deceased was unmarried, he is succeeded in the family estates by his brother Francis, rector of Staunton, who was born in 1839, and who, says the Stamford Mercury, "should the Prince of Wales visit Belvoir Castle in March next (as it is reported he will do), will have to perform, as representative of the Staunton family, a very ancient custom.* It is this—that when any of the royal family honour Belvoir Castle with their presence, the chief of the Staunton family is required personally to appear and present the key of the stronghold of the Castle (called Stannton's Tower) to the royal visitor. The ceremony was performed by the late Rev. Dr. Staunton, in virtue of his tenure of the manor of ' Staunton,' commonly called 'Castle Guard,' with an appropriate speech to the Prince Regent (afterwards George IV.), when his Royal Highness honoured the Duke of Rutland with his presence at the christening of the present Duke, Jan., 1814. The same ceremony was performed when the Duke of Gloucester visited Belvoir Castle in 1833."
