Marmaduke Tunstall

In 1760, he succeeded to the family estates of Scargill, Hutton, Long Villers and Wycliffe.

On completing his studies, he took up residence in Welbeck Street, London, where he formed an extensive museum, as well as a large collection of living birds and animals.

After his marriage in 1776, the museum was moved to Wycliffe, and at the time, was one of the finest in England.

Tunstall died at Wycliffe, and his estates passed to his half-brother, William Constable.

Constable invited Thomas Bewick, whom Marmaduke had commissioned to engrave 'The Wild Bull of the Ancient Caledonian Breed, now in the park at Chilingham-Castle, Northumberland', to Wycliffe where he spent two months making drawings from the bird specimens.
