Here's an interesting Trewhitt hall occupant mentioned in the "Yorkshire Post and Leeds Intelligencer" 09 June 1936:

Wedding Postponed Through Illness
Naval Officer Son of Sir A.W. White


The marriage of Lieutenant Richard Taylor White, Royal Navy, and Miss Gabrielle Ursula Style, which was to have taken place at Malta yesterday, has been unavoidably postponed it is announced. It is understood (says a Reuter message) that illness is the cause of the postponement, and that the marriage will take place in the autumn.
Lieutenant White is the second son of Sir Archibald Wollaston White and Lady White, of Trewhitt Hall, Thropton, Morpeth. Miss Style is a daughter of Mr and Mrs R.H. Style, of Boxley House Maidstone. Mr and Mrs style and Sir Archibald White left England last Thursday and arrived in Malta yesterday. Lady White has been in Malta for the last three weeks. Sir Archibald White is the well-known cricketer who captained Yorkshire before the war.


That'll be a pre WW1 Yorkshire Cricket Captain, as the date here is 1936!
Let's hope Richard and Gabrielle got their nuptials in the end.


Edit:
Richard got the DSO and two bars in the war. Now that is rare. ["He married Gabrielle Ursula Style in 1936 September 3rd and had three sons and two daughters." so there you go]
