His paternal grandfather, Charles Marriott, of Cotesbach Hall [born 1848], was the second son of the Rev James Marriott [1819-71], who married 19 Dec 1844, Lucy Henrietta Strickland [d 1871], daughter of Sir George Strickland, Bt, and his wife the former Mary Constable, of Wassand. The Rev James Marriott, inherited the Strickland property, including the Boynton estate, and under the terms of the will of Lady Strickland he assumed the surname of Goulton-Constable in lieu of Marriott.
From the Telegraph: His peripatetic childhood had taken him from Essex to London to West Sussex and, during the war years, to Farnley, outside Leeds, but it was not until 1981 that Richard and his wife, Sally, arrived in East Yorkshire, having bought Boynton Hall and its estate. With its family connections going back to the 1550s, the hall had been sold by Richard’s uncle in 1950. Over the following four decades the couple painstakingly repurchased its buildings, books, furniture, pictures and land. It was a source of joy to them to restore Boynton and share the house with friends and family.
