EXTON, (Rutland) 3 m. from Okeham, came, by marriage, to David K. of Scots; who thereby also became, in right of his wife
(daughter and heiress of Judith, the niece of Will. the Conq.) E. of Huntington. It afterwards went, by the female issue,
to the noble family of the Bruces; from them to the Greens; from them to the Culpepers; and from them to the Harringtons,
who held it near 600 years in a direct line, till it was sold, in the 15th century, to Sir Baptist Hicks, in trust, to pay
the debts of the two last Lds. Harrington. It was afterwards Visc. Camden's; and it is now the manor and seat of the E. of
Gainsborough, whose ancestor married the heiress of Sir Baptist Hicks. Baptist Noel Visc. Camden lies in its Ch. where a
monument was created for him in 1684, by his 3d son John Noel, at the expence of 1000 l. 'Tis 22 foot high and 14 broad,
and was executed by that famous carver Mr. Grimlin Gibbons.
