The contents of the Newton Hall estate were auctioned off recently which included a lot of Cook and Widdrington possessions.
The first sale of the higher quality items went via Christies.
here's a portrait of the Shilbottle vicar
Joseph Cook
entry page for the whole sale is here

I did ask Christies if I could use their images of Rev Cook and his brother on our website but they have ignored me.
The lower value items from the estate were sold via Jim Railton's Alnwick auction house.

they had a nice picture of
Dorothy Widdrington which went for £260. this then appeared on
ebay and went for £1,120 - nice little earner for someone.
Anyway back on topic, in the Railton sale he had a Wilson Hepple oil of Widdrington Castle, which is the only other image I have seen, but perhaps Hepple used the older engraving as the inspiration for his oil anyway?
this is it
here (went for £850)
